These pictures are the photos of the portrait, the quality is not excellent, it's a pity. The last one is the scan
Do you use the grid method or a light box for your original lines? it is amazing work! You are an inspiration!
Thanks ! No, just eyes, and a mirror to spot mistakes quickly and efficiently
Stunning work!
Which 2H-8B pencil did you use at first one?
The final result looks photographic to me - lovely work sir! Great to see the WIP build-up as well.
This is amazing!

Thanks a lot ! Yep, I use Photoshop (mainly the eraser)
so well done ,bravo !!
This is AMAZING!
Man, your attention to detail, technique for drawing hair, shading etc. are all unprecedented! I bow to you! Do you have a tutorial?
Thanks again ! No, I'm sorry but I haven't, my English is a little bit broken so it would be a real fight to write a tutorial x)
this is absolutely stunning the progress and the amount of time it must have took to manage all the details and highlights...
Seriously... WOW. Thanks for putting this up, it really motivates me to improve and draw more, and I love to see someone's own process of drawing something with this much detail. Amazing.
Wow, amazing ... its too good

Guidebooks for walkers, trekkers, mountaineers and cyclists
To celebrate the completion of the Lakeland Fellranger series, we have created a specially designed box-set, which includes a copy of all 8 guidebooks in the range.
Cicerone and Rohan have just launched a new range of leaflets which feature route extracts from Cicerone's Lakeland FELLRANGER guidebooks by Mark Richards. The idea is simple – pick up a walk leaflet, and all it costs you is a donation to help Fix the Fells.
Walked all the Wainwrights? Bagged all the Munros? How about finishing all the Fellrangers?
We've got a quick update for you regarding Mark Richards Lakeland Fellranger series. Mark has been busy writing and researching the Western Fells of the Lake District, and the next two volumes – The Western Fells and The North-Western Fells are due to be published in March and April next year.
Sometimes it's not all that easy to get busy people together in one place, but when the place is as special as a recently repaired footpath just above Crummock Water, then it's easy to see why this was the location for Cicerone 'officially' to present a cheque for nearly £600 towards the Fix the Fells Project!

A rich elderly woman is being conned by a fraudulent psychic. The psychic uses a unknown ritual to try to fool a true psychic that was hired to see if the fraud was for real. Of course, as you can guess, the fraud successfully conjures up a demon, and of course, a few of the guests die one by one.
I enjoyed the characters in this movie and the demon is a bit corny, but it's still a fun flick. The dialogue and acting is good. I've seen a lot of poorly made B movies, and this isn't one of them. The lighting, dialogue and character development make this an enjoyable movie.
I wish I knew whether the upcoming DVD was widescreen or not? This flick, if the transfer to DVD is good, would be a nice addition to my collection.

Year: 1994

Video of Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch Receiver with Drawbar - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4"
Videos are provided As a guide only. Refer To manufacturer
installation instructions And specs For complete information.
Today on our 2013 Volkswagen Jetta we'll be installing the Hidden Hitch, part number 60283. Now here's what our hitch looks like installed on our vehicle. Now we'll go ahead and give you a couple measurements in helping you choose some accessories for your hitch, such as a bicycle rack or cargo carrier. From the center of the hitch pinhole to the outermost edge of the bumper is approximately 4", and from the ground to the top of the opening in the receiver is approximately 10-3/4". Now let's go ahead and install our hitch. Now we've already gone ahead and removed all the contents of the trunk, the trunk covering, as well as the spare tire cover, as well as the spare tire itself. Now we're going to go ahead and go underneath the vehicle as we'll need to remove a piece of plastic fascia from underneath the passenger side of the vehicle.
To do this we'll go ahead and remove two Torx-head screws as well as two plastic hex nuts. We will not be reputting this piece of plastic fascia back up. You may, however, want to keep these as well as that hardware in case if you ever decide to remove your hitch you'll need to put this back up. Now we need to go ahead and lower the exhaust down out of the way. Before we begin we'll need to go ahead and put a safety strap on the exhaust to make sure it's supported once we remove the rubber isolator as well as two bolts that hold the rear bracket near the muffler. Now that our safety strap is in place we'll go ahead and remove two bolts at the rear bracket just above the muffler.
Now we'll go ahead and move up just in front of the rear axle area and we need to remove a rubber isolator here. To do this we'll use a little spray lubricant, and in this case we used a exhaust removal tool but a large pry bar will work just as well. Now that we've got the exhaust bracket down we need to bend these two tabs straight. Now because this particular vehicle has a fuel vapor canister on the passenger side we'll need to take the three bolts out that hold it in place and let it lower down out of the way until we put the hitch up. Once the hitch is up we will reinstall these so make sure you don't lose any of the hardware. Next let's go ahead and point out the hardware that will be used on the hitch and on the location on the hitch that the hardware will be used. On the long bar that comes up that will actually go through a whole in the trunk pan we'll be using a carriage bolt, a spacer block, a conical tooth washer, as well as a hex nut.
Now for the two rear holes on the driver side of the hitch we'll be using an M8 hex bolt as well as a 3/8 conical tooth washer on each one. For the passenger side there are two locations that the hitch will mount to the vehicle. The rearmost location, which will actually come out the side of the frame rail, will have a carriage bolt as well as a spacer block that is fish-wired into the frame, and then there will also be a spacer block that is slid on over the top of this bolt, followed by a conical tooth washer and hex nut. Now for the forward-most mounting location on the passenger side we will be using an M12 handle nut as well as an M12 hex bolt and 1/2" conical tooth washer. Now let's go ahead and point out the locations on the vehicle where this hardware will be installed. For the trunk mounting location on the driver side we'll actually need to go ahead and cut out the grommet that is already in place here.
To do this we'll just use a razor knife. With this removed we need to go ahead and make sure that before we put the hitch up we install some of the Loctite silicone gasket sealer. This gasket sealer is available at Etrailer, part number LT37467. You want to make sure that you put some of this gasket sealer on both the inside and the outside of the trunk pan to make sure you seal off any water or exhaust gasses that may enter the trunk area. Now for the passenger side we'll go ahead and use the fish wire and we'll fish-wire the 7/16 carriage bolt as well as the spacer block into place. Make sure you leave the fish wire on for now. Next we'll go ahead and tape the external spacer block into place. This will just help keep it in place for now until we put the hitch up. Now for the final location we need to measure out on the handle nut where we need to bend the tab at. To do this we'll hold the handle nut up to the mounting location, which is the center hole in this case, to where our access slot is. Where the access slot hole is is where we need to put a 90 degree bend in the handle nut. Now with some of the mounting hardware in place we're ready to go ahead and put our hitch up and put the rest of the hardware on. It's a good idea to get an extra set of hands to help you do this. We'll begin by feeding the fish wire through the side hole on the passenger side of the hitch. As we're raising it up we also need to go ahead and put up where the exhaust rear bracket is, we'll need to twist that around so that the hitch goes against the frame and the exhaust bracket goes over the top of the hitch. As you raise up the passenger side as well as the driver side you'll need to pull the fish wire through so it pulls the carriage bolt out of the frame through the spacer block that's taped to the outside of the frame and through the hitch. With this in place we'll go ahead and go over to the driver side where we'll install two M8 hex bolts with the 3/8 conical tooth washers, making sure that the teeth face the hitch. You may need to move the hitch around a little bit to get these two holes to line up. Also make sure that you put the exhaust bracket back up in line so that you go through the exhaust bracket, through the hitch, and into the weld nuts that are part of the frame. You are using the same weld nuts that you took the bracket down from earlier. Now we can go back over to the passenger side and we'll go ahead and put the bolt as well as the conical tooth washer that goes into the handle nut. With this in we can go ahead and take the fish wire off and put the conical tooth washer and the hex nut on this bolt as well. Now we're ready to go ahead and take the carriage bolt and the spacer block after the silicone gasket sealer is on and drop it down through the trunk pan, through the hitch, followed by putting a conical tooth washer as well as a hex nut on from the underside. Now that all the hardware is into place we'll go ahead and tighten things down and then torque them to the manufacturer's specification. With all the hardware torqued, now we can go ahead and put the fuel vapor canister bake up in place with the three bolts we removed earlier. Finally we can go ahead and put the rubber isolator on the exhaust that we removed, and then go ahead and take the safety strap off. With that, that will conclude the installation of our Hidden Hitch, part number 60283, on our 2013 Volkswagen Jetta. .

This is the second hitch I've bought from eTrailer, one for my wife's CRV and this one for my Jetta Sportwagon. No surprises, just a quality hitch delivered promptly by eTrailer. Installation process went just like the video explained. Thanks for the great service. 77750
The hitch has been working very well - it still looks like new and has performed flawlessly. I use it to pull the folding trailer that I purchased from eTrailer. My only wish is that the receiver receptacle was sized more closely to the size of the ball mount shaft. Presently, the shaft fits somewhat loosely and klunks frequently heard inside the car when the trailer is being pulled, especially when its empty. The loose fit is obvious when installing the ball mount shaft into the receiver. If you have any ideas about how to shim the loose fit, Id like to know.Ron C - 05/30/2014
There are a lot of anti-rattle devices on the market to remedy such a problem. There has to be a certain amount of slack in order to get the device in and out. It's not dangerous by any means, but it can be noisy and irritating. I've added a link to the anti-rattle devices we have. Make sure to look at the ones sized for your hitch.Patrick B - 6/4/2014

A friend had given me her old Thule bike rack after she'd bought a new one. Problem was it needed a hidden hitch and my VW Jetta didn't have one installed. Always been skittish about working on newer cars especially when I need it to work properly. Finally took the plunge and searched for a source. etrailer.com had the most resources for completing the job that I had a pretty good idea of how to install a hidden hitch even before I had ordered it. The online training videos were the key, and the reason why I ordered from your site. Granted the guys in the video made things look too easy, but I was able to install it without any problems in about 90 minutes. Couple things I did differently: I cut a slot in the plastic panel which had covered the fuel vapor absorber so I could reinstall it. Also drilled a hole in the plastic grommet in the spare tire wheel well so sealant was not as necessary as it would have been had the grommet been outright removed. Very happy with the result and look forward to a great bicycling season. 243526

So far so good, although the hitch arrived poking through the box and with some small scratches on the ball mount. Not etrailer's fault. Installation took longer than advertised, some of it my fault because I fed the block into the frame the wrong way...the block apparently has to go in oval hole first. The bolt would not protrude straight from the frame with the block inserted the other way. I had to back the bolt and block out of the hole in the frame (which must have taken 20 minutes) and re-insert. The video does show the correct orientation. After that, it went pretty smoothly, and the hitch looks great! The installation video was VERY helpful, way more information than the single-sheet installation instructions. We will mainly use this to mount a bike rack. 139538

Once mounted, this seems to be a very solid unit. It is well built out of heavy stock. The time estimate of 1 hour for install was quite a bit less than what it took for me to get the hitch mounted up. Watching the install video helped although it is for a slightly different model and the instruction sheet was not all that clear on the first few readings (it made sense once I was done). My hitch took close to 3 hours for the complete installation. The two bolt holes on exhaust hanger bracket needed to be enlarged in order to align with existing mount on the car and longer bolts were needed to initially draw that side up to a point where the bolts included with the hitch would thread into existing holes. 39225
by: Dave F01/14/2015
Installation was pretty much like the video on the web site. I did it alone, and if you can it would help to have an extra set of hand as the video states. The splash panel on the passenger side that was removed and not replaced in the video, I did replace after trimming a bit off the back. It is plastic so it was quite easy to cut, I think it is worth replacing. Now, I hope there is an instruction video for the wiring as good... 168905
by: Mike W.06/23/2013
The part went on with out a hitch.... Oops it was a hitch. Anyway I did not have any major problems. The two bolt holes for the mount at the exhaust hanger were a bit off, a little larger hole would have helped. I couldn't figure why it was recommended to leave off that plastic panel on the bottom right rear after the hitch was installed. The other brand of hitches suggested cutting out a chunk to fit around the hitch. I ended up cutting a slot about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long and it slipped right back in position and to me looks a lot better than the empty hole. The hitch works nice with my Thule Bike Rack. 85625

Received hitch and wiring kit in a timely fashion. Could not find a video on 2013Jetta to assist. Used another year and got way off track. Finally used enclosed paperwork and got the hitch installed. Now I've done it and got it figured out with very little help from instructive video or paperwork I'm sure a second unit would be easier. The wiring went somewhat okay. There was no method to secure the black lighting module and was asked to go to Wal Mart and try to find some two sided fabric when I called your Co. Which they didn't have. I ended up using some very thin two sided tape and trippling up on it. 71969
by: Sam04/03/2012
This is a review on the installation only. Have yet to drive test with a bike rack. As far as installation went - smoothly. I used a YouTube video to install which was much better than the instructions. Seeing is much easier than reading. As can be seen by my included photo - the hitch is very hidden and blends in well with my car. 36007
by: Dennis W.06/07/2011
Installed this on 2011 Jetta Sportwagen TDI. Installation was well documented (read the instructions). I did the prep of the parts and setup for the install (matching parts, fishing bolt, detaching exhaust) in about 45 minutes. Actual install, with a helper, took about 20 minutes. Unit seems well built and expect it to perform well. Reduces rear clearence about as little as possible. 16311
by: Paul B05/28/2011
Be sure to watch video of Jetta installation, before and during your installation. Directions alone are confusing. I bought longer bolts to snug in the hitch where the exhaust bracket is just to get it close enough to use the supplied bolts. Wiring from battery back also time consuming because most of Jetta SW underneath is covered. 15631
by: Joe W.10/12/2011
Amazing! I thought it was gonna be kinda difficult but actually very easy. I found an install video on YouTube and that help out so much because the directions seemed very vague. After watching the video it explained it all! Great product. Make sure you order the wiring harness. 25489
by: Andrew11/01/2011
Works fantastic. Installation did not took longer than expected. Like other have said WATCH THE VIDEO FIRST! But installation is very simple and etrailer sends you everything you need except sealant. Overall, very pleased and would order again if I ever needed another hitch. 26427
by: Greg01/24/2013
This is the second hitch I've purchased from etrailer among a couple other purchases (harnesses, balls, etc.) I don't even shop around any more...I'm confident they've got the best price, best service and quickest shipping out there. Look no further...buy it here. 64038
by: Pab08/16/2011
The install was not as simple as described I was glad I went to a professional to get it installed Etrailer was great to deal with the hitch arrived on time with great emails from etrailer Wonderful buying experience 21985
by: Jake03/10/2016
The trailer hitch met all my requirements. Dealership told me that there wasn't a hitch option for my Jetta Sportwagen... So I went to etrailer. Install wasn't too bad either. Maybe a few hours. 240449
by: Jim H04/30/2011

"Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of an established religion tends to make the clergy unresponsive to their own people, and leads to corruption within religion itself. Erecting the 'wall of separation between church and state,' therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society." ― Thomas Jefferson

How to Celebrate Kurt Cobain's Birthday
The legendary front man of Nirvana may or may not have ended his own life, but on every February 20th, we can choose to remember all of the great things about the genius musician, Kurt Cobain.

Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Listen to Nirvana albums. Kurt's band was Nirvana. Kurt's favorite Nirvana album was in Utero, their final studio album.
2Go against the grain. Kurt was a big believer in the punk ethos of non-conformity. Do what you can to defy authority or not be like everyone else.
3Wear some long underwear under your clothes, and some flannel over your clothes. It's cold in the northwest.
4Learn the lyrics to his songs. Some of his most popular songs are "Smells like teen spirit", "In Bloom", and "Come as you are".
5Learn some facts about him. Did you know that he died due to a bullet wound to his head? A suicide note was found and is available online, but some think that was murdered.
6Listen to the the Pixies, it was one of his favorite bands.
7Smash up some expensive equipment. Possessions only tie you down.
8Have fun! Kurt was a funny guy and full of cheer when the media wasn't meddling in his business.

- Rock out and have fun.
- Don't conform.
- Don't ruin expensive things or anything that doesn't belong to you just for the sake of being non-conformist.

 Does anyone have any suggestions or tips for a first time mold maker?

 My main concern is air bubbles trapped in my molds. Specifically on my companion cube model.
 Also what paints would be best for a plastic model?]]> HMPoweredMan 2013-04-02T17:06:48-00:00 Re: Molding and Casting http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=65473&th=13644#msg_65473 <![CDATA[

 I am not an expert but you can never be certain of the outcome unless you have a vacuum chamber to remove the bubbles.

 - mount your resin mold on a rigid board on foam rubber. Screw down a small 12 volt electric motor with an excentric weight on the shaft and power it up immediately after pouring. (small 1/4" or 6mm bolt with a cross hole drilled through it to fit the motor shaft. Tighten nut onto bolt/shart and superglue)
 - As Innovo suggests, vacuum your mold etc in a wooden box using a cheap 12v tyre pump inside the box with the hose comming out through a tight hole.
 - both the above.
 The wooden box will need sealing with varnish etc.

In that case you need to be careful in mixing and pouring it so as to avoid creating bubbles, experiment with pouring at different air temperatures and also vibrate/vacuum to draw any bubbles out. Air temperature might well be your problem - I haven't had that problem to any great extent but then I only work in warm surroundings.

 You can paint a thin layer of mould material over your pattern to ensure that all the nooks and crannies are filled before you pour the main body of the mould.]]> BillBedford 2013-04-06T00:18:06-00:00 Re: Molding and Casting http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=65599&th=13644#msg_65599 <![CDATA[Hi Bill, 35+ years of casting and I never thought of that - Duhh!

This is where you put the entire mold in a pressure chamber after it has been filled with resin. This then causes the entrapped air at atmospheric pressure to become highly compressed to the point of not being visible to the unaided eye.

You can use a chip brush that has been cut off about half way. If you apply the stuff thinly enough you will actually see any bubbles that form, and pop them with a fine tool or a skewer. Let that coating set up for a while before mixing and applying the rest of the material.

 This should work for both brushed-on glove molds, or poured molds. Hope this helps! I make glove molds from 3d printed parts and have never had a bubble with this method. (I recommend the glove mold technique over poured molds if your object is complex, or has a lot of undercuts.) It should work for urethane also.]]> SophieKahn 2013-04-22T20:04:39-00:00 Re: Molding and Casting http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=66752&th=13644#msg_66752 <![CDATA[ There's lots of good advice and help on the Casting List on YahooGroups: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/casting/]]> GWMT 2013-04-23T23:06:40-00:00

Fabrice Tourre, a senior vice president at Goldman Sachs, found himself in the middle of a mega media storm after the SEC charged the bank with fraud on April 16 and specifically named only one individual: Tourre. The young, self-perceived hotshot had been feeling pretty good about foreseeing the collapse of the subprime market, as an email reveals, but it didn't do much to save him. The same 2007 email also shows some hefty hubris: "The whole building is about to collapse anytime now... Only potential survivor, the fabulous Fab... standing in the middle of all these complex, highly leveraged, exotic trades he created without necessarily understanding all of the implications of those monstruosities!! (sic)"
Though it has since come to light that Tourre may have been something of a fall guy for others running the $2 billion Abacus deal at the center of the fraud, Fab's case is still pending. He and his hilariously overblown ego will forever be the first name remembered in association with the Goldman fiasco, which Goldman settled with the SEC in July for $550 million.

The telecom sector in Gujarat will get a boost of around 20,000 skilled employees by 2015 through 300 training centres to be set up by the state government. The Gujarat government signed an MoU with Telecom Sector Skill Council in July to establish skill development centres across the state for enhancing employability in 150 job roles that have been defined by the TSSC.
Currently, the TSSC is focussing on 11 priority job roles for training and certification on a pan-India basis, and it will start the first such initiative in Gujarat.
As of now 21 centres have been identified in the state and while most of them will be set up inside government ITIs, the new ones will be ready within 10 months. Four capsules have been identified with respect to roles in the industry, which will be provided here, said Maheshwar Sahu, Additional Chief Secretary, at Skill Development Seminar in Ahmedabad on Saturday.
The telecom sector in Gujarat has grown many folds in the last few years and we expect that with proper skill development programmes, Gujarat will be able to provide 25 per cent of job demands in the sector. We have identified two service training providers and expect to set up 300 skill centres by 2014-2015. Our main aim is to provide the skilled person a monthly income of around Rs 10,000 and ensure 90 per cent candidates who learn from these centres become self-employed or employable, he added.

These unique frames are so named because the illusion they create is that your artwork is "floating" within the frame instead of being covered by it — perfect for displaying a gallery wrap canvas where no staples are visible. The canvas easily attaches to the stretcher bars from the back side with screws.
Available in a variety of popular sizes to accommodate 3/4" (1.9 cm) deep or 7/8" (2.2 cm) deep canvases, the Blick Maple Floater Frame is made from genuine American maple hardwood. Every frame has a beautiful finish with a silky smooth feel.
Note — Frames are sized by the opening, not by the outside of the molding. To determine the size of frame to order, measure the outside of your artwork and order that size frame.
Frame Depth — The depth of a frame refers to the depth of the frame's rabbet (the cut-out area behind the frame's molding that holds your artwork in place). To find a frame that will accommodate your artwork, measure the depth of the artwork, including any matting or mounting materials, and order a frame with a depth that is, at a minimum, the same as that measured depth.
Open Back Frames — These frames are meant to be hung on the wall and are sold as just the frame face. They are not shipped with backing material, glazing material, or hanging hardware. The open back frames are commonly used for traditional profile stretched canvases.

Beatutiful frame
By Artist
from Somerset, Ky
I use the Maplewood for my contemporary oil paintings. It is very beautiful and unique. I agree with other customers that the back of the frame is too narrow. The screw hole positioned in the center of this narrow strip is too close to the edge of the painting and cannot be re-drilled without spiting the frame. It is VERY tricky to position the painting exactly right and you must angle the screw inward or you will not hit the canvas. The company could make the back 1/4" wider and move the hole over.
Just what I needed
By Ruth
from Washington, DC
Perfect for my small oil paintings, at a great price! The maplewood is a lovely finish. All I needed to attach the frames to the paintings were a few flat-head screws, an easy hardware store purchase. I only wish these frames came in more sizes!

Great looking frame --- but
By JOMO
from Ossipee, NH
I am an artist. I make my own frames. Then I decided to once again try pre-fab frames. This frame has a nice feel and finish. BUT the screw holes on the back side are, as other artists have pointed out over the past few years, way too close to the edge. AND there is not enough room to screw the frame into the canvas' support frame without damaging the artwork. It needs another 1/2 inch (minimum) added to the existing dimension. I can't believe nothing has been done about this. I re-drilled the holes with an angle. Then the screws did not sit flat. This was the only way I could install the canvas without ripping out its sides. The gallery representing my work barely accepted this painting with this problematic frame. My other home-made (and elegant) frames surrounding my other artworks were accepted without a problem.I am sure many artists would be happy to see this part of the frame design improved. Another thing, the price is too high to justify a frame with so little wood and with an additional dimension of poor design for attaching an artwork someone has put their heart and soul to create. Come on frame company, whoever you are, add a little more wood and knock the price down a little. After all it is not gilded nor is it an exotic wood. Give us something to cheer about. Meanwhile, I will make my own frames once again and teach others how to do the same.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Violence and the Cultural Logics of Pain: Representations of Sexuality in the Work of Nicholas Hlobo and Zanele Muholi
Makhubu, Nomusa M., Critical Arts
Nicholas Hlobo and Zanele Muholi have raised critical issues regarding sexual identity in patriarchal contexts since they premiered at the Michael Stevenson Gallery in 2005. Nicholas Hlobo, a sculptor and performance artist, and Zanele Muholi, a photographer and activist, explore different ways of representing sexuality--in particular, homosexuality. Hlobo investigates notions of masculinity and the practice of circumcision, while Muholi documents the existence of transgender and homosexuality in township spaces (her recent work expands to various other spaces). This article focuses on the roles that violence plays in the sexual politics represented in Hlobo and Muholi's work.
While numerous South African artists' work deals with these issues, the choice of these two practitioners in particular is based on their approaches to the ambivalence of violence (the infliction of pain) with regard to the black homosexual subject in conservative, as well as liberal, spaces. Although it can be argued that Hlobo's work deals mainly with black masculinity rather than homosexuality, his work is chiefly inferential to sexual dynamics between men and gender transformation. Central to the work of these two artists is the ambiguity of sexual identity. Hlobo and Muholi's visual imagery investigates the boundaries set by different social constructs. These set boundaries have also affected crimes against bisexual, transgender and homosexual individuals which are reaching alarming proportions. Hlobo questions the validity of structures that marginalise homosexual individuals through drawing attention to the ambivalence of certain statutes, while Muholi seeks to publicise the injustices asserted on homosexual individuals in order to demonstrate the weight of that crisis. Hlobo and Muholi not only bring these issues to light, but also highlight the dilemma inscribed in the social and political history of (South) Africa, with regard to collective and individual identities.
Keywords: hate crime, Nicholas Hlobo, pain, sexuality, violence, visibility, Zanele Muholi
Oftentimes, visual representations of sexuality carry a silent boldness that obscures compounded processes of violence. While performances of virility exhibit resistance, they also imply tacit vulnerabilities. Through the discussion of artworks such as Isisindo SamaDlozi (2006) by South African artist Nicholas Hlobo, as well as photographs from Zanele Muholi's Only Half the Picture (2006), this article seeks to chart mechanisms of violence intrinsic in performances of gender. Nicholas Hlobo, a sculptor, has exhibited both locally and internationally on themes involving ambiguities of sexuality as well as the intimate spaces that engender violence. In his work, he demonstrates the fallibility of gender constructions where femininity, masculinity and alternative genders are vulnerable to, and capable of, violence. The activist and photographer Zanele Muholi has been involved in a number of organisations fighting for gay and lesbian rights. She co-founded and works for the Forum and Empowerment of Women (FEW) and is actively involved with the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual and Intersex (LGBTI) community (Neidhardt 2006: 95). Her documentation of black lesbians and gays is directed at destabilising a culture of silences that systematically conceals susceptibility to targeted violence. Through this documentation, Muholi reveals that township lesbians and gays are vulnerable to hate crimes.
Rhapsodies of pain
The body is a primary site from which violence can be articulated. Hlobo's Isisindo SamaDlozi (2006) (Figure 1) is connotative of dismembered male genitals as well as suspended speed-ball punching bags. The phallic object in this installation is an insertion of five small plastic conduits and white cotton in a cylindrical rubber inner-tube. Within each conduit (except the tube that is in the centre), there is a red ribbon that suggests blood. …

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJuly 24, 2013Reviewer: Candy in OregonSo far, I love Roxylean! I was on a weight loss plateau, and Roxylean has helped me finally start losing weight again. (along with my sensible eating plan and regular work outs!) I have been using it for 6 days, and it has helped me lose 6 pounds so far. I had read many reviews on this product before starting it, and knew to expect some possible side effects. Some people have reported rapid heart beat, overly hot/flushed sensations, or breaking out in hives/rashes. Fortunately, I did not experienced any of those effects. I have made sure to eat a little food within 15 minutes of taking the dose each morning, and have subsequently done just fine. I start to feel the effects fairly soon after taking it, and it helps give me more energy during work outs. So far, I am giving Roxylean a thumbs up!
May 15, 2012Reviewer: A customer in FloridaIt's amazing! You feel it since the very first capsule! It is better than Animal cuts and Hydroxycut Hardcore X.
It Helps you to burn more fat. Period!
April 15, 2012Reviewer: leonel in New JerseyGreat product, after using roxylean for 8 weeks my six pack was showing. I showed before and after pictures to my friends and they couldn't believe it. One of my friends is using it now, he is loving it. The Niacin will make your skin flushed but I'm already used to it. I actually don't mind it because I at least know its working.

Base on my research and continue growth of at least 30%, this company could easily make over $2.00 EPS in 2010-2011. The CEO said that 30% growth will be attained over the next several years! I expect bull market for this company at least 5-7 years. Remember, the 4th quarter is the best of the year, thus this company can surprise many investors. This stock can be worth at least 60-80 dollars in the next two years. Want to know what other think about this company and projections. Like to hear both sides. I am invested in this company but bought around 22. So might be late to the party or still make some money! Very fast growing company!

The owner/host, Don, likes to say, "A Bed & Breakfast oughta have a good bed, and it oughta have a good breakfast." That is actually an incredible understatement for this refuge of peace and paradise for the 5 senses. Art by Don's Dad, Sue's gardens, and rustic sculpture are a feast for the eyes. Don's breakfasts are simply the best we've had: delicious, made of the moment and of the season...embellished with edible flower petals, no less.

As soon as we walked through the door and saw "The View,"we extended our stay and were so glad we did! Lant Hill Farm is a unique B&B in a truly beautiful, unspoiled landscape. If you are looking to get away from it all, this is the place to go. Don and Sue, the owners, are friendly but unobtrusive hosts who have created something really special. The breakfasts are great,too!
Selfishly, we'd rather keep this place a secret, but Lant Hill deserves recommendation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Azdales45 puppy collar needed ID collars for a litter of puppies. this product was perfect for what I wanted May 24, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by MissJackieMom Cute Soft nylon, bone shaped clasp. Adjustable and does not slip. May 8, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by Audhumla Fray and can be chewed through easily These were my choice based on looks after looking at dozens of collars on several sites and going to local stores. I needed to replace the cheap 3/8 inch collar and the leash my beagle puppy had been allowed to teeth on for 6 months until the handle finally was taken off. I was thrilled to see these cute items on Chewy, my new favorite site, to replace them, but so disappointed when the RedDingo collar edges frayed after a few days. I trimmed them off, but they continued to fray badly. I had the leash on when I was sitting talking to a friend at the park for about twenty minutes, and when I looked down the leash was almost chewed through, just hanging by threads, and about 20 inches had been frayed and had suddenly twisted in weird ways from being wet. What is this thing made of??? In any case, it was clearly a waste of money, since they didn't last even a week, when her cheap puppy items had lasted for 6 months of chewing. June 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kerry1972 Excellent collar - great color I purchased two small collars for my chi's. They arrived in a huge box, however, they were so great that I purchased another 2 for my older chi's and a medium for my Manchester Terrier. They look superb. I like the shocking pink color as it makes my girls look 'girly' The Manchester always get called a 'He' - not since she's been wearing this collar. I like that they have matching leashes, which are fully adjustable length wise and have a black handle. When they get dirty and worn I will definitely replace them like for like. May 31, 2013

Linkedin CEO Jeff Weiner on Conscious Leadership @ Wisdom 2.0
The next edition of Wisdom 2.0 starts this Friday. Tickets are sold out but I highly recommend the video content that will come out of it (livestreaming will be made available). It is great to see Silicon Valley pundits to finally feel comfortable thinking out loud about "soft skills" such as compassion. Next steps would be to integrate "how to be happy" and "how to build real relationships" classes or modules into the general high school curriculum.
Steve Jobs' 1st boss: Very few companies would hire Steve, even today
From Slashdot this morning:
The Mercury News reports that Nolan Bushnell, who ran video game pioneer Atari in the early 1970s, says he always saw something special in Steve Jobs, and that Atari's refusal to be corralled by the status quo was one of the reasons Jobs went to work there in 1974 as an unkempt, contemptuous 19-year-old. 'The truth is that very few companies would hire Steve, even today,' says Bushnell. 'Why? Because he was an outlier. To most potential employers, he'd just seem like a jerk in bad clothing.'
While at Atari, Bushnell broke the corporate mold, creating a template that is now common through much of Silicon Valley. He allowed employees to turn Atari's lobby into a cross between a video game arcade and the Amazon jungle. He started holding keg parties and hiring live bands to play for his employees after work. He encouraged workers to nap during their shifts, reasoning that a short rest would stimulate more creativity when they were awake. He also promised a summer sabbatical every seven years.
Bushnell's newly released book, Finding The Next Steve Jobs: How to Find, Hire, Keep and Nurture Creative Talent , serves as a primer on how to ensure a company doesn't turn into a mind-numbing bureaucracy that smothers existing employees and scares off rule-bending innovators such as Jobs. The basics: Make work fun; weed out the naysayers; celebrate failure, and then learn from it; allow employees to take short naps during the day; and don't shy away from hiring talented people just because they look sloppy or lack college credentials.
Bushnell is convinced that there are all sorts of creative and unconventional people out there working at companies today. The problem is that corporate managers don't recognize them. Or when they do, they push them to conform rather than create.
'Some of the best projects to ever come out of Atari or Chuck E. Cheese's were from high school dropouts, college dropouts,' says Bushnell, 'One guy had been in jail.'
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's investment arm, Vulcan Capital, expands his footprint into Silicon Valley
As Seattle ranked a few weeks ago into the Top 10 cities for Young Entrepreneurs and #2 in the Top 10 cities for Female Entrepreneurs, Paul Allen's investment arm, Vulcan Capital, is about to open an office in Palo Alto.
According to SiliconValley.com:
Allen, 60, co-founded the world's largest software company with Bill Gates in 1975, but left in 1983 after a bout with cancer. The riches he amassed through his large stake in the company, plus successful investments in sports and real estate, have made him the world's 53rd richest person, according to Forbes magazine.
A pioneer in the early development of PC software and Microsoft's technical leader for its first eight years, Allen has been a prolific tech investor since the mid 1980s, starting several companies and founding a tech incubator called Interval Research.
He has put money into hundreds of enterprises in the past 30 years, including large stakes in AOL, Ticketmaster, film studio DreamWorks SKG and cable firm Charter Communications . His record has been checkered, making money on AOL and DreamWorks SKG, but losing billions of dollars on the bankruptcy of Charter.
Newer tech investments include online real-estate agent Redfin, shopping adviser Decide.com and smartphone audio software maker Audience Inc.
The new office in Palo Alto Advertisement will focus on emerging Internet, software and technology companies, including middle and late-stage venture capital and pre-IPO deals, Paul Ghaffari, Vulcan Capital's chief investment officer, told Reuters.
"We are going to expand our footprint in broad tech investments, we'd like to get more resources, people on the ground there (Silicon Valley)," said Ghaffari. "We have a real appetite to put new ideas in the portfolio."
This morning update from Geekwire mentions Vulcan Capital named Abhishek Agrawal to lead the office:
Vulcan says in a news release: "Vulcan Capital's expansion into Silicon Valley reinforces its decades-long commitment to technology-related companies, which make up a significant portion of its investment portfolio. This new office will focus on making investments in the $10-million to $100-million range in internet and technology companies, including mid- to late- stage venture capital, growth equity, recaps, buyouts and strategic public market block investments. Vulcan Capital will have an office in downtown Palo Alto and is planning to hire a full team to work under Mr. Agrawal in upcoming months."

MC'ing for the Fledge Incubator conscious companies tonight
Fledge, the "conscious company" incubator, is hosting its Demo Day, and I was kindly asked to "MC" the festivities tonight.
Feel free to watch the live show here starting @ 6pm PT / 9pm ET (or 3am Paris time ;-P).
Seven exciting, impactful teams comprise the Summer 2012 cohort of "fledglings".
These companies have been refining their ideas and polishing their plans.

Presentations will be followed by dinner and drinks, networking, and an opportunity to meet the people at the fledglings, as well as the "conscious" community members of Seattle.
Pregnant Marissa Mayer becomes Yahoo's new CEO
These are 2 major news packed in one sentense, not only for the world of business but also for women in general...
So let us break it down...
1) Marissa Mayer quit Google to become Yahoo's next CEO and new hope, according to Uncrunched's Michael Arrington.
2) Yahoo's board knew she was pregnant when they hired her, as told by Mayer to Fortune.
Even though, it should be normal to have female CEOs managing companies, while staying feminine and balancing a family life, there are indeed not enough such business role models portrayed in the media, and this is unfortunately even more the case outside of the US.
The Atlantic reminds of a 1992 speech and concludes:
Yahoo, to its credit, has made a role model of Mayer. What will be really nice, though, is when someone like Mayer won't have to be a role model. What will be really, really fantastic is when someone like Mayer can be just a pregnant CEO -- rather than, you know, A Pregnant CEO.
Connected loneliness
As a prelude to her new book, Alone Together: Why We Expect More From Technology and Less From Each Other, psychologist Sherry Turkle is back at TED, where she spoke for the first time in 1996, to elighten us about the impact of technology on our relationships...
This is definitely a welcome piece! For the past few years, I have indeed advocated on the importance of paying closer attention to the 'social' technology we continuously produce and innovate upon. Ensuring the continuous development of our emotional intelligence is as important as feeding our hunger for higher IQ, now more than ever...
Instead of building tools that are supposed to be an extension of our humanity, we have instead become an extension of the technology itself and turned ourselves into APIs, unable to fully function without the cloud.
Crackberry behaviors have long been adopted outside of the professional arena, feeding the fear of having real non-controlled person-to-person conversations (gateway to intimacy, oulala!). We are already contemplating machine-based companionship for our elderly days...
How many people are telling you "I would rather text than talk"?
When Turkle asked people "What's wrong with having a conversation?", the answer was "I'll tell what's wrong with having a conversation! It takes place in real time, and you can't control what you're gonna say"...
"Texting, email, posting, all of these things let us present the self as we want to be".
"Human relationships are rich, and they're messy, and they're demanding. And we clean them up with technology... over time we seem to stop caring...".
I would love to hear your thoughts, especially from my friends building the next Facebook or the ones who cringe when I dare to pick up the phone to call them... ;-)
More seriously, is teaching the next generation how to be occasionally alone and disconnected from the cloud really the best way to deal with this technology-enhanced shift?
How a Futurist in 1952 envisioned our present
Following a tweet by Guy Kawazaki, I stumbled upon Lists of Note, a cool blog featuring lists & todos written by random celebrities such as Marylin Monroe or science fiction author Robert Heinlein.
Published in Galaxy magazine in February of 1952, below are Heinlein's predictions for the year 2000:
So let's have a few free-swinging predictions about the future. Some will be wrong - but cautious predictions are sure to be wrong.
1. Interplanetary travel is waiting at your front door -- C.O.D. It's yours when you pay for it.
2. Contraception and control of disease is revising relations between the sexes to an extent that will change our entire social and economic structure.
3. The most important military fact of this century is that there is no way to repel an attack from outer space.
4. It is utterly impossible that the United States will start a "preventive war." We will fight when attacked, either directly or in a territory we have guaranteed to defend.
5. In fifteen years the housing shortage will be solved by a "breakthrough" into new technologies which will make every house now standing as obsolete as privies.
6. We'll all be getting a little hungry by and by.
7. The cult of the phony in art will disappear. So-called "modern art" will be discussed only by psychiatrists.
8. Freud will be classed as a pre-scientific, intuitive pioneer and psychoanalysis will be replaced by a growing, changing "operational psychology" based on measurement and prediction.
9. Cancer, the common cold, and tooth decay will all be conquered; the revolutionary new problem in medical research will be to accomplish "regeneration," i.e., to enable a man to grow a new leg, rather than fit him with an artificial limb.
10. By the end of this century mankind will have explored this solar system, and the first ship intended to reach the nearest star will be a-building.
11. Your personal telephone will be small enough to carry in your handbag. Your house telephone will record messages, answer simple inquiries, and transmit vision.
12. Intelligent life will be found on Mars.
13. A thousand miles an hour at a cent a mile will be commonplace; short hauls will be made in evacuated subways at extreme speed.
14. A major objective of applied physics will be to control gravity.
15. We will not achieve a "World State" in the predictable future. Nevertheless, Communism will vanish from this planet.
16. Increasing mobility will disenfranchise a majority of the population. About 1990 a constitutional amendment will do away with state lines while retaining the semblance.
17. All aircraft will be controlled by a giant radar net run on a continent-wide basis by a multiple electronic "brain."
18. Fish and yeast will become our principal sources of proteins. Beef will be a luxury; lamb and mutton will disappear.
19. Mankind will not destroy itself, nor will "Civilization" be destroyed.
Here are things we won't get soon, if ever:
-- Travel through time
-- Travel faster than the speed of light
-- "Radio" transmission of matter.
-- Manlike robots with manlike reactions
-- Laboratory creation of life
-- Real understanding of what "thought" is and how it is related to matter.
-- Scientific proof of personal survival after death.
-- Nor a permanent end to war.
A couple of quotes to conclude these 60-year-old predictions:
- Political debaters could benefit from: "I never learned from a man who agreed with me."
- And a reminder for VCs, Angel investors, doctors and whoever contemplates a dead-end: "Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done."

Thank you Steve for everything, R.I.P.
Dear Steve Jobs,
Many thanks for your dedication, for your inspiring passion to do what you love, for bringing colors and beauty to the grey world of computing, for making products our grand-parents AND kids love showing off, for making products that connect people to each other, generation Y with generation, for being our muse.
I couldn't help shed a few tears over your death this evening. I know it sounds weird, given I didn't know you personally. But I practically grew up watching you and Bill Gates arguing and making up ;) After all, I'm one fo those who learned how to spell my name on an Apple keyboard before even knowing how to write it with a pen. Another reason I feel sick to my stomach is the realization that my opportunity of meeting you one day is forever gone. Completely vain I know, yet it is oddly frustrating and shakening... As you pointed out during your famous commencement address, life is indeed very short...
My dear Friends,
May Steve Jobs' spirited legacy inspire you for many years to come...
Boy! Life as a VC is so tough...

2 pieces of advice for hospitality entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurship advice can come from the most unexpected places... Have you noticed how it often occurs when you happen to be wandering around or on your day off?
After the intense launch of Ridehack, this labor day weekend was indeed welcome. And to make the most out of it, a trip to Upstate NY seemed the perfect way to find peace, quiet and nature.
A great Airbnb find led us to Rhinecliff, NY in a private and charming guest house surrounded by magnificant trees, still standing after Hurricane Irene's passage. Our hosts, a very friendly family, were grateful the water "only" destroyed their garden and covered everything up to the first floor of their house...
Yesterday was spent exploring the quaint town of Hudson, NY following the advice of a CouchSurfing friend. After walking around the main street and enjoying the beautiful architecture, we found our way into the welcoming Red Dot, a local bar/restaurant owned by Alana. It quickly surfaced that Alana had lived in the city, i.e. New York City, for more than twenty years (it turned out that all the people who spoke to us that day were ex-New Yorkers...).
After years spent in the city in the extrememely competitive world of Fashion, and having launched Versace Jeans Couture in the US, serendipity brought Alana a welcoming parachute and a nice piece of real estate in Hudson NY.
A trip in Mexico led her to Alberto's Continental, a restaurant in Merida, which had welcome anyone and anybody including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
The Lebanese owner, who obviously knew what he was talking about, gave Alana, then toying with the idea of opening a restaurant in that Hudson NY building, two pieces of advice. She was kind enough to pass these along:
Advice #1: Serve hamburgers
Advice #2: Treat the place like your own living room
If you can't do any of these, then forget about opening your own restaurant!
If you love New York City and are curious about Augmented Reality...

Niche dating sites for Geeks + Dating-related panels at SxSW
Keyboard romance, a new fragrance by...
I just came across an ad for Geek 2 Geek, a dating site for... geeks!
It reminded me of a site back in the days. Can anyone remember which one, wasn't it part of CNET or some equivalent?
Anyway, this definitely picked my curiosity and - while looking for the answer - I decided to research the space and find out which other sites are attempting to cater to the romantic needs of fellow geeks and nerds out there.
Here is a sample:
- Sweet on Geeks and their cool tagline: A Space Where Gray Matters
- Cupidtino - dedicated to the Apple/Mac lovers out there.
- Nerd Passions - run by Passions Network a cousin of Gaming Passions.
- Meet a Geek - made in Europe
- GamerDating - made for gamers by gamers
(Please note these are currently web-based only. So feel free to send me links for mobile and Facebook apps as well as International sites)
South by SouthWest: Where are the experts
Unfortunately, for those will also be in Austin this week for SxSW and were hoping to learn a thing or two about this fascinating industry, it appears there are only a couple of related panels:
Online Dating 2.0: All Mobile, All Location-Based (on March 13) featuring MeetMoi and Grindr's respective founders: Andrew Weinreich and Joel Simkhai
- Paying with Data: How Free Services Aren't Free (on March 13) featuring OKCupid's co-founder/CEO Sam Yagan (quick reminder: OKCupid was acquired by Match.com last month for 50 million dollars)
- and for singles, parents & consumer journalists: Naked Dating: Finding Love in 140 Characters or Less (on March 14).
(Again, comments & emails are welcome, should you know of any other panels/events worth mentioning.)
Geek matchmaking, a new eldorado?
Coming back to our main topic, anyone will agree that nerds and geeks are now part of the pop culture. Thanks to the democratization of Internet and mobile devices and of course the portrayal of nerdy heroes stamped by Hollywood, it has never been so cool to be a nerd.
Content publishers attracting a high volume audience of geeks and nerds may soon decide to seize the day and release their own branded dating platform following the footsteps of more traditional players.
Indeed, both The Guardian's soulmates.com and Condé Nast's trulymadlydating.com have jumped on the opportunity by partnering with The Dating Lab, a white-label company which makes it easy for any substantially important online community site to play at the dating table...
This potential "match made in heaven" for a Geek.com or IGN could very well help them also get a piece of the pie.
Indeed, TechCrunch and more recently the New York Times have reported on the growthof niche dating sites... But I will leave it up to Business Insider to show us the actual market potential with a lovely chart that would resemble to this one. By the way, how about a customized idateon.TechCrunch.com? ;-P
To conclude this piece, let me share with you some retro geeky bonus content:
as well as a Craigslist homage:
Why Geeks and Nerds Are Worth It...

I'm a very excited FTM, but I am also very budget conscious. What items would you definitely purchase new and what would you look for used? We have lots of great consignment options where I live, but I'm unsure about somethings. For instance, I'm a little uneasy about buying a used carseat even though I could save a bundle. Any BTDT moms want to weigh in?
ALSO...anything you thought you had to have that you really didn't use OR things you thought you wouldn't use but couldn't live without???
Thanks in advance!
