Two female Jewish filmmakers in their 20s tackle huge issues at the 11th annual L.A. Shorts Fest this weekend: Avital Levy wrestles big butts and plump booties in her 25-minute documentary, "Bootyful World," about pop culture's fascination with the tush. And Tamar Kagan takes on the intermarriage beast in "Good Luck in Her Eye," a 15-minute comedy about a girl who is terrified that if she marries a non-Jew, it will literally kill her parents. See these delightful shorts and other chosen ones today through Sept. 17 in Burbank.
Sat. and Sun., 3 p.m. $10. AMC Burbank Town Center 6, 770 N. First St., Burbank. (818) 562-1401. http://www.lashortsfest.com.
Herb Astrow made his acting debut as Stanley the waiter in Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" in 1958 at Brooklyn College. He hasn't acted since. Nevertheless, the spry 73-year-old has had a challenging and fascinating life that includes owning Yankee Doodles in Santa Monica and spending the past half-century developing his acting and writing abilities. The result is "Herbicide," a comical and poignant autobiographical show about the kid from Brooklyn who knew no fear.
7 p.m. $20. Santa Monica Playhouse, 1211 Fourth St., Santa Monica. (310) 394-9779 ext. 1. http://www.santamonicaplayhouse.com.
On the verge of blowing up on the international music scene, Jerusalem-based missFlag is already the biggest Israeli band on MySpace (or so they claim on their Web site). The five-member rock-pop-indie band is reminiscent of Coldplay, but are making waves in the U.S. for their own sweet, emotional sounds. Turn up your radio today at 9 a.m. as missFlag performs live at the KCRW studio on Nic Harcourt's "Morning Becomes Eclectic," then in the evening head to Hollywood to hear and see Ohad, Gil, Assa, Assaf and Shai at the Knitting Factory. All ages are welcome.
7:30 p.m. $8. Knitting Factory, 7021 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood. (323) 463-0204. http://www.missflag.com.
The evolution of an artist's work throughout his life is a fascinating journey to analyze, especially when the course is so varied. Peter Krasnow was born in Ukraine, studied art in Chicago and spent the majority of his life living in a self-built studio in Glendale, and he changed his style and medium often to reflect his changing surroundings, interests and tastes. "Two Icons of California Modernism" is a retrospective that traces Krasnow's work from dark city scenes to bright California landscapes, then from abstract carved wood sculptures to multicolored, geometric paintings inspired by his Jewish heritage.
Through Nov. 10. Tobey C. Moss Gallery, 7321 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles. (323) 933-5523. http://www.tobeycmossgallery.com.
After discovering the wreck of the Titanic, underwater archaeologist Robert Ballard moved on to explore a slightly more famous ship: Noah's Ark. His research of the Black Sea doesn't necessarily aim to prove the biblical story, but rather illuminate the historical events that may have inspired the widely circulated tale of a great flood. Let one of the world's most renowned explorers lead you through "The Black Sea: The Greatest Undersea Museum in the World," a breathtaking visual presentation of some of the Earth's best-preserved history.
7:30 p.m. $10-$18. Skirball Cultural Center, 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd., Los Angeles. (310) 440-4500. http://www.skirball.org.
Hear what forgiveness sounds like in Iraq, Iran, India, Indonesia and Burma at the meditative Yom Kippur concert, "Anenu," featuring Yuval Ron and a host of other talented Middle Eastern singers and performers.

"Morphy Auctions custom-tailored every aspect of the one-day sale of my lifelong collection of mechanical and still banks. The auction catalog was one of the finest ever produced, with high-quality photography and a beautiful layout. Morphy's marketing and PR specialists outdid themselves with continuous advertising and promotional highlights of the upcoming sale appearing in publications and on Web sites for almost a year prior to the sale. Morphy's certainly showed the clout they have with the media in publicizing the sale. Even CBS Television in New York and the regional NBC Television affiliate in Pennsylvania came to the gallery to videotape the collection!
"Selling my collection through Morphy Auctions was very positive overall. I have known Dan Morphy for 30 years and feel that he has put together a knowledgeable team that is committed to his charter to maximize customer satisfaction while representing the seller's items. Dan utilizes his significant mailing list along with his superior marketing skills to tap into potential buyers through outstanding catalogs, Internet Web pages and at least one month of preview time for each auction. This allows customers the chance to make an informed decision that enhances a long-term customer relationship. This relationship allows buyers to feel they received 'good value on items purchased' and retains them as a long-term customer. These customers' network and talk about their experiences, which helps newer collectors and potential collectors the opportunity to 'get their feet wet.' This leads to a 'happy seller' because they know that Morphy's will get the maximum value for their collection through competition for the individual items.
"I have had a great history and experience with Morphy Auctions, from recommending their auction house to consigning my own collections. In 2005 I agreed to help my good friend Gary Selmonsky sell his comic character toy and doll collection. I recommended Morphy Auctions because I felt they had the best venue for the sale of his high-quality collection. After contacting Dan Morphy, we met at Gary's house and carefully packed his entire collection. At that point Dan hired me to provide the catalog descriptions and help promote the sale. I have spent many hours working in the gallery with the Morphy staff on photographs, layout and cataloging. Their attention to detail and quality is second to none. It was a very successful two-part sale of a great collection, with a great catalog and fantastic auction results.
"Knowing and dealing with Morphy Auctions, and Dan Morphy personally, was a great experience. They run an honest and straightforward company. I was satisfied from the very beginning and plan on continuing my relationship with them well into the future. I would highly recommend their services to anyone interested in consignment."
"In the winter of 2005, my wife Jan and I reached a decision to part with our painted cast iron collection. This collection included approximately 600 pieces – 425 doorstops, 160 sets of bookends plus lawn sprinklers and other related items. We had put this group together over a 10-year period, buying both from dealers and at auction. We had acquired nice pieces and paid strong prices, especially in the late 1990s.
"I was the very first consignor with Morphy Auctions, and I can truthfully say that I picked the right auction house. They were very professional and took great care in handling my items. It was an overall pleasant experience. I would recommend them to anyone and would definitely consign with them again."
"My lifelong collection of literally thousands of items was very important to me. When it came time for me to sell it, I chose the Morphy team. I was not disappointed. They worked very hard preparing for the auctions, were very well organized, and got the best prices possible. Everyone at Morphy Auctions was very friendly and very professional."
"We deal with Morphy's because we know Dan is going to make our experience as pleasant as possible. There's never a problem that can't be fixed. We know when we put something really special in one of Dan Morphy's auctions, it will get the attention it deserves, and we have a high degree of confidence it will meet or exceed our expectations. And most importantly, he always honors his word."
"In the 20+ years I have dealt with auction companies, Morphy Auctions proved to be the best company I have ever dealt with. The company and personnel are very professional, and unlike other auction houses, Morphy's follows through with what they say they are going to do for you. This includes prompt consignor payout starting as early as a week following the sale."
"We couldn't have been happier with Morphy's. We were very pleased with the way our marbles were handled, described and presented during the auction. The quality of Morphy's was reflected in the auction results, and we were delighted beyond words with the staff and all of the people involved."
"After much soul searching and, ultimately, with some 'sage' advice from my good friend Tommy Sage, I decided to sell my collection. The devil is in the details, and in that area, Dan Morphy Auctions excels. Their attention to detail is what made the auction of my toys the success that it was. The catalog, i.e., the photography, layout and description, far exceeded my expectations and no doubt contributed immensely to the end result. The entire staff at Morphy's is truly exceptional in their knowledge and professionalism, and they deserve a great deal of credit for the success of Dan Morphy Auctions."

Texas governor 2010
The presidential race? That was soooo last Tuesday. Talk around Austin today is turning to the governor's race.
Rick Perry, who has been governor nearly forever, wants to make it longer and already has said that he would seek a third full-term to take him to 14 years in the office. (That would mean a first grader when he first got into the top office would be getting ready to graduate college by the end of his next term.)
So who else is there? Perennial almost-ran Kay Bailey Hutchison might be serious this time around. She is making all the right moves (again) and playing all the coy sound-bites (again). On Thursday, she told a crowd at the Center for Politics and Governance, part of UT's LBJ School, that she wouldn't speak about her gubernatorial aspirations except to say that it might be the best time to do it.
"If I did decide to step down to run for governor, Texas would be well positioned because John Cornyn will have had a full term," she said. "This is a better time to bring in someone new to build seniority when you've got someone who has it."
Also speaking at the symposium a little later in the day was a hypothetical opponent in the speculative future race: Houston Mayor Bill White.
He is the most popular mayor in the history of Houston and is winning elections with around 90 percent of the vote.
Asked if he would consider higher office — say governor, or US Senate if Hutchison steps down — he was surprisingly direct: "Most likely," he said.
He said improving education and higher education are key points of his focus and what Texas desperately needs to position itself in tomorrow's economy.
But about a future race: "I've just started to ask people what they think I should do," White said.

Phyllis Schlafly
Phyllis Schlafly (born on August 15, 1924, in St. Louis, Missouri) is a prominent author and conservative activist, and founder of the Eagle Forum. Phyllis Schlafly is often called the conservatives' "first lady".
She is especially noted as one of the leaders of opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment, and to feminism, in general.
She was married to John Fred Schlafly, Jr. for forty-four years until his death (1909–1993), and is the mother of six children: John, Bruce, Roger, Liza, Anne, and Conservapedia founder Andrew Schlafly.
Unlike most politicians and activists, Phyllis Schlafly has always had a good-natured wit in addressing difficult issues and adversity. For example, when Phyllis Schlafly received an honorary degree from Washington University, a fraction of the faculty and students protested the honor by wearing white armbands and/or turning their backs. When Mrs. Schlafly was asked for her comment about the protesters, she responded:[1]
|I'm not sure they're mature enough to graduate!
Phyllis Schlafly first came to American national attention with her book, A Choice, Not An Echo 1964. (One of the ten best-selling conservative books of all time; three million copies sold.)
She is also the author or editor of 20 books on subjects as varied as family and feminism (The Power of the Positive Woman), nuclear strategy (Strike From Space and Kissinger on the Couch), education (Child Abuse in the Classroom), child care (Who Will Rock the Cradle? and Stronger Families or Bigger Government?,), and a phonics book (Turbo Reader), on the Judiciary: The Supremacists. Her most recent book, Feminist Fantasies, is a collection of essays on feminism in the media, workplace, home, and the military. She is also contributor of Great American Conservative Women.
Quotes by others
Ann Coulter wrote:
- There is no more pristine example of the left's in-crowd snobbery than their treatment of conservative author and activist Phyllis Schlafly. (Slander, page 35)
Quote from Phyllis Schlafly book
"George Soros, one of the leading billionaire leftists — he has financed groups promoting abortion, atheism, same-sex marriage, and gargantuan government—bankrolled Sojourners with a $200,000 grant in 2004," wrote Marvin Olasky, the editor of World, an evangelical magazine, in 2010. "Since then Sojourners has received at least two more grants from Soros organizations. Sojourners revenues have more than tripled—from $1,601,171 in 2001–2002 to $5,283,650 in 2008–2009—as secular leftists have learned to use the religious left to elect Obama and others." ― Phyllis Schlafly, No Higher Power: Obama's War on Religious Freedom

This thread highlights the new parser features.
Textile extensions.
Code syntax highlighting.
Error reporting.
New tags.
New attributes.
You can use the following textile shortcuts when composing a post:
Phrase elements: This is regular text and _this is emphasized_ and *this is strong* and @this is inline code@. And you can do super^script^ and you can do sub~script~ as well as -deleting- text and +inserting+ text. Bulleted and numbered lists: * Item one. * Item two. # Number one. # Number two.
When you press preview, it looks like this:
Phrase elements:
This is regular text and this is emphasized and this is strong and this is inline code. And you can do superscript and you can do subscript as well as
deletingtext and text.
Bulleted and numbered lists:
Item one.
Item two.
Number one.
Number two.
The textile markup lives for only a brief moment before the pre-parser converts it to bbcode and places it in the textarea input box (the Textile markup is not stored in the database.):
Phrase elements: This is regular text and [i]this is emphasized[/i] and [b]this is strong[/b] and [tt]this is inline code[/tt]. And you can do super[sup]script[/sup] and you can do sub[sub]script[/sub] as well as [del]deleting[/del] text and [ins]inserting[/ins] text. Bulleted and numbered lists: [list] [*]Item one.[/*] [*]Item two.[/*] [/list] [list=1] [*]Number one.[/*] [*]Number two.[/*] [/list]
You can write a simple CODE tag with no attribute which looks like so:
[code]This is some simple code[/code]
You can add a title message to the code block by adding an attribute to the CODE tag like so:
[code=This is a code block title.]This is some code with a message attribute.[/code]
You can specify a computer language as the first word of the attribute (such as "php"), and the message will have color syntax highlighting applied like so:
<?php ...edited... // // Helper preg_replace_callback function for smilies processing. // function _do_smilies_callback($matches) { global $g; return $g['smilies'][$matches[0]]['html']; } // // Parse message text // function parse_message($text, $hide_smilies) { global $g, $pun_config, $pun_user; $g['in_signature'] = FALSE; // Disable images via the $bbcd['in_post'] flag if globally disabled. if ($pun_config['p_message_img_tag'] !== '1' || $pun_user['show_img'] !== '1') if (isset($g['bbcd']['img'])) $g['bbcd']['img']['in_post'] = FALSE; return parse_bbcode($text, $hide_smilies); } // // Parse signature text // function parse_signature($text) { global $g, $pun_config, $pun_user; $g['in_signature'] = TRUE; // Disable images via the $bbcd['in_sig'] flag if globally disabled. if ($pun_config['p_sig_img_tag'] !== '1' || $pun_user['show_img_sig'] !== '1') if (isset($g['bbcd']['img'])) $g['bbcd']['img']['in_sig'] = FALSE; return parse_bbcode($text); } ?>
The above PHP code is colorized using the open source "SyntaxHighlighter" Javascript scripts. There are quite a few syntaxes supported including: applescript, as3, bash, coldfusion, c, cpp, csharp, css, delphi, diff, erlang, groovy, java, javafx, js, jscript, perl, php, plain, powershell, python, ruby, sass, scala, sql, vb and 'xml'.
There is an additional dynamic syntax highlighting script for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (DynamicRegexHighlighter). This script provides mouseover effects which highlight nested grouping brackets. Here is the main regex from the new parser:
're_bbcode' => '% # re_bbcode Rev:20110202_1500 # First, match opening tag of syntax: "[TAGNAME (= ("\')ATTRIBUTE("\') )]"; \[ # Match opening bracket of outermost opening TAGNAME tag. (?>(b|code|color|colour|del|email|em|h|img|ins|i|list|\*|quote|sub|sup|s|tt|url|u|vimeo|youtube|err|dbug)\s*+) # $1: (?> # Atomically group remainder of opening tag. (?: # Optional attribute.

When attempting to post a message having BBCode syntax errors, a message preview is presented with the erroneous tags highlighted in red. Placing the mouse cursor over these red tags reveals helpful tooltip error messages. Here is an example which attempts to demonstrate every error recognized by the parser:
Error 1. [b=b has no attribute]This is bold[/b]
Error 2. [list=x]stuf inside a list[/list]
Error 3. [dbug]These require message in attribute[/dbug]
Error 4. [url=http://jmrware.com]link [url=http://jmrware.com]nested link text[/url] text[/url]

Error 7. [*]This ain't gonna happen.[/*]
Error 8a. [img]xyzcorp@gizko[/img]

And you CAN SET YOUR OWN ERROR MESSAGES!
These are all the tags currently recognized by FluxBB 1.4.3:
This is a plain quote with no attribute.
This is a quote with a "quote attribute" attribute.
This line has bold text.
This line has italic text.
This line has underlined text.
This line has strike text.
This line has
deleted text.
This line has .
This line has emphasized text.
This line has colored text.
This line has coloured text.
This line has http://jmrware.com a no-attribute URL.
This line has an attribute URL.
This line has firstname.lastname@example.com a no-attribute email.
This line has an attribute email.
Default bulleted list: no-attribute
Bulleted list: attribute='*'
Numeric list: attribute='1'
Alpha list: attribute='a'
This is code
Quote tags are now, by default, linkified back to the original. This behavior is controlled via the new: "Linkify QUOTE citation" parser option. When ON, a quoted post links back to the original like so:
This thread highlights the new parser features.
Textile extensions.
Code syntax highlighting.
Error reporting.
New tags.
New attributes.
The graphical display of images within quotes is controlled via new parser admin config option: "Display QUOTE images". When this option is off, then images within quotes are NOT show graphically, but rather as text hyperlinks to the original.
This is an image: {image} inside a quote.
The COLOR (and COLOUR) tags now allow specifying both the forground and background colors. To set both, specify the foreground color first followed by the background color second separated by a semi-colon like so: color=#000;#FFF or color=#FFCC00;green or color=white;purple or color=purple;white. Note also that the color value can be one of the recognized CSS color names (English): maroon, red, orange, yellow, olive, purple, fuchsia, white, lime, green, navy, blue, aqua, teal, black, silver, or gray.
The CODE tag allows an attribute which may contain a computer language specified as the first word. Syntax highlighting is applied for known languages.
#include <stdio.h> void main(void) { printf("Hello, world."); }
During pre-parsing, the remote image files of IMGs tags are checked. The remote image is queried to verfy that its Content-Type is "image" and its size is less than the parser option: "max_size". If the "valid_imgs" option is set to yes, then images with dimensions greater than the default are scaled down to fit within the default box.
TT - "Teletype" inline CODE tag. This line has [tt] - "Teletype" inline CODE where anything goes [i]even[/i] [b]tags[/b] (just like the [code] block code.{/code] tag).[/tt].
SUP - Super-script tag. This line has the SUP tag for superscript.
SUB - Sub-script tag. This line has the SUB tag for subscript.
ERR - Error tag. This is used to identify bad BBcode markup. The offending tags are wrapped in the ERR tags like so: [BADTAG]Bad tag markup[/BADTAG]
DBUG - Debug tag. This block tag provides a place to write debug information. For example:
This is some debug content.
Video: YOUTUBE & VIMEO - Embedded video player.
youtube: and vimeo: .
Basically, these and any other tags you would like to add (or remove) are available. Although most useful codes are already provided by default, adding a new one is as easy as editing the bbcd_source.php and adding a new member to the $bbcd global array. Tags can be removed by deleting or commenting them out from this file.
Lets say you want: "V" to represent html element "VAR" (i.e. The parser will convert: "[v]$variable[/v]", into: "<var>$variable</var>". Implementing this is easy. Edit: include/bbcd_source.php and add the following member to the $bbcd array.
'v' => array( 'html_name' => 'var' ),
Go to the Parser admin panel and click: "Reset". This re-compiles the source BBCode data file into the runtime cache file.
You're done. That's all there is to it.
But lets say you also want to be able to specify an optional attribute with this tag that is transformed into a tooltip (i.e. html TITLE atttribute message that appears when moused over). This involves writing format conversion strings (which use a simplified printf-like syntax). The %a_str% and %c_str% tokens are replaced with the actual attribute and contents of the tag. Here are the format strings we'll use for our enhanced var tag:
'v' => array( 'html_name' => 'var', 'handlers' => array( 'ATTRIB' => array( 'format' => '<var title="%a_str%">%c_str%</var>' ), 'NO_ATTRIB' => array( 'format' => '<var>%c_str%</var>' ) ) ),
The NO_ATTRIB handler is used when there is no attribute provided and the ATTRIB handler is used when an attribute is present. There are other properties that can be set when specifying a new tag. Read the $bbcd documentation for more.
The new parser provides enhanced tag attributes.
First, there are three ways the parser can deal with a tag's attributes:
Attribute is forbidden.
Attribute is optional.
Attribute is required.
These three cases are handled with the tag's ATTRIB and NO_ATTRIB handlers.
You can add a language as the first word of an attribute for the CODE tag.
You can add a "width=640 height=480" to an IMG tag's attribute. Or variations including: "w=640", "h=480" or "640x480".
You can add the originating post number to a QUOTE attribute and it will make the quote citation a link back to the original.

Skill Level Intermediate
What you're seeing me do now is, reintroduce the high-frequency detail that I keep talking about. And what I mean by that, it's just, it's the smallest amount of detail. You can almost call it noise, and if you look at this, there's a lot of movement, energy, and small elements happening and as a result, it's something that our eye typically will kind of focus in on. Now, I don't necessarily want to make the grass the subject of this, but we do need to instill a certain amount of detail in here to at least indicate grass, and there's that indicate word again.
So, I'll be doing a lot of detail now in the foreground, in front of the castle, and then in this background area. This is one of these areas where we have to ask ourselves, is this the actor or is this the stage? And this is definitely the stage, not an actor, so I am not going to put a lot of detail into this. But hopefully you're seeing throughout this that this is all just very indicating type strokes. There, it's really not delineating specific clouds, for example.
It's just providing a textural element that when we back out and look at this, because all the colors came from the original sky, they're going to be the right colors in the right place to help the eye connect the dots and see basically a sky, even though it's really just a bunch of scribbling at this point. Some of what we talked about, at the beginning, about not changing your strokes in the middle. This is a definite area, where, you know, I wouldn't want to start introducing a completely different kind of stroking technique.
So, however I started this, which is just kind of this back and forth diagonal. I don't want to all of a sudden, decide to do it the other direction or something. You want that consistency of stroke. Now, see how much that looks like the sky when we back out from it. It's pretty consistent with the original sky, because we were basically using those colors, so add just a little more detail to this. Add some interest just to the edge, the horizon line, so there's a little bit more of a obvious break.
And again, you can see I'm not even looking at the image anymore. I'm just guesstimating based on what I've already done here. All that prep work we did preparing the image now makes it fairly simple to paint. Because we are pretty much funneling those original colors through the brush. And as a result, I don't have to think about what color to paint in any one spot. I will, when I get onto my layer that I'm applying my own color. But at this point, it's just what is in the image is what's coming through the brush.
And I just realized when, and why I'm going back here, I think I do want just a little more detail. And here's another little trick. See, this is why I like the fan brush, particularly if you have the art pen. I can turn this on edge and without having to change brushes, I've now got a nice, thin line. And I use this brush so much that I typically don't even think about the fact that I'm moving it around in my hand to get from this wide brush, like I did now, to a thin brush like I'm painting with now, so it gives you a way to quickly get different sizes of brush without changing to a different brush.
OK, now here's this trick for adding detail that I use. I'm going to switch, and this is the first time we've actually gone to a different brush or even a library. I'm going to switch over to my airbrushes and I'm going to use the sorted version where they're organized according to type. I never change this, because I always want to make sure that my brushes are exactly the same each time, so I never save brushes. Unless I do something very specific that I would want back. What we're going to go to here is the variable opaque grainy airbrush here, so its opaque, and you'll see here how it works, and I'll do a little sample of it.
In fact, I might do this on a separate layer, that's another good technique. Whenever you're going to do something different here, you don't want to necessarily screw up what may be important information on this, I believe, yeah. See, this has all of the facade of the building. I may want that layer separate to adjust it, so I'm going to create another layer, and we're going to use our airbrush, and you can see the new airbrush. And I'll just do a little sample spray here with just a obviously wrong color so we can see it. See what it's doing, it's spraying out, and I'm going to use that to indicate fine detail, like leaves, for example, and there's a couple things we can do here.
One of the things I'll do is, I'll use my Wacom shortcut to grab a color here. And I'm going to test this out, and I'm probably going to want to adjust these colors up a little bit. Also, I notice I have Texture on, and I do want Texture off for this. Now it's going to be way too much. Yeah, see how that's too much. So I'm going to undo that, and if we go to the brush controls, we can go to the brush tip shape and I can play with this. For example, we can see how large the spatter size is.
I want to reduce this down so it's going to be smaller, more like that. I can also adjust how much is spattering out, by, if I widen the spacing. See how I'm getting less, I want to have pretty close control over this, so let's try that, there. See now, I'm getting the illusion of a lot more detail without actually painting every single leaf on that tree. And I'll probably play with my hue here, to just be able to introduce multiple colors.
And once again at this point, I'm not even paying attention to the real colors anymore, I'm utilizing, and you want to be spare with these brighter colors, don't want to get them too much. But, the idea here is we're just going to put some detail in here, so it's going to give a sense of more detail than really is there. That's the whole thing, it's all of what indication is about. Put some autumn-like colors in, a little darker, little more red.
And so you can see, it's just kind of a matter of going around and kind of playing with the colors that are in there, but just probably a little bit brighter. Now see how that, if I turn that on and off, see what a difference that makes? It looks so much more detailed. And it's really just that spatter, is all it is. And yet, it's not over-attracting attention, it's still mostly delegated as a stage element, not a actor element.
Let me do just a little bit in the field here as well. Now for this I'm going to actually grab that color and probably just juice it up a little bit with saturation. See you don't really even hardly, let's just test it. Yeah, see it's there, but it maybe needs to be a little a little brighter. Not much. And I'm not going to worry too much about hitting the building because I can erase that. Basically what the airbrush is doing here is, it's introducing noise. We're bring high frequency noise back in to the image.
But it's, it's all artist-added, not photographically-added. So, while it gives the illusion of density like you would see in a photograph, it's not created by photographic means, it's created by artistic means in this case. So over there, I am on one layer. And here I am on this other layer. But look at the difference, in general, you do get much more detail going on. One thing I noticed when I painted in using the cloner brush, this railing, particularly over here, just didn't quite grab the dark color that I wanted.
So, I'm going to hand-paint that in, then I'll just do that in one of these top layers here. And so we're going to switch back now to our artist brushes. And get the flat fan, make it very small, and for this I'm going to get real close. And I'm going to grab that color right there. Let's check over here, same thing. Now, here's where I started talking about highlights.
Putting in highlights are going to make this seem not just like black lines, but actual metal objects, so I'm going to really reduce my brush size down here. And I'm looking up here. I just want to see how small. I probably don't want to go all the way to one, but a two brush is probably good enough, and let's just, oh and I'm going to turn on Texture again, because that helps me to, pressure works a little bit better when texture is on. I can, there we go.
But see how, just these little highlights on here, you got to keep in mind where the sun is coming from. Want this to be pretty consistently vertical. Yeah, we might as well do it here, right now. And if it's not perfect, I call these happy accidents. I mean, if it doesn't go exactly the way you wanted it, that's part of the magic of hand-applied strokes, they're not perfect, and I'm not going to get obsessive about perfect placement, perfect straight lines.
That's what makes it look hand-done. And in fact, if you've watched this whole thing, it is hand-done. The whole image is hand-done. Yes, I'm using a photo as a guide, but I'm certainly not totally a slave to it. I need to fix these little spires at the very top, and add them. So, I'll probably use the detail layer and a cloner brush to do that. And why isn't that showing? Because we already used that area to paint the sky, I really don't have access anymore.
It's been painted over so the pixels on this layer are the sky layer, and so what I'll do in that case is create another layer group here. Let's close this, it's confusing. OK, so I'm going to create cloning layer group and I want it to happen above this. OK, so now I can go in here with my brush and pick this up. And this is a good example of where you do want to have access to additional cloning layers, because even though I'm going to use it in just one little spot here, it gives me the ability to do this where I had already kind of used that up for the sky.
Though right now it's above the reference layer, so I'm going to just slide this down here. What we can do is we don't need this open right now. Just put it in the top of the detail strokes. Actually I'm going to drop it down so it's below this one little painted detail layer here, right here, and I'm going to use this to do a little painting on these. I might want to add a highlight or two.
And some of my jumping around here may throw you off, like how do I know which one's which. You get used to this, and I should be more cognizant of naming these, but as I get going, the worst thing you have to do is turn it on and off and see, you know, what layer it is. What's on that layer. But not necessarily something you have to do all the time. So I'm just going to start throwing a little highlights on here, not that they'd actually be white, but again, we're going for contrast at this point so whether or not these are truly correct colors is less important, just little bits and pieces like that.
Now, you can see here that I am basically painting in the stained glass work that's in this door. And rather than painting the iron or the metal that holds the stained glass in, I'm painting the stained glass, so it's going to help emphasize it. Now, here's a little trick I'm going to use. Typically, the glass reflection isn't going to be exactly the same shade all the way through, it's going to have some variation through it.
So I'm taking a secondary color here, I make this, switch this to HSB. Just to give a feel of changing light on a reflective surface. Now, you can see as I am going through here that I'm highlighting the left side of each of these bits of stone. You don't have to follow slavishly every single brick in the building, but I do want to emphasize it enough so that it is a detail that can be read.
You also have to remember that we do have some shadowing happening across this building, so it isn't consistently lit everywhere. And so you got to kind of make a judgment call about when and where you want to employ this. Basically keeping track of the sun angle being definitely from the left side. And just wherever I see an element that would probably catch a highlight, and even if it doesn't necessarily catch a highlight, every one of these we add, especially if we stay to the left side, is going to help provide a sense of lighting from the left, and I'll probably go back and do the same thing, only emphasizing the shadow side as well.
So this is actually a two part operation as you can imagine, it's going to take a little bit of time for this to happen. And while the little girl is a subject, in this case I don't want to add too much to her, because it's kind of like, is she there, is she not there? And in a way, I don't want this to necessarily be the first thing a viewer's going to look at. I want them to look at this for a while and eventually at some point go, oh, there's a little girl in there. It's not necessarily something that you're going to see immediately.
Now just looking over at that ball seems it doesn't have enough shadow on it. So I'm going to add one. I'm just going to grab this darker color here, and to do this so that I don't over do it, I'm going to go to my texture and turn this down so I can't get too dark, or I can't go all the way into the grain. There we go, just enough so it kind of gives a sense of shadowing.
Maybe a little bit more right at the edge. Now, one thing that's popping out a little bit much is this building up here. I want it to be there, but that's, it's a distraction. If you notice, your eyes probably, even when you're looking at the building, it kind of goes over here, because that's such a contrast. So, let's go in and darken that a little bit. See what color it is to begin with, and just tone it down. There, now it's not nearly as obtrusive.
Well, that looks pretty good to me. I'm going to go ahead and say this is basically done, but we're also going to take a look at a few aspects of things you'd want to do even after you think it's done. So we'll talk about it in the next movie.

The state's former point man on coastal restoration announced Wednesday that he's entering the race to represent Louisiana's 6th Congressional District in Washington, D.C.
Garret Graves, of Baton Rouge, stepped down as chairman of the state's Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority and director of the Governor's Office of Coastal Activities last week after six years, some of them spent butting heads with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers over levee repairs in New Orleans.
Graves said his decision to run for Congress came out of his frustration over persistent gridlock in the nation's capital.
"This is one of those situations where you're yelling at your TV about how dysfunctional it is in Washington, because you finally just say that you've had enough and you actually want to do something about it," he said. "My greatest motivator is frustration."
He added that partisan bickering has become the norm in Congress, while the country is operating under a trade deficit and other nations have started to surpass the U.S. in terms of educational outcomes.
Graves declined to discuss his campaign platform with more than eight months left until this fall's election, but he said one of his main focuses, if elected, would be improving government efficiency.
Graves said he's got a proven track record of streamlining government from his time at the CPRA, where he cut out repetitive studies, unnecessary spending, and red tape. He said the agency also became more efficient under his watch — protecting more properties than before, "without expanding government and without raising taxes," he said.
"I understand the federal government is a huge, huge organization, but there is so much inefficiency and nobody is doing anything about," he said. "It's infuriating."
Graves previously worked for U.S. Rep. Billy Tauzin and U.S. Sens. David Vitter and John Breaux. He did not say whether he expects to pick up an endorsement from Jindal during this election cycle.
The 6th District seat is up for grabs because the current seat holder, U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, is running for the U.S. Senate in the Nov. 4 election.
Graves will be joined in the race by LaPlace real estate broker Richard Dean Lieberman, who is running as a Democrat, and several Republicans including: small business owner Craig McCulloch; Charles "Trey" Thomas, a Baton Rouge teacher and businessman; Baton Rouge tax lawyer and political newcomer Cassie Felder; tax lawyer and state Sen. Dan Claitor, of Baton Rouge; and Baton Rouge business owner Paul Dietzel II who officially kicked off his candidacy with a fundraiser featuring former GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain
First-term East Baton Rouge Parish Metro Councilman Ryan Heck, a Republican, also has announced his intention to run.
Based in south Baton Rouge, the 6th District also includes all or part of East Feliciana, Iberville, Livingston, Pointe Coupee, Lafourche, St. Charles, St. Helena, St. John the Baptist, Terrebonne and West Baton Rouge parishes.

Entrenched poverty on both sides of the Texas-Mexico border drives two mothers to desperate acts and dire consequences in The Girl, David Riker's new drama starring Abbie Cornish.
Riker toggles between two very different disenfranchised groups: the steady stream of humanity trying to survive a Rio Grande river crossing and a single mother in a South Texas town fighting to regain custody of her young son.
The story opens in the middle of a confrontation. Ashley (Cornish), anger barely contained, is pressing her boss for the raise she thought was coming. Then she has a tense conversation with the woman with whom Social Services has placed her son.
The film suddenly shifts gears with the reappearance of Ashley's dad (a crusty Will Patton), his 18-wheeler, too much tequila at his place in Nuevo Laredo and her discovery that the cargo he's moving across the border is human. With no real plan, she soon makes another trip to Mexico to see if she can pick up quick cash by slipping a few people across in the back of her station wagon.
In a river crossing, most are lost, probably drowned, and Ashley finds herself dealing with a survivor, a girl of about 6 whose mother is among the missing.
The journey really begins at this point as Ashley tries to rid herself of any responsibility for Rosa (a winning Maritza Santiago Hernandez). But the youngster, with eyes nearly as angry as Ashley's, is like judgment day, confronting her at every turn. The film is at its most compelling here as Rosa and Ashley figure each other out. Both are spitfires, Ashley initially sharp with the child, deflecting all of her anger at the unforgiving girl. But slowly they reach a kind of unspoken detente as Ashley begins to understand what it means to take care of another human being.
There are moving moments as Cornish channels the slow self-enlightenment necessary for Ashley's character arc. And the actress is particularly good in the scenes with the promising young Hernandez. Ironically, as this well-intentioned film moves toward optimism it begins to lose its emotional power. The Girl is far better when it is looking back in anger.
(B) Directed by David Riker. PG-13. 94 mins. At the AMC Valley View and AMC Stonebriar. In English and Spanish with English subtitles.

Local law enforcement takes on Autism training
POSTED: 08:55 AM PDT Apr 26, 2013 UPDATED: 11:32 AM PDT Apr 26, 2013
Local law enforcement in Santa Barbara county is taking on a different kind of training. It's not on shooting guns or defense tactics, but for the first time officers are learning techniques on how to better communicate with people who have autism.
This training helps officers identify the characteristics of the developmental disorder, so that they can better handle situations. Autism effects 1 in 88 people, a 23-percent increase since 2009, mainly due to the way individuals are diagnosed.

Do You Even Lift, B*tches? Men's Rightsers fight the injustice of hypothetical women-only weight room hours
The latest outrageous assault on Men's Rights? Well, according to more than a thousand upvoters* on Reddit, it's this: some gym somewhere might be considering women only hours in its weight room to accommodate women who feel uncomfortable lifting amongst men.
A female MRA who goes by the name of stuck_at_starbucks came to the Men's Rights subreddit with this tale of anti-male injustice from her local gym:
I was on the treadmill and saw two women start walking towards the weight room, then stop at the entrance and one if them said, "oh nooooo, we can't go in there, there's men!" They started complaining that it "wasn't fair" that they "couldn't use the weight room " and took it to the front desk. The manager came out and told them that they were considering having girls only hours for the weight room.
Naturally, the Men's Rightsers responded to this with the calm, reasoned comments for which they have become so famous. Ah, who am I kidding: they posted nearly 300 comments that ran the gamut from screechy outrage to, well, slightly-less screechy outrage.
Bilbuthehobbit won nearly two dozen upvotes by complaining that these "those bitches with 40 IQ should stop hitting the gym and hit the local library to get dem brain juices flowin."
A number of commenters suggested that women-only hours would be the virtual equivalent of Jim Crow laws. Ghebert001 took it as a great opportunity to pull out the n-word:
Others contemplated some kind of civil disobedience to fight this as-yet-nonexistent policy:
Nightforker suggested that the complaining women were probably just lazy fatties anyway:
While Vaker extended a similar analysis to "most women."
Gosh, I wonder why some women might see themselves as unwelcome in male-dominated gyms?
But my favorite exchange in the whole thread was this one, in which BlueOak9 argued that what the complaining lady needed was some good old-fashioned forced labor:
Yep, that's right, 21 upvotes for a comment suggesting that the only women who get sexually harassed in garages more or less deserve it because they "use their tits to sell tires."
Remember: the Men's Rights subreddit by and large represents the more moderate wing of the Men's Rights movement. This is what moderate MRAs look like.
* The post in question, last I checked, had gotten 1130 upvotes and 305 downvotes for a net 825 upvotes.
Posted on April 7, 2014, in antifeminism, are these guys 12 years old?, drama kings, entitled babies, evil fat fatties, evil women, FemRAs, hundreds of upvotes, imaginary oppression, irony alert, men who should not ever be with women ever, misogyny, MRA, reddit, sexual harassment and tagged gyms, men's rights, misogyny, MRA, reddit, sexual harassment.

Man, you guys have the most talented boobs. Mine were such lackadasicals that I had to kick them out!
Also, I've been wanting to start exercising more diligently; it used to be a lot of fun with my hubby. However, since over-exercise is a part of my ED, I have to be really fucking careful about it. Plus, I've been completely swamped with writeathon, con, taxes, and other stuff this month. So I've been just doing my normal daily half-hour walk.
I really miss working out more. Fortunately, once shit calms down, we can start walking to the park, which has its own free exercise machines! Very simple ones, obviously, intended to withstand being outside all year round, but still pretty cool, and saves me the anxiety of being around people much stronger and fitter than me. Also, being in a nice green park is way better than being in a gym full of screens!
I'm definitely one of those guys who prefers lighter activity. Although the theory's still in testing, it looks like I might not feel pain properly, meaning I tend to way overdo it. (Which let me tell you, combined with an ED can get really ugly, really fast.) I'd love to have greater upper body strength, but most of the workouts I see for that seem to be for guys way fitter than me, and I tend to get left in the dust, which never feels good. My roommate has little ten-pound barbells I've been doing simple little things with; does anyone have any advice for an EDer who's made of wet noodles and trying to move very gently and slowly?
RE: katz
Not a fan of the 1812 Overture?
I was imagining Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights or the Sabre Dance myself. Seriously, the former would give your subwoofers all the pounding you want! The second would be fantastic if you like treating your treadmill time like a hamster wheel.
All of these classical music bits make me feel like a barbarian warrior in some crappy Tolkien knock-off, waving my sword around and going HUAAAARGH
Brahms didn't write music for blasting through stereos. I'm not sure it's fair to criticize other kinds of music for sounding best the way they were designed to be played.
There's a point at which you get diminishing returns from turning up the volume, though. I've been to concerts where I loved the band, but the speakers were turned up way too loud, distorting the sound, and the music felt like an assault. It wasn't enjoyable.
That's probably just me though. I have really sensitive hearing, and loud noises cause me physical pain. Above a certain volume, I go from listening to protective cringing. Even club music sounds much better to me at a lower (non-hearing-damaging) volume.
Now all you dern kids get off my lawn. You're interfering with Lawrence Welk.
Women's only gyms in the USA are rare. Though there are the more frequent women's only aerobic classes.
RE: vaiyt
I CONCEDE! That was indeed enjoyable. (Especially since I'm hard of hearing, so I need subtitles like that for freakin' everything. It's made for some interesting mishearings over the years.)
RE: Fibinachi
The pull-up is my sworn enemy, and even during my most exercisey period, I was only able to do one. I do believe that is pretty damn noodly.
Ugh, this reminds me of the Body Building Forums that I accidentally happened upon…
It's funny, because my husband is a gym-rat of high pedigree — little makes him happier than some time in the gym. But he's talked to me before about how weird he finds it that so many people seem to make exercise so UNPLEASANT. It's full of shouting and nagging and mockery and pain, and he's like, "God, if you're going to do it every day, then at least it should be FUN."
RE: cassandrakitty
what are your goals? If you're looking to tone and build a bit of strength rather than aiming for mega bulk then low weights + high reps may be an option.
Not gonna lie, I'd love to actually have some definition in my arms and shoulders. My goal is to be able to pull myself up onto a thing through sheer upper body strength, just in case I ever have to pull myself into a high-up window again. (I had to get a chair last time. It was embarrassing.)
RE: Fibinachi
All of these are handy, and a good few are ones I used to do! I shall reinstate them.
It reminds me of the time we accidentally got insulted by a body-building forum. Ah, orion. What a strange chap.
OH GOD MY SELF-PROCLAIMED GAY PORN MUSE. WHY DID YOU REMIND ME. "Well, LBT is all right I guess. Sucks that he was raped," my eye!
Pick a goal like, "when i feel like it, I'll do 5 push ups", and then do it if you feel like it. If you want to! If not, then don't! q:
Thanks, that's what hubby tells me, but ED likes to make it, "You must do this every day or FAILURE!" It's good to have the back up.
"Get Fit or Die Trying"
Aheheheheh. Been there. Not nearly as dignified or cool as people think it is.
RE: Fibinachi
I like spreading gay porn muses?
Orion will be one of those dorks I always remember just for sheer oddness — I think he was the first of our trolls to attach to me.
Gay porn muse. Honestly. I have PLENTY of people who have more claim to the title than him.
Which is funny, because I am in fact a woman who weight trains regularly. I invested in a home gym in part because of the men who enjoyed sitting at the cable machine, turned 180 degrees from how one would sit if one were actually using said machine, and watching me squat. Gross.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
After I do the paperwork, she does something with my paperwork, and she shows me a cell phone, hereinafter known as "handset". It's generic looking handset, nothing fancy I assure you. The lady takes FOUR HUNDRED of my dollars, really, four hundred and change, and gives me a NEW ( I guess it was new...but with these people, who knows ?) handset. She gives me a copy of my paperwork, and sends me on my merry way.
I immediately attempt to use my new cell phone ("handset"), and I can't get service, so I drive and drive, until I get "bars" which indicate that maybe I am getting carrier signal. So, I pull over into a parking lot, and dial a number. Then, my bars go away.
Being a bright and intuitive man, with a modicum of sense, and being level-headed, I take my automobile in the opposite direction, which is North. Again, I drive, and drive, and I get no bars. No carrier signal.
Now, I know that there is ONE ( and exactly ONE) cell tower in this hick town, and I know it belongs to Mister Verizon. So, with the astute mind of a Big City college educated middle-aged Squire-about-Town, I head in the direction of the cell tower, on 18th street. Shortly, I am sitting, in my vehicle, parked 100 feet from the tower.
And guess what? That's right ! NO SIGNAL. Now, I understand what is what with cell equipment. As a matter of fact, I actually know everything there is to know about cell equipment, paging equipment, you name it, if it has to do with RADIO COMMON CARRIER technology.....I know about it. There's a reason why. And it isn't important right exactly now.
So, now, as I said, I'm sitting 100 feet from the cell tower, and I am getting no signal. I mean, not a bar. Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, that tells one thing:
I have to get to the proverbial ( and perhaps literal) bottom of this conundrum. You like that word, "conundrum" ? Thanks! I love words. ( If you run into a word you don't know, I think there's a mini-dictionary above in the tool-bar....good luck)
But what I don't love, is paying out the ying-yang for a service that I do not receive. And that just brings me to the core issue: I had been RIPPED OFF.
RIPPED OFF, BY AN OUTFIT CALLED "RUSSELL CELLULAR". Ever heard of Battlefield, Missouri ? Yeah....neither had I. Until then. So I get on the phone ( I mean, my VIRGIN MOBILE cell phone (handset)). I call Russell Cellular at their BIG TIME Corporate Office in the thriving metropolis of Battlefield, MO, Green County, Missouri. I ask to speak to some one that can explain what in the unmitigated HELL is going on with my cell service.
Next thing I know, I'm in my car, driving back and forth and hither and yon, trying to get a signal. Yes, the moron at RUSSELL CELLULAR is actually asking me to do this. And I, the apparently bigger moron, is actually doing this. But, only for a moment.
Then, I tell the guy, "just stop. this is STUPID". I can see that this is all horse feces, so I tell the guy I'm hanging up, and I go over to the Russell Cellular store.
I am not really greeted by an affectionate and respectful bunch, once I make it known that I am there because I've been RIPPED OFF, and that I don't appreciate being RIPPED OFF.
Well, she, the so-called manager, gets on the phone with some jerk-off in the tech department, tells him blah, blah, blah, droning on and on, what can we do, what the heck this, and what the heck that, and they don't know, and they don't have the answers and it's not their responsibility....WHAT ??????? Say that again ?
It's not your responsibility? I've had this "handset" for two days, and I can't make a call and it's not your problem ?
I leave, and go home, and I get on the phone with RUSSELL CELLULAR. And this time, they play the badger game. You know, they toss me around from extension to extension, from this guy to that guy......and nothing.
Next day, I drive back to the retail store, and now, there's a new manager. And this manager is one of those " screw with me at your own risk" types of people; you know, like she perhaps might have spent her formative years in a women's prison ?
I get nowhere, but kicked out of the store. YES. I am literally kicked out.
And it all went down hill from there. Here's the punch line, folks: ALLTEL, I believe, was acting in concert with RUSSELL CELLULAR, to bilk, defraud, steal, gouge, and RIP OFF some small town types. Well, I ain't no small town kind of a guy. I've been baptized by FIRE. The steel in my soul has been tempered by BIG TOWN spit, sweat, and piss, and by working sometimes 18 hours a day to make people wealthy, 'cause that was my job. Making them rich. But don't piss down my back, folks and then tell me it's raining.
I told RUSSELL CELLULAR I was on to their little scam. I wrote to agencies. Nothing.
Lately I communicated with law enforcement agencies. I even talked to the Battlefield Police department. If you want to call it a "department". I thought they were going to LAUGH at me.
I wrote to State Representative Mister Eric "Mr. Big" Burlison. Well, Rep. Burlison ignored me like I had AIDS. That little trip cost me four months of my time. I then talked to the MISSOURI STATE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE. Guess what ?
NOTHING. They must have thought I had a Helluva nerve, to actually bring a real nuts and bolts problem to their doorstep. Anyhow, I'm sure they were just too busy with their fish and goose soiree', to help a fellow citizen.
Now, I am going to the Department of Justice in D.C., Criminal Divison. We'll see where I land with that effort.
On a detective thriller note.....I found out that ALLTEL, as I was being sold that "contract that never was", was being ABSORBED by Mister Verizon....
You see? You get it ? RUSSELL CELLULAR was using that buy-out as a smoke screen to scam us. ALL OF US. It was not brilliant. But, it did keep us in the fog long enough to get our money.
RUSSELL CELLULAR: If they had any guts, they would just cut the crap, and hold up armored cars. At least I could half-way respect a crook with guts. RUSSELL CELLULAR: We will get you yet. You'll see.

In this Internet exclusive, Jason Michael Carroll talks touring, fame and the sound of his own voice
In a revealing article from the April 21 issue of Country Weekly, Jason Michael Carroll discusses how he manages the tricky balancing act between fame and fatherhood. Here are a few exclusive Internet-only excerpts from our interview with Jason, whose new hit "I Can Sleep When I'm Dead" is the third from his debut album, Waitin' in the Country.
On His Voice
"I'm not the biggest fan of my own voice, but I've heard that a lot of people who sing don't like their own voice. Maybe it's just what we hear. But I'm glad other people are. To me, it's not so much about enjoying what I'm hearing, it's about enjoying what I'm doing and everybody else enjoying it."
On Fame
"It's amazing to see exactly how far we've come in a short amount of time. We signed the record deal in December 2005, and spent all of 2006 recording the album. To see what a great year 2007 was for us, with 'Alyssa Lies' and 'Living Our Love Song' and becoming Billboard's top new country artist of the year, it's overwhelming."
On His Concerts
"I try to entertain as many people as I can. Entertainment is one of my top priorities. I love getting to perform for people night after that night that are expecting 'Livin' Our Love Song' or 'Alyssa Lies,' and then giving them what I think is so much more than that, to show them how diverse it is, how we can filter these songs into a more rockin' show. We can get 'em up out of their seats with songs like our new single, 'I Can Sleep When I'm Dead.'"
On Touring with Alan Jackson and Brook & Dunn
"One of the biggest thrills we had was being out [on tour last year] with Alan Jackson and Brooks & Dunn. I really think we had a big hand in getting people into their seats a lot earlier. Brooks & Dunn's camp was so cool to us. Most opening acts only get 20 minutes, and they gave us a little more time each night to get out there and do what we wanted to do. That was really cool, so I'm grateful to those guys. I've been friends with Kix [Brooks] for a while now, and Ronnie [Dunn] is such a great guy. I got the chance to work out with them a few times while we were on the road. Alan Jackson's manager came up to me one day and said, 'Alan wants to meet you. He asked for a copy of your CD yesterday.' I thought that was one of the coolest things—Alan Jackson asked for a copy of my CD! So hopefully we'll get a chance to work with those guys again."

Kate Upton and Aubrey McClendon both look good wearing blue around their necks.
The girl pictured above is Kate Upton. She's currently the hottest girl on the planet and cover girl of the 2012 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. What makes Kate so hot, in my educated opinion, is that she really doesn't look like the typical supermodel. She's not waif thin. She's not exotic. She's kind of like the girl next door…if the girl next door just happened to be 19 years old and the hottest girl on earth. Make sense?
Anyway, an Ogle Mole emailed us yesterday and mentioned that Aubrey McClendon was Kate Upton's uncle or something. Intrigued, I decided to see what I could dig up. This is what I learned:
• Aubrey McClendon married a woman named Katie Upton in St. Joseph Michigan in 1981. For what it's worth, Katie's grandpa was the founder of Whirlpool ($$$).
• Katie Upton, Aubrey's wife, is a (first?) cousin of US Congressman Fred Upton. Coincidentally, he is the chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
• Kate Upton, the ridiculously hot supermodel, is Fred Upton's niece.
• Therefore, Kate Upton (the model) is a cousin-in-law of Aubrey McClendon…I think.
So yeah, as if being born a millionaire and then becoming a billionaire wasn't enough, Aubrey McClendon is somehow related to the hottest girl on the planet. What a bastard. And to make things better, they are related by marriage. That means he can check her out on the cover of magazines or during yachting trips or whatever and not feel gross or icky. Well, it's gross and icky when you consider she's 19 and he's in his 50s, but other than that it's okay.
p.s. – I was going to post the cover of the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, but SI went out of its way to make Kate look as un-hot as possible. Then I was going to link to the cover in the sentence above, but discovered this video instead. Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints! I need a cigarette.

Cool. Now maybe we can get them to pose for a relative photoshoot like this one (NSFW)
saw upton on letterman's late show of feb 14's evening. let's hope upton is a model for a long time. she's mentally about 2-3 cans short of six-pack.
Kate Upton is literally amazing. Jesus, if only girls looked like this in real life. Goodness!
Kate is Katie's niece. So I think you're wrong in the chain of how they are related, but yes, they are related.
Thanks! Your message has been sent!

Texas Instruments CEO saw 8 percent rise in total compensation in 2014
Texas Instruments Inc.'s CEO Rich Templeton saw his total compensation rose about 8 percent to $14.5 million in 2014, according to public documents filed today.
Two-thirds of his total compensation, or $9.8 million, was in the form of stock option awards. Templeton's annual bonus rose 15 percent to about $3.5 million. His base salary rose 3.3 percent to $1.1 million.
The Dallas-based chipmaker said Templeton's higher compensation was based on the company's above-median performance last year for revenue growth minus wireless products (11 percent), operating profits as a percent of revenue (30 percent) and total shareholder returns (25 percent).

Death Defying Acts photos hit the net
A wave of photos of Catherine Zeta-Jones in Death Defying Acts have hit the net. Under headlines proclaiming "Zeta-Jones Strips for Houdini" and "Zeta-Jones turns belly-dancing psychic," the pics show the Oscar winning actress performing her mind-reading act in the film.
It's all great; trouble is, not one of these articles give us a release date!
Starring Guy Pearce as Houdini, Death Defying Acts was due to be released by the Weinstein Company on Christmas Day. The film never materialized and emails to Myriad Pictures and The Weinstein Company went unanswered.
The Age reports that the film will be released in March in Australia and IMDb shows a Russian release on February 28. But for the rest of us, well...here's Catherine!

Houdini musical in Montreal, Feb 10
Wasserman had directed The Great Houdini, a Yiddish musical in 2000, but the goal was to always adapt it for a wider audience.
"I'm having a massive theatre production performed on the same stage where I grew up performing in Yiddish productions," says Gonshor. "West End residents should be proud of the fact that quality local theatre is being produced in their own backyards; this isn't a Toronto production or a Broadway show touring the country; it's a locally written, directed, produced and performed show. People should support it and come out."
"At the end of it all however, Houdini is a musical and is meant as entertainment and everyone involved in the production hopes that people embrace it because they leave the show having gotten their money's worth."
The Leonor and Alvin Segal Theatre, The Montreal Highlights Festival and Ernst & Young present Houdini from February 10 - March 2. For tickets and/or information, you can call the Box Office at 514-739-7944 or Admission at 514-790-1245. You can also log on to: www.segalcentre.org. The Segal Centre for Performing Arts at the Saidye is located at 5170 Cote Ste. Catherine Rd.
