Writing Challenge- The winning entries.

Re: Writing Challenge- The winning entries.
Three more days came and went, and McCoy was becoming increasingly irritable by the hour. It infuriated him that he could not run tests on the boy who he believed was terminally ill. Spock had, every day, entered his quarters, and each time, Ventus had gone into his bathroom until he left, even waiting for two hours until Spock decided his other duties were more pressing and left.
By the fifth day, even Spock began to grow anxious, though he would never admit it, even to himself. He did not know why the boy interested him so, or why it bothered him so much that he had completely shut them out so suddenly.
While he was off-duty in his quarters, Spock looked over the records of the night watchmen, a task he had taken up to keep tabs upon the ship's crew. He was intrigued to find that Ventus had been logged leaving each night around 0100 hours to socialize with the night shift, who were usually asleep during the day. Spock had not doubt he visited them because they were the ones least likely to say anything about his condition to a senior officer. As far as they knew, he was also out during the day, and the captain and himself were already aware.
That night, around 0100, Spock waited in the corridor until Ventus emerged from his quarters. He had donned the same outfit he had worn the day he had arrived upon the ship. His scarf was now higher up, covering his chin and jaw.
As Spock walked up behind him, Ventus asked, without turning around, "Why do you care so much?"
Spock followed him into the turbolift. "Why do you hide?"
Ventus was silent, no reply forthcoming. The turbolift doors opened on the engineering deck, and he walked out, Spock tailing him.
"Have you ever been completely isolated and shunned, with people giving you big fake smiles and telling you stupid lies to keep you happy, when you know that it's all a sham?"
Spock stared at the boy's back. "No, I have not."
"Then why should I tell you why I hide? You wouldn't understand, anyway."
They entered the engine room, where several officers looked up upon their entrance, grinning, or offering Ventus a wave.
"You have become well acquainted with this engineering shift," Spock remarked.
"You never answered my question. Why do you care so much about me?"
"It is my duty," Spock replied.
Ventus finally turned and gazed at him. "No," he said bluntly. "If that was all it was, then you wouldn't have made such an effort. I would have known, after all those people who would check up on me out of obligation, not because they really wanted to. You genuinely cared enough to annoy me every day with your intrusions. I would have recognized false sincerity."
It was Spock's turn to be silent. He had no response to that. That might have been it—why he had checked up on him so often. But he couldn't explain why it had mattered so much to him. And it seemed illogical to have been emotionally influenced into checking up on him.
"You don't even know why you cared, do you?" Ventus asked, almost sadly. He looked over at the engineers, going about their work. "Not that it matters, really."
"I think, perhaps, you reminded me of myself," Spock finally said after a few minutes of brooding silence. Ventus looked up at him in surprise. "You were a stranger in a place that was like your own world, yet so different. Perhaps I feared that you had decided to shut it all out, instead of adjusting to a place that seemed to go against what you are. And then you refused to acknowledge what is happening to you. Do not think that I have forgotten about your arm."
Ventus sighed and looked away again. "Ah yes, the cause of the big fake smiles and stupid lies." Maybe it was that he had finally begun to trust him, or maybe just because Spock had listened, and he wanted to confide in someone. Whatever the reason, Ventus turned back towards the turbolift and said, "I want to show you something."
* * *
In his quarters, Ventus awkwardly removed the scarf with his right hand. Easing off the extra sleeve, he removed his shirt, leaving his torso and his scars exposed. His left arm, most of the left half of his torso, and creeping about his throat as if to strangle him, was an intricate, decaying black pattern. It was intricate, and appeared to almost form rose-like shapes that were burned into his skin.
"What is it," Spock asked softly.
Ventus gazed at the ground sadly. "On Valerii, it's called Rose Flower. It is very rare, but it infects and destroys the body and mind. But it isn't contagious, despite Starfleet's worries. It's caused by a certain type of spore from a rare tree occasionally found on my planet. We try to contain them, but by the time we realize another one has grown, it has already painfully claimed a life."
"And you had given up hope."
Ventus slowly donned his clothing once more, then sat down upon his bed before he replied. "Not a single person has ever survived Rose Flower. The tree mutates, and we couldn't keep up with it. Each vaccine is outdated by the time it's finished."
Spock didn't know what exactly possessed him to do so, but he walked over and sat down next to the self-mourning boy, who made an odd, hiccupping noise, as if he was about to cry.
"It's why I was on that shuttle. The others on it were adults used as guinea pigs, and two other people who had contracted Rose Flower. They'd doubted the shuttle would work, and since we were already going to die, or were in the case of the adults, useless… 'Why would it matter?'" He said the last part very bitterly.
"It matters very much. No life should be so callously thrown away."
Ventus made another hiccupping noise and buried his head in his hands. "Tell that to the Planetary Committee." Ventus' shoulders shuddered.
After a moment of hesitation, Spock put a hand on the boy's back, fighting against reeling away from the assault of the boy's emotions. Ventus leaned over against him, and Spock did his utmost not to stiffen at the touch. For several minutes, Spock sat and comforted the boy, listening to his ragged, emotion-racked breaths. Finally, Ventus straightened up. "I'm… I'm sorry," he snuffled, wiping his face with his arm. "I shouldn't have dumped all that on you." He turned his head slightly away, as if embarrassed. But it was clear by his entire posture that he wasn't anywhere near fine yet.
Spock looked over at the personal computer on the table that was displaying the time. 0200 hours. His shift started in four hours, and he had gotten no sleep, not that he really needed any every single night. He looked back over at the boy. For once, he decided, it might be exceptional for him to be late for his shift. After all, it was his orders to take care of Ventus. And it would not be acceptable for him to just leave him now.
* * *
"Spock? May I come in?"
Spock, Kirk, and McCoy looked over at the open turbolift from where they stood in discussion on the bridge. After a week, Ventus was reduced to limping to where he wanted to go, and it took some effort to move the joint of his right shoulder. The Rose Flower was creeping up higher upon him as well, starting to crawl out from under the scarf.
"You know, you don't need permission to come aboard the bridge, Ventus."
Ventus smiled faintly at Captain Kirk. "Yeah, well…" He hobbled down the step towards them.
"Ventus, the Federation has made contact with Valerii, and has entered into the beginning steps towards accepting it into the Federation," Spock informed him. "One of their requests is to have you back."
Ventus snorted, then cringed in pain. "Ach. Ow. Well, you can tell them—"
Sensing where he was going by the tone of his voice, Spock gave him a pointed look, and Ventus quieted.
"Well, I'm not going," Ventus said adamantly. "What's the difference? At least the people here genuinely care if I live or die."
Kirk, surprised by his bluntness, said, "It's your home."
Ventus looked up at Spock. "No. You can tell them it was my choice, that you had nothing to do with it. I'll record something, if you want. But I won't."
Kirk and McCoy exchanged a knowing look. It was clear the he had taken a liking to Spock, and looked up to him. "Very well, then," Kirk announced. "I'll see what I can do. Until…
… you may stay here."
* * *
Spock gazed almost sadly out at his family's land. It was there, by Ventus' request, that he was buried when, two weeks after he had decided to stay on the ship, the Rose Flower caused his brain to shut down. According to Ventus, it was a custom on Valerii for those who succumbed to Rose Flower be buried, not cremated, so that the memory of he or she who was taken too soon by the disease was not forgotten. He had asked his mother to, when she could, go out and remove the sand from the tablet he had placed over Ventus' burial place. She had accepted, knowing exactly how much the boy had meant to him, even if he didn't.
He turned and walked away from the final resting place of the boy who had grown up on a world where a father hardly meant anything, but had in a short time, grown to respect another in the light of a father, and the tablet that read:
VENTUS x
After all, that is what Spock's name meant, on Valerii.

Respond to Review of Jade-Imbiss
by chouettes crepes
Review: i've been here loads of times and always enjoyed the food. i agree with the other reviews: great mock meat, versatile menu, good main dishes as well as sides, interesting drinks, friendly staff.... i do like my curries spicy, and when i asked the staff to add a little extra kick for me, i didnt notice the curry to be any different than when i ordered it without the special request. the hot and sour soup, however, does offer what it promises.

Picture: Katie Holmes, Patrick Wilson Opening Night Curtain Call forAll My Sons at the Schoenfeld Theatre. New York City, USA - 16.10.08
Katie Holmes' Broadway debut has left New York's tough theatre press battling over whether it loves her or hates her.
Arthur Miller's All My Sons - starring Holmes, John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest and Patrick Wilson - opened at the Big Apple's Schoenfeld Theater on Thursday (16Oct08) night.
While anti-Scientology protesters targeted followers Holmes and her husband Cruise outside, the actress' performance left some critics wowed and others unimpressed.
The New York Daily News' Joe Dziemianowicz was won over by the actress' first stint on stage, writing, "Holmes, a TV and film vet, makes a fine Broadway debut. Her rather grand speech pattern takes getting used to, but she seems comfortable and adds a fitting glint of glamour."
But other critics disagreed. The New York Times' Ben Brantley claimed "the neophyte Ms. Holmes" is a "sad casualty" of director Simon MCBurney's "high concept approach" to the play.
He adds that "Ms. Holmes delivers most of her lines with meaningful asperity, italicising every word".
And the New York Post's Clive Barnes was similarly unimpressed by the Batman Begins star - and had few compliments for her co-stars.
He writes, "Lithgow starts in a sunny, benign fashion, but eventually finds himself screeching alongside Holmes, looking tough under a glossy wig."

There should be an alternative, people cannot relay on just a few answers. I'm pretty sure there will be something else as a replacement, just not available for everyone, as I guess the email from Google Adsense got spammed a lot by unhappy people etc. That's not where it is for.
They should add a contact page in the management pannel at Google.Com/Adsense, without emailing but with a ticket, and if the answer time would be less than 3 days that would be great stuff. Eventually they could add some 'maybe this is what you're looking for' boxes to make sure not 99999 questions are asked over and over again.
Just my vision about Google Adsense and what could be done better

Yeah, you know what your follow-up post should be Will? Something like "Nr 1 Evil Doer on the Web -- Google" Sub Heading -
"Taking Over as the Son of Darth Vader...er Microsoft"
They exhibit very 1990'sish Microsoft behavior towards other companies and people, and in some ways worse behavior than Microsoft ever did in their "crush the competition days of delivering a 70% complete product early to gain market share", yet we hold off on fighting back because of free email, Adsense being the reason of the re-birth of eCommerce, etc....
Think I'll go back to enjoying Memorial Day. Thanks for the post.

First Time finger foods for TOTS.
My little grandD., has just graduated to finger foods. Endureing the pain of teething is not an easy thing but it opens up a whole new chapter in there eating and growth process. The discovery of food, tastes, and textures and likes and dislikes. Mashed foods/veges and fruits are best for starters. What kinds of foods have you started your toddlers at?? Summer time cookouts/gatherings this summer and need ideas for things for her to eat!!
I.just cooked meats in homemade broth in the oven on low a few hours so it was tender and easy to.chew.
Surrounded by veggies, and full of spices. My kids are awesome eaters now that their older.
They eat seafood, and pasta all meats etc......we don't do hot dogs or frozen type foods, all fresh and healthy stuff. No canned or boxed either.
He ate what I did from the beginning. We never did purées as there is no need.

From Our Editors
Founded five years ago, the Battle Creek Bombers have already shown their mettle, earning the title of 2011 Northwoods League Champions in 2011. The Northwoods League, one of the nation's most competitive collegiate summer leagues, offers its top-caliber players minor league internships without jeopardizing their college careers. This season, the Bombers hope to conquer their league again and send more of its players to the MLB, having already done so for alumnus Tony Sanchez, who was the fourth pick in the 2009 draft. Led by Daniel Rockett, their top 2011 scorer with 46 runs and 43 RBIs, the team will surely spend this season launching home runs without the help of covert trebuchets.
While the players focus on the game, their mosquito mascot, Mo-Skeeter, mingles with roaring crowds in the Bomber's home venue, C.O. Brown Stadium. Patrons can look on from general seating or opt for the more luxurious HBC fan-deck seats, where panoramic views complement an included all-you-can-eat feast with draft beer and hot dogs.

I bought this in Ash and AHHH finally a brow filler that's color works with my light blonde hair. Although it's a TAD dark it still works great. No orangy-red tones like most blonde eyebrow fillers. The brush that comes with it works just fine but I prefer the regular e.l.f angled brush just because it's easier to hold on to. I use the powder to outline lightly and fill in my brows and I use the gel to fill in any gaps. I actually like to use the brush it comes with for the gel as it just has a little more precision. Then I use a spooly to comb through them. I wish this was a little more long lasting but other than that a great product especially for the price.

I couldn't make this work for me. I do my brows everyday because they are short and sparse. I usually use Shu's brow pencil in Seal Brown and I've been using the pencil for years. I bought the Shu pencil several years ago and I am still on the original. I sometimes use Anastasia's brow wiz in Medium Ash.
I got the ELF brow kit in Medium because it looked like it matched my hair color the best. I am Asian with hair that is naturally more brown than black, especially in the sunlight. I thought Medium would be a match in this case but I found it incredibly dark.
I couldn't get the right method for applying the gel. It was hard to control the amount of product I was applying. Sometimes I used the included brush, usually I used a different angled brush. Too little on the brush meant I had to repeatedly dip into the product. Too much product meant very dark and harsh looking brows for the day. Using this kit pretty much doubled or tripled the amount of time I would normally spend on my brows and usually left me pretty dissatisfied with the results.
Plus it felt heavy on my brows. Heavy and waxy.
The price is right but no, I would not purchase this again. I'd rather save my pennies for Shu or Anastasia.

This is a pretty good eyebrow kit. The applicator is quite unfortunate, but I the product itself is very good when you use a gel eyeliner brush. Just be careful you don't use too much, as the product gets grayish looking when you apply too much. Only use what you need, and don't try to fix what's not broken. What I mean by this is when your brows look the way you like then, don't go to the next step and try to make them identical. Eyebrows should be sisters, not twins.

I have black colored eyebrows and I use the Light kit. As, Medium and Dark looked way too dark. And, I didn't want to take the chance of my eyebrows ending up looking like Groucho Marx. This product works pretty well and I definitely will continue to buy it.

UPDATE: Am I the only who has noticed that the powder is an exact dupe of Urban Decay's Naked, Buck? No? OK good.
I love the wax, because it has many uses. The wax gives my brows the sharp arch I like, and shapes them into place. If primed and set with a powder, it will stay put throughout the day. Because of the creamy consistency, it works well as a base for brown eye shadows, also. If you're fair skinned and prefer brown eyeliner, it can also be used to line the top lash line. The pan of wax alone is worth $3.00.
I don't use the powder on my eyebrows. It's really pigmented which makes it noticeably too light. DUPE ALERT: It's an exact dupe for the shade Buck from the Urban Decay Naked palette. Though I don't use it on my brows, I do use it to blend out eye shadow's harsh edges. In its place, I use a dark brown matte eyeshadow from the BHCosmetics 120 color eyeshadow palette.
Surprisingly, I actually like the brush that comes with it. The brush is doubled ended, there is an angled side, and there is a fluffy side. I use the angled side to outline the shape of the brow and fill in the sparse areas. With the fluffy side, I go in with a brown shadow to set the wax. It's really convenient when you're on-the-go, and there's no other brushes within reach.
Best $3 I've ever spent. I have dark brown hair, so I purchased the shade "Medium". Which is the perfect color for us dark haired girls. This eyebrow kit gives my brows LIFE. I have sparse, thin, untamable brows that go every which way. This does my eyebrows wonder.
I only use the wax side. There's nothing wrong with the powder, I just prefer using a dark brown eye shadow from my BHCosmetics 120 color palette.
Back to the wax.. I'd pay $3 for the wax alone. It gets me the nice, sharp, groomed eyebrows I like. First, I outline my eyebrows with the gel/wax using the angled side of the brush. Then, I go in again and fill in the sparse areas. When I'm done applying the wax I go in with a dark brown eyeshadow to set the gel.
The thing I love the most is, I don't have to go in with a concealer to sharpen the edges. The wax does it for me.
I took off a lippie, because the powder is useless. Other than that, kudos to E.L.F.

I love this product! I got it in medium since I have dark hair but this absolutely makes my eyebrows look more put together! Also, it's only $3 at Target so it is very affordable and it can last you for a long time!
It comes with two shades, one darker shade in wax and the lighter one in powder form. I like using the wax because my eyebrows are so difficult to tame! I rarely use the applicator that it came with since I find it too small to use.

I found this in the medium color which is the only one Target had at the time. It comes in 3 shades: Ash, Light, and Medium... when I run out of this I plan on getting the Light because it might match me better, I like my eyebrow to be a lighter brown than my hair. Anyway I love the wax part especially and I would buy it alone cause it's that good. It makes my eyebrows look very natural instead of like I filled them in. It comes with an applicator and I use it if I'm on the go and it looks fine or when I have time I user a flat angled brush only because it is longer for my hand to hold onto it. I use the powder sometimes too just to be a bit more precise but this is definitely a perfect choice to get and I can believe how cheap the E.L.F. products are.
Age: 19-24

I've been using this for over a year and its an okay product. I have very oily skin and by the end of the day this product has disappeared off my face.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
I've been using this product for the last few years and it's.. okay.
The wax always runs out on me long before the powder. My brow hairs are pretty dense, but do need filling, so I tend to use more of the wax. Not only this, but I feel like the provided brush is very poor quality. The thin brush for the wax is okay but doesn't hold product for long, and the rounded brush for the powder just makes a mess on my face. I had minor success with a denser and harder Maybelline angled brush, which I've recently lost, and for the wax, I switched the provided brush with one of the e.l.f. cream eyeliner brushes, which worked a lot better. Not so bad of problems since I was able to fix them.
My worst issue though is the color. I don't like how much darker the wax is than the powder, especially in the "medium" kit. When applied, the colors are somewhat neutral and thus universally complimentary, but if you need to apply a lot, your brows are going to be super bold and dark without really meaning to. Add in the resulting mess from the poor quality and too-soft brush, and you'll look like you just smeared dirt on your brows, so you have to be very careful. That little patch that needs extra coverage can end up ruining the entire look.
Nonetheless, this is a decent product in which its flaws that are fairly easy to work around.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
I have this in Ash and it's the perfect colour for my super blonde eyebrows. After always watching tutorials I realized how important a little colour and definition can be. I only use the wax side and it matches and makes my brows look polished but natural. I have the NYX one but I'm fond of the packaging on this one plus the little brush for the wax works perfect and it's not messy. Easy to use and it does wonders to just do your eyebrows. Highly Recommended!

Suggest that you start by organizing events rather than meetings. Start with some field trips to interesting shooting locations. Then, after a few of those, schedule an informal session to show and share the results of the shoots. That way, the initial sessions have clear objectives while still providing an opportunity for casual conversation and testing the water for a regular and more formal series of activities. It also keeps things clearly focused on phtography rather than club building.
And frankly, if all that comes out of it is building a group of people who enjoy shooting together and sharing work, that's probably better than the formality of a club with dues and competitions and end of the year dinners and all that stuff.

text: I know its hard to be excited about our offense at this point of the offseason but our SP has to excite you at least a little. Here's an ESPN article (http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/hotst...g-way-2014-mlb) listing Latos and Bailey as guys that could break out in a big way this year. Considering that both of them have been at least solid #2's up to this point, if they make the jump that would give us two aces. Then if Cueto is back to 100% he slots in as potentially our third ace. If Cingrani and Leake can be better then league average we could easily have one of the best rotations in all of baseball.

Spanish Reaction To 'Star Trek XI' Preview
Spain, not traditionally a "Trek county" is warming to Star Trek courtesy of J.J. Abrams.
As reported by TrekMovie.com, this week's preview at Cinecité in Madrid hosted by Abrams was positive, and the applause afterwards was "significant."
Spanish newspapers are covering Star Trek XI too, which may help the first national Spanish Star Trek club with recruitment. One newspaper, Diario ADN, declared that Trekkies would love the film and gave high marks for the effects. Star Trek XI is "'Star Trek' with 'Star Wars' flavor," it said.
Not only Spanish fans are excited by what they're seeing. With the online release of the new trailer for the film a few days away, fans are impatient to see it. While some hurried to see the new Bond film, Quantum of Solace, to which the trailer is attached in some cases, others, too impatient to await the Monday official online release, have gone the bootleg route, in spite of the lack of visual quality of a bootleg copy. "Just watched the shaky-cam version," said one fan. Another succumbed to the urge to see it now but said, "Not bad. I look forward to seeing it in better quality on Monday." As so often happens in these cases, the trailer was uploaded by those who saw it with the new Bond movie, to sites such as YouTube.
Meanwhile, fans who have seen it, either through legitimate sources or otherwise, are for the most part excited and eager to see the finished product in May. "This trailer and movie are certainly making me want to rewatch the other Trek movies again with renewed interest," said TrekBBS poster OphaClyde. "It looks really, really good," said another poster, Donald Draper. "Yes, it is Star Trek. Getting to the roots of the mythos. Not limited to off hand references of back stories in old episodes. But its very consistent to the broad strokes of Trek."

My wife and I did.
Since we had to go close to "downtown" on an appointment, we decided to take our bikes and ride the rest of the way "downtown" on the Cherry Creek Trail and have lunch at the huge flagship REI building.
Only five miles one way, but those 25 mph direct headwinds completely wore the wife out (she is still recovering from the Shingles). At least the temp was 63F.
So we made it to the REI building on the Platte River, and she stayed there while I pedaled back for the car and came to rescue her. The ride back to the car, with 25 mph TAIL winds, was fun, though.

it's been awhile but here's a comic strip i drew recently. a bit rusty, but boy did it feel good to have all them drawing tools in my hands again! it was something i did for my day job, but i've taken out the text so you can fill it in yourself with whatever! enjoy!
criticizing my own art
so, what went wrong with the left image? I didn't see how off it was until I was done with the face, when it just looked wrong. the jaw looked off, the chin seems too narrow, and the combination of the eyebrows and eyes made him looks Asian (which I did not intend this time!).
so, I did what always takes courage for me and erased it. when I drew it again, using a photo reference of myself, I realized I needed more "stress" in the jaw. I mean, if he's opening his mouth wide, there should be more stretch in the skin and therefore show more cheek bones (I think). in any case, the one of the right looks much better. plus, I wanted to make it not just photo-real but more bounce, like a cartoon.
my last comment, do yourself a favor and look up the artist Eric Canete. he's fantastic. and when he draws, he'll draw and redraw the image until he gets it right. like a master sculptor bringing the image out of the paper. he gives me inspiration to not give up. thanks.
extreme climbing
Anna Kendrick as a Green Lantern
well, friends, this is it. the final Finn comic strip. i'd like to say thanks to everyone for reading and visiting the site. i've been drawing Finn and crafting relationships for him for over 5 years now. i started this web comic with the simple goal of keeping me drawing regularly and to challenge my artistic skills. Finn's friends were created from the various moods i have, and letting them play off of my predominant characteristic, ala Finn. looking back on my comic strips, i do notice a growth in my style and comfort in drawing emotions thru body expressions. i've decided to stop the series now because i want to challenge myself in different art endeavors. what that means is that my goal is to get this site active in a few months with all new stories and characters. i hope you'll come back then and see what new adventure i can drum up! thanks!
here we are, second to the last Finn comic strip for the foreseeable future. and here we have Finn making amends with a lost friendship a while back in the comic's history. i think the concept of closure is overplayed many times in tv shows and movies, but there's something to it as well. i'm not sure how much time you spend dwelling on it as opposed to leaving something unresolved. in the end, it's just a matter of can you go on with your life with or without that closure. the other point here with Finn is having the emotional maturity to accept a personal failing and owning up to it. that's something i find rarely happens, and maybe that's just because personal growth doesn't happen all that often.
well, we're down to the final three Finn comic strips! i've decided to stop the comic strip, and take the time to work on some other art projects. more to come on that later!
for this week, i thought it would be fun to see all most of the friends Finn have interacted with over the years. i'm a bit proud of this one because i drew it without photo reference (except for the occasional hand reference)! i also think all the lines look pretty clean.
in case you're wondering, from left to right is:
- Owen (introduced on Aug 14, 2010)
- rancher's daughter (introduced on Feb 4, 2013)
- Remy (introduced on Feb 24, 2008)
- Finn
- Aly (introduced on Feb 22, 2010)
- Rancher (introduced on Jan 21, 2013)
- on the couch, Alex (introduced on Jan 21, 2008)
- and Ivy (introduced on Mar 14, 2008)
- standing up, Stacy (introduced on Oct 1, 2012)
- girl with the nice house (introduced on Nov 4, 2013)
- girl with the marketing job (introduced on Apr 29, 2013)
- sitting on the floor, random friend (introduced on Nov 26, 2012)
- Ace (introduced on Apr 21, 2008)
- leaning on tv, another friend (introduced on Jan 23, 2012)
reaching another level
so, this week's strip is a throwback to the comic strips of March to June 2012. it was about when Finn had a falling out with a friend and decided to cut him out. after some growth and maturity, we may realize the decisions we made back then, we would do differently today. the question is will we correct our past transgressions? it's hard and humble to confront our own failings, so no wonder it's not done very often.
for the artwork, i am pretty happy with that last panel since i drew it with no model or live picture reference. everytime i do that, the body posture may not turn out right, but it does make it more cartoony, and thus more 'life-like.' as fo that second panel, i took that from a a picture of a President pondering out the window.
what is this all about?
i wonder how many of you all out there have had such a journey or moment n life, when you experienced a new level of insight and self-awareness. i don't think it happens too often, but i think you have to both paying attention and open to it, for it to actually change you. for me, i find myself all too often running between event 1 to event 3 and onward to event 50 before i catch my breath. but when i do, when i choose to take a moment for myself, boy do i feel great!
it's back to the "talking heads" type comic strip! when Watterson had to do these, he'd put Calvin & Hobbes in a toboggan and send them over a hill crashing. for me, i'm working on body expressions and gestures. hope you like it!
home plus some
what it must be like to live by yourself for so long and then be trust into a living situation with another person, and all their habits. foibles are not, it's just different and different is hard. so, what to do? fight hard to retain the way things are? or be a passive and let what come may? like two sides of a coin, the trick is to be a magician and put the coin on it's edge! it's hard, it takes time, but in the end, it'll be totally worth it.
back to the thick outlines with the thinner pens for details. what do you think? should the house be more of a mess?

Hello Mark.
Thanks for initiating a discussion of incident metering. Your discussion is interesting, and added some basic information for those not familiar with incident metering. However, forgive me for staing that in my opinion, significant parts of "the story" have been omitted.
The dial on the incident meter will attempt to make everything middle gray, and hence as you have hinted, a single shadow reading will be rendered as middle gray as will a single highlight reading. To be unaware of the need to double the film speed when metering the shadows ( or raise the film speed as much as you desire to render the shadows other than middle gray ) and to make similar adjustments when metering the highlights, is to invite error.
Incidentally, where exactly should one place the EI? You have chosen to follow the recommendations of the film manufacturer, but correctly infer that each individual must define one's own EI. Many analog photographers have found that the manufacturer's EI values are not optimal when used with the film developer, printing paper, and print developer that one uses. As you might agree, the optimal EI value to use can be defined by testing of one's materials....or through making a large number of exposures as defined below which is, of course, one way of "testing".
The need for testing is mentioned, but hardly emphasized. The exposure of a negative is simply one part of the equation, with film developing adding another very key variable that must be controlled. Certainly "develop for the highlights" has become an accepted paradigm for many analog photographers. One can apply a considerable degree of artistic control by metering the highlights so as to raise or lower the subject brightness range ( as you know, the SBR will help define the developing time by allowing one to deduce the correct time to develop one's film ) and in so doing, control the length of development and the density ( highlights of course in the print ) in the negative. However, how much should one develop a scene for so called "normal" development? If one is indeed using fixed graded paper then the need to be precise in both exposure and development is paramount. Yes, one of the more alluring features of VC paper is the ability that one has to "overcome" a wide variety of exposure and development errors. However, as you state, even those who use VC paper ( and VC paper does have some problems, but such is grist for another mill ) should aim to produce negatives of optimal quality.
So, how does one go about defining one's material? One can attempt to implement the methods of Adams, Minor White, and others in order to define the characteristics of their printing paper and to relate such to the film and developer combination that they use. Such testing methods are most often used by those who use the zone system and reflected metering. One can attempt to learn to develop by inspection as has been done for years, and which method is very well explained by Michael Smith. Incident or reflected metering can be used if one desires to DBI. Incident metering is part and parcel of the Beyond the Zone System approach as formulated and popularized by the late Phil Davis and now carried out through Fred Newman at the View Camera Store. In my opinion, those who are seriously interested in using incident metering would be well advised to read some basic material concerning the BTZS approach. One can of course, go into the field and take lots of negatives in various lighting situations at various EI values, develop for various times, and print the negatives at various filter settings on the enlarger. I would posit that such testing is immensely tedious and can be wasteful of time and materials. Bruce Barnbaum supplies his paradigm for testing in his estimable text...one might go on and on, but the need for testing should not be ignored.
Yes, by all means consider incident metering....however, such metering needs a framework with which to apply the readings obtained. Without an understanding of exactly how incident metering and EI are related to one's film, film developer, printing paper, and printing developer such metering will be subject to educated guesses.

This month we're joined by two authors to give differing views on how cycling has shaped the American landscape.
Sue Macy, author of Wheels of Change: How Women Rode the Bicycle to Freedom (With a Few Flat Tires Along the Way) will bring her perspectives on how cycling shaped the landscape for women and how it continues to change.
Jesús Ilundáin-Agurruza, editor of Cycling — Philosophy for Everyone: A Philosophical Tour de Force will talk about the essays chosen for his book and reveal why cycling effects us all — even if you don't ride a bike.
Today's show, hosted by Denise Morris, features two conversations about Ayn Rand, an interview about public goods and the economy, and the latest scores for the current class-war.
Watch out, Portland! (Or more accurately, watch this). Bike coordinators and advocates from across North America discuss how their cities are taking the lead on cycling-- including bike sharing programs, off road trail developments and much more. Portland may be a forerunner in cycling, but these cities are inspiring and quickly on the way to becoming bike meccas themselves. Guest Randy Neufield, National advocate with the SRAM Cycling Fund, will give our listeners a broad perspective on where and how cycling is affecting transportation nationwide.
Other guests include:
Oregon lawmakers are considering several bills aimed at sex-trafficking, including tougher sentences and fines, publicizing names of johns, and detention of child prostitutes. This week, Jo Ann and Dave took a look at these bills and at other strategies for stopping sexual exploitation of Oregon youth.

This week, Jo Ann and Dave give us updates on what's happening in the Oregon Legislature.
Kevin Mannix promised voters in 1994 that his Ballot Measure 11 establishing minimum mandatory sentences would create certainty in Oregon's criminal justice system. While the measure tripled the state's prison population over 20 years, a new report by the state Criminal Justice Commission finds that Measure 11 not only failed to deliver certainty, it has cost the state billions of dollars while it shifting sentencing power from the hands of judges to those of district attorneys - a shift many see as dangerous.

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
I have a pretty good life and I am very grateful. I am fun, honest, sometimes funny, caring, giving, supportive, responsible, financially stable, somewhat smart, and try to keep informed on what's going on in the world. Love dogs, esp Labs and Beagles. I have great friends who are there thru the good and the not so good. I have a great job/career that I really enjoy most days and it allows me to do the stuff that I love. I can be shy at first, but I am looking forward to sharing my life with someone special again. I am looking for a real connection and some "chemistry". Someone I can trust, rely on and take care of in a healthy way. I have faith that the next chapter in my life will be the best so far....
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Trying to enjoy life and appreciate all is has to offer. I enjoy being outdoors, love nature, the ocean and mountains. I enjoy biking, hiking, golf (first hole in one recently), sporting events (GO KINGS GO, STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS), concerts, and flyfishing (my great escape), movies, dining out, cooking in together. Still like camping a couple times a year, but I am starting to prefer the comforts of a nice room in a great location... I also don't mind at times relaxing and watching a DVRd show or reading. I try to swim a few times a week and catch a spin class every so often. Would prefer to be outside doing stuff than at the gym. I'm still learning, growing and trying to experience new things. Enjoy weekend getaways to nice places. I'm not really sure how this dating website stuff is going to work out, a little scary, yet exciting...
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Being a great friend, helping others, my job. Sorry but I love numbers, they sort of talk to me (suduko).
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
hazel green eyes, smile, sense of humor, shiny head
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
Sunday times, an occasional book, a few monthly magazines, lots of movies. Some TV: Newsroom, Justified, Good Wife, SONS. Music: 100.3, 98.7 95.5, 80's and some good current stuff, The Eagles, Heart, Chicago, Queen, Elton John, Beatles, Sarah Mclachlan, Foo Fighters and many more. Food: sushi, Italian, Mexican, I'm getting hungry...
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
friends, good food, a river to flyfish in, flannel sheets on a cold night, a woman's smile and touch, some faith, and YOU
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
how to fold fitted sheets, you!
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Relaxing from a long week, hanging out with friends, a quiet evening with someone special at home or a great meal dining out or maybe heading North out of town for the weekend.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
yeah, like that's going to happen
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
Let's go for a hike! You enjoy doing stuff outdoors, also ok with quiet downtime at home, your open to trying new things, willing to share your life , have a responsible job/career, and are able to share your feelings in a communicative way.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Arts and Expression
We met Deb and the ISIS crew when they approached us to partner in the support of the SexTech Conference in SF on April 1st and 2nd. We met them at YU and at their office regularly over a two month period. Our experience with the entire staff was fantastic. They are experts in the arena of sexual health for young people and completely professional in their approach to our partnership. They taught us much about the field and were open to the input of our youth staff. They were encouraging, positive and helpful in the many projects we undertook together. We were so happy to partner with them and look forward to building the relationship over the years.

Botswana's unit of currency is the Pula (P), which is divided into 100 Thebe (t). The word 'Pula' means rain and 'thebe' means shield. The shield appears on the national coat of arms. Bank notes come in denominations of P10, 20, 50 and 100, and coins in denominations of 5t, 10t, 25t, 50t, P1, P2 and P5. As a rough guide US$ 1.00 = P 5.50.
Botswana banks will only accept Pula, US Dollars, Pounds Sterling, Euro and South African Rand in cash. Traveller's cheques are also acceptable. Most camps do accept Master and Visa cards.

The Phoenix Suns are so confident in what team president Jason Rowley calls their "exciting brand of basketball" that the team is offering fans their money back - regardless of the game's outcome - if they're not completely satisfied with the experience at Thursday night's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. The way the Suns are playing, that could end up being quite a costly promotion. Back from its longest trip of the season, Phoenix will try to avoid its first five-game losing streak in nearly 11 months as it begins a stretch of six of seven at home. Whether it's to generate some excitement in the desert for the new-look Suns, fill the US Airways Center for a nationally televised game, or both, the team's "Satisfaction Guaranteed Night" comes at a time when Phoenix (7-12) isn't satisfied at all with its play. The team ended a 1-5 trip with Tuesday's 108-98 overtime loss to Memphis, a game the Suns led by as many as 16 in the second quarter. "We played good for three quarte...

Rhyme about handguns
Lyric Meaning
Gangster rappers of the 90s were the center of controversy for their supposedly positive portrayal of gun violence in their songs. Heems is being ironic, because the bottom line is that rapping about handguns is in no way violent or a bad thing.
Also a reference to the previous line about Jeff Mangum, whose last name is close to magnum, a handgun.
While not trying to get into an argument about whether guns cause violence, I would say Heems' sarcasm is more in the "It's fun to do bad things" part of the line. Heems is all about that positive energy, not rapping about violence for the sake of violence.

Considerations for Carving Clay: How to Create Beautiful Carved Decoration on Your Pottery
Carving into a clay surface can be very gratifying, but when you're making pieces for use, you need to be make sure that the carving accentuates the function and doesn't hinder it. It's easy to get carried away and end up with a piece that doesn't function as well as it could. In today's post, an excerpt from the second edition of our free download Ceramic Carving Tool Techniques: Bringing the Ceramic Surface to Life, potter Emily Reason shares her secrets for getting her clay carving just right. Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
Carving with Care: How to Carve Exquisite Patterns on a Mug
There is something about carving into leatherhard clay that is so satisfying. It's probably why trimming pots is my favorite part of throwing. But using carving as a decorative tool is something I have never really explored. Until now, that is. After seeing Adam Field work, I am eager to give it a try. And after editing Adam's DVD, Precision Throwing, Intricate Carving, which debuts today, I am equipped with a lot more knowledge on how to do it successfully! In today's post, I'm giving you a taste of Adam's technique and the DVD. – Jennifer Harnetty, editor. PS. Adam demonstrates how he makes his Korean-style carving tools on his new DVD!

In today's post, Kathy King, Wayne Bates, and Kristen Pavelka share their best tips for sgraffito, including what tools they use and the perfect time to carve. Everybody does it slightly differently.

A Simple Way to Make Your Own Super Sharp Sgraffito Tools
Today we are presenting one of the Honorable Mentions from our recent D.I.Y. Clay Tools Video Contest. This one comes from Cristine Boyd in Denver, Colorado. Cristine was having trouble finding a nice, sharp, affordable sgraffito tool that retained its sharpness so she took matters into her own hands.

This Place Closed Down.Posted on 03 / 15 / 2014
Doesn't exist anymore.
Doesn't exist anymore.
The food is incredible here. Always fresh, pure and wholesome. Some of the best coffee in town. Co-owner Laurance is there to please--always smiling, generous and accommodating! Delicious, delicious!
Today was the day that I experienced this amazing small cafe in the heart of the Mile End. It opened up to me like a flower, as it looks small from the outside, but is not on the inside. The scents of spices perfumed the air and the sun bathed the cafeé with a warm glow. I was in-love! The space, the art on the walls, the Mediteranean feel to the decor and the FOOD!!! The vegan plate of the day was a real delight and so so fresh! On the menu was an Organic mesclun salad with herbs and shallots; a chinese cabbage, curry, raisin puréed soup and string beans in a tomato, onion and garlic sauce with all-spice! Home cooked and light and mostly organic whenever possible mentioned co-owner Laurance.
As I am mostly vegan, but on the rare occassion vegetarian, it is sometimes hard to find savory vegan food, but not at `le Zigoto`cafe!
The coffee is also Organic and fairtraded and one of the best I`ve tried in Montreal!
The atmosphere so soothing and the people attending to us so warm and attentive! I look forward to eating there again and very soon!
Another treat is the art work on display...it changes every 2 months. Check out their blogue www.lezigotocafe.blogspot.com

Wheel Of Time FeatureSo anyone who is a fan of the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan knows that the fourteenth (and last book) is coming out on 8th January 2013. And to anyone who isn't a fan .... well you should be. Cause it's awesome.Wheel Of Time Feature3 years ago in Personal More Like This
Anyhoo, I am uber excited for this book coming out. I started reading these books about ten years ago and have been hooked on them ever since. And now the last book is coming out! Unfortunately Robert Jordan died in 2007, but he passed on the mantle to Brandon Sanderson, in order for the sereis to continue. Personally I think Sanderson has done a fantastic job with the continuing the story. But it is a shame that Jordan didn't get to see the finish himself.
And here is where my feature comes in. I did think about posting this on 8th January, but lets be honest, it just wouldn't get done then. I'll be far too busy reading my book.

Education welfare
Is your child at school today?
Many pupils go to school every day and enjoy it. Some children may experience difficulties in attending school for many reasons. A parent or carer may not be aware that this is happening.
Cornwall Council recognises that regular school attendance is essential. Children need to enjoy their time in school and make the most of the opportunities available to them.
If a pupil misses one day a week for their entire school career they would lose the equivalent of two school years. The time missed at school can lead to gaps in knowledge that become difficult to fill.
The Education Welfare Service is aiming to reduce truanting within Cornwall through anti-truancy schemes operating in certain areas in the county. This is a joint initiative between the Council and Devon and Cornwall Constabulary. Through this initiative the police will have the power to take truants back to school.
The Education Welfare Service can also offer support and help to pupils, parents, carers and schools who may be having problems with attendance.
Remember, if your child is not in school
- they may be putting themselves or others at risk
- they are missing ou on educational opportunities
What can you do to help?
- Make sure your child arrives at school on time
- Be aware of the schools rules and routines
- If your child is ill contact the school on the first day they are ill. When the pupil returns to school send an explanatory note of absence.
- Ask the schools permission in advance if you wish your child to miss school for an exceptional reason. These may be:
- a holiday in term time
- A day of religious observance
- Above all, show interest in your child's school work and maintain contact with your child's school.
- If your child has problems with attending school, talk to their teachers or contact the Education Welfare Service
Unacceptable reasons for absence
- Shopping
- Birthday trips and treats
- Non urgent medical and dental appointments.
Holidays in term time
Holidays should not be taken during term time. Holiday request forms are available from your child's school office for those who wish to take unavoidable holidays during term time.
Holidays may be taken at the Headteacher's discretion if they deem the reason for the holiday to be 'exceptional circumstances'.
If your child's attendance is poor, it is unlikely that the school will grant permission for a holiday. Some schools do not allow term time holidays.
How can the Education Welfare Service help?
Most schools in Cornwall have a nominated Education Welfare Officer (EWO) who visits regularly to check registers and discuss pupils about whom the school is concerned. The EWO can provide help and advice on:
- School attendance issues
- Bullying
- Exclusions
- Child Protection procedures
- Advice and information about other agencies
Please check with your child's school to see if there is an EWO available.
What the law says?
The 1996 Education Act makes it very clear that parents must ensure that their child of school age receives regular, full-time education. For most parents this is in school. Where children are registered in school they must attend. Only the school can authorise a child's absence. If a child is not registered or does not attend Cornwall Council may take legal action against the parents or carers where appropriate.
Devon and Cornwall Police involvement
Patrolling officers may speak to children who are truanting from school. In addition, Section 16 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 empowers the police to remove truants from a public place and return them to school; the police can only remove those children who are of compulsory school age.
If you are worried about your child's attendance please try talking to your child's school first. If you feel unable to do this or you would like further help, please contact the Education Welfare Service.

iBet: Capital One Cup Squad Rotation Usually Leads To Goals
Manchester United V Liverpool,Weds, kick off 7.45pm, Sky Sports 2
Back over 2.5 goals at ¾ (Betfair Sportsbook)
Consider over 2.5 goals multiple in the five all Premier League third round ties
History tells us to expect goals in all Premier League third round ties of the Capital One Cup. There have been 58 goals in 18 such games over the last five years – an average of more than three per game. One of the reasons there are usually plenty of goals in this competition is that managers are trying players out, and experiments at the back are bound to lead to mistakes. Another is that this is not the managers' priority, so they are happy to 'go for it'.
Last season every one of the all Premier League third round clashes went over the 2.5 goals line and with five such clashes over the next two days and the price on all of them producing at least three goals close to the even mark, a multiple could be in order. Instead, however, I'm looking to pick the one I think most likely to be open.
My initial thought was the Villa v Spurs tie where my two outright picks for the competition meet. However, Tottenham's defence is too good and 2-0 is too big of a runner with Benteke injured. Instead look to Old Trafford. David Moyes has demanded an immediate reaction following an insipid effort against Manchester City on Sunday. He won't name a first choice team and neither will Brendan Rodgers, but as discussed above, that's is more likely to result in goals, especially with Luis Suarez likely to be in the Liverpool team.
Roberto Di Matteo has been made the bookies' early favourite to replace Paulo Di Canio at Sunderland with prices ranging from ½ on, to even money. Gus Poyet is next in the betting at around 5/1. Manchester City's brilliant performance on Sunday has seen them backed in the outright Premier League market. Pellegrini's men are now best priced 15/8 favourites, which looks attractive. Chelsea are 100/30 (SkyBet), Manchester United out to 9/2 (Betfair Sportsbook), Arsenal a stand out 7/1 with Ladbrokes and Spurs are 11/1.
