After graduating from Burt High School in 1958, Wilma was awarded a full scholarship to attend Tennessee State University in Nashville where she would run for Coach Temple as an official Tigerbelle. Her scholarship was financial aid that required her to work on campus to earn the scholarship money, which is very different from the athletic scholarships available to female athletes today. Wilma had not run track since the summer before her senior year due to her pregnancy, but she had been preparing to be one of Coach Temple's full-fledged Tennessee State Tigerbelles since her first summer at Tennessee State in 1955. Robert had asked Wilma to marry him and start a family together, but Wilma's father was against it and still blamed him for getting Wilma pregnant. Her family wanted Wilma to receive a college education and continue her track career, hopefully making the team for the next Olympic Games.
Wilma was excited to be a Tigerbelle and was determined to qualify for the 1960 Olympics. She knew that attending Tennessee State would help her achieve this goal. It was still a difficult decision, because Wilma's father was very sick making it impossible for her mother to take care of baby Yolanda. Wilma realized it would have been very difficult for her to attend college, run track, and take care of her daughter. She arranged for her older sister Yvonne, in St. Louis, to take care of baby Yolanda so she could attend college and run track. By the end of her freshman year, Wilma's mother decided she could take care of Yolanda. Coach Temple was not willing to bend any rules to make life easier for Wilma and was a strict disciplinarian, which meant she did not get to make trips home to Clarksville to visit her family and child as often as she would have liked to.
Tennessee Agricultural & Industrial State Normal School for Negroes opened in September 1912 to 247 students.
1 That same year, the school fielded their first football team. The school served as the first summer school for African American educators in Tennessee, which was the last segregated state to build a public college for its African American citizens. The university was established as a college to train students to earn their teaching credentials to teach at the elementary and secondary levels. In 1925, the school changed their name to Tennessee A&I State Normal College and in 1927, dropped the word Normal from their title. Soon a graduate school was added and by the 1940s, enrollment was close to 1,500 students. In 1951, the school name was changed to Tennessee A&I State University, but would commonly be referred to as Tennessee State University or Tennessee State.
Tennessee State's women were well represented on the 1956 Olympic team, with the majority of the nine African American women coming from the Tennessee State track team. Tennessee State, a historically Black college, along with Tuskegee, presented Black women an opportunity to receive an education and participate in sport. These historically Black colleges were "pioneers in competitive sport opportunities for women long before the women's movement."
2 When Coach Temple was asked about the problems of fielding a good women's team, he answered with, "We have to take an American girl with her powder and lipstick and develop her into a competitor. She has to be feminine and talented. This combination is hard to find."
3 Despite the rising success of American women in track and field, the sport was still considered masculine and was marginalized in the sporting press, save for every four years with the Olympic Games bringing interest and attention to the sport. Temple, as part of his coaching responsibilities, felt he had the task of insuring that his women would not do anything to perpetuate the negative stereotypes about track and field and the masculinity of the participating women. For example, he instituted a dress code and would not allow the women to be photographed after a race until they had showered and changed into dress clothes.
By the time Wilma enrolled at Tennessee State in the fall of 1958, Coach Temple and the Tigerbelles were on top of the track and field world. African American women were dominating international track and field and were America's best chances against their Soviet counterparts. In 1957, at the AAU outdoor nationals, six Tigerbelles ran against each other in the finals of the 200-meter race. The next year, there were 10 Tigerbelles on scholarship, and all 10 qualified for the Pan-American Games team. That same year, Coach Temple led a team of American women, including seven Tigerbelles (Barbara Jones, Lucinda Williams, Margaret Mathews, Willye White, Martha Hudson, Annie Lois Smith, and Isabelle Daniels) on a European tour of track meets to Moscow, Warsaw, Budapest, and Athens.
4 Wilma missed out on the European competitions because she had just given birth to her daughter and was not able to run. Historian Susan Cahn explained that "by presenting a public image of well-dressed feminine composure, black sports advocates insisted in integrating African American athletes into standards of athletic femininity. This approach continued a tradition of African American resistance in which generations of black women had defended their femininity and sexual virtue against disparaging stereotypes by asserting their morality and respectability."
5 Perhaps these ideas influenced Coach Temple's policy of not allowing his athletes to have children.
Only a few years prior, Ebony magazine had stated that Black female athletes owed their success to their male coaches, explaining that the lady tracksters' performances could never match those of their male counterparts. The magazine concluded that boys were learning "that a girl track star can be as feminine as the china-doll type."
6 Cahn suggests that "when, after decades of media and organizational neglect, American track women suddenly found themselves under the international glare of Cold War athletic rivalries, a complicated matrix of racial and gender issues came to a head. A reservoir of racist beliefs about black women being deficient in femininity buttressed the masculine connotation of track and field. Throughout the Cold War era, the sport was dominated by African American and Soviet women. Thus two symbols of mannishness—black women and Russian 'amazons'—stood in the foreground, impeding efforts to overhaul the sport's reputation."
7 Under the glare of Cold War politics, African American female athletes enjoyed greater media attention and accolades, but at a price that compromised both their race and gender. On one hand, they faced racism from an American society divided by race and still segregated in schools, public facilities, and daily practices. On the other hand, they faced sexism in an American society that devalued their athletic accomplishments in a male dominated sport world, as well as expectations of females and femininity.
The dominance of African American women in track and field posed a problem for American promoters and sport advocates trying to revive "popular interest in a dying sport." Cahn states that track and field promoters had two choices to help the sport; they could "incorporate black track women into approved concepts of athletic womanhood" or they could "minimize the presence and contributions of black women in order to create a more respectable image of the sport."
8 It seemed clear that keeping African American women out of the sport would be difficult; they were America's best hopes for winning medals!
Coach Temple bought into the prescribed images for Black women in sport and did his best to help soften their image to fit into the accepted ideals of femininity. Temple explained, "None of my girls have any trouble getting boyfriends. I tell them that they are young ladies first, track girls second."
9 His strategy paid off in many ways. One of the first lessons a Tigerbelle learned was that she was "a lady first" and a "track lady second." Another one of Temple's sayings was "I don't want oxes, I want foxes." Years later he explained his philosophy. "I wanted nice looking girls who took care of themselves who could also run. I had it in mind that if we went someplace, I wanted a stranger to wonder, 'What do you young ladies do? Do you sing or are you a debating team?' I wanted this because at that time, there was a real dilemma over women participating in sports. People used to say that if the girls got muscles they could never have babies. I was determined to overcome that kind of stuff. I was going to prove to the world that you could be feminine and still get the job done."
10 To help achieve this Temple instituted three rules; his runners had to complete their college education, they had to be on time for everything, and there was a strictly defined coach–athlete relationship.
Davis marks this Tigerbelle era as an important break from the previous images of women's track stars, which had been viewed as "muscular, masculine women."
11 To some Americans, having a child, as Wilma had done, confirmed her femininity and womanhood at a time when it was in question for many African American female athletes. At the same time, however, it reinforced ideas about poor Black females having children at too young an age. Wilma's role as a mother was never used to promote a feminine image in track. Perhaps because she bore her daughter without being married, which at the time did not fit into traditional ideas about family, femininity, and motherhood.
It was into this world of conflicting views on womanhood and athleticism that Wilma entered college as a mother and international athlete. She was no longer a high school runner at Coach Temple's summer program, she was a college athlete and an official Tennessee State Tigerbelle. This move to the college level was significant and carried new responsibilities. Coach Temple was very demanding on his athletes and made the athletes run an extra lap for every minute they were late to practice. Rudolph once overslept practice by 30 minutes and had to run 30 extra laps. The next day she was sitting on the track 30 minutes early.
Adjusting to college life was difficult for Wilma, especially balancing school work and running track. She was majoring in elementary education and had a minor in psychology. She had to keep up good grades to stay on the team. She frequently lost to her teammates and was frustrated with her inconsistent performances. At times, balancing everything was a challenge and Wilma considered quitting school until one day one of her professors, Mr. Knight, asked her to consider two things. First, he reminded her that her baby was in good hands with her family. He also pressed her to consider all the sacrifices she had made for track and wondered if she was really willing to throw all her hard work away. Wilma credits that conversation with her decision to stick things out and stay in school.
Wilma was surrounded by talented teammates, some of who had been her Olympic teammates, such as Margaret Mathews, Lucinda Williams, Isabelle Daniels, and Willye White. Margaret Mathews spoke to the conflicts the women faced when it came to the issue of femininity; "I found out you don't have to be pretty to be recognized, to be known, to be somebody. Some people are partial; some people like pretty people, attractive people. Others, if you have the talent, it doesn't matter; and that's how it was with Mrs. Morgan [her physical education teacher and coach]. She was never partial; she always gave us an equal chance and I think that's what gave me the incentive to really want to be somebody."
12 She was referring to her high school coach Marian Armstrong-Perkins, who had been a chaperone for the Tigerbelle summer program and several U.S. women's teams. Willye White also admitted the tensions she felt as a female athlete; "It is pretty difficult being all female, you know, because you are out there on the track and you're in all the dirt and grime and grit doing the same thing the boys are doing, and you don't carry yourself as feminine as some girls would. You're not as dainty as they are because most times your feet hurt, you have sore muscles, and it's pretty difficult to be all woman out on the track. This is something that you just can't be; you gotta let yourself go, whereas the average women is constantly fixing her makeup or combing her hair and trying to look pretty. Well, when you're out on the track with makeup and you start sweating, it smears; and that makes you look worse. So what you do is your hard work and you look ugly out on the track and after the track meet is over you come back, fix yourself up, and then you're a pretty lady."
13 Just as Coach Temple had his rules about postrace interviews and the appearance of his athletes, the Tigerbelles were also cognizant of the pressures they faced to appear feminine.
In addition to her 1956 Olympic teammates, other talented Tigerbelles running with Wilma at Tennessee State included Shirley Crowder and Barbara Jones. Shirley was from Temple, Georgia, and graduated from Booker T. Washington High School. Shirley, who a year earlier had lent Wilma her blue prom dress, did not make the 1956 Olympics team because she tripped over a hurdle at the Olympic Trials. Shirley, however, did win the 80-meter hurdle championship at the AAU outdoor meet in 1957.
14 Wilma and Shirley first met in the summer of 1955 when they both attended Coach Temple's summer program. Like Wilma, Shirley had been a star basketball player in high school.
Barbara Jones, also a Tigerbelle, had won a gold medal in the 4x100-meter relay for the United States in the 1952 Olympic Games. Barbara grew up in the South Side of Chicago and had run for the Catholic Youth Organization in Chicago. When she lost to three Tigerbelles at the 1956 Olympic Trials in the 100-meter race and failed to qualify for the Olympic team, Mae Faggs told her "The thing you need to do is come down to Tennessee State and learn what training is all about."
15 So she did.
Running on the Tigerbelle track team was going well for Wilma. Wilma thought that she was even faster after having her baby. Still, she routinely lost races to her teammates and was inconsistent in her performances during her freshman and sophomore years due to injuries and illnesses. She finally was examined by a doctor and had a tonsillectomy. The tonsil infection had been bothering her for months and made training difficult. After the surgery, she regained her old form.
As a freshman in college, Wilma won the 50-yard dash in 6.2 seconds at the National Indoor AAU Track Championship held at Washington, D.C.'s National Guard Armory and was a leg of the second place 440-yard relay to help Tennessee State, with 61 1/2 total points, win the title easily over second place finishers, the Queen Mercurettes of New York and the Police Athletic League of New York, both with a mere 18 points.
16 In the summer of 1959, Wilma won the AAU title in the 100-yard dash. During her sophomore season, Wilma set two American records at the indoor AAU championships held in Chicago in April 1960 leading Tennessee State to their sixth consecutive national indoor title. She won the 50-yard dash, and set records in the 100-yard dash (11.1 seconds) and 220-yard dash (25.7 seconds), breaking former teammate Mae Faggs' 220-yard record of 25.9 seconds established in 1959.
Coach Temple was selected as the head coach for the women's track team 1958 and 1959 competitions between the United States and the Soviet Union, the 1959 Pan-American Games, and the 1960 Olympic Games. Eight Tigerbelles competed for the United States at the 1959 Philadelphia American-Soviet meet, and 10 Tigerbelles ran at the 1959 Pan-American Games, including Wilma. At the American-Soviet dual meet in Philadelphia, Wilma finished third in the 100-meter dash to her teammate Barbara Jones. At the Pan-American Games, Wilma's relay set a new meet record, though the real star of the meet was teammate Lucinda Williams, who, in addition to running on the relay, won the 100-meter dash and the 200-meter dash.
Wilma's goals were focused on making the 1960 Olympic track and field team and winning more medals, with hopes for a gold medal. The first step to meeting this goal was to perform well at the National AAU meet held in Corpus Christi, Texas. The best runners at the AAU meet would be invited to the Olympic Trials to be held a couple of weeks later at Texas Christian University. Wilma was set on qualifying in several events. Years later, two incidents stayed in Wilma's mind from the Nationals that year. First, her youngest sister, Charlene, the baby of the Rudolph family, was also scheduled to run, but became very sick. The second incident involved a bus driver who refused to drive the integrated American track team and walked off leaving the athletes to wait for another driver. Wilma and her teammates eventually made it to the meet and Wilma met several of her immediate goals, qualifying for several events at the Olympic Trials. She repeated her AAU title in the 100-yard dash. She was definitely ready for the Olympic Trials.
At the Olympic Trials, Wilma competed in the 100-meter and 200-meter races and the 4x100-meter relay. In the 200-meter race final, Wilma set a world record running a blazing 22.9 seconds to win and became the first American woman to hold a world record in a running event. Her record would stand for five years.
19 Coach Temple did not tell her about the record. Later that day, she found out from her teammates and celebrated both her world record and making her second Olympic team in all three events—the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes, and the 400-meter relay.
Those who had earned a spot on the Olympic team moved on to train at Kansas State University in Emporia, Kansas, just like they had done in Los Angeles four years earlier. The facilities in Emporia were top rate. This time, the coach of the team was none other than the Tigerbelle's own Ed Temple, who had several of his runners on the Olympic team. Fran Welch, the head coach at Emporia State College, was Coach Temple's assistant coach for the Olympics. They practiced three times a day the first week, cutting back to twice a day the second week, eventually practicing once a day during the last week of training. There were 18 women on the Olympic team; 11 of them were African American, and 8 of those 11 were from Tennessee State.
Wilma headed to the Games in Rome, Italy, that summer expecting to win three gold medals. She wrote, "Everything was in place for me, and all I had to do was deliver my end of it."
20 Not everyone expected her to win three medals, however, least of all her teammates, who routinely beat her and were outstanding athletes hoping to win their own Olympic medals.

It's like getting a scratched cornea while on your way to buy a 3DS. Thankfully I am not a cyclops because having to explain I lost an eye due to a flower petal takes all the bad ass out of wearing an eye patch. Oh and if any of you get a 3DS get Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, it is awesome.

Yeah. Watchu know 'bout Nightmare Night, son?!
Welcome Fillies and Gentlecolts; No reason to scream
Your favorite Princess is back; She's walkin' up on the scene
She has been stuck on the moon, but that's no reason to fret
She's not a Nightmare no more, so buckle down and get set
She's comin'; Gracin' her subjects. She ain't leavin' no choice
She's gonna blow you all back with her Equestrian Voice
So cover all of your fears and stowe away all your fright
The Lunar Princess is back; to bring the Nightmares Tonight
She's living in the past
so you won't last
Without the proper care
With a royal farewell
And an animate spell
You won't have long to prepare
Now little fillies, this is Nightmare Night
Your ruler Nightmare Moon is back to come and fill you with fright
So Hurry
Now get your goodies and fill up all your bags
And go and leave a candy offering for that big ol' hag
Get runnin'
And pray above that she's not coming back
To come and take away your soul and eat you up for a snack
So run away and go hide; just keep your head out of sight
The darkness is rising again cause this is Nightmare Night
She's living in the past
so you won't last
Without the proper care
With a royal farewell
And an animate spell
You won't have long to prepare

Willie Cauley-Stein Debuts Crazy Haircut
December 11th, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
After Kentucky's disappointing 67-62 loss to Baylor last Friday, Wildcats center Willie Cauley-Stein decided it was time for a change. And what a change it was.
Cauley-Stein's crazy new haircut is best described as one part Gumby (due to the slanted look) and another part Simon Phoenix (the bleached-hair, Wesley Snipes-portrayed villain in Demolition Man).
More important, the new look worked. Cauley-Stein had nine blocks in a 70-55 win over Boise State on Tuesday.

Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. You must never miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you.Unknown
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.Douglas Adams
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.Seneca
Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life.William Faulkner
As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.Henry David Thoreau
There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time.Napoleon I, Maxims
Time! the corrector when our judgments err.Lord Byron
Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.Carl Sandberg
The inertia hardest to overcome is that of perfectly good seconds.Martin H. Fischer
Time spent with cats is never wasted.Colette
Autumn's the mellow time.William Allingham

The UCA College of Education program is pleased to announce that Lavonda Pierce and Angela Criss have been awarded the Gladys Sachse Scholarship for the 2015-16 academic year.
The Gladys Sachse Endowment provides $1,000 each to two students accepted into the UCA College of Education Master of Science degree program in Library Media and Information Technologies (LMIT) and who plan to become a school librarian. Their selection out of six applicants was based upon academic achievement with consideration given to financial need. Candidates for the scholarship must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above in their education major.
Lavonda Pierce is currently a teacher in the Belair Middle School in Pine Bluff. She plans to graduate from UCA's Library Media program in December, 2105. Once she graduates and is in a school library media center, she plans to implement several ideas and concepts that she learned from her program.
In particular,
- she plans to actively collaborate with teachers to "shape the learning" of her students in the school
- conduct needs assessment for the staff and students
- design activities that will lead to an increase in student achievement
- take the initiative to ensure that teachers know what resources are available and how they may use them effectively in teaching
- be a support for all the end users at her school
- Continue to grow professionally through participation professional library association.
Lavonda further states: "I believe that the key to any effective program is communication. I want the media center to be the center of the school, not an afterthought, so I plan to communicate my vision and goals to the administration, staff, students and parents. I want everyone to know what I have for them and what I can do for them."
Angela Criss is working as the librarian at Harrisburg Middle School while pursuing her library media degree. This is her "dream job." Her secret ambition was always to be a librarian. She plans to graduate from UCA's Library Media program in December, 2016. Angela would like remain in school library positions from 5th grade to 12th grade. She is an avid reader and loves to share her passion with students. Angela has promoted several fun and interesting activities in her library that include:
- Book fairs
- A trick-or-treat activity at Halloween where students drew titles out of a pumpkin, then located the title in the library and then read the book in question
- A "book tasting" event where she set the library up as a café so students could pass around new books
- And write the titles of ones they would like to read in the future on their "menu"
- Angela's school was recently awarded an Apple grant and all students will be receiving iPads
- It is noteworthy that Angela used a library "improvement design" assignment from one of her library media classes for a grant application and she was awarded $4,400 for improvements to her own library media center.

Circus Smirkus provides an environment for young people to become better at both team work and leadership, responsibility -for both oneself and others- creativity and self expression. It fosters empathy, passion, commitment and self discipline. This is done through the circus arts- from juggling to acrobatics, clowning to trapeze, aerials to tightrope walking. It is not difficult to understand how the lessons learned by working in a tight-knit group towards a common goal over a period of ten weeks stand the participants in good stead as they evolve through their teenage years and become young adults. As a parent I feel immensely proud of my child's achievements-both physical and developmental- thanks to Circus Smirkus, as well as grateful that he found this gem of an experience. Don't be deceived by the title 'youth' circus. It is incredibly professional and of an exceptionally high standard. Guests from all over the World have echoed this as well as numerous newspaper articles and television reports. Although running away to the circus is an affordable affair, running the circus is not. That the kids sleep in ancient, but clean trailers is part of the charm. That families can afford the ticket price is paramount. However transportation and putting on shows with the safety of both participants and the audience IS expensive.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 58 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Recentlyretired Great not only for travel but also everyday use Super quality and durability...and they dry as advertised!!! August 7, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by DrJoe Great travel shorts...or for any other occasion Face it...cotton is about the worst material for next-to-skin usage that you can wear, unless you are going only for low price and cool touch. I have four pair of these in various colors and have found them to be the best undershorts I have used to date. The material is very stretchy, which allows for bind-free travel wear over long periods of time, and will not become sweat saturated. I pack two pair for travel and switch back and forth. They will hand wash in the sink with little to no soap (depending on how dirty they are) and will dry overnight. Until they are surpassed in quality by something else, these are my boxers of choice. July 30, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by ABQMIMI bring back the TravelSmith fabric I bought travel underwear for my husband labled TravelSmith...these were soft (not hard) finish, lightweight and dry fast. He wears them every day (not just for travel). The ex officio brand and fabric is not as light and soft. I suspect they will stay in the drawer while he wears out the TravelSmith group! Bring Back Travel Smith travel underwear! April 9, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Trit Overpriced. They seem to be no better than the Travelsmith boxer shorts. May 23, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Antinyx Exofficio vs CoolMax I got a pair of Exoficio boxers when the CoolMax weren't available for awhile. Overall I like them better. The spandex material is thinner than the CoolMax, and it has a more textured surface which may feel rougher to some people, but the drape is softer so it feels more comfortable to me. Also, I think it breaths a little better and dries quicker. The hem at the leg is a little tighter giving it a more fitted feel and appearance which my wife likes :-) and the streachy material makes them extreemly comfortable and non binding with actvity. The fly opening is a little higher and not as long as the CoolMax boxers which combined with the streachy fabric can make it a little hard to find. I would love to get more for everyday use, and I am wondering how the boxers are different from the boxer briefs, but at $25 each, that will have to wait. May 27, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Barbsie Great purchase My husband loves these underwear. When he worked on a farm and his undies were always wet from sweating, I started looking for something other than cotton underwear. These had the best rating and he is so happy with them. He has had them 2 years and they are not faded or worn out. March 21, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by InTexas Light weight & useful I bought these for a 2 week trip to Israel. Glad I bought 3 pair, because they did not dry overnight as expected - the fabric did but the elastic band took 24 hours at least. They were comfortable and light weight will be very useful here at home, so I am glad I got them. January 24, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Zaki A Must for "Travellers" These are wonderful if you are going on extended trips -- they wash easily and dry overnight -- my husband has three pair and I take along small laundry packets -- no fuss and it leaves me more room for packing my "fun" clothes. August 21, 2010

TUESDAY, Feb. 19 (HealthDay News) -- Although physical activity can help boost your immune system, people who are sick should tone down their workout or skip it altogether, experts advise.
"Regular exercise is a great way to reduce stress and sleep better at night. This helps boost your immune system. However, vigorous exercise and extreme conditioning can have a negative impact on your health if you're sick," Joe Berg, a personal trainer and fitness specialist at Loyola Center for Health, said in a Loyola University news release.
"When fighting a viral illness, it's best to keep your exercise session short and not as intense. If you have a fever or stomach bug it might be best to hold off," Berg added.
For those recovering from an illness, it's best to ease back into a workout routine slowly. Berg recommends starting small with some light aerobics, such as walking and cycling at an easy pace as well as body weight squats, push-ups and planks. In the plank exercise, you rest your weight on your forearms with your elbows directly beneath your shoulders, keeping your body in a straight line from your head to your feet.
"These exercises cover the major muscles of the body and when performed in moderation, can help boost your immune system," explained Berg.
For people worried about being exposed to germs at the gym, Valerie Walkowiak, medical integration coordinator at the Loyola Center for Fitness, pointed out that heading outside or working out at home may be a good way to stay healthy and fit during the cold and flu season.
"Weather permitting, it's always great to just get out of the house and walk or run to get in some cardio exercise. Just make sure you wear the proper clothes to keep warm. This includes layers of clothing, a hat, scarf, gloves and appropriate shoes," said Walkowiak.
When the weather makes exercising outdoors impossible, there are ways people can work out at home -- even if th

What are you doing for birth control after this baby?
This is baby 3 and I'm so done! We plan to wait a while (like a year or so) to make sure that we're done but then DH will get a vasectomy. In the mean time, we'll be using condoms. I can't do hormonal BC of any kind, it messes with my thyroid.
isnt effective at all... Because here I am pregnant again. My husband is going to get fixed (unless I have to have a c-section and then I will get fixed).
I am a stay at home Mommy to an 8 year old daughter and a 3 year old son! Baby #3 is due May 14, 2013. ♥
Quon & Miniee met on Everquest in 1999-Together since 2000
Baylee Rayne 3lbs 10 oz & Rylee Fae 3lbs 8 oz- Born early at 32.3 wks.
I think we are done after this. It is number 3. I have previously used the Mirena IUD, Paragard IUD, Depo shot, & the pill. I think this time I will go back to the Mirena. I loved it and had no problems. I had tons of problems with the Paragard and Depo.

Mom to Austin ♥(13) Madison♥ (6) ^i^Jaxon^i^ born sleeping 12/28/12♥ RAINBOW Kadyn Rayne 4/2/14♥
As much as people knock the pull out method as ineffective... we used it for 4 years successfully and the ONE time we actively did not use it, we got pregnant.
If it's a boy, we're not doing anything permanent. We might continue with pull out, or we might try something else. I had the Mirena and did not like it. I might try a copper IUD. If it's a girl, dh is getting snipped!
Mom to Levi ('06) Luke ('08), Elliott ('13), and Annalise (edd 2/2015!)
I will be the positive to the negative!
One of us may get snipped. Depends on insurance who does.
If not that than Implanon.

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) -- Nate Miller scored 13 points and three other Falcons scored in double figures as Bowling Green grabbed a second half lead and held on to beat Ohio 52-49 on Saturday.
Ohio (9-5, 0-1 Mid-American Conference) led for most of the first half, but let a six-point lead slip away in the period's final minutes. Bowling Green's Brian Moten hit a 3-pointer with four seconds left before half to tie it at 27.
The Falcons (6-7, 1-0) didn't trail again and built a 46-39 lead with 2:13 to play. But Ohio's Justin Orr made a layup and Bubba Walther's 3-pointer with 54 seconds left made it a two-point game.
Free throw shooting by Bowling Green put the Falcons up by six with 30 seconds left. Walther hit another 3-pointer to narrow it to 52-49, but missed two more shots from beyond the arc in the final seconds.
Chris Knight scored 11 points and Darryl Clements and Moten each had 10 for Bowling Green.
Leon Williams led Ohio with 14 points, while Walther finished with 13.

Warrior. I'm so close to throwing in the towel. I just have no clue how I'm gonna finish these. Aside from a couple all nighters. Work and life are getting in the way of fun!
Sketchbook *light nudity*
It's a super quick method for adding some last minute touches. Here's an example, I used blue and purple for shadows and orange for highlights:
stoneseeker, why dont you try what I did? start on the final render and finish the creatures in that. it's definitely got me back into it.
here's where I'm at. still need to add the harvesters, mostly on the top. and there's a lot of depth and stuff to be added, but im getting there.

ooh yeah; did you know I'm a certified art-teacher? that's right. everything arty I say has been endorsed by the state of the Netherlands! (they'll be sorry soon)
Dude! I love what you did with it with such a simple fix. It makes it pop so much more. Your causing me to realize I am rendering way to equally across the painting. I should be choosing a focal point and keeping the rest looser, I am rushing these and not thinking enough. Thanks for the great tips, I'm gonna go and apply that tip to all them now and then see if I can find time to do the rest with less rendering the needless stuff to save time.
ugh. so close, and still so much to do. is there a particular timezone the deadline is set to, or can I just say whatever, and use my Saturday night?

Timezone is GMT-4 EST...
to make it easier, at this time (approx 4:00 for me give or take a few minutes) which means deadline is about 32 hours from now...
I may give a little bit of a grace period after deadline, I'm only gonna make that decision close to deadline to see how everyone's doing. No matter what the new topic will be up tomorrow night.

Art is not about competing against others and being better than everyone else, but it is about competing against yourself and discovering your greatest potential!
Here's where I'm at now. All line drawings/designs done except Miner. Only 4 are painted.
Did the tweaks Arbinn suggested to the existing creatures I had finsihed to keep things consistent... I'll post the results of that plus the lineart I have finished. Just gotta design the Miner now, and then try to see if I can paint them all before tomorrow night! I'll be pushing it if I finish, but either way a rad exercise.
Go go go Stone! Looking awesome!

Hey guys! I'm submitting my piece to the "finals"-thread now : ) I wanted to create a bigger. new illustration, but after working all night on it, I decided to refine my original "zoo"-image showing my lizards next to each other.
Just wanted to take the time to give you all a big thank you! This was my first COW ever, and nine creatures was a lot of work, but I'm happy I made it. Thank you all who gave me feedback, who commented on my lizards, helped out or just posted awesome inspiring art in this thread! You rock!
Stoneseeker I love your small creatures. They look so cute, like something from a Gibli movie!
Ashess Dude, the perspective in your final image is neat! I think the concept of ocean snakes is very original. Keep it up!
Rob Thank you for running this competition! I've looked trough your art book, and you have developed so much! Inspiring!
GoldenSerpent I'm sure everyone is appreciating the time you put into giving feedback < 3 < 3
ArbinYour loose forms and use of color gives you a very unique style! Looking very sweet ^^
Tchuk Very nice work! Your creatures look very solid and believable to me : D Very nice work!
MoriaeLove your style! Your creatures are both nasty and very imaginative! May I suggest you try to get more sharp edges into your images? It has a tendency to look very very smooth. Keep it up!
Alkan Don't give up, practice makes perfect, and I've learned tons myself from this competition.
bchaffin Nice creature design! The jelly-fish-like creatures idea was very fresh and original : D
Grotski Maybe next time? : )
Si_Swe Thank you for sharing your technique earlier! Hope to see your works in the "final"-thread soon!
JanJager How did it go with the bunnies? The rabbit far out to the right made me laugh xD
DefiledVisions Will you post anything in the finals-thread? : D
Dayle Nice of you to stop by!
Christoffer How did it go? Did you finish your designs?
JsscSprngr Nice experimenting! Did you make any final image?
scorge I love your use of color ^^
BansheeSix Very nice design and cool use of color. I would love to see your final image : D Your creatures look a bit like advanced Pokémons to me : )
b.cesar Nice job! May I suggest you mix some sharp brush strokes into your work? Right now everything looks a bit too soft.
Killer Napkins Nice sketches. Did you make any more creature concepts? I'm curious xD
MrSun How did it go with your creatures?
aberrant85 Yours Bushmen looked so nice! I loved the face expression of the Emperor, looking at the healer xD Are you gonna submit it to the finals?
tsabu Did you make any more creatures?
Matija5850 Hey! Did you make any more creatures?
EllisQU How did it go? Did you make any more insects? : )
Alex Parent You are never "too noob", just give it your best shot and participate in the next round! I consider myself a noob, and I still learned tons from doing this COW 300 : D

nextra- congratulations on finishing! love the colors of m all. and yeah; a whole illustration is really still a lot of work huh? haha. glad I started on it when I hit my first dry spell. hell, sorry I didnt start on it as soon as I did. could use those extra days now!
aah, and ye im pretty happy with the perspective on mine thanks ^^
im almost done with all the creatures. now I just need to push the values. maybe show a scout with a warning light. or maybe I'll have the light on when it's save. that'd make things easier. and also, it would make sense. its not like my creatures require stealth. they eat sea-weed, and if predators come by, well they might hide in their structures, but they will not flee...

Nextra, sadly no, I don't have time to finish
hey everyone, just dropping by to say that I won't be finishing. Started school this week and just didn't find the time to continue painting this. I thought I'd atleast show the sketch before throwing in the towel.
Here's my final composition, throwing the different creatures of the colony, with the monarch in the middle. Really wish I didn't get swamped with schoolwork from day 1. Good luck everyone!
Do what you love ~ Love what you do

Too bad DefiledVisions. I hope you find time to attend the future rounds! The sketch looks great, but it's a little bit busy and difficult to read. What are you studying?
I'm almost finished. All my creatures are pretty much done, but I'm still going to spend 2-4 hours on the monarch. That has to wait till midnight though since I've already worked on the topic all day and I really need to take a break for few hours. Even though everything is coming together I'm worried about the final presentation. The monarch is going to be its own illustration, but I still need to put the others together and come up with some kind of simple background for them.
DefiledVisions: Yeah, have to agree. Such a shame you couldn't make it. I love the sketch, wish I'd thought of it, looks like it would've turned out beautifully. Hopefully you'll finish it up at a later date?
Arbinn, thanks! I agree that it looks a bit busy. I was planning on fixing that with atmosphere and contrast so things appear to be placed differently in space to give it a more pleasant read. I've started studying a program called "Game Art" at a school called The Game Assembly here in Sweden. Its main focus is 3d graphics, so they won't really delve into 2d. But hey, that's what conceptart.org is for! I haven't done any 3d before, so I'm excited and I feel it can really help me understand form in completely new ways and level up my paintingskills. So far it's really good. The only tough thing is we have 8-9hour days, every day, which is a bit exhausting right now. But I'll get used to it and so far I'm loving every minute of it. Looking forward to getting back into creating regularly again.
I've really been liking your work in this round. Looking forward to see it in the finals!
Tchuk, thank you! yeah, I'd definitely want to finish it some day. I'd really like to pick out some of the designs I have and make stand-alone illustrations with them.
I've really been liking your work too. I love how you present your concepts with a fleshed out render, and some smaller simpler concepts explaining your creature. As for the latest wip of the monarch, I think the striped details around the head take too much attention from the whole. You should soften them down a bit and lower their contrast so they don't stick out so much. Good luck in the finals
Do what you love ~ Love what you do
Check out
Amazing work, guys. Too bad you don't have time to finish, Defiledvisions. Those are some killer sketches.
Nextra - Nope. :p Seems a whole month just isn't enough for me to finish in time. Been out of the game for too long. Letting my personal issues get in the way doesn't help either.
Congratulations on finishing up. I saw your final piece and I couldn't quite make out the monarch as they all have the same size and are pushed together on one canvas. It's importance to the colony would've been better emphasised if it had its own illustration. They all still look very nice, though, especially since you've given them so much color. For a first try at COW, you've done a great effort. Very fun to follow you progress and your dedication is inspiring.
I've made a couple more sketches. Trying a different presentation.
Hopefully this topic gets more leeway so I can finish up. I just need to focus more.
damn deviled. the creatures look great. just with a little more space and a few differences in shade i'd think you could turn it in.
just called mine finished btw. its not really, but I cant really look at it any longer right now :/

ooh yeah; did you know I'm a certified art-teacher? that's right. everything arty I say has been endorsed by the state of the Netherlands! (they'll be sorry soon)
And yeah I think you were right. Just saw your comment as I was putting the finishing touches on it so caught it just in time. Thanks
Ashess I feel your pain! I just handed mine in too and genuinely had to sit down and listen to this to really appreciate it:
Tchuck- lol. what the hell was that? are you trying to retro me into feeling good? haha. anyway, yours look great to me. just oozes all the work you put in there. and it really pays.
I lied btw. just fixed mine 2ce again. and now imma going to bed. that way I cant look at it and fix it more :p

Just spamming a little bit to let people know that I'm still in! I'm writing the descriptions and will upload the finals very soon!
I have to bow out I had too much going on this week and weekend didn't get to put much work in on it. But thanks to those that did give me some good feedback I think I'm going to take a few of my favorite ones and finish them to get more practice.
Also can't wait to see people's finished work.
sorry to hear some of you guys drop out (especially DV, those creatures look epic), but then again I couldn't work on my creatures all that much for the past week, didn't help I buggered up my wrist while working last friday, but it's getting better...
anyways I know people have been working hard to get their stuff sorted, and the deadline is looming, so I will be giving a few hours grace for people to get their entries in, and to work on any last minute changes and upgrades if they feel up to it! I will close the topic at whatever time I happen to wake up at tomorrow so you guys are guaranteed, at least 7 or 8 hours! I admit that this was a heavy workload for cow even with a month (plus a few days), so I am willing to give some leeway in those regards, but in the future I do expect people to work for the initial deadline (I'll do my best not to give such a heavy workload in the future, but no promises ) In the mean time the new topic will be going up as planned in a few minutes so for a little while you guys can work on two topics at once.
Art is not about competing against others and being better than everyone else, but it is about competing against yourself and discovering your greatest potential!
I'm done. I've been putting everything together the whole night and I just posted my entry to the finals. I bet that I'm going to find 10 things I forgot to add/change/remove when I wake up and I'm already regretting putting the descriptions into the images... Oh well, it's 7AM so I might as well get some sleep now. Good job everyone! I hope to see some more entries when I wake up.
I feel battered and haggard. I was worried the thread would close the minute of 12:00 so I was cramming my paintings in for the last 5 hours straight without even looking up from my screen hardly. It feels good to be done and have completed it, although I must admit I feel mixed about the rushed results on some of my renderings, but it was still a great exercise even if I'm not particularly proud of my execution.
Arbinn man, MAD respect. Your creatures are georgous. The rendering, design and colors are fantastic. The warrior is still my favorite, it just looks so dynamic and fun.
There is some really great and different designs from everyone in there. I'm really disappointed we couldn't see the final results of Defiled Vision or Cristoff though, great sketches.
Did anyone have issues with the uploader? For some reason my jpeg wasn't uploading so I had to use DA instead, and link directly into the post. Strange, because I didn't think the image was too big or anything.
Ok, its 4am now, gonna go sleep.

What Should We Do About Higher Gas Prices?
- Posted by Jeff Carter
- on February 19th, 2013
Why the heck are gas prices going up again?
It's not the speculators. Speculators can't influence a market. Despite the protestations of people who totally misunderstand why markets exist, the market reacts to information and allocates resources accordingly.
The rise in gas prices are tied to other factors. It's simple microeconomics. There is a supply curve for energy, and a demand curve for energy. Unfortunately, the demand curve for energy is inelastic. That means small changes in either supply or demand can influence the price.
Since demand is inelastic, meaning no matter what the price is we will demand to consume it, we need to focus on supply. If you don't think demand is inelastic, what would you substitute for the energy sources you use today in your life to keep your lifestyle at a similar level its at currently? If you weren't using gas to propel your vehicle, what alternative would you use?
Supply is influenced by a lot of factors. The first one is production. No matter how much crude oil there is, there are only a certain number of refineries to process it. This creates a bullwhip effect in the supply chain. Long term, we can build more refineries to cushion the economy from supply shocks and price should become less volatile. It's been a long time since America has built a refinery. No one wants to hurdle the EPA and OSHA to try and get one built.
Another factor influencing supply is exploration. We aren't exploring for more oil. Most of it has been shut down on federal lands due to a highly restrictive permitting process. Critics will say Obama has opened up more land than anyone for exploration. However, the opportunity costs to exploring compared to other uses of that capital don't incent companies to drill for oil.
Obama has been one of the most unfriendly Presidents ever to energy companies.
A factor that no one really considers is the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve. The world uses the US dollar to benchmark the price of oil. The value of the dollar has been continually cheapened through virtually all the policies put in place by the Federal Reserve. Cheapening the dollar makes the price of oil go up. If the Fed raised interest rates, the price of oil would drop.
The answer to higher gas prices is more exploration and increasing production capacity, lower regulation, and increasing the value of the dollar. If you want to know the source of higher oil prices, it resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, or on a golf course.
