In this installment of Illustrator Insider Training, author Mordy Golding shows how to create type that's both beautiful and communicative, whether it's destined for logos, brochures, signs, infographics, or simple documents. This course covers core typography concepts, such as working with Unicode and OpenType fonts, applying character and paragraph settings, managing text with styles and text threads, placing text along a path, and wrapping text around graphics.
If you have access to the exercise files for this course, you might find it easier to copy them to your computer desktop as I've done here, or anywhere anyway you'd like where they'll be easily accessible. The top folder contains subfolders for each chapter, which themselves contain the exercise files. If you don't have access to these files, you can still follow along with your own files, or just sit back and watch as I proceed throughout the course.

Sammy Hagar Not Impressed With New Van Halen Tunes
In a new interview, Chickenfoot singer and former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar talks candidly about what he thinks of the new Van Halen material featuring original lead singer David Lee Roth.
David Lee Roth Talks Recycled Music, Eddie Van Halen + More
Song Clips From Upcoming Van Halen Album Surface Online
Earlier today, Ultimate Classic Rock debuted a 90-second snippet of the new Van Halen song titled 'China Town.' The tune, probably the heaviest one heard so far from the band's upcoming album 'A Different Kind of Truth,' gets straight to the point starting off with a blazing Eddie Van Halen solo before the rhythm section takes over and David Lee Roth joins in on this tale of hard living.
Happy 57th Birthday Eddie Van Halen!
And on this glorious day, back in 1955, the universe was graced with one Mr. Edward Van Halen. Today (Jan. 26), 57 years later, we wish the guitar god a very happy birthday and look back at his incredible music career.
Van Halen 2012 Tour Ticket Giveaway
Enter below and if you win you'll get two tickets to any show* (except one, see details below) on Van Halen's upcoming 2012 North American tour and a copy of their new CD, 'A Different Kind of Truth,' courtesy of Live Nation, Ultimate Classic Rock and Loudwire. VH kick off the much-anticipated tour on Feb. 18 in Louisville, Ky., and will be out through a June 26 gig in New Orleans, La. Check out their complete itinerary below.
Eddie Van Halen Donates 75 Guitars to School Music Programs

Van Halen, 'Tattoo' – Song Review
It's been 28 years since Van Halen released an album with David Lee Roth at the vocal helm, and 'Tattoo' is the first single from VH and DLR's reunion album, 'A Different Kind of Truth,' due out Feb. 7. It's worth a mention that this is not the first new VH song with DLR singing since 1984, as Diamond Dave laid down his voice on 'Me Wise Magic' in 1996 for the 'Greatest Hits' set and that song was a No. 1 radio hit.

In the past few days, VH have shared details about their upcoming tour and album. It's starting to feel like we live on Planet Van Halen and that's never a bad thing.

Stunning Half Plate Daguerreotype of a Traveling Photographer's Studio with Impeccable Period Provenance Inscribed in pencil script in the back of the case "Taken By James A. Boyd at White Pigeon June the 6 1855, James A. Boyd Artist, Artist Wm Hardings Car, Price $6.00", with the owner of the wagon/photographer depicted in the open window apparently being William Harding. White Pigeon, Michigan, incorporated in 1837, is the oldest incorporated village in Michigan and was the gateway to the Michigan frontier, with the U.S. Land Office selling land to settlers moving west for $1.25 an acre. A perfect location for an enterprising photographer to take advantage of the constant flow of settlers moving through the town. The wagon is shown full length, with weather boarded sides, large sliding glass windows, skylight clearly visible on the top, with smokestack apparently for a small stove inside the wagon. Wooden spoke wheels, with supports/ braces in place to hold the wagon stationary. The photographer is clearly visible through the open window, nicely posed seated. The wall in the background is covered with framed images, doubtless his "showroom," with another large window clearly visible in the background. Superb quality, just a few touches of tarnish, untouched/ uncleaned. Housed in the original fine condition brown leather geometric case. This remarkable image is accompanied by a ninth plate ambrotype of Harding, obviously the same man visible seated in the wagon, housed in the original black leather geometric case. One of the most important daguerreotype offerings in recent years and descended through the consignor's family.

59 Years of Exceptional Quality and Service
KAR staff & facilities
Welcome to our laboratory! We are experts in environmental testing, sampling, and monitoring of water, wastewater, soil, waste, and air using EPA, MDEQ, NPDES, SDWA, and RCRA test methods. Most of our work is assisting commercial, industrial, and municipal clients, but we don't ignore private citizens and homeowners, offering 4 value-oriented drinking water test kits with unheard of contaminant coverage and amazingly fast service. We also specialize in industrial surveillance, process troubleshooting and help solve industrial problems in the areas of quality control and chemistry. Our laboratory has the equipment and staff to deliver the superior quality and service you expect, without delay and without excuses or compromises. Better solutions through better chemistry through quality service.
|State of the art
U.S. EPA Certified for:
Drinking Water Test Kits
Is your water safe? The USEPA recommends regular testing of your drinking water by a certified laboratory. We have the sophisticated laboratory equipment and trained professionals for the job. You can trust our experienced professional chemists. We'll test Bacteria, Ions, Nutrient, Minerals, Metals, and Heavy Metals and more for an unheard of price and do it FAST. Our combination of quality, number of tests, turnaround time and price is unmatched. We use state-of-the-art analytical testing equipment for your samples and USEPA test methods. Get the same professional laboratory testing service packaged into an easy-to-use kit. Choose from 4 test kits ranging from 65 to 375 tests, 2 to 10 day turnaround time, and from $49 to $219. Visit our online store to order a single water test kit or up to 50 test kits and get big savings.
Hop Testing
With the recent explosion of microbreweries in Michigan and across the land, we were asked to provide the testing needed by hop growers. We test Alpha & Beta acids, Cohumulone, and Colupulone using High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC) which provides superior accuracy. We also test for Alpha & Beta acids plus Hop Storage Index using Diode Array UV Spectophotometer and Essential Oil testing by steam distillation and Gas Chromatography. Included at no charge with every test is a moisture (Dry Matter) test. We are a member of the American Society of Brewing Chemists (ASBC) and use ASBC test methods. Our subscription to monthly blind QC samples is just one of the many ways we ensure our results are correct. The turnaround time during harvest season is next business day.
Analysis of Water used for Brewing Beer
Brewers need to control Carbonate, Bicarbonate, Total alkalinity, Sodium, Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride and Sulfate. While we're at it, might as well test for minerals, ions, corrosivity, salinity and nutrients. Why stop there? Better check for contaminants like bacteria, metals, toxic heavy metals, nitrate, nitrite, fluoride, bromide, etc. This is the perfect and most comprehensive brewing water test kit for home brewers and the professional brewers alike. Plus, it's fast. Expect your lab report in 2 days.
Chlorinated Paraffins
Here's another test that our laboratory developed arising from the needs of our clients. Like the EDTA test below, we may well be the only laboratory in the country to offer this unique service for environmental samples (water, wastewater, soil, wastes, etc.), as the published literature tends to focus on toxicity in animals. By calibrating the GC-MS in three ranges of C10-C13, C14-C17, and C17-C30, our test method allows a very wide range of compounds to be detected and quantified.
EDTA is an important compound of massive worldwide use. The very property that makes EDTA commercially valuable - its ability to bind with metals - also causes it to dramatically enhance the mobilization of heavy metals into groundwater. Wastes containing EDTA expedite the migration of toxic heavy metal contaminants into the groundwater aquifer at an alarming rate. EDTA testing is a critical component in determining the path of heavy metal contaminants and if your operation used EDTA, you should take a careful look at the ultimate fate of your waste stream. Our laboratory has developed an analytical method for measuring EDTA in water, groundwater, soil, and waste that's unavailable elsewhere.

The UDI Rule: Are you Ready?
Overview: Standardized labels recently mandated by the UDI Rule are an important step but will not provide healthcare cost savings and improved patient safety on their own. Furthermore, EHRs and MMIS systems do not provide the functionality necessary to meet these objectives. Hospitals need a tool to leverage the use of UDI (Unique Device Identification) within their healthcare organizations to empower AHRMM's Cost, Quality, Outcomes (CQO) Movement. This on-demand webinar will explain the many benefits the UDI system can bring both to a hospital's bottom line and to patients. With proper tools implemented by healthcare providers, UDI will help to lower cost, and increase quality to improve patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
- What is the UDI rule and how does UDI specifically benefit hospitals?
- How will UDI reduce costs for healthcare?
- How will UDI improve patient safety and recall management?
- Learn how to achieve UDI benefits by bridging the gap between MMIS & EHR.
- Learn how to improve quality assurance of rep delivered medical devices.
- Learn how to automate recall investigations to improve patient safety.
- Learn how to gain visibility into medical device usage and associated costs to make informed decisions.
This webinar was previously recorded on June 17, 2014
Track: Technology Solutions
Cost: $99 AHRMM Members; $139 Non Members
Presenter: Peter I. Casady, President and CEO, Champion Medical Technologies

Hey remember when that girl asked you to go with her to San Francisco MINI to kick some tires and they were asking $38.5k for a convertible that had been sitting on a lot unsold for almost a year(!) and how SF MINI had the stones to ask for $3500 in "added dealer markup" on the Monroney?
Good times.
That San Francisco MINI dealership reminds me of an Apple $tore and not in a good way.
Oh well.

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Outbreak in U.S.
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI):
Updated News and Information for
Colorado Backyard and Small Poultry Producers
Because of the ongoing disease outbreak and the potential for spillover from wildlife, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become of significant importance for small poultry producers. The United States has been hard hit by a growing highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak since late 2014. The first detection of HPAI in this outbreak was reported by Washington State on December 19, 2014. Since that first report, this ongoing outbreak has resulted in the destruction of more than 20 million birds, marking it as the largest avian influenza outbreak in United States history. For more information and to view the full article, please click Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza.
Flood Recovery
Information of importance to flood recovery survivors has recently been received.
FEMA Recoupment has been initiated in designated counties and presents a new challenge for flood survivors. This is an audit process where FEMA determines that money they dispersed is now considered ineligible and sends a Notice of Debt asking recipients to pay back money. There are several reasons why this might be triggered, examples include, duplication of benefits, overestimation of FEMA award, money not used as intended (i.e. home repair money used for groceries). There is a 30-day response window before interest is charged; clients have 60-days to appeal. The appeal process is not complicated, but it is critical that people respond. Case Management, and particularly Disaster Case Management, are aligned to assist clients with their appeals and to help clients understand the impact this may have on their Recovery Plan.
Weld County flood survivors should contact Weld Recovers Case Management at 970-590-8401 for further information and assistance.
The Extension office provides assistance and programs for citizens in these areas:
- Livestock/Agriculture
- Horticulture
- 4-H Youth Programs
- Food Nutrition
As the name implies, it is an extension of Colorado State University.
Weld County pays for half of the Extension program including building and office expenses, program costs and mileage. The balance is Colorado State University funds from federal programs and the state legislature.

Reformed Celeb Bad Boys
By Stacie Anthony
From DUIs to sex tape scandals, Hollywood types are some of the world's most notorious bad boys. But sometimes these guys turn their backs on their unruly ways and reform their shocking behavior. Don't believe us? Click through to see how celebs have cleaned up their public image, starting with Justin Bieber, who's been redeeming his recent d-bag behavior. After getting nailed for chucking eggs at a neighbor's house in 2014 -- for which he had to cough up $80,000 in restitution to resolve his criminal case -- and his arrest for drag racing in Miami the same year, the Biebs decided to clean up his act. How, you ask? By getting roasted by some of his favorite celebs and publicly apologizing on Ellen.

Few forces shape the modern world more than the internet and yet it's an invisible presence that we just understand is there. But PhD student Luis Hernan has changed that by designing a system which scans for wireless networks and creates images where different signal strengths are represented by different coloured LED lights. The results, in essence, allow us to see the WiFi around us.
Anyone in New York had better gallop over to Ed. Varie gallery to catch a new show by the ever-wonderful artist Ana Kraš. We've posted about Ana a few times, mainly about her beautiful lamps and designs to make your home/life better, and her fun collaborative photography projects. Her show at Ed. Varie entitled Mothers with Spoons and Relationships is an exploration into her more recent love of drawing, using predominantly back-to-basics art supplies such as wax, crayon and oil pastel.
When we last encountered Essex-based painter Simon Monk he was busy preserving toy superheroes in plastic bags and rendering them with hyper-real precision. Secret Identity explored the strange imbalance of the powers ascribed to superheroes and the powerless inertia of their model representations. Since then he's focussed his attention on one plastic superhero in particular, treating Batman with torturous sadism and restricting him with any binding he finds to hand. He's been netted, taped, cling-filmed and roped down, trapped forever in a compromised position thanks to Simon's dangerously accurate brushwork.
I came across Graham Little when going through content from the site, he was one of the first people I ever put on the site about three years ago. To revisit his work reminded me just how much I loved him the first time around, particularly as he's been very busy in the last few years and has created some absolutely stunning new work. There's something about the poses, and the calm nature of his nymph-like female subjects that makes me slightly uneasy.
I'm the third person to take a turn waxing lyrical about the art of Bryan Olson (he was discussed here and here in the past), but I don't mind, I'm just happy to have the opportunity. The North Carolina-based artist is arguably the master of his medium; a creator of collages so delicately crafted it's often impossible to tell they've been made from hand-cut paper. Though it's by no means his only concern Bryan focusses a great deal on the cosmos in his work, leaving strange portals into the unknown at the centre of his images or placing earthly objects within inter-planetary scenes. It's a heady combination that lures viewers in, making them feel like children gazing at a dense night sky or an adult on one hell of a trip.
The phrase "artistic intervention" has a chequered past, but we're struggling to think of a more impressive example than Frank and Patrik Riklin's BIGNIK. The ongoing project aims to build a huge picnic cloth by 2040, made up of 252,144 panels – one for every person in the Appenzell region of Switzerland.
Sure, here at It's Nice That we love fine art. You may even walk past us on the weekend ambling around in galleries, or poring over art books in libraries. We champion some of the most exquisite architecture, sculpture and filmmaking along with some of the most groundbreaking works of art made in modern times. What you define as "art" is a personal thing, but I can tell you now that when it came to voting on content for the site (we decide on content via a voting process around a table FYI) this Presidents with Boob Faces was a unanimous "YES" from each knowledgeable, art-loving member of the It's Nice That team. When you can see hard, skilled craftsmanship and evidence of a brave artist taking one small idea and running really, really far with it, how can you resist loving it? These are amazing, and artist Emily Deutchman should be very, very proud of herself.
When something is well-designed, be it a magazine, building, fashion collection or car – it should be well-celebrated. To honour the spectacular and cutting-edge design of the brand new Lexus NX, a new digital art exhibition entitled NX-Perspectives has been launched. Gathering together some of the world's leading creative thinkers, makers and doers, Lexus have assigned them to create a special piece of performance art inspired by the Lexus NX to exhibit in the digital show.
London-based artist Aleksandra Mir has been busy over the past month investigating the process of drawing in a collaborative experiment that invites participants to contribute to a giant collage of the London skyline, rendered entirely with Sharpies. The process of creating the work was part of the exhibition itself, with Aleksandra and her team engaged in drawing everything by hand during the first days of the show. But for those that missed it there's also a beautiful time-lapse film of the process, providing context and insight to this giant piece of collaborative draughtsmanship.
I know what you're thinking, you're thinking; "How on earth did that priest train a dolphin to carry him like that?" Or maybe you're thinking; "Where did the photographer have to stand to capture that image?" Or perhaps, in fact, you're thinking; "This HAS to be fake." But all of these lines of inquiry are valid in the world of Joan Fontcuberta, the Spanish artist and photographer who's latest exhibition has just landed at The Science Museum's Media Space.
You're on the internet, so you probably like cats, right? Well, these woodblock prints by Tadashige Nishida capture all of those cat qualities that we love to love: his creepy but cute kittens are unafraid and alert, always listening and sensing, and very delicately, playfully poised. Tadashige renders the subtle lines of a cat's body against brilliantly bold backgrounds, and it is very difficult to work out just what it is that makes his prints so hypnotically intriguing. Doris Lessing, one of literature's best cat lovers, describes the curious creatures in the following way: "If a fish is the movement of water embodied, given shape, then cat is a diagram and pattern of subtle air." Tadashige captures these dexterous and whimsical cat attributes beautifully in his surprising, minimalist prints.
The only real auction action we get exposed to regularly is top programmes like Bargain Hunt or Flog It! but recently the whole auction concept has started to be used in a way that removes our cliched expectations of a collection of people (eccentric oddballs) bidding on antiques (old stuff).
As artist mediums go, paper cutting has its limits, right? Fine spindly branches supporting layers of luscious foliage for example might be a challenging one to recreate with scalpel and paper, for example, as might the rippling shadows that fall across swimming pools. Not so if you're Lucy Williams. The London-based artist is redefining the nature of mixed media artwork with her absurdly detailed paper cuts. No line is too fine, no detail too small for her to recreate, and it's precisely this unstoppable eye for detail that's basically crowned her the queen of the method. Her penchant for mid-20th Century architecture and landscapes has taken her work across the world in exhibitions, and her awe-inspiring portfolio spanning no small number of years functions as a fantastic heap of evidence to explain why. Rub your eyes and gaze on in wonderment at these beauties.
You don't get many portfolios as rich and as varied as Urs Fischer's – his somewhat prolific sculptural work ranges from enormous rooms full of objects imprisoned in steel cubes, John Stezaker-esque collages and gargoyle-like characters that look straight out of Labyrinth. But you know, we're It's Nice That, so obviously we're really into the paintings he did of people through history with hard boiled eggs masking their faces. Really though, these are incredibly beautiful pieces of work. Depending on how much you like eggs, they may or may not make you feel a bit nauseous. For me though, this is the best thing ever.
From what I can gather, these abstract paintings were made by placing the nibs of inky marker pens on top of a stack of paper. The result is an amazing blotted fusion of kaleidoscopic patterns and rainbow colours, which kind of looks like the psychedelic shapes butterfly wing's make when seen through a microscope.
Who needs stupid real flags when fictional ones are this beautiful? Mariana Abasolo (cool name) has created these magnificent, bright images that are somewhere in-between celebratory bunting and the backs of playing cards, and make her Flickr account look like some sort of culty party. We don't know much about Mariana, but we do know that her work hasn't always been like this – a quick scan through the rest of her portfolio shows that she's been making some truly curious drawings for a while now – browser windows drawn in coloured pencil and strange, surreal living room scenes to name but a few. Very impressive, Mariana. More please!
Remember learning about Kandinsky in junior school art lessons, when the teachers were as concerned with keeping the students from poking coloured pencils in each other's eyes are they were with imparting the wisdom of one of the greatest synaesthetes ever known? No, me neither, which goes some way to explaining my patchy knowledge of art history. Still, I remember enough to spot the reference to Kandinsky's paintings, which he created as an abstract visualisation of the visions he saw while listening to music, in the work of Jenn Dierdorf.
Spanish illustrator and artist David Mendez Alonso makes the kind of exuberant imagery that's desperate to be displayed across as many different media as possible. His vibrant patters, cheerful paintings and humorous sculptural works all embrace a luminous palette of colours and motley crew of unusual characters, giving them immediate universal appeal. As a result he's constantly busy working on all manner of exciting projects, including fashion collections for Paraiso, elaborate books of curious character design and giant gouache paintings rich with pop culture references. Very nice indeed!
It's been more than a year since we last donned a sensible wide-brimmed hat and slathered on the Factor 50 to pay Ben Sanders a visit in sunny Los Angeles. The artist just displayed a host of new work at his enigmatically-named exhibition Graves of Craving, in his home city; works bursting with colour and texture, strange shapes, odd details and no end of character. While the paintings have a charming silliness to them Ben has a serious visual sensibility, and his talents have now also been turned to a new collective Those People.
Biomedical research centres aren't renowned for creative enterprise – why should they be – but across the pond one New York organisation is bucking the trend with a stunning new digital artwork. The Weill Cornell Medical College commissioned London-based creative agencies Squint/Opera and Hirsch&Mann to produce the Discovery Wall for its new Manhattan premises and the results are super-impressive. The final piece comprises 2,800 LED screens set behind a bank of lenticular discs. For passers-by it can be viewed as a large-scale digital artwork but up close the screens display content that relates to the college's pioneering scientific research.
The biggest news of the story of the past couple of years has probably been Edward Snowden's crusade against the US authorities' snooping tactics. It's been spearheaded by The Guardian so it's quite an honour for a creative to be asked by that very newspaper to create visuals for its own magazine's coverage.
Ed Anthony is a self-taught artist based in London who specialises in the creation of large-scale graphite portraits. His enormous works on paper demonstrate an extraordinary understanding of texture and tone, using a single, simple medium to render the faces of his sitters in strikingly realistic detail. In this particular series Ed has focussed his attention on some of the biggest names in architecture today – he works as an architectural model-maker by day – and immortalised them in graphite, interviewing them while he did so to better understand their relationship with physical media. He's also got a show opening at the Palazzo Bembo in Venice this week, where you'll be able to see more of his portraits in person.
I saw Godzilla last night, and this wooden labyrinthine installation makes me think of what the cavernous, skeletal insides of the jurassic creature would look like if the movie had been designed by Guillermo del Toro. Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveira's interactive sculpture twists and turns like an organic growth that has taken over the Museum de Arte in Sao Paulo's sleek and white corridors, tumbling around erect columns like a jungle taking over an uninhabited city. Henrique used repurposed wood pieces as the skin of his Transarquitetonica, and we imagine that walking through the cocooned corridors of the wooden maze must be an enthralling experience. An immense and intriguing project that will take you deep into the woods.
Looking through the computer-generated art by Rose Pilkington is a bit like sliding around in a big tub of rainbow coloured mercury whilst synthetic bubbles and digital geometric fragments are hurled towards you. We love her mind-boggling GIFs, which kind of look like what might happen if the shirts worn by Zack on Saved by the Bell were digitized and made into panoramic landscapes on Second Life. Take a look at her bright, kaleidoscopic website and 3D sketches here, you won't regret it, although you may have all the clashing CMYK colours imprinted on your vision for quite a while afterwards.
Daniel Adel is best known for his satirical illustration, as championed by the likes of The New Yorker and The New York Times; abnormally large-headed politicians sipping beverages next to scantily-clad babes, caricatures of famous faces with overgrown ears and noses. Over on his website, though, these cheeky images are more than matched by incredibly serious and very impressive portraiture which looks like it would be just as at home on the walls of an American president's mahogany-lined office as it would over your grandmother's fireplace.
When someone's work looks like the legs of David Hockney's painting trousers, or the vomit of someone who's just nailed a pack of Skittles, you know it's gonna be the kind of thing we want on our site. Like the spectacular Minna Gilligan or Jordy van Den Nieuwendijk, artist Adam Sultan's weapon of choice is COLOUR.
The only thing I remember from biology classes is gazing with wonder at the pictures of cells and membranes, and marvelling at the idea that such incredible patterns form randomly in nature. Generative artist Jonathan McCabe was clearly mesmerised in the same way: using Alan Turings theories of morphology he has created his own intricate designs, which are far more psychedelic than anything I ever saw in my bio textbook.
Last week the Irish photographer Richard Mosse won the Deutsche Börse Prize for his amazing pink pictures of the civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Created with special heat-sensitive film, Richard used the shock of the unexpected palette to engage us with a conflict that can feel very far-removed.
When you search for "Ian Stevenson" Google suggests that you might be looking for a Canadian psychiatrist who specialised in reincarnation. I wasn't – I was after the British artist of the same name – but I can't help wonder what the former might have made of the latter's work.
I'm a sucker for a really well-executed spoof, so take a bow New York based artist/copywriter and filmmaker Dan Shapiro. Inspired by "the stereotypical conventions of the faux-introspective, vague creative profiles floating around the internet" Dan decided to lampoon them by creating his own. From the floaty music to the cliched, sun-kissed shots,the subjects's supremely irritating self-deprecating chuckle to the inane pronouncements ("It's about being present and aware") Dan has got it spot on.
It's been a while since we last checked in on Amy Woodside but the New Zealand-born, New York-based graphic artist has been as busy as ever. She's a creative whose long been fascinated by the visual properties and potential of text and some of her new word-based work explores these qualities in quite an abstract way. She has also just launched a set of printed sweatshirts with the AYR brand, giving some of her pattern work a new lease of life on the sternums of trendy young things the world over. Nice.
Apart from being a stark reminder of how horrible sunburn is, there really aren't any qualms worth noting about Fan Yang-Tsung's utterly unique paintings. A lot of artists seem to be inspired by swimming pools, the way they distort the lower body and send off messages of leisure, and murder, and sex. In this case, Fan Yang-Tsung has taken his watery muse and represented it in a series of images so bold that you can almost feel the chlorine up your nose. Simple colours, a good knowledge of pool-side plants and some very small paintbrushes can take you far in our books. Swimming caps off to Fan Yang-Tsung!
Now, we recognise that this isn't going to be for everyone, but if like us you can't stop thinking about the epic and beautiful The Wind Rises, then this might be right up your street. These eccentric and a eerie ceramics, which are hand-crafted by Sophie Woodrow in Bristol, are a perfect match for any Studio Ghibli lover: one little guy even looks like he's tumbled straight out of The Cat Returns. They're an odd bunch, but they make us smile, and it's nice to know that you can own your own little No-Face if you like, or at least a creature that could be his distant cousin.
The words "urban art" don't often conjure up images of spectacular, ground-breaking installations in my mind, rather dodgy tags on piss-stained walls behind the local supermarket. In this case though, urban artist SpY has made something worth writing home about. MOON is an enormous, lit crescent moon that hangs suspended over a plaza in Lausanne by an enormous crane. In the day it looks ghostly and sad, then when night comes and the lights get switched on (I'm always so envious of the people who get to turn really big lights on) it becomes something pretty magical indeed. Check out more of his genuinely enjoyable "urban art" over here and over on his site.
Hand-painted book covers give that rare pleasure that comes when two seemingly unrelated genres collide, and this only gets greater when several very different creative minds come together to create them too. Such is the case where Rebekah Miles' collaboration with fashion house Rodarte is involved.
If like me you spent a large chunk of your teenage Saturdays sticking price tags to near worthless objects armed with nothing but a price-gun and a roll of orange stickers, you'll feel a warm wave of nostalgia at seeing BL76's work. The mysteriously named French artist creates large-scale artworks with nothing but the tiny labels.
For the first time ever today, I found myself bemoaning the lack of a "pyrography" category on the site, and for that unusual and actually quite pleasant issue I have Jarmila Mitríková and Dávid Demjanovič to thank. The Slovakian duo are masters of their medium, the very original pyrography, in which a tiny red hot nib is used to mark pieces of plywood with ornate patterns, which are then coloured in with wood dyes. It's perhaps most commonly applied in a year nine woodwork lesson, but they've completely subverted their tools using it instead to create large scale beautiful folkloric images about subjects including marching flagellations, children playing with bears in mountain landscapes and women falconers proudly supporting their birds of prey. For their originality and their mastery of their craft Jarmila and Dávid easily win pats on backs.
This may not be for everyone, but if you've ever lay on your bed listening to Pink Floyd, or slept in the woods overnight with your friends, or smoked weed, or play video games (let's face it, all those things tend to go together) you might be into this. We came across this work by Hirō Isono on Melt, the blog of famous Australian image-maker and graphic designer Leif Podhajsky. Melt is an absolute treasure trove of retro, psychedelic artwork and artists who have contributed to some of the trippier album covers in history and is added to by Leif and a whole bunch of other fantastic and like-minded artists. Whoever came across this succulent work by the late video game designer Hirō should be praised, this is exactly the kind of thing I want to look at and learn about forever.
As May begins and we start to edge towards some semblance of summer, galleries across London start to wheel out a host of exciting and engaging exhibitions. Today sees the opening of one such show, with artist Von's new work on display at KK Outlet. To truly appreciate the skill that goes into Von's painstaking pencil drawings you really need to get up close and personal with them and Elsewhere shows off his skills at their finest.
It's been four whole years since we last posted about Paul Wackers, and four years is the same amount of time it takes to be conceived, gestate, be born, and learn to walk and talk, so it makes sense that he's also created truckloads of new work in that time. I don't know what the images are of, exactly; often collage, usually mixed media and occasionally reminiscent of a lovely interior complete with houseplants and bunting. The beauty of this work, though, is that you don't need to know. Each piece makes perfect sense on its own, having achieved a playful kind of balance not entirely dissociated from, art, graphics or illustration. Cheers to you Paul!

Enough is Enough: Legislators should cast their vote for the taxpayers
By Robert E. Macdonald
Mayor of Lewiston
Starting next week, this column will deal with economic development, train service and the improvement of our inner city neighborhood. What will not be in the mix is welfare.
Why? Because it is crystal clear that this issue is not that important to the citizens of Lewiston-Auburn.
Governor's Address: Contact your legislators about eliminating the income tax
My bill to eliminate the Maine income tax would make sure it never comes back. This would put 1.2 billion dollars in the pockets of working Mainers.
Dear Maine Taxpayer,
Eliminating the income tax is the largest wage increase Mainers could get. You work hard for your money, you earned it and you should keep it.

By Robert E. Macdonald

(This was my initial entry into the Fan-Fic tournament organised by @irishlad that sadly died due to many, many factors. Rated MA, owned by DC)
New Gotham, 2033
Batman looked down on broken, bleeding and battered face of a very old man. Batman held him by the collar and dangled him over the edge of One Gotham Center. The man squirmed in the rock hard grip.
"How's your mother?" he panted, blood burbling on his lips.
Batman's eyes narrowed, his teeth audibly ground together as his mind went back to the day that Talia al Ghul died...
Acme Chemical Plant, Gotham, 2013
Damian Wayne spun his katana round in his fingers, his Robin cloak bristling in the breeze as he sized up the four opponents. They were his mother's Man-Bat ninja's but filled full of Venom and Joker poison.
"Stop hiding behind my mother's playthings!" yelled Damian as he launched his assault "Face me like a man!"
A full belly laugh echoed through the chamber as the Man-Bat's and Damian fought. He tried to follow the no killing policy his father had attempted to drill into him, but since Nobody's death, it was harder and harder to rein it in. The katana sliced open the winged membrane as he ducked and weaved between the quartet, using his size and agility against the hulking drug-infused attackers.
"They were useless when they were simply Man-Bat's" scoffed Damian as he took out the eye of one and smashed a handful of gas capsules into the mouth of another "What makes you think drugging them will…" Damian stopped as the claw ripped across his chest, tearing away the Kevlar Robin emblem leaving red gashes on his bare flesh.
"Kiiiiii-yaaaa!" Damian drove the katana up into the soft underside of the Man-Bat's chin and right through the skull. He kicked the convulsing corpse away to deal with the remaining wounded trio. Damian pummelled a Man-Bat about the face with his escrima sticks, weapons he once mocked Dick about, as his foot broke the jaw of another. Damian was like a tornado of pain flipping between his enemies taking them out with an attrition of blows.
"Batman would've been here by now!" mocked a hollow voice that echoed through the plant.
"SHUT UP!" Damian jammed an escrima stick into the throat of the broken jawed Man-Bat, wedging it in his trachea. He flung a set of bolas entangling another as he leapt and jump-kicked it in the sternum, shattering the ribcage. Damian landed and glared at the final Man-Bat.
"I am Damian Wayne! Son of the Batman and Talia al Ghul, grandson of demon's head! Stand down or die!"
The engorged Man-Bat shrieked and took to the air, hovered and zeroed in on the brightly coloured boy.
"TT" said Damian as he took out a batarang and lashed a grapple cord to the end. The Man-Bat power-dived down towards him. Damian ducked, the talons shredding his cape. Damian flung the batarang, looping around the Man-Bat's feet and quick tied the end to the railing. The Man-Bat came to a spine jolting halt, swung in an arc and crashed into the underside of the elevated platform. Damian brushed himself off and pulled the katana out with a sickening pop.
"Release my mother Joker, and I'll kill you quickly" yelled Damian as he stormed towards the vat room door and kicked it open. Dangling by a chain noose was Talia al Ghul, his mother.
"MOTHER!" he charged forward to free her when WHAM! A large boot caught him across the stomach sending him flying backwards.
"You really think the Joker is capable of kidnapping the daughter of Ra's al Ghul?"
Damian wheezed and looked up at David Cain, master assassin who stepped from the shadows.
"It was quite easy to make you think the Joker did all this." he laughed as he drew a set of wicked knives from his belt "After all that trouble he gave you recently. Plus this location of course."
"Release my mother!" ordered Damian as he got to his feet.
"I intend to, but not how you'd like little bat" Cain pulled a lever and Talia fell several feet before jerking to a sudden stop. She gasped for air like a landed fish. "You should've accepted my offer?"
"To have sex with Cassandra!" yelled Damian hurling a handful of flash-bang rounds into the air "I'm ten, you sicko!"
Damian lashed out at Cain, the elder assassin parrying and commenting "Hapkido! Kung-Fu! Krav Maga! He even taught you Sambo!" Cain grabbed Damian by the arm and flipped him across the room "There's 127 martial ar…"
Damian kipped up to his feet "Actually 128!" He clicked open his extendable bo staff "The last one's called Kicken-Yur-Ass!" Damian vaulted off the staff and superman punched Cain right in the mouth taking him by surprise.
"Yours and Cassandra's child would be the Ultimate Weapon. She the child of Shiva and myself; you the son of Batman and the house of al Ghul" Cain's knife split open the back of Damian's hand "Trained by me to be death incarnate!"
Damian threw another impressive series of strikes; all blocked or dodged "I'm TEN! I like teasing Pennyworth and punching the crap out of bad guys! Pennyworth aint here!" Damian pulled out a batarang from his belt and jammed the point through Cain's foot, pinning him to the floor "Stick around!"
He ran for the chain holding his mother when gunfire rang out. Damian leapt to the side, tucked and rolled out of the way as the bullets pinged around the metal pipes. Cain ripped the batarang out of the wound and reloaded a fresh magazine into his pistol.
"You may be only ten but you fight like a professional" commended Cain.
Damian stepped out of the shadows, scooped up his staff and broke it across the nose of Cain with a sickening crack! "You're dead old man!"
Damian hit the floor as the bullet whistled over his head "Gotta be quicker than that"
Cain smiled through the curtain of blood on his face "I wasn't aiming…for you"
Damian turned to see the chain splinter and Talia al Ghul plummeted into the vat of bubbling chemicals with a splash.
New Gotham 2033
"She didn't survive the Lazarus Pit, Cain" stated Batman hauling the old man so as to be eyeball to eyeball "You killed my mother!"
"Technically, you did!" laughed Cain through his broken old teeth "If you hadn't of ducked…"
"Poor choice, of last words!" with that Batman launched the aged assassin out into the abyss. He silently watched as he fell to the street, splattered like an overripe melon, then being run over by a refrigeration truck that had no chance of stopping. Batman spat and glared down at the horror scene that took twenty years to finalise.
Batman stood on the building as the wind flapped around his trench coat, waiting until the bat-drone locked on his position and whisked him off. He silently sat inside the drone, his eyes staring at nothing in particular. Finally the drone arrived back at his cave and he exited, ripped off his mask and fell to his knees bawling. Damian Wayne slammed his fists into the cold rock floor and howled like a baby for his mother.

1. Carolina - QB Blaine Gabbert, Missouri
Ultimately I think Ron Rivera & Co. are going to look at other teams like the Rams and Falcons, and be too tempted to think they can turn around their fortunes with a new QB to go with Clausen for another year. Gabbert is a better long-term prospect than Clausen, but I'm not sure he's going to pay the immediate dividends. But he has a big arm and the upside to be a factor in a suddenly QB-stacked NFC South.
2. Denver - DT Nick Fairley, Auburn
With the hiring of John Fox and their move to a 4-3 scheme, the Broncos are going to need to find ways to generate a pass rush. Dumervil should provide that on the outside, but they lack any viable options on the inside since they have base 3-4 personnel. Fairiley is a disruptive, dynamic interior player that would be a welcome addition to one of the league's weakest defenses in 2010.
3. Buffalo - DE Da'Quan Bowers, Clemson
The Bills have proved without a doubt that they believe in the best player available drafting philosophy with their selection of C.J. Spiller last year. Bowers likely fits into that mold. The Bills defense was atrocious last year, and while they could certainly use help up front and at quarterback, they have enough faith in those positions with current personnel to think they could be willing to wait until the 2nd and 3rd rounds to address those spots. Bowers has the potential to play either DE or OLB in a 3-4 scheme because of his size and athletic potential.
4. Cincinnati - WR A.J. Green, Georgia
The emergence of Carlos Dunlap late in the season means that their need for a pass rusher is not as high. And with Bowers off the board, wide receiver becomes the obvious pick. Both starters are likely gone and they are going to need a playmaker and go-to weapon for Carson Palmer on the outside. Green is a Randy Moss-clone and that alone makes him a nice fit in Cincinnati.
5. Arizona - OT Tyron Smith, USC
I think the Cardinals are going to address the main thrust of their quarterback position with a veteran addition in the off-season, which frees them up to address other needy spots with their top pick. Getting whoever is throwing the ball some more time is one of those needs. Smith has the potential to play either side of the line which gives him value playing opposite Levi Brown.
6. Cleveland - WR Julio Jones, Alabama
The Browns need playmakers on the outside, and Jones gives them that. He has the size, speed combo to be one of the premier go-to options in the league and should be a nice security blanket for Colt McCoy going forward.
7. San Francisco - QB Jake Locker, Washington
With head man Jim Harbaugh now in charge, the 49ers certainly will be looking at acquiring a franchise-caliber passer. Harbaugh's familiarity with Locker from the Pac-10 days makes him a good fit based on who is available.
8. Tennessee - QB Ryan Mallett, Arkansas
With their decision to give up on Vince Young, the Titans will be in the market for another quarterback to develop. Mallett is the big-armed passer that they will like that fits in their offense similarly to Kerry Collins. His ability to throw the ball down the field will mesh well with their receivers like with Kenny Britt.
9. Dallas - CB Patrick Peterson, LSU
A premier corner such as Peterson falls to the Cowboys. Peterson gives them a big body that has the speed and ability to match up with the premier receivers in the NFC, as well as another explosive option to use on special teams. Jerry Jones loves athletes, and Peterson is about as good as they come.
10. Washington - DE Marcell Dareus, Alabama
Dareus will be expected to be the player that Haynesworth was so unwilling to be. He can excel as a pass rusher in a 3-4 scheme at defensive end and help improve a weak defense up front.
11. Houston - CB Prince Amukamara, Nebraska
The Texans probably will use free agency to address their needs at this position, but another draft pick wouldn't hurt as they are in a division that features Peyton Manning and all the help they can get in the secondary makes a ton of sense. Amukamara is a good press corner that is a similar prospect to Nnamdi Asomugha.
12. Minnesota - DE Robert Quinn, North Carolina
Assuming the Vikings can address their QB concerns with a veteran, then that leaves them free to pass up on a player like Cam Newton and take a needed pass rusher like Quinn to replace Ray Edwards opposite Allen and continue the strong defensive line play that the Vikings have featured in recent years.
13. Detroit - CB Brandon Harris, Miami
The Lions need help in their secondary, especially at the cornerback position as they continue to add pieces on that side of the ball.
14. St. Louis - RB Mark Ingram, Alabama
The Rams drafted Steven Jackson when Marshall Faulk had one more year left in the tank. The same could be said about Jackson now, so adding a player like Ingram and grooming him for a year should pay similar dividends over the next 5+ years.
15. Miami - S Rahim Moore, UCLA
A player like Cam Newton may have looked very attractive to them a year or so ago, but the failure of Pat White likely has them leery. So instead they address another trouble spot by taking Moore, a ball-hawking free safety that they've wanted for a while now.
16. Jacksonville - QB Cam Newton, Auburn
Despite a strong year from Garrard, the value of taking a talent like Newton and then grooming him for at least a year or two is too much. He'll have the opportunity to sit and learn from a player like Garrard, whocame into the league with a similar skillset.
17. New England (from Oakland) - OLB Von Miller, Texas A&M
The Patriots have to upgrade their defense, and adding a pass rusher of Miller's caliber should go a long way to hlep in those areas.
18. San Diego - DE J.J. Watt, Wisconsin
The Chargers could use some more beef up front, and Watt has the size, high motor, and potential to be an impact run defender as a 3-4 defensive end.
19. N.Y. Giants - OLB Martez Wilson, Illinois
Wilson is a versatile, athletic linebacker that is reminiscent of Karlos Dansby, a player they were reportedly interested in last off-season. Wilson can play inside or outside in the Giants scheme, although their immediate need is probably outside since Clint Sintim has been a bust.
20. Tampa Bay - DE Aldon Smith, Missouri
A clear weakness for the Bucs is their lack of pass rush. Smith is a high-upside, super athletic pass rusher that had the potential to be a Top 10 pick had he stayed in a school a few more years.
21. Seattle - CB Aaron Williams, Texas
While the Seahawks have a lot of issues that need to be dealt with, their pass defense is one of those areas that could use major improvement as far as matchups go. Williams is a good fit because of his ability to play inside and outside, as well as having teh size and speed to match up with any receiver the Seahawks may see in the future.
22. Kansas City - WR Torrey Smith, Maryland
While they got a ton of production from Dwayne Bowe this year, their need for another explosive threat on the outside is too glaring to pass up on a player like Smith at this point. Smith has good size, speed, and can stretch the defense in a manner similar to Roddy White.
23. Indianapolis - OT Derek Sherrod, Mississippi State
The Colts neglected their O-line last off-season. They probably can't afford to do that again this year.
24. Philadelphia - OLB Akeem Ayers, UCLA
Ayers is a superb athlete that has the versatility to play the run, pass, and rush the passer, everything the Eagles rare looking for on the outside.
25. New Orleans - DE Ryan Kerrigan, Purdue
The Saints need to get better on defense, and a lot of that improvement can be made if they get better pass rushers up front. Kerrigan fits in very well for them at left end.
26. Chicago - OT Nate Solder, Colorado
Solder needs some work, but he has the potential to play either side of the line in the pros, and should be a major step in the right direction for the Bears offense.
27. N.Y. Jets - OLB Justin Houston, Georgia
The Jets need to find better ways to generate a pass rush, and Houston is a good fit for that.
28. Baltimore - WR Jon Baldwin, Pittsburgh
The Ravens need more explosive weapons on offense, and Baldwin is a big receiver with vertical speed that can help add a big play element to their game.
29. Pittsburgh - OT Gabe Carimi, Wisconsin
Questions abound on whether Carimi can play left tackle in the pros, but his size and physicality as a run blocker make him a good fit in Pittsburgh.
30. Atlanta - DE Adrian Clayborn, Iowa
The Falcons need to generate a pass rush was apparent in their playoff loss to the Packers. Clayborn had a down senior year, but has shown enough in previous years to think he has a chance to be a top NFL player.
31. Green Bay - DE Cameron Jordan, California
Jordan is a good fit to help the Packers up front at DE, as he should be able to make a smooth transition from Cal's 3-4 scheme to the pros.
32. New England - DE Cameron Heyward, Ohio State
Their need to find a suitable replacement for Richard Seymour up front makes Heyward a good choice who has similar size, strength, and motor.

Re: Another mock draft 1/16
Pudge thanks for updating your mock. If Peterson slid to the 9th spot it would be an absolute steal and to all place the Cowboys. I see the corners you like in Harris and williams would be gone and the def ends Smith and Kerrigan by the Falcon's pick. I think Clayborn would be a good pick for the Falcon's and could develop into a nice player. He may have just had an off year and sometimes it pays off drafting a player like that he could be a prize. I'm for making the Falcon's better and just by the swiss cheese defense we showed last night I guess we would pass on some good off skilled players. Rudolph if he recovers 100% and can run a 4.6 40 would be incredibly tempting to draft.
Right now corners and def ends we need to upgrade as the immediate needs. I think will do this by combination draft and free agency. Grimes played well most of the year but we saw again with the bigger Packer receivers he has limits. It's to bad we gave a ton of money to D Robinson now that the Raider corner will be on the market. I do wonder though as the defense looked last night will Arthur open the check book up and go out and get a legit shutdown corner in the Raiders corner have Grimes or Robinson at the other and leftover the slot? Will certainly add another corner whether free agency or draft and Owens will either be special teams or cut.
I think the Packers will be a force for a long time thus we need bigger corners a better pass rush and overall more star players. If you want to win the big prize then you need to look to see who might be in your way and Green Bay is one of those clubs along with the Saints, Giants,Bears and up and coming Tampa. Teams who stand pat hoping their young players will be the answer and do nothing else stand to lose ground vs other teams. We know the weaknesses of the Falcon's and TD will have to find better talent for the team to compete yearly.

Sometimes running the Mularkey offense makes me feel like I'm in a prison.

Despite the name Purple Finch, the male of the species has more of a raspberry coloring than purple on its upper body. The female Purple Finch does not have the purple coloring, having a color that is more able to blend into the environment when she is nesting.
During the winter, a Purple Finch can often be spotted at bird feeders among the throngs attempting to get nourishment when blossoms, fruits and insects are not available.
A Purple Finch will feed on fruit seeds and flowering buds and blossoms. This species is also known to eat insects.

Teacher Brilliantly Shows Kids What Happens When They Post Photos of Themselves Online
A fifth grade teacher wanted to show her class what happens when you put photos of yourselves online so she did it in a way they'll never forget.
As BuzzFeed notes, she posted a photo of herself to Facebook and asked everyone who saw the photo to click "like" to show her students just how quickly your image can spread around the web.
And what a lesson it was! Within hours the photo was on Reddit and, well, you know what happened after that, right?
Say it with me, folks: PHOTOSHOP.
Lots and lots of photoshop …
I think even the teacher ended up learning her own little lesson.
The moral of this story is: don't post a photo on the Internet if you don't want roughly 1/3 of the world seeing it. And photoshopping it.
Her photo started out on Facebook, jumped to Reddit and on to BuzzFeed and a million other websites, being photoshopped all along the way.
It can happen you. And your kids. Pass it on.

Texas CPS
Jurisdiction / State: Texas
Here is the situation.
I have two friends that are married with a 5yr old child. Someone, "a family member" called CPS on them for Marijuana.
Case worker comes on New Years eve around 5pm to take the child, there was no marijuana in the house, no smoking utensils visible, only the admitting of smoking by my two friends.
CPS put them in the programs and started sending them to classes.
They administered the drug test knowing that they were going to fail.
A month later they administered another drug test and again, the female failed due to not enough time getting out of her system.
Months later she failed a drug test that was given due to accidentally smoking tobacco out of a dirty pipe. it register as a 0.003% THC rating.
After failing 3 drug tests ( 2 which were certain to fail ) they court ordered her to rehab for 2 months ( in treatment ).
She is not the strongest person mentally and could not handle being locked up in treatment so she left. Now they are saying there are no other options and she is going to loose rights as a parent. They are also talking about putting a restraining order against her to see her child.
It has been going on for 6 months now and they have not given her much of a chance, she has been judged and treated unfairly since it began.
My question is, is there any chance of her lawyer getting her another option, as in maybe out patcient treatment at a rehab and counseling? A type of probation rather than being locked up in rehab. She has a history of mild phycological problems.
I am a friend seeing advise as I am being pulled into the middle of the situation because I am providing housing for one of the members.
Please help and send advise my way... I need all I can get... Thank you....

Who has the child now?
If she wants custody back she must finish her case plan end of story. If she refused to comply and go through treatment, she may see her rights terminated.
CPS handles marijuana in each state a little different. I for one do not think it is a huge deal but apparantly your friend and her hubby smoke it way too much for having a 5 yr old plus if she drives impaired on it, that is just like driving drunk.I am not an attorney. Do not consider this legal advice.
