text: Fireflight is a Christian Rock band that has a very similar sound as Paramore, but are just a bit heavier. Fireflight was signed to Flicker Records in 2006 and formed in Orlando, Florida. The lead vocalist is a female, as well as Paramore, whose name is Dawn Richardson. They aren't very well known, but their sound is very in sync and creative. Some of their most popular songs include: Unbreakable, For Those Who Wait, Stay Close, and Stand Up, which happens to be my favorite song by them. In Stand Up, the main message is that many of us are broken for some reason or another, so you aren't alone in your fight to picking up the pieces. I think it's a great song and an inspiring message because everyone is broken or hurt sometimes, so you definitely are not alone. Overall, they are a great band so you should definitely listen!

WHO says swine flu alert closer to pandemicWHO flu chief Keiji Fukuda said the disease has reached 64 countries and infected 18,965 people, causing 117 deaths. WHO is now debating whether to add a second measure that indicates how dangerous the virus is — rather than just how widespread — after several countries raised concerns that declaring a global pandemic could cause mass confusion and panic even though it is still unclear how dangerous the virus will be.

The Phi Theta Kappa Honors Program
The Honors Program fulfills multiple dimensions of Phi Theta Kappa's purpose. It is designed to:
- foster a stimulating environment for intellectual growth and challenge.
- create opportunities for leadership and learning as leaders through service and advocacy.
For the first purpose of our mission — fostering a stimulating intellectual environment — the Honors Program foundation and focus is the Honors Study Topic. The biennial topic is an interdisciplinary, contemporary topic of interest related to global challenges. Members explore the topic with the multitude of perspectives that their personal experiences and academic studies provide.
For the second purpose of our mission — creating opportunities for leadership and action — the Honors Program provides guidance through a process called Honors in Action for taking action based upon new knowledge related to the themes of the Honors Study Topic.
Honors Study Topic
The Honors Study Topic changes every two years so that it will always be a timely and relevant subject of importance to the human experience in a global context. The current Honors Program Guide details the 2014/2015 Honors Study Topic, Frontiers and the Spirit of Exploration.
When developing the biennial topic, members of the Honors Program Council consider eight criteria. The topic must be:
- Interdisciplinary
- International in scope
- Intellectual
- Important
- In-the-News
- Interesting
- Theme-Oriented
- Action-Oriented
The Honors Study Topic affords members opportunities to consider complex, real-world issues and further research into them to build the analytic and collaborative problem-solving skills necessary and valued in advanced academic pursuits, workplaces and communities.
Honors in Action
Honors in Action is the process that provides opportunities to apply learning and practice to real-world problem-solving by developing an in-depth, action-oriented project related to Honors Study Topic research. Academic research into the themes related to the Honors Study Topic is what makes the difference between Honors in Action and simply action. Honors in Action is informed action designed to make a lasting impact and contribute to the betterment of society. Through engaging in Honors in Action, students develop and demonstrate:
- awareness of the importance of seeking out multiple perspectives augment understanding and improve decision-making.
- abilities to draw research conclusions and develop ideas to make a difference.
- effective planning and capabilities to initiate action.
- intentional and purposeful efforts to grow leadership skills.
- understanding of the need to involve others and work together
- capacities to lead and manage self and others to motivate, overcome obstacles, perform in complicated environments and accomplish goals.
- aptitudes for assessing progress, adjusting to circumstances and measuring results quantitatively and qualitatively.
The Honors in Action Planning Model is an online worksheet that will guide you through the planning process for a successful project. This can also be the foundation for your Honors in Action Journal as you record important details to be used later in the Honors in Action Project Award Entry.
Download the Honors in Action Planning Model
Tip: When writing about your project's impact, don't forget to include measurable and immeasurable results. Immeasurable results can include quotes from participants discussing what they learned or gained from the experience, publicity received for the project/event, or the individual growth of the project's leaders.

Is there parking at The Red Room@ Cafe 939?
Sadly, no. Since The Red Room @ Cafe 939 is located on one of Boston's busiest streets, finding parking can be difficult. The good news is there are several parking garages nearby. If you are driving into the city for a show we strongly suggest that you plan ahead by looking up the Red Sox schedule. Fenway Park is right around the corner from us and street parking is very difficult on game days. An easy solution is to take the train or commuter rail into the city. Whatever you decide, do yourself a favor and plan ahead.

To their credit, the Revolutionary Democrats have been hard at work and building the nation's physical infrastructure. From road to telecom infrastructure; and from dams used for electric generation or irrigation to housing, they seem to have achieved a considerably impressive record over the past two decades.
Their housing program in particular - designed to serve multiple purposes all at the same time - has not only changed the urban interface in Addis Abeba and major towns across the country. The introduction of life in condominiums has transformed urban lifestyle in more ways than their critics are prepared to acknowledge.
Initially intended to primarily benefit those in the low income bracket through accommodations, the unintended outcome of transfers of condos to middle income groups through either rent or sale has ended up being a de facto instrument of wealth redistribution. Perhaps pleased with what they have accomplished so far, they seem to be determined to continue building state financed housing projects, but with a mix of condos to low and middle income groups.
So the 60/40 ratio idea was born, where prospective home owners pay 40pc of the cost of flats they would own while the balance comes from bank financing. Interestingly, this time around, the condos are designed to respond to the needs of an otherwise neglected group in the income hierarchy: the emerging middle class. Up until last year, this was a project on the drawing board, with technocrats figuring out the finance modality and eligibility criterion, gossip disclosed.
With so much public anticipation and half the preparation by the state functionaries, the launching of the program was announced earlier this Ethiopian fiscal year. Gossip recalls a bit of a feud among federal authorities on the responsibilities of identifying and registering prospective buyers.
Nonetheless, the dust on this front appears to have settled now.
Yet, another concern of a serious nature has emerged over the past few weeks, gossip disclosed. Despite the promise the Addis Abeba City Administration has made and several thousands of people lined up in kebele bureaus to get issued clearance for possible registration, the trouble is city authorities have yet to identify the plots where these condos are to be built, gossip disclosed.
A high level meeting called two weeks ago to find a solution to such a snag was held among intra agency heads, including those from city administration and the Ministry of Urban Development & Construction (MoUDC) as well as the Ministry of Defence and Federal Police. The latter two are believed to have vast tracts of plots in the capital. But none of their leaders budged to demands from the first two to surrender their holds, claims gossip. They rather argued that they too have construction needs for their forces, including for instance a Quadragon shaped headquarters for the Ministry of Defence now under construction in theOldAirportarea, gossip disclosed.
Other federal entities with vast hold of plots in the capital are state owned enterprises under the supervision of the federal agency run by Beyene G. Meskle. It was this agency that had made plots available for low cost condos during the reign of Arkebe Oqubay, predecessor to the current mayor, Kuma Demeksa.
Kuma and Mekuria Haile, minister of MoUDC, are now eyeing a large tract of land near Megenagna area which Beyene's agency uses to process food for university students, gossip disclosed. They want him to give up this land for the construction of condos for the middle income group in the 60/40 formula within the shortest time possible, claims gossip. Some suggested within a period as short as 20 days, claims gossip.
It is not that Beyene is resistant to this proposition, claims gossip. But he wants the federal government to find an alternative supply line of food to campus students who would otherwise end up in a whole lot of trouble, gossip claims.
However, no one seems to have figured that out yet, according to gossip.

Washington, D.C. Weather Forecast: A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That
A gloomy start to the day, but expect some sunny breaks this afternoon.
- This Afternoon:
- Partly Sunny
- Highs: Mid 60s
- Rain: 20%
- Tonight:
- Mostly Cloudy, Fog Developing Late
- Lows: Low to Mid 40s
- Wind: Light
- Thursday:
- Partly Sunny, Breezy and Warm
- Highs: Low 70s
- Wind: SW 10
We woke up to cloudy and misty conditions in D.C. and even a few moderate showers across the region. But, this afternoon will be drier with some breaks in the clouds. Here's a look at the overcast sky in D.C.
- WJLA Roof Cam at 10:15 this Morning
and here's a look at The Congressional Country Club in Bethesda.
- Congressional Country Club in Bethesda (WeatherBug)
Both images were captured around 10:15 this morning, so just a few miles makes a difference at this time. More of us will see sun this afternoon. A warm front will be lifting to the north and temperatures will reach the lower 70s for most of us Thursday and Friday both. However, chances of rain will return late on Thursday. I still think Trick-or-Treat looks good at sunset and should hold for a few hours. The threat of rain increases progressively towards midnight. Right now our futurecast brings the rain in at 10 p.m. We will fine tune the forecast throughout the day and Thursday to keep you up to date on the timing of the rain. There will be rumbles of thunder with gusty winds possible overnight Thursday and Friday morning. By Friday afternoon, it looks like we will dry out and clear out.

"A man shall not lay with a man!" — "God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!" — "Sodom and Gomorrah!" — We've all heard one or all of these statements before, but what does the Bible actually say about homosexuality… and what doesn't it say? How do we respond to these myths? This talk examines sexuality and same-sex identities within the context of biblical passages and religion. Interactively this talk explores and breaks down the myths, rumors, and hidden meanings behind scriptures and passages often linked to homosexuality, and introduces alternative ways of thinking about sex, sin, and the Bible.

CANNES, France -- This city's celebrated film festival is usually like a hibernating bear, slow getting started and difficult to rouse from a season's protracted slumber. This year has been different.
The gala opening night film, for instance, often has little more than French origins or major names to recommend it: Consider that Sharon Stone and Isabelle Adjani's "Diabolique" was a serious contender this time around. Then saner heads selected Patrice Leconte's "Ridicule," which turned out to be an unusually intelligent, accomplished and bracing costume epic set in the court of Louis XVI, a pitiless world in which "vices are without consequence, but ridicule kills."


text: The Grayson County Sheriff and Wax Fire Departments, along with EMS, responded to a single-vehicle accident on Highway 889 and Ranchero Road on Wednesday morning about 2:55. A red Pontiac G6 being driven by 19-year old Grant Akridge was traveling north on Hwy 889 when Akridge lost control of the car in a curve, left the roadway, missing a utility pole by mere inches before crashing head-on into a tree. The impact was so severe that the northbound Pontiac was spun into a southerly facing direction. A witness who drove by the accident, presumably only minutes after impact, spotted Akridge walking on Hwy 889 near the scene, but when first responders arrived Akridge was unable to be located. Grayson County Sheriff's Deputy Joey Beasley drove to Akridge's home in an attempt to find him, but was told by Akridge's mother that he was not there. It was later determined that Adridge walked to a friend's house after the accident. Deputy Beasley told K105 that he anticipates charging Akridge with leaving the scene of an accident.

Local heat flux measurements on the surface of a thick porous copper plate burner were corrected with a pure convective burning assumption and stagnant layer solution. Calibration procedures for thermopile-type heat flux gauge was developed and compared with NIST BFRL heat flux gauge calibration system. Calibration of gauges has found to be possible without controlling the temperature. The absorptivity and emissivity of the coating used on the burner and heat flux gauges were measured via calibrated heat flux gauges and copper slug calorimeter. Independently, an apparatus was designed, built, and calibrated to measure burner flame radiant fraction. The heat flux distribution at the burner was measured. Sample measurements were taken to show accurate measurements and potential analysis of the collected burner data is examined. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z <italic>In Situ</italic> Burning Alternatives http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16178 Title: <italic>In Situ</italic> Burning Alternatives Authors: Cohen, Brian Abstract: <italic>In situ</italic> burns have been used to remove oil spills for decades. They are relatively easy and inexpensive to administer, and are one of the only methods that is effective for crude oil spill remediation over a body of water. There are, however, environmental implications stemming from burning large quantities of crude oil, which has brought about the need for alternative removal techniques. Skimming and chemical dispersant procedures are frequently employed but have severe limitations and environmental drawbacks. Several new methods have been developed that use elements of nature such as cotton and peat moss, but these are only effective when implemented close to the shoreline. For spills that occur in the middle of the ocean, these processes are rendered useless, and as such, require the implementation of <italic>in situ</italic> burning. This study assesses a way in which <italic>in situ</italic> burning can be improved in order to minimize the environmental damage that can occur with crude oil removal. Through the research conducted in this thesis, it is proposed that the application of a fire whirl may mitigate the damage while also improving the removal rate of a crude oil spill located on a body of water. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z HOT SURFACE IGNITION OF R-32 AND R-410A REFRIGERANT MIXTURES WITH LUBRICATING OIL http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16146 Title: HOT SURFACE IGNITION OF R-32 AND R-410A REFRIGERANT MIXTURES WITH LUBRICATING OIL Authors: Boussouf, Adam Abstract: This study examines the flammability of refrigerant and oil mixtures. The flammability risk associated with refrigerants is an important property to consider prior to their use in residential and commercial HVAC systems. This research was conducted to compare the ignition characteristics of R-32 with R-410A, and the effects of lubricating oil. Unpiloted hot-plate ignition tests were carried out to determine ignition temperatures and quantify the flammability risks associated with these refrigerants. Additionally, computational fluid dynamic (CFD) methods were used to model the vapor temperatures and concentrations of an R-32 jet impinging on a hot-surface. The laboratory results indicate that R-32 will ignite upon contact with a 764oC surface. This is higher than the reported 648oC autoignition temperature of R-32. R-410A was found to ignite upon contact with a 790oC surface. Results with mixtures of refrigerant and polyolester (POE) oil were found to ignite at temperatures close to that of oil alone, 645oC. CFD predictions show that ignition is likely to occur along the edges of the apparatus, where the fuel vapor concentrations and temperatures are within the limits of combustion. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Response of a Thermoacoustic Flashover Detector to Thermal Radiation http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16142 Title: Response of a Thermoacoustic Flashover Detector to Thermal Radiation Authors: Jeffrey, Zachary Tran Abstract: The thermoacoustic flashover detector is a device designed to be mounted on the helmet of a firefighter which creates a loud whistle when exposed to conditions that are consistent with flashover in order to provide firefighters with a warning and time to escape. The detector is based off a previous device designed at the University of Maryland which was operated using an electric band heater. This device was optimized by slightly altering the stack design and by the addition of approximately 0.3 mL of water to the stack, yielding an activation temperature of 125°C. Once the activation temperature was sufficiently lowered, the device was outfitted with copper fins which were designed to collect radiant heat from a propane-burning radiant panel and transfer it to the detector. When using four of these copper fins and exposed to a radiant heat flux of approximately 25 kW/m2, the detector activated around 125°C after 7 minutes. This was the first known activation of a thermoacoustic device to unconcentrated thermal radiation. The response time of the device was lowered after two more fins were added to the design. Once the detector was shown to work using radiant heat, it was tested at the Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute (MFRI) at the University of Maryland using full scale fires in order to replicate the conditions in which it would be expected to operate. While the detector did not activate during the full scale tests, the radiant panel tests proved that the design is feasible and that some slight design changes are needed in order for the detector to operate in a real fire environment. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z

Cross posted from Art Works, the official blog of the National Endowment for the Arts
Knight Foundation and National Endowment for the Arts are seeking ideas from individuals and organizations for the development of new, sustainable models for arts journalism. Applications for the Community Arts Journalism Challenge must be received by midnight Thursday, Aug 18 – apply now
By Maura Judkis, Producer, Style, Washington Post
In the last hour on Twitter, I've read that artist William Powhida's New York show is a dud, and that Hugo Weaving's performance as the Red Skull is a high point in Captain America. These weren't opinions from published critics; rather, they were from regular Twitter users with an enthusiasm for art and pop culture. Readers of my generation, the Millennials, are more likely to want to see a movie or play because their friends like it than because a critic does. We're more likely to discover art through our Facebook and Twitter feeds, and to take the suggestions of Netflix and Pandora than to discover new things on our own.
It might seem, then, that Millennials have no appetite for arts journalism, but that's not the case: Younger readers want to read and share stories more than ever. They just want to have a say in what's being read and shared. They want to be the critics. So where do arts journalists fit in?
There is an abundance of opinion on the Internet, but bringing reporting into criticism is what will set the professional arts journalists apart from the amateur. Reporting on process—the behind-the-scenes stories that enable readers to identify with artists—will attract audiences who might otherwise overlook an arts journalist in favor of their best friend's Tumblr. It's something I learned firsthand, both at TBD.com, Washington's newest online news organization, and a 10-day stint at the pop-up newsroom of Engine 28 for the NEA Arts Journalism Institute in Theater and Musical Theater.
TBD.com hired me to write about theater and art, not to be a critic. Between legacy media, blogs, and random Twitter followers longing to share their opinions, we decided that Washington's flourishing arts scene had enough critical voices in the mix. Starting a new site with a new critic would have been shouting into a crowded room. So we eschewed criticism, almost entirely, in favor of film, theater, and music coverage that was reported often with a critical voice.
The journalists of Engine 28 came together from different newsrooms to cover three theater happenings in Los Angeles in June 2011: RADAR LA, the Hollywood Fringe Festival, and the Theatre Communications Group's annual conference. As a temporary newsroom, we could be nimble and experimental, and create the type of journalism that might not have a place in our home publications. We wrote blog posts, recorded podcasts, produced a web show, made video postcards, and used Twitter and Wordle and VYou to tell readers about the festivals. Many of us also wrote traditional reviews and profiles and think pieces. But when we debriefed on the last day of our fellowship, our editor, Doug McLennan of Arts Journal, told us that it was our blog posts and our reported feature stories that brought the most viewers to the site. Our reviews—with the exception of two particularly negative ones—had very few readers at all.
Though I can't speak for other publications, this was the case at TBD as well. By reporting on the art-making process, rather than just passing judgment on the final product, we were able to give readers the behind-the-scenes glimpse more valuable to a Millennial audience than a review. Just as this generation is many things—social, savvy, sub in any web 2.0 catchphrase here—it is a generation that derives more value from the arts when they feel like insiders, or can relate to the participants. Look at the TV we watch: American Idol and Top Chef have hooked audiences by showing them the way the sausage is made (quite literally, for the latter), and allowing them to potentially have a say in the outcome. This is not to equate these shows with higher art forms; it's to demonstrate that our interest in process over product is transferable to other art forms, high and low.
Of course, critics will always have a place in our culture. The process-based reporting I've observed is an addition to, not a replacement for good criticism. We need critics to engage with artists, to shape our dialogue about art, and to provide context—but we also need them to recognize that they must broaden their roles as journalism and audiences change.
Media and art are more engaging for Millennials when we can be a part of that process. Life in a Day, the recently-released movie compiled entirely from YouTube clips, or the Smithsonian Institution's upcoming crowdsourced The Art of Video Gamesshow are two examples. On a smaller scale, sites like Kickstarter and United States Artists allow you to invest in an artist's project for the chance to be a part of the process in return. The artists soliciting funds can invite you to private rehearsals or give you limited-edition prints in exchange for financial support. For me, writing about process meant, for example, interviewing actors about their reaction to prop severed heads in their likeness,getting inside a mysterious photographer's head by posing for her shots, or tracking down a long-lost painting, step-by-step.
Of course, for journalists to be able to cover process, they must be given access—something that not every arts institution may be willing to share. But those that do will be rewarded. This year, I chronicled the entire rehearsal process of Washington D.C.'s Forum Theatre's production of Naomi Wallace's One Flea Spare—which was also open to the theater's subscribers. By attending rehearsals or just reading about the show coming together in "Flea Bites," our series on TBD, readers could forge a deeper connection to the work by understanding the challenges in producing it. Process-focused arts journalism is also artist-centric journalism, and for what it's worth, One Flea Spare didn't get great reviews, but audiences—both of the show and the series—didn't seem to notice. (As for TBD—those who follow media news may recall that the site had endured some very public struggles. It lives on as an arts and entertainment site, an area of coverage cited as its strongest in the restructuring).
Critics' words may be powerful, but their influence wanes—and if they want to maintain an audience with a 140-character attention span, they're going to have to change not only how they communicate with their audience through digital and social media, but what they communicate. It will have to happen in a way that doesn't condescend, too: The Millennial audience was raised to consume media this way, and our habits aren't about to change. That means critics must rethink the idea of what a review, a profile, or a story can be—which could be anything a creative arts journalist can dream up, as long as it's engaging.

Apple removes copy-cat apps from the App Store, doesn't address larger issues
Apple has removed a number of copy-cat apps from the App Store, specifically plagiaristic titles such as Tiny Birds, Temple Jump and Numbers With Friends
created replicated by developer Anton Sinelnikov. Apple has made similar moves against shady developers in the past, taking down 1,000 apps in 2008 after they noticed fake 5-star reviews in the App Store.
However, the problem is greater than just a few scam apps from a few shady developer. Most of us know that these titles copy from the real deal, specifically Tiny Wings, Temple Run and Words With Friends, but new users might have a hard time telling them apart, and get a nasty surprise after they've drop down money only to discover they've been conned into buying a fake app. That creates a bad experience and might make them wary of the App Store in the future.
For legitimate developers, they lose out on the income. It's difficult and expensive enough, especially for independent developers, to get a hit title on the App Store. When and if they finally do have a hit on their hands, they now have to worry about scammers trying to steal their sales, damage their brand, and turn off their customers. Worse yet, according to developer Kode80, scammers rely on the outrage that follows their copy-cat apps to actually gain attention and drive sales.
Should Apple be doing more to prevent copy-cat titles from hitting the App Store in the first place, and should they be making it easier to report when they do? Apple long ago appointed themselves as gate-keepers and curators, but when it comes to copyright issues, they've followed the common practice of waiting for a complaint and then leaving the developers involved to fight it out. Sometimes that works. Sometimes it lets bigger, more established brands bully competitors out of the App Store.
Likewise, Zynga, one of the biggest gaming companies on the planet, has been accused of copying NimbleBit's Tiny Tower with their new game, Dream Heights. Dream Heights doesn't present itself as a copy-cat in the App Store the way Sinelnikov's did, with similar naming and branding intended to cause confusion, but it does duplicate the look, feel, and gameplay of a popular independent game.
Where should the line be drawn, and should Apple be the ones drawing it?

Apple removes copy-cat apps from the App Store, doesn't address larger issues
Apple could screen the Applications better. I also feel that they need to clean up the app store a little. I know of SO many Apps that are crap and not worth even .99. Personally I think if an App receives a rating of 2 stars or lower for a period of time it should be removed from the App Store and pushed to the developer to improve the App to improve the customer experience. Also they need to include a report button. If customers feel that an application is cheating them of money they should have the option report the App to Apple so that it's possible to be seen under review.
A month or so after I published Geom-e-Tree, a very poor knock off appeared in the store. It was free, but had advertising it. I wrote to the developer to say he must have missed the Note to Other Developers embedded in my app, that says we really don't want to see "copycat variants of our basic design". The developer, in china maybe, immediately took his app off sale, but after about a month it showed back up. The developer does not respond to my email, and I have no recourse with Apple
I would not expect Apple to catch something like this on their own, but they sh/could have a process in place. I can imagine it getting very complicated quickly however. And, and unless there are big sales, it's a losing proposition for everyone except the copy-cat... Unless apple warned, then ejected developers who aren't doing original work..
I am really impressed along with your writing abilities as neatly as with the structure to your weblog. Is this a paid subject or did you modify it your self? Either way stay up the excellent high quality writing, it's rare to see a nice blog like this one these days..

Thread: Intimidated
August 16th, 2008 #1
hey guys , my name's chris, this is all stuff I did this week.I live in a small hick-town part of tx, I guess thats why I started drawing, just for something to do, Im 14 years old and am going into highschool in about a week or so. I love this website so much, just the idea of millions of artists in 1 place is phenomenal.
Ive never taken any art classes to a degree of anything more than asking my mom how to draw an acceptable womans face, which I still havent got around to.
Like I said Im not very good at this thing but Im trying to start early and get better.
please tell me what I can do so that I can get to a point where Im not extremely intimidated by 100% of the users on c.a.
Im looking for anything from critique on the drawings to what classes I should take in highschool that will help.
I just want to get a good jumpstart so that I can grow up and do something other than paper-work ina cubicle.
p.s I know that the face thing is wierd, I was just trying to figure out the difference between angry eyes and scared eyes

Good start dude, you got further than me (haven't got the guts to post an SB yet lol)... As for crit, i would say draw draw draw, and then draw some more; its the best thing todo. However, quick points include looking at the skeleton, learning to spend time on your drawings, and at first drawing from reference.
As for high school classes, i don't really know, i take Art; its not for the drawing, more the expressive "get it out of your system" stuff. You can go wild, and as long as you justify it, they'll grade it. I also highly recommend, if you can, life drawing.
Hope to see you around more .
Yea yea, i know, i'm lazy, i'll start a sketchbook later...
August 16th, 2008 #3
Cool start, you've made the first step.. now keep it up ;-) I like the first gesture the most, seems really fluid. welcome aboard ;-)

You're better than I was when I was fourteen....
And you have nothing to worry about, you'll be amazed by how much you'll grow artistically in highschool, just be sure to take the art classes. you may hate them, but you'll get so much out of them if you work through it.

No need to be nervous here, I've seen people in their 20's starting a sketchbook and they were just learning to draw
Well the main thing at your age is to just draw
Since your starting so young I would also say to experiment a little
Check out different materials and such, I remember I used to always draw on normal sized paper until I finally took a drawing class
Now I love drawing large scale drawings too
Good luck
August 18th, 2008 #8
hye, heres just something I did when I had time today, this is only like a 60 second thing, so try not to be harsh.
i really like drawing eyes- and I did a tiny bit of work on the building i started yesterday but I dont think its enough to be noticed
August 20th, 2008 #9
big thanks for the comment. keep going, I'll have a keen eye on how this sketchbook will turn out

That is pretty damn good. I'm 15 and yeah...you're better than me. By miles!
September 16th, 2008 #12
Ahh 14
I remember when I was as young as you. I was a freshman in high school and was a skinny nerd... I loved it though. I always drew. And what did I draw? Comics. I loved X men and Batman and all that. Gah.. It was so fun..
Anyways, You have great potential. Unlike myself, you are actually practicing with perspective and groovy objects. Thats a good start. I am wishing that I practiced with Perspectives. Now, I am cramming myself to learn it. If you want my advice on drawing, I think perspective is just as good as any other skill to learn. Keep this up man. I am rooting for you to become great. I know you can do it. This forum is the best. I wish I had this when I was your age. You will definitely become somebody amazing.
Oh yeah, Another thing! Don't forget about the ladies!! Don't grow up finding out that the one girl you had a crush on, really liked you too. Then, she grows up and has 5 kids...
Live life, Live love, Love life, then die -- SaiVix
I would really love some honest critiques and improvements suggestions
Renewed Study - I'm drawing again!!

Mischa Barton Is Helping to Rewrite the Future
Celebrity Actress, Mischa Barton has been a supporter of our Rewrite the Future programs ever since she witnessed our work at our 75th Anniversary celebration. She has since visited some of our education projects in India and South Africa. Mischa also supports the Bulgari partnership to Rewrite the Future.
Learn more about Save the Children at: Official Site – Save the Children: Helping Children in Poverty and Children in Need
Mischa Barton is an British-American film, television, and stage actress, perhaps best known for her role as Marissa Cooper in the American television series The O.C.
New promos for The Beautiful Life have surfaced 😀 And the first one is COMPLETELY Mischa-focused. The second one is more general but still features a new scene from Mischa.
AUSTRALIAN design duo Sass & Bide wanted to celebrate 10 years at the top of their nation's design tree – and so created the Shine Initiative in association with Barnardos. The designers – famous for their great denim and shiny Rats leggings – asked some of their celebrity friends, including Kate Moss, Mischa Barton and Twiggy, to create artworks depicting what "shine" means to them.
Launched at this year's Australian Fashion Week in April, the works are now online at www.sassandbide.com – where fans can place bids on them before the bidding continues at an event at The Dairy in London on July 23. The proceeds of the auction will be donated to Barnardos UK and Australia to help fund workshops for abused children, hosted by the Sass & Bide designers; Heidi Middleton and Sarah-Jane Clarke.
"We are so excited to be back in London for our Shine project," the designers told VOGUE.COM. "London is where our label was born so to be back here celebrating 10 years, exhibiting the works of 10 special friends for a cause that is so close to our hearts, it's a really wonderful feeling. Each child we help will also receive a grant to pursue a dream."
To view the artworks, or to find out more about the auction, visit www.sassandbide.com.
To celebrate ten years of creating, we invited ten of our favourite souls to interpret what 'shine' means to them…Kate Moss, Barry Humphries, Rankin, Daisy Lowe, Sam Taylor-Wood, Emma Hawkins, Darren Middleton, Twiggy, Daimon Downey, Mischa Barton, and Sarah-Jane Clarke & Heidi Middleton have each created artworks which will support 'The Shine Collective' project, a sass & bide and Barnardos initiative. The charity collaborative launched in April '09 at Australian Fashion Week with an exhibition of the artworks. The artworks will be auctioned in London on July 23rd, 2009. The proceeds will fund creative counseling workshops for abused children and will be hosted by Sarah-Jane Clarke (sass) and Heidi Middleton (bide), in Australia and Britain.
Candids of Mischa heading to a business meeting in Beverly Hills with Charlie and Ziggy from July 3rd have been uploaded. She looks beautiful in these and we haven't seen Charlie or Ziggy in a while.
Edit: Added an additional set of candids:
– Mischa leaving a hair salon in Beverly Hills – Jul 03
Couple of new sets of candids from the last couple of days:
– Mischa at final day of Glastonbury Music Festival – June 28
– Mischa leaving The Square restaurant in Mayfair, London – Jul 01
Head on over to Handbag.com to check out an interview they had with Mischa following the Harrods Summer Sale Opening. Thanks to Maz for the tip!
Also, head on over to /Film for an English language Assassination of a High School President trailer, tentatively scheduled to be released on DVD October 13th, 2009.
Candids of Mischa leaving Whisky Mist & Bungalow 8 nightclubs in London – June 30 have been uploaded. I like her look here.
Here is a video from the opening of the Harrods Summer Sale on Saturday. The video was shot by a member of the public. Mischa doesn't appear until around the 4 minute mark.
And the following is video from the Zoe Griffin blog taken after the opening ceremony of the sale. Mischa seems to have lost her voice a little bit. She also reveals that The Beautiful Life should start filming around July 22nd.

The Zoe Griffin blog also mentions that Mischa's beige dress is by Jasmine di Milo.

As we all get older and older we wish we could just quit our jobs and retire and enjoy the lives outside of the office. These celebrities actually went ahead and did it, but did they really? These are celebrities that retired early, or at least announced they were retiring. A year or two later, they were back at it! Would you retire early if you could?

Digitimes is claiming Apple will launch a new model of MacBook soon, potentially by the end of 2014. According to the report, component production has already begun in small quantities. The current MacBook Air tapers from 0.3 cm to 1.7cm, so it is unclear in what form the new product will be thinner. Although the report is not specific, the report could be referencing the long-rumored 12 inch Retina MacBook Air.
Digitimes' report lacks any specifics aside from the release window. KGI's Ming-Chi Kuo first mentioned the idea of a brand new Retina Air in 2013, predicting a launch in Q3 2014. The Air is expected to feature a radical new design, high-resolution display and a buttonless trackpad.
An anonymous Chinese report claimed the machine would be fanless, although the trustworthiness of that claim was extremely questionable. On a related note, Bloomberg said earlier today that it believes Apple will release a new 12.9 inch iPad early next year. Clearly, the lines between MacBook and iOS are going to blur even more very, very soon.

why is it necessary to make it thinner? personally, I'd rather see it the size of a macbook Pro and give me a another usb port.
Hey David. I agree it'll be a bummer to lose any more ports… Yesterday I was saying how great it'll be to eventually have a thinner laptop. I'm a commercial photographer and my camera bag (including a 15″ rMBP) weighs about 35 lbs and I've also got other cases I'm lugging as well. Cutting one pound might not seem like a big deal, but when you're lugging this thing around all day it definitely helps.
Screw "more ports". People have been complaining about "ports" and "missing DVD drives" since Air was introduced. We don't need either – give me an ultra thin and portable laptop with all day battery life and no fans.
I'm actually happy with the current size and it seems a little small for me already. I don't know if I'd like to see MacBook Pro's become any thinner. This is already ridiculous!
It will still have the same number of ports I think because there is a high chance they will use the Type C USB specs – which is reversible and thinner. So it wouldn't be a problem for macbook to get thinner while keeping USB. What mainly concerns me is the the HDMI port to be honest. Will they go back to Lighting port again?
I'm pretty sure Digitimes' track record is 0 over the past 5+ years. This is a complete NON-story. This isn't news. Stop creating posts for this tripe.
So, maybe it's a macbook air, or maybe a retina macbook air. maybe it's 12″, or maybe it's a 13″, but not for sure. maybe it will even be thinner, or maybe without a fan…..
c'mon guys, feeding the Apple rumor mill with non-stories is just a waste of your time, digitized space, and our time as well.
I'm so sick of all these reports of upcoming products, which are not even rumors, just made up stories, to occupy your desk space!
and maybe late 2014 or 2015? PLEASE STOP THIS INSANITY!
Everything with Apple is always TOMORROW, SOME TIME, OR EVENTUALLY, AND ALWAYS MAYBE!!!!
You know what? I completely agree with you. This actually seems like an implausible rumour and a waste of time.
I thought the current model was thin! Also, it seems a little questionable that a laptop may not have a fan. I use my fans all the time, especially because of overheating when I use VirtualBox machines. I can't imagine a laptop without fans.
I want a MBP with a Slylake Intel cpu and the new Iris 5500 ? GPU 16 Gigs of DDR 4 and no fan fo $1999!

His left hand or the one on our right looks like he has 5 fingers and a thumb!!
I looked at the other and blimey that one looks the same! it looks like he has and extra finger as well.
His feet seem to have trouble too as the toes seem to be missing one of their number in that there only seem to be 4 toes on each foot!?
It might be the way you have painted it mate but sorry that is the way it looks to me.
