I think we're dealing with another yo-yo situation, where the White House puts out a trial balloon, gauges reaction, and then pulls it back, allowing everyone to see what they want to see but mainly confusing the issue.
Earlier today the New York Times reported a wide-ranging deal between the President and House Speaker John Boehner, something that progressed all the way to the point where it was related to other Congressional leaders. It would have $3 trillion in concrete cuts, with a tax reform plan to be decided later – in 2012, during the election! – that would have a goal of raising revenue. So there would be all cuts, with the revenue option to come later. Never mind that, from the current baseline, this is a $0.00 deficit reduction deal. It just replaces $3 trillion in spending cuts, including cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, for the expiration of the Bush tax cuts.
Harry Reid, obviously briefed on a framework agreement, expressed concern about an all-cuts approach with only the hope of revenue increases later. Apparently there was a fail-safe attached to the previous Obama/Boehner grand bargain that has now been jettisoned.
One top Dem aide explained the problem: In early negotiations that ultimately collapsed, Obama and Boehner considered passing a package of spending cuts with a promise to tackle tax reform in the coming months. But — this is key — a failsafe written in to the grand bargain would have decoupled most of the Bush tax cuts from those cuts benefiting only top earners. If comprehensive tax reform failed to pass this Congress, those top bracket cuts would expire.
Now, the aide says, Democrats are concerned that the White House might abandon that failsafe […]
"I only know what you know about the agreement — the potential agreement," Reid said. "I've been told — a call came in from the White House during this meeting that there's no agreement, they're working toward an agreement. What I have to say is this: The President always talked about balance. That there had to be some fairness in this. That this can't be all cuts. There has to be a balance. There has to be some revenue in the cuts. My caucus agrees with that. I hope the President sticks with that. I'm confident he will."
OMB Director Jack Lew apparently heard a lot of anger from the Senate over this report in a caucus meeting. And now, Dan Pfeiffer has tweeted: "Anyone reporting a $3 trillion deal without revenues is incorrect. POTUS believes we need a balanced approach that includes revenues."
Well, it's possible that the aspirational future tax reform plan does "include revenues" under Obama's working definition. But that's life with the yo-yo.
All we know is that we don't know. There's a Gang of Six plan that House Republicans and Democrats alike don't favor, for different reasons. There's this grand bargain plan that could probably get Republicans but maybe not Democrats, especially with only aspirational revenue. There's the McConnell-Reid stopgap with $1.5 trillion in cuts attached, but there are arguments about the cuts.
About the only thing we know is this: because of the lack of a legislative agenda outside of these debt limit discussions, K Street is losing clients and having to hire less lobbyists.
So there's a silver lining after all.
…the President just called a 5:30 ET meeting with Pelosi, Reid, Hoyer and Durbin. This could be the "bring the hammer down" meeting where Democrats are told it's either this grand bargain with no definite revenue or nothing.

text: Fair-trade Happy Buddha Statues | Laughing Buddha Statues The laughing Happy Buddha statue or Chinese Buddha statue as he is sometimes known began life as a monk named Angida. He was a very talented snake catcher. He used his talents to capture venomous snakes so that no one in his village could be injured or worse still die from a snake bite. Angida would never kill the snakes; he would calmly remove their fangs then simply let them go. Because of his selfless act he became known as Bodhi or the Laughing Buddha to you and me. In almost every documented case of Happy Buddha statues you will notice Bodhi is carrying a sack. The sack will never be empty as inside the sack he carries food for the hungry, sweets for the children, rice plant and lastly he is said to carry the woes of the world. If Bodhi is not seen with a sack he will be seen with an amulet or an overflowing begging bowl. The amulet or begging bowl symbolizes generosity and authority in heaven. To summarize Bodhi the laughing Buddha Statue represents happiness, prosperity, good luck and plenitude to your home. Each and every stone and wooden Buddha statue we sell is a Genuine Hand carved item, meaning it has been carved with true spiritual meaning and passion by our Buddhist artists and not mass produced by machine in a factory.

Qualifies for the list as a Declining Yellow List Species
Photo: Glen Tepke
The Elegant Tern has the smallest breeding range of any North American tern. There are only five colonies of this bird known, three in coastal California and two on islands in the Gulf of California, Mexico. Four of these five were established in the last 50 years. Introduced mammals have presumably contributed heavily to the loss of other breeding islands in the past.
The vast majority (estimated as over 90% of breeding pairs) breeds at just one of these sites, Isla Raza in the Gulf of California, though numbers at the California coastal sites are expanding rapidly.
In the 1990s, the world population of this species was estimated at fewer than 30,000 pairs.
Favored nesting habitat is low, flat, sandy areas largely bare of vegetation. The tern nests among larger, more aggressive larids, including Caspian Terns and the WatchListed Heerman's Gull. The birds typically feed in the shallow waters of estuaries and bays along the ocean.
Guano mining, particularly in the 19th century, impacted Isla Raza, and in more recent years egg collection and other human disturbance have diminished the tern's population there. Isla Raza was declared a sanctuary in 1964, and since then the numbers of Elegant Tern there have increased.
During the winter, Elegant Terns are found along the Pacific Coast from central Mexico to Chile. Changes in ocean temperature due to global warming and overfishing may change ranges and/or diminish numbers of the fish these birds depend on for food.

Dr. Chapleau's research focuses on mechanisms of autonomic regulation in health and disease including effects of aging, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure, and muscular dystrophy. Key hypotheses involve the roles of acid-sensing ion channels in sensory transduction, reactive oxygen species and angiotensin in sensory and sympathetic signaling, and oxidative stress in autonomic dysregulation. Experimental approaches include assessment of the cellular and molecular basis of sensory transduction and neuronal excitability in baroreceptor and sympathetic neurons using patch-clamp, imaging, and molecular techniques; recording of baroreceptor and sympathetic nerve activity in vivo; and assessment of cardiovascular and autonomic function in conscious mice using radiotelemetry. The latter includes measurements of blood pressure, heart rate, locomotor activity, HR and BP variability, sympathetic and vagal tone, and baroreflex sensitivity.

FinSMEs: Breitbart News Network Closes $10M Equity Funding
October 26, 2011- According to a Filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (Form D), Breitbart News Network, LLC, a Los Angeles, CA-based news and analysis aggregator, has closed a $10m equity funding round.
Investors remained undisclosed.
Led by CEO Andrew Breitbart and President Laurence Solow, Breitbart.com aggregates, and offers real-time access to, news and analysis sources. It allows users to monitor feeds (even video) from wires, newspapers, networks, blogs, etc.
The company is currently working on a new site – Breitbart.tv, which will be dedicated to news video, and add community features to allow users to comment on stories and customize the sources.
Huffington Post: James O'Keefe's Newest Target Appears To Be A Small, Progressive Economic Think Tank
-by Sam Stein
October 17, 2011- Among members of Washington D.C.'s think tank community, the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) is known as a den for unbending liberals. The group works to stake out a progressive pole in the national debate. But in the age of President Obama, its influence has been limited. Despite having had an alum in the administration -- Vice President Biden's former chief economist Jared Bernstein -- it has found itself, more often than not, disillusioned with the president's embrace of austerity measures and his willingness to support moderate policies.
RAW Story: Anonymous: James O'Keefe lives with his parents
-By Eric W. Dolan
October 12, 2011- A group of hacktivists associated with "Anonymous" and the AntiSec movement on Wednesday published the personal information of conservative prankster James O'Keefe online.
Going by the name CabinCr3w, the group announced it had published details relating to his age, home address, probation officer, education, family, and work because he worked with conservative Andrew Breitbart and was trying to belittle the "Occupy Wall Street" protest.
The group noted that O'Keefe now lives with his parents because of parole restrictions and successfully led a campaign to ban Lucky Charms cereal from his school cafeteria because it stereotyped Irish people.
Talking Points Memo: James O'Keefe Spokesman Says Probation Officer Approved His 'Occupy Wall Street' Visit
-by Ryan J. Reilly
October 10, 2011- A thought occurred to us when we saw reports this afternoon that conservative filmmaker James O'Keefe visited the Occupy Wall Street protest in New York City: isn't that dude still on probation?
So we looked into it, and according to court records, a judge never approved his trip across the Hudson River and out of the state of New Jersey, where he lives with his parents. A judge has regularly approved all of his trips since he pleaded guilty to entering U.S. property under false pretenses back in May 2010 and received three years probation.
Did James O'Keefe think no one would notice this?
Remember James O'Keefe's NPR scam? The one where he had some fake "Muslim extremists" take an NPR executive to lunch? To make his "Islamo-fascists" seem more credible, he created a phony website for them; MEAC of America. (Don't worry- we've archived the site in case he suddenly decides to take it down) All right so far- except that on the About page MEAC claims to be a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The problem is, they aren't. Oops.
Perhaps James O'Keefe doesn't think falsely claiming 501(c)(3) status constitutes fraud if it's a non-existent organization cooked up only to trick a legitimate non-profit organization. Perhaps the right court will see this as a grey area...
Trouble For O'Keefe
James O'Keffe's latest prank is yet another violation of his probation and has attracted the attention of Anonymous, who posted the following on Pastebin.Com:
James O'Keefe was at #occupywallstreet on Monday (10 October, 2011), and was very likely there to make trouble for #occupiers.
He even dressed up for us, perhaps in an attempt to blend in with NY elites?
Surely he knew he was there in violation of his probation. We ask that you call his probation officer NOW. Don't rest on this. O'Keefe has been behind other operations in an attempt to fabricate stories on political opponents. source: http://bit.ly/nzAOsw
Here's the contact info for his Probation Officer:
Gawker: Here's Video of James O'Keefe Scheming at Occupy Wall Street
October 10, 2011- The rumors were true: Doltish conservative stuntman James O'Keefe was hanging out at Occupy Wall Street today. No doubt he was dreaming up another hilarious sex imprisonment fantasy prank that proves liberals suck. We've got video.
According Michael, the guy who shot this video, O'Keefe didn't seem to be filming at the time. "He was walking by and a couple of people were just pointing out that he was who he was," Michael told us over the phone a short time ago. "He was trying to be completely not in anyone's way, not to bring too much attention to himself." Whoops, sorry James.
The Brad Blog: Breitbart May be Pulled into ACORN-Related San Diego Lawsuit Against O'Keefe, Giles
PLUS: Local media outlet reports story accurately!...
-By Brad Friedman
September 30, 2011- The civil trial against Republican propagandist and con-artist Andrew Breitbart's salaried employee James O'Keefe --- a convicted federal criminal as well as propagandist and con-artist in his own right --- continues in San Diego where a former ACORN employee has sued both O'Keefe and his partner Hannah Giles for violations of California's privacy act.

Hello Elyse,
I have just recently moved to Somerville (Winter Hill area) and I LOVE the area. I bumped into this site while looking for something to do this weekend and I am soooo excited that I did. I wanted to make a suggestion: Is there a way that you can have a calendar that we can add to our gmail calendars. It might be too much to ask, but it would be great to have automatic Somerville updates on my phone calendar.
If not, it's fine. Still love the site! You're doing an amazing job! =)
Hello Elyse,
Thanks for the reply. I am very excited to hear the update on this…i hope it can be done! =)

Abou Diaby
Abou made his long-awaited return to the first team in the last Premier League game of the 2013/14 season away to Norwich City after more than 14 months out with a cruciate knee ligament injury. The midfielder spent much of his rehabilitation in his native France before returning to training in spring and making an appearance for the under-21 side in April.
When fully fit, there are few Premier League midfielders who can match Abou for technique and presence on the ball. He demonstrated this with four fine performances early in the 2012/13 season, particularly during a 2-0 win at Liverpool.
Abou Diaby Profile

Paris, France
|Squad Number:
|Previous Club(s)
|Auxerre, Paris Saint-Germain
|Arsenal Debut
|January 21, 2006
He joined the Gunners from Auxerre at the age of 19 and, despite some serious injuries, has been integral to Arsene Wenger's plans when fit. The same can be said with the French national team, for whom he has won 16 caps and featured heavily in the 2010 World Cup campaign, playing all 270 minutes. He also won the Uefa Under-19 Championship in 2005 before injuries cruelly interrupted his career.
This season Abou will be hoping that, after completing his recovery, he is afforded the lengthy run of fitness that he deserves.

Arcie Mallari (2010 - 2011)
Arcie, the first Sauvé Scholar from the Philippines is, as far as is known, also the only Sauvé Scholar to have lived in a dumpsite. His experience led to the creation of Silid Aralan, whose purpose is to empower children by facilitating their discovery of their fullest potential, developing their love for learning and discovering their life's purpose.
The concept of Silid Aralan, Inc (SAI) , or "Learning Room", of which Arcie is Founder and President, came from Arcie's experience when he lived in one of the dumpsites in the Philippines, called Payatas after graduating from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines with a BA in Political Economy. He witnessed children and youth scavengers and his life became intimately intertwined with the lives of young men and women who lived in deepest poverty. It was there that he met youth who dreamed of being a jeepney driver, or a housemaid; and high school students who could not read or comprehend their textbooks. Arcie was inspired to create an advocacy and develop unique education programs.
Three years later, the first set of scholars graduated. Romanicnic, who aspired to be a housemaid, graduated and got a job. She was able to support her brother while he finished his college degree and was also able to take her family out of the dumpsite to live a decent life.
Now, Silid Aralan, in partnership with local government, corporations and other local businesses, has changed the lives of thousands of underprivileged and academically-challenged students throughout the Philippines. No longer considered low-performing students, they are now academic achievers.
Building ten Silid Aralan Community of Learners Centres, training around 5,000 students, employee and teacher-volunteers nationwide, mobilizing 500 parent volunteers; and affecting thousands of children in two years is daunting. Through all these programs like Silid Aralan, Inc, Arcie's greater accomplishment is leading the way towards empowerment, creating heroes and mobilizing hundreds of others to educate and empower the children in a concrete, tangible and sustainable way.
In addition to being the Founder and President of SAI, Arcie is a member of the International Planning Committee of the UNESCO Chair and Institute of Comparative Human Rights, and a consultant to the Monark Group of Companies. He has been in the field of children's and youth development for 12 years now. He developed the learning framework of SAI called Silid Aralan Learning Technology (SALT) which has helped thousands of children since its introduction in 2007. He was the Project Director for the youth development project in Payatas, Quezon City, and created educational and scholarship programs for underprivileged youth who wanted to go to colleges. With experience and expertise in children and youth development, specifically in education, he has been invited to deliver trainings for more than one thousand public and private school teachers, government and private sector employees and managers nationwide.
As a Sauvé Scholar:
Arcie's project as a Sauvé Scholar was to design and plan Super Kids: Create Heroes, Be a Hero! and to create training modules for its facilitators. The focus was on developing skills and confidence through heroism and community outreach. Why heroes? Heroes achieve success by believing in the power of their ideas, having the confidence to take risks and to fail, persevering and overcoming obstacles, recognizing opportunities, and finding new and better ways to solve problems.
With the Super Kids Project, facilitators can assist the kids they work with to develop the critical and creative thinking skills they need in creating breakthrough results and possibilities. Through fun, creative, and rapid learning that sticks, Super Kids inspires kids to discover their passions, think creatively and independently, take responsibility, embrace change, persevere, be effective problem solvers, and much more.
Arcie aimed to develop a Super Kids module for academically-challenged or low performing students throughout the Philippines. To do this, he spent much of his time as a Sauvé Scholar learning about child and youth motivation and leadership. Furthermore, he built an income generating element into the program so that Super Kids may become economically sustainable and replicated throughout the Philippines. In this way, it is his hope that low performing students will become student leaders and will in turn impact their communities and inspire other kids to become heroes.

There's one final test in the junior lifeguard program on Okaloosa Island — jumping off of the fishing pier. It's a task even trained lifeguards can find daunting.
"I don't want to do it, but I'm making myself jump off to practice," said first-year lifeguard Jacqueline Schlageter. "Maybe it won't be so hard next time."
While the 30-foot jump is required for lifeguard training, it's just an option for the junior guards. It's like a right of passage.
See photos from the pier jump.
"A lot of the kids jump because this is the only time they can," Schlageter said, pointing to a sign that prohibits jumping off the pier.
Crowding around the take-off spot, Okaloosa County Beach Safety Chief Rich Huffnagle helps the junior lifeguards over the railing.
"Look at the horizon, keep your feet and knees together, jump out," he chants to each kid.
Ten-year-old Elle Brock is still deciding whether she wants to jump.
With a little encouragement, she plunges from the pier.
"A countdown helps," Schlageter said.
The junior lifeguard program aims to encourage recruitment for seasonal lifeguards. In fact, 50 to 80 percent of junior lifeguards continue to the real deal, said Huffnagle.
Carlee Michna was one of those recruits, signing up as a junior lifeguard when she was 9. Now 18, she's been manning the lifeguard towers on the island for a few years. She plans to go to college to become a teacher so she'll still have summers available.
"I hate the winter. I'm always looking forward to spending summers here," she said.
And reaching hundreds of kids each summer helps create a culture of boys and girls who keep the beach safe.
"The jump is their inauguration," Huffnagle said. "The junior lifeguards learn how to overcome obstacles — to be tested — and when they succeed, we build on that success. This is the pinnacle."
WANT TO GO: Want to sign your kids up for 2015? Kids aged 9-17 can sign up for the two-week or six-week training camp. Visit okaloosabeachsafety.org for more information.

As the saying goes here on the west side of the Atlantic Ocean, "stats don't lie" and in
Rooney and Manchester United's case this is certainly the truth. As an avid United fan, some may say I'm biased when making the bold statement that Rooney is one of the best players in the world but his ability to have an impact on the game as a forward without scoring goals or even getting assists makes him irreplaceable.
As a forward, your number one job is to score goals, your number two job, if you can't score, is to get assists – all in all be creative and have an influence on the game in the attacking third.
Rooney has come under a lot of criticism this year after being pushed out from under the spotlight and into Robin Van Persie's shadow, and he hasn't dealt with it too well. Rumor has it he wants out, and after Sir Alex Ferguson's end of season sub shows for Rooney that United are happy to show him to the door. But life after Rooney isn't going to be as gleaming as one may hope. You're going to want to keep reading after the jump.
As the saying goes here on the west side of the Atlantic Ocean, "stats don't lie" and in
By now we have all had enough of this Clint Dempsey saga with Fulham. At this point we just want to see our boy playing and representing for the States. The latest in the story is that Fulham has filed an official complaint with the BPL regarding Liverpool's attempt to acquire Dempsey.
The problem now is that Clint is being perceived as the bad guy in all this. All my man wants to do is leave for a better club the same way LeBron and Dwight did in the NBA. I see no problem with wanting to win. Enough with the discrete subliminal messages Clint…
Fresh off of an MLS Cup victory, David Beckham is taking his talents to Paris. After months of rumors and negotiations, Beckham will sign his contract with Paris Saint-Germain in the beginning of January. Backed by wealthy Qatari investors, PSG has spent over $111 Million this summer alone to sign nine different players.
Who knows why Beckham signed with PSG, it could be because of Jay-Z and Kanye's now-famous rap anthem or he could be going for the shot to win a Club championship for yet another country. Whatever his reasoning, it doesn't hurt that he'll be earning $1.05 Millions dollars per MONTH for the next year and a half.
Total Soccer Magazine is reporting that French club Paris Saint-Germain has made contact with David Beckham and will meet in Los Angeles to discuss a possible move to Paris. With new ownership and deep pockets, the club appears to be looking to make a splash both on and off the field. PSG director Leonardo, Beckham's former coach at AC Milan, told the BBC, "He is more than a football player, but when you see him every day he trains and plays like a kid…he's a brand, a pop star. I would always consider him."
PSG has not won the French league title since 1994, but thanks to their new petrol-fueled Qatari owners, they were the second biggest spenders in the summer transfer window behind only Manchester City at roughly 118 million dollars (as reported by Sabotage Times.)
Should he stay or should he go now? Whatever Becks decides, it has been a fun ride having him in the United States playing in the MLS. At least he can bring his very own adipower predators with him!
Arsenal looks set to complete its second signing on transfer deadline day after agreeing to terms with Werder Bremen's Per Mertesacker in a deal believed to be around 10 million pounds. They were hoping to sign him when he was 3, but the Bundesliga swooped swooped him up before Arsenal had the chance.
Finally, Arsene Wenger has realized that having a bad ass replica of a "Lord of the Rings" character is the smart choice to lead them through Mordor, aka the city of Manchester. Although, I hope for Mertesacker's sake he can be a bit "bigger" than Frodo and the crew for Arsenal's back line.
Mertesacker is a strong 6-foot, 6-inch defender and has 75 caps for Germany, adding a wealth of experience and knowledge at the highest level. But don't worry Gooner fans, there's still plenty of time for Arsene to grab the next Leonel Correia.
As we posted the other day, Sammuel Eto'o had been sought after by Anzhi Makhachkala to join the Russian side. Anzhi now says it's official, they have reached an agreement with Inter Milan to sign Eto'o, who will head to Russia to undergo a medical.
A statement from the Russian club read:
"Today an agreement was reached between the football clubs, Anzhi and Inter, for the transfer of Samuel Eto'o. The terms of the transfer are completely agreed on both sides. Anzhi expresses gratitude to the leadership of Inter Milan for their professional and constructive approach in the negotiations. Tomorrow the player will undergo a medical examination, following which the player will be awarded a three-year contract. 'On Thursday, Samuel will arrive at the location of his new team and will begin preparations for the match against FC Rostov."
Udaltsov told BBC Sport:
"The contract is €21 million – €15 million paid straight away and €6 million more. Over the three years he'll get around €30 million. He's a good player so of course he costs good money," he said. "Of course it's a very good deal for our club. Samuel is very well known all over the world. We hope he can help our club reach our high ambition – playing in the Champions League and doing well in the Russian Premier Liga. This shows we have a real big ambition – not only talking. We're always looking to sign the best players all over the world. Our club is already in the process of building a big team and of course Samuel is a big step in doing that. The first step was getting Roberto Carlos to our club when everyone was laughing," Udaltsov said. "Now you see we have a lot of good players in our team – not only Eto'o but Roberto Carlos, Mbark Boussoufa – three-time best player in the Belgian league – one of the best players of PSV Eindhoven in Balazs Dzsudzsak and one of the best player of Uzbekistan in Odil Ahmedov. We understand we need time to rebuild the team. The fact you buy a lot of good players doesn't mean you have a good team. They need time to play with each other on the field – that's why we have set a target to be in the Champions League in three years' time."
Arsenal have agreed terms with Manchester City over the transfer of midfielder Samir Nasri and he is set to undergo a medical at the club on Tuesday afternoon. Nasri had asked to be left out of the squad to face Udinese in the Champions League play-offs as talk of a £25 million move increased and now the Gunners have revealed that a deal is almost done.
A statement read:
"Arsenal can confirm that they have agreed terms for Samir Nasri to move to Manchester City. The 24-year-old midfielder, who has spent three years with the Gunners, has been omitted from Arsenal's squad which flies to Udinese this afternoon and instead will travel north for a medical. The move will be subject to Nasri passing a medical and formal registration processes."
Arsene Wenger said:
"The summer was very difficult because we had Cesc Fabregas and Nasri on permanent transfer negotiations and that is draining in the end. We lost two great players and that's a sad side of the story but at some stage it has to be over, because you want to focus on the future. The decision had a logic but it is of course, as well, a business interest. But, overall, what you want is that you have players who do not play and think they go the next morning. It's not ideal as well. So you want players who are completely committed to the long-term, to defend our chances. We wanted to sort all these cases out very early after the summer, but it wasn't possible. And the pace is not only dictated by us, unfortunately."
Nasri, who signed for Arsenal in the summer of 2008 from Marseille for a fee of £15.8 million, had previously rejected a new £90,000-a-week contract to stay at the club and only had one year left on his current deal.
Inter Milan has reportedly reached a deal with Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala for the transfer of striker Samuel Eto'o, a deal that should make the Cameroon international the highest paid soccer player in the world.
After several days of negotiations, Italian media report Sunday that the two clubs have agreed on a transfer fee of $38.9 million and that the deal will be formalized Monday.
Anzhi is expected to give Eto'o a three-year contract worth $28.8 million per season, surpassing the estimated $17.3 million that Cristiano Ronaldo earns at Real Madrid and the $15.1 million that Lionel Messi is paid by Barcelona.
West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has laughed off QPR's £4 million bid for England international midfielder Scott Parker. QPR are set to be major players in the final fortnight of the transfer window following the takeover by Tony Fernandes, who is targeting several new recruits.
The need for QPR to strengthen was brutally highlighted on the opening weekend of the Premier League season, when they were thumped 4-0 at home by Bolton Wanderers, but they will need to double their offer for Parker if they are to attract the 30-year-old to the club.
"[The offer is] ridiculously low," Sullivan told the Daily Mirror. "We see it as a cheap publicity stunt. It's a bit like us bidding £12 million for Wayne Rooney."
Although Parker is known to be pressing for a transfer away from Upton Park, Sullivan is willing to let the Hammers carry the burden of his wages this season if their valuation is not met.
"We hope Scott is our player on September 1," Sullivan added, "but we respect the fact that he has given us four great years of service. We also respect the fact he wants to move to a Premier League club to protect his position in the England team, but unless we receive our valuation, he won't be sold."
Raul, 34, is reported to be unhappy in Germany after a series of disagreements with coach Ralf Rangnick over his role in the side. He scored for Schalke in their win over Cologne on Saturday but his muted celebration added fuel to rumours that he was on his way out.
But after Schalke's general manager Horst Heldt said on Tuesday that Blackburn had made an approach for the striker, a statement on the club's website confirmed Raul was staying put.
It read: "This Tuesday FC Schalke 04 took an official request from Blackburn Rovers, which told of the Premier League club's interest in signing Raul."
It quoted Heldt as saying: "Both our coach Ralf Rangnick and my colleague Peter Peters and I have always stressed that we do not want him to leave. Raul told us that he wants to stay with Schalke 04 and asked us to cancel talks with Blackburn Rovers. We are pleased that Raul wants to continue to contribute to our sporting success. "

|Rams | Pass protection key for Tre Mason
Thu, 26 Feb 2015 19:11:12 -0800
St. Louis Rams RB Tre Mason didn't play until Week 6 of last season because of his issues with pass protection, according to head coach Jeff Fisher.
Fantasy Tip: He was the team's best rusher once he stepped on the field, and given Fisher's desire to make St. Louis a power-running team, Mason could be primed for a big season in 2015 if he can handle his blocking assignments well enough to be an every-down back.

|Rams | Isaiah Pead could be dumped by Rams
Sun, 08 Feb 2015 17:18:29 -0800
The St. Louis Rams might consider releasing RB Isaiah Pead this offseason. The move would create just under $941,000 of additional cap space. The club has RBs Tre Mason, Benny Cunningham, Zac Stacy and Trey Watts on the roster, and Pead hasn't had much impact since being drafted in the second round in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Tip: Pead has been a huge disappointment, and he is well buried on the depth chart. He could latch on with another organization if released, but he has a long way to go to climb back into the fantasy picture.

|Rams | Tre Mason productive in first half
Sun, 30 Nov 2014 11:50:02 -0800
St. Louis Rams RB Tre Mason rushed for 113 yards and one touchdown on six carries in the first half of the team's Week 13 game.
Fantasy Tip: Mason has become the team's main running back but has not posted great numbers up to this point. Mason should continue to receive most of the carries and could be a solid starting option on FantasyScore.

|Rams | Tre Mason hits century mark
Sun, 16 Nov 2014 18:00:38 -0800
St. Louis Rams RB Tre Mason carried 29 times for 113 yards in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos, the most against the Broncos rush defense this season. It was Mason's first career 100-yard rushing game, too.
Fantasy Tip: Mason has emerged from a pack of running backs to seize the top job in St. Louis. He is a bona fide No. 2 RB in FantasyScore, and he comes with a cheaper price tag than some of the bigger names on the board.

|Rams | Tre Mason starts in Week 10
Sun, 09 Nov 2014 15:25:24 -0800
St. Louis Rams RB Tre Mason made the start in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Fantasy Tip: Mason has ascended to the top of the depth chart in St. Louis and has emerged as a decent RB2 or flex play in FantasyScore.

|Rams | Tre Mason not named starter
Mon, 03 Nov 2014 15:48:04 -0800
St. Louis Rams RB Tre Mason received the start in Week 9, but head coach Jeff Fisher is not ready to name Mason as the team's starting running back.
Fantasy Tip: Mason received most of the work at running back in Week 9 and probably will continue to see most of the snaps. Mason should be at least a flex option most weeks.

|Rams | St. Louis to stick with one RB?
Sat, 01 Nov 2014 12:30:50 -0700
St. Louis Rams RBs Zac Stacy, Benny Cunningham and Tre Mason have split repetitions in the Rams' backfield this year, but head coach Jeff Fisher hinted that the team could stick with one guy going forward, though he didn't indicate who that would be.
Fantasy Tip: Mason has performed the best on the ground so far this year while Cunningham has done well in the passing game. Stacy has seen a relegated role of late, so he may end up being the odd man out. For now, it's best to avoid all of them.

|Rams | Rams split RB snaps evenly in Week 8
Mon, 27 Oct 2014 13:10:29 -0700
St. Louis Rams RBs Tre Mason and Benny Cunningham each were on the field for 18 snaps in Week 8. RB Zac Stacy received 15 snaps during the game.
Fantasy Tip: None of the running backs had big offensive games in Week 8, so they all probably will continue to receive some playing time moving forward. Mason is still probably the most valuable running back in terms of fantasy but should be a matchup play.

|Rams | Zac Stacy could remain a factor
Fri, 24 Oct 2014 07:53:02 -0700
St. Louis Rams RB Zac Stacy, who didn't have a touch in Week 7, could remain a factor in the backfield in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Earlier in the week, head coach Jeff Fisher said Stacy could have 25 carries Sunday, Oct. 26. However, the team is likely to give RB Tre Mason every opportunity to develop the hot hand this weekend.
Fantasy Tip: Stacy ($3,200; 6.4% of your cap) has a tantalizing price tag on FantasyScore if he has a large enough role this weekend. Mason ($4,900; 9.8%) is a higher-priced flex option. Benny Cunningham ($3,600; 7.2%) should also be in the mix. This is likely to be a weekly question mark for the foreseeable future.

|Rams | Tre Mason could be top RB option
Wed, 22 Oct 2014 12:08:10 -0700
St. Louis Rams RB Tre Mason could be the top candidate for a majority of carries since he is averaging 5.4 yards per carry. Mason rushed for 85 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries in Week 7 and received most of the carries because he had the hot hand, according to head coach Jeff Fisher. RB Zac Stacy was announced the starter for Week 7 but only played one snap. RB Benny Cunningham only rushed for three yards during the game. Stacy is averaging 3.93 yards per carry this season, while Cunningham is averaging 3.78 yards per carry.
Fantasy Tip: It appears like Mason probably will receive most of the work at running back for the time being. Mason costs $4,900 on FantasyScore and could be a nice flex option for owners.

Insert the probe into the soil, push the button and it gives a go / no go signal whether the soil is damp enough or not.
Step 1: Parts
IC1: 4001 CMOS 2 input quad NOR gate (14 pins)
D1: Red LED
D2: Green LED
R1: 22 K resistor
R2, R3: 200 ohm resistor
R4: 100 ohm resistor
R5: 200 K trimmer resistor
One 14 pin IC socket
Misc: copper or copper clad probe, 9v battery connector, 6 lengths of insulated wire, and a pc board, box (I used an empty SwingLine staple box).
NOTE: IF you use a section of copper for the probe rather then a copper CLAD board, you will need 2 of them, and a bit of insulation attached in between the two pieces.
Step 2: Assembly
One caution: When inserting the IC into the socket, care must be taken not to bend any of the pins or misalign them. It is easy to put a 555 into a socket, since there are only 4 pins to a side, but with a 14 pin IC, there are 7 on each side and it can be a little more tricky.
Step 3: Completion
In this case, I am able to house the 9 v battery on the inside.
. Since this is in Home, then yes. You don't need a lot of detail. A few links to pages that will help the user determine the proper moisture. Point out that repeatable insertion depth is important. Will need to be re-calibrated as probe corrodes.
The last 3 days I have been a bit ill; not feeling real badly, but contagious nonetheless; so I have been confined to my quarters and well, that made for some MAKE time :-)

Part of the popular attraction of Sweden's Ghost B.C. is their anonymity — and the masks, make-up, and costumes with which the members conceal their features. Fans and music writers have speculated about who the Nameless Ghouls and the band's frontman really are, but no names have ever been officially revealed. Last September, the current frontman — Papa Emeritus II — appeared without make-up in a mini-documentary about the band. In the clip, he spoke Italian, and, having revealed his face, it became clear that he had also appeared in Ghost's official video for "Year Zero". But he didn't sing, and there was still some lingering doubt about whether we were seeing the real deal. Any doubts have now been erased. Or have they?
During their recent Australian tour, Ghost stopped by the studio of Music Feeds and played three songs live: "Ritual", "Year Zero", and their cover of Roky Erickson's "If You Have Ghosts" (from their 2013 covers EP). Videos of the three song performances surfaced on YouTube yesterday, and Papa Emeritus II appears without make-up — and yes, it's the same dude who is interviewed in that mini-documentary.
I still don't know who the guy is, and his position in the band appears to have a shelf life — one day, there will be a Papa Emeritus III. But the dude can sing, and for all Ghost fans, the following videos will be fun to hear and see. I've collected them after the jump, followed by that documentary clip. (via Blabbermouth).
But… it appears that even Papa's face without the skull make-up is still… a mask. See for yourself. Clever Ghost trolling.
Welcome to Part 17 our list of the year's most infectious extreme metal songs. For more details about what this list is all about and how it was compiled, read the introductory post via this link. To see the selections that preceded the two I'm announcing today, click here.
I've called this the "Exception to the Rule" edition of this list, because both songs today involve clean singing. At least measured by how often I've heard them, they are also two of my favorite songs of the year. Some newcomers who aren't aware that we make exceptions may be disappointed. But it would be hypocritical of me to ignore these songs.
One One One is a very different album from this band's startling last release, Blackjazz — more stripped-down, more hook-focused, more "approachable". As DGR put it in his review for us:
"Whereas the last disc was what four guys who are incredibly accomplished on their chosen instruments could do with absolutely no one stopping them or telling them to tone it down a bit, One One One sounds like what happens when the group chooses to exercise a bit of self-restraint — to see if they can still produce that same effect with a more minimalistic sound…. A lot of One One One brings to mind the old axiom that just because you have the ability to do something, doesn't mean that you should. Everything feels strategically placed so that the band get the maximum impact for a more minimalist amount of showmanship, and it works. Really, really well."
To the sound of the monstrance clock
Air is cleansed, assembled flock
Black candles burn all night tonight
As the parish sighs in smoke
Enters lady revealed of cloak
To the haunting sound of the monstrance clock
Come together, together as a one
Come together for Lucifer's son
The music of "Monstrance Clock" sounds so sweet, but really, it isn't. It isn't my favorite track on Ghost's latest album Infestissumam – that would have to be "Year Zero" — but it's my second favorite, and so I'm quite happy to report that Ghost have released a new video for it. Directed by Rob Semmer, it sets the magnetic music to scenes of the band's performances at the El Rey in Los Angeles and Webster Hall in New York City. Watch it next…
Two and a half years ago I wrote a post about "Banjo Metal" that continues to be visited and still leads to the occasional e-mail contact from people interested in the subject (Google "banjo metal" and see what comes up first). That post focused on metal bands who have used the banjo in some of their songs (plus an obligatory item on the magnificent Béla Fleck). Today brought us news of a different type of banjo metal — a banjo cover of a metal song.
Okay, some of you might quarrel with applying the term "metal" to Sweden's Ghost. Hell, I've quarreled with myself about that. But hey, they do sing about Satan!
The cover is of Ghost's best-known song, "Ritual", and it's performed on video by Erling Bronsberg, a skilled banjo player who e-mailed me about the cover last night. He's based in Örebro, Sweden, and performs with a group called the Black River String Band. He uses "standard sawmill tuning" for this song, which probably means something to banjo players but to me simply sounds cool. His cover is cool, too. He puts a bluegrass spin on the melody without completely losing the song's familiarity, and the picking is tasty. Check it out:
My NCS comrades and I were busy little beavers over the weekend (scabby, rabid ones, of course), making headway on new reviews. But I also heard a lot of new individual songs that grabbed me, so I'll be dropping those morsels into round-up posts today in between a slew of album reviews — starting with this one.
When Ghost B.C. released their new album, Infestissumam, in Japan, they included a bonus track. It's a cover of "Waiting For the Night" by Depeche Mode, from their 1990 album Violator. Late last week Ghost released the song to YouTube for those of us who like the band but can't get our paws on the Japanese version of the album. The original song doesn't mention Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Satanas, or Lucifer, but it does include some other Ghost-ly lyrics: "I'm waiting for the night to fall / I know that it will save us all / When everything's dark…"
Even though there's not any typically overt Satan worship in the words, Ghost do put their own spooky stamp (and some beefy low-end riffs) on the music. Cool song (and an exception to our Rule, of course). Check it next.
When I intend to listen to an album with the thought of reviewing it, I usually avoid reading other reviews. I want to form my own impressions based solely on the music and pick my own words to describe it; this may explain why my reviews leave so much to be desired. However, I read several reviews of Ghost's new album Infestissumam before hearing it, because I wasn't thinking about reviewing it for this site. After all, the music is barely metal, if it's metal at all. Also, it has actual singing in it.
The reviews I read weren't in mainstream publications or on mainstream sites, though Infestissimum has been reviewed in plenty of those places. I was reading reviews on metal blogs. I couldn't help but notice that even most of the positive reviews had a defensive or apologetic tone, a kind of "they're good for what they do, as long as you're not expecting X, Y, or Z". And the negative reviews panned the album for not having enough X, Y, or Z — whatever the reviewer was demanding but couldn't find in the music, such as heaviness or gripping riffs.
Some of the negative reviews came from people who seemed to really like Ghost's first album, Opus Eponymous. This later puzzled me after I listened to Infestissimum, because it's not like the band made some kind of radical course change without putting on the turn signal. I don't think it's different enough from the first album to turn praise into a pan.
I began to have a sneaking suspicion that Ghost had become the victim of a combination of two things that don't go over very well here in the underground: success and gimmickry.
On this lazy Saturday morning, I found these items of interest while surfing the waves of our metallic ocean.
I'm still having trouble typing "Ghost B.C." instead of "Ghost". And as if legal problems with their original name weren't enough bullshit to endure, this Swedish band seem to have encountered fresh new bullshit in getting the CDs produced for their new album, Infestissumam.
According to Spin.com, release of the album has been delayed from April 9 to April 16 because four different U.S. compact disc manufacturers have refused to print a piece of artwork (shown above) that was destined for the deluxe version of the album. More from Spin.com:
"We kept on getting turned down because of the CD art, which is basically a 16th century illustration of an orgy," a source close to the band told SPIN. The NSFW illustration, inspired by the work of Gustave Dore, showcases what looks like a forest nymph orgy, but it's the religious iconography at the top that convinced manufacturers to turn off the printing press.
The Nameless Ghouls in Sweden's Ghost B.C. have jealously guarded their true identities, which makes it so surprising that without much fanfare they've now revealed them for all the world to see.
Earlier this month the band released a track named "Year Zero" from their forthcoming second album Infestissumam (Latin for "hostile"), which is due for release on April 9. Today they premiered an official video for the same song. Apart from cryptic images of children, the main action consists of a group of women of different ages assembling for a visit by their lord and master and a light repast of raw steak, grapes, and goblets of wine.
All of this proves to be simply spiritual and material nourishment in preparation for donning the costumery of Ghost B.C. and finishing off the track in the garb to which we Ghost fans have become accustomed.
So there you have it. Secrets revealed. And that's not all that's revealed: we get to see the band members buck nekkid when they change clothes. Which means this video is NSFW.
The purpose of this post is to provide info about two tours announced today. The first is Haze Over North America, headlined by the mysterious Swedes in Ghost, with support from a west coast trio known as Ides of Gemini. The month-long run will commence on April 18 in Denver and continue through May 18 in Pittsburgh.
I know all I need to know about Ghost. Though not an immediate fan, I grew to become one on the strength of two live shows I saw in Seattle. Yessir, I will definitely line up to see these guys again. I'm less sure about Ides of Gemini. They released a well-reviewed album of "ethereal doom" last year named Constantinople. I'm going to stream a Scion A/V-sponsored video after the jump and come back and watch it a bit later.
The second tour is certainly more clearly in my own personal wheelhouse. It's a spring U.S. tour by Virginia's Inter Arma (whose new album was the subject of an NCS feature just this past weekend) and NY-based Mutilation Rites — and I dig them, too..
I'm very happy to report that both tours will stop in Seattle. I know you were extremely curious about that since it's an issue that directly affects my own happiness. Both schedules are after the jump . . . along with that video from the Constantinople album.
From me to you, new things discovered today . . .
I became an acolyte of Ghost after witnessing their live ritual twice in the last year. The music was already growing on me before those shows, but they sealed the deal.
Now we have a new Ghost song and a new live video performance of the song to go with it. Ghost began rolling out the song on-line, one recording track after another, and now the entire song is available for listening — and it's also a free download.
"Secular Haze" has the rhythm of a waltz and fancifully begins and ends with the sound of a calliope. Like so many of the band's songs, it's poppy and catchy, and yet moments of ominous tension find their way into the melody. The song didn't grab me as fast as some of the tracks on Opus Eponymous, but by the third listen I was hooked.
To hear the song and get it for free, go to this location and enter your e-mail address. You'll then receive a download link by e-mail. To watch the new video, continue on past the jump.

Today is December 18th. I moved back to New...
I moved back to New York a week ago after 4 years of grad school and bond trading in Philadelphia. I'm absolutely ecstatic to be back. I love to write, but I'll try to keep this short and interesting. I guess we should start with the basics. I think you are fantastic if: -You have a secret or not so secret nerdy side. -You have a very fat man inside of your mind and you love food. -You love to dance (but please understand you will fail if you try to dance battle me because I run this). -You like wearing sweat pants. I think women look beautiful in sweatpants and I'm not just saying that in a Ryan Gosling "hey girl" kind of way. -You're unique and can find the beauty in simple things. -You are up for adventures. REALLY up for adventures. Like next week lets go to Australia. -You are cool with crushing spiders in the room…ok fine I'll do it. -You are honest and if something bothers you, you speak your mind. -You are little in height or weight or both. I know, I hate that that's my type but it is. Sorry bigger girls, you're beautiful too but not my type. Please never talk to me ever if: -You leave that one little shred of toilet paper on the roll so it counts as not having to replace it. -You say Yolo or ever intend to call me bae. -You enjoy raging at the Joshua Tree or Tonic on Fri nights. -You make duck faces in selfie pictures (skinny arm poses are acceptable but discouraged). -You don't know the difference between You, You're, and Your…They're, There, and Their as well. -Your profile only says "down to earth" and "chill" and "live, laugh, love" and "love to laugh." Everybody says that, come on. -You don't feel comfortable being weird around people. Being weird is awesome. -Your first question to me is "how much do you make?" You are my least favorite type of person. Here's a bit about me: Intellectual curiosity, sense of humor, and family are incredibly important to me. My sister is my best friend. I started playing guitar when I was five years old and I've learned 8 instruments since. I've recorded a few CDs and I've been in more bands than I can count. Yes, I sing too, but if you ask me to play you a cheesy song I will play you a Nickelback song and nobody wants that. I worked in finance for a while and became enticed by money…it lead me down the wrong path so I quit and now I'm working in tech following my heart instead of my wallet. I spend money on food, gifts for other people, and travel…I'm not a big "things" or status guy. I work out 3-4 times a week, I play sports, I'm good with power tools, I have chest hair, I play poker, and I like to do generally manly things. I'm also emotionally in-tune and sensitive and my friends make fun of me all the time for it. I have had an amazing life and I'm looking forward to continuing that trend with someone I care about tremendously. You're still reading? Nice! Now for the fun part. Why am I on Match? Well, my grandparents were an inspiration to me. They were madly in love with each other for 50 years and that's what I'm looking for. I know that relationships take work and time and nothing is perfect, but I'm looking for absolute, knock your socks off, butterflies love. I have been in a few relationships and learned a lot from them so I know exactly what I'm looking for. I'm looking for someone that's "different" and so happy to be different from everyone else. I'm ready to settle down, not looking to hook up. Fancy hearing that from a dude who actually means it. I'm a naturally outgoing person so I'll probably continue to check out the bar scene, but it tends to attract the wrong people so Match seems like an intriguing supplement. Shoot me a message some time, I'll try to be proactive but it's always nice to see you make the first move. Thank you for reading, hope you all find what you're looking for!

He received a sentence and probation, with Spears now representing him. A month later, in January 2007, he was found guilty of third-degree assault after the cigarette incident with Williams, and he went to jail for the 90 days that Horan originally had negotiated.
Released in April, he resumed his tumultuous relationship with Williams, over the objections of her mother.
Three days before his October arrest, Chapdelaine was ordered into a domestic violence program for repeat offenders. The class, described as a program with a "good track record for changing behavior," had been recommended by his probation officer, who counseled him twice a month.
Asked why Chapdelaine's latest arrest did not immediately trigger a violation of his probation, state officials say Chapdelaine's probation officer was awaiting paperwork from the Newington Police Department. Newington police say they never received a request for the arrest report.
Gary Roberge, the assistant director of Adult Services who supervises the state's probation officers, said that Chapdelaine's probation officer "acted appropriately" in handling Chapdelaine's case. "He used his own judgment that he would seek a violation. He was in the process of preparing the warrant.
It was not submitted to the court. He was waiting for the police report."
The spokeswoman for the Newington Police Department said that, had the probation officer contacted the department, he would have been faxed a copy.
No one knows what set Chapdelaine off the night of Nov. 5.
But the path he took into his neighbor's home was still evident a week later, even as Coley's husband and daughters prepared for her funeral.
There were shards of glass, bullet holes and puddles of blood lying beneath plywood and plastic bags in the living and dining rooms.
When Lorna Coley returned home from her job as a nurse's aide about 8:30 p.m., she saw Chapdelaine standing outside her home, pointing a gun at her daughter's bedroom window. She called police. For the next few hours, Hartford police say, they were unable to find Chapdelaine. Coley and Williams could not be persuaded to go to a shelter.
The police left. About midnight, Chapdelaine returned. He climbed the dozen or so stairs onto the second-floor deck, before firing the rusty .357 revolver into the sliding glass door of the two-family Cape.
He aimed the gun at Williams and it misfired, police said.
Then he fired again, shooting Coley, who was near a chaise lounge in the living room, in the head.
Leaving the home on foot, Chapdelaine crossed into Wethersfield, where a convenience store clerk on the Silas Deane Highway saw blood on his hands and face and called police.
Confronted by police near the Food Bag grocery - where he had been arrested in 2005 after picking up his daughter for an outing - Chapdelaine walked back and forth across the roadway. "It was strange," said Police Chief James Cetran, who knew Chapdelaine from the days when he washed police cars at the Mr. Auto Wash.Chapdelaine fired the gun twice, striking no one, police said. Two SWAT team officers fired back. Chapdelaine died a short time later.
"Something in him must have snapped," Carl said. "He always called me when things weren't going right. I want answers. Can't someone sit me down and tell me what happened? I don't even blame the police department. They did what they had to do. I'm sorry [Williams] lost her mother. It's painful for all of us."
Coley's husband, Donald Brown, said in a brief interview the day before his wife's funeral that she did not want Chapdelaine to continue seeing her daughter. She didn't "deserve to be killed," he said.

When an artist chooses to work representationally, he or she
inevitably has to take a stance on the use of photographs and the artistic
merits of photorealism. Whether perusing a workshop catalog or engaged in a
debate with fellow colleagues, the question of "what's real?" will never be
definitively answered.
I guess what I want to add to the never-ending discussion of
"what is real?" is this: For someone who simply enjoys the act of putting brush
to canvas, pastel to paper, or thoughtfully mixing color, perhaps it is the
process that is the most real, the most lifelike, and the most important.
What do you think? Leave a comment and let me know!
Naomi Ekperigin is an associate editor of American Artist magazine.
When you listen to an acoustic guitar player you sometimes hear the sound of the fingers running across the strings which is, like the drips and blooms, just the nature of the beast. It may not be a part of the music as written but it is part of the ambiance created, it's still art. Sometimes you may get a player with a cleaner sound and hear only the music rendered based on the musician's interpretation, enhanced or limited by their skill level. You have artistry either way. Some artists prefer more control others less. It's still art.
Technique and the concept or intention are integral to the work. If someone chooses to copy a photo (that they took) or a still life exactly, what is the intention of the artist? What are they expressing or saying to the audience? They may have shown mastery at understanding color, value, proportion, but where are the visible marks that reveal the artist? Where is the design? mood? or element that separates them from being a flesh and blood photocopier?
I used to do this; it was easier to create because I simply needed to draw or paint exactly what I saw. I didn't need to make any decision of what to leave out, what to exaggerate, which edge to lose or which to make hard. Photorealism is a technical pursuit in which design is not always needed.
There are photorealists with exceptional work. They have planned out and designed their composition, expressed a mood, and created a concept. (see Daniel Sprick) To those individuals, they have transcended their skill into an art.
With this being said what about the sloshy realist paintings that have poor value or overworked areas compensated by good use of color or interesting patterns. We just call them bad art or like them because of "the energy." Somehow form, proportion, and value has escaped these artists. They are at the other end of the spectrum away from photorealists. Yet, photorealists get picked on. It's as if we know they have the skill, but question their aesthetic judgement and subject matter.
I think the process is the most important to the artist in my own experience. I'm currently going through an experimental phase with medium and technique because my work trends to be detailed and realistic (but not in the league of photo realism) and I was getting to the point where halfway through a piece I just wanted to be finished and wasn't enjoying the process because it was taking so long to create the tiniest detail. Now I'm experimenting with more expressionistic art using impasto in acrylics. I'm really enjoying the process with palette knives and a freer style-the finished result is so very subjective anyway whereby some will think it amazing and some will think it rubbish that surely the most important thing is that the artist is enjoying creating the art?

An Alabama man named Evant Brooks purchased some of land from Langford in the late 1870s. In 1881, Brooks had donated sixty acres of land "for sale and settlement as a town", and by 1884 the growing community changed its name to Evant in Brooks' honor. In the 1890s, the community had a cotton gin, three general stores, a gristmill, and a hotel. Its population was around 10 residents.
Evant continued to grow, reporting a peak population of 550 sometime in the 1950s. The town was formally incorporated in the mid-1970s. Its population at the time was 540 and has continued to shrink. According to the 1990 census, the town's population was 444, and as of 2005, the census estimates the population at 388.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.6 square miles (1.6 km²), all of it land.
There were 159 households out of which 33.3% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 49.7% were married couples living together, 11.3% had a female householder with no husband present, and 36.5% were non-families. 34.0% of all households were made up of individuals and 20.8% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.47 and the average family size was 3.25.
In the town the population was spread out with 31.6% under the age of 18, 4.6% from 18 to 24, 27.2% from 25 to 44, 17.3% from 45 to 64, and 19.3% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 36 years. For every 100 females there were 95.5 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 83.0 males.
The median income for a household in the town was $22,500, and the median income for a family was $30,227. Males had a median income of $23,333 versus $21,250 for females. The per capita income for the town was $12,589. About 14.7% of families and 25.4% of the population were below the poverty line, including 35.7% of those under age 18 and 11.8% of those age 65 or over.
