In this course, author Lisa Cron digs into the craft of writing a compelling story based on what the brain is wired to respond to in every story we hear. Whether you're writing a story from scratch, or revising your story for the umpteenth time, this course offers practical how-to advice, then illustrates it using before-and-after examples. Discover how to craft a first page, zero in on your story's point, create empathy, find a character's secret goals and inner issues, translate generics into specifics, write for suspense, create cause-and-effect connections, build momentum and tension, and deftly implement setups, payoffs, flashbacks, subplots, and foreshadowing.
Here are a few questions that will help you make sure your story stays on an if-then-therefore trajectory all the way through. First, does your story follow a cause and effect path so that each scene is triggered by the one that preceded it? What you want is an if-then-therefore pattern all the way through. It's like the one-two-three of a waltz. Get that rhythm stuck in your head, if-then-therefore, and use it to build momentum. Second, do the events that take place in your story spur the protagonist's internal quest? We don't care about a hurricane, a stock market crash, or even aliens taking over downtown Cleveland, unless it somehow directly affects your protagonist's pursuit of his internal goal.
Third, do you always show your protagonist's train of thought when he's making a decision? The reader wants to know how what happens affects the protagonist, so we understand why he makes the decisions he does. Don't forget, just because you know what your protagonist is thinking, doesn't mean your reader will. Finally, can everything in your story withstand the "And so" test? This is another way of asking what's the point? Why does the reader need to know this? How does it further the story? Ask it relentlessly, and the minute you can't answer, know that you're in the company of what's likely a deadly digression which will bring your story's momentum to a screeching halt.
So, boot it out before it does. The best way to practice the if-then-therefore logic is to pick a movie you know well and write it out the way we just did with Romeo and Juliet. Movies are much easier to do this with than books, because it's a simpler, more straightforward medium, not to mention the fact that it's easier to watch a 2-hour movie than to read a 400-page novel. When it comes to picking a movie, believe it or not, Disney and Pixar films work really, really well. Try The Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, or my personal favorites, Toy story.
If you prefer movies with actual flesh-and-blood actors, you might try It's a Wonderful Life, or Die Hard. Once you get the swing of it, it will be surprisingly easy to apply it to your own work.

Discussion in 'Fly Swaps' started by Thomas Mitchell, May 7, 2009.
Don't worry about the extra postage Jeremy. I'll let you know when they get here.
Added Jeremy's fly, the 'Half Ass".
I think a better name would have been "Bad Ass" cause it's just that...
I hate the red cast caused by the rendering in the galleries. The actual files are much more neutral.
Guys, hope you don't mind, but I switched my pattern to a Steelhead Caddis. I had just tied up a bunch of speys for the face to face swap and decided that I was in the mood to try something new and different for me.
I think that's great. Seems like we're short on the dry flies.
Thanks for the kind words Thomas. Hope all of you guys enjoy the ties.
I'm letting loose my swarm of bees on Wednesday.

Philadelphia 76ers @ Chicago Bulls Game 2 Free NBA Pick
- Updated: May 1, 2012
The Philadelphia 76ers have to feel as though they have a shot in NBA betting action in the playoffs, but they are going to have to win here at the United Center, where they will be playing Game 2 on Tuesday night against the Chicago Bulls.
Looking for the best sports handicappers on the internet? Look no further than the Expert Sports Handicappers here at Bang the Book. Click Here to check out the best gambling picks that you'll find anywhere!
The 76ers have to feel good that they were at least in the game with the Bulls for a bit and that they figured out how to put 91 points on the board. Of course, there is a real question right now as to whether or not they are going to be able to stop the big boys for the Bulls. The team really had problems on the glass, where they only had 38 rebounds, against the 47 that Chicago amassed. The shooting effort wasn't all that great, accounting for just a 39.8 shooting percentage, an Andre Iguodala was the big problem, going just 3-of-11. Iguodala though, was one of the five players that got into double digits in scoring when push came to shove. Lou Williams, the team's leading scorer put up just nine points on 1-of-6 shooting. The team shot just 1-of-9 from beyond the arc as well. The good news is that the Sixers did win the turnover battle in Game 1, and keeping good care of the rock is going to be the key to finding ways to win games in this series.
Head Coach Tom Thibodeau is going to really be questioning his decisions over the course of the end of Game 1. He left Derrick Rose on the court in a game that was all but over so he could try to get his triple-double. Instead, Rose tore his ACL, ending his season, and he came up a board and an assist shy. He did have 23 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists, and he was one of the five that made it into double digits for the Bulls as well. Rip Hamilton really brought his playoff experience to the table in Game 1, knocking down six of his seven shots from the field, accounting for 19 points. Luol Deng, Joakim Noah, and Carlos Boozer combined for 38 points and 26 rebounds. Those are relatively modest numbers, but it felt like every time the ball made it into the paint, easy shots were coming. Kyle Korver came off of the bench to score 11, while Taj Gibson had seven points. CJ Watson scored just four points and had five assists in 11 minutes, and he is going to be the one called into action with Rose on the bench for the rest of the year.
Philadelphia 76ers @ Chicago Bulls Pick: The 76ers are getting too much respect now with Rose out of the lineup. The Bulls went 38-27-1 ATS this year for a reason, and they did a lot of that without Rose out there. Philadelphia just isn't going to be able to get the job done on the road, though we think that this game is going to be a lot more competitive than Game 1 was.

Press release from Business Wire
Renaissance Gold Signs Southern Nevada Exploration Agreement with Callinan Royalties
Thursday, October 24, 2013
Renaissance Gold Signs Southern Nevada Exploration Agreement with Callinan Royalties17:00 EDT Thursday, October 24, 2013
WHITE ROCK, British Columbia (Business Wire) -- Renaissance Gold Inc. (TSX:REN) ("RenGold") is pleased to announce that it has signed an exploration alliance agreement (the "Agreement") with Callinan Royalties Corporation ("Callinan"). The purpose of the Agreement is to fund prospect generation activities in order for RenGold to attract joint venture partners to projects, while allowing Callinan to generate and acquire royalties.
The initial geographic focus will be southern Nevada but may expand to other jurisdictions. The Agreement will be for an initial three year term and calls for Callinan to fund $150,000 of generative exploration during the first year of the Agreement with the option to fund up to $100,000 in each of the two subsequent years.
In return for such funding, RenGold will grant Callinan the option to receive a 0.5% Net Smelter Returns ("NSR") royalty on any new projects acquired as a result of the generative exploration work. Alternatively, Callinan has the option of funding an additional $150,000 on any of the new projects in exchange for a 1.5% NSR royalty.
If RenGold proposes that additional value can be generated after spending $150,000, Callinan may elect to contribute subsequent funding with RenGold on an equally shared basis with no change to Callinan's royalty interest. RenGold may also propose exploration on their existing mineral properties. Callinan will have the option to fund $150,000 in exploration on those projects in return for a 1.5% NSR royalty.
Richard Bedell, President and CEO of RenGold, comments: "Renaissance has been successful in generating shareholder value through the joint venture business model. This agreement is a modification of that model and will allow Renaissance to benefit from the downturn in the industry by being proactive with no shareholder dilution. Callinan is also currently a shareholder that understands our business and we consider them a long-term investor."
Renaissance Gold Inc.
Renaissance Gold Inc. is a gold/silver exploration company that has a large portfolio of exploration projects in Nevada, Utah, Argentina and Spain. Many of the projects are in exploration earn-in agreements with industry partners who provide exploration funding. RenGold applies the extensive exploration experience and high-end technical skills of its founders and team members to search for and acquire new precious metal exploration projects that are then offered for joint venture.

Style: Isshyru--
Stop trashing styles
Invited to speak as a newbie, I'll speak. It's the person, not the style that wins. One of the toughest martial artists I ever met was a sub-5-0' Iranian who trained shotokan. He was a brown belt when I knew him, but I'd take him in a brawl anytime, anywhere. Heart of friggin' lion, with one shot power that was scary. He told me his instructor had them throw straight kicks for hours until they fell down - nearly a 1000 a day. Needless to say, his front kick would bury you and it came very quick. I also used to do three point blocking with him and my arms shivered - and I was recruited Div. 1 as a wrestler and outweighed the little beast by 30 pounds.
So, as my current instructor says, it's all kick, block, punch, and wrestle. Buddha developed kung fu, which spread disparately in different forms in South Asia, Korea, Okinawa, and Japan (and then to Brasil!). Samurai philosophy and sword technique joined along sometime afterward on parallel track, probably with some cross pollination. Early karate featured defeats of judokan and ju jitsu fighters. A tougher breed of Karate practitioners, perhaps. Now ju jitsu and muay thai fighters claim supremacy. Modern kung fu seems reduced to ballet. But it's an age old, meaningless debate. Styles are meaningless, as the individual dedication is key. I'll take Mas Oyama in his prime against any Gracie or MMA fighter on the planet in a bare knuckle, no holds barred, fight. There's probably a couple of monks from Shoalin in the past that would trash them all. Not to mention O Sensai or Yip Man. There's also a certain Greco Roman heavy weight champ from Russia that might just stomp the piss out of many of them. Who knows? I don't think the particular style would control the outcome.
Anyway, you get my drift. Modern fighting rules favor styles. Muay Thai rules put gloves on karate fighters and boxers, whose best techniques utilize their hands, so they are left at a disadvantage to get pounded by lower leg techniques and knees, which are the center of the Muay Thai disclipline. I've never seen a Muay Thai fighter that could stand up to a truly good boxer, so put the pads on the shins and let the boxers have at it with only hard taped knuckles. See who wins. Also, wrestling is prohibited, so you can't simply trap and drag a Muay Thai fighter to the ground. MMA fights favor wrestlers and BBJ folks because the room to move is limited, and you can't strike the eyes, knees, or throat- and you can't bite, which is a wrestler's worst nightmare. Kyokushin is limited to the body (except for kicks, which can't go to the knees or the face), and you can't trap or wrestle. Even the closest of full contact styles, Vale Tudor, is limited because you can only pound on an ankle or a wrist, you can't bite through a wrist or an Achilles or stick your finger in an eye.
In the end, folks, we're all limited in the styles we practice by the fact that you simply cannot practice true to the end game of hard combat without causing severe injury or death. All of us, from whatever the style are taught, have technigues in the arsenal which cannot be used in sport. Saying that one style is better than another, without the implementation of all the angles of each is baloney. It's akin to saying I'll fight you with one hand behind my back. Be serious. Like I said at the beginning, I'll take my little Iranian shotokan brown belt in a life or death street fight over 99% of the morons claiming supremacy of style on this site, any day - and I'll give you odds.
Guy Who Pays the Bills and Gets the Death Threats Style: MMA (Retired)--
Not anymore.

I had a therapist suggest that I see a hypnotherapist to see if it could stop my negative daydreams. I am scared to try it. I have heard of people retrieving repressed memories while hypnotized. My fear is what I may say. I read that the mind does not know the difference between real memories and fantasies. They are stored the same. It is our conscious that lets us know what is real. Like you can remember movie scenes but know you didn't live through it. Someone who is delusional maybe doesn't have the ability to know which is which. So, I wonder if under hypnosis could a maladaptive daydreamer report their dreams as memories.
Logic of the illogical
My mind trying to make sense of the daydreams and the people, places. What do they mean? Why are they here? Maybe they exist in another dimension and I am watching their lives. Tapped into a reality show from another realm. I watch from the corner of my eye for a portal. Maybe a door or gateway to step into their world. That's not logical. But neither are the dreams. People I don't know, places I have never been. A life I never lived in a time I was not born. Why is it all in my mind? playing like an old movie that gives you a deja vu feeling. Reminds me of song lyrics, "I'm kinda homesick, for a country. To where I have never been before. No sad goodbyes, will there be spoken, because time won't matter anymore."
What are you trying to tell me?
Sorry I have been away so long. I go through phases where I just can't talk about it. Do you have reoccurring themes? Are they telling you something? I keep having these where traumatic things happen. It all seems to be around forgiving, moving on after someone hurts you. But what doesn't make sense to me is that I think I learned that lesson long ago. Having been through a cheating spouse, divorce,etc. I forgave and went on with my life. I don't sit around thinking of revenge or still hold any grudges. I let it go a long time ago. So why is this theme always coming back? A MDD friend suggested it is more of a premonition preparing me for something to come. Don't want that to be right. It does seem to always relate to a movie plot, like I see something happen in a movie that is disturbing and my mind is like, "what would you do if it happened to you?" Then I spend weeks stuck in a DD forcing me to live that scenario. How do I stop this? Why can't I have those pleasant DDs about fame, fortune, happiness?
Not Feeling Nostalgic
I read someone's blog post entitled "feeling Nostalgic". They spoke of missing their grandparents. I thought about my grandparents. I didn't have any fond memories of them to miss. They either passed when I was young or lived too far away to know that well. I don't seem to have any memories worth missing. So I have nothing to feel nostalgic about. I guess that can be a good thing or bad. No one can say I live in the past, but I don't live in the present either. I have hope for the future, but don't contemplate it often. So where do I live? In another realm, or maybe a different dimension. At least part of my mind does. While my body goes through the motions of life. Like living in a black and white movie, void of life. I long for that feeling of living in the moment, the now. Experiencing every moment to the fullest. But I don't know how to do that.
New video from Dr Somer
Prof. Somer described different pathways to Maladaptive Daydreaming (MD) and corresponding treatment approaches.
Blurring the line
The line between reality and something else. I can tell when my illness is getting worse. Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder is an illness,not an excuse to waste your life fantasizing about what you will never have the will to try. But many claim the title for just that reason. But to me it is most diffidently an illness. Does the depression come from the worsening MDD or does it cause the depression? I don't know. But when you walk outside and the thought enters your mind, "I wouldn't want to go to that other world wearing this outfit". Then you know the line is thin. Your mind is contemplating passing through to your fantasy world, like it could be done.
Are you ever afraid to say what your going through? even in a MDD group where most probably have gone through it also. Sometimes putting it into words makes it that much more frightening. That's one reason I have been away from this blog so long. When you put it into words and step back, you say, wow, do I really do that? think that? Maybe I need to be committed, put in a hospital. lol, sometimes I dream of that happening. I sit unspeaking in a garden in the hospital courtyard. Lost to the world, living in my mind. But I am still functioning so I guess it's not that bad yet.
When it gets bad, I function. But that is all. Just taking one step in front of the other, going through the routine of the day. You function but can't think to the future. So you can't make plans for things like doctor visits, projects to start or finish. You just function till it gets better. Your mind whirls and you want to scream, "make it stop!" You want to sleep, to rest, to not be anxious. You forget what it feels like to be calm. That's where I am right now. Well, I guess being able to come here and write this means I'm coming out of the darkness somewhat.
Serenity- subliminal mind control therapy
My latest attempt at a cure or treatment is mind control. Heard a man talking about it on the radio show Coast to Coast AM. I ordered one called Serenity. It has shadowed subliminal messages or affirmations in with oceans sounds. You can choose nature sounds or music. The sound of waves is soothing to me anyway. The company is called InnerTalk, I liked them because they provide a list of all the messages in the recording, so you don't wonder what they are really telling you to do. I had one company refuse to tell what the messages were, like it was a big secret. What if they were saying send me money or something. I also liked that you could be doing other things while listening, like working on the computer. Unlike the self hypnosis ones I tried that always wanted you to relax and close your eyes. I always fell asleep.
Well, I started over the weekend and have had the greatest amount of success out of all the treatments I've tried. It seems to have blocked the involuntary part and I am just left with the habit part. Which isn't all that easy to break but it is doable. I have noticed what could be withdrawal symptoms. Kind of feeling lost, not knowing what to think about. Trying to find real things to fill the time and thoughts. But this is a good problem to have right? Anyway it seems like a good therapy that is helping me over come this MDD. One day at a time.

FOXBORO, MA - JANUARY 10: Tom Brady #12 of the New England Patriots looks on in the first half against the Baltimore Ravens during the 2010 AFC wild-card playoff game at Gillette Stadium on January 10, 2010 in Foxboro, Massachusetts. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
An old rivalry has Tom Brady — or at least those playing around him — seeing red. The quarterback was again on the short end of the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry this week after the Buckeyes polished off their undefeated season with a win over the Wolverines. That meant Brady, a proud Michigan alum, was once more stuck wearing an Ohio State jersey for a day thanks to a running bet with former Patriots teammate and Buckeye Mike Vrabel. Although the details are sketchy (Vrabel's Twitter feed is the only source for such things, and the photo of Brady in Vrabel's jersey, which Vrabel posted to gloat, is from 2006), it shouldn't surprise anyone that the uber-competitive Brady and Vrabel would keep the bet going. Brady is preparing for the Dolphins this week, while Vrabel is doing well in his post-NFL career. He is the defensive lines coach at none other than Ohio State. Photo via Twitter/@coachvrabel50

Armenia–Russia relations
|This article needs attention from an expert on the subject. (March 2013)
|This article or section may be slanted towards recent events. (August 2013)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2008)
Armenia–Russia relations (Russian: Российско-армянские отношения, Armenian: Հայ-ռուսական հարաբերություններ) are the bilateral relationships between Armenia and the Russian Federation. Both countries are strategic allies and form an axis in the Caucasus along with Iran. Diplomatic relations between modern-day Armenia and Russia were established on April 3, 1992, but Russia has been an important actor in Armenia since the early 19th century. The two countries' historic relationship has its roots in the Russo-Persian War (1826-1828) between the Russian Empire and Qajar Persia after which Eastern Armenia was ceded to Russia. Moreover, Russia was often considered a protector of the Christian subjects of the Ottoman Empire, including the Armenians.[1]
After the dismantlement of the Soviet Union, Armenia has been considered as the only ally of Russia in all of Transcaucasia. The positions of Russia and Armenia in the majority of key international problems are coincident or close. Armenia shares the approaches of Russia, directed toward strengthening of the CIS. Armenia and Russia are both members of a military alliance called the CSTO along with four other ex-soviet countries, a relationship that Armenia finds essential to its security. Among the contracts and the agreements, which determine intergovernmental relations – a treaty of friendship, collaboration and mutual aid of 29 August 1997 are a number of the documents, which regulate bases of Russian military units and liaisons in the territory of Armenia.
Russian–Armenian interaction in military affairs is directed toward providing the safety of both states, of the southern flank of the collaboration of the independent states, and stability in Transcaucasia. The Armenian armed forces participate in the bearing of standby alert within the framework of the integral system PVO – air defense of the CIS. Collaboration between the Defense Ministries of Russia and Armenia is achieved on a regular basis.
The 102nd Russian military base is stationed in the territory of Armenia. United Russian–Armenian troop groups are formed. The boundary group FSB of Russia in Armenia together with the Armenian frontier-guards bears the protection of the boundaries of the republic with Turkey and Iran. The chief commander of 102nd military base Andrey Ruzinsky said in an interview that "If Azerbaijan decides to restore jurisdiction over Nagorno-Karabakh by force the [Russian] military base may join in the armed conflict in accordance with the Russian Federation's obligations within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO)."[2]
New phase of partnership[edit]
After having been faced with the choice of becoming a member of the Russia-led Customs Union or signing the Association Agreement with the European Union, Armenia chose the first option. The decision on Armenia's joining the Customs Union was announced by the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan on 03 September 2013.[3][4]
On 02 December 2013 Vladimir Putin arrived to Armenia on an official visit with an unprecedentedly large delegation. The heads of the two states discussed Armenia's accession to the Customs Union and signed 12 agreements on enhancing cooperation in a number of key spheres such as security, economy, energy and others. Russia also reduced the gas price for Armenia from 270 to 189 dollars per 1,000 cubic meters and enlarged the existing Russian military bases in Armenia.[5][6]
Armenia will be a full member of the Eurasian Economic Union from January 2, 2015, during which cooperation and integration with Russia will reach a new level.

Editorial Staff • West End • 1 May 2003
Within the wide-ranging 20th-century canon of existentialism, Albert Camus explored his own doctrine of alienation and the 'absurd', most famously in his novel The Outsider, his essay on The Myth of Sisyphus and in this, Caligula, his play about the blood-obsessed Roman emperor. His damning verdict on life's only real truth is summed up in the words of Caligula: "we die and we are unhappy".
So, even if the play's title doesn't conjure up pornographic images of Malcolm McDowell from Gore Vidal's infamous 1979 screen version, it's little surprise that it makes for distinctly uncomfortable viewing. In fact, Michael Grandage's superb production, of David Greig's fluid new translation, makes for one of the most disturbing - and yet utterly compelling - evenings I've spent in the theatre.
After the premature death of his incestuously beloved sister, Caligula, driven by his loss of love and faith, returns from three days of wandering introspection to pursue his right to "absolute freedom" in absolute power and to share "the gift of meaningless" with his kingdom via random executions, calculated famines, blasphemy and bloodlust.
In the title role, Michael Sheen, making an overdue return to the stage, is nothing short of mesmerising. He terrifyingly captures Caligula's frenzied, sleep-deprived insanity and the mercurial nature of his cruelty, never more so than when pouncing on a quaking old man to force-feed him poison. And, in his flickering moments of doubt and guilt when Sheen delves into his despair, you feel plunged into the deep lake of darkness with him, the metallic taste of guilt and fear on your tongue. It feels difficult to breathe.
In supporting roles, Raymond Coulthard provides Sheen's Caligula with a dispassionate philosophical foil as Cherea, while Diana Kent and Jason Hughes add to the fright factor as the loyal ex-mistress and servant who become his apologist acolytes in viciousness. Caught in the muddled but moral middle is Ben Turner's poetic Scipio, while the assembled patricians ably register the strains of their emperor's reign of terror.
Adding to the production's psychological tension are eerie murmurings, brutal beatings and heightened music (care of Fergus O'Hare and Adam Cork); the stage left largely blank to be overrun with the conflict of characters and ideas.
Though existentialism itself may have fallen from fashion, Camus' play has tapped once again into timeliness. When it premiered in 1944, Hitler's horrors were still fresh. Now, we have our own tyrants with whom to draw uneasy parallels. And, in Grandage's production, we have one of the most arresting and gruesome closing images, a bloodied Sheen, smeared against the silvered brick backwall, plaintively lamenting his life.
Shocking, spine-tingling - and yes, stomach-churning - stuff.
- Terri Paddock

Eurogamer - Titanfall is not the game I was expecting.
It was billed as a shot in the arm for the multiplayer first-person shooter - specifically Call of Duty and games created in its image - but that just felt like hype to me. It's the same guys making it! The mechs looked nice, but I figured it would all boil down to the usual questions: How do we handle perks? How many guns do we carry? When's the DLC coming out?

Gardner's Art Through the Ages, Volume II (Chapters 19-34 with Artstudy Student CD-ROM and Infotrac)by Fred S Kleiner
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The market-leading text for the art history survey course, GARDNER'S ART THROUGH THE AGES has served as a comprehensive and thoughtfully crafted guide to the defining phases of the world's artistic tradition. With this book in hand, thousands of students have watched the story of art unfold in its full historical, social, religious, economic, and cultural context, and thus deepened their understanding of art, architecture, painting, and sculpture. By virtue of its comprehensive coverage, strong emphasis on context, and rich, accurate art reproductions, GARDNER'S ART THROUGH THE AGES has earned and sustained a reputation of excellence and authority. So much so, that in 2001, the Text and Academic Authors Association awarded both the McGuffey and the "Texty" Book Prizes to the Eleventh Edition of the text. It is the first art history book to win either award and the only title ever to win both prizes in one year. The Twelfth Edition maintains and exceeds the richness of the Gardner legacy with updated research and scholarship and an even more beautiful art program featuring more color images than any other art history book available. The Twelfth Edition features such enhancements as more color photographs, a stunning new design, and the most current research and scholarship. What's more, the expanded ancillary package that accompanies GARDNER'S ART THROUGH THE AGES, features a wealth of tools to enhance your students' experience in the course. With each new copy of the book, students receive a copy of the ArtStudy 2.0 CD-ROM--an interactive electronic study aid that fully integrates with the Twelfth Edition and includes hundreds of high-quality digital images, plus maps, quizzes, and more.
In the mid 1920's a teacher at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago had a vision to provide students and instructors with a textbook that would introduce them to the artistic legacy of not only Europe, but of the entire globe. In 1926, Harcourt Brace and Company published that vision - ART THROUGH THE AGES. Since that time, Helen Gardner's vision has been the leader in educating students about the artistic legacy of the world. For the past 75 years, ART THROUGH THE AGES has defined the introductory art history course. The intention of this classic, in Helen Gardner's words, has been "to introduce the reader to certain phases of art, architecture, painting, sculpture, and the minor arts from the remote days of the glacial age in Europe, through successive civilizations of the Near East, Europe, America, and the Orient, to the twentieth century." Now, as we begin a new millennium, we do so with the eleventh edition. This text is more accessible and easier to read for students, but does not compromise the richness of the Gardner tradition.
As fascinating as a real visit to the world's famous museums and architectural sites, GARDNER'S ART THROUGH THE AGES: A GLOBAL HISTORY gives you a comprehensive, beautifully illustrated tour of the world's great artistic traditions—plus all the study tools you need to excel in your art history course! Easy to read and understand, this 13th Edition of the most widely read history of art book in the English language is the only textbook that includes a unique "scale" feature (accompanying the book's photographs of paintings and other artworks) that will help you better visualize the actual size of the artworks shown in the book. You'll also find materials that will help you master the key topics quickly and help you study for your exams—for example, "The Big Picture" overviews at the end of every chapter, a special global timeline, and ArtStudy Online (a free interactive study guide that includes flash cards of images and quizzes).

Im surprised he wasn't released over the winter
He isn't that good
I'm sorry to nitpick, but I thought he turned 21 earlier this year.
Ravin reportedly showed improved command in spring training. His velocity last season in Dayton was nowhere near what the reputation indicated. He generally pitched at 90-91. He would pop a 93 once or twice a night.
Hopefully his command is better this season. He had some rough times last year at finding the strikezone. Its like one inning he had some control then the next he just couldn't find the plate. I didn't get to see him much, so I can't say that maybe his mechanics were inconsistent, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was something like that holding him back last season.
Needless to say, this is a make or break year for Ravin. He has to show some improvement.
The Reds said goodbye to a couple of big investments last week when they released Arneson and Conatser. Ravin would be the next if he doesn't start to show something.

More whining from Marc Katz:
Reds don't pay enough attention to Dragons' performance
By Marc Katz
Staff Writer
Monday, April 06, 2009
If you had enough money to own a major league baseball team, what kind would you want to have: one that won games and made money or one that lost games and lost money?
That's an easy one. How about one that won the pennant and World Series and lost $10 million, or a team that was just okay but made $10 million?
I use this to illustrate a point not often made by general managers. They think their only goal is to win, but finances often drive a team say Florida to tear up a champion just to save some bucks.
Trying to win and be cost efficient drives the Reds, but you've got to wonder if they're on a 3-year, 5-year, 10-year or 20-year plan. They have developed players for their major league team, and have, but seemingly don't pay any attention to winning at the minor league level. Players are promoted in the middle and sometimes toward the end of pennant chases.
Worse, it happens often to the Dragons, just 50 miles from the major league team, which leads us to the bottom line discussion. The Dragons are supposed to create interest in the Reds, but if the fans here see only crummy teams, why would they be interested in seeing the same type of play in Cincinnati?
Not only that, this year's Dragons are starting with not one of what Baseball America calls the Reds' Top 30 prospects. Reds farm director Terry Reynolds said he doesn't pay much attention to BA, but I noticed he had almost all of those Top 30 on the Futures team he put together for last Saturday's exhibition against the Reds.
It probably won't matter much here. All the games are sold out. In Cincinnati, though, maybe it's time for a new plan.
I miss Adam Dunn.
Woah, Enrique Garcia was released? He was pretty good at Miami and was drafted just last year. I was mildly interested in him.

Kinda surprised they released Eddy Rodriguez
I forgot about Evan Hildenbrandt until just now. I thought he would start the season in Dayton, but it appears as if he will begin the season in extended spring training. Hopefully he reaches Dayton sometime this summer.
Clayton Shunick is another notable omission from the Dayton roster.

Is my girlfriend bi/gay?
So last week I found pictures of my girlfriend and her best friend (female) taking pictures of themselves bending over, showing their vaginas, and... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Dude, your girlfriend is way gay! I have friends(girls), and I would never ever make-out with them or take nude shots with them. That's just gay beyond all words. In the least, I agree with everyone else, she's a cheater and she's gay! Hm...it seems like you're most worried about her being a lesbian, when you should be more worried about her cheating on you, which by the way you let her get away with. And seriously all the signs of her being gay are layed out in front of you. Anyways, ditch her before she hurts you anymore or confuses you any further. Good luck!
I have no issue with her being bi , just as long as she doesn't act out on it.
- Show Older Hide Older
Also, they were both drunk..but that doesn't make it right either, right?
Duh!!! You know the answer to all this nonsense, but just don't want to admit it. She's a cheater, enough said.
What Girls Said 12
Just because girls make out and all that doesn't mean they are bisexual. I'd be willing to say that just about ever girl you have ever talked to has most likely made out with one of their friends before. Some girls actually do joke around like that, personally I would get turned on by some of that lol. But I am bisexual and I know it. If she tells you they were just messing around then they most likely were. Girls kissing other girls is normal. Girls are curious and sometimes they do it so that they can "learn to kiss".. They are most likely just best friends.. But who knows, you could just be a lucky guy lol..
We are all 23 years old. they aren't kissing to learn how to kiss. doing what they do in a bathroom or a dark room when they're by themselves isn't even being done to get attention. it seems very homoerotic to me.
Around that age is when most girls start trying more sexual stuff with the opposite sex. It doesn't mean they are bisexual unless they are in fact getting arroused by it. It she says she isn't then she isn't bisexual.
She sounds pretty gay.
And if I were you, I wouldn't stay with her. Whether she's gay or not she shouldn't be going around kissing girls. If she's with you, she should only make out with you. But that's just me.
Anyways, I hope things work out for you.
She says that the time I heard her making out with her friend was way before we even got together. but what do you think about the pictures?
The pictures are really gay too. I would never ever take pictures of myself naked with my friend. Talk about gay.
I think some girls kiss (only kiss not make out) their friends for fun or whatever and aren't gay. But ur girlfriend goes way too far. Sorry to say it, but she's gay.
they probably were just having fun...but me personaally I don't see how it is,whats the point in taking those types of pictures and knowing there is a risk the pics could get out, Your a perfect examplebut I guess that's how some girls have fun when their drunk ... but it's either that or they're both in-the-closet lesbians. Anywayz I don't think there's anything wrong with her but like you said she was drunk, and like she said she was just having fun so I would just take her word for it .
this dosnt make her bisexual, not all girls are, but its just more common for two girls to kiss than guys, I don't know why lol. a lot of girls are bi curious, like me and my friends joke around, but not like that.. lol. but just cause she does joke around like that dosnt make her bisexual, I think she'd tell you if she was anyways. I wouldn't worry too much about itt.
Wow. I think it's pretty safe to say that the evidence speaks for itself. She may not be lesbo but it sure sounds like she's bi. If you want to believe her then by all means go ahead. But making out with a girl friend while the lights are off is not exactly my idea of "showing affection". Personally I think she's lying but that's just my opinion.
she cheats on you... its simple. she makes out with girls that's cheating. if that is just there way of being friendly I need to get me friends like that.
What's your opinion on the pictures? even if she says it was innocent fun, it seems like those things lesbians do before they know they're lesbians
- Show Older Hide Older
The night it happened my girlfriend took her friend by the hand to the bathroom and they were there for about 10 minutes. I didn't think anything of it. I told her it was even worse because I was there
Just dump her she obv is only using you as a cover
A totally straight female would not engage in these activities, however, whether or not being "straight" is "normal" is a ridiculous presumption. What is normal anyway? Do ALL females have to like penises exclusively to be normal? I think that is a pretty abnormal expectation to have. So did the Founding Fathers, apparently, since the "d*** clause" was not written into the US Constitution...
What was written into that great document was :
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
I think your girlfriend is pursuing her happiness...
No problem.i do not think being gay is a wrong thing. if she is I just wish she would come clean.
i don't know if she is gay. she might be bi. but the important thing is, are you jealous or uncomfortable with this in anyway? if you are, then you need to have a serious conversation with her. and you also need to consider whether you think it is cheating on you or not. I don't want to break you two up. but you need to decide how much these things nother you so you know if you can make this work.
What Guys Said 9
Well its hard to tell for sure if she is bi. If she was a lesbian she wouldn't be back with you. I know a girl who says she loves to make out with women because she says its way more fun but, she says it doesn't turn her on. Which to me is understandable because I guess to her its like playing video games. Playing video games is fun but, its not a turn on.
Thanks. but playing video games is part of a relationship. doing sexual things is. if she es engaging in sexual behavior with another person from the same sex...that's totally different
Yes, this very definitely might be true.
See: link
I honestly don't know why males encourage this behavior, like it's no big deal. A girl making out with another girl is no different than a girl making out with a guy, regardless of what a girl says her orientation is.
I don't see why if a girl gets freaky with a lot of guys, that makes her a slut, but she gets a free pass if she's doing the same thing with other women.
Bottom-line is that it doesn't matter whether she's bisexual or not. If she's in a monogamous relationship with you, she needs to behave that way and not cross barriers with friends, whether they're male or female. I'm not saying that you should make her ditch her best friend, and I wouldn't suggest that even if the friend were a guy. I'm also not saying that just taking those pictures in itself crosses any line.
But you have a right to set that line when it comes to promiscuity, and if I were you, I'd make the line gender blind. Don't go overly jealous, just make rules about what you're comfortable with.
I completely agree with you. I told her that cheating is cheating no matter the gender.
I've known chicks like this- It's certainly worrisome as far as I was concerned! I mean if she's willing to take pics of her and her friend's genitals, where does she draw the line you know? It's like if I wanted a girl who was all about showing off her naked body to other people , Iwould have dated a stripper!
Good point., where does she draw the line. told her I had no problem with her being bi just as long as she doesn't act out on it but she denies being bi. she does have.
Echoing every male in existence: Stop complaining about this and ENCOURAGE IT!
That said, culture is a funny thing (I am going somewhere with this, just hang with me). Men compete with other men for the attention of women by their looks (partially), their attitude (again partially), and status (money, attention, etc etc). They all have something to do with it, but emphasis isn't on just one of these things.
Now on the other hand, women generally compete for the attention of men with their looks, their attitude, and their sexuality. It's considered extremely hot (for men at least), to see two girls engaging in some kind of sexual behavior, and even if a woman has no interest in other women-she may engage in the activity just to get the attention of men. Hell, if you're in college chances are 95% of every woman there has engaged in some kind of same sex act, if only mildly making out.
Though research has shown that almost everyone is at least some degree bisexual (Kinsley scale, look it up), chances are that has nothing to do with it. At least, that's what I'd say because of the photos involved.
They didn't want me to look at the pictures so obviously it wasn't to get attention. same when they were making out, they did it on their own.
It's very possible she and the girl are both in the closet and are trying to brush it off but at the same time she's kinda trying to let you know without overtly saying it because she wants to be out but she's too scared to come out for whatever reason. Id say just decide now if you want to be her cove or not and whichever way it is, let her know (if you truly care for her and could handle her being a lesbian) that you only want her to be happy and that you support her being whoever she really is whether that's gay or bi or straight or pan or whatever. It sounds a lot like she's just afraid/ashamed to come out and that she's worried of losing friends and having no support. She needs security from someone that not everyone's gunna hate her if she comes out and effects people with the truth.

Akira Toriyama, Nobuo Uematsu, Hironobu Sakaguchi: all three are famous names in Japan. And all three are closely associated with Blue Dragon, the Mistwalker Xbox 360 RPG that was released in Japan this morning. For an Xbox 360 title here in Japan, where the format has to date been failing spectacularly, Blue Dragon is set to become the system's most successful game by some distance.
Pre-orders for the Blue Dragon Xbox 360 hardware bundle sold out some weeks ago, while gamers queued for their copies in Akihabara this morning. We had no problem finding a copy of the game in Osaka today, however -- it's popular, but it's not unobtainable. Regardless, at this rate, Blue Dragon could still become a flagship series for Microsoft in Japan. No wonder Sakaguchi recently revealed plans for Blue Dragon 2...
Jump for more photos from this morning's in-store launch event at Akihabara's Yodobashi Camera.
Black is the "in colour" with Japan's trend-setting gamers this season...
Hardware sales for the week should see a significant rise, as many customers bought 360 + Blue Dragon bundles.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 1/27/13
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Viktor Fasth's first career start did not begin well. It sure ended on a high note. The Anaheim Ducks goalie denied Nashville's David Legwand in an overtime shootout to seal his first career victory, a 3-2 win over the visiting Predators on Saturday night at the Honda Center. Nashville went 0-for-3 against Fasth in the shootout, with Martin Erat missing his shot and Fasth making a save against Mike Fisher. "I just tried to wait as long as possible and get them to make the first move," Fasth said. "That's basically what you have to do as a goalie. I don't like to (know beforehand) what I think they're supposed to so, so I just tried to wait." Added Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau: "He was just calm as a cucumber. I've never been a goalie and never want to be one, but that's the demeanor they have to have to be successful. I thought even in the shootout, it was like, have a cup of coffee and wait for them to come down. (Fasth) was pretty relaxed." Corey Per...
