Chapter 16: How Paul Died.
Olivia Goodspeed was an attractive blond girl. Everyone in the DI had to admit that. The first day she arrived at the island, she already got three love letters and ten bunches of flowers from her secret admirers. She threw all those away.
Every time a young boy tried to initiate some flirting with her, she walked away and left him deeply embarrassed. No one in the island was good enough for her, except one, but that one was unavailable.
His name was Paul.
She didn't know why out of so many handsome young men on the island, she only loved him. Maybe it was just because he never took her seriously, or maybe he was already married.
This secret love tortured her. She tried her best not to show any sights. But it seemed everyone knew about it, and when they looked at her, she felt the sympathy, which made her even crazier.
"I don't need your pity. I will forget about Paul and love someone else. You will all see." She said to herself. However, it was hard not think about him every day, especially when he was around all the time. She would be melted by his sound of "Hello" and "Goodbye". She would fantasize about one day, he and she would go to the mountain top, enjoying a formal picnic, just two of them.
One day she finally found an alternative candidate. He's as handsome as Paul. He also had a leader's quality, and his gentle voice made her high too.
His name is Richard Alpert.
It was easy for them to meet each other. From time to time, Richard would come and tell her where to find some dead bodies, which was killed by the monster or some unbelievably bad luck. They both spoke Latin, and both loved history and poems. So there had been a lot to talk about, after the bad news was delivered.
She was surprised to find out that Richard had a very kind heart. He could communicate with all the animals on the island, and he would protect the weak ones from their predators. He noticed all the little things that Olivia had missed, and he knew about her feelings more than any DI boys did. She found that gradually she fell in love again.
However, it was too bad that Richard never said he liked her. He never talked about his marriage, or the secrets of the island. From the conversations, Olivia could guess that Richard was much older than her, or even older than her grand, grandparents. How could he stay so young after all those years? She always wondered. It made him more mysterious than ever. It was a fatal attraction to her.
Richard seemed very interested in talking to her too. He asked all kind of question about her life, her previous work as a UN translator, and the world that was outside of the island. It seemed that every little thing she said fascinated him. He was the best listener she ever had.
She was so glad that finally she had someone to love and be loved. There was no more pity or sympathy around her, all she saw was sunshine and rainbows everywhere. She knew DI boys said things behind her back, but she didn't care at all.
One day Paul found her and told her, "Olivia. We all know what you have been doing. You cannot go on like this anymore."
"What are you talking about? Paul?" She was surprised to find herself peaceful with Paul's presence. No more sweating or butterflies in the stomach. It seemed that her love with Paul was officially over.
"You know what I am talking about." Paul said, "You and Richard. It's not right to go behind our back like that. After all, I am the head of security. I have to make sure you won't be compromised by him."
"Since when did you care about my personal life?" Olivia started to get angry. You idiot, you could have had me, the beautiful smart blondie, instead of the cunning pale Amy. Now you want to interfere in my love life?!
"I am sorry, Olivia. I really don't want to get in your way, but it's a matter of security of DI. It involves everyone's safety in the base. I simply cannot let you continue like this. It's obvious that Richard is using you to get some inside information."
"You mean once I fall in love with him, I will be a snitch? Rat everything out? You disgust me, Paul! Unlike what you think, I am not stupid. I know what to say and what not to. Now if you excuse me..."
It was Paul's turn of sweating, "Olivia, please. I don't mean like that. We all know you are a smart lady, but we just don't want anything that might happen to you. It's always a bad idea to fall in love with an enemy..."
"Hahaha..." Olivia laugh, "You think this is 'Romeo and Juliet'?" She looked at him, feeling her love toward him was no more, now he appeared to be ugly. "Then who should I fall in love with? You?"
Paul didn't seem to understand the strong sarcasm, "Olivia. You have so many admirers in the base. You can have anyone you want. For example, Horace, he is a good man."
"Horace?" Olivia almost had to laugh again. He liked your wife, you idiot! You still don't know?
"Yeah, he mentioned you a lot of times. And Stuart, he likes you, too."
Ewilll, that ugly geek! She had to doubt, does this man really understand girls? Why did I fall for such a stupid guy?
"Olivia, just think about it, OK?" Paul was almost begging.
"You know what?" Olivia couldn't hold it to herself anymore, "I think you are jealous."
"What? No, no, no!" Paul suddenly found himself in a corner.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! you are jealous of me and him. Originally you could have me, all of me, anything you want, but you never took a chance. Now you see me going out with him, and you feel a lot of jealousy. So you are here to tell me not to hang out with him, not because he is an enemy, but because of me. Am I right?"
Paul had a headache with this overly smart woman. He didn't even know how to begin to rebuke. The silence convinced Olivia that her guess was 100 percent correct.
"See? Now you admit it. It's too late, Paul. Oh, please don't cry, Paul. I am with him, but we are still friends, right?"
Paul had to say something, "Wait a minute, lady, who do you think you are? Plus, I am not crying."
"Oh, yeah, like I will believe you." Olivia left with a big smile in her face, like she just won a battle.
Paul didn't move. After a long while, he let out a long long sigh and said:
It was a very lovely morning on top of the mountain. However, something bad was about to happen.
There were a handsome man and a pretty lady sitting on a picnic cloth with wine and fruit on the side. They talked pleasantly for a while, then the conversation gradually went bad.
"I am sorry, Olivia." Richard said, "But I don't love you."
"What?!" Olivia felt the world was crumbling down. She almost fainted at the cruel words. How could he possibly say that?
Richard held her arm and let her lying on the picnic cloth, "I am very sorry. I still love my wife, and I know she's always around somewhere. So I cannot love you."
"But why?" Lying on the cloth, Olivia suddenly lost a lot of strength, "Why did you talk to me so much? Why did you ask me so many questions about my life?"
"I don't get out much. I'm always wondering what the world outside looks like. You are the only one who I can really talk to in the whole DI."
"But how about the ways you care about me? The things that you said you only told me?"
"I am a gentleman, and you are a fine lady. That's the courtesy I should have shown."
Olivia felt the sky getting really dark, "MY .... GOOOSH. For all the time, it was only me. Oh, my god! It was only me! What have I done?"
"What?" Richard said.
Desperately, she found a new hope, "What about this picnic? Why you invited me to the mountain top, and share the wine with me? Huh? Do you know that it is always my dream to do something like this?" Paul's face flashed over her mind, painfully.
"Uh... It just seems like a good idea." Richard replied, "But now I think I'd better go." He stood up.
"Please don't ..." Olivia tried to get up and grabbed his arm, "Give me a chance. I love you! Please..."
Richard swung his arm. Olivia grabbed only the air and lost her balance. She fell to the ground and kept rolling down the slope for another 50 feet.
All the lights went out. Olivia lost her consciousness.
When she woke up, Richard was long gone. All he left was pain everywhere. She cried so hard that she never thought it could be possible.
Sitting up, still trembling like a small tree under the winter blizzard, she used her walkie-talkie.
"Olivia, what is going on?" Paul asked anxiously.
"Just ... come ...." Olivia lost her words in tears.
Twenty minutes later, Paul was there. He saw an Olivia that he had never seen before. Her hair was a mess; her face was a mess; her clothes were also a mess. He was furious right away.
"Did he rape you?" he asked, "Richard. Did he rape you?"
Olivia just jumped into his arms and cried.
"OK, OK. It's alright, big girl. We will take care of you." Paul said it very softly. Then he motioned a man to come, "Horace here will escort you back to the base. Everything will be alright, I promise, OK?"
Olivia didn't say a thing. She just kept weeping and crying. Horace helped her into a jeep, then he drove back.
"SOB!" Paul sworn, "I knew the freaking bastard was playing her. Now he dared to rape her and leave her here to die?! I will personally make him pay!" He took out the walkie-talkie and dialed to another frequency.
One hour later, two men showed up with guns. They searched around first, seeing no one else is there, and they relaxed.
The first one came up and said, "Paul, go back, you are in our territory. I can just kill you without questioning. You know that."
"How dare you say something like this?" Paul's eyes were bulging, "Are you seriously thinking that Richard can commit this horrible crime and get away with it?"
"What are you talking about, Paul?" They both had no idea.
"I am talking about Richard RAPING Olivia."
"Richard?" first one repeated it doubtfully, "Raping?" the other follow, "Olivia?" Their faces both turned very strange.
"Ha ha ha ha...." They both laughed out loud.
"What's so FUUCKING funny?!" Paul almost exploded. "I swear to you, he is gonna pay for this!!"
One of the two said, "There is no way Richard will do that. I think the other way around is more possible. She is so attached to him. There is no way we can drive her away..."
It was too much to bear. Paul jumped ahead and knocked the man in the face, very hard.
PANG!! A gun shot was fired, and a woman was screaming. "No, no, no!!"
Amy appeared from nowhere and rushed to rescue Paul.
"Why you protect the bitch so much? I hated you!" She cried, then she changed, "No, no. I am sorry. I love you. I love you so much! Please wake up for me, please!" She held her husband tight. She felt his body temperature was sinking, so did her heart.
Paul knew he did a stupid thing. He gathered up all of his remaining strength, trying to kiss her cheek, then he died.
"Oh, no! Oh, no!" Amy felt ultimately lost. All in a sudden the whole world meant nothing to her. Dark, cold, sorrow and emptiness filled up her heart. She felt a pinching pain that piercing all over her body. A pain that she only felt when she lost her parents came back even stronger. It torn her into pieces and drained her all the strengths.
All she could do was keep calling him, "Paul, Paul, talk to me! Talk to me, Paul!" But it was already too late.
The two men seemed not touched by the misery a bit. Over the years, they had watched way too many deaths. Those emotions already meant nothing to them. Instead, since they already began killing, why not just finished it? Their ghosts would meet each other again in the jungle. Killing her was more like doing her a big favor. So they put a mask on her face, and prepared to shoot her as well.
Suddenly a deep male voice came out of nowhere, "Alright, drop the gun!"
Those two men turned violently toward the source of the sound. They both raised the rifle, but before they could aim. They were both shot by some ones they had never met.
Their names were Sawyer and Juliet.
"Is Amy alright?" Dr. Chang asked.
Horace shook his head slowly. Amy was in a deep sorrow. He felt a strong responsibility to protect her.
"What happened today? Why Richard came and took Paul's body?"
"He claimed that we killed two of them, but it turned out that Mr. LeFeur was the killer."
"Who the hell is Mr. LeFeur?"
Horace thought about it, and said, "I am not sure who he is, or where he is from. I just know he have been lying ever since he woke up. He is a damn good liar, though. I give him that."
"Is he one of them?"
"No, it's true that he killed both of those hostiles. So he is not on their side."
Dr. Chang nodded his head. Horace was well trained by Paul. No wonder he was the number two in security. It was too bad that Paul passed away like that. Now the position was empty. "Horace, now I promote you to the head of security. You have to do a good job, and don't involve in ladies' business like Paul did. It's a shame we lost him over a love drama."
"I am sorry, chief. I cannot do that either." Horace replied calmly, "I will only do the job part-time. I cannot spend a whole day running around and training rookies like Paul did."
Dr. Chang was mildly surprised, "You are the one who's always want to get Paul's job. Now you are telling me that you don't want it. Why?"
"I will do the job, but I can only work part time." Horace said, "There is someone I need to take care of. I don't want to make the same mistake like Paul did."
"I see." Dr. Chang now understood, "Amy. She's lucky to have you."
"I don't see it that way, Sir." Horace said, "I think I am the lucky one."
"So how do we solve the problem, Horace? Can you recommend someone to me? A man that's tough enough like you?"
"Uh..." Horace considered it for a while, then said, "Forgive me for being too blunt."
"That's alright."
"Our new recruits are all bunch of boy scouts. They are all chickens. None of them can really do the job. The tough and bad guys all died either by the accidents, or killed by the monster. So we got no one."
"There you go. You are the only one who is qualified. So please ..."
"Doctor." Horace interrupted him, "There is still somebody who is fully qualified."
"You just said we got no one..."
"Mr. LeFleur."
"Are you kidding me? The cold-blooded killer? Oh, I get your point." Dr. Chang now started to admire Horace's smartness.
"Yup. He is definitely not on their side. He's very clever and good at firearms. He also got a small team, which everyone respects him and trust him as a leader. If we can use them all, they will be great help for us."
"But can you really trust them?"
Horace thought about it over, "I will be the one who's looking behind their back. If any of them make a move, I will remove them immediately."
"You are the man." Dr. Chang had to agree.
"Rosie, how is Amy?" Horace asked.
Nurse Rosie walked out, wiped her tears, shook her head and left.
Horace entered Amy's house. First thing he noticed was that the whole house was a big mess. Stuff was all over the place. Broken glasses and furniture were everywhere. A strong alcohol smell filled the air. It made his heart twinge.
Amy was lying on her bed. Hugging her husband's photo frame, and murmuring something. Her pale face and dark eyes made her looked like an overdosed junkie.
"Hi, Amy." Horace got close and showed her a bunch of flowers, "This is for you."
She didn't even notice Horace's existence. All she was doing was looking straight and murmuring something.
Horace found an unbroken vase and put the flowers in. He asked carefully, "What are you saying, Amy? Can you share it?"
No reply from her. She acted more like a wooden doll in a circus.
Horace frowned with his heart wrenching. The house was once such a clean and neat place; she was once such a lovely and bright woman. Now this!
"I am going to take care of you, OK? Amy, listen to me. I am going to take care of you. You hear me?"
"Paul?" Amy suddenly became active, she gazed at the ceiling, "Is that you?"
Horace felt the pain unbearable. He got a strong heart, but that was too difficult, even for him. "Amy, it's me, Horace. Paul is not here."
Amy just ignored him, "Paul, I know you are around. Come out, I want to see you, please come out." She looked around, then for the first time she saw Horace. She suddenly turned into a volcano, "What the hell are you doing here? Get out!"
"I am sorry, Amy, but ..."Horace wanted to explain, but he was pushed fiercely by Amy. Before he could utter another word, Amy yelled at his face, "I SAID 'GET OUT'!!!" Then she slammed the door in his face.
Through the door, Horace could still hear Amy talking to her imaginary husband incessantly. She broke a vase, then she screamed, something else was fallen and made a huge thud.
He sat down at the porch and started weeping. In the history of DI, it was the first time people ever saw him crying. It was also the last time.
3 months later, in the Orchid Station secret laboratory.
"Oh, MY GOD!" Dr. Chang almost jumped when he suddenly saw Amy standing right next to him. She looked exactly like a ghost: long hair, black eyes, pale faces and white sleeping gown.
"Oh, you scare me..." Dr. Chang let out a long breath before he went on, "What are you doing in the Orchid Station? Horace said you are still not fit for work."
"It is been three months already." Amy spoke like a zombie, "I need to work."
"It's perfectly alright that you take more time off. We are all covered here. There is nothing to worry about." Dr. Chang tried his best not to offend her in anyway.
"Really?" Amy doubted, "I don't see it this way."
"How is the progress of the digging?"
"Uh..."Dr. Chang felt very strange, it was like all in a sudden she became his supervisor, "Though it was freezing cold down below, all the drills melted in a certain depth. So we stop drilling."
"I know. That was four months ago. Did you take any sample up since then?"
"Of course we did. And we found some interesting material there."
"Show me."
"Maybe we should wait...."
"Alright, alright. You are the 'man'." Dr. Chang complied with reluctance. Women, he thought, are always trouble.
"Here you go." He handed over some photos, "After magnifying it 5 million times, we saw some special materials here. It can be activated by certain electromagnetic power, but we still don't know how it works."
Amy took the photos and inspected it carefully with each single pixel. It was almost like the good old scientist Amy was back to the lab.
"Interesting material." She agreed, "What did the Gemologist say?"
"She said she never saw anything like that. She has no idea how to classify it."
"That's not a surprise. She knew nothing about microscopic material structure science (or we call 'Nano Technology' as today). There will be a dead end from her."
Is this really she? Dr. Chang wondered. The Amy he knew never criticized anyone. She surely changed a lot after the tragedy.
"Alright. That's it. I am taking over." Amy said it with ultimate authorization, "Give me the samples. I will do some test myself."
"Amy, I really hope that you can ..."
"Give me the sample. Dr. Chang. I am the one who got you all here. I am sure I have the right to do some research on my own." Her sound was cold like steel.
Dr. Chang's headache was back. Before he had a miserable grieving Amy, now he got a Nazi Dictator Amy. Both of them were intolerable.

Bernardino López de Carvajal (b. 1455, at Plasencia in Estremadura, Spain; d. at Rome 16 December 1523) was a Spanish Cardinal.[1]
He was a nephew of Cardinal Juan Carvajal, and advanced rapidly in the ecclesiastical career at Rome, whither he came during the pontificate of Pope Sixtus IV (1471-84). UnderPope Innocent VIII he held successively the Spanish sees of Astorga (1488), Badajoz (1489), and Cartagena, in which latter quality he was sent as nuncio to Spain. Their Catholic Majesties sent him back as Spanish ambassador to Pope Alexander VI, by whom he was made Cardinal of Sts. Peter and Marcellinus in 1493, which title he exchanged in 1495 for that of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme.
In the next following years he was sent twice as legate to the German imperial court, also to Naples, and acted as Governor of the Campagna. In 1503 he was made Bishop of Siguenza in Spain, and Administrator of the diocese of Avellino; from 1507 to 1509 he was in turn Cardinal-Bishop of Albano, Bishop of Frascati, Bishop of Palestrina and Bishop of Sabina.
In spite of this rapid advancement and his numerous benefices he is best remembered as the leading spirit of the schismatical Council of Pisa (1511), which he organized with the aid of four other cardinals (Cardinal Briçonnet, Cardinal Francesco Borgia, Cardinal Federico Sanseverino, and Cardinal René de Prie). Dissatisfaction with his treatment by Pope Julius II, and subserviency to the excommunicate Louis XII of France, led Carvajal to this rebellious attitude.
Moroni (Diz., X, 134) says that he went so far as to accept the office of Antipope Martin VI at Milan whither the Council was soon transferred. Von Reumont says (gesch. d. Stadt Rom. III, ii 78-79) that in Pisa he was known to the urchins of the street as "Papa Bernardino".
It would seem, therefore, that ambition was his chief falling; otherwise he was reputed a good theologian and a friend of art and letters, virtuous, eloquent, and skilful in the business of the curia. Both Carvajal and his colleagues were excommunicated by Julius II, and deposed from their offices, which act of the pope was confirmed by the Fifth Lateran Council (1512). At the seventh session (1513) of this council the Italian cardinals, Carvajal and Sanseverino, separated from their two French colleagues, formally renounced the schism, and were restored by Pope Leo X to their offices. (Pastor, Gesch. d. Päpste, Freiburg, 1906, IV (1), 37-40).
Carvajal was later made Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia and Dean of the Sacred College, with his uncle's former title of San Marcello, and as such welcomed to Rome Pope Adrian VI (op. cit. IV (2) 47-48), whom he survived, and Pope Clement VII. He had lived at Rome under eight popes, and was buried in his titular church of Santa Croce, where a magnificent sepulchral monument perpetuates his memory.
The noble but modernized frescoes (Pinturicchio school) in the tribuna of the apse, representing the Discovery of the Holy Cross, are owing to his generosity.

Just been forwarded an article with a selection of good running routes in Shanghai. Take a look here: http://www.cnngo.com/shanghai/play/5-best-shanghai-running-routes-563675
I do a quite a bit of running in Shanghai and would definitely recommend Suzhou Creek (mentioned on the first page). It's a good route you're looking for running on a quite road with very few traffic lights. The road for the Creek starts/finish at the Bund, which is also cool.
Hope the article proves helpful to other runners out there!

Fury Rising – Book 1 Stunners Series
In about 2 weeks, while I'm partying with some fellow readers and writers at the 2014 Romantic Times Convention, another of my children will be born.
Fury Rising is the first in my urban fantasy Stunners Series.
This book really was a labor of love. One of my dear friends called it 'sexy X-Men'. (Heehee) That part I won't deny. In addition to the sex, I wanted to see a strong female protagonist who is still dealing with common issues of women in the workplace, even in the dystopian world I created.
Melanie Hawks is misunderstood. As the team trainer for STTUN, she is quick witted, sassy and volatile. And she's in love with Malice, the team's commander.
Their relationship is difficult at best, but before she is able to figure it all out, The Rizen – a group of mutants dedicated to the absolute destruction of the United Nations and STTUN – makes a bold move that could enable them to succeed in their deathly mission.
This story was a magnificent blast and I can't wait for its release.
There'll also be a launch party and many events and surprises tweeted live from the Romantic Times Convention!
I hope you'll join me as I welcome my newest family member, Fury. I hope you love her as much as I do.

Sri Yantra Applications
As we explore the inner workings of the Sri Yantra, we see that there are a myriad of technological applications of it in major industries, including: cosmology, astrology, quantum mechanics, art, agriculture and farming, architecture, physiology, and music.
Ancient technology was (and still is) used to determine and sustain the balance between human life, nature, and the Universe. The ancients believed that by studying the stars, they were also studying the inner workings of the human mind.
As the saying goes, ". . . as above, so below."
When it comes to astrology, the Sri Yantra rules. Vedic astrology (a.k.a. Jyotish—the science of light) is a cosmic technology used to identify opportunities and provide invaluable insight from the Universe.
The vibration that resounds from Sri Yantra appears in magnetic waves—which makes it an "energy house"—absorbing all the reflections from the cosmos. These emitted waves clear all the negative energy present. Because of this phenomenon, the Sri Yantra is a sacred tool used to alleviate stress, anxiety, and fear as it opens up the space for the energy of transformation, happiness, health, and prosperity.
The supreme Sri Yantra is known as the genetic code of the Universe. It has its own intelligence supported by the technology of the cosmos and created from the Divine's own being.
Not long ago, the Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (CERN) conducted an experiment with their Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC was set to organize a high-speed collision for the purpose of creating antimatter particles. Scientists played Master of the Universe in an effort to recreate the aftermath of the "Big Bang" event that gave birth to the cosmos millions of years ago. In the first moments after the Big Bang, only energy existed. As the universe cooled and expanded, particles of both matter and antimatter were produced in equal amounts. Why matter came to dominate is a question that scientists have yet to discover.
The super collider CERN created to open doors to other dimensions resembles the structure of the Sri Yantra, wouldn't you say?
Bill Witherspoon, the acclaimed artist and musician wrote, "Art as Technology," after he and his team of friends and researchers created a series of artistic experiments where they constructed sacred geometry in nature. One of his experiments was to design a giant Sri Yantra in the Oregon desert.
They observed that certain geometric structures, especially the Sri Yantra, enliven and amplify specific laws of nature such as: changes in the weather, environment, soil, vegetation, and animal behavior; levels of awareness in humans; and an overall feeling of effortless harmony.
Witherspoon believes sacred geometry and its influence on nature consistently effect the total environment, including human physiology and consciousness.
"Art of this kind has the power and role of a technology; it can bring the beauty, balance, and wholeness of Nature into our day-to-day lives; it can help to create a venue from which Nature can speak; it is art that can assist in transforming our world into a fitting expression of the real possibilities inherent in life." – Bill Witherspoon

The Mongols
The Mongols were some of the most ruthless people of that time. They learned to ride horses and use bows and arrows while on them. They razed cities to the ground and conquered all of Mongolia.
Genghis Khan, was the founder and Great Khan of the Mongolian Empire, which didn't come into full power into way after his time. He failed in attempt to rule all of China, but his family eventually achieved that.
Kublai Khan was the founder of the Yuan Dynasty. He was also a Mongolian general and statesman and was grandson of the famous Genghis Khan. Kublai Khan was the fifth great ruler of Mongolia. He eventually conquered China wholly.

I have only made RI transfers. And though I like them I am thinking of trying the FBCT.
Can someone tell me what the differences are? I know the FBCT wont get as hard as the RI but other than that what are the difference. Any tricks? Also with the FBCT you use the reverse side, with RI i have always just peeled the transfer off the wax paper and put it on the cake. I have never flipped it over.
I need to make a UF Gator head to put on a fondant cheesecake and a Boy Scout eagle that will go on top of Fondant.
Thank you in advance.
They are piped in the same way, basically. You outline your picture in what ever color on your wax paper and then fill in.
The difference with the FBCT is that you are building the picture from the bottom up (like you started) and with the same consistency of icing, I use a soft medium, that you used to outline, so no thinning down.
FBCTs are generally quicker to do, because RI transfers have to sit out and dry for at least a day if not more depending on the size. With a FBCT you can use it with in an hour or so.
Once on a cake an FBCT is just like any other buttercream decoration. It will crust over, but won't be hard and crunchy. You can cut through it just like you would your regular icing.
I love FBCT, and have used them many of times. They work well for me because I'm such a last minute person.
The best tip I can give, is when you are filling in the section, don't just pipe line. Move your tip around slowly and really let the icing build out away from your tip some. After it's been in the freezer for a bit I take mine out and flip it over then rub my finger over the top to help smooth out any lines. And once it is on the cake, I will also smooth over it with a viva paper towel.
I know some how to's tell you to use premade black, I just color my own icing black and haven't had an issue. I also don't do that extra layer of icing on the back up of like some of them do. But when you leave it off you have to make sure you build your transfer up thick enough to start with.
I think making a color flow item. I think using color flow is stronger than the RI and much easier than the FBCT. It works the same way a doing a RI transfer but as I said it is much stronger as far as being thicker and easier to handle. You can buy a can of color flow whereever they sell Wilton products like Michaels or JoAnn's.
Royal icing has been used to make those transfers for years and years and it works just fine. While Color flow may make a stronger piece, I have made plenty of RI transfers with no problem at all.
Since it is going on a cheese cake, something that needs to stay in the fridge I would go with the FBCT, because moisture can break down RI or CF transfers.
Thank you, I am going to give it a shot...

Garden Walks Flower Hill Farm Retreat
Join Carol in garden walks of Flower Hill Farm Retreat throughout the seasons. Let go and give in to sounds, rhythms and movements of nature. There will be guided quiet walks and whispers within the flora and fauna of Flower Hill Farm. Equipped with note pads, and camera if you choose, we will stroll through the gardens, fields, and sometimes forest in an effort to sense and see both forms and textures of plantings, while hopefully capturing moments of visiting wildlife. A discussion — question and answer period will take place after the walk, so that we may enjoy 'being' in the landscape during our walk. By stepping quietly into the gardens we will more likely be delighted by chance encounters with wildlife.

the defendant's individual obligation to pay the interest quarterly. The lessee, as between the lessor and lessee, has become the principal for, the payment of interest. The intention and the object of the provision were, as in tbe mortgage cases, palpably and primarily for the benefit of the plaintiff, and to enhance its certainty of securing the interest upon the lessor's mortgage. It is not required that the benefit of the plaintiff should be the sole object of the agreement. The next point is that the complaint does not state that the defend· ant agreed or was under obligation to mine between January 1, 1897, and July 1, 1898. It is true,that the complaint does not formally state that the lease was in force up to and on July 1, 1898; but it does state that on and prior to, July 1, 1898, quarterly payments amounting to $30,000 had become due and payable under the terms of the agreement, which sufficiently avers that the lease continued to be opel,'ative. , It is next said that the agreement proyides that the royalties are to be so long "as coal tothat amount is produced under the lease," and, as'it appears from the complaint that no coal was mined after January 1, 1897, there was no obligation on the part of the lessee to pay. The clause which is referred to was to prevent an obligation to pay if coal,did not exist or had ,been exhausted, but not to relieve the lessee from his liability to pay a royalty if he willfully and arbitrarily refused to mine. The complaint avers a willful and wrongful neglect refusal by the defendant to mine after June 1, 1896. The demurrer is overru,led, with costs, with leave to the defendant to answer within 30 days from the date when this opinion shall be filed.
et al. v. SWEENEY et at (four cases).
(Circuit Court'of Appeals, EightQ Circuit. June 5, 1899.) Nos. 1,212-1:215.
ApPEAT,-NECESBARY PARTIES.
Railroad subcontractors have an interest in a decree holding them liable jointly with the principal contractors and the railroad company for the purchase price of the materials supplied for their use in constructing the road, ,and establishing a lien on the road therefor; and an appeal from such decree cannot be entertained unless they are joined, or an order of severance obtained;
Appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of South Dakota. N. K. Griggs, Henry Frawley, J. P. Laffey, and Charles F. Manderson, for appellants. Charles W. Brown, Eben W. Martin, and Norman T. MasoIl, fur appellees. i, Before CALDWELL l1lld THAYER,Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM. "These are suits which were brought by Thomas the value of certain blasting maSweeney, 'the appellee,
terials which supplied by him to Chamberlain & Skinner, Carroll, Donoghue & Co., and to Nathan Westcott, who were, respectively, subcontractors under John Fitzgerald & Bro. for the construction of certain sections of the Grand Island & Wyoming Central Railroad Company, lying within the state of South Dakota. John Fitzgerald & Bro. were the original contractors with said railroad company for the construction of its entire line of road, and sublet portions of the work to the three parties above named, who are hereafter referred to as "SUbcontractors," and who, in turn, purchased from Thomas Sweeney, the complainant below, certain materials for blasting purposes, which were consumed in the construction of the several sections of the railroad which they had respectively contracted to construct. Under and by virtue of the laws of the state of South Dakota (Comp. Laws Dak. 1887, c. 31, § 5469), the complainant claimed to be entitled to a lien upon the railroad for the value of the materials which he had so supplied to said subcontractors. The present suits appear to have been brought to obtain a judgment against the several. subcontractors to whom the materials were supplied, as well as a lien, to secure the payment of the judgment, against the property of the railway company. The decrees which were eventually rendered in the several cases in accordance with the prayer of the complaints ascertained and fixed the amount which was due to the complainant from the several subcontractors to whom the materials had been furnished, and adjudged that the amount so due be paid by the respective subcontractors and by the defendant railway company within 30 days thereafter, and that in default of such payment the property of the railway company to which the lien attached should be sold to satisfy the respective amounts so as aforesaid found to be due from the respective subcontractors to the complainant. From these decrees in the respective cases the defendant railway company and John Fitzgerald & Bro., the original contractors, have appealed, without joining the subcontractors as appellants, and without obtaining a judgment of sever· ance against them, and without giving said subcontractors any notice Whatsoever, so far as the record discloses, to appear and join in the appeals, or to refuse to so join. Upon the face of the record, the several subcontractors, to wit, Chamberlain & Skinner, Carroll, Donoghue & Co., and 'Westcott, have an interest in the decrees which are challenged by the respective appeals, and will be affected by a reversal of the same. The SUbcontractors, according to the provisions of the decrees, are jointly liable with the railway company for the sums therein found to be due and required to be paid. The decrees conclusively establish the amount of their indebtedness to the complainant, and further adjudge that they, as well as the railway company, shall pay the amount of such indebted· ness to the complainant within a specified period. It is manifest, we think, that the subcontractors who have neither joined in the appeals, nor been requested or notified to join therein, have a direct interest in the question raised by the several appeals, namely, whether the railway company as well as the subcontractors shall be required to pay the several debts which have been ascertained to be due from
FEDERAL. REPORTJ!lR.
Qr whether it discharged f!om that the solely liable for such mdebtedJt be said, we think, from an inspection of this reo" ord, t4at the subcontractors who have not been joined as appellants have no the question wbether the lien is upheld or denied. For these, reasons, therefore (that is to say,. because all perin the decrees. have not been sons who,appear ·to have an made parties to the appeals, or beengiren notice to appear and join in the appeals, or otherwise defep4 their the several appeals must be on the 'strength of the following cases: Trust Co. v. Clark, 49 U. S. App. 571, 27 C, C. A. 522, and 83 Fed. 230; Trust 00. v. McClure, 49 U. S.App. 46, 24 C. C. A. 66, and 78 Fed. 211; Dodsonv. Fletcher, .49 U. S. App. 61, 24 C. C. A. 69, and 78 Fed. 214; Masterson v. Herndon, 10 Wall. 416; Hardee v. Wilson,,146 U. S. 179, 181, 13 Sup. Ct. 39; Davis v. Trust Co., 152 U. S. 590, 14 Sup. Ct. 693; Gray v. IIayemeyer; 10 S. App. 456, 3 C. C. A. 497, and 53 Fed. 174. It is so ordered.

With manufacturers beginning to get into MWC mode, we can expect plenty of big and small names to make their presence known before the event. One of them is Taiwanese manufacturer Acer, which has just posted a teaser for its upcoming smartphone. The company took to Google+ to post the teaser and gave away very little information on what to expect from this mystery smartphone. By the looks of it though, it seems like the manufacturer will have a high end flagship as well as a few midrange offerings to show off. Acer mentions that this new smartphone will join its popular Liquid range of smartphones.
The teaser reveals an odd looking sensor right beneath the camera, which could be very interesting to check out next week. We're guessing it's a fingerprint scanner or an IR blaster for multimedia support, so Acer's event next week is certainly going to be closely observed. Manufacturers like Sony, Samsung and LG are also expected to take center stage next week when the MWC kicks off, so we'll make sure you get all the information on device announcements here on The Droid Guy.

Coats Masterclass
Coats Masterclass
This is the must-have guide to this season's glam coats. It's the most expensive purchase you're likely to make this season, so here are our top tips to ensure you get it right for your body shape.
Macs: The perfect between season cover-up. Forever stylish, and sophisticated the Mac has come a long way. Perfect for pear or hour glass shapes that really want to show off their waist. Or if you're full chested, wear open and tie belt round the back to create shape whilst elongating figure at the same time. Do invest in a bold colour for real impact! Bold checks, or tweeds are a great way to make a statement and disguise lumps and bumps.
Duffle: The Duffle coat is an ideal weekend option and will suit most body shapes depending on the size of your chest. If you're pear shaped, opt for a cropped version or one that's nipped in at the waist. Avoid if you're large chested or broad shouldered as the tie-button detailing will make you look boxy. If you're tall and skinny, longer line coats with patterns or checks will add bulk and fill out proportions.
Parka: The Parka is easy to wear for most body shapes and ideal for the UK climate - but choose one that isn't just plain black for a point of difference. To really look the business, opt for one in a metallic finish - to give it a more glamorous finish - which will mean it's more versatile day and night.
Always choose one that's got shape in the waist, either with gathered detailing on the sides, suitable for apple shapes or belted suitable for pear and hourglass shapes. This will make it more chic than sloppy.
Ladylike coat: Another classic coat shape that's ideal for disguising lumps and bumps. Given the way that this double breasted style is tailored to fit around the bust and then flares out, skimming over the tummy before ending conveniently mid thigh makes it perfect to wear with any length skirt or trousers.
If you're bottom heavy, opt for one with large buttons and distractive detailing towards the top of the coat, to draw the eye upwards. If you're large chested, opt for long clean lines devoid of detailing but fitted in the waist and wear open to create length and slim proportions.
Fur: Whether you approve of the real deal or the faux option - there's nothing quite as glamorous as a Fur coat. Fur tends to add bulk, so choose a simple single breasted coat with plunging v-neckline for large chested ladies. If you're looking to disguise a stomach, choose your coat by the pattern. One with vertical detailing will help disguise a rounded tum. If you're curvy in the hip department opt for a ¾ length coat with contrast collar and button detailing to draw your eye upwards. If you're lucky enough to be tall and slim, this is the perfect coat for you as it will add volume in all the right places. Only to be avoided if you're broad shouldered.
Military: Stand to attention in this season's must have military coat. The perfectly tailored military coat is a flattering shape for all. Ornate or simple, the clean vertical panels and line seams of this style coat create a long and lean silhouette on any height or size woman. No matter whether you opt for a belted or plain fitted version, funnel neck or small fold down collar, always bear in mind double breasted is best for smaller chests whilst single is best for large. Brass buttons may look decorative but will create the illusion of extra width on larger frames so preferably choose dark ones to match coat. Look out for added volume in the skirt for tall slim shapes.
Invest in a personal shopping day with one of our expert personal stylists to guarantee you look and feel fantastic this season.

At that indoor meet in February 2011, Jones was in the "Super 60," a 60-meter race pitting pros from various non-track sports against each other. As you can see in this video, Jones more or less toyed with the field en route to winning in 7.00. His competitors included a former NFL player, Anthony Dorsett, Jr., Olympic bobsledder Steve Mesler, and a former Major League Baseball player, Junior Spivey.
Jones' winning time of 7.00 doesn't look so great against the winning time from that evening's elite 60-meter race, 6.52, by Nesta Carter of Jamaica. Then again, Jones likely could have run much faster if he hadn't thrust his right arm into the air 30 meters into the race and run that way to the finish.

Zadar IV is a planet in the Zadar system. Zadar IV has large oceans filled with fish and other marine life. The planet is home to a human colony with a population of 6 million. The planet is also home to an Earthforce academy and a secret merpeople kingdom.
The kingdom was revealed when several young colonists met the princess of Atlantica, Ariel. The children began seeing each regularly, talking about their different civilizations. Eventually, the king of Atlantica found out and attacked the children, the princess was the only casualty. The princess was taken to a medical facility on the planet and revealed to John Gill. She then said she wished to live on the surface world with the colonists, Dr. Gill used a forbidden technology to help transform her into what she liked, as long as it was female. She chose the form of a human female. After eighteen months, the colonial government discovered the attack and decided to go to war with the Atlanticans. However, the younger colonists and the princesses intervened, the battle was quickly halted and both sides united to defeat a large monster. Eventually, the merpeople decided to relocate to an uninhabited planet, knowing that if they continued to live on Zadar, it would interfere with the colonists way of life. Some choose to stay behind, while others were relocated to the world of Gideon.

"My daughter was admitted to Shugbourough ..."
About: Stafford Hospital Stafford Hospital Stafford ST16 3SA
Posted by Pam (as ),
What I liked
My daughter was admitted to Shugbourough ward to have a broken arm reset. The ward was clean, and the floor cleaned twice on the day we were there. all of the staff were lovely, and explained things thoroughly to my child as well as to me. I feel that she received excellent care on the day.
What could be improved
When I took her to her first outpatients on Tuesday morning we saw a different Doc from the one we were scheduled to see, as he hadn't arrived for clinic. The Doctor we saw was great, but said that he couldn't fit her in to the theatre list that day or the next, although he did comment that he was surprised that she hadn't been admitted as an emergency case on the Sunday when we first brought her to A and E. Her arm was in a back slab and she wasn't in pain, but the thought of having it reset ws distressing for her (and for me!), so it would have been nice to get it out of the way sooner.
Response from Stafford Hospital 9 years ago
Thank you for your comments about the care provided at Stafford hospital, we will make sure these are passed on to the staff of Shugborough Ward.
The Trust has dedicated time in theatre each day for emergency surgery and cases are prioritised based on their clinic need. It is not always possible or clinically safe to carry out the surgery on the day emergency cases arise. As a result patients are either admitted to hospital to be observed prior to surgery, or if appropriate discharged home to come in for their surgery at an agreed time . We appreciate that this can be a distressing time, whether the patient is in hospital or at home and we continue to do all we can to avoid delays.

I can't see my avatar
I can't see my avatar, but it seems like other people can. Would anyone happen to experiene the same and know how to fix that?
Do you have "disable avatars" checked in your settings area?
Mine's set to "no"
Hm..well I can see your avatar so there are only two things I can think of right now that may be causing it.?
:/ hmm, dunno which one it could be. I was able to see my last one just fine. Thanks, though :)
Sometimes it takes a little while for it to load fully. I've seen yours though. The last one was E.W with a mustache. 😜
Yeah, me, my brother, and his bf somehow got onto making a bunch of E.W. puns on FB. Like What started it had nothing to do E.W., but we made it happen x3 I didn't really want to change it, but apparently it was confusing people as to whether I was male or female, so I just changed it to a picture of my cat acting as a hat.
People are crazy if they can't recognize Elijah. His sweet little face is and should be known worldwide. 😮

NFL Player Devon Still Gives 4-Year-Old Daughter Leah the Sweetest Pre-Surgery Pep Talk
UPDATE: "After a 5hr 50min surgery the surgeon was able to remove ALL of her tumor and all of her lymph nodes and her right adrenal gland where it all started from…best news I've received in a long time #PrayForLeah #GodIsGood #ThanksForYourSupport," Devon Still wrote on Instagram.
On Thursday, the athlete's little girl underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. Before Miss Leah checked into the hospital, though, dad delivered an incredibly sweet "pre-surgery pep talk" he posted to Instagram. "I'm gonna ask you again," he says to his daughter, sitting behind him in the car. "I'm ready for today. You ready for today?"
Leah grins, clearly loving her father's enthusiastic encouragement.
"You ready to get this cancer up out of you?" Devon asks, eliciting another smile and an "mmm-hmm," from Leah. "Let's do it! Fist-bump!"
Then, the daddy-daughter duo do a non-contact fist-bump in in their reflection. And while you'd never guess it from Devon's actions, the 25-year-old was admittedly "nervous and scared beyond words," he wrote, "but I'll never let her see it…let's get this done!"

Anyone but a job-killing Democrat.
#27538 Apr 4, 2014
what trickled down was intelligence, and you are the poster child of ignorance.
your economic lessons came from Family Guy re-runs.
you had to catch the trickle down yourself.......you actually had to get up off the couch to do so.
Corporations are hiding money from rats like you, and not hiring because of your uselessness.
It takes 20 weeks of training to enable you to line a trashcan with a trash bag and you still can't do it.
PS: corporations are taxed at 35%. Highest rate on the globe.
#27539 Apr 4, 2014
I can see it taking 20 weeks for them to train you to line a trashcan. They'd have to stand over you guiding you step by step countless times before you'd finally get it. With mommy standing right there cheering you on.
#27540 Apr 4, 2014
Don't you have a time travel suit to buy?
#27541 Apr 4, 2014
So exactly what line is it that asks for insurance policy info? Is it line 25- Health savings account deduction. Attach form 8889? That's ALL I can find on mine that even closely relates.
Oops- Line 29- Self employed health insurance deduction? I suppose your form is different than everyone else's. You little liar you.
United States
#27542 Apr 4, 2014
this country hasn't had enought time off to have the republicans back in power again, republicans will never be back in power never again, you got that, i said you got that republicans will never be back in powers again..... haaha :)
#27543 Apr 4, 2014
were you jacking off in the corner again?
use the other hand while pretending a woman desires chit as a mate.
#27544 Apr 4, 2014
That's not correct. Since the insurance mandate didn't take effect until 2014, why would it be included in your 2013 return? Here's the word directly from the IRS website: "For most people, the Affordable Care Act has no effect on their 2013 federal income tax return."
You really need to quit making up stuff. It makes you look bad, and makes us suspect the veracity of everything else you post.
#27545 Apr 4, 2014
old man.....Today I mailed in my taxes.
cadillac insurance plans are taxable.
you need to remove your head from the sand and wake up.
your above post is of a uninformed child clueless about reality.
yes I am flat out calling you a liar with all my love.
#27546 Apr 4, 2014
Ahhhh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Look at that cowardly dog desperately crawl on his belly for those corporations. Lazy trust find babies like you had your big day in the sun. Hardworking, taxpaying and proud American voters shut your little game down, boy. Don't you EVER forget who whooped your retarded @ss. Now pay them taxes, clown. Pay them real purdy like, while the nation laughs in your kookie little fringe group face and pray every day of your life that you doomsday bible bunker kid lovers don't get that big old 2nd Amendment revolution you guys keep hinting at because the working man would be shipping your country club sissy @ss down the express lane to Jesus.
#27547 Apr 4, 2014
Typical conniving fringe group flunkie. Get's busted telling multiple lies and answers back to it by calling everyone else a liar. Hell, even the right wingers on here know Old Guy isn't a liar. You however, are viewed as an anti-American domestic terrorist, a lazy trust find sissy and a habitual liar and that's just what your wife thinks about you.
#27548 Apr 4, 2014
Nailed it. Everyone knows they don't like Obama because of the color of his skin, and every bogus scandal and corporate provided emailed Tea Bagger propaganda outrage is just a vent for the fact that they can't openly voice their racism in modern society anymore.
#27549 Apr 4, 2014
Let's be perfectly clear who the liar is here:
#27550 Apr 4, 2014
Here's what the IRS says about that:
"Individuals (employees) do not have to report the cost of coverage under an employer-sponsored group health plan that may be shown on their Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, in Box 12, using Code DD.
The amount reported does not affect tax liability, as the value of the employer contribution continues to be excludible from an employees income, and is not taxable. This reporting is for informational purposes only, to show employees the value of their health care benefits."
Why the insults? I've treated you with respect here. This is not a matter of opinion, but simple, easily verifiable facts. Do you think the IRS website is mistaken about these issues?
#27551 Apr 4, 2014
I hate Obama because he is a communist muslim queer. Not because he is half white.
#27552 Apr 4, 2014
Never say Never.
#27553 Apr 4, 2014
#27554 Apr 4, 2014
only in your fantasy of ignorance.
do you need me post Obama's campaign lies for you chump?
leach like you make only good fish bait.
otherwise....useless is very descriptive of you.
enjoy you miserable existence.
#27555 Apr 4, 2014
your entire family tree.
fact check with your address......slum.
#27556 Apr 4, 2014
Don't minnows, worms, and maggots make good fish bait? I don't think leach is the only good fish bait. In fact, I'm not sure how one would get leach onto a hook.

There are two restaurants on Palm Island which are both open sided to make the most of the setting. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, The Royal Palm Restaurant serves a range of international cuisine using local produce where possible, and hosts live music most evenings. A more casual choice is The Sunset Restaurant, set right on the sand and serving lunch daily and dinner on certain evenings. For something special, a private beach picnic can be organised and set up on one of the more isolated beaches.
Guests at Palm Island Resort may spend their days by the lagoon style pool or on beachfront sun loungers, taking in the stunning sea views. Those in search of activity can go snorkelling in the warm Caribbean waters, take part in a range of non motorised watersports or explore the island on foot or by bicycle. Rocky trails lead up small hills which boast panoramic views across the island and out to sea, while shady hammocks are located in secluded beachside spots.
Due to its location in the heart of the Grenadines, guests are in a prime position to visit the surrounding islands so we suggest an evening sunset cruise, a lobster lunch at Petit St Vincent and a day snorkelling the Tobago Cays. This is a world renowned snorkeling and dive spot known for its extensive marine life including turtles.
In June 2016 Palm Island opened a new beachfront spa overlooking the beautiful Caribbean Sea. It has two treatment rooms, one of which has a jacuzzi on the terrace, perfect for stargazing or watching the sunset over the Grenadines. The spa is offering two product lines; Aromatherapy and their all natural Blue Naturals range which contains Hibiscus, also known as 'Botox of the Caribbean.' They offer a variety of relaxing treatments, a perfect addition to your relaxing holiday at Palm Island Resort.
With much birdlife, ground lizards and iguanas among fan palms, hibiscus and over 2,000 coconut palm trees, Palm Island Resort offers a true Caribbean experience in the Grenadines.
Palm Island Resort & Spa will be closed for renovations and upgrades between 1 July - 31 August 2017.
Palm Island is unbelievably beautiful, with vibrant turquoise seas and perfect white sand beaches lined by swaying palm trees.
Wherever you are staying, the stunning beach is never far away. Most of the accommodation is simple and typically Caribbean, while the beachfront suites are being refurbished in 2017 to become more contemporary.
If you can bear to drag yourself away from the beach, take a bicycle to explore the small island where iguanas roam freely and hillside trails boast remarkable views over the resort and out to sea. It takes just 5 minutes to cycle from one end of the island to the other. When you're in need of some shade, hunt out one of the hammocks which are found in beautiful, secluded spots around the island – some breezier than others!
I would also recommend a visit to the spa, a recent addition to the resort which is set on a picture perfect stretch of beach with friendly therapists who use the spa's own products, flavoured either with hibiscus or frangipani.
Last but not least, make sure you take advantage of the island's spectacular setting and take a boat trip to the Tobago Cays for a spot of snorkelling with turtles – a wonderful experience!

Short Version:
I don't know what time of day on March 6 I was born, but I do know my mother had a reuben and thought her labor was indigestion. So here I am.
Long Version:
Born in Boston and moved to a Philadelphia suburb in New Jersey in the '80's, I did what most kids did at the time; played on my Intellivison, rode my bike, hung out at the mall and baked on the Jersey Shore. At the same time, I studied classical piano and dabbled in cello, violin and flute while my mother took me to the symphony and musicals in New York. A combination of my parents' thick Bostonian accents, a love of reading and bit of traveling saved me from the tri-state area mall-chick drawl. Teenage summers were spent studying fine art at University of the Arts and Rhode Island School of Design. My cousin, the painter Lawrence Kupferman, provided support when I informed my worried parents that I'd rather go to art school than a traditional University.
In the fall of '93 in Florence, Italy, I studied jewelry with renowned metalsmith, Betony Vernon. During this time, I found myself caught in a political rally in Rome with five rolls of film. That event changed my life. (The whole story of that day can be found in the blog.) From then on I was a terrible jewelry student; photography won out.
At the age of 21, The Times of London offered me a photojournalism internship. Being a young, female press photographer got me knocked around and shoved at many an assignment, but I loved every single minute. Acting on the moxie of standing strong with the jaded British photogs, I talked my way into photographing the tour of my favorite punk band, The Damned.
Traveling in Europe and living so close to Philadelphia and New York gave me the opportunity to be influenced by original works. Hours spent in the Duchamp room at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, repeated visits to gaze at the Arnolfini Marriage by van Eyck, sitting for prolonged periods of time in front of Bruegel's 'Hunters in the Snow', all influenced the 'Untitled Works' series, shot on infrared film and hand printed on fiber paper, each image a monoprint.
Following graduation from Rhode Island School of Design, I spent a few years in Philadelphia where the 'Untitled Works' series began before moving to San Francisco in 1999. Since then I've lived in California and collaborated on projects with filmmakers, poets, writers, musicians and dancers. I fell in love with the desert (thanks to Burning Man), the Land Art Movement and landscape imagery which serves as my canvas for studies in compositions and thought. My recent artistic influences include Michael Heizer, Donald Judd, Yves Klein and the sculptors working in fire art installation in the San Francisco Bay Area. In short, my work is evolving.
At present, I freelance with SIPA Press and have begun a documentary project to save the Cheetah, telling the story of man's conflict with this beautiful predator and the fight for survival. For more information and news on how to get involved, including upcoming cheetah safaris, go to Cheetah-Watch.com.

There he spent 16 years in various sales and sales management roles, both in the field and at the corporate headquarters where he worked in a financial consulting role for corporate clients. During his years at IBM, Curtis maintained his entrepreneurial spirit by partnering with colleagues in the operation of three Hungry Howie franchises.
