Battlestations Midway pin-up 3 by henningWatch
©2007-2016 henning
This is one out of three pin-up ladies I painted for Kennedy & Monk for the computer game Battlestations Midway from EIDOS. It was a different and very exiting experience working on these illustrations. They were heavily art directed by a very talented director, and we had a good time developing this. They are not being used in the game, but are being used for PR purposes and similar things.
The game is available on XBox-360 and PC once it releases later this month.
Painted using Photoshop CS2 with a Wacom Intuos tablet. I spent many hours on this one, I dont know how many exactly.
Close-ups and progress steps here: [link]
Oooh Very nice and easy on the eye
jajaja love it
I was looking for clip art to purchase to use on a t-shirt and came across this image in a pack for sale on Etsy:
Thanks again, really appreciate you informing me about this
I've tried contacting the shop owner.

No problem. Looks like that's how that guy makes his earnings, hopefully something can be done about it.
Hi! I'm from Czech republic and I'm in senior year on high school, we have a prom ball on theme sailors or something like that. We are girl school and this picture with this girl is really beautiful. I know what you write that guy asking for t-shirt paint but I want to try it. Can we use your work for poster? Thanks for reply .
And sorry, my english is bad.

Hello, thanks for considering my work. I don't own the copyright for this piece, but my client does. I'm guessing as long as it's non profit, and you're not using it anywhere public, like in any media or similar, it's fine
Hi!! Can I use your work for the t-shirt?
I loveee
I loveee
Thanks a lot!
This is unfortunately copyrighted and cannot be used at all. Not even I'm allowed to use it for t-shirts

Ah... pinups, gotta love 'em
Have you ever heard of an artist called Alberto Vargas? He was a popular pinup artist during WW2. Your work is remarkably like his.
Nice job on getting the style down.
Nice job on getting the style down.
I wish more pin up artists used tasteful poses and outfits like yours, most just go for nudity but it defeats the mystery and playfulness of older pin up styles.
Looks great!
great job . i used it at my own work for fun only of course . only please dont kill me
Thanks a lot
But I'm afraid that you can't use the piece publicly, as it is protected by copyrights and I don't allow this kind of use of my work.
Sorry about this, it's just the way things work.

Saskatchewan Arts Board
|This article's use of external links may not follow Wikipedia's policies or guidelines. (July 2015)
The Saskatchewan Arts Board is an arms-length funding agency that provides grants, programs and services to individuals and groups whose activities have an impact on the arts and the people of Saskatchewan. Established by the Government of Saskatchewan in 1948, it was the first agency of its kind in Canada.
The professional and management staff of the Arts Board provides consultation services in a variety of areas including community and organizational development, research, information, advocacy and communications. In addition, the Arts Board is involved in a number of partnerships and co-operative arrangements with like-minded organizations and manages the world's largest collection of art objects exclusively by Saskatchewan artists.
The importance of the input and feedback of the community it serves is a priority throughout the Arts Board's operations and is formalized within the Arts Board Act, 1997. Although officially appointed by the Lieutenant Governor-in-Council, one-third of the members of the Arts Board's board of directors is chosen from a list of nominees provided by the arts community. This process assists in ensuring the Arts Board is representative of the thoughts, ideas and directions of the community itself. The board reports to the province's minister responsible for the Saskatchewan Arts Board.
Saskatchewan Arts Board by Order in Council was established in 1948 and the Arts Board Act a year later in 1949. They were part of several cultural initiatives undertaken by the government of T.C. Douglas, based on the belief that "the people of the Prairies are hungry ... for things of the mind and the spirit: good music, literature, paintings and folk songs. This was why the Arts Board was established."[1]
The Arts Board launched several high-profile initiatives. By 1968, the Arts Board had a unique Permanent Collection, the School of the Arts at Fort San, and consulting services and grant programs, which became the agency's signature functions.[1]
The creation of the Department of Culture and Youth in 1972 and, in 1974, it establishment of the provincial lottery system, had an affect on the Arts Board. This strengthened groups dedicated to community participation and arts education, while posing a challenge to the development of a unified policy and leadership for the arts in Saskatchewan. A debate developed about "professional and amateur" in the arts, while the increased lottery revenues caused the government to increase its support to the Arts Board. The Board began to change its activities that had previously occupied a large portion of its time, lessening its interest in its development and community-based mandate.[1]
From 1990 the Arts Board was restored as Saskatchewan's single unified arts agency. This was the key recommendation of the Provincial Government's Arts Strategy Task Force. In the late 90s that steps were taken to meet the needs and aspirations of Aboriginal artists.
In 2004 the Arts Board directed support to 99 artists, 45 organizations and 47 projects for a total of over $5.3 million. Its mission statement, dating from 2000, commits the Board to cultivating an environment where the arts will thrive for the benefit of everyone in Saskatchewan.[1]
Arts Funding Programs[edit]
The Arts Board offers several funding opportunities to individuals and organizations, including:
- Aboriginal Editors Circle
- ArtsSmarts/TreatySmarts
- Creative Partnerships
- Culture on the Go
- Independent Artists Grant
- Indigenous Pathways Initiative - Grants to Artists
- Professional Arts Organizations Program
- Provincial Cultural Organization Grant
- SaskFestivals Grant
The Arts Board also administers grant and award programs in partnership with other agencies:
The Arts Board offers a scholarship for students in the arts:
Permanent Collection[edit]
The Arts Board's Permanent Collection is a unique collection of art by Saskatchewan artists. It includes nearly 3,000 works of art in all media by more than 600 artists and is the largest body of work by Saskatchewan artists in the world. The Permanent Collection presents a vision of the province as seen through the eyes of hundreds of artists, innovative and traditional, emerging and established. It also preserves part of Saskatchewan's artistic history, and gives people the opportunity to appreciate Saskatchewan artwork in their communities and daily lives.
The Arts Board makes the Permanent Collection accessible by bringing it to the people of the province in their workplaces, schools and communities. Works form the collection are loaned to galleries and other venues around the province and country for exhibitions, film production, broadcast and publication opportunities. The Arts Board's Saskatchewan...Our Place poster kits were created to help teachers raise awareness about Saskatchewan art and artists in schools. The Arts Board's Art Rental program brings highly regarded artwork right into the office.
Art Rental[edit]
Art Rental clients are Saskatchewan government departments, agencies, crown corporations, boards, commissions and the corporate sector. Non-profit organizations and institutions may also rent art from the Saskatchewan Arts Board's Permanent Collection.
Arts Board staff provides expertise and advice to clients, meeting them at their offices to assess needs and recommend display locations. Clients may select art from a wide variety of paintings, drawings, textiles, prints, photographs and sculptures in the Arts Board's Permanent Collection. Arts Board professionals install the artworks, and clean and repair them as required. The Saskatchewan Arts Board also covers insurance and some transportation costs. Information on how to rent art is available here.
Lieutenant Governor's Arts Awards[edit]
On the occasion of its 40th anniversary in 1988, the Arts Board established the Lifetime Award for Excellence in the Arts. The award honours Saskatchewan individuals whose accomplishments have had a major impact on the arts provincially, nationally and internationally.
In 2004, the awards program expanded and the Arts Board established the Lieutenant Governor's Arts Awards to recognize the achievements made by individuals, groups and organizations in the arts.
In celebration of Saskatchewan's Centennial in 2005, the Co-operators commissioned an original piece of artwork by Joe Fafard that was awarded to Lieutenant Governor's Arts Awards recipients for a period of ten years. In addition to the artwork, all award recipients receive a cash prize. Award categories include Lifetime Achievement, Emerging Artist, Leadership - Individual, Leadership - Organization, Arts and Learning, Volunteer, and Saskatchewan Artist.
Past recipients of the Lieutenant Governor's Arts Awards and the Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in the Arts are found [1].
Annual Art Exhibitions[edit]
The Arts Board makes the Permanent Collection accessible by bringing it to the people of the province in their workplaces, schools and communities. Works form the collection are loaned to galleries and other venues around the province and country for exhibitions, film production, broadcast and publication opportunities.
These include:
- Annual art exhibitions and artists-in-residence collaborative exhibitions at the Canadian Western Agribition, the Queen City Ex and the Saskatoon Ex
- Annual exhibitions at the Lieutenant Governor's Arts Awards
- Mayor's Arts and Business Awards (Regina)
- YWCA Women of Distinction Awards (Regina and Saskatoon)
Supporting Indigenous Artists[edit]
Grant Programs for Indigenous Artists
- The Indigenous Pathways Initiative – Grants to Artists is designed to increase participation in, and access to public funding by Indigenous artists in the province. The Indigenous Pathways Initiative seeks to address these issues while also increasing public access to high-quality Indigenous art.
One or more of the grants provided by this program may be funded through the 2005 Canada Games Building Dreams and Champions Legacy Program: Emerging Aboriginal Artists Award. This initiative provides support to young emerging Aboriginal artists in the province who are just starting out on a career path in the arts.
Clearing a Path: An Exhibition of Traditional Indigenous Art
Clearing a Path was first launched in fall 2005 and has been appreciated by thousands of people across the province and premiered on a world stage at the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad in February 2009. The exhibit includes close to 30 works by 20 artists, celebrates the talent of Saskatchewan's Indigenous artists working in traditional media and features a wide range of Indigenous art forms, including carving and bead and quill work. The artwork itself is made from traditional materials gathered in Saskatchewan and is an expression of Indigenous cultural practices that are unique to the province and not found anywhere else in the world.
Exhibit Locations and Dates:
- First Nations University of Canada Gallery (Regina Campus) – Nov. to Dec. 2005
- Wanuskewin Heritage Park Gallery – Dec. 2005 to Feb. 2006
- Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils Tour – Apr. 2006 to Apr. 2008
- Regina International Airport – June to Nov. 2008
- Talking Stick Festival, Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad – Feb. 2009
- 2009 Buffalo Days – the Queen City Ex – Aug. 2009
- RCMP Heritage Museum, Regina – Nov. 2009 to Mar. 2010
Detailed Background:
In 2004, the Saskatchewan Arts Board piloted a new program, the Indigenous Pathways Initiative - Traditional Arts Grant. It was the first in a series of programs designed by the Arts Board to increase participation and access to its public funding by the Indigenous artists of the province.
The purpose of the Traditional Arts Grant program is to facilitate access to funding by Indigenous cultural workers: Indigenous artists, whose work is primarily in a traditional cultural art medium such as beading, birch bark biting, dancing, storytelling, drumming etc. Two objectives of the Traditional Arts Grant program are to raise the profile of traditional arts and artists working in a traditional media and support traditional art that is passed from one generation to the next.
During one of the initial peer assessment juries (a panel of Indigenous artists with expertise in the appropriate art forms), a recommendation was made that all the new artwork created through this grant should be promoted and put on display, helping to achieve two of the programs objectives: the general public would have access to this unique work, and the artists who have worked in obscurity for most of their lives would be recognized. In addition, the work could also be shared with Indigenous artists from different areas, creating an artistic exchange.
It was acknowledged that these arts forms are often relegated to the category of "craft" and not recognized by western European tradition as "real art." So, the Arts Board developed an exhibition of work by recipients of the Traditional Arts Grant that would challenge people's perceptions, while providing increased visibility for Indigenous traditional art.
In summer 2005, curators Sherry Farrell Racette and Carmen Robertson were hired to select the art work for the show, and a partnership with the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils ensured the exhibition would be widely toured in the province. In Nov. 2005, Clearing a Path: An Exhibition of Traditional Indigenous Arts opened at the First Nations University of Canada Gallery in Regina. With an impressive review by Leader-Post Arts Critic Jack Anderson and several feature interviews on CBC and APTN, the show continued to gain momentum and moved to Wanuskewin Heritage Park for a two-month run. Bookings for the OSAC tour immediately filled up and the demand for the show was so great that the Arts Board extended the exhibition touring dates another year. Upon expiration of the tour, the show was re-curated for the Regina International Airport, where it showed until Nov. 30, 2008.
Clearing a Path then premiered on a world stage at the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad in February 2009 as Saskatchewan's inaugural event at the Olympics. After this milestone event, the exhibit moved on to 2009 Buffalo Days in Regina in August 2009 and on to the RCMP Heritage Centre until March 2010.
A catalogue of the works in the exhibit was prepared for the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad and is available for sale.
A second exhibition curated by Carmen Robertson and Sherry Farrell-Racette, Cherished Things, had its national debut at Harbourfront Centre's Love, Saskatchewan festival in Toronto in July 2010. Cherished Things is a dynamic exhibition that thoughtfully examines the relationship between traditional and contemporary Indigenous art practices in Saskatchewan. It brings together exquisitely crafted objects either produced through grants from the Arts Board or drawn from the Arts Board's Permanent Collection. Cherished Things was also featured at the Saskatoon EX in August 2010.
Grant Partnerships
The Saskatchewan Arts Board partners with other organizations to fund some of its grant programs:
- Aboriginal Editors Circle: The Aboriginal Editors Circle is a joint initiative of the Saskatchewan Arts Board, the Canada Council for the Arts and the Saskatchewan Writers' Guild.
- ArtsSmarts: ArtsSmarts is a program of ArtsSmarts Saskatchewan (Saskatchewan Arts Board, Saskatchewan Ministry of Education, SaskCulture Inc. and ArtsSmarts/GénieArts) with support from the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation, Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund for Sport, Culture and Recreation and program partners.
- Creative Partnerships: The Creative Partnerships Grant program is administered by the Saskatchewan Arts Board and funded by the Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund for Sport, Culture and Recreation through a partnership with SaskCulture Inc.
- Culture on the Go: Culture on the Go grants are made possible through funding provided to the Saskatchewan Arts Board by the Government of Saskatchewan, through the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport.
- Professional Arts Organizations Program: The Professional Arts Organizations Program is administered by the Saskatchewan Arts Board and funded by the Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund for Sport, Culture and Recreation through a partnership with SaskCulture Inc.
- Provincial Cultural Organizations: The Provincial Cultural Organization program is administered by the Saskatchewan Arts Board and funded by the Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund for Sport, Culture and Recreation through a partnership with SaskCulture Inc.
- SaskFestivals: The SaskFestivals Grant program is administered by the Saskatchewan Arts Board and funded in partnership with SaskCulture and the Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund for Sport, Culture and Recreation.
Community Partnerships
The Saskatchewan Arts Board also partners with organizations and businesses to bring artwork into the community and make the work of Saskatchewan artists accessible to the people of the province. Partnerships also give community members the opportunity to be directly involved in the process of making art.
Since 2007, the Saskatchewan Arts Board has partnered with the Canadian Western Agribition to have an Artist in Residence work with school children who attend Agribition, to create a large-scale art installation. Photos of the installations in progress are taken and posted on the Arts Board's website so people can track the progress of the artwork as it grows. An exhibition featuring art from the Arts Board's Permanent Collection is also featured.
The Saskatchewan Arts Board began partnering with the Queen City Ex in 2009 to have an artist-in-residence to work with people attending the exhibition to create a large-scale collaborative art installation. Photos of the installation in progress are on the Arts Board's website. An exhibition featuring art from the Arts Board's Permanent Collection is also featured.
In 2010, the Saskatchewan Arts Board began partnering with the Saskatoon EX to have an artist-in-residence to work with people attending the exhibition to create a large-scale collaborative art installation. An exhibition featuring art from the Arts Board's Permanent Collection is also featured.
- Legislative Building 100th Anniversary Artist Residency
As part of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building 100th Anniversary celebration in 2012, eight Saskatchewan artists are exploring the history and significance of the Legislative Building through community engagement and the creation of permanent legacy artwork.
The artist-in-residence program is part of the province's year-long celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building and has been developed in partnership with the Saskatchewan Arts Board. Under the guidance of artist-in-residence coordinator Laura Hale, who will also serve as a resident artist, the participants will explore the history and significance of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building through their own artistic disciplines.
Each artist will host a community engaged project to encourage cultural exchange at the Legislative Building and will also create a work of art that will be displayed in one of the alcoves in the Rotunda of the Legislative Building. The artwork will be unveiled in December 2012.
The artists are:
- Laura Hale - Tisdale
- Robert Assie - Saskatoon
- Heather Cline - Regina
- Allan Dotson - Regina
- Terri Fidelak - Regina
- Miranda Jones - Saskatoon
- Sandra Ledingham - Saskatoon
- Anita Smith - Saskatoon.
For bios of the artists-in-residence and information on the projects they will undertake during their residencies, visit the Saskatchewan Legislative Building's 100th anniversary website.
A request for proposals resulted in a number of excellent submissions. The artists were selected by the project steering committee made up of members of the Provincial Capital Commission; Parks, Culture and Sport; Central Services and the Saskatchewan Arts Board in co-ordination with the artist co-ordinator.
This artist-in-residence initiative is funded through the Creative Partnerships program, which is delivered by the Saskatchewan Arts Board in collaboration with SaskCulture Inc., through funding from the Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund for Sport, Culture and Recreation.
- Artists in the Community
In 2006, Saskatoon was designated a Cultural Capital of Canada, on the basis of a number of exciting projects, including one that gave community-based organizations an opportunity to work with artists.
The Artists in the Community project ran from October 2006 to September 2007. It was presented by the Saskatchewan Arts Board in collaboration with the City of Saskatoon, with the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Cultural Capitals of Canada program. The Saskatchewan Arts Board acknowledges the funding support of SaskCulture Inc. and SaskLotteries Trust for its Artist in Residence programs.
Eight community-based residencies were selected from a broad variety of sectors within Saskatoon. Organizational staff, volunteers, community members, managers, and organization clientele had the unique opportunity to work with an artist for six to nine months.
Artists in the Community encouraged collaboration and connections between diverse groups within the city and explored the relationship between creativity and place. The project increased access to art and culture, built capacity in local groups, and helped to create an environment to nurture and sustain a creative community in Saskatoon.

- Art at Work
In 2004, the City of Regina was awarded the designation Cultural Capital of Canada. One of the city's many exciting projects was an innovative Art At Work program that would see professional artists working within the business environment. Given the Saskatchewan Arts Board's long-standing experience administering artist residency programs within the province, the Arts Board was pleased to partner with the City of Regina to administer Art At Work.
Art at Work residencies offered a diverse range of opportunities such as workshops for staff, public events/open studios, and collaborative planning processes, as well as artists' personal projects. Ten Regina workplaces recruited artists to animate their diverse organizations with the goal of making Regina one of the most compelling places to work in Canada. Employers, their staff and, in some cases, customers had the opportunity to experience workplaces through a creative lens while developing an array of unique, transferable skills. This project nurtured the creative spirit in all Regina residents and exemplified the benefits of creating partnerships between the arts and other sectors.

100 Years of Heart: Celebrating Saskatchewan's Centennial[edit]
The Saskatchewan Arts Board was involved in celebrating Saskatchewan's Centennial in 2005 with two important projects:
- Centennial Commissions Project: To celebrate the Saskatchewan Centennial, the Saskatchewan Arts Board commissioned the design, creation, and installation of four large-scale, permanent, outdoor artworks in four Saskatchewan gateway communities: Estevan (Spinning Prairie by Jefferson Little); Lloydminster (Sky Dance by Douglas Bentham); Yorkton (Doorways to Opportunity by Lionel Peyachew) and LaRonge (Portage by Chris St. Amand).
- Saskatchewan Centennial Mural Project: The Province of Saskatchewan designated funding for the creation of a large mural in the Saskatchewan Legislative Building. An important objective of the 2005 Saskatchewan Centennial Mural Project is to create an artwork that is reflective of the experiences of Indigenous Peoples of Northern Saskatchewan. The painting was installed in the rotunda of the Legislative building and has become a key architectural and artistic highlight in the Legislative Building and an important opportunity to present the stories and way of life of Northern Saskatchewan Aboriginal people. Roger Jerome, a Métis artist who lives in Air Ronge, designed and painted the mural, Northern Tradition and Transition.

Time for the captain to step up

The stock power supply is only 250 Watts so that's a far cry from the test setup noted at:
The connector on the back was indeed power and this is not a good choice for this old box.
Try the usual under 30 buck ATI 5450 1GB card next.
Just recently picked up a Compaq SR1910NX. Its an old PC with an integrated graphics card. I just needed it to view YouTube videos and write the occasional paper on MS Word. Long story short, I can barely view YouTube videos (fullscreen is WORSE) because of the shared memory between the pc and graphics card (and It came with 1.43gb installed) Ugh..anyway I went on CL and bought a used NVIDIA GeForce 7900GS PCI-E card. I've never installed a PCI-E express card, just PCI. It has a connector on the back on the card, im guessing to hook to the power supply but im stumped as to how. I plugged it in without a power supply and the fan came on. *shrugs* idk..i have a lot of spare connectors in the pc from the previous owner but none look like the connection on the video card. I need a little help. If needed I could snap a couple picks.

Finally, another false narrative suggests that the real story of Republican catastrophe in 2012 amounted to a wholesale rejection by younger voters who hated the party and its candidate because of antediluvian positions on social issues.
Oh, really? Then how could one explain that GOP support among 18-29 year old voters actually went up sharply from 2008—from 32% to 37%?
Even more startling, young people who happened to be white still comprised a big majority (61%) of all voters below the age of 30 and delivered a shocking, counter-intuitive verdict on the choice between the ineffably cool Barack and the hopelessly square Mitt: going for the Mormon grandfather of 18 by a decisive, near-landslide margin of 7 points. In fact, the entire basis for Barack Obama's strength among young voters in general stemmed from the disproportionate presence among them of blacks, Latinos and Asians—groups that tilted lopsidedly toward Obama. Non-whites comprised 39% of the youth vote but only 28% of the overall electorate, so it's hardly surprising that Romney would score a smaller overall percentage of these ballots from under-30 citizens. Romney's loss of young voters, in other words, reflects racial politics far more plausibly than any universal surge of youthful progressivism.
Going forward, the GOP clearly faces a crucial challenge in broadening support in communities of color, since white voters will never again comprise 72% (or more) of the overall electorate, and no candidate can possibly expect to do better among whites than did Romney (winning this component of the population by a crushing margin of 60-40%). Republicans don't need to win majorities among blacks, Latinos or Asians but they do need to compete: if Romney had fared only as well among these minority groups as did Bush in '04 (with 11% of blacks, and 44% of both Asians and Latinos) he would have won decisively—even with a far less white electorate.
The GOP faces formidable challenges in rebuilding after the crushing disappointment of November, but misinformation and distortion will only hinder that process. The problem for Romney and Ryan wasn't missing Republicans or disengaged conservatives or alienated Evangelicals. It was the appalling performance of the party and its ticket with all those voters, young and old, who identified with the nation's non-white minority. If Republicans ever hope to learn how to win again it's essential to be honest about how we lost—again.

Would not change a thing on this. But it does taste better on a Granny Smith apple then a red apple.
I've always used this one (never with spices though!) It's great! You can add a little marachino cherry juice to give it color/taste.

House GOP Votes Paul Ryan 54th SpeakerPaul Ryan became the 54th speaker of the U.S. House on Thursday in a day of high political theater, a young new leader for a fractured Congress, charged with healing Republican divides and quieting the chaos of Capitol Hill.
House Conservatives Back Ryan, Opening Door To A New SpeakerBacked by a majority of the pugnacious House Freedom Caucus, Rep. Paul Ryan seems all but assured of becoming the next House speaker, an ascension Republicans hope would end a month of political pandemonium that has made Congress and the GOP seem anarchic.
Divided Republicans Resist Paul Ryan's Call For UnityFractious conservatives resisted Paul Ryan's appeals to rally around him for House speaker Wednesday, suggesting fresh trouble ahead in the Republican-on-Republican struggle between pragmatists and purists. The fight has rendered Congress almost dysfunctional and shaken the party's presidential campaign.
4 Things: Paul Ryan Considers House Speaker, Ads Linked To Underage Drinking & MoreFrom Wisconsin's Rep. Paul Ryan considering Speaker of the House position to a new study linking alcohol ads to underage drinking, here are the four stories to know for Wednesday, Oct. 21.
Paul Ryan Reiterates He's Not Interested In Being SpeakerU.S. Rep. Paul Ryan does not want to be speaker of the House. The Wisconsin Republican on Thursday issued a statement saying he was disappointed in Rep. Kevin McCarthy's surprise decision to withdraw from the contest to replace Rep. John Boehner.

Opinion: Over The CliffAt midnight, not only did the ball drop in Times Square, ushering in a New Year, but Congress dropped the ball on delivering the country meaningful deficit reduction.
Back To Budgets, Ryan Returns To Comfortable TopicPaul Ryan is getting his groove back. A month after the GOP's presidential ticket lost an election, the party's vice presidential nominee finds himself comfortably back in his political wheelhouse on Capitol Hill.
Opinion: Mitt Romney's Parting GiftOn a conference call with donors Romney claimed that Obama won because he gave "gifts" to African Americans, Latinos and young voters.
Good Question: 'Reply All': Post-Election Edition No Air Force One for Mitt Romney, but he's probably not flying coach either. Still, Andy in Sartell and Matthew in Bloomington are among those who wondered: How quickly do Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan lose their secret service protection?
Ryan Loses VP But Wins Re-Election In Wis.Paul Ryan came up short in his vice presidential bid, but he's sure to remain a key leader of the Republican Party when he returns to Washington and the congressional seat he easily retained Tuesday night.

Match Report
We had some very bad luck. Almost hilariously bad.
Where to begin? At the beginning I suppose. We met our lovely support crew – Stacy and Joanna – in North London to pick up the rental cars, then hit the road. Morale was not exactly high. K was feeling sleep-deprived; Q was still feeling pleurisatical (note – the 'ical'), but Rowena and Andrew were chipper enough. At around 9pm we realised we were probably not going to make it in time for registration, and then we discovered that we (ok, Q – not that we are allocating blame here) had forgotten to save the number we'd been given to call to register remotely. Bad news.
In the end, we arrived (after getting lost in a not particularly attractive suburb of Leeds) at the registration point about 20 minutes after registration had closed. Some nice volunteers told us we'd be fine if we registered the next morning before setting off – which was going to have to be at about 6am. That left us a total of 6 hours of sleep – if all went to plan – to get in before race day.
All did not go to plan. We arrived at the hostel we had booked about half an hour after they had shut the registration desk. We only managed to get in the building because some small boy took pity on us. Intrepid Rowena then went from room to room, looking to see if there were any spare beds for us to crash in, getting shouted at by crotchety old women for intruding on their 'private rooms'. (And I, attempting not-so-intrepidly to do the same, managed to surprise a very naked man who was obviously in the middle of some nocturnal stretching/yoga routine; not pleasant.)
In the end, Rowena stealthily snuck into some family's 'private room' and spent the next five hours in an unmade, stinky bunk-bed (covered, bizarrely, in plastic bags), trying not to move lest the inhabitants of said room discover her intrusion. Joanna, Stacy and I crashed on the couches of what looked like a sitting room. It was horrible, and stuffy, and smelt like old cats…and at about 1.30 am, I got the keys to the car from Joanna, and retreated to the relative calm of the car.
And there I found Qudsi – fast asleep in the front seat, with the headlights on. I decided that I had to wake him up. If he ran down the battery, we wouldn't be making it to the start at all. What I hadn't quite realised was how terrifying it would be to have someone – wearing a headtorch – tapping gently on the glass window of your car at 2am…Q was not happy.
In the end, K and Rowena didn't sleep at all; Q probably managed about 4 hours, and our support crew something similar. Andrew had – sensibly – brought a tent, but was woken by the dawn chorus of Yorkshire birds at about 4.30am; and then again by me at 6am. (My chirpy 'Good morning Andrew! Have you registered us yet?' was met with 'Katherine, it's 6am; I haven't had my coffee; don't wind me up.')
We were a weensy bit late for registration; and a little bit later for our start time. But by around 7.10am, we had finally set off. (As we crossed the start line Q said 'maybe we should stop and have a talk about how we are going to do this'; the rest of the team thought that we would probably find the time for that chat at some point over the next 24 hours…)
We caught up with the rest of the trailtrekkers who had actually started on time about 15 minutes later. Then – fueled by sleep deprivation and a little delirious – we started overtaking them.
By the time we had arrived at the first water stop, we had settled into a rhythm and were moving quickly. We met our support crew coming into Checkpoint 1 (about 18km in), and were told that there would be a 'spot' kit check by mountain rescue on the way out. Now we had most of the 'essential items' with us (notwithstanding the fact that it is a bit ridiculous to be required to carry around a warm hat and gloves when it is 28 degrees out), but we didn't (exactly) have a whistle.
When asked, Rowena said that she had a 'whistle application' on her iphone…which was sort of true. Genius. Luckily, she wasn't asked to demonstrate the application, but this was mostly because another member of the mountain rescue team claimed that he had the application too…we made a quick exit from CP1, while they tried to get the other man's iphone to whistle…
The road out from CP1 was fairly rocky and mountainous – lots of scrambling over rocks, and steep ascents. Rowena channeled her inner mountain goat, and led the way. I struggled a bit bringing up the rear, coughing loudly and making unpleasant phlegmy sounds. We were met by a marshal at the top of one of the hills who told us that we were the second and third woman that he had seen. (He meant in the event; not in life, I think.) The support crew then left us to return to the car, and to purchase the essential lunch items that we had requested (bean salad; lots of bean salad).
The route from CP1 to CP 2 was long – about 15km; and hilly. This was the bit that took in Pen-y-Ghent – a nasty, nasty hill, that loomed in the distance, and made some trailtrekkers (me) very, very nervous.
Some kind organisers had, however, set up a rogue water stop – right before Pen-y-Ghent – dolling out hobnobs, crisps, and Gatorade to get us through to the next stop. As it turned out – the route took us up about 2/3rds of the peak, then veered left right before the steepest part of the ascent. Couldn't have been more grateful to the lovely organisers. Bless 'em.
Then it was mostly downhill into CP2. At this point Rowena started looking a little woozy – she was having stomach trouble, and had only been able to keep down about a thimblefull of water since the last checkpoint. By the time we met the lovely support crew (who had bought us 'party poppers' to serve as our whistles for the remainder of the course), she was unsteady on her feet and looking decidedly green.
We took her to the first aid tent for some anti-nausea pills, but they recommended instead that she drink the lucozade (according to Rowena, the discussion with the first aid lady went something like this: 'I'm feeling dehydrated and dizzy; have you got any anti-nausea pills?' First aid lady: 'No, sit down here.' Rowena: 'I don't want to sit down. I want some pills.' First aid lady: 'We can't do that; have some lucozade.' Rowena: 'Ew.' First aid lady: 'You have to. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you drink any water. It's completely useless. Have the lucozade.' ' At the time, it seemed slightly bizarre advice to give someone suffering from dehydration…but it did work. About 20 minutes out of CP2, Rowena had started feeling much better, and was cheerful enough to start bleating at the sheep again.
I don't remember much about the route from CP2 to WS3 – it was fairly uneventful, and we were keeping pace well. Andrew, we discovered, was an excellent pacer. He went the same speed, whether it was uphill, or downhill, all the way through the trek. (Unless we shouted at him to slow down; which we had to do sometimes.)
WS3 to WS4 was more memorable – that was the bit where I got bitten by a dog. Just what you want when you're 50km into a trek, with 50km to go.
My own fault, I suppose, for remarking – shortly before the nasty beast attacked – that maybe our luck had turned for the better. It was a sheepdog – we were on a road past a farm property…she eyed us warily, trotted along side us, circled back behind Andrew, then growled and made a running drive at my right ankle with her teeth. Not nice. But it did make me go a little faster. Perhaps she mistook me for a sheep, and was just trying to herd me?
I got the bite checked by the staff at WS4 (who were absolutely lovely, and seemed very excited to have their first 'incident' to deal with), and then we headed out towards CP3. We knew that we'd be getting into CP3 just before dark – the Oxfam staff offered a hot meal (for those who could eat it; Rowena was left with a tasty plate full of plain rice), and – after a short delay due to some navigational hiccups – we met the support crew, and changed into our 'night gear' – headtorches, waterproofs and the like.
We had done the section after CP3 in training; we knew that it started out flat, but that there was a very, very nasty hill in the middle. (Andrew – true to form – had brought a flask of whiskey with him; we had a ritual of rewarding ourselves with a swig for every checkpoint we made it to; we added in an extra motivational swig once we got to the bottom of said hill.)
About halfway up the hill, the rogue water stop people had returned; this time with more hobnobs and lucozade to help us along the way. We stopped, briefly, to top up our water bottles, then headed off and up. Nighttime navigation was made somewhat easier by the glow in the dark markers that had been left along the way; they were – for the most part – reliable, but there were some inexplicable gaps that left us wondering whether we had wandered off course. We hadn't. At the top of the hill, the track flattened out into an open plateau, then we started heading downhill into CP4. Morale had lifted again by this point – and we were entertaining (ok, mostly annoying) other trailtrekkers with our half-remembered versions of 90s soft-rock classics.
We met the – now very sleepy – support crew at CP4 at around midnight. Q sat down to tape up his blisters and discovered that he couldn't get up again. His knee had given out. Not good. (Knees being fairly important body parts in this sort of event.) We sent him off to the first aid tent, where they taped him up. He was now walking with a limp, but he was incredibly determined, and kept the pace through to the next section. (This might be an appropriate time to mention that Q had – about 40km in – started coughing up blood again; he didn't tell us this, however. Which is probably a good thing, because if he had, we wouldn't have let him continue.)
There was a big hill out of CP4, which had us traipsing through the moor, looking for markers in what was now complete darkness. The terrain was very unsteady, and Rowena had started to get dizzy again. We knew things were very bad when she tripped, and collapsed on some rocks. It didn't look good. The nausea had returned, and she wasn't able to keep any food or water down. (This didn't stop me from attempting to force feed her chocolate; sorry about that Rowena.)
We sat down for a bit, and planned our strategy for the next section. We just needed to get to the next Waterstop. It would be the last one, and we could decide then what to do. What we couldn't do was stop in the middle of the open moor – with no mobile phone reception; nothing Rowena could keep down, and no clear idea of where we were. So we headed off again, slowly, down through the longest section of the course, into the last Waterstop.
By the time we had arrived, spirits had revived, and everyone was feeling a little bit better. Health check: Andrew's knees were shot; I had a blister that had taken over my entire left heel; Qudsi was now doing a strange arm-swinging limp/hobble that looked a bit like the kind of dance move you'd see at a geriatric hoe down; Rowena had recovered, and would serve as Chief Pacer for the last – and extremely brutal – 10km.
Andrew and I knew, but hadn't told the others, that there was another large and nasty hill on the last section. We weren't sure whose idea it was to put it there, but it wasn't very nice. There was also quite a lot of uneven ground, which played havoc on Q's knee injury. About halfway up the hill, we met another team (who had passed us earlier in the route), and walked past them down into the last downhill section to the Finish.
We knew – I think – that we were going to make it when we saw the '5km to go' sign. From then on, it was a matter of looking anxiously for the next signs: '4km'; then '3km'; then, at '2km' we passed the caravan park/hotel we'd stayed in on our training run. (We had to persuade Andrew that no, he could not stop at the bar for a pint. Besides, it was 5am, and they wouldn't be open.)
At 1km, we saw a marshal who told us (confusingly) that we just had to 'follow the road round' and we'd be met by another marshal who'd tell us where to go. We almost got lost in the suburbs of Skipton, but finally saw a marshal who directed us onto yet another path – the last one! – towards the finish.
We were met by lots of cheering volunteers; given medals, photographed and told that we were the ninth – yes ninth – team to finish overall.
I think we ended up ranked 3rd for the mixed teams; and R and I placed 4 – 5 in what everyone kept referring to as the 'ladies' race'. Since when was this a race?
22 hours and 29 minutes.
Raiding the drugstore…
…or, rather, the 'Chemist', lest you get the wrong idea about our law-abiding trailrekker team.
Q and I wandered into our local neighbourhood Boots yesterday to stock up on supplies for the trek.
Here's what we bought:
- Painkillers x a million (for obvious reasons);
- Day Nurse Tablets x 12 (mmm, pseudoephedrin; in case K's current plague-y chest cough is a cold);
- Hayfever Tablets x 14 (in case K's plague (see above) is allergy-based);
- Compeed Stick x 1 (bizarre little stick that you rub all over your feet for the prevention of blisters; it works);
- Compeed Patches x 15 (little patches of synthetic skin; in case Compeed Stick doesn't work)
- Plasters (in case neither of the above works);
- Zinc Oxide Tape (for dodgy knee);
- Deep Heat (for shin pain, leg pain, and/or just for the pleasant tingling sensation);
- Vaseline x 1 tub (for reasons too unpleasant to mention).
Unsurprisingly, we got a few strange looks from nosy people whilst waiting in the queue.
The lady at the till, though, seemed unfazed when I asked her if it would be okay to take the hayfever tablets, the painkillers, and the day nurse tablets in combination, just in case. She said I'd be fine.
Well, that's what I like to hear.
Come on weather gods…
…please, please be nice.
Not a drop of rain on a training run; not one. Then, this.
But we live in hope.
Less than a week to go!
And things are looking…interesting.
Unfortunately, the one, healthy member of our team has been beset by a bizarre Victorian ailment, leaving him short of breath and coughing up all manner of nasties. (Apparently, it is not consumption, or TB; the doctors don't really know what it is, but my vote's on pleurisy.)
What to do?
We are (technically) allowed to start with 3 team members, but that doesn't leave us with much room to manoeuvre should another person need to drop out (if you get down to 2, you have to get another team to take responsibility for you, and get the 'adoption' approved by the race officials…sort of tricky to do between checkpoints at 3 in the morning).
But Q, being Q, thinks he should be okay to start, but that – realistically – he's not going to be able to manage the full 100km. The difficulty – for Q – will be knowing when it is sensible to drop out: no one feels particularly good going up and down mountains for hours on end. How to tell if it's the pleurisy or just the general exertion that's making you feel wretched?
In the end, we've settled on a – slightly ruthless – pacing strategy, which (we hope) will avoid us having to leave Q in the middle of nowhere, left to the mercies of the wild animals of the Dales…
Last Training Walk?
So the Trailtrekkers went on a little road trip last weekend. It involved waking up at 6am on a Saturday morning, and driving to 'The North' to see what the actual course had in store for us. This would be our first outing to the Yorkshire Dales, and our only chance to train on the trail (or parts of it) before the event.
One of the Trailtrekkers was still recovering from the flu; another had decided to take up smoking; and, most worryingly of all, another one of us hadn't been able to eat anything of substance in the past four days, and was subsisting on water and the occasional piece of banana. Not the most auspicious of circumstances to be attempting our most grueling and ambitious walk yet.
Our plan (such as it was) was to head out on the course in the early afternoon, and keep walking till darkness fell. (Qudsi was especially keen to try out his new – fluorescent green – headtorch.) Sadly, that was not to happen.
We set off around 2pm, having checked into our inn/caravan park, and (in Andrew's case) having downed a pint of lager 'because it's the weekend.' We decided to do an out-and-back walk – 19 km out, and 19km back – taking in the penultimate section of the course, as it was the bit we were most likely going to be doing at night.
This involved reading the directions on the instructions given by Oxfam in reverse order, but our Chief Navigator managed to ensure we didn't get lost. (This was a pretty remarkable feat, given that large parts of the walk take you through open moorland – which will be a challenge, to say the least, at night.)
About 12km in, we realised that all was not well with our Chief Mess Officer. She decided to soldier on through the next 10km or so, and then took the (entirely sensible) decision that – as she was turning a worrying shade of green – walking a further 4 hours in the dark was a bad thing to attempt when you hadn't been able to eat for four days. So we (somewhat heartlessly) left her in the pub at the Checkpoint stop, and carried on.
Some trailtrekkers had been promised whiskey upon return to our digs, so we finished the last section in surprisingly good time and, in the end, there was no need for headtorches. (It stays light till quite late in the Yorkshire Dales!)
Lessons learned from our last training walk:
1. It is a good idea to eat.
2. It is a bad idea to sit down for more than about 10 seconds if you want to be able to move again.
3. The Yorkshire Dales are really, really beautiful.
4. The Yorkshire Dales are really, really hilly. (And Dale-y.)
5. Under no circumstances should I be left in charge of navigation.
6. We should probably think of a better game to entertain ourselves whilst walking than 'how many kinds of cheese can you name?'
7. We have heard several stories of people starting trailtrekker; no stories yet about people actually managing to finish it.
8. People in the North are friendly. Scarily so.
9. We should probably go on another training walk.
Hills, Hills, Hills
Trailtrekker training walk no. 2 this weekend.
This time, Andrew was in charge of organising it. We were a little worried when we heard that the unique selling point of this walk was its proximity to the M25, but it turned out to go along a nice stretch of the North Downs, and to take in quite a few hills.
There was also a big tree.
It was steeper than our last jaunt, which made our downhill running attempts exhilarating. We haven't yet mastered the technique, but apparently, downhill trail running is a lot like skiing – 'crashing is part of the deal'.
It was even more challenging for Andrew, because he had to run while reading the directions on his i-phone. (Andrew has been promoted to Chief Navigator; Rowena, formerly Chief Navigator, has now been re-assigned to a new and exciting role as Chief Mess Officer. Rowena is a gluten-intolerant pescatarian, so we're hoping that putting her in charge of food for the duration of our 24 hours on the trail doesn't mean we have to survive on free-range organic soy loaf.)
This is a woodland cow (courtesy of Rowena's wildlife photography skills).
Oh, and Qudsi is now Chief Fundraiser – thanks to the generosity of his friends, he raised £198 pounds in one day. That leaves us with only £1800 to go! (Please, please sponsor us!)
Attendance: 3 out of 4
Weather: More sun!
Distance: Don't know – shortish; maybe only 15 km.
Time: Around 2.5 hours (not counting our lazy stroll down from Box Hill).
Wildlife: Deaf cat. (Very dangerous.) Woodland cattle.
Injuries: knee trouble; hay fever; tree-climbing grazes. All fairly minor.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
Origins Available: English, Swedish
Where did the Swedish Nordby family come from? What is the Swedish Nordby family crest and coat of arms? When did the Nordby family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Nordby family history?
Spelling variations of this family name include: Nord, Nordh, Noren, Norden, Norin, Nordin, Norell, Nordell, Norlin, Nordling, Norelius, Norberg, Nordberg, Norrby, Nordahl, Norqvist, Nordström and many more.
First found in various places throughout Sweden as the name is derived from the Old Norse word for north. The name was originally a topographic name adopted by someone who lived to the north of a main settlement. When surnames finally became mandatory in Sweden in the 19th century, Nordby, or one of the many compound names created from it were often adopted ornamentally, that is, the bearers did not necessarily have any association with the meaning of the name. These compound names used such suffixes as "dahl" (valley), "stedt" (homestead), "ström" (river), and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Nordby research. More information is included under the topic Early Nordby History in all our PDF Extended History products.
Another 39 words (3 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Nordby Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Alma Nordstrom, aged 35, who arrived at Ellis Island from Westervik, Sweden, in 1908; Alma Maria Nordstrom, aged 38, who arrived at Ellis Island from Sundbyberg, Sweden, in 1921.
The Nordby Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Nordby Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.
