Kate's art teacher entered a painting that she had made during the year into the Del Mar Fair! It was pretty exciting to receive a free ticket... I had not been to the fair in about 15 years or so.... I'm not the type of person who eats a lot of junk food, so it wasn't the food that called to me.. but I have to tell you..the COLORS of the fair were pretty amazing! I was mesmerized by the menu boards.
I kept thinking to myself... man...the people behind the marketing of this stuff really hooked into me! The colors, typography...combined with the smells of it all... I'll admit, my mouth was totally watering. I ate one spiral cut potato thing on a stick and got the hell out of there..
What do you guys think? The colors? The smell? What gets you at the fair?

Every summer I find myself on creative break... Every summer, I try to force myself out of the break.. I think that I need a change.. and that if I find a new direction, the creativity will flow back with gusto.. and every summer, I spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars going all in on the new exploration.. I'm on to myself.
I've realized that I know I can paint.. I know that if I take a painting break, painting will come back to me.. I know that in summer, I have to play the roll of enthusiastic cruise director for 8 weeks.. I kind of like it. A lot. So until then, I take breaks.... far and few between (cruise directing is exhausting!).. and do a little project here and there. Slap some paint around... sew something quick.. (super proud of myself for HEMMING my short wardrobe)... Plus...while helping students in our online mixed media network, it seems like I never have stopped painting.
Annnnd.....Here's Chewie! Weighing in at over 10 pounds now..he's doubled in size since Easter when we brought him home. He's doing AWESOME in obedience class.. and I think he's changing color.. I think he's turning more gold...which is pretty cool... we're having a great summer.
Feast your eyes on the beautiful works of sculptor El Anatsui, recently shown at the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art:

My breakfast... Sunday - Friday. Saturday is reserved for waffles.. (vegetable bread, avocado, Nespresso)
Puppies are cute..but they are so much work. When you have several days of great days...you can get caught off guard by a random behavioral set-back.... sometimes that makes me forget about the progress we've made.. I know that I shouldn't. Add to that the fact that I am so sad to leave him here at home while I run errands, etc.. makes for a really tired mom. Really tired.
My daughter will be leaving third grade this year....we are looking forward to 4th grade in the fall. The child is in school... but I always think I am too.. the study sessions and guidance do warrant a vacation for the parent(s) too...right? We've come a long way.. Is it easier to continue working or stay at home?
I've been slowly (and I do mean slowly) working in an art journal.. I made about 3 pages last month.. I have to keep reminding myself that it's not really my time to create right now.. and whereas there is absolutely no room for more paintings here in the house, the art journal is a distant substitute.. because pages are meant for quick excursions.... not thorough fine art paintings... and that is what I struggle with. The camera is my new friend.. I can take pictures where I go...edit them and keep them on file here until I print them.. satisfies the little craving for art... it isn't much... but it's something.
It's been a while since I have received a baby announcement...
I was so excited to find one in my mail box the other day.. I perfected my blanket embroidery skills.. I'm really happy with how this turned out.
The owl is made "on the hoop".. so fun!
Found these affordable labels on Etsy.. Love that dot - dash stitch too!
The blanket is about 34 x 34" square.. with the baby's name in one corner and "Sweet Dreams" in the opposite corner. Sew your label and embroidering onto one side first, and then sew the two pieces of fabric together, right sides facing each other. Sewing minky is a little tricky.. I was very careful to use a lot of pins (about every inch) and to avoid puckering, I pinned two sides, stitched them up and then pinned the other sides using a long, straight stitch. I sewed on the slowest setting. The decorative top stitch was added after I turned the blanket inside out.

Around here, Chewie got his first haircut...
And we're learning new things every day. He's a really good dog. We're really lucky to have him here..
I shot a little video of our latest trick learning session... so fun. :)
From my first art journal... 2007. Remember why I started doing this? I wanted to teach myself how to use acrylic paint. Journal was the affordable way to experiment. I was wrapping up my time with rubber stamps and card making..
In the same journal, I decided later on that I although I always purchase sugary collage materials (I'm a Sanrio Child), I didn't think they were a good fit into my art.. I started to experiment with image transfers.
Landscape format called me next... still hanging on to those sweet embellishments...but struggling to find my own voice. By this time, my "voice" was published in a few Art Journaling magazines by Stampington and Co.. that was fun.
Then making my own books... stencils were coming in to play a little more... spray paint too.. I think by this time, the embellishments were making an exit..and making things my own was my preferred method.
Painting the covers of some books.... pushing and pulling between finished fine art and quick page... Art eventually wins.
Still attracted to collage..and less enamored with paint...
And 2015 on the table. What's next? Stay tuned...

It always starts the same way... get an idea. Think about purchasing the things for the idea.. talk yourself out of purchasing because you have every supply known to man...proceed with making the idea. Of course your expectation is set so high, you end up making things twice.. maybe 3 or 4 times even.
There is a severe addiction to Mine Craft here in our house.. if she is not playing it on any number of devices at one moment, she's talking about it. I decided that I would allow her to play the game in 15 minute increments... and she would get 10 of those sessions per week. After we talked about it, we decided that this rule would apply to all device usage.. (I prefer outdoor activities... especially tennis.) So my intention with these official "tokens" was to give her an allotment every Sunday that she could use during the week. When she redeemed the token, I would use my day date stamp to stamp when she used it on the back.. like an old fashioned library card if you will..
Except I have not seen my day/date stamp in about 4 years... the hunt for it enabled me to find the bottle caps pictured below.
Ooohhh... I could make actual "tokens"! Which was my idea in the first place!
I love this idea better.. These will sit in a cute jar on her dresser.. and when she wants to "cash" one in, she can give it to the "banker" - Me.
Bottle caps with scrapbook paper.. Dymo label "15"'s and covered with a thick application of Diamond Glaze. (No affiliation with these products or vendors.)
There was a request for donations from Kate's school... Kitchen themed.
I thought some embroidered dish towels would be a nice touch... but these were extremely labor intensive... and time consuming... so I gave up and bought an item at Target instead for the donation.
It is beautiful though..and I still have one more dish towel to embroider... I need to reign in my "doityourselfitis" and stay under control though..... too many things going.. does that ever happen to you too?
If you're looking to download patterns for your machine to embroider...I find this website very good. Fair prices, great digitizing. No complaints.

There are many reasons for today's game taking place - primary among them being a marriage of convenience for big business and corporate dollars.

Some random screenshots from playing World of Warplanes; enjoy!
Some random screenshots from playing World of Warplanes; enjoy!
As the Second World War progressed, the need for ever increasingly more powerful anti-tank guns would evolve; to counter ever more powerful and better armed Tanks and AFVs among other things. With the Russians fielding increasingly more powerful guns such as the 122 mm, and tanks such as the IS-2, the need for what would become the PaK 44 became apparent. The guns initial requirements were made in 1943. The PaK 44 would have the capacity to act as a field gun, firing HE rounds and also act as an anti-tank gun.
It was from the Pak 44 that the main armaments for the Jagdtiger tank-destroyer, and the Maus super heavy tank would be developed.
|Number built
The production model was a Krupp design; see blow:
A version was under development by Rheinmetall Borsig but ultimately it was dropped; see below:
I published a new eBook; this one is on the Panzer VIII Maus. Titled, Tanks of World War II: The Panzer VIII Maus; it can be found here on Amazon. Your purchase helps support Tankpedia.org.
What follows is an excellent selection of photos, showing Adolf Hitler as he is presented with the scale wooden mockup of the Maus, as well as a remote controlled model. This event occurred on May 1st 1943. Having reviewed the mockup Hitler ordered 150 vehicles.
Regarding the Maus, Heinz Guderian, who would act in many capacities during the war, including Inspector-General of Armoured Troops, wrote in his book Panzer Leader:
On May 1st Hitler had inspected the wooden model of a 'Mouse,' a tank designed by Professor Porsche and the Krupp Company which was to be armed with a 150 mm. cannon. It's total weight was supposed to be 175 tons; it must therefore be assumed that, after Hitler had ordered his usual supplementary changes to the initial design, it would weigh nearer 200 tons. But the model displayed carried no machine-guns for close-range fighting. For this reason I had to turn it down. This was the same mistake that Porsche had made in designing his Ferdinand Tiger and which had rendered the Ferdinand useless at close quarters; ultimately no tank can avoid fighting at close range, particularly if it is to co-operate with infantry. Our discussion grew heated, since everyone present except me regarded the Mouse as a very handsome tank. It did, indeed, promise to be 'gigantic.' ("Panzer Leader", Guderian 309)
These photographs are watermarked bpk; Bildarchiv Preußischer Kulturbesitz, which is the visual archive of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation.
The Panzerjäger Tiger Ausf. B was a German tank destroyer of the Second World War; known more commonly as the Jagdtiger. The ordnance designation for the Jagdtiger was Sd. Kfz. 186. Weighing 71 tonnes, and armed with a 128 mm PaK 44 L/55, it was both the heaviest, and heaviest armored fighting vehicle used operationally during the war. It saw limited service on both fronts from 1944 to the end of the war; with only 88 vehicles built. Tank ace Otto Carius would command a company of Jagdtigers during the war.
While pondering Germany's Maus Super Heavy Tank, my thoughts shifted to other large scale weapons. The Maus reached the production stage; however production was interrupted early on and canceled, and as such only the prototypes (two) were completed. Of the two prototypes, a surviving example (a combination of the turret of one of the prototypes, and the hull of the other) exists at the Kubinka Tank Museum in Kubinka outside Moscow in Russia. In short the Maus weighed 188 tonnes, and was armed with a 128 mm main gun, and a 75 mm cannon, and two 7.92 mm MG 34 machine guns as secondary armaments.
Railway Guns
Railway guns, or cannons mounted on rail carriages, was not unique; numerous examples existed, however, their origins was in the First World War, and by the Second World War examples were limited (operators included Germany, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom). Germany had two notable examples:
Schwerer Gustav (Heavy Gustaf/Great Gustaf) was the name for one of two 80 cm railway guns used by Germany; the other was Dora. The massive gun was moved on two parallel rail tracks.
V3 Cannon
The V-3 (Vergeltungswaffe 3) cannon was a German super-gun using a multi-charge principle where the projectiles velocity is increased by the introduction of secondary propellants. Of two built, one was actually put into action.
The Landkreuzer P.1000 Ratte
Beyond the Maus, another colossal tank was proposed, of even greater size than the Maus itself. The Landkreuzer P.1000 Ratte increased on the general concept of more armor, and greater fire power that was incorporated into the Maus.
Other large weapon systems existed, several planes for example, such as the Messerschmitt Me 323 transport; however the above examples, had much more questionable military value.
I was cleaning up some pictures and stumbled onto these of an old Einfield rifle. Enjoy!
During the second World War approximately a dozen (ten to thirteen) Tiger tanks were provided to the Kingdom of Hungary. These tanks would be used in battle; including at least one operated by Hungarian Tank Ace Lt. Ervin Tarczay (credited with 10 kills during his career). These Tiger tanks were provided by the 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion along with other armour including Panzer IV and Panther tanks; they were provided to bolster the Hungarian unit(s).
As the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS or ISIL depending on the context) has coalesced into a nation state, it has acquired a diverse selection of military hardware. This includes armoured units. Among the various pieces of equipment deployed by ISIS are the Badger MRAP, Humvees, T-54/55, T-62, and T-72 main battle tanks (MBT), as well as M1117 armoured cars, MT-LB, BMP-1, and M113 APCs. The tanks, MT-LB and BMP-1 are Soviet Stock, and the Humvee, M1117, and M113 are all native to the United States. Depending on the sophistication of ISIS armoured vehicle recovery and repair, possible additions include the US native M1 Abrams MBT. ISIS armoured stock are spoils of war; possibly captured from a variety of places including the Iraqi Military, the Military of Syria, and other militant groups, as well as Iran. On the ground ISIS is currently fighting against a multitude of opponents; this could include any of the following,
Given the nature of the acquisition of ISIS's military equipment and the highly fluid nature of the conflict in which she is fighting, her inventory of Armoured Fighting Vehicles has the potential to change rapidly. Future acquisitions could easily include more of the above as well as: M1 Abrams MBT, BMP-2, et al..
The actual size of ISIS's armoured units is difficult to estimate given ongoing acquisitions and attrition; although it had been noted as being approximately 40 strong for two of the MBTs: 30 T-54/55 and roughly 10 T-72 tanks. Although these estimates were from earlier in the year regarding the T-54/55 and T-72. ISIS employs a strong collection of Technicals; pick-up Trucks with mounted weapons (and possibly armour as well); ISIS's limit for these vehicles realistically is limited to her desire as pick-up trucks and supporting mountable weapons should be in ample supply. In a recent Wall Street Journal (WSJ) article it was estimated that ISIS employs approximately 30 M1 Abrams already. Given the state of the war, it is not a question of if, but rather when ISIS will expand it's inventory of US military hardware. However despite this fact the M1 Abrams is an iconic weapon system; given ISIS's documented interest in lauding its perceived attacks on the West, including the murder recently of US journalists, it would seem logical that an M1 Abrams would prove an excellent backdrop for an ISIS propaganda video. As such I do not believe ISIS currently has any M1 Abrams.
Based on my own research (with an emphasis on visual evidence) I estimate the following numbers for ISIS's AFV inventory,
I estimate ISIS total inventory at approximately 80 vehicles at most; this does not include Technicals and related vehicles such as Humvees. Technicals by far represent the majority of AFVs employed by ISIS; with the above representing a small fraction: perhaps as little as 1 to 3% although likely 1% or less. Given ISIS's resources, she is well equiped to use and maintain these systems; the exception being the 2K12 Kub system's main armament. There are claims that the US weapons systems will prove difficult to maintain; with a lack of spare parts and technical expertise. This is false; ISIS's arrary of Technicals includes many illustrating a high degree of inginuity and resourcefulness. It is hubris to think that ISIS is incapable of maintaining its inventory of AFVs; her real limits will be with missiles of any size including captured ballistic missiles and aircraft. Further, ISIS is well equipped with mobile man operated anti-aircraft systems such as shoulder fired manpad systems. These systems provide a degree of secuirty for ISIS's AFVs; while not absolute, they are a major factor for consideration in any airstrike targeting ISIS AFVs.
A video showing captured T-62 MBTs in a field; ISIS captured these from the Iraqi Military. They sit with a few APCs, possibly Soviet MT-LB APCs. I estimate in this video 10 T-62 and 3 MT-LB AFVs along with possibly 2 more MT-LB and 3 more T-62 in the far background.
Another video showing a parade of armour including T-62 MBTs and a BMP-1.

In computer-based text processing and digital typesetting, a non-breaking space, no-break space or non-breakable space (NBSP) is a variant of the space character that prevents an automatic line break (line wrap) at its position. In certain formats (such as HTML), it also prevents the "collapsing" of multiple consecutive whitespace characters into a single space. The non-breaking space is also known as a hard space or fixed space. In Unicode, it is encoded at U+00A0 no-break space (HTML:
Text-processing software typically assumes that an automatic line break may be inserted anywhere a space character occurs; a non-breaking space prevents this from happening (provided the software recognizes the character). For example, if the text "100 km" will not quite fit at the end of a line, the software may insert a line break between "100" and "km". To avoid this undesirable behaviour, the editor may choose to use a non-breaking space between "100" and "km". This guarantees that the text "100 km" will not be broken: if it does not fit at the end of a line it is moved in its entirety to the next line.

TAMPA, Fla. – Mike Evans had to be the happiest person that Saturday night's game with the Miami Dolphins was only a preseason contest.
The rookie wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a play that looked like it was heading for a highlight reel but instead might end up on a bloopers show.
In the second quarter, Evans caught a short pass from Mike Glennon and bounced off a would-be tackler. Evans seemed destined for the end zone, but something got in the way. Miami cornerback Brent Grimes stripped the ball from Evans at the 1-yard line. A play that should have resulted in a touchdown turned into a touchback.
"It was a rookie mistake,'' Evans said after Tampa Bay's 20-14 loss. "I had the ball on my inside arm and I didn't anticipate him. It was a good play by him. I should have had the ball in my outside arm.''
"We can correct that,'' coach Lovie Smith said.
But Evans obviously has been making a good impression in practices. He had been behind Chris Owusu on the depth chart. But Evans got the start over Owusu on Saturday. The Bucs don't expect Evans to make the same mistake again.
"I don't think we have to have any conversations,'' quarterback Josh McCown said. "As unfortunate as that is, it's the best teacher.''

A.J. Allmendinger decides to take NASCAR's Road to Recovery
A.J. Allmendinger decides to take NASCAR's Road to Recovery
After failing his drug test and being suspended indefinately by NASCAR A.J. Allmendinger had three options available to him. Simply stop driving and leave NASCAR, fight NASCAR in court, or participate in the program NASCAR has available in order to get restated in NASCAR. A.J. Allmendinger has chosen the later and will go through NASCAR's "Road to Recovery" program.
NASCAR's "Road to Recovery" program will be specifically tailored to A.J. and the drug he tested positive for. Since it is specifically targeted to him there is no indication on how long this will take or what it will entail. The official statement from A.J. Allmendinger is below:
"While we await further information from testing to determine the cause, we have notified NASCAR that AJ will participate in the Road to Recovery Program starting immediately. As we have stated earlier, we respect NASCAR's drug testing policies. They are first and foremost in place to protect drivers and AJ being among those. We fully support the program, and and as more details become available, we will share them. We would like to personally thank Mr. Helton and John Bobo for helping worked through this in an expeditious manner."

40 year old woman | Fort Myers, FL, USA | Seeking men 35-45 within 25 miles
I've decided to give this site another chance. So here I am. So about me...Im 40 and never married so no ex's drama..lol. I love to laugh and joke around but know how to be serious and most importantly when to be that way. I try keep a positive side present in no matter what I do. Life comes in punches and you can either let it knock you down or you can take it and learn from it. I like to learn from it. Each thing that happens to a person happens for a reason. I like to do a lot of different things. I am a beach goer. I love the water. I love to go fishing and do it often. ..I also like watching sports. More going to the game rather than watching on TV. Football being one of my favorites. I will admit, I don't know all the plays or all the players names but I enjoy the competition and excitement. I am originaly from Indianapolis so I am a Colts fan. Shopping is also on my to do list. Nothing like a little retail therapy. I am a very caring person, to a fault so I've been told. Honesty is a must for me. If you dont' have honesty and trust in a relationship or potential relationship, you have nothing. Communication falls in there too. If you like someone go for it, if you don't tell them. It saves everyone a lot of time and effort. I don't get into a lot of drama, life is too short and we aren't getting any younger. I don't want any one night stands nor am I looking for a buddy to hang out with. I am here to find someone that wants a real relationship. If you are still reading my "about me" then obviously I haven't scared you off so take the next step and email me. You never know. lol...Thank you for reading my profile and look forward to hearing from you!
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Shopping/Antiques , Watching sports
Auto racing / Motorcross, Billiards / Pool, Football, Swimming, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs, Fish
Middle of the Road
I am not much of a club person. I enjoy a cup of coffee at starbucks with friends, going shopping at Coconut Point and hanging out with friends and family.
My taste in music varies to my mood. I am a rock girl at heart...old, new and alternative. Country is not one of my favorites but I can handle a little bit of it. Hip hop is ok.
I spend a lot of time at the beach or on the boat fishing with my friends
I am more of a magazine reader. Don't really like sedatary (sp) things. I like to keep busy whether it's outside or around the house.

Grizzlies rookie Franklin adjusting to more playing time
He went from one numbers game right into another.
Jamaal Franklin waited with bated breath just to be selected 41st in the second round of the June NBA draft. He then promptly walked onto a veteran squad with its biggest logjam at the wing positions.
There was nowhere for Franklin to play in his rookie season.
Until now.
Injuries have decimated the Grizzlies' roster. Coach Dave Joerger suddenly is thrust into employing an all-hands-on-deck philosophy and that includes the 6-5 swingman Franklin making contributions.
This season was supposed to be one in which Franklin simply studied behind championship-caliber players such as Tayshaun Prince, Tony Allen and Mike Miller. Now, Franklin will play alongside them as part of the Grizzlies wing rotation with Quincy Pondexter lost for the season because of a stress fracture in his right foot.
Joerger said Franklin's game fits the mold of the Grizzlies' season so far as they prepare to host the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight: expect the unexpected.
"You will probably sit up in your chair because something is going to happen. He plays really, really hard and that's contagious," Joerger said. "He can make a play and get us going."
The benefit of appearing in just four games and not playing more than eight minutes in any of them before Monday night is that Franklin grasped exactly what the Griz need.
So Franklin simply went out Monday night and was an energy guy on defense and concentrated on making open shots in his 15 minutes when the Griz beat the Orlando Magic.
"I know for me to contribute I have to make wide open shots and I have to make threes because that's what the team needs," Franklin said. "And I have to make sure I'm locking up on the defensive end."
Franklins buried 3 of 5 shots, including a 3-pointer that beat the third-quarter buzzer. It was his second 3-pointer of the night. Franklin's improved outside shooting continues to be on display as a result of his work with assistant coach Duane Ticknor.
"Actually," Griz forward Zach Randolph said, "I've been telling the coaches we should be playing Jamaal."
Teammates have been routinely impressed by the hardworking, high-energy athlete. Franklin has a 6-11 wingspan and an NBA-caliber motor that can make up for inexperience.
"He's got a great work ethic. And he's got a great attitude," Griz reserve forward Jon Leuer said. "As a young player, when you're not getting minutes, that's something good to have. It's what I learned my first couple of years. It's a great mindset to have."
About 90 seconds into that Magic game, Franklin grabbed a rebound. He calmly made a shot from beyond the arc on his first field goal attempt. He drove the baseline and scored on a reverse layup 30 seconds later.
Franklin has an opportunity but he doesn't have the green light on offense that he enjoyed at San Diego State. Joerger's instruction to Franklin is just stick with the basics and play mistake-free basketball as best as he can.
"I expect him to defend. I expect him to make mistakes defensively, but they won't be for a lack of effort. It's just lack of experience," Joerger said. "Anything he gives us offensively will be gravy. Stay in your lane and play off of other people."
Grizzlies veteran Allen is familiar with those orders, having heard the same from coaches for most of his NBA career. That is one reason Allen is easily the most attentive to Franklin, even though he is sidelined with a hip injury.
"He does a great job of trying to learn. That's what most impresses me," Allen said. "He's willing to compete and he's always asking questions. That's great for a rookie. He kind of reminds me of myself, always trying to do things right and do things by the book. Not doing too much and not being sporadic. It's kind of hard to break out of."
Franklin, though, will tell you that he's not overwhelmed or intimidated by the moment.
"I'm a confidence player," Franklin said. "If you watched me through college, I always have confidence. I don't let anything affect my confidence. I'm always going to have confidence whether I'm playing or not. My confidence is greater knowing that they have faith in me to be able to do something."
