To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Rude.com is a community mega-site whose main focus is on live cams. Members pay $25 a month for access to their collection of photos, videos, and interactive community features, as well as access to their cam section which includes both free group shows and paid private shows. The site can initially be overwhelming, but that's mainly because there's so much to see.
Great collection of content!
This is a big site, and it can be difficult to know where to begin. The live cams are an obvious starting point and there you'll find hundreds of women waiting to chat with you. There are also large sections of images and videos submitted by the performers for you to enjoy. There are also studio pages which cost a bit more, but provide even more content. There's plenty for fans to enjoy here.
Plenty of interactive features.
Rude.com is a very active site and there always seems to be something going on. The large cam section makes it easy to find someone online to watch, whether it's in a free group chat show, a paid nude show, or a paid private show. The forum is really active. There are profiles, blogs, and personal ads to help you get to know your fellow members and the girls. And of course, if you're feeling naughty you can broadcast your cam, too! Rude lets you be an active participant or simply a viewer depending on your mood.
Loved the search tool!
They make it a breeze to find the girl you're looking for with their advanced search tool. Select from as many criteria as you like, her eye color, hair color, her favorite bad word, what her teeth look like, what her favorite band is, how often she masturbates, if she likes strip clubs, etc etc. You can really meet some interesting people with this search tool. Even the quick search is helpful with names, age ranges, and things like most active, most popular, newest, etc. It's a surprisingly powerful set-up.
Quality varies.
That's to be expected on a site like this, though I keep hoping that eventually someone will find a way to offer higher quality live streaming cam shows. As it is, these look fine but are nothing remarkable.
Lots of upsells.
The $25 a month membership just gets you in the door. If you actually want to watch a live show, you'll have to pay an additional amount per minute. This is rather unlike most other cam shows, that simply bill based on the amount of time spent watching shows. You do get extra content here, but don't come in expecting the shows to be included.
Minor Negatives:
A huge, entertaining cammunity site with a few minor issues.
Rude.com is a great site for those looking to really be active on a porn site. Whether you're just looking for cams or you actually want to chat and perhaps even be watched yourself, Rude.com has you covered. The monthly membership price of $25 a month is reasonable for this collection, but do keep in mind shows cost extra. The main thing I'd like to see is a redesign; I can't say I'm a fan of the look. However, I will say that is easily overlooked to get to this super-entertaining cammunity site (Ha! See what I did there?) and it's one I'd recommend checking out.

OCONOMOWOC — 16 fire officials received the "Medal of Valor" Sunday, September 23rd for their efforts in rescuing Lt. Mike LaVenture of the Oconomowoc Fire Department on July 1st.
LaVenture was trapped on the second floor in a commercial building fire when the fire officials performed their rescue.
The fire broke out on N. Main Street and E. Wisconsin Ave. in downtown Oconomowoc in a building housing businesses and apartments. The fire was elevated to a five-alarm, and over 150 firefighters battled the blaze.
45-year-old Sharon Phillips died in the building.
At Sunday's awards ceremony, Lt. LaVenture recalled the harrowing experience that nearly cost him his life. While fighting the fire, the harness LaVenture had around a victim he was attempting to rescue snapped, and LaVenture fell and became disoriented in the midst of thick smoke and intense heat.
"They were going to find me. I just didn't know if they were going to find me in time," LaVenture said.
Nick Heltemes was part of the crew that saved LaVenture's life. By the time they reached him, LaVenture was unconscious.
"It gives me chills just thinking about it. The difficult part was finding him. He was tucked away in a bathroom trying to save himself, trying to cut back the smoke," LaVenture said.
The rescuers got LaVenture to a window and to safety as quickly as they could.
"As we all say, 'it's our job.' Again, I'm honored to receive (the award), but I would do it again in a heartbeat," Heltemes said.
The crew's special training and effort saved a man who dedicated his life to saving others. LaVenture says he'll be eternally grateful.
"Everybody goes home — that's our motto. I can't thank these people enough for what they've done for me and my family," LaVenture said.
Eight firefighters were treated for injuries related to battling the blaze, including burns, smoke inhalation and heat exhaustion. LaVenture was placed in a hyperbaric chamber.
Temperatures in the 90s, sweltering sunlight, wind and this summer's ongoing drought conditions made fighting the fire challenging for fire officials.
Fighting this five-alarm fire was further complicated by two grass fires that broke out in the area the same afternoon — one near I-94 and Highway 67 (near Harley-Davidson) and another near the Target Distribution Center on Valley Road.
The fire officials who received the honor Sunday hail from the Oconomowoc Fire Department, Dousman Fire Department, Stone Bank Fire Department and Lake Country Fire Department.

B3168 crash near Ilminster injures six and leaves woman critically ill
Posted: October 08, 2012|
A woman was critically ill in hospital last night following a two-car crash in Somerset in which six people including a six-month-old baby were injured and four helicopters flew to their aid.
Five fire crews were called in to free two of the victims, working under floodlights following the late-night collision. The helicopters included Devon & Cornwall and Avon and Somerset Constabularies' two aircraft, and a Search and Rescue copter from RAF Chivenor in Devon.
The vehicles collided at 10.40pm on Saturday on the B3168 at Bay Hill, Dillington, near Ilminster. The road was closed for more than seven hours.
A Vauxhall Astra, driven by a woman, was in head-on collision with a Vauxhall Corsa also driven by a woman, and carrying a man, two 15-year-old boys and a six-month-old baby.
Firefighters from Ilminster, Chard,Taunton and Yeovil worked to free the two women, removing the vehicles' roofs to extricate them. Ambulance staff stabilised them before they were airlifted to hospital.
The woman driver of the Corsa was flown to Derriford Hospital, Plymouth, with multiple life-threatening injuries. Her condition yesterday was critical.
The other woman was taken to Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, with a serious head injury and was in stable condition yesterday.
The male passenger was taken to Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton, with non life-threatening chest injuries.
Two 15-year-old boys were taken to Frenchay and Yeovil District hospitals. Their condition is not reported to be life threatening.
The baby was released after receiving medical treatment.
An appeal for witnesses has been issued by the police's collision investigation unit. Anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident is asked to contact the CIU on the force number 101 or online using the link http://www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/contact/crime_reporting/

BLOUNTVILLE - A Monday evening Delta Connection flight coming into Tri-Cities Regional Airport had to be diverted to Knoxville after problems developed with the airfield lighting system, TCRA Executive Director Patrick Wilson said.
TCRA completed a $15.7 million resurfacing of its main runway last weekend — a move that forced the airport to be shut down two weekends in a row.
But a portion of one of the airfield lighting systems temporarily went out of service Monday around 7:15 p.m.

The plan to suspend the project is ideologically the fear I had in regards to the presidential election of 'o8. This projects' contractors, who employ many local citizens (and others who are desperate for work in this suffering economy), are screwed. Work has already begun to build this site! Plans set forth, people counting on the work to survive and a relief from a sense of stability! Literally stopped in its tracks! Now its gone! Anyone can see it, just take a few mins to drive past it! Excavations and grading had already started at full swing. In essence, the suspension has actually STOLEN jobs away from at least 1000 people (maybe more) directly and indirectly. The decision to suspend immediately cost around 60 jobs. Indirectly are future sub contractors whose work had not begun yet PLUS employees of Entergy who would operate the 80+ acre development upon completion. Not to mention subcontractors who would be awarded an extended site maintenance contract. This figure is not determinable.
How do I know? Because I was there. I was so relieved to have this job. I work for the I&M contractor who was awarded the project. I'm a supervisor. I hated the day I had to tell a man he no longer had a job, no more than 2 days after being hired, him with slight tears, knowing he had to go home to break the news to his wife and kids that it was scratch time. A light through the dark for these people was actually closer to a knife in the dark. But, this is "change we can believe in". And for what? So the big dogs in the office can have their voices heard? More like clamor, which drowned out the pleas from the people who matter, the citizens. This is not a professional political view or argument. In this time of change, it's a view of reality. All of a sudden, the working people are forgotten. We don't even get the stimulus package to soften the blow!
Now you tell me, does it still seem like a good idea?

iBooks Author EULA claims all paid content is exclusive to Apple
Following Apple's iBooks Author announcement today, word started to circulate that content made with Apple's app could only be sold in Apple's iBookstore. Authors could freely distribute their work, but they couldn't sell it elsewhere.
After digging through the licensing PDF, Leanna thinks she might have found the pesky paragraph in question, namely, section 2.B.(ii).
If your Work is provided for a fee (including as part of any subscription-based product or service), you may only distribute the Work through Apple and such distribution is subject to the following limitations and conditions: (a) you will be required to enter into a separate written agreement with Apple (or an Apple affiliate or subsidiary) before any commercial distribution of your Work may take place; and (b) Apple may determine for any reason and in its sole discretion not to select your Work for distribution.
It wouldn't be unusual for Apple to exert this level of control over content, but that doesn't make it any the less irksome. Given the pushback they faced following subscriptions, if this isn't an error from the outset, Apple will need to walk it back

iBooks Author EULA claims all paid content is exclusive to Apple
Unless I'm misreading this (always possible), this is no different from any content-for-pay arrangement. If a publisher hires you to write for them, or if you sell something you've already written to them, you cannot then sell that same work to another publisher.
In this case, Apple is not just the distributor, they're the publisher. You are under no obligation to sell them anything, but if you enter into this agreement, and accept their fee, they own it. Not unreasonable
Let's see. Apple provides you the tools to create the content for free. They provide you a place to sell it with a ridiculous audience base for no up front cost (correct? only time you would pay apple for content sold via iBooks is when something is actually sold). In return, they state that you can ONLY use them. I don't know, but I don't see an issue here.
Now, if they 1) didn't provide the authoring tools for free OR 2) said you can only distribute via iBooks for free and paid content, then there would be a problem. I don't see it here.
I generally agree with what you say in that I have no problem with Apple providing me a free tool to create these books in exchange for only publishing on the iBooks store. If they really want this to take off right out of the gates, it'd be great if they release iBooks Author for Windows as well as OSX.
Apple didn't build this book-making tool and give it away for free so that people could make a book and sell it somewhere else. Maybe if you had to buy the creator app then it would be one thing, but it seems perfectly reasonable that Apple would impose this considering they give their app away for free. Make your book in another piece of software if you want to sell it on multiple platforms.
if you publish with McGraw-Hill or any other publisher they get exclusive rights and you can't sell the same work elsewhere so how can they be upset with Apple?
Typo? Develops or Developers? :-)
I completely agree with John & Alex - makes perfect sense.
Why do people bend over for Apple? I bet if google or MS did they would cry foul.
You're exactly right. It's precisely that two-faced, hypocritical aspect of Apple fans that pushed me away from Apple. I own a Macbook Pro and an iPad, and I used to own an iPhone. I moved from iPhone to Windows Phone (mostly as a test, since there was a return policy, but the OS is so good I can't imagine going back to iOS again), and later this year I'll move to a Windows 8 ARM tablet and abandon my iPad entirely. As for my Macbook Pro...well, it's already running Windows 7 95% of the time, and that's just how it's going to be.
While one person can't undo all the damage Apple does, as a Systems Engineer and integrator I can at least do my part to move people away from Apple's products and services, and I do so on a regular basis (which iCloud has made very easy, given what an awful product it is)
Im a huge fan of iPad and iBooks. But I can't imagine any author in his right mind using this. This basically says you will only ever sell your work to owners of Apple products! That's shooting yourself in the foot IMO. So many people use kindles, nooks, and other Android or Windows devices to read, without access to iBooks. You're basically saying, "yeah, I'm not interested in selling to them".
I know this is now a few months after the storm has broken.
But as the dust has settled there is another EULA problem that arises.
I freelance on Elance and there are more and more jobs coming up for layouts to be done in iBooksAuthor. Any freelancer who gets paid for outputting work in iBooksA and getting paid for his/her work is in breach of the EULA and will be sued!!!

Concurrent enrollment in CSIS 18L is required. COREQUISITE: CSIS 18L UNIX/C++ Programming Lab
Advisory: CSIS 48 UNIX Operating System, CSIS 10 BASIC Programming or other programming experience.
Transferable: CSU; UC
End of catalog description.
Instructor: Dennie Van Tassel
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Office Hours: 1.0 hour before class when this class is meeting. Open computer lab, Sundays, , at Morgan Hill Community center. The lab is available for you to work during that time.
Assignment sheet: If you sign up for the class and tell me, I can e-mail you the assignment sheet for the class so you can start early, but I will not send you the assignment sheet until you sign up for the class.
Campus web address: http://www.gavilan.edu
The web site is good place to look for a wide variety of information, such as college catalog, course description, phone numbers, etc.
Course welcome page: http://hhh.gavilan.edu/dvantassel/csis18/welcome18.html
Hours: Hybrid class, lecture Tuesdays 6:00 PM, at Morgan Hill site, or take it as an online class. Most all students that come to Lectures complete the course with a high grade. By contrast less than 70% of the students that do NOT attend lecture pass the course. This problem is particularly true if you do not have programming experience, such as the Advisory course: CSIS 10 BASIC Programming. While the class is meeting I will be available online at hours/day later indicated.
Instructor class description:
This class is a second level programming class. We assume you have other programming experience, OR you have taken our first level programming course, CSIS 10 BASIC Programming. Also you need experience with Linux/UNIX systems and able to create files on a Linux system, such as you learned in CSIS 48 Linux/UNIX OS. We will work through much of the assigned textbook. You will need the textbook the first meeting of class.
Student Responsibilities: If you are taking the lecture version come to class. Read the text. You need spend several hours EVERY week on this class. If you disappear AND stop working on this class, I may drop you.
Texts & Materials: Programming in C, by Stephen Kochan, 3th edition 2004, (ISBN-10: 0-672-32666-3). An older edition Programming in ANSI C (ISBN-10 0-672-30339-6), 1994, is ok and MUCH cheaper, from www.amazon.com or www.half.com. Or you can use the above supplied ISBN and got to the Web site: http://www.campusbooks.com/ and they will provide a comparison shopping for your textbook.
You cannot take this class with out the required textbook since I give you assignments out of the book. You will be able to save your files on our Linux system.
You can save yourself a lot of wasted time and learn a lot more if you read the textbook. Read the first 2 chapters of the book the first week. The first programming assignments from the textbook is to type in the program on page 16 and get it working. Please put comments in all your programs with the page number of the program/assignment and your name.
Assignment: Log into the Online system for this class and do the assignment "Tell me about you."
You can do your programming homework at the computer labs on campus.
Attend class: Do not get behind in the class. The class is accumulative. What you learn this week will be used to do the work next week. If you miss classes you will soon be lost. Plan to miss no classes. Bring your textbook and all handouts to class each meeting.
Course Learning Outcomes
The student will create, execute, and test C++ programs using calculations and decision statements. The student will create, execute, and test C++ programs using loops, arrays, and pointers. The student will create, execute, and test C++ programs using functions. The student will create execute, and test C++ programs using structures, classes, and objects. The student will create, execute, and test C++ programs using standard input/output, character I/O and file I/O. The student will evaluate and select the best programming method to solve problems.
Grading: This course has Credit/No Credit Option. You will normally get a grade in the class, but if you fill out a Credit/No Credit petition before 1/3 of the class has passed, you can take the class for credit/no credit. Petitions are available at the office or registrar. Please tell me if you do request a Credit/No Credit Option. In order to get a Credit, you need to earn at least a C grade.
If you want or need a good grade because you want to transfer to a 4-year school, are on academic probation, want a scholarship, or just want good grades do the work for a good grade. Don't bother telling me you need a good grade the last week if you have not done the work for a good grade.
Incompletes: I seldom give incompletes and never give them just because you have not done the work. Almost no one ever finishes an Incomplete. Occasionally, people that have been doing the class work have severe family or personal problems and I do give them an Incomplete.
Drops: If you stop attending class, you must fill out a class drop form or you will get an F grade in the class. This does not do you, me, or the school any good. So if you stop taking the class, drop it at the A&R office.
Special needs: If you have special needs such as hearing problem, visual problems, or other needs, please tell me after class and I will try to assist you.
After all that, this is a fun class. You will learn a lot that will help you in your other classes and help you obtain useful job skills.
I am interested in suggestions about assignments, lectures, and the material covered.
The next class you might want to take is CSIS 45 C++ Programming I (uses Microsoft Windows), CSIS 46 C++ Programming II, or CSIS 54 Perl Programming.

HELLO LOVERS. Remember me?
I've been enjoying some colours that I wanted to share.
Sometimes I wear navy blue (old thing) and yellow (new thing) and have my photograph taken by lovely street style people.
Sometimes I wear purple (borrowed from Oasis) and pink (mine) and maskerade masks.
Sometimes I stand next to Alexxsia and it's captured for prosperity! (She doesn't really do colours except for those natty borrowed gloves and that luscious mane.)
Sometimes I buy £2 crazy colours from the hair shop on my road and put them in my hair. Lavender!
And, sometimes, I wear gold and take unflattering photobooth photos. In a childs star costume. I would blame the champagne, but I can't. I really can't. (Thanks, Tesco!)
I've got lots coming up on WW, so I hope you're still around. Are you still out there?

By Master Sgt. Stephen Barrett, USAAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14, 1996 President Clinton nominated Air Force Lt. Gen. George T. Babbitt to become director of the Defense Logistics Agency at Fort Belvoir, Va. Babbitt, 54, currently serves as the Air Force deputy chief of staff for logistics at the Pentagon.
Pending congressional approval, Babbitt would replace Navy Vice Adm. Edward M. Straw. The assignment would also mark Babbitt's return to the agency, where he served as deputy director for materiel management from April 1994 to June 1995.
Babbitt has spent most of his military career in Air Force logistics. He trained as an aircraft maintenance officer and served as a fighter flight line officer in the United States, the Pacific and Europe. Babbitt twice commanded aircraft maintenance squadrons and was deputy commander for maintenance of a European F-15 wing.
His recent assignments include director of logistics for both the Air Force Air Training Command and U.S. Air Forces in Europe and director of supply for the Air Force. He became the Air Force logistics chief in June 1995.
Babbitt is a 1965 graduate of the University of Washington in Seattle, earning a mechanical engineering degree and his commission through the school's ROTC program. In 1970, he earned his masters in logistics management from the Air Force Institute of Technology, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
He is also a 1978 graduate of the Armed Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Va., and a 1986 Air War College graduate while at Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala. Babbitt also completed management programs at Kellogg School of Business, Northwestern University, in Chicago and at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, in Cambridge, Mass.
Babbitt's awards include the Distinguished Service Medal, the Defense Superior Service Medal and the Legion of Merit. He also holds the Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Air Force Commendation Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with three service stars and Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm.
Babbitt and his wife, Louise, have a son, Ian, and a daughter, Megan.

Very nice drawing. Toes well done.
Thanks, Charlie.
jcurry, your 'slip up' shows how proud you are. Congrats on the promotion!
You did a good job on drawing the cute feet. I think it's just as challenging as drawing the hand and fingers.

Recipe by DOREENBUCH
"Excellent for a dinner party - easy too! Chicken breasts can be cooked ahead of time, and re-warmed, leaving the sauce for the end!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

4 tablespoons
boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup
dry vermouth
2 tablespoons
onion, chopped
1/4 cup
dry vermouth
1 cup
sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
This is absolutely wonderful. The sauce is great over rice.
I think there should be less butter used in general, and this will make for a thicker sauce. I can see how it would be really great with rice, however. Just add some salt and pepper to taste and it's not too bland, but don't expect an explosion of flavor.
10 Ratings
I have to confess that I made this mostly to use up a bunch of extra vermouth I had laying around. I didnt really have very high hopes for it, so I wasn't disappointed. I wouldn't say that it lacked flavor, it was very strong with the vermouth flavor. But something about the sour cream sauce made it appear very unappetizing. Overall, I would say that it wasn't bad, but I wouldn't make it again. I'll just have a martini next time I need to use up vermouth.
I thought this was a very simple and tasty dish. I did make a few changes for the ingredients that I had around the kitchen. First I used Sherry in place of vermouth, and the sour cream I had was seasoned with lipton french onion soup mix. It was very enjoyable, and I strongly suggest the dish with the changes I made.
a little bland
My boyfriend and I did not like this. The sour cream taste was too strong and the sauce was too watery. It maybe better if the sauce was drier.
I didn't have vermouth, so I used Marsala wine instead. The taste was fine - I mixed the extra sauce with rice, and it was tasty. But the presentation is not super appealing. This is something I would make when I don't have a meal plan and haven't been to the grocery store. Not a dish I would make for company because it looks like something out of the 50s.
Super easy, super delicious, super satisfying! I read a review that the sauce comes out too sour cream-y, so I added 1 tbsp of garlic to the sauce base, and 1 tsp of Italian seasoning to the chicken. We nearly licked the plates clean! Can't wait to make it again!

I LOVE SLED DRAGGING more on that later though..
Squat Day
Parallel squats
250x3 (vid)
Front Squats
165x5 (vid)
Calf Raises
345x5 + 345x5 + 345x5
Good workout. I got 2 vids today just for form check. My legs were really pumped after this but me and my buddy decided to go do sled drags
Sled Dragging
90lbs x 140yards (full speed)
90lbs x 140yards (120yd full speed, 20yd walk)
Couldnt complete my last set. I felt like I was gonna throw up, was really dizzy and had to lay down. Next time I will bring a stop watch so we can time ourselves. I have to say sled dragging is one of the hardest things I have ever done running wise. I had to come home and just put the shower on and lay down for 20 minutes. I recommend dragging to EVERYONE no matter what your sport. I could hardly walk after this and I didnt even do that much, although it was after a heavy leg session. I'm gonna talk to anthony to see what he does during his sled dragging routines. I just cant get over how hard this **** was. Honestly it just goes to show how bad my cardio is.
What do you guys do as a sled dragging routine? We kinda just jumped right into it. Probably shoulda done some warmups with lighter weight but I figured I was already warmed up from my leg workout.

Watercoloring made easy…
Happy Friday!
Today I just wanted to share a bit about watercoloring, as it is a great way to color in stamped images. To be honest, I have never been all that great at watercoloring, as I find it takes more patience and time than I have. :) But after playing over the years, I have found a few easy tips to make watercoloring fast and easy - and fun. (If you are interested in a more informative, "correct" way to watercolor, be sure to check out Lisa Spangler's excellent video HERE.)
This first card shows several of my watercoloring tips:
- Use watercolor paper. It is much more forgiving and allows for lots of layering of color. By layering, you can get vibrant colors. For these roses, I used red, orange and pink colors.
- Paint in your images and then cut them out. Then you don't have to bother staying in the lines!
- Be sure to leave your painting a bit splotchy. After all, you want it to look like you painted it, right? It adds to the artsy feel.
- If you aren't good at determining colors for flowers, find a photo to "copy" from. Just do a Google search for certain flowers. For mine, I used a wedding photo.
For these roses, I actually used my Distress Inks as watercolors. This is my favorite! Just press ink onto an acrylic mount (or another non-absorbent surface) and spray it with water. Voila! You have watercolor paint. Love this! (To see this technique, check out THIS fab video by Shari Carroll. She is a pro at this.) Oh, and this card is for my husband. The roses look like those in our wedding…
- Special Moments
- Everyday Sayings
- Antique Flower Background
- Black Staz-On Ink (on clear piece), Artprint Brown and Black Memories Ink
- Chocolate Notecards
- Clear Gemstones (colored with Copic Markers)
- Other: Tim Holtz Fragment (clear piece), Distress Inks (Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick and Spiced Marmalade), vintage textbook paper, watercolor paper (the thick, inexpensive notepad type found at Office Depot in the art section), Creative Impressions silk ribbon
This next card uses basic watercolors and demonstrates a few more watercolor tips. Again, these are tips for making it quick and easy to do…
- Mix colors for more dimension. See the leaves on this card? I used dark green and lime.
- Watercolors are great for a soft sky background. First, just paint the surface with plain water to get it wet. Then go back with a bit of blue. This helps to even it out and make it faster.
- As you are working, keep a heat gun in your other hand. Heating it speeds drying, so you can know if you need to add more color or not.
- Friend
- Flower Background
- Ruby and Black Memories Ink
- Watercolor Paint Wheel
- Medium and Small Pearls
- Other: Creative Impressions twine, Fiskars border punch, watercolor paper
OK…these next cards are about REALLY fast watercoloring with a watercolor pencils. Here are some great tips I have stumbled upon while playing…
- Instead of stamping your image with black dye ink, instead stamp with black pigment ink and emboss with clear powder. The embossed image will resist the watercolor, forcing you to stay in the lines! This REALLY speeds up the coloring process. I promise - try it! I recommend this for all watercoloring.
- Just use watercolor pencils to scribble color here and there. (Check out my example image below.) Then just grab a wet brush and blend them. It really is quick to do and works great. (For more help on watercolor pencils, check out the helpful video by Sally Traidman HERE.)
- Looking for a bit of pearly shine? Try what I did here: Mix a dot of Liquid Pearls with water and paint over the final watercolored images. When it dries, you will be left with a pearly shine. It's a great touch on simple cards like these…
- Flower Blossom Borders
- Everyday Sayings
- Clear Embossing Powder
- Liquid Pearls
- Other: Staedtler watercolor pencils, Ranger black embossing ink, cream watercolor paper, EK Success 5/8″ circle punch (to cut the corner notches)
Here you can see how I scribble the pencils in the image, and how finishing with Liquid Pearls and water adds a pearly shine. (Click to see bigger.)
Well, I hope you have had fun with these coloring tips…especially the ones that help with quick coloring. After all, the less time we spend coloring, the more time we have left to make more cards.
Happy Friday,

Leading supplier of AC drives, Vacon is strengthening its foothold in the solar energy business. The company has received new orders from Czech Republic, Italy and Belgium.
– Vacon's business is clean technology, distinguished by two growth areas. One is the long-established field of controlling electric motors with AC drives, and the other one is our product offering for harnessing renewable energy, says Olli Tevä, Marketing Director for Vacon's Renewable Energy Applications.
– According to research, the growth in the solar energy market has been exceptionally fast. This year, we have received a remarkable amount of orders in the Czech Republic, totalling over 100 megawatts.
In Italy Vacon has got into full speed with orders of several megawatts in total. The company has received its first order from Belgium as well.
– Towards the end of the year, Vacon will solidify its presence in the solar energy business in different parts of the world, promises Tevä.
Earlier this year, Vacon gained know-how in the solar energy sector by acquiring a small Spanish company that specializes in the design of solar energy inverters. As a result, Vacon has now designed Vacon 8000 Solar, a flagship product for solar energy applications from 10 kilowatts to 1 megawatt.
Compared to Vacon's main business, AC Converters, its entry into the solar energy market is still modest. In its company presentation Vacon states discreetly: "Vacon's operations are driven by a passion to develop, manufacture and sell the best AC drives in the world — and nothing else".

Lehigh Provost Patrick Farrell introduces William F. Brinkman, director of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, during a recent Lehigh visit. Brinkman makes the case for the crucial role that science must play in the drive to clean energy. Watch his full presentation.

William F. Brinkman, director of the U.S. Department of Energy office that is the nation's single largest funding supporter of basic research in the physical sciences, made the case for the crucial role science must play in the drive to clean energy during a Lehigh visit.
As head of the DOE's Office of Science, Brinkman oversees a budget that includes $4.7 billion in appropriations, plus an additional $1.6 billion from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The office provides more than 40 percent of total funding for research in the physical sciences, and is the principal federal funding agency for research programs in high-energy physics, nuclear physics and fusion energy sciences.
Addressing an audience that included members of the university's board of trustees, administration, faculty, staff and students at Linderman Library Thursday, Brinkman outlined the scientific evidence that rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere contribute to rising surface temperatures globally.
He cited data gathered by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite, which show that the rate of ice mass loss in Greenland has more than doubled, from 137 gigatons (GT) per year in 2002-03 to 286 GT per year in 2007-09. Similar results have been found in Antarctica, which has seen the rate of ice mass loss increase from 104 GT per year from 2002-06 to 246 GT per year from 2006-09.
He also summarized evidence that CO2 levels in the atmosphere have increased substantially, from below 280 parts per million (ppm) before 1800 to 388 ppm currently.
Funding across the spectrum
After reviewing the evidence, Brinkman said: "At least one thing you can say is that the CO2 in the atmosphere surely has come from fossil fuels."
To prevent the global surface temperature from rising more than 2.5 degrees Celsius (or about 4 degrees Farenheit) by 2050, Brinkman said it is imperative that total emissions of CO2 not exceed 1,000 GT between 2000 and 2050. However, from 2000 to 2010, we averaged CO2 emissions rates of 33 GT per year—meaning we must reduce our emissions by a factor of 8 over the next four decades, he said.
"That's a huge, huge challenge," Brinkman said.
That's why the Office of Science is funding research across the energy spectrum, from carbon capture and sequestration to solar energy, and from biofuels to nuclear power.
"We've got to attack the whole picture," he said.
His office is supporting research to develop new technologies and new materials, all with an eye toward increasing efficiency while lowering costs. Over the past three decades, for example, the cost competitiveness of solar power has increased dramatically.
But it still costs an average of $4/watt, which makes it too expensive, he said. If the cost to produce solar energy can be lowered to around $1/watt, it will be competitive enough cost-wise to play a larger role in our nation's energy needs, he said.
Brinkman was senior research physicist at Princeton University before he was named to the DOE post in 2009. He previously was vice president of research for both Bell Laboratories and the DOE's Sandia National Laboratories.
Brinkman concluded his presentation by showing the old Army recruiting poster depicting Uncle Sam pointing his finger at the viewer, with the slogan: "I Want You!"
"I think energy issues are the leading issues of our era," he said. "We're going to have to mobilize the country in a way that's similar to the way we mobilized around Sputnik and the way we mobilized around World War II."

Feb. 22, 2010
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--University of New Mexico senior center fielder Max Willett has been named the Mountain West Conference Player of the Week and junior transfer Mike Lachapelle has been named the MWC Pitcher of the Week as announced by the conference office today. Willett had a sensational series this weekend as the Lobos took two of three games from the top-ranked team in the nation, Texas. Willett was 7-for-11 against the top pitching staff in the nation on their home field and hit .636 with two doubles and one triple. Lachapelle scattered seven hits over six innings and allowed one run against the nation's top lineup. This is the second career award for Willett and the first for Lachapelle.
"It's an honor," said Willett. "It feels good. We expected to win some games up there and we were focused. The whole team is on cloud nine right now but we know we've got a lot of baseball left to play."
"It feels great, said Lachapelle. "We went in there and played our game. We made a statement to the country that we've got a legitimate program and that we've got a chance to do some big things."
Willett, a senior from Highlands Ranch, Colo., went 2-for-4 with a double on Friday. Willett went 3-for-4 with a triple and one run on Saturday. His sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth inning drove in the winning run in a 6-5 decision for the Lobos. On Sunday, Willett was 2-for-3 with a double and two runs. Willett scored the go ahead run in the top of the fifth inning on Sunday.
Lachapelle pitched five scoreless innings against a Texas lineup that features five batters from last season's College World Series runner-up team. The transfer from Pima Community College pitched six innings giving up one hit and one earned run, while striking out one Longhorn batter.
The Lobos open up at home against Northern Colorado on Feb. 26-28. Fans can purchase the Olympic Sports Pass. The Olympic Sports Pass grants fans entrance to Lobo baseball and softball. For prices for the Olympic Sports Click HERE. For more information visit, www.GoLobos.com.

Interesting thing about this magazine -- produced by the go-to publisher for such things at the time, Starlog -- almost every trace of Richard Pryor being in the movie was omitted.
Pryor was a top-billed actor in the movie (second only to Christopher Reeve), playing computer genius Gus Gorman. This was at the height of Pryor's career, and as a result of Superman III the actor/comedian signed a 5-picture deal with Columbia. (It is said that Pryor got the Superman gig when producer Ilya Salkind saw him on The Tonight Show praising Superman II).
So why "scrub" Pryor from the Superman III magazine? I mean, there is hardly any trace of his character or his name anywhere in this publication, and no picture of the standard movie poster with Reeve carrying Pryor. No images of him in the posters, and, strangest of all, he's simply skipped over in the character profile section.
To give you some perspective on this, imagine if the high-paid "guest star" of a current blockbuster film -- his or her character integral to the plot -- was nowhere to be found in the official movie magazine. It would seem odd, no?
After reading over the magazine several times, I've found three mentions of Pryor/Gorman. The first is this sentence from the "Making Of Superman III" article, referring to the part of Gorman: "The role fell to comedian Richard Pryor, a confessed Superman fan." That's the only mention of Pryor. Then two mentions of Gus Gorman when explaining the poster images, though he is never depicted.
|Concept poster art from the Superman III fan site
There can be several reasons for this. First, perhaps Pryor's handlers didn't give permission to use his image, or asked for too much money to use it. That's entirely possible, and similar things have happened in magazines and other licensed product containing the likenesses of actors. But then what was the point of spending so much money on Pryor to co-star in Superman III if he wouldn't approve likenesses for publicity reasons? It seems counter-productive. I mean, he was in the trading cards, on the cover of the novelisation, and in the UK poster magazine.
|The infamous giant foam cowboy hat
And it almost looks like Gus Gorman was "grafted" onto this plot rather than being an organic part of it (supposedly Gus was was originally going to be Brainiac, and the victim of the infamous robot-transformation scene at the end). Was this done simply to make a buck off of Pryor's fame? Critics and fans alike blamed Pryor's inclusion in the picture for making it overly-campy. To this day, nobody (except maybe Michel Gondry, though I have not asked him) seems to be happy with Gorman (or, let's face it, Superman III).
So did the magazine just minimize his role in the film because he was unpopular?
Perhaps we will never know. It's a pretty small, nitpicky thing, anyway -- though the issue seems to have continued to the present day. Here is the DVD case for the latest edition of Superman III:
Again -- Pryor is gone. Though at this late date, we could simply point at the unpopularity of the Gorman character as being the culprit (Robert Vaughn seems to be the big winner in all this). I mean, almost every aspect of the Superman movies have been reflected on/winked at in the subsequent TV series, movies, and comics such as Smallville. But what about Superman III? It is almost as if, like Pryor's partcipation in the movie, everybody (except that rogue Gondry) just wishes it had never existed at all.
Oh, and in case you are wondering: there are two images of the scary robot-lady in the magazine, though, unfortunately (or fortunately), no posters.

As much as the stereotype of the solitary painter working alone and
shutting him- or herself off from the world makes artists seem
mysterious and cool, I've found that artists tend to be fairly social
creatures, and their cool factor isn't lessened by their sense of
community. Sometimes this is situational—you are in a painting or
drawing workshop or class, and you swap stories and commiserate and
encourage your fellow students because you are working through the same
issues and assignments.
I used to think so romantically about Monet, Pissarro, and the other
Impressionists. Not romantic like Manet is so dreamy; romantic as in
idealizing this particular group of painters—thinking they stepped
outside of their studios and, snap, Impressionism just happened.
Veneration can sometimes blind the mind's eye to all the toil and
planning that goes behind an elegant masterpiece. The reality is that
the Impressionists were strategists, thinkers, and pioneering
technicians when it came to the art they produced.
Robert Johnson strikes the perfect balance between master artist and
down-to-earth mentor, supporting his students while pushing them to
create the best works that they can. At a recent three-day workshop
sponsored by The Art League School in Alexandria, Virginia, Johnson led
students through the stages of creating a still life floral painting
with oils. He was engaging from the very beginning, starting with a
three-hour demonstration, during which he fielded questions about
brushstroke technique, supplies, color-palette choices, and the
attributes of his favored medium, which happens to be Gamsol.
I've grown to appreciate floral paintings. Of course, flowers are nice
to look at, and I recognize the technical skill needed to paint them,
but I wasn't always certain of the appeal of the subject matter. The
question of how an artist approaches a bouquet of roses or a pot of
fuchsias in a unique and fresh way often stymied me.
No matter the venue, the accepted rule of thumb is that a painting
should always be hung just above eye level. As a result, many artists
create paintings with this point of view. Louisiana artist Mitchell Long
seeks to subvert this expectation by manipulating vantage points in his
paintings of landscapes, cityscapes, and interiors. He often makes the
horizon line loom low or stretch high, or manipulates the picture plane
so that viewers feel small—or as though they are floating a few feet
off the ground.
Storytelling often comes naturally to artists. Sometimes the story
starts on a single canvas or sheet of paper and doesn't end until there
is a gallery full of paintings, a suite of drawings, a set of
illustrations, a series of fantasy art comic strips, or an entire
graphic novel. Certain subject matters compel an artist to revisit them
again and again, building on a concept or pushing it in different
directions. The narrative can be a visible part of the artwork, in the
form of a written story, but oftentimes it acts as an invisible
framework that guides an artist through the creative process.

Mercedes is changing their cruise control to a different location on newer designs.
Too bad, once you get used to the stalk at 10 o'clock it is the best system out there.
I had a 2010 Infiniti M35 x, truly a great car, one of the nicest cars I owned. But with that said, some of the issues I had with the Infiniti was tires. I would go through tires aprox. every 15000 miles at $1200 a set. I would always rotate, have the front end aligned, and drive on the conservative side. Unfortunately the dealer's response would be the car is on the heavy side and they tend to go through tires and brakes. At 14000 miles I went through rear brakes, which I found odd, and ended up replace the front brakes at 20000 miles. Also the exterior finish for a 54000 dollar car was terrible. I was also recently looking to purchase a new G37x, I overheard a person at the dealership talking abut how he replaces tires. the moment I heard that I left the dealership. WHo wants to spend a grand or more every year on tires.
Curious...I'm debating between G37x and MB C3004MATIC.
Why did you leave Ininity for MB?
Now at 7665 miles and you were right.
I've adjusted to the odd position of the cruise stalk.
Still think the car is great.
Not one single problem with it so far.
The C300 is worth every penny to own.
I love it!

Icy weather cuts power for many in Durham and Orange
About 36,000 Duke Energy customers in Orange and Durham counties lost power overnight Thursday due to what residents hope was the last gasp of winter weather.
Statewide, more than 460,000 power outages were reported, prompting Gov. Pat McCrory to declare a state of emergency.
In this area, Orange County was hardest hit, with 30,000 customers without power starting around midnight due to toppled trees or lines overburdened by ice from freezing rain. That's more than half the energy provider's 48,918 customers in Orange.
By noon Friday in Durham, 6,003 customers remained without power in 95 outage locations.
Michael Coyne, whose family lives in the Waterford neighborhood in northern Durham, said he heard a transformer blow as lights went out in his home.
"Not sure of the exact cause, but there were a couple of power company trucks working on the lines on an adjacent street before the power came back, and plenty of trees and branches down," Coyne said.
Everyone already had bundled up for bed when the power failed, he said, and the temperature in the house didn't fall below 60 degrees.
"We were just heading out in search of warm food when the power came back on" about 9:30 a.m., he said.
In Orange, the town of Hillsborough reported slushy roads and low-hanging branches blocking streets.
Most of the town was without power Friday, including two stations used to pump sewage, according to Jerry Wagner, Hillsborough's fire marshal and emergency management coordinator.
"Utilities crews are manually pumping sewage from the holding wells of stations that do not have a generator," Wagner said in a news release.
As rain let up Friday afternoon, the National Weather Service delivered more bad news: a black ice advisory, until 9 a.m. on Saturday. Temperatures expected to fall into the upper 20s and lower 30s would re-freeze residual snow and ice on area roads.
Duke Energy officials on Friday noted that they started preparing a response to the icy weather early this week. Crews left largely unaffected areas to help places with widespread outages, including Durham, Chapel Hill and Hillsborough.
"We have seen outages in the Carolinas due to freezing rain and ice in the early morning," said Jeff Corbett, senior vice president of Duke Energy's Carolinas Delivery Operations. "We'd like to thank our customers in advance for their patience as we work as quickly and safely as possible to restore power."
Their crews didn't have an estimate for getting the lights back on as crews continued to assess damage.
In areas without power, motorists were reminded to treat intersections with non-functioning traffic signals as a four-way stop.
For safety, officials said, people should consider all power lines to be energized and to avoid any that are sagging or fallen.
The N.C. Department of Transportation assigned crews to clear roads of slush, snow and fallen trees. Officials with NCDOT cited fallen trees as their biggest problem in Durham, where they focused on cutting and moving them off roads.
Icy weather also played havoc with rail transportation. Amtrak's northbound Carolinian train, which left Charlotte at 7 a.m. Friday, found itself stranded on tracks south of High Point for several hours because fallen power lines made the tracks impassable. Ultimately, Amtrak decided to return the train to the depot in Salisbury. Passengers were taken by bus to Kannapolis and Charlotte.
Arborists and landscaping crews for the city of Durham – more than a dozen people – lost count of the fallen trees they'd handled since about 2 a.m., said Kevin Lilley of the city's General Services department.
While responding to a call about one tree, he said, they might find three more on the way.
"The calls came primarily from north of (Interstate) 85 and west of Guess Road," Lilley said. "The further north and west we went, the worse it became."
He said city crews hadn't stepped down from preparation mode, dealing with the third major event in just a couple of months.
They're as ready as anyone else for spring to arrive.
"I was ready for it two months ago," Lilley said.
