Elwyn and his fellow workers are trying to find a great
slogan to sell this new product to the public. It is
Rookery Cove Aphrodisiac's new product. So Elwyn, the
senior ad man that does the campaigns of any new products,
needs to find a slogan that will sell this product, but
they don't have much to go on with the short message the
maker Kyler, the Dark Elf sent to Elwyn. So that leaves
Elwyn no choice but to go down to the Dark Elf and try to
pry more information out of him on this product. See,
Elwyn has had a crush on the Dark Elf and has dreamed and
fantasized about him about but never let on what or how he
felt. When he finally finds him, it is like a bomb went
off, passion hits both of them to where they have no
choice but to give in and touch each other until they
explode. But in the process, when Elwyn has high passion
he shoots light and of course the room they were in was
the room with the plants that help make the product. Since
Elwyn's luck isn't all that good when it comes to this
man, the light that comes from his body after his orgasm,
it kills them all. Plants that had taken Kyler weeks to
groom and grow. Kyler hits the roof and tells him he needs
to go back where he came from. But is that the last time
Elwyn will see the man of his dreams? The man he has grown
to love and need more than his next breath?
Kyler, the Dark Elf had come up with the new intoxicating
beverage that will make anyone's sex drive shoot off the
charts. When the ad king Elwyn comes to him to get more
information out about this new product, things get out of
hand; he loses his head and things go from there. When
Elwyn loses control and kills all the plants, Kyler tells
him he must leave, but inside he wanted him to stay. See
Kyler had been hurt so many times that he had just shut
himself off from the part of the world where light comes
from, he lives in the dark, where he is in control. But
when the chance comes, the Dark Elf takes it so he can see
this man that makes him feel alive again. Will he be able
to put aside the fear of letting someone else in? Or will
he keep living a lonely life where no one can hurt him?
Well, Wow, I couldn't put this book down, and I ran to see
if I had the others in this great series so that I could
read them also. I loved the way that Kira Stone writes; I
have been drawn to her books since the first one came out
at Changeling Press. She has a certain way of writing that
makes me feel part of this wonderful world and the story
she writes, and to me that shows what a fantastic author
she is. I can't wait for her next book to come out, I know
it will be as good if not even better.

A Multi-Author Series
Rookery Cove Aphrodisiacs' newest brew is ready for its introduction to the public. The intoxicating beverage is guaranteed to raise the libido of any creature, undead or alive. Kyler is convinced it'll be a smash among their non-human clientele, if only they can find a way to market the stuff that doesn't reveal the method of production that gives the liquid its sexual magic.
Elwyn has little doubt the potent aphrodisiac will do exactly as the Dark Elf claims. But, as the senior ad man for the company, he needs more to build a campaign on than the tired maxim of "Try it, you'll like it." Prying the details about its production out of the closed-mouth brewer has proven impossible. He must take drastic measures if he's to launch this product on time.
Kyler doesn't react well to the Incubus' surprise visit to his distillery on Rookery Cove Island, and an entire batch of Mash is ruined as a result. There's only one act that will pacify the Dark Elf's ire now, and Elwyn can't bring himself to do it. Can he?

this pose came out unintentionally, I was doing a completely different, but in the process has become possible to make it so and I found pretty cool, so I decided to continue ...she is fighting against a very strong enemy, who went so far as to rip your clothes hahahaha!!!! Who is the enemy? dont know, any suggestion? I leave the criterion of you! I hope you enjoy!
Very nice work on creating a dynamic pose. The use of perspective from below was done rather well too. The only things I can add is her hair could use a bit more work. Mainly the pig tales. The perspective was sort of lost there and they appear to be floating off the image. Example the one on the right, it is resting in front of her shoulder yet the illusion of it being behind it is above (the gold hair clip.)
Secondly is the busted shirt. What happened to the top? Be has a roughed up face, knee, ravaged shirt but no damage on her chest? lol.
Second is the balance of the shirt You have the bottom of it largely intact with no hint of the top of it. This kind creates and off balance.
Anyways though I'd give you what you requested. Nice work. Always nice to see this version nicely illustrated.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
7 out of 7 deviants thought this was fair.
The coloring and the perspective is good. Especially like the wrinkled torn shirt.
thanks guy! it's a old drawing, but i like him XD... I dont like to modify ready drawings . but something that bothers me a lot in this are the hair clips with wrong perspective... but, i like this drawing
Fantastic Work.

MSI use an Aptio Setup utility for their American Megatrends BIOS and it has a similar layout to most other motherboards.

Temperature and voltage monitoring are also available as is M-Flash for quick and simple BIOS updates from a USB drive.
The E350IA-E45 supports System Monitor so that we can keep track of the CPU/GPU and memory use within Windows and in addition to this MSI supply Norton Internet Security with the board.

Skip to comments."Alas, Brave New Babylon" new fiction by Matt Bracken
Posted on 08/26/2013 6:20:36 AM PDT by Travis McGee
click here to read article
Bump for later reading.
Have read two of your books so far and they are excellent.
Merry Christmas, Matt!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year back to you.
Thank you once again, Matt. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
And a very happy new year!
Seems a clever take from "Dies the Fire" by S. M. Sterling.
In that series, all modern technology quits by magic, and magic itself seems to make a comeback, with multiple gods.
In that series, it is liberals who survive,while conservatives die off because they will not "cooperate".
99%+ die off.
It is popular among liberals, I understand. I like your take better, because technology still works, it is just not being used.
Too hard for me to suspend disbelief, though. May you attract many of the readers of Sterling's series.
The plot has holes, and in reality i think the militia type action by some fed-up patriots as well as looting could be used to justify an increasingly militaristic police type, encouraging and using technology to keep tabs, while it would be incongruous not to have China expanding its territory possible to here, in the end, it is the same unredeemed fallen nature that takes its course.
And there won't be any soft landing with a 19th century level of tech. That tech is gone too. Our collapse will just keep on collapsing. The outcomes will resemble either Mad Max anarchy, or North Korean totalitarian govt rule.
You are correct, of course, if the power goes out and stays out for a considerable period, over the whole world.
I do not find that a likely situation, though it is not impossible.
Shortwave radio receivers are ubiquitous, and even transmitters are widely available that run on very small amounts of easily produced power.
We might not know exactly what happened, but power production and electronic communication are such enormous force multipliers that I find it unlikely that individuals and organizations all over the globe would not be vigorously working on getting systems up and running.
I dig the anarcho-punk fashion and the multicolored mohawks, so I am hoping for this scenario.
Excellent piece Matt. Unfortunately, even if the libs and statists read it, they will give it no mind.
Keep up the good fight and thanks.
New Bracken, a must read!
We save seed potatoes. However potatoes really do have seeds. They appear as if the plants had grown clusters of tiny green tomatoes. I don't know if they will grow true to the original plant, and I don't think the quality is as good.
Matt, just read this again after a lapse of a year.
Still a great read.
Yep, this may be how it ends.
M4L Bracken
bump for later
Not sure why no comments past October.
Allow me to say thanks for readdressing what all should be concerned with. Lots to consider and especially the need for a moral culture to preserve what little remains of life as it should be. Nevertheless, all should be about doing good as long as we have life within us.
A worthy read.
It reads like a prose version of Rudyard Kipling's masterpiece with which you are no doubt very familiar, the last lines of which I am pasting below;
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."
Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
Of course, Kipling published this almost a century before the current date, he apparently saw the seeds of the current harvest being planted. I knew of the poem for a long, long time before I ever even had any idea what was meant by copybook headings. Now I return to it regularly and marvel at the greatness of Rudyard Kipling.
He was indeed amazing.
Pournelle posted snippets of that repeatedly on his day book, typically along with a news item that supported the wisdom and prescience of the Gods of Copybook Headings.
reading this again on this leisurely day.... alas! Alas the self-destructive trends and thinking has continued since the August 2013 date on your writings
Thank you.
So excellent. Has left a shard of fear in the pit of my stomach. Didn't see this in 13, glad to be pointed to it now.
Thanks. I can see a vortex pulling us in that direction if the power goes out for more than a week.

plumbago replied to Cara in Boston's topic in Gluten-Free RestaurantsAs of November 2015, there are three completely gluten-free restaurants in Washington, DC, more depending upon how you count. The Little Beet is a new gluten-free restaurant. 18th and Connecticut Ave NW. Shophouse Kitchen has four locations around the city. It is Southeast Asian cooking. Rise is a gluten-free bakery in the northwest neighborhood of Adams Morgan. They sold soups and heartier fare when they opened in November 2014, but no longer do. I give this bakery a B. I haven't been to either the Little Beet or Shophouse, but am delighted we have these completely gluten-free options in DC. It's a good thing.
plumbago replied to Corrie's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsHello, Good catch. I've seen the Celiac genes written the way you wrote but I've also seen them referred to differently (HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1; or HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8), but I think the way I wrote it was wrong. I don't know enough about genetics to articulate what the difference is in the different way it's referred to, but as I like to say, it's worth more research. (Also, I am now not sure you have to test positive for both genes as I mentioned originally, I think it's just one.) Thanks for bringing that up. It's good to have accuracy in a thread. Plumbago
plumbago replied to plumbago's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsJust to clarify, I was originally writing about Rudi's. (Just so we're all on the same page.) But I must admit to being surprised that people are buying what I consider to be fairly standard, unspectacular gluten-free bread (Rudis, Udis for example) at such high prices - that Target price is nuts. Unless things have changed in the last week, the most I ever pay for Udis or Rudis is $6, and that's with tax. Looks like they added bamboo for the extra fiber? Are you referring to Rudis? If so, well then I guess it's bamboo. Is that bad? Plumbago
plumbago replied to Zalira's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsI completely skipped over the wheat allergy. For some people, it is a life-threatening event that is true. (I see she is not scheduled for endoscopy but rather colonoscopy and gastroscopy. Maybe the gastroscopy is what I would normally call an endoscopy. In any case, biopsies should be taken if testing for celiac disease.) Even if I had a wheat allergy, I'd still want to know if I had celiac disease, for sure. I've known people who tested positive for wheat allergy but eventually de-sensitized to it and resumed eating it. But yeah, get the allergy test for wheat.
plumbago replied to Zalira's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsYou certainly have celiac disease symptoms. Yes, you will have to eat gluten every day for 2 weeks before the endoscopy. The link you provided after that discusses the gluten challenge (serology), not how to eat before an endoscopy to check for celiac disease. [EDIT: Just re-read it. It does say to eat gluten 2 weeks prior to an endoscopy] The last sentence recommends moving right to an endoscopy if reaction to gluten is severe. If I were this person, I would consider insisting on bumping up the date of my endoscopy for health reasons. Otherwise, I would be interested in hearing from others - especially medical professionals working on autoimmune diseases such as celiac disease - on this, because my tendency is to think that 3-5 weeks out from an endoscopy, the small intestine would probably not heal in such a short amount of time if the patient is not eating gluten. It sounds like she has some quite serious immediate health issues. While I understand the need to continue consuming gluten before tests, I always thought that was before serology tests and perhaps for the endoscopy it is less crucial to be consuming gluten, again especially if there are some immediate health issues. It is worth more research, that is for sure. Plumbago
plumbago replied to kim01's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithPerhaps consider making the house gluten-free for simplicity. I was thinking this myself while reading the post.
plumbago replied to WinterSong's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)Manasota, I am curious to know more about your diagnosis. Were you diagnosed via a bone scan? Did you scrutinize and research your results? Have you thought about a second opinion? As for the first questioner, I don't know the answer, and would need to do at least a couple of hours of research to understand more about osteoporosis caused by celiac disease. It's a great question.
plumbago posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsI recently bought this bread for the first time: Rudis gluten free double fiber sandwich bread. I am posting a comment because it stood out from the rest of the gluten-free breads I've purchased in the past. I know there are a few boutique bakeries around the country (let's face it, mainly on the left and right coasts) that bake excellent gluten-free bread. But the day I start shelling out $10 plus for a loaf of bread is the day you know I've won the $26 million lottery. It just ain't gonna happen. But this Rudis bread stood out based not on taste - which was just regular - but on its texture. Honestly I didn't think it was possible to have chewy gluten-free bread. I'm not sure how they did it, but they did! Like most gluten-free breads, you can find it in the frozen food aisle. Not to re-open this can of worms, but like many other gluten-free breads, this particular kind does not fortify with iron or folate, sadly. To recap: taste - regular, normal, nothing special. Texture - very special! Plumbago
plumbago replied to plumbago's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsThanks everyone. I did call, but as it turns out "gluten free" was written in the tiniest print on there, which I had completely overlooked. Gelatin is an ingredient, and that was why I was concerned. Plumbago
plumbago replied to Corrie's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsThe link you provided is for steroidal treatment for refractory celiac disease. I thought the context of our discussion was steroid use for asthma and its possible effect on a Celiac panel. For refractory celiac disease, the treatment would be oral (systemic). Steroids for asthma and refractory celiac disease are not delivered by the same route, which can make a difference. One of the rationales for using inhaled corticosteroids is to minimize or even avoid systemic effects. The most commonly listed side effects of inhaled CS are: oral thrush; dysphonia; and hoarse voice. To minimize these effects patients are taught to rinse the mouth. Even better is to use a spacer - there's less chance of systemic infiltration. However, as discussed, it is possible a systemic reaction and side effects can occur. But in general if we are talking about steroid use, the route (as well as dosage and how long it's been used) does matter. Plumbago
plumbago replied to Corrie's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsGood link. Interesting that it didn't specify type of steroid use. Plumbago
plumbago replied to Corrie's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsThat's a good point. Though the patient is supposed to be on the lowest dose possible of inhaled steroids and although steroid use for asthma is technically a local medication, it's possible for a systemic reaction to occur and definitely worth checking out. Also the association between asthma and celiac disease is supposedly strong, and something you've no doubt thought of by now. Once all this is settled and if your child does end up on the gluten-free diet, it will be interesting to hear what happens with his asthma. And finally not to get too inside baseball, if you do end up going with a small intestine biopsy, it may be worth checking with the medical team to see what his immune status is, as I've read that immunocompromised individuals may need prophylactic antibiotics before invasive procedures. Plumbago
plumbago replied to Corrie's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsCorrie, Why not just get them to run a CBC, metabolic and lipid panels if your insurance covers it? If doing testing for Celiac, I can see that the other three panels are justified. Usually my doc runs those as standard anyway with my physical, ok I'm older but still. If you get all four panels run (including the Celiac one) you should be covered for things like calcium and iron, two other common deficiencies with celiac disease. The list for manifestations of celiac disease is long and does include things like low cholesterol. http://www.cureceliacdisease.org/archives/faq/what-common-nutrient-deficiencies-might-an-adult-experience-prior-to-diagnosis (That is a link to what to get tested for. Link says it's for adults) Running all those panels/labs just provides good clues as to what's going on, and gives you much more to work with IMO. The whole discussion about Fasano's criteria is maybe not something I want to wade into partly because I thought you said your son is symptom free. Also as you noted, there is of course silent Celiac and the whole concept of the Celiac iceberg, which Fasano has talked a lot about as well, if I recall correctly. The leg pain - one thing I was wondering about was B12 deficiency, but as you say it could be D. As you no doubt know, abrupt discontinuation of steroids can lead to adrenal insufficiency, but I've always read that regular use of inhaled steroids should not lead to growth insufficiency, but maybe the idea was to just encourage people to take them regularly, since preventing an asthma episode is easier than dealing with one once it's started. Cortisol breaks down muscle tissue and bruises and striae may develop. There are a host of other side effects, but docs have gotten much better at knowing the right dosage to take.* *Too much cortisol breaks down muscle tissue I should have said! I just found this link: "Inhaled corticosteroids may suppress growth in the first year of treatment in children with asthma, but lower doses may minimize the effects, according to findings of 2 systematic reviews published online July 17 in the Cochrane Library." http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/828516 I like medscape a lot. Good luck. Plumbago Added: Seems the fat soluble vitamins are important ones to get tested. Here's an article with a few comments on what vit and minerals to get tested for: http://www.celiac.com/articles/23985/1/What-Are-the-Most-Common-Vitamin-Deficiencies-in-Celiac-Disease-Patients/Page1.html
plumbago replied to Corrie's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsYour doc and nurse should be curious about that leg pain. I've read about associations between asthma (usually severe) and growth issues in children, but I don't know enough to say why this could be, other than any time a major organ is involved there are often growth issues, and then the steroid use, but inhaled corticosteroids are usually not a factor in growth, and after systemic corticosteroid use ends, growth resumes. Otherwise, as you say, both of your child's parents have short stature, so there may be zero cause for concern. I agree with the cyclinglady, that before diagnostic blood tests, you do want your child to be consuming gluten for sure. Otherwise, I have a very good book that says it may be possible to do an ultrasound of the small intestine wall. The book is Recognizing Celiac Disease: Signs, Symptoms, Associated Disorders and Complications by Celo J. Libonati with a foreward by David M. Capuzzi. If you are going to a nice Celiac center (lucky you! I hope you learn a lot) you may just ask them about the small intestine ultrasound. Please keep us informed, if you wish, of what happens. Plumbago
plumbago replied to Corrie's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsHello, You didn't say what age your child was. I understand your fears that the docs will just want to do the small intestine biopsy. That is probably true. However, if he hasn't grown in two years, is it possible that - if he has celiac disease - he's had it for a while now? Again, because we don't know the age, I can't tell the normal growth rate of children that age. There are ages when growth rate is slow (for everyone, on average). So it looks like he tested positive for one gene, but not both, right? According to a video I watched By Dr Hasan Hasan from 2011, it seems both must be present for a positive diagnosis ("the deamidated gliadin has high affinity to HLA2 and HL8 which you have to have if you have celiac disease"), but our knowledge is expanding or being corrected all the time. And I may be wrong. Please double check. As for the labs: Immunoglobulin A: 137. (Range 71-397) Transglutaminase IGA 8.0 (negative < 4.0, weak positive 4.0 - 10.0, strong positive >10) The first one. The reason this test is done is to see the total levels because some people are IGA deficient which can be cause for a false negative result. People with celiac disease suffer from low total levels more frequently than the general population. tTG-IgG (transglutaminase immunoglobulin A), the second one - this enzyme deamidates gliadin which is a broken down component of gluten. In reaction to the presence of TTG, the IGA is produced. Raised IGA indicates short term immune response - 2-4 weeks -to presence of d. My notes say that this is not a 100% specific, that there are other causes of a positive TTG IGA test such as diabetes, heart failure, Crohn's and others. Transglut AB IGG 3.6 ( negative < 6.0, weak positive 6.0 - 9.0, positive > 9.0) This test measures long term immune response to gluten (3-6 months sometimes up to a year preceding the test). Why this was negative if the TTG IGA was positive is not something I can explain easily or at all. The last two tests basically are looking for reaction to gliadin. Maybe you know all this. They didn't do EMA as you said, wihc is specific (>95% and >90% sensitive). According to my notes, "EMA antibodies correlate to degree of villous atropy." One thing you could do is call them back up and be firm and request the EMA. People are going to tell you different things. I myself don't have much experience dealing with children, but it's a critical time obviously. Off the top of my head, the only thing that occurred to me is if you don't want to do the biopsy, then you could just start now to eliminate gluten and see how that goes. There are many necessary vitamins and minerals added to bread products with gluten, so just be aware of all that if you do go gluten-free. Plumbago

The purpose of this thread is to provide answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about traveling in Vietnam I hope that this FAQ helps newcomers and others plan their trips to Vietnam. I would like to thank all the posters who have contributed information to this thread. To make searching easier for you, please find my index of some major topics as follows:
Visa for Vietnam => find posts #115, 117, 111
Ha Long bay tours/Cat Ba => #83, 84
Vietnam - China border…
This year at the end of October we're going to Vietnam for almost 3 weeks. First time, so we're pretty excited :-)
I'm trying to find the best route for our trip, we're focusing on the north. Hopefully you can help me to find the perfect trip!
So far, this is what i've come up with:
Day 1: Brussels - Hanoi
Day 2: Hanoi
Day 3: Hanoi
Day 4: Hanoi
Day 5: Hanoi - Sapa
Day 6: Sapa
Day 7: Sapa
Day 8: Bac Ha Market
Day 9: Sapa - Bai Tu Long Bay
Day 10: Bai Tu Long Bay - Cat Ba Island
Day 11: Cat Ba -…
Just a heads up and so you do not waste your time like I did but foreigners are no longer allowed to go to Nam Du Islands - you will be turned back at Rach Gia port
Vietnamese and Viet Kieu are allowed, so I am not sure why they are not allowing foreigners. My friend was there earlier this year and he said that there were about a half a dozen or so backpackers from various western countries there.
Safe travels!
Hi Everyone
In 2008 I was in Ninh Binh, took the standard tours including Tam Toc and enjoyed them, but at the time I was sold on a similar tour to Tam Toc that I have never forgotten and loved every minute of. I was told it was recently new then and highly recommended. We loved loved loved every minute.
We now only have days left in Vietnam and would love to go back to the area and do the tour again. Its very similar to Tam Toc,, you are rowed slowly through caves, via river systems and…
I am thinking about going to Vietnam in the end of September, for 2 weeks. After researching a bit I've found opposite informations about the weather at that time.
I would fly in to Hanoi and visit also, at least, Sapa region, Halong Bay and would also go to Hoi an.
With your experience is this a good time to visit these regions? I see that in the north is Ok but what about the coastline?
A friend of mine told me of Ta Xua yesterday and I felt so excited to check out this place after reading more about it from this blog http://fionatravelsfromasia.com/cloud-hunting-ta-xua-unique-experience-vietnam/
However, it looks like not many foreign travellers have been there. I'm not even sure if it's safe and easy to go there as a lone traveller. Has anyone heard of this place before?
Someone could recommend me some site for dinner at Chau Doc?
My name is Danny. Arrived here in HCMC for about a week now and my knee is killing me. Right before my trip from America my doctor prescribed me tramadol but it's not helping. Can somebody recommend a pharmacy that carries Vicodin? I've tried several here in tan binh district but they just gave me ibuprofen.
Hello.. I read in a blog that is possible go on boat fast from Chau Doc to Can Tho by the Mekong... Someone could tell me where hiring someone that makes this journey of form economic? Alone four people..Thanks
Hi all,
I am having trouble deciding what type of travel card to get (Australian) as most cards don't have exchange rates for Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Philippines etc.
Does any one know the best type of travel card to go with throughout SE Asia?
Any suggestion will help :)

Also repr: Sandy Nairne, State of the Art: Ideas & Images in the 1980s, 1987, p.106 (col., installation view, third from left, as 'work in progress' and dated 1985)
'Untitled (for Francis)' is a plaster mould of the artist's body, reinforced with fibreglass and encased in a skin made from sheets of soldered lead. The lead surface varies in colour from dark to light grey. The sculpture has been pierced in the breast, hands and feet by small apertures. The attitude of the eyeless figure, standing with head tilted back, feet apart and arms extended to display the palms of its hands, resembles that of a Christian saint receiving the stigmata, although it is 'wounded' in the breast, rather than, as tradition dictates, in the side. The artist said that T05044 is untitled to discourage too specific an iconographic reading. However, he explained that its subtitle refers to Giovanni Bellini's painting of St Francis of Assisi receiving the stigmata, 'St Francis in Ecstasy' (c.1479–85, repr. The Frick Collection: An Illustrated Catalogue: Volume II Paintings, New York 1968, p.205 in col.).
The human body has been the major subject of Antony Gormley's art. As early as 1973 he made plaster sculptures which were casts of sleeping bodies covered by sheets, for example, 'Sleeping Place', 1973, (repr. Antony Gormley, exh. cat., Salvatore Ala, New York 1984, fig.1).
Gormley has worked with many different materials, including lead, iron, wood, stone, clay and bread. He made the sculpture 'Bed', 1981, for example, by eating the volume of his body out of a block of sliced bread, leaving behind in two halves a life-sized negative impression of his recumbent form (repr. ibid., fig.8).
Gormley first used lead to wrap found objects, for example, the twenty-four objects that make up 'Natural Selection', 1981 (T 03681, repr. Tate Gallery Acquisitions 1982–4, 1986, pp.189–90). Since 1981 he has frequently used lead as a casing for moulds taken directly from his own body. The resulting hollow and, more recently, solid iron forms have presented the artist's body, standing, sitting, crouching, reclining, bending or curled into a foetal position. These figures have been exhibited singly, in pairs, and in groups.
'Untitled (for Francis)' is one of a group of seven standing figures made at around the same time, whose simple but hieratic poses exemplify the artist's concern for the elemental power of the human body (repr. Nairne 1987, p.106; as 'work in progress 1985'). Gormley told the compiler (31 August 1990) that he had originally considered making nine figures and presenting them together as one work but decided against this: 'I was thinking of those mosaics in Ravenna and the idea of a series of works that defined architectural space, through which you would walk. It didn't work because the figures hadn't been conceived [as such] from the beginning. In the end they were too disparate.' Reading from left to right, Gormley identified the works in the photograph in Nairne 1987 as:
'Bridge', a figure with arms by its sides and head tilted up (private collection, Los Angeles).
'Membrane', a figure with arms stretched upwards and out (unfinished).
'Untitled (for Francis)' (T05004).
'Standing Ground', the central figure with arms stretched out horizontally (private collection, Stockholm).
'Sound I', (private collection, USA). A second version, 'Sound II' is installed in Winchester Cathedral (repr. Antony Gormley, exh. cat., Tate Gallery Liverpool, 1994, p.59 in col.).
'Across the Air', a figure with arms raised, seen to the right of 'Sound', described by Gormley as complementing T 05004 (private collection, Belgium).
'Breath', a figure with hands raised (artist's collection).
In his sculptures Gormley often emphasises the principal apertures of the body, contrasted with the mute 'blind' surface of the lead. Gormley has said, 'I regard my body as the vehicle through which all my impressions of the world come, and equally I want to use my body as the vehicle through which anything that I have to communicate with the world can be carried' (Nairne 1987, p.104). In T05044 these concerns are demonstrated by the open, receptive pose of the figure and, more literally, by its hollowness, revealed through the five eye-shaped apertures which pierce it. These eye-like wounds suggest an openness to outside experience, as well as providing access to the centre of the work.
Gormley told the compiler that he had made only two works which were dedicated to named individuals. One was T05004 and the other was 'Desert for Walter', dedicated to the American land artist, Walter de Maria (b.1935). Gormley dedicated T05004 to St Francis because of the Saint's connection with the stigmata and as a 'good model for all sorts of reasons. I think it is to do with openness to all levels of being. I think you could conceive of St. Francis as being somebody who realised the interdependency of life and I think he is curiously contemporary in that way'.
The five eye-shaped 'stigmata' in T05004 were cut into the hands, feet and breast, in the position of the heart. This breast aperture has four slits extending from cardinal points around it. The artist told the compiler that he liked the fact that he had had to make a cross-shaped incision in the lead to create it. 'I could have welded those cuts together but I decided not to ... It was important to me that that the "eye" was at the heart [of the work] and that it identified the centre of being and I quite like the house shape, or pentagram, that is formed by the five holes.' He also commented on the redemptive significance of the 'wounds' in T05004. 'For me the work suggests that in order to be whole you have to be wounded.'
The artist told the compiler that T05044 was made at Chisenhale Studios in Bethnal Green, where he worked for two years. First a mould was made. This early part of the process has generally been a collaboration with the artist's wife, the painter Vicken Parsons. It involves wrapping Gormley's naked body in clingfilm and then covering it with two layers of plaster and scrim, on open-weave jute cloth. The artist commented to Roger Bevan ('Learning To See, an Interview with Antony Gormley', in Yehuda Safran and Roger Bevan, Antony Gormley: Learning To See, Paris and Salzburg 1993, p.35) that the wrapping process, while functional, had become ritualised and that he found it very therapeutic. 'It is a meditative experience and I suppose that I learned about the space within the body from meditation.' Once set, the plaster and scrim shell that had been built up around Gormley's body was cut open and reassembled. It was reinforced with two layers of polyester resin and fibreglass and twenty-four pieces of lead sheet were then hammered over the cast. He was assisted in making the work by Richard Glassborow, who made the fibreglass cast, and by Stephen Pippin. (Four stages in the casting of other similar figure sculptures are illustrated in Nairne 1987, p.105.) The lead used was code 4 standard roofing lead.
The sculpture is free-standing. In conversation with the compiler, the artist commented that the work should be exhibited isolated in a room or gallery, opposite the point of entry and top-lit with natural light. It should be shown without barriers.
It shouldn't be against a wall. The space that the work is installed in is part of the work ... It is very important that the work is placed axially in a space, so that you come to it frontally, so that the sense of being in the body of the viewer is registered by whatever that space is which is contained within the lead skin of the work.
Gormley went on to discuss the meaning of 'Untitled (for Francis)' in the context of his work as a whole:
I ought to premise all this by saying the thoughts that I might have about the work now may not be the same as the thoughts I had about the work [when it was made] ... on the whole you work completely blind but as you go on things that you made before begin to take on meanings ... You refer back to them in ways you wouldn't have known before because they start making connections ... [What] constantly needs to be asked is, why would somebody at this end of the twentieth century, in which the most exciting and most relevant breakthroughs in contemporary art have all been towards abstraction and a universalization of language through abstraction, return to the figure? I think my answer to that is that the body is also universal and what I return to is not the figure in its allegorical, metaphorical, dramatic, political, or emblematic sense, but to the body as the locus of being. That is universal and that is a point at which my existence can become both material and subject in the work. Why is existence itself a subject for art, when ... aesthetics have to do with other more qualitative kind of responses? There are two important reasons. Firstly is that I want to centralise my work within a wider understanding of what creativity is, or can be a catalyst for, and secondly I am concerned about the survival of the world and the human beings in it, both on a personal and on a universal level.
I felt at the time I made the sculpture [T05004] that you have to confront the world with the reality of living in a nuclear age, with a sense of the relationship between personal responsibility and global balance ... All of my work is trying to identify human space in space that can be used as a place of contemplation, as a sounding-board for notions of self. The work isn't simply an object in space, as sculpture in the nineteenth century was, a kind of point of aesthetic reference ... to be enjoyed as you might enjoy a beautiful fountain or a beautiful bowl of fruit.
There is an invitation, or a demand, that the sculpture makes of you; and this is very unfashionable in terms of the dogmas of self-referentiality in modernism or the multivalency of post-modernism, and yet this is very necessary for me, because I think of the work primarily in terms of my relationship with it. It is a questioning of my own being and I feel that I have to pass that on for the work to be authentic. That is why there are installation requirements. You are putting the viewer in the same position in relation to the work as your own. You are creating a field in which the viewer becomes an active participant and unless that is engineered with a degree of conscious control some of the potential in the work is going to be lost. With 'Untitled (for Francis)' ... the embrace of the work has to be sensed physically as well as being viewed visually and that is carried by the reality of the material. Lead has a very strong force-field, both in the way it works electromagnetically, on an atomic level, and the way that it works with light, the fact that the surface both absorbs and reflects light, like water. Then there is the piercing of that hermetic skin with these wounds, or these abstractions of wounds, that become eye holes that give onto the interior, so that the darkness within the case then becomes not only visible but an active force, that looks out. I had a feeling about wounding and wholeness and using the whole stance of the body, the whole feeling of that stance, which is both alert and relaxed, which is both assertive and receptive, which is both whole and wounded. It is an attempt to make whatever is real internally in terms of a state of mind and being, active on the surface, or embodied in a skin, or carried by a skin ... I'm trying to make a bridge between the value of individual experience and an idea of participation in a wider field socially, politically, spiritually.

It's Not Just About Foot Pain
You don't have to experience foot pain to be prescribed Stabilizers. In fact, imbalances may occur even if your feet feel fine. Before you know it, you're suffering from pain and fatigue in other areas of the body, often due to postural misalignment that results from imbalances in your feet.
What are Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers?
For our patients we perscribe Foot Levelers orthotics. They are not ordinary orthotics. In fact, they are named something different because they are something different.
Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers are shoe inserts that support all three arches in your feet thereby creating a stable foundation upon which to build proper body posture. Each is custom-made to stabilize your spine and pelvis by correcting the specific imbalances in your feet.
Stabilizers, Shoes, and Sandals custom made for you.
In addition to shoe inserts, Foot Levelers have custom shoes (Shoethotics) and sandals (Sandalthotics). All inserts, shoes and sandals are made to your individual needs based on a digital scan of your feet.
For more information about Foot Levelers products you can download this catalog or watch this video.
Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers have helped alleviate pain for millions of people. How? We believe the feet are the foundation of the body. Correcting imbalances in the feet can correct imbalances throughout the body
I can scan your feet for custom Shoethotics or Sandalthotics, as well as inserts on your next office visit. You can view the footlevelers website for the latest information.

You probably knew that Salt Peter cave was used in the movie Jesse James in 1938. But did you know there were 2 entrances to the cave. During the battle in Pea Ridge, Arkansas in the Civil War the cave was used for storing arms and gun powder.
Stories have been told that there were card games held there and the women folk would bring sandwiches for the men. High school students explored the cave.

Well, hello guys!
I'm having a lil strange problem, when publishing post.
I'm using qtranslate plugin and when I go in my publish post area, first it looks great, as it used to be. Take a look at screenshot.
But, when I press "Safe as Draft" or "Publish" buttons, everything "goes crazy" and everything is on 1 line. Take a look at this screenshot.
Because of this I can't publish my Youtube videos and etc, it displays just as plain text.
P.S. When I press on "Preview" button, it works, so, it means, that something wrong is with "post update function".
So, any ideas what would cause this?

Married life is certainly sweet for Kristin Cavallari, who shared a glimpse at her Italian honeymoon with freshly minted husband Jay Cutler.
The newlyweds pause for a seaside smooch, seemingly on their post-vows getaway, in a photo she posted Sunday, just weeks after she married the Chicago Bears quarterback in a Nashville ceremony. (She shared another snapshot, simply captioned "Honeymoon.")
And their trip seems just as picturesque as the wedding itself, which "was absolutely perfect," the former Laguna Beach star has said.
After making it official, "We were both just like, 'I can't believe we did it!" continued Cavallari, who has a 10-month-old son Camden with Cutler. "Especially Jay because he's never worn a ring before. It's going to take some getting used to."
Just had the most amazing 2 weeks in Italy! My jeans are tight so u know it was a success ha

Educational Adventurer Angela Riggs Presenting at the 2014 INA Annual Conference
Go on an Educational Adventure with Angela Riggs, International Nanny Association's newest Board Member, this summer to Science in the Sunshine State.
Riggs is currently employed by Sullivan University, where she has been teaching for nearly 14 years. As the Associate Dean of the Early Childhood Education Program, her focus has been on online studies, aligning Early Childhood Education program outcomes and assessments, and growing her business, Personalized Educational Adventures, LLC. Before joining the staff at Sullivan University, Riggs was employed by Jefferson County Public Schools as an elementary teacher.
Through Personalized Educational Adventures, Riggs utilizes her 22 years of educational and travel experience to offer one-on-one customized adventures for children and young adults, through hands-on, fun-filled learning.
Beginning March 1, children can experience "Science in the Sunshine State," a 7-day excursion in Florida with Riggs herself. The points of interest include Legoland, the Florida Aquarium, Dinosaur World, Busch Gardens and more. Riggs will travel to the home and set up an amber alert tracker, so parents will never have to worry. Airfare, hotel and admission is included in this extraordinarily packaged deal. During the journey, children will connect curiosity to knowledge, explore new places and concepts, build knowledge using hands-on activities and create irreplaceable memories for life.
One parent says, "I swear, he came back a different kid. He is more confident, a little more grown up, and not so reliant on others for the help he thought he needed before."
After the adventure, Riggs coaches parents on how to continue building knowledge beyond the classroom and expand the minds of their children. Book by March 1, 2014 to take advantage of travel dates ranging from March 1 - June 15, 2014. Prices start at 1,800 for travel and expenses, plus educator daily fees are reduced by 50% when booked before March 1.
To book Angela for a speaking engagement or reserve an adventure for your child, please call 502-445-3134 (tel:502-445-
Angela also invites people to visit her website at http://www.PEdAdventures.com and like her Facebook Page at http://www.facebook.com/

Consumer Confidence At Three-Year High; But Home Prices Weaken Further
The widely watched Consumer Confidence Index from the private Conference Board rose to 70.4 this month from 64.8 in January, the business research group just reported.
Lynn Franco, director of the board's Consumer Research Center, says in a statement that the index "is now at a three-year high (Feb. 2008, 76.4), due to growing optimism about the short-term future. Consumers' assessment of current business and labor market conditions has improved moderately, but still remains rather weak. Looking ahead, consumers are more positive about the economy and their income prospects, but feel somewhat mixed about employment conditions."
Since U.S. consumers purchase about 70 percent of all goods and services the economy produces, how they're feeling is a key barometer of how well the economy will be doing in coming months.
The morning's other economic news, though, may not make many consumers feel better in coming months. The S&P/Case-Shiller National Home Price Index fell 3.9 percent in fourth-quarter 2010. And home prices, S&P's David Blitzer says, are now close to "their 2009 troughs."

Hi Folks,
I've got an up to date network install of the WordPress.
I'm trying to set up a cron job (on my server) to call the wp-cron.php script so that scheduled backups (using backupbuddy if you're interested) occur overnight. I can't use wget or curl cos HTTP loopback requests are not allowed by my host.
Two questions (one minor, one major)
The minor one is: Do I have to use the Alternate Cron Method using
define('ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true); in wp-config.php in order for WordPress to succesfuly run scheduled jobs at all
The major one is: when I call wp-cron.php from the command line using:
/usr/bin/php5 /path/to/wp.cron.php
I get the following result:
Status: 302 Moved Temporarily
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.17
Location: http://www.hostingbydavid.co.uk/wp-signup.php?new=
Content-type: text/html
and http://dansgalaxy.co.uk/2010/11/15/wp-cron-and-multisite-headache/ recons it's something to do with WordPress needing wp-cron to be run on a site.
Does wp-cron.php really need to know the site?
The plugin schedules backups through the network admin - so I'm not even sure it has a site association
Any Clues?
