Best Place To Stay In Napa
How to plan for a Trip To Napa
Planning a trip to Napa sounds pretty basic. After all, most of the daytime activities are a given—journey from winery to winery in search of your new favorite cabernet, experience the quaint atmosphere of a community built around an industry of vineyards, and savor the scenic surroundings as you sip on syrah. It's that simple, really, until it's time to retire for the evening and rejuvenate for the next day's excursion.

Welcome to the web site of the Interfederal Centre for Equal Opportunities and the Federal Centre of Migration.
This report is the first of its kind to be compiled by the new Federal Centre for the Analysis of Migration Flows, the Protection of Fundamental Rights of Foreigners and the Fight against Human Trafficking. It is presented in a different format than in previous years. This is in response to the request by the European Commission Anti-Trafficking Coordinator to compose the national reports according to a specific model or template.
In 2014, the Centre for Equal Opportunities and Opposition to Racism will be transformed into an Interfederal Centre for Equal Opportunities and a Federal Migration Centre.
The Centre for Equal Opportunities and Opposition to Racism (the Centre) has published its sixteenth annual report on trafficking in and smuggling of human beings this year. In 1995, the law against human trafficking gave the Centre a new mission: "«to stimulate the fight against human trafficking". Hence, well before the international institutions demanded it, this law actually created a mechanism that acts as a "national rapporteur for human trafficking".
The annual activity report of the Centre for Equal Opportunities and Opposition to Racism for the year 2012 has been published. In addition to this activity report, the Centre will publish an 'Annual Report on Discrimination/Diversity' (in May 2013), an 'Annual Report on Migration' (in June 2013) and an 'Annual Report on the Trade and Trafficking in Human Beings' (in October 2013). In this way the Centre is not only fulfilling its legal duty to report on its activities, but also intends to fuel debate on discrimination, diversity, migration and human trafficking.

While I am sympathetic to your point of view, I still disagree.
Europe is not magical. There is a significant homelessness problem in France, for example. The French unemployment rate has been higher than the USA unemployment rate for every single year since 1948. (Yes, there are differences in the way unemployment is calculated, but France has had higher unemployment even when statistics are correlated).
Taking your assertions one by one:
Since 2008, The USA has offered 53 weeks of full unemployment benefits when a person looses a job. That is actually quite generous even by European standards.
USA healthcare is not the "worst healthcare system in the world" by any measure. In 2000, the USA was rated 38th. Belgium was rated 21. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W.... The USA has presumably improved since 2000 with more people covered by insurance etc.

See Also Enterprise CrewSee Also Enterprise A CrewSee Also Enterprise E CrewOriginThe crew of the Federation Galaxy Class Starship Enterprise D (NCC-1701-D) existed seven years and was almost completely under the command of Captain Picard. The main officers of the Enterprise changed very little in that time before it was destroyed when it was attacked by a rouge Klingon cruiser.CreationThe crew of the Enterprise was created by Gene Roddenberry for the Star Trek: the Next Generation television show. Roddenberry wanted a larger ship than the original Enterprise. It was double in size with a compliment of over a thousand, compared to the the Original that had a compliment of four-hundred and thirty.Team EvolutionYar's last standThe team of the Enterprise changed very little in the seven years it existed. The crew started out with a core group of officers. Jean-Luc Picard Captain, William Riker First Officer, Data, Second Officer, Deanna Troi Councilor, Beverly Crusher Chief Medical Officer, Natasha Yar Secruity Cheif, Worf, Geordi LaForge and Miles O'Brien. O'Brien was most likely a Non-Commissioned Officer. There seemed to be a staff of chief engineers of a revolving door of Chief Engineers as the position changed as least three times during the first year of the Enterprise D's Mission. Wesley Crusher also made acting Ensign at this time.After the first year of service Yar was killed in the line of duty and Beverly Crusher left the crew to work at Starfleet Medical. Kathrine Pulaski took over a Chief Medical Officer. Worf was promoted as Chief of Security and LaForge was promoted to Chief of Engineering. In the the third year of the Enterprise D's mission Reginald Barclay joined the crew. Barkley looked to have a short career on the Flagship of the Federation but soon proved to be a very valuble officer and stayed onboard until the ship was destroyed. One year la W. Crusher was promoted to full Ensign and went of to Starfleet Academy.In the fifth year of the Enterprise D's mission Ensign Ro Laren was added to the crew despite her being court martialed previously. She stayed on in the sixth year of the mission but left for special training at about the same O'Brien left for his new position on the Deep Space Nine Space Station. In the last year on the mission Ro came back only to leave the Federation on her first mission.

As per reports, it has been revealed that a new marine park will be opened to protect whales on the Kimberley coast. The Camden Sound Marine Park, will be created about 300 kilometers north-east of Broome, said Premier Colin Barnett and Environment Minister Bill Marmion.
The announcement has been welcomed by environmental groups, but they have warned the authorities concerned that they should remain alert from runaway industrialization. Conservation group Environs Kimberley said that the government should be cautious about the plans of oil and gas refineries.
He further affirmed that whales and their calves can be at a great risk, if gas refinery is going to be built at James Price Point. The development of park will start from the mid of 2012 and will cover 7000 square kilometers.
"The marine park can be even better if it protects areas along the coast like the mouth of the majestic Price Regent River which is a vital habitat for the snubfin dolphin", said WWF Australia Spokesperson Paul Gamblin.
The government is spending 2.3 million for the development of park. They have also promised to spend $10 million for the protection and management of the park for four years starting from 2016.

Gear Question
Is there a place to put a water bottle...
Is there a place to put a water bottle like on the sides of the pack or elsewhere
Dwayne Vincent
There does not appear to be a mesh bottle holder or pockets for one. But a Nalgene style bottle with an attached lid, you would be able to use a strap to hold it on
Gone Fishing
Nope, it does not have the usual mesh pockets on the sides of the pack. If you really like the pack and that is stopping you I am sure you could use a carabiner to hold your Nalgene to one of the side straps.
Leta Kalfas
YES!!! There is a zip pocket specifically for a water bottle. When you open it up, it has the mesh on the inside to hold your bottle in place. Then it zips away to keep it clean! VERY COOL!

In part two of Chris Orwig's Lightroom Essentials, you'll learn how to add important metadata to your images that will help you find and filter your library, process images and video, and export, email, and share photos—all from within the powerful Library module in Adobe Lightroom. First you'll learn how to flag, rate, and rank your photos and use the information to find images that match those criteria. Then tag them with locations and add keywords and identifying information that clearly distinguish the subject and your copyright. Chris also shows you how to make image adjustments with Quick Develop, and play, trim, and edit video. Lastly, find out how to export your photographs to a hard drive, email them to friends and clients, and upload them to sharing sites like Flickr and Facebook.
So far we've taken a look at how we can work with our RAW files and edit those in Photoshop. Next I want to explore how we can edit our TIFF or PSD or JPEG files as well. Well, here in this folder we have the original RAW file right here. We also have this TIFF file, which we created in the previous movie. Now after having looked at this TIFF file, what I want to do is I want to re-open this in Photoshop and I want to modify it even further. To do that, we'll simply select the photograph. Then, navigate to the Photo > Edit In > Photoshop.
In doing this, it will open up a dialogue, which will ask up how we actually want to bring this photograph over to Photoshop. You can see that we have three different options. The top option is really good if you've worked on the image inside of Light room. In other words, let's say you brought this image to the Develop Module and you made some adjustments there. What this would do is create a copy or duplicate version of the file with any Lightroom adjustment applied. Another option is to simply create a duplicate version of the file, without any Lightroom adjustments. Or you can always just edit or open up the original file. In this case, that's what I want to do, because this photograph has simply been worked on in Photoshop.
I haven't done anything here in Lightroom. So we'll just go ahead and edit the original. Click the Edit button. And this will then open up this file inside of Photoshop. In a sense it's just like pressing an Open command. But it just called Edit In. In this case, we're editing the original file here in Photoshop. All right. Well, this file, it has a black and white adjustment layer. Just for fun, we'll create a new layer. Let's click on the Curves icon. This one will brighten the image up a little bit and darken it down. Create a little classic S curve. Just to add just a touch of contrast there.
And again, you can do whatever you need to do in Photoshop to finish off the file. Next we'll go to our File pull-down menu. Here I'll select File > Save. Then, I'll also select File > Close, which will allow me to close the file after it's been completely saved. Now, what it will do, essentially, is just save this file with the three layers, and Lightroom will know that this file exists. It will by default be part of the Lightroom catalog. The only problem that Lightroom has is when we use the save as command.
So, here let's go back to Lightroom. In Lightroom you can see that this image has now been updated. Alright. Well, let's look at a few other options in order to dig deeper into this whole topic. Here we'll select the folder which is titled Chris and here you can see I have a single PSD file. In order to open up this file again, we'll go to photo. Here, I'll choose Edit In. And then we'll select Edit in Adobe Photoshop. Again, we have a few options. We can edit the original Photoshop document. Or we could edit a copy or copy with Lightroom Adjustments.
Again, if you process the file in Lightroom, you may want to choose this option here. Yet in this case what I want to do is this file hasn't been processed in Lightroom just in Photoshop but I want to create a duplicate copy of it. So here I'll select edit a copy no need to include Lightroom adjustments because there aren't any. Then click on the edit button what this will do is bring up another version of the file here. You can see its now titled chrisdalmoro-edit. Because this is a duplicate version. And I'll click on the color balance adjustment layer icon and I'll add a little bit of red and a little bit of yellow to add a little bit of a, say, sepia tone look.
Next we'll navigate to the file pull down menu. Here we'll select save and then we'll go to the file pull down menu and select close. This will then save and close the file and we can jump back to light room here. The reason why I wanted to show you this one which is that when you create a copy you can see that you have two versions of the file. These two versions, they live right next door to each other, they are both photoshop documents... And this particular technique works with Photoshop documents, TIFF, or JPEG. It just allows you to create a copy or duplicate version of the file. Now, that being said, we didn't need to choose that option. We could always have just chosen Edit Original.
But for demo purposes, I wanted to show you what it would look like if you chose Edit a copy. All right. Well, there's how we can start to work with our Photoshop files and our TIFF files. Next, let's take a look at how we can work with the JPG file format because that will be a little bit more involved and so, I want to go ahead and do that in the next movie.

Photo: AKDN / Thomas KellyAlthough democracy has been growing in the developing world, the UN still categorises 40 percent of its member states as "failed democracies". It has become clear to many governments that successful states require more than the introduction of democratic elections and political parties. Civil society, particularly indigenous NGOs, must play a central role in promoting good governance and accountability.
"In an era of rising expectations and unmet needs, both in the developed, but much more in the developing world, civil society institutions play an essential role in the provision of social services, the protection of the marginalised and the delivery of development programmes."
His Highness the Aga Khan, speaking at the University of Toronto, Canada, on 18th June 2004But to be effective, NGOs must be well-run and well-governed themselves. They must operate under a code of ethics and governance that stresses accountability so that resources are not wasted. They must also have a quantifiable impact on development challenges, as measured against well-recognised indicators, such as infant and maternal mortality, literacy and the reduction in the incidence of disease. Increasing community participation is also vital to progress.
To help these organisations become effective and self-reliant, AKDN offers resources and training for essential administrative skills such as record-keeping, accounting and methods of good governance. It also helps communities to lobby for change by working in collaboration with other villages when liaising with the government.

Radionuclides in groundwater can exist as different species whose retention factors may be strongly different. For one-dimensional transport in a porous medium, we give conditions for the existence of equilibrium between two species. In most cases, these conditions are probably well fulfilled when time scales of geosphere transport are considered. In these cases, the total concentration migrates independently of a particular speciation with an effective retention factor. Such an effective retention factor can also be defined if more than two species in liquid phase are in equilibrium. As a consequence, existing radionuclide transport models can be readily used by properly redefining the retention factor.

I'm pretty sure the series is done, given that Derrick's been working as Art Director for Omniverse for a long while now, and I know for a fact that the UK and other markets ran their episodes on a normal schedule.
I wonder if another Scooby-Doo series is in the works.
AFAIK Cervone and Co are back to making Scooby DTV-shovelware since it ended.

The ongoing turmoil in the Middle East is keeping oil prices high and that's having an impact on gasoline prices in the U.S.
Energy prices rose 3.3 percent in February, led by a 3.7 percent increase in gasoline costs.
According to the American Automobile Association's Daily Fuel Gauge, the national average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline last week was $3.56, which was up 43 cents or 13.7 percent from a month earlier.
In some parts of the country, gas prices have topped $4 a gallon.
However, economists expect the earthquake in Japan to lower oil prices for at least one to two months.
Shoppers are finding that filling their cart at the grocery store is also proving to be more expensive. Food prices soared 3.9 percent last month, which was the biggest gain since November of 1974.
Severe weather and crop shortages are the main factors behind the jump in food prices.

So I think my next 2 investments are going to be the MRA Touring screen and Motech crash bars.
I already ordered the bag liners and have a tank bag on the way. I also have a fuse box I need to wire in along with a few weatherproof 12v power outlets. I am going to wire my radar detector in permanently (actually use it less for radar detection and more for the emergency alerts it provides. I also have my GPS that I will be mounting up...less for direction and navigation and more for the information services it provides.
I am also selling off my high end desktop replacement laptop and replacing it with an ultrabook for travel. I am considering running 12v to my top box for the laptop charger as well. Although, some of these small solar kits seem rather appealing too...
Got some plans for this beast. Looking forward to travelling as much as possible and maybe some day being able to travel most of the time...

So, now I know I wasn't the only frozen to my couch and staring bug-eyed at the screen last night, before being plagued by zombie nightmares. Deadline reports that 7.3 million people tuned in to the season two premiere of The Walking Dead, making it the most-watched single telecast in basic cable history. That means star Norman Reedus, who plays good-ol' boy Daryl, might be seeing more of the freaky fan encounters he spoke about on this morning's Big Morning Buzz Live.

"Besides people buying my address on eBay and showing up at my door — doesn't that seem illegal? — there were two very sweet Japanese girls who flew in from Tokyo, who leaned in front of me with a plastic bottle and opened it up and held it to my lips and said, 'Please blow,'" Norman recalled. "So I blew my breath into a bottle and they sealed it up on video and I signed it and they took it back to Japan."
Asked if that, too, wound up on eBay, the man also known as Lady Gaga's Judas speculated, "They're probably doing voodoo on it right now."

Previously, alcohol manufacturers infused alcohol drinks with caffeine. The net effect was to make young drinkers more alert and therefore more able to drink longer. The research was so damming that the lethal combination of caffeine infused alcohol drinks were no longer legal. This change was accomplished through the efforts of various watch dog groups and state attorney generals from across the country.
It seems to me that this victory could be a purchase from which to establish limits on the amount of alcohol allowed in a single drink. When unscrupulous tobacco manufacturers were targeting kids with their products, they were stopped. The alcohol manufacturing community is marketing to the same audience.
The tragedies connected to underage drinking are well documented and almost everyone knows a family touched by this tragic issue. These heart-wrenching tragedies are preventable; however, it will take the actions of many agencies and individuals.
Requiring alcohol retailers to age check every alcohol purchase is in place, law enforcement agencies have stepped up surveillance and enforcement activities around drinking and driving and underage drinking parties and a variety of agencies provide education to youth and their parents about the risks of underage drinking.
Perhaps it is simply time to outlaw these outrageously dangerous drinks that are being marketed to youth. I cannot think of one reason for alcohol regulators to allow the production of these lethal drinks to continue. The sale and proceeds of these lethal concoctions is an unworthy rational when balanced against the life of one young person or their family.
Remember all kids count.

Leopard-Warrior, Value render
Hi guys!
I'm student at FZD and will soon have finished my first term, where we covered all the fundamentals. While our teachers do critique our work from time to time, they don't do it with every piece and I hoped the forum could fill that lack. ^^
We have some really awesome students in class and I'm desperate to catch up to them, so please show no mercy.
The Leopard's Design is influenced by Apocalypto's Maya warriors, done in about 16 hrs. I know the dropshadow is a bit too rough.
Thank you very much for checking!

Well lets do it then.
There are some mistakes with the anatomy for a start. The arms don't seem to be the same length, the legs seem weird (especially the one behind the spear). I'd say you either need more practice or at least more work/planning on the basic anatomy. And is it me or does he have 6 fingers on his hand ?
Values need work too. The values aren't really consistent with the amount of light each part should get. Some parts are just in some shadow and are very dark, while others are even hidden from occlusion light yet aren't as dark. Also, don't be scared of having small areas either very dark or very light. It looks like he's in some shadow rather than direct sun/other light.

Hi Stephou, thank you very much!
True, the legs and arms are wierd, some mistakes were probably created cause at some point I thought of Leopard's anatomy and then switched over to human, so they are kinda mixed. The back arm is supposed to be foreshortend, I admit I'm not too sure with how its precisely done, I've tried the cylinder method but I need a lot more practice with it. And wow I actually painted 6 fingers on his hand, I could slap myself for that one. ^^ Dunno how that could happen...
Anyway could you please specify which parts have inconsistent value? I think a reason why it looks kinda wierd is because most of his legs are hidden by the coreshadow of the torso and hand, and also darkened by a black bottom to top gradient for top down light. I'm not sure if it's supposed to look like that.
Thanks for your help!
September 21st, 2013 #4
Hi, (never too late you're welcome.
About the 6 fingers thing, I've seen a much more embarassing case of it, so don't worry.
As for the legs and arms, just do simple lines to represent the bones. It's simple yet very effective because it forces you to go on until you get things correctly.
Well even though there is a main light source, it will bounce all around. Everything around your character becomes a new light source, which obviously has much lower intensity. Even your character is a light source. This light causes a whole new set of lights and shadows, that are much softer of course. Areas that are hidden from it will be darker, while areas exposed will be lighter. You did it for the shadow on the ground so you seem to know about it.
What is also to be taken into account are things like fur that reflect light alot. You did get the whiskers correctly, but they aren't the only "hair" that will reflect light strongly. Fur in direct sunlight will tend to have at least small parts of it that will be very bright. It just requires the correct angle.
Here's some paint over to give you an idea. The - areas are too dark, the + areas are too light. Also gave a suggestion for the arm.
So what I'd recommend is searching for pictures online (or using some real subject) to find out different light effects that can happen. Then just try and recreate these effects yourself. You can use this picture to try different light sources for example.

Since you are at Feng Zhu's school, I'm sure they teach you an approach like this. Try to just do a simple wireframe over it, like just using basic forms. It will make your job much easier, and tell you how to render it. Right now you are losing sight of the larger masses and are too busy with the spots and hairs. Get the big forms in. He is posed a bit awkwardly, and he has no real neck. Try to resolve these issues first, then work on detailing. Be careful with things like his tail looking like a part of his weapon too. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much both of you for taking the time!
Yeah they did indeed teach us an approach like this. The difficulty for me sometimes is to keep up the priority line eg. Perspective>Anatomy/Proportions>Design>Detailing, especially under time pressure.
Anyway your corrections are very helpfu1!

Works great for camping
By Bill da Burner
from SW Florida
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Cen-Tech 80 Watt Continuous/160 Watt Peak Power Inverter:
I use this inverter along with HF's 38391 Jump Starter when camping with friends, to provide 120v AC to power LED Christmas lights to light up port-o-lets at night. As the typical LED light string consumes less than 5 watts, one of these inverters can easiy power multiple light strings and light up multiple potties for the entire weekend.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

No light in my rental storage unit. Pull my car up to the door as usual and run 20ft extension cord to a 26 watt fluorescent drop light inside. More than ample light to see my stuff.

Only one complaint
By MrMike
from Utah
I purchased this inverter to use on a road trip to charge my laptop. The little inverter did a great job. The USB port also worked great. My only complaint with this little inverter is the fan. It turns on as soon as there is power to the inverter and runs continuously. At high speeds and with the radio on it is not very noticeable. However, if you come to a stoplight or are traveling at moderate speeds, the fan noise is annoying. I also wonder how quickly the fan would drain the battery as it never stops. Nobody has commented on the fan noise so maybe I got a bad unit or maybe they have poor hearing? Either way, I returned it because of the fan noise and got the other inverter with the coiled plug. (item 66944) This unit is completely quiet when plugged in. The fan only comes on when it warms up and then turns off once it has cooled down again. Buy it if you need a compact inverter and don't mind the noise. If you don't like the sound of a hairdryer in the next room don't buy it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

So, pop a bottle of wine and enjoy these (should be) classics.
Trippy, echoing sound effects give "A Brain In A bottle" a sense of fullness and dimension—as they do for "Guess Again!"
When he awoke, he told Remes, doctors gave him two options: drink a bottle of Ensure or be force-fed.
mid-14c., originally of leather, from Old French boteille (12c., Modern French bouteille), from Vulgar Latin butticula, diminutive of Late Latin buttis "a cask," which is perhaps from Greek. The bottle, figurative for "liquor," is from 17c.
1640s, from bottle (n.). Related: Bottled; bottling.

Earthenware vessels were also similarly used (Jer. 19:1-10; 1 Kings 14:3; Isa. 30:14). In Job 32:19 (comp. Matt. 9:17; Luke 5:37, 38; Mark 2:22) the reference is to a wine-skin ready to burst through the fermentation of the wine. "Bottles of wine" in the Authorized Version of Hos. 7:5 is properly rendered in the Revised Version by "the heat of wine," i.e., the fever of wine, its intoxicating strength. The clouds are figuratively called the "bottles of heaven" (Job 38:37). A bottle blackened or shrivelled by smoke is referred to in Ps. 119:83 as an image to which the psalmist likens himself.

It has become clear that the misinformation and hysterics by anti-nuclear groups and individuals were mostly wrong. Their doomsday prophesizing actually worsened human suffering and...[read more]

Today's Poetry
I Beome Elysium (from Mythos)
I Become Elysium
Your words levitate me
And lift me
Above morality
I become Elysium
When your lightning strikes me
Sustain my body, my mind
Nectar from a god
Manna from a cloud
Drifting above this wanderer
Priest of consciousness yet to be
Pilgrim in this world
Reluctant resident
Dance naked and holy
Move to sacred drums
Only the chosen of Dionysus
Graces of gods past possess you
Memory dwells in your breath
Ferry my being, unchain me
Do not leave me to whither
On the barren plains of dying worlds
As you take your place in the temple hall
Among marble sages
I will be ghosted
And bring amaranth
To lay at your feet
As Apollo dons his chariot
To bring dawn to the worlds
Each day

Littlejohn Contemporary Hosts Timothy Hawkesworth Exhibition, 2/16-3/12
LittleJohn Contemporary is pleased to present Work That Will Not Wait For You, an exhibition of paintings and drawings by Irish-born Timothy Hawkesworth. The exhibition is Hawkesworth's 7th solo show at LittleJohn Contemporary and will be on view at 529 West 20th Street in New York from February 16 through March 12, 2011.
Timothy Hawkesworth has long made disintegration and death the themes of his vigorous, battered, chaotic, yet deeply touching and humanistic works of art. A gifted writer as well as painter, Hawkesworth has written about how he creates his work, often through a difficult and frustrating process of "making and unmaking" an image. His process includes applying thin layers of wax and pigment, as well as burning.
In the "unmaking" phase, he makes no attempt to erase a mistake or strive for perfection; rather, he digs deeper, with an ever-increasing urgency, to the very core of memory. Hawkesworth doesn't dwell on the tragic aspects of what it means to be human. Instead, he layers his paintings and drawings with his own and communal histories. In so doing, in the words of Aiden Dunne, art critic for Irish Times, "he infuses his historical terrain with tremendous generative potential." (2006)
Hawkesworth is fearless, willing to expose his own vulnerability, frailty, and awkwardness; he demands the same of the viewer. There is little in the way of obvious
symbolism or reference points to aid in the viewing of his art.

Chicago Tribune slams Illinois regulators
By Jesse Berst
The Chicago Tribune took sides in the ongoing slapfest over ComEd's troubled grid modernization efforts. As you may recall, the $3.2 billion program was passed by the Illinois State Legislature over the veto of Gov. Pat Quinn.
In an editorial, the Tribune claims that the Governor now has his regulators doing his dirty work, writing that "it looks now as though his appointees to the Illinois Commerce Commission are trying, in effect, to uphold his veto" by blocking the investments.
The ICC has blocked ComEd on a dozen technical issues that, all told, are worth about $100 million to the utility. ComEd says it can't proceed unless it can reap most of that revenue. The utility is pressing for the ICC to reverse itself on two primary issues, which account for about two-thirds of the $100 million. With those concessions, it could proceed. Otherwise, it says it will have to wait several years to get started.

Art Can Be Found Anywhere
When we think of art, we typically think of an oil canvas painting hanging in a museum. This week, we challenged students to expand their notion of art and to identify it in everyday places like a subway station wall.
Graffiti is an Art Form Only in Certain Cases
Chances are you've spotted the bright, vibrant colors out of the corner of your eye, splashed across the wall by graffiti artists for everyone to see, but are these pieces a form of art or an act of vandalism? Within the past couple of weeks, students across the nation discussed the value of graffiti in our #DoNowGraffiti post. We asked students, Describe the graffiti you see in your community. What stands out to you about it? Take a picture of graffiti art in your town and tweet it to us with your thoughts. Is it valuable? Do you want to see more or less graffiti in your neighborhood? What makes graffiti "good" or "bad"?

Street artist Olek works in the medium of crochet, covering landmarks, cars, people, and even freight trains a colorful camouflage pattern that is often infused with strong statements, sometimes of a political nature.

Football Presenter @DavidJonesSky
Jason Brown and Brendon Batson want equality but have different ideas of how to achieve it, says David Jones
David Jones says he was enthralled by Jason Brown and Brendon Batson's race debate on The FF Show.
Last Updated: 31/10/12 2:40pm
It was an interesting twist to the race debate which is too often simplified as black on one side and white on the other. Here were two men demanding equality but totally split about how best to achieve it.
Brown burns with injustice and impatience for change, while Batson reasons with the calm, borne of decades within football administration.
It's often asked 'what happens when we go to a commercial break in the middle of a contentious debate?' Well I can tell you last week the conversation continued back and forth until the floor manager called for quiet as we came on air again!
Shebby Singh was often caught in the crossfire. Blackburn's global advisor had agreed to join us a week earlier before settling on this date and must have wondered what he'd stepped into.
Malay born and bred but with a heritage from India's Punjab, Shebby had much to say on the race debate and every other subject we covered.
Much has been said about his influence on the Blackburn's Indian owners and his football credentials - he told me the Venkys spotted his talents while working as a TV pundit in Asia - but I found him hugely knowledgeable in our conversations away from the cameras.
Clearly Singh has an excellent understanding of English football and those who work in it, as has already been shown by his attempt to interview some top young coaches for the vacant Blackburn manager's job.
Singh's current dilemma is the type of man to go for: the up-and-coming star which he is drawn to, or the proven experience which the Rovers fans seem to crave?
Blackburn's search is almost a month long but Singh is aware this decision will probably be the most important he makes at the club and he has to get it right. I wish him luck and would welcome him back on the show.
This week we invite Paul Elliott, Gary McAllister and Keith Curle into the studio where, no doubt, the fallout from an extraordinary afternoon at Stamford Bridge will dominate the agenda.
And then for me it's onto Old Trafford for Saturday's showdown between Manchester United and Arsenal, where hopefully we'll be talking football!

Stalin A Biography (Paperback)
|Author: Robert Service
Learn more about Stalin:
|The first full-scale biography of Stalin in twenty years reveals the complex and fascinating story of the Soviet dictator, from his dysfunctional childhood in Soviet Georgia, through his education and early political activism, to his tyrannical control over the Soviet Union and the legacy of his reign. *Author: Service, Robert *Subtitle: A Biography *Publication Date: 2006/10/31 *Number of Pages: 715 *Binding Type: Paperback *Language: English *Depth: 1.50 *Width: 6.00 *Height: 9.00
From the Publisher:
Overthrowing the conventional image of Stalin as an uneducated political administrator inexplicably transformed into a pathological killer, Robert Service reveals a more complex and fascinating story behind this notorious twentieth-century figure. Drawing on unexplored archives and personal testimonies gathered from across Russia and Georgia, this is the first full-scale biography of the Soviet dictator in twenty years.
Service describes in unprecedented detail the first half of Stalin's life--his childhood in Georgia as the son of a violent, drunkard father and a devoted mother; his education and religious training; and his political activity as a young revolutionary. No mere messenger for Lenin, Stalin was a prominent activist long before the Russian Revolution. Equally compelling is the depiction of Stalin as Soviet leader. Service recasts the image of Stalin as unimpeded despot; his control was not limitless. And his conviction that enemies surrounded him was not entirely unfounded.
Stalin was not just a vengeful dictator but also a man fascinated by ideas and a voracious reader of Marxist doctrine and Russian and Georgian literature as well as an internationalist committed to seeing Russia assume a powerful role on the world stage. In examining the multidimensional legacy of Stalin, Service helps explain why later would-be reformers--such as Khrushchev and Gorbachev--found the Stalinist legacy surprisingly hard to dislodge.
Rather than diminishing the horrors of Stalinism, this is an account all the more disturbing for presenting a believable human portrait. Service's lifetime engagement with Soviet Russia has resulted in the most comprehensive and compelling portrayal of Stalin to date.
"Service's chief merit is his complete command of the period, the archives, and both the Russian and English languages. This is an exceptionally well-written book." - Donald Rayfield October, 2004 New York Times
"...Robert Service takes a very slow walk around his gargantuan subject, patiently assembling the facts, sifting through the archival record and judiciously weighing the evidence....Persistence pays off. STALIN...presents a richly documented highly persuasive portrait....Mr. Service constructs a solid, accessible work that does as much as one book can to explain Stalin as a human being, and as the architect of a system that still weighs heavy on millions of citizens in the former Soviet Union." - William Grimes 04/13/2005

"I Love Ludlow" Top 5 Page for this destination Ludlow by lomi
Ludlow Travel Guide: 68 reviews and 117 photos
Ludlow has more restaurants per person than any other place in Britain. It has almost 500 listed* buildings (*officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance).
A stroll through the Medieval and Tudor streets is a stroll into the past. From the Feathers Hotel (built in 1619), with its timber frames and decorative carving to Broad Street and its parade of shops ( including De Grey's famous tearooms). Its cobbled streets and old buttermarket give it a timeless fascination if you like old buildings.
Ludlow's history really begins in 1086 when the castle was built overlooking the rivers Teme and Corve. It was one of a line of castles being constructed at the time along the Marches to keep out the Welsh. The town plan was laid out soon afterwards.
Ludlow has held street markets since the twelfth century. Nowadays, a traditional open-air market, takes place in the town square (Castle Street) every Monday, Friday and Saturday throughout the year. My favorite place to stroll and sample delicious food.
One of the highlights of a trip to Ludlow is the Local Produce Market . Written about more extensively in my Ludlow shopping guide.
John Betjeman rightly described Ludlow as 'the loveliest town in England' and I fully agree.
