Hi all,
It's my first post here and I hope it's the right place also for my thread.
I haven't found any work shop locally, South Africa, that can get me going on figure drawing principles and was hoping someone could give me some book advice.
I know practice is possibly a big portion of the journey but I just don't know where to start with it...
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

From Jamaluddin Muhammad in Caracas (From Bernama of December 20, 2006)
CARACAS, Dec 20 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has denied buying a RM30 million boat as reported by a newspaper in Turkey recently.
Translation of article (from Rocky's Bru):
Malaysian Prime Minister, Abdullah Ahmed Badawi arrived in Bodrum yesterday to see his boat which he ordered four months ago. Badawi arrived in Bodrum at 1.30 am with a private jet that belongs to Malaysia Airlines.
The head official of Milas, Bahattin Atci, and Malaysian businessman Ananda Krishnan, who is the sixth richest man in Asia, welcomed Badawi. Kamil Sezgun, who is the director of Kobra Yachting and Tourism Ltd Co, was also present.
Badawi and his friend Krishan went to Gokova for fishing with a luxury motor yacht belonging to Kremala Holding, which was brought over here from Malta. The luxury yacht "Obsessions" is 40-meter long, made in the Netherlands and the captain of the yacht is Cavit Kabak. The yacht was anchored in Milta Marina.
Badawi said he loves Bodrum and south Aegean and the Mediterranean so much. It's a great pleasure for him to be here fishing and resting on the line (horizon) that connects blue and green (ocean and land).
The boat will cost 8 million dollars
The boat is made of Akaju, Maun, Sipo and Brimanya's tree which is imported from South Africa. It is expected to be completed in 16 months. Some 60 people are involved in the construction of the boat. The boat will be delivered after 12 months (since he ordered it four months ago). The capacity of the boat is for 14 people and the length is 44 meters. The boat will cost 8 million US dollars.

Featured Artist : Bobby and Jolene Wellard
Artist Bio / Statement
Bobby and I have been Tie Dying for going on 13 years now. It all started when I (Jolene) bought a small kit on a clearance rack and brought it home with intentions of making colorful magic. The results were not quite as magical as we had envisioned in our minds, but the passion and love for this art form took hold. I soon started searching on where we could get Procion dyes in larger quantities and found Dharma Trading. I fell in love and immediately started my shopping for new colors and new canvas' to create on. We were soon buying pounds of dye at a time and working on perfecting those images that we held in our minds. We have grown so much over the past 13 years and Dharma is still one of our finest suppliers of dye and clothing blanks. I love the new items that they always tempt me with. We love creating new designs and strive to make others' visions come true through custom orders and requests.
Now 13 years later with many miles traveled through the summer months, with lifelong friends made and 3 boys added to our family we are still going strong on our love of color and spreading happiness wherever we go. Our motto has never changed throughout the years it is "Happiness Through Color" and we absolutely love what we do.
We love to share our love of color and teach others our art as often as we can. Every year since his preschool year we have dyed with our sons school class and they all get such joy out of their creations. We love seeing our passion spread to others and soon will be hosting birthday parties and tie dye party nights in our own studio.

Back when we first found out about Zyr Vodka, we were pleasantly intrigued by their ballsy claim to be the best Russian vodka ever. There's nothing wrong with a little hubris when you're marketing a product, and we like how they went right for the top. Of course, when you make a claim like that you have to have some pretty serious chops, right?
Just think - in so many people's minds, Russia is the home of vodka. Hence, saying you're the best Russian vodka ever is some pretty heady stuff. Zyr relies on their 9:5:3 ratio (nine filtrations, five distillations, three tastings) for every batch to get to the level of quality they're trying to achieve.
Does Zyr live up to our drastically inflated hopes? Read on to find out.
Imported Russian Vodka
80 Proof (40% ABV)
Typical Price: About $30 for 750ML
The Look:
Zyr vodka itself is as clear as a nun's conscience, end of story. The bottle is an elegant-looking blue affair with some kind of etching on it...one of the most distinctive bottles we've seen in a long time. Definitely a standout from the rest of the clear frosted vodka bottles you'll see on liquor store shelves.
The Nose:
Clean, with a hint of lemon peel.
The Taste:
Thick and tasty, with a slightly peppery taste we didn't expect (probably from the rye that's used as one of the grains in its creation). It had a thick mouth feel, tingly and crisp, with a sweet finish. We liked it neat, and liked it more on the rocks. And not that we recommend this entirely, but it works very well as a mixer. Like incredibly well. We've never drank a vodka that disappeared so entirely into the drink...you pour it in, and it tastes like you didn't add any booze at all. Seriously - try it...it's kind of freaky.
Oh, and rumor has it you can make a spectacular martini garnished with a pickle, but we didn't try it yet.
The Verdict:
We're not sure if it's the best Russian vodka ever, but it's certainly one of the best we've ever had. Good character when you need it, but not overpowering when it shouldn't be, this is a versatile and damned fine spirit.

Diligently paying off debt is no easy feat. It takes perseverance and dedication to hand over your hard earned money like clockwork each and every month. The bonus is seeing all that hard work paying off each time your balance gets lower and lower until finally you've gotten that debt completely paid off. This is why the Debt Snowball Method is one of the more widely used methods of debt repayment. When you pay off your debts in order of smallest to largest you feel a sense of accomplishment each time you pay one off and can move on to the next. After paying off a balance of $2K on one debt you can look at the next one of $5K and feel empowered to keep going, but what do you do when your next debt is a large one? Most people find that when they start to get to the end of their snowball the amounts become substantially larger and instead of feeling the excitement of tackling the next debt that excitement is now replaced with dread.
If you find yourself in this position here are a few things to keep in mind.
- Remember why you started. Stepping up the plate to begin tackling a mammoth debt can be discouraging and tempt you to go back to just paying the minimum, but remember why you started. Many of us start out debt repayment journeys because we're fed up with our current situations. We're tired of living paycheck to paycheck or not being able to have the option to live life the way we would like. When you get to a larger debt get angry at it all over again and tackle it with a vengeance.
- Stop looking at the Total Amount Due: One of the only ways I can stay sane through this entire process of paying off the mountain of student loan debt that my husband and I have is to not think about the final number. If your student loan has a starting balance of $41K break that down into an amount you can mentally handle. Set a goal for paying off $10K every three months and work towards that. Once you reach the $10K mark pat yourself on the back and start on the next $10K. Before you know it that $41K will be gone and you'll still have your sanity.
- Switch things up: You're probably getting discouraged with paying off debt because that's all you do. Shake up your normal routine, no I don't mean stop paying your debt I mean do other things in your life that will help you take all the focus off of your debt repayment. Get a new (low cost) hobby, start a new series of books, or do something else you find fun and relaxing. Giving yourself a new routine will help you take your mind off the debt and make it a lot more bearable.

Drop of Hope for Thirsty Farm Economy
California's Fields, Parched by Drought and Conservation Rules, Will Get More Water
RIVERDALE, Calif.—There's a trickle of new hope in California's drought-stricken farm economy, as water agencies open irrigation spigots a little more this year, allowing farmers to increase planting and hiring.
After abundant winter rains this year, state and federal officials are increasing water allocations to farmers in California's semi-arid Central Valley. While flows are still far below normal, the increases are a welcome...

Creationist John Mackay gave a talk at the University of Western Australia, and as these wackaloons are wont to do, also expressed lunatic opinions beyond his belief that the earth is only a few thousand years old. In particular, creationism seems to be rife with misogynistic and homophobic twits.
After the lecture many of the attendees stayed for a BBQ and to talk to John Mackay. He made various homophobic comments, including using homosexuality as his go-to example of "immorality" in modern society. In a conversation about the Bible after the lecture, a student pointed out that the Bible condones rape in the following passage from Numbers 31:
"17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that has known man by lying with him. 18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."
Mackay argued that this is not rape, because the girls were forced to enter a "legitimate Jewish marriage" first (after having their family murdered by their soon-to-be husbands), and obviously you can't rape your own wife. Not only is it not rape, but Mackay believes this is apparently not even immoral for God to command this and for the Israelites to carry it out.
Typical. Although it does suggest a new strategy for wanna-be rapists: get ordained first, or have an ordained wingman. Say a few words over your unconscious victim, grab her head and make it nod in agreement, then go to town. One of the results of marriage is the complete loss of volition by the bride, turning her into a meat puppet for your convenience.
Be sure to pick a religion that lets your priestly types say a few words afterwards to annul everything!
Or maybe we should just take religion out of marriages, and all relationships, altogether. It doesn't seem to be a very good guide for moral behavior.

Really good questions….. knowing ins and outs of the process will help you the most in the long run. So the first point to consider is that the item will fall off in August and you can just wait it out.
However if that's not fast enough, just understand these points to removing them.
You can request a validation of the account to all of the credit bureaus AND the collection company, separately, and in writing, to see if the report is in violation of this. I would suggest looking up a good letter online and tailoring it to meet your criteria. In your search, Im sure you will find that in most cases, accounts this old, can't always provide the proper documentation and will be forced to be removed simply as a result of that. So I ALWAYS include a statement of dispute in my debt validation letters so that my credit is at least noted with that statement while I wait for their reply. (credit bureaus have 30 days to investigate a written letter and 45 days to investigate an online dispute; but the company reporting you to the bureaus have an indefinite amount of time to reply unless you state the time frame in your validation letter. 30 days is the norm for a company to reply accepted in most courts should you have to go to court for it)
You should also understand that a credit dispute doesn't extend the time frame from your last payment agreement or payment. Each state has different laws regarding the statute of limitations, and you may be able to simply request that the company stop reporting a debt that they can't legally hold you responsible for.
But also, companies reporting mis-information to the credit bureaus are in violation of FCRA and are subject to fines payable to you directly. This includes incomplete information being reported to the bureaus; like the charge off report with a balance still being listed or closed accounts that are being reported as open.
It's both the responsibility of the credit bureaus and the reporting company to ensure that your credit history is being reported correctly. If it's not, then there are laws that can help you make them make it right.

Turn off ActiveX
Another (yawn) Internet Explorer exploit
Added 2004-06-13
Another Internet Explorer security hole has surfaced:
The security firm Secunia mentioned in the article releases advisories almost on an hourly basis. They test thousands of products, and Internet Explorer is not the only one with problems. Some weeks it just seems that way.
If you're using Internet Explorer, do yourself a favour and turn off ActiveX. Yes, without ActiveX you can't see everything on some Web sites. Pity. You will need to turn ActiveX back on for Microsoft's Windows Update, which needs it to read your hard disk to see which patches you need to install.
But having a fully patched system is obviously not enough. If Microsoft uses ActiveX to write to your hard drive, so can anybody else who knows how.
Having ActiveX on is an invitation for malicious sites to do "drive-by installs" of spyware, scumware, and adware.
Turn off ActiveX. Here's how:
From Settings, Control Panel in the Start menu, or from Tools on the Internet Explorer menu bar, select Internet Options. Click on the Security tab, then the Custom Level button. Then click on the Disable options (there is more than one) for ActiveX. Don't worry, you can reset these choices if you need to.

Chuck Daly pushed the thought far into the back of his mind. It just did not seem possible. The Los Angeles Lakers had Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Karl Malone and Gary Payton, and Coach Phil Jackson to mix it all together. What did the Detroit Pistons have?
Heart? Grit? Determination?
Daly, of all people, knew what those three traits could produce, having led a Pistons team that had Isiah Thomas and a bunch of gritty, determined players to back-to-back N.B.A. championships. Still, despite the small voice in his head, Daly refused to believe that Detroit could outplay the Lakers in the N.B.A. finals.
''I'm surprised,'' Daly said Friday in a telephone interview from Florida, ''although when I saw the Eastern Conference finals between the Pacers and Detroit, I sensed in the back of my mind that because of their defense and rebounding, they had a shot.''
The Pistons, in a major surprise, have taken a two-games-to-one lead in this four-of-seven series. They have done it with defense, much like Daly's famed Bad Boys did in outlasting superstars like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson to win championships in 1989 and 1990.
''There are a lot of similarities,'' Daly said. ''It's almost like déjà vu.''
Back then, when team scoring was much higher, Detroit was lauded for holding opponents well below 100 points.Continue reading the main story
Now, the Pistons are celebrated for keeping teams below 70. Their 88-68 victory in Game 3 was the sixth time in 21 playoff games this season that the Pistons have allowed fewer than 70 points.
Finishing under 70 was a first for the Lakers, their lowest total in a postseason game since moving to Los Angeles from Minneapolis before the 1960-61 season, a span of 523 games.
Daly is not the only one who sees similarities between the two Detroit teams. Ron Harper, who won titles with the Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Lakers, said these Pistons are bullying the Lakers much like the Bad Boys used to do to opponents. Harper, a kind of honorary assistant coach for the Lakers, is watching the games from behind Los Angeles's bench.
''They're smacking us first and we ain't responding,'' Harper said. ''I watch it behind the bench and I can see it. The Bad Boys were here a long time ago, but right now they look like the new Bad Boys to me. They don't have Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn and Vinnie Johnson and John Salley, guys who you know would knock you down, but they are knocking us down right now.''
Detroit's physical play seems to have deterred the Lakers from attacking the basket. After averaging 14.7 3-point attempts a game throughout the Western Conference playoffs, the Lakers have attempted 19 a game against the Pistons. In Game 3, they shot 27 3-pointers, hitting just 6. The soft offensive approach has kept the Lakers away from the free-throw line. They have averaged just 18.7 free throws against the Pistons, 11 fewer than they averaged in their three previous series.
Detroit has also outrebounded the Lakers by an average of seven a game and kept them from grabbing offensive rebounds and getting second shots. Daly said he believed that was the strongest aspect of the Pistons' defense.
''When you don't give up second shots, the other team has to shoot a very, very high percentage, which most aren't capable of doing,'' he said. ''If you don't get second shots, you're going to have a hard time winning games. The Pistons not only have the Wallaces, they have big guards that rebound. That unusual rebounding ability makes them a particularly good defensive team.''
''They play terrific defense,'' said Kobe Bryant, who was held to just 11 points on Thursday, his lowest playoff output since June 16, 2000, a span of 68 games. ''They're aggressive. They get in the passing lanes. They do a good job disrupting our offense.''
During the first incarnation of the Bad Boys, Thomas hated to play second fiddle to Johnson, Jordan and Larry Bird. Now, Ben Wallace, Chauncey Billups, Lindsey Hunter and Mike James have something to prove after being unappreciated elsewhere before settling in Detroit. Tayshaun Prince and Richard Hamilton are out to silence those who thought they lacked the toughness to excel past college. And Rasheed Wallace and Elden Campbell are looking to erase their reputations as underachievers.
It all adds up to one ravenous group of defenders.
''We're just hungry,'' Rasheed Wallace said. ''Just some dog-faced gremlins out there getting down on all fours ready to scrap.''
The Pistons have also used their underdog status as a pick-me-up.
''Part of it's just the disrespect we feel from people not even thinking we had a chance to win one game in this series,'' Billups said. ''We traveled a tough path to get to the finals and we worked very hard, just like the Lakers did to get here, and nobody gave us a chance. It was disrespectful. So we play with a chip on our shoulder.''
Unlike the Bad Boys, who pushed opponents around with the beefy threesome of Laimbeer, Mahorn and Salley, these Pistons thrive off their athleticism, so they can smother Los Angeles all over the floor. Their guards pick up the Lakers in the backcourt and pressure them on the perimeter, throwing the Lakers' halfcourt offense into disarray. The Pistons are strong and athletic enough to guard the Lakers one-on-one, but quick enough to help when a teammate needs it.
''When I get by him to pull up for a jump shot, they have another defender there,'' Bryant said, referring to Prince.
Detroit's ability to help and recover reminds Harper of his old Bulls teams, which hounded opponents relentlessly with Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman.
''They remind me of a younger Chicago Bulls team, where they swarm around the basketball,'' Harper said. ''Wherever the basketball's at, they swarm to it. There are no easy shots. Every shot has a hand up and every guy's got a guy on him. They might be the best defensive team in the last three, four, five years in the league.''
Which could end up making them the best team in the N.B.A. this year.Continue reading the main story

Are Binary Options Good for Saving Money?
The binary options trading industry is one of the fastest growing financial service markets on the globe. A recent market research revealed that binary trading might grows as fast as to become 4 times larger by the end of 2013 than it was in January 2013.
More and more people have decided to invest money in this form of online trading and a large number of people have managed to generate substantial revenues as well. But the question is: Is this form of investment also recommended to people interested in saving money or it's something only for die hard speculators and traders.
How it Works?
In order to answer the above question, we will have to explain what binary option trading actually is. As per the definition on the website http://www.optionsadvice.com/, binary options trading is betting on the future movement of various assets such as stocks, currency pairs and commodities.
For example, if you know for sure that the stocks of company X will increase the next few days, then at a binary options broker you will have the possibility to bet on this event. In order to do so you will have to invest a certain amount of money.
If your prediction will come true, then your investment will be returned to you along with a pretty high commission, usually around 85%-90% of the initial investment. This is different from traditional betting on sports events from the fact that if you have some financial expertise then you will be able to accurately predict your bets.
Is it Risky?
Like any form of investing, binary trading is quite risky. If you will not manage to predict your bets, then you will lose all of your investment. Like said above, you will only be able to win in binary trading if you are somewhat knowledgeable in the world of business and finances.
You definitely do not have to be a financial expert in order to win at this form of online trading. If this would be the case, then only a limited number of people would be able to trade binary options. In reality, these days millions of people trade binary options.
But you DO have to have at least some idea about how the financial system works if you hope to make profits. If you have no clue about these things, then binary trading is not recommended to you because you risk losing your money.
You may naturally also acquire these skills if you are determined enough. For example, at the website http://www.optionsadvice.com/strategy/ you can find extensive material and strategy guides regarding efficient binary options trading.
Another thing you can do in order to learn to trade binary options is to try out so-called demo accounts. Most brokers offer free-money accounts that work and function like real money accounts. With these you can trade as much as possible without actually having to invest anything at all.
After you have tried out all the strategies and tricks given to you by the above linked website and other websites, you may as well decide to invest real money. This is the proper way of trading options online. Never trade with real money straight away from the very beginning!
Is it the Right Choice to Save Money?
Now the obvious question is if this form of online trading is actually suited for people who are only interested in saving some money for various purposes such as retirement, college fund and other issues.
While you can definitely make large sums of money in binary trading, this activity is perhaps not recommended to people who are only interested in saving money. This is because in order to make substantial profits you will have to invest a great deal of effort and research.
It's recommended to those who can take risks
Binary trading is actually only recommended to people who are interested in generating substantial amounts of money while being comfortable with taking huge risks. Most people who are interested in saving money might not be comfortable with taking huge risks.
Saving money involves cutting expenses as much as possible but also eliminating potential risks of unexpectedly losing money. This means that these people are also not necessarily interested in gaining large sums fast.
Not recommended to average money savers
So, as tempting the promises of large gains are, binary trading is perhaps not something that average money savers should engage into. The last thing a money saver needs is losing the money that was slowly saved over the course of multiple years.
However, if you have already amazed a very large sum of money for yourself then perhaps you can give it a shot with some limited funds. Let's say you have saved $10,000 total over the course of one year. In this case you may permit yourself to invest like $500 to $1,000 in binary options.
However, no matter what happens you should under no circumstance go above the limit you have established for yourself. In the unlikely (but still possible!) event that you lose all the $1,000 invested you should IMMEDIATELY stop trading and not invest any further money.
As explained above, binary trading is generally not recommended to average money savers. However, there might be some exceptions such as when someone has amazed a substantial amount of money and is not afraid to lose like 5% of it. But as said, never invest too much since you may as well lose all of it.
On the other hand, if you like taking risks with the promise of gaining large sums then you can definitely try out binary options. But be aware of the fact that you will only be successful if you take this form of online trading seriously and have at least some idea about how the financial system works.
Binary trading is at the end of the day a form of financial speculation and not a method of saving money. – Remember this no matter what decision you make and you should be fine.

As artists age, the content they tend to cover in their music narrows. For some, it allows them to get completely in tune with his subject matter, the associated nuances and audience wants to create music people easily gravitate to. Juicy J knows his strengths and weaknesses as an older artist, which is how we get a song like "Beautiful Ones."
Having been around the globe on more than one trip, Juice is well aware of what listeners want out of him: the chance turn up, drug mentions and explanations regarding women. The last one has been a specialty for the former Three 6 member since his early days, leaving him with a vast amount of authority on the topic.
"Take a look at her bank account
Shorty ain't got a dime
She only get out of bed
So she can twerk on Vine
Time to go get some money, baby
Don't care if you popular
She think she's a model
'Cause she's got 3,000 followers"
Yes, it's safe to say the Juiceman knows about these thots, both young and old, and they're the focus on "Beautiful Ones." He calls out their every move like a sports commentator whose seen every trick in the book. And even though we know what he's going to say, he still finds refreshing new ways to talk about the scandalous birds he's loved before.

---"the decay in the rule of law"--Assange on the national surveillance state
---Grand Theft Auto: RISE
---Full-fledged ubiquity of social media is not panoptic, as it's sometimes mislabeled. Instead it brings about lateral surveillance or 'participatory surveillance,' the many observing the many. It enacts a sort of "horizontal control," inducing us to spy on one another to regulate one another's behavior and generate marketing data. As law professor Eben Moglen declared, 'every time you tag anything or respond to anything or link to anything, you're informing on your friends.'
The ideological enthusiasm for 'participation' disguises the emptying out of privacy, and the inescapable scrutiny and social documentation ushers in 'self-surveillance' — a grimmer way of describing online self-fashioning or identity construction. In using social media, we become fatally aware of how we can sell ourselves and thus intensify self-marketing practices. We put ourselves forward as a brand in order to register in these commercially oriented, quantification-driven systems. As use of these sites become more pervasive and normative, we start to seem to have no choice but to self-brand because it is the only way to take the measure of ourselves." --Rob Horning

And the thing about wanting to be a director, and wanting this to be your artform... Aside from getting a 16mm camera, or Super 8 camera, and making something, which is definitely within your power, and even more within people's power now, to test out these theories. But in the '80s, when I was a young guy, there was no proof of it at all. You could act, and see if there's something there. If you want to write, you can get a piece of paper, and see if there's something there. But if you want to direct, actually direct a feature film, and you've never done anything, it's all theory. So at 3 in the morning, from time to time, you wonder 'Is this a mistake?' You think you might have it, but you don't know. I'm talking about before I literally did anything.

I know how to post a picture from my hard drive. But how do I post a picture of a plant from plantfiles into my journal. The information about a plant that I transfered from plantfiles into my journal goes to it just fine. However, I want a picture to go also. Can that be done?

I know how to post a picture from my hard drive. But how do I post a picture of a plant from plantfiles into my journal. The information about a plant that I transfered from plantfiles into my journal goes to it just fine. However, I want a picture to go also. Can that be done?
The only way to do that would be to save the pic onto your hard drive and then post it from there, but unless the pic in Plant Files belongs to you or you get permission of the owner, I think that would be violating the copyright (I know it would be violating the copyright if you saved it and then posted it to a forum, but since journals are more private I don't know if that makes it OK or not--probably better to ask the person for permission just to be safe, especially if your journal is public). The link between PF and journals right now just creates a hyperlink so you can click on it and be taken to the PF entry but there's no way to get the PF picture to show up directly in your journal.
That's sort of what I though, ecrane3. Thanks for replying. I wonder if Dave or Terry reads these posts? Since the pictures become the property of Dave's Garden and the journals are on DG, maybe a DG administrator could confirm whether or not the pf pics can be posted into anyone's journals. How about it Dave or Terry??????
I think Terry swings by here occasionally so hopefully she can confirm this for you. I know you're not supposed to take someone else's pic and post it in a forum, so if your journal is public I'm sure the same rules apply, my only question would be if your journal is private if it would be allowed then since nobody else can see the journal except you. I would probably ask the person's permission anyway just to be safe, I'm sure most people won't have objections to you doing this as long as you ask them first.
If it is ok to transfer the picture from the plant files to your journal can you give step by step directions?
Hey there maureen1952. Only your own pictures from your computer can be uploaded to your journal. However, if you want to reference a plantfile picture in your trade list, go to pf's and click on add to my want list. A plant file picture will follow you there.

Friday is finally here and what better way to start the day than with a fresh cup of french press coffee. My husband and I are guilty of needed our coffee every morning to function. This morning before my husband left for work he prepared my cup of coffee for when I woke up. What a doll, always looking out for me 😉 I can't argue that I'm a pretty lucky girl to have such an amazing husband.
Cheers to some good coffee and the start to a wonderful weekend!

I had a moment the other day. A moment that you may or may not have had at some point in your adult life.
I'm sitting at the table, thinking about holiday cards and how cute they are… and then it hit me.
I don't have any new family photos. Not even one. Unless you count the countless ridiculous funny faced pictures we've taken over the course of the year.
But those don't count. Because those aren't the "holiday card" photos. I checked my calendar… and, of course, it's full. It's December for goodness sake. Clearly I don't have time to schedule anything with a photographer.
So I did the unthinkable. I DIYed it.
And you know what? It wasn't totally awful!
I won't lie. I was afraid when the thought crossed my mind. But after carefully thinking it over, I packed up the husband and 3 boys and we went off for a little semi impromptu photo session. One hour later and we had more than a few winners. I'd chalk up the pleasant experience to my savvy photography skills but that would be a lie. So how about I tell you the truth on the secret to DIY Family Photo success?
Get a tripod.
Not kidding. I've tried to do photos of the kiddos and me by setting my camera on tables, chairs, rocks… you name it. But there is no way that I'd be able to get a standing photo like that one without a tripod. If you can't enlist the help of a friend to snap the photos, this is a must have. For real. Once you've set up your tripod, the key is to take a few practice shots. Make sure you like what's in the frame. We wanted a traditional Pennsylvania wintery background {minus snow since apparently we're snow barren this year} so I went with this area. I sort of love it.
Use a remote.
Sure, you can do the self timer dance and pray to the Heavens that you'll get positioned just right but I'm telling you… a remote will make taking family photos infinitely easier. You can hide the remote behind everyone else if you need to.
This also makes it easier to take photos when the 3 year old is being difficult. Distract for a moment and snap the photo.
But when all else fails, use the self timer. Just do a silly dance on the way back to your group so the kids smile. Or make some semblance of amused face.
Give your kids a break.
It may just be the family taking family photos but kids still don't like sitting still for all of them. They'll be crawling out of their skin within a few minutes. So make sure you give them some time off. This is a perfect time to snap a few sweet pictures of you and your honey. I mean, how often do you get a chance to be in a picture together??? Take advantage of the moment. Not only will you get a few pictures with your sweetie but your kids will be ready for round two of photo time.
Take time for each child.
Family photos are a drag. But most kids do enjoy being in front of the camera for a moment or two. Especially when bribed. That's right. I totally recommend bribery. My children were bribed with candy. I'm not proud. And look how sweet their pictures came out!
Don't expect perfection.
Yeah. I know. I don't even need to say this. There are going to be moments like this. Where two kids start play wrestling {in their picture clothes!} and the 3 year old has an emotional meltdown {because standing is stupid!}, but you know what? Keep the camera rolling. I'm surprisingly in love with the shot above. Because this is what my life is right now and one day I'll miss it. It'll be nice to have a reminder of the silly things that happened while trying to get one measly photo for a holiday card!
See? That wasn't terrible. What do you think? Would you DIY Family Photos?
Until next time, Happy Wednesday!


text: Hey guys, Thanks for the responses that I received earlier. I'm bringing this post back to the top of the list by reposting. I hope you guys don't mind. But I have few more questions about this mower as I'm getting more familiar w/ it and all. To recap: I just bought a used 2001 Exmark TTHP walk-behind, with a 17 Kawasaki, hydro and it came with a ProOne sulky. This mower has <100 hours on it. I paid $2500 for it. Evidentally, it doesn't have a mulch kit. (Thanks for the picture that was posted earlier.) How much do these things cost? Additionally, I noticed that it doesn't have a parking brake, which is supposed to be standard on this mower. Right? When the ECS controls are in neutral (locked position) and the engine is running and in gear - the mower's right drive wheel will barely turn. The left will is stationary like it's supposed to do, but not the right one. I check into the manual, but couldn't understand how to make the adjustment so that when in neutral, the mower's right drive tire doesn't keep turning. Any idea on how to make this adjustment? Lastly, I noticed that the stickers on the mower says to use Mobil Synthetic oil in the hydraulic reservior and the engine's dipstick say to use 10W30. I thought that you were supposed to use the Mobile Syn. in both the engine and hyd. Right? Thanks again, BAMARED

I want to emphasize this is not a public policy position in support of Schools of Choice. As it is, Lake Orion will be one of the last of the 28 Oakland County school districts to agree to participate in the program. However, given the current pressures facing the district we really had no choice but to move in this direction. Like many decisions being made today, it focused on money.
Michigan's economy, loss of state aid revenue, increased expenses and declining enrollment have taken their toll on the district's school budget. This year, enrollment has declined by more than 160 students from 2011-12 and is expected to decline by at least another 60 students next year. This translates to a loss of over $1.8 million in revenue to Lake Orion Community Schools.
The district and School Board have spent long hours evaluating ways to address the situation. In addition to a number of current and future reductions in expenses, accepting a limited number of students from outside district boundaries on a very restricted basis will increase the district's revenue.
The Lake Orion Schools of Choice program will be open to approximately 175 students in kindergarten through second grade at elementary schools where there is identified space available. We also will be expanding our Learning Options program to accept some students from other districts. I regret that while we had hoped to be able to make this option available to former resident students at any grade level who have attended our schools but whose families have had to move out of the school district, we have been informed by the State that this is not allowable under Schools of Choice.
Like other districts in our region, students participating in this program must provide their own transportation to/from school and those who have been expelled or suspended from their previous districts are not eligible. The Schools of Choice program is in place for one year only, with future authorizations by the Board of Education to be made on an annual basis. Children who are admitted into the program this first year can remain in the district for the remainder of their school years if desired.

Alright. So I stumbled upon this series today and.... wow. I'm hooked. I need more. And seriously, I would love to see this on a network somewhere someday. Honestly, it combines fantasy, scifi and good old fashioned cartoon humor to create what could easily replace many of my go-to-cartoons. Do you have a website? Where do I donate? Where's the Kickstarter? I need more.

Coolest Princesses Garden Cake
I made this Princesses Garden Cake for my daughter's 4th birthday. For the Princesses, I used the Wilton Mini Wonder pan, which makes the 4 skirts. I used cookie sticks and cling wrapped them to the dolls to insert them into their "skirts". The base is a 12 X 18inch sheet cake. This was a big cake, requiring 4 boxes of cake mix, and I went through 5 containers of icing.
I put green icing on the sheet cake first, decorated the skirts, before inserting the dolls.
When the skirts were done, I placed them on the cake, then finished decorating the bodice part of their dresses. (I have just begun Course 2 of the Wilton Cake Decorating classes, so I haven't learned fondant yet, but I think fondant would look much neater on the bodices, then trying to pipe icing).
When princesses were done, I laid chocolate rocks I got at the Bulk Barn as a path for the princesses to be walking on. Then using the "grass tip" I piped dark green grass behind the princesses.
Since I haven't mastered writing very well on cakes, I just found a nice font on my computer, printed off my message and traced it onto wax paper with piping gel.(Before tracing your message, you must turn your paper over, so you are tracing the message backwards. That way when you lay the traced copy on the cake, it will appear "right".) When I layed the wax paper down on the cake, and lightly pressed on it, the clear piping gel remained on the cake as a good outline for me to follow with the pink icing.
I made a few roses and tried to do some swirl flowers in blue and yellow, and then piped a simple shell border around the edges.
The cake was a big hit, but since there were 6 little girls (boys didn't care) and only 4 princesses, everyone wanted their own princess, and instead, I had to try and cut some in half. That was a disappointment I hadn't thought of. Next time, I would buy more dolls and instead of putting them on a sheet cake, just make individual doll cakes. Or have clusters of roses, so at least if some girls didn't get a princess, they could at least have gotten a lot of roses on their piece.
I found the idea of doing the mini princesses on this sight. I'm grateful to have found this website. Great ideas!

text: I received a couple of requests on how to do this, so I figured I post it for anybody else who wants to extract their stock wallpapers for whatever reason. Keep in mind these directions are specifically for my Samsung Vibrant running stock 2.1 OS, so the steps may slightly vary for you. What's needed: Astro file manager with root access. (Root Explorer will work too, but this tutorial is for the free Astro, so steps may be a little different on RE). From Astro file management (download it from the market if you don't have it, you need to be rooted too), press the "up" button until you're at the highest level. Now press "system", then "app", and then find "TwWallpaperChooser" (you'll see two, choose the largest of them, it also has the android icon instead of plain white. I've read that this package file may also be called "Launcher" or "Launcher2"). When the "Application File" window pops up, choose "browse file". Go into the "res" folder, and then into "drawable-hdpi". All your wallpapers are in there. You can either copy the "drawable-hdpi" folder onto your SD card using Astro file manager, or copy individual wallpapers from within. How to copy and paste with Astro: 1) Long click on an item (in this case, the drawable-hdpi folder or an image). 2) Choose Edit. 3) Choose Copy. 4) With Astro, navigate to the destination you would like to save to. 5) Press your menu button. 6) Press Edit. 7) Press Paste (it will be grayed out if you cannot paste there). There you go, you've just extracted your stock OS wallpapers, and you didn't even need the big, red "That was easy!" button. Note: This process will work for extracting other OS files as well, should you be a developer or simply a tinkerer. Be creative with it, but be careful to not remove anything that's needed for your device to operate.

– Bad luck strikes again. Or maybe it's God's providence? For reasons beyond my control life has stepped in requiring me to break my fast earlier than I had planned. Still, I made it five days, so I suppose that's something, right?
– It's difficult to fast anyway but doing so when in your everyday environment, with the everyday cares spiraling around you, is extra challenging. All the more reason to "go into the desert", even if only a metaphorical one.
– I was doing really well this time and I'm disappointed, even a little discouraged I'm unable to go longer at the moment. Nevertheless, doing an extended fast (30 days or longer) is a goal of mine I refuse to give up on.
– Basically – a job opportunity surfaced and I'm not in a situation where I can afford to turn it down because of a water fast. Nevertheless, 2017 is my year and I'm determined to do a long one before December. I have enemies reading my blogs so I wont say too much about the job, only that it'll be largely sedentary and with planning, I ought to be able to work while fasting. That's not ideal, I know, but it should be doable.
– Despite the shortness of the fast, I feel my insulin is balanced, my gut is slightly better off, and I'm no longer addicted to nicotine. I'll abstain from smoke and sugar for the foreseeable future. I want to be in shape again! New job, new body…who knows, maybe I can have a new life too?
Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement and I humbly apologize if I've let anyone down.
I've said it before and I'll reiterate now: I hope to morph this blog into more of a personal, lifestyle type blog. I'm even thinking of changing the name. Something like: "The Alt. Life" or some such? Or…and this is crazy… I'm kicking around the idea of a video "vlog"…a weekly (bi-weekly?) youtube presentation. Not many of those in the Alt. Right at the moment and certainly none devoted to the type of lifestyle / fitness / motivation / book reviews / philosophy / wildlife / martial arts / vocational / etc. etc. stuff I could bring to the table. Still, do I want to trivialize my image and "de-personalize" myself by being a youtube celebrity? (Assuming anyone would even watch)?
Stay tuned…

The Prayer Series // Hope Blooms
"We always pray for you, and we give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all of God's people, which come from your confident hope of what God has reserved for you in heaven. You have had this expectation ever since you first heard the truth of the Good News." (Colossians 1:3-5)
When I fell in love with my wife I was touring the country in a van playing music and she was finishing graduate school. We longed to be together. What's more we longed for the day when we'd consummate our relationship on our wedding day.
We lived in anticipation, and that longing fueled our love and painted each day with beauty and hope.
Hope fuels our faith and our love. Or at least it should. It did so for the Christians
in Colossae. Paul loved hearing about their faithful, loving testimony. This kind of living was fueled by an anticipatory lifestyle—of a people looking toward heaven. That was their hope, the hope of future glory.
does it look like to live in anticipation of the coming glory of Christ? How
would such a longing affect our lifestyle, our choices, our consumption, our priorities?
Is eternity simmering in your heart?
Later on in the letter Paul reminds the Colossae Christians to keep Christ central in all they do: "… that in everything he might be preeminent." (1:18) For Christ to remain preeminent in our lives means he rules as chief over everything. It means he holds the first rank of highest dignity.
This verse resounds in my heart because too often I leave Christ out of my decisions and my everyday living. Pride chokes out the Light of Christ far too often.
And yet daily I press into Him and ask for the courage to obey, for strength to decrease so that he can increase. And when I find myself in that beautiful place where Christ holds the first rank of highest dignity, I find myself pining for heaven and all the glory of God therewith.
Today your assignment is to read Revelation 4-5. In these chapters John steps into heaven and observes a worship service unlike any other. The writing is glorious and will ignite a hope of heaven and awaken the eternity within you.
This passage will draw you toward Christ, the Slain Lamb of God. You will throw up your hands in praise as you sense the Holy Spirit strengthen your faith and galvanize your love.
""Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered …" (Revelation 5:5a)
Tim's authored four books, including the children's book Shine So Bright and the critically acclaimed Veneer: Living Deeply in a Surface Society. He studied beauty in the works of C.S. Lewis for his PhD under Alister McGrath. When he's not scratching poetry, or chasing the scholar's craft, you can find him carving up the trails of the nearest national forest on his Salsa El Mariachi 29er.
He lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with his wife and three pixie-daughters, and two acres of Great Horned Owls.

LuxTag, more then just a Anti-Counterfeit solution (P.S. using Blockchain)
Initially, "LuxTag" was a working title for our invention which we created for the pitch competition of FF17 at the Fintech Payments Conference in November 2016. We had luxury watchmakers in mind — addressing their pain points of their products being faked, stolen and often illegally traded in the second-hand market.
Our team had strong tools available comprising manifold business backgrounds, IT and Javascript/HTML/CSS knowledge. On top of these, the founders have deep going understanding of Blockchain Technology and they play active roles in the NEM Blockchain Technology project.
We had decided to create a blockchain-powered anti-theft, anti-counterfeit solution for the luxury watch industry. And we did.
Our solution came with a bonus feature, which by now has emerged into becoming a core functionality - the big-data analysis of second-hand market sales and repair or service events.
We very soon realized that our system is capable of servicing a larger market than "only" the luxury watch sector.
This is virtually every sector dealing with valuable long-life assets!
Thinking about heavy machinery, manufactures can tag their products to maintain geographical distribution allocations intact and read service update messages from the blockchain database. The automotive industry can create a Certificate-of-Conformity on the blockchain to certify they genuinely manufacture the vehicle on the one hand and allow the enforcement of ownership transfer to be mirrored in the virtual world on the other hand. Even road tax and insurance status could be maintained on the blockchain appended to the vehicle's "account on the blockchain". Road safety and law enforcement agencies can read the information easily.
Or - imagine a world without fake pharmaceuticals. Hologram stickers have been proven to be imitable too easily.
Immediately when we realized the powerful potential of our project - we quickly sorted out our patent application for this system and its technical working method.
Now, we are contemplating between selecting which industry to work with first or to accept a Series A funding in exchange for equity.

Our project uses the NEM Blockchain Technology. Its core allows the mechanisms LuxTag leverages on. You may want to check out NEM, too. Who knows! Perhaps NEM can power your next blockchain startup invention, too?

WoW Music Festival, Norfolk
Friday 7th - Sunday 9th July 2017
WoW is acoustic, roots, ska, bluegrass and everything in between mixed up with a bit of swing and our aim is to bring you the very best of East Anglian web-footed local brother/sister talent and then to sharpen up the gene pool with some class party acts from further afield. WoW is affordable, relaxed, intimate, bijou, family-friendly and adamantly sponsor-free.
We hope you enjoy WoW
Dom, Julie, Geoff
We are really rather chuffed to announce our 2017 lineup HERE
