Dear Coleagues, The idea of this Project is to share experience on the way of joining our children to the art. Together we will walk the road to the Art. Let's stimulate children's interest in nature beauty during different seasons. Let's show how celebrations and seasons reflect children's creativity. Let us create in children willingness to share with each other celebration feelings.

2012 was an awesome year for me in terms of adventure runs. While I didn't take video clips on every adventure, below are all the videos I did create this year in chronological order. It's nice to see them all in one place as there is over an hour in aggregate total footage. For best viewing, make sure to adjust the quality setting as high as your internet connection will allow (HD is best). I'm also in the process of completing a coffee table book of the mountain photography highlights and it will be great to actually see physical copies of some of my photos. Check back for a post recapping the year's adventures with my favorite images and a few words before the end of the year.

The Lord will destroy those that continue to practice homosexuality and that don't repent along with the rest of this sinful world. The Bible is perfectly clear that homosexuality is wrong and it's so unnatural. 1. Two members of the same sex can not reproduce, 2. Tradditional marriage is between a MAN AND A WOMEN ONLY for those who like to twist facts around and third, it's just plain gross and is not a natural gene, but a choice. Scientist could not proove that it is a natural feeling, but a choice. It's Unholy and UnGodly and is an abomination Unto the Lord almighty God AND GO AHEAD AND MOCK ME ALL YOU WANT! You will just be shooting yourself in your own foot because all of these facts are unable to be twisted and changed because it's written down in Black and white. And the Lord is coming back really soon and how sad it will be when He throws all of the wicked that have rejected him into the very pit of Hell. It's time to wake up America! The Lord is not happy with our country right now and he will bring destruction if we do not return back to him.
- November 3, 2008 at 1:58 AM
Not saying this in an arrogant way, but you really need to get right with God because in these last days, it would be wise to return to Him before that day comes because this is the time that we are unsure of what day Christ will return. Those who choose to continue their ways will find death, destruction, eternal seperation from God Burning in Hell with Satan and his demons, and spiritual death, Along with The Great tribulation from God. If you think I'm nuts about saying stuff about he'll, your the one that's nuts. I dare you to go on you tube and type in "The End Times" and include the quotation marks and watch all 7 videos in numerical order, and you'll know what I just said was Biblical truth. Be wise, watch and learn, repent and serve him. He will bless your life as you walk with him. He saved me from my sin and my life has joy, purpose, peace and guidance. You can't get life better than that.
- November 3, 2008 at 2:13 AM
If you write against what I just wrote, your pretty much an idiot without any type of sense and I don't take that back. And yes I'm a child of God(christian) and i stand up for what's right in his eyes and you should also. Excuse my language, but This blasted world has nothing for you and this makes me so angry that innocent people like you get sucked into all of this hoobaloo and this is not something God approves of. Seek him for your life please! He loves you and wants to have a relationship with you, but can't cause he hates your sin and that's the roadblock from him
Getting to your heart. he sent his son Jesus Christ do die a death we were all suppose to face because of our sin, but christ took that punnishment for us and now because of that sacrafice Christ did for us, we can have a relationship with God now and be saved. If your interested in a relationship with him, please find a solid Christian to pray with you to be saved or if you don't know anyone, just simply pray to God and ask him to send you someone to pray with you and he will. Following God is so much better than following this dark world. Trust me.

VOTE YES on PROPISITION 8!!!!
The Bible clearly states that marriage should be shared between a man and woman.
Marriage is a sacred thing.
Sexual intimacy should only be enjoyed between a man in a woman in a marriage.
Anything else outside of that is a sin.
- November 3, 2008 at 11:18 PM
- Queers United said...
anonymous - that is your bible, i dont believe in the bible, and others interpret the bible differently. plus we have a separation of church and state.
if marriage is so sacred why are 52% of heterosexuals getting divorced?
prop 8 will not eliminate sex between gay couples, so thats a silly assertion.
vote no on 8.
- November 3, 2008 at 11:50 PM
I have an answer to the fool who dared asked the question "why are 52% of heterosexuals getting divorced." number one, Whether you agree or not, marriage Was Made By GOD and that's true fact( read genesis in the Bible for proof) and was made for only A MAN AND A WOMAN and marriage was already a religious term and a sacred union between the opposite sex, so don't even think about lying saying that it isn't sacred, because it is and you know it, yet you choose not to admit it . IT'S ADAM AND EVE, NOT ADAM AND STEVE! second, it was made by God so that man and women can be together in harmony and to glorify God. And third, 52% of married couples get divorced because they don't understand that being married simply means to unconditionally devote yourself to your spouse (of opposite sex) and to love them no matter what. And the main causes of divorce in this country are the following: selfishness, cheating, lying, abuse, and the most important, not serving God together. If a married couple chooses not to glorify God in their relationship, then things become unstable and thus problems arise. God is the substance that fills a married heterosexual couple's relationship to eachother and a real traditional marriage without substance is just trash, useless and destructive. And what people don't understand is that whenever a couple decides to marry, when they both stand and pledge to eachother, they are not only making a commitment to eachother and proclaiming their bond in public, but They are making a Holy vow unto God and when they don't keep that vow safe, things go wrong. And Marriage is only between a Man and woman only. Gays can't change that, that's how it's been, that's how it's going to be and that's how it needs to be. So build a bridge and get over it. I have said the truth and my back up is the Word of God and I mean that with an Iron fist! I stand firm upon the Bible and every little detail and word in that book is 100% true and is the guidline that our stupid country needs to start following again. It's people like you that bring down our country by saying these evil satanic things! You seriously need to think twice about what your saying is complete rebellion against the one and only true God who is very capable of wiping out this entire wicked planet within a second and you better be prepared to have a valid argument when you attack one of Gods children like me, because many people that our on Gods side of this battle will tell you this same thing. I am saying this right out of my very soul and my job as One of God's children is to show others the truth which he hath spoken in his word. And I don't give a hoot if your just another worldly liberal, But what I am saying is pure rich truth AND YOU CANT CHANGE THAT! Good day and good grief!

Ya nailed it!
- December 13, 2008 at 1:50 PM
What a blasphemous video! What a stupid homemade christ rebelling video! How dare you take Gods powerful pure holy word and make it your own to please your filthy Godless lifestyle! You are such a dipwad for leading others astray from God and you don't even know squat about the Bible if that's how you think it's interpreted. You honestly have no ounce of Knowledge about God and his very nature according to that dumb video. If that is what your doing then your a real enemy Of God! As of right now, if you have not already humbly turned back to God, your on your way to Hell. You are a stupid satanist who doesn't know squat about The Bible and you have just taken little tiny bits of it and made it fit what you support! Duh. I come from a strong Pentecostal church and I certainly know more than you about the Bible to know that the core values of the book are against homosexuality. You can debate and share with me your two cents worth opinion on how you as a Satanic liar view the Bible, and I won't care and will probably once again shove the truth down through your closed mouth down your tiny lying throat. When judgement day comes, all will be judged by God according to what they have done and will be held accountable of what they did here on earth during the time they had lived here. And Unless you turn back to him asap, you will be judged along with this unrepenting world and you will be punished for leading others asray and when he serves justice, it is not a fun moment, intact it's so bad that on a scale from 1 to 10 from from one being good and 10 being bad, it's about 37. And you can tell me I'm a religious freak And I need to stop trying to preAch, I ain't preaching, I'm telling you the truth. Read revelations in the True Bible and it will all make sense. You know what's wrong with this video. Delete or fix it and make it right. You've Got some nerve to Go against God. When you try to battle him, and his word, you will lose and be will bring you to your knees.

I didn't make this video, I do not believe in the Bible.
- December 16, 2008 at 12:52 AM
don't care. The fact is is that people are believing it to be true when it isn't. By you allowing it to be on this looser website has led at least one person down a false path to hell. Whether yoy think so or not, Your held accountable to whoever gets sucked into this garbage and for you on your part, that's very scary. It's ashame and I can't do anything about it, but God sees all and what happens and he never forgets about what happens and will judge you according to your won't deeds. You may not believe the Bible, but it's true, just like the entire book is. The only valid reason you have to not believe the Bible is that you just don't like what it says cause it contradicts what you do and support. It's been proven to be true and has been a rock throughout centuries and has been backed up by Christian and nonchristian historians and historical artifacts. The book of the future Is the only true prophetic historical book that talks about events that will happen in the future and tribulation will happen whether you choose to believe it or not. If my God said it will happen, THEN IT WILL HAPPEN! And when Christ comes, it says every knee will bow and tongue will confess that he is Lord even the ones that hate Christ.

Um that's nice, many devout Christians are gay and lesbian. The sinners are the ones who aren't loving as the Bible taught. Regardless I believe in the Bible no more than I believe in Moby Dick, so your words fall upon deaf ears. Why are you on a queer website, aren't you sinning by being here?
- December 16, 2008 at 10:35 AM
Wrong. As usual. # 1, im straight and if im trying to correct whats wrong and put in the given truth, thats not a sin. #2 True Christians abide by God through his word and are always suppose to be hetero. There is no such thing as a gay christian. You can't serve God halfheartedly. Your either with God 100% or your automatically on the devils side. There is no middle ground in this battle and God even says so in his word. We love God and we try to reach out to people that do not know him and right now i may not sound so nice and loving because I have posted some stuff that is contradicting and harsh, but My job is to make sure that really nip it in the bud. God is a loving God and he wants you to come back to him. If your not aware, true Christians have his holy spirit living in them and be speaks to us through his spirit. When you turn to him, he will open his arms to you and will take you in as his child. And I honestly don't know you in person, but I feel that he wants me to tell you that no matter how far you have gone from him, he still loves you and wants you to become his little child. On a personal level, I was just like you. I was lost, heard about Christianity, but thought it wasn't cool and was just a bunch of rules and phony religion. But someone prayed for me one day and one evening, I went before him and asked him to forgive me of my sin and to make me his own child and my friend let me tell you the moment before I finished my sentence, he filled me with his spirit and completely changed me inside and told me that he has a plan for my life. Now life is a complete overwhelming source of Joy, peace blessing and full of Christ. I can walk in him and know that he is by my side and that he speaks his love and protection into my life.
- December 16, 2008 at 1:06 PM
And im not going to throw stuff at you anymore because that's enough, but I want to tell you that it's never to late to turn to him. He will expect you to do your best to stay away from the things of this world, but when you come to him, he will fill you with his very spirit and you'll want to please him and hate what he hates. Even though Idk you, I still don't want you to go to hell, and unfortunately it's a real place. I believe that God allowed me to find this website to speak to you. O how he wants you back and he thinks the world of you and wants to give you a happy joyful sin free life. You will never regret turning to him once you see him come into your life. He made you for a specific purpose and idk what that is, but he will tell you if you come to him. I can't make you turn to him, but I can only advise you. He will never leave you, nor forsake you once you turn to him and I'm a living testimony for that because he did that for me.
- December 16, 2008 at 1:20 PM
Your very special to him, but he can't get to you until you return to him. If your interested, there's a very powerful, yet cool song called "return" and you can buy it on iTunes for 99 cents. The artist name is Dorinda Clark cole and she is a annointed woman of God. Trust me. God is Good and he is merciful and full of grace. Whatever he speaks is true and he
Will bless you, but you have to want to change and you have to want to leave your lifestyle behind and you need to know that without Christ sacrifice, your guilty of going to hell.
- December 16, 2008 at 1:42 PM
Your probably going to tell me off, and that's fine. But know that he says he's here for you, but at the same time, there are not many days left. I'll pray for you and may God bless you.
- December 16, 2008 at 1:53 PM
- Queers United said...
Know that my God of tolerance, is here for you. You can leave your "heterosexual lifestyle" anytime, just pray hard. If you don't you will goto hell.
- December 16, 2008 at 2:13 PM
I'm already the only true Gods child. I have a real relationShip with him and name is Jehovah and he saved me. I talk with him everyday and he is always with me and I can feel his comfort in my life. You can go to him and become saved if you would like
- December 16, 2008 at 3:54 PM
Plus because he's the one and only true God, he rules overall and reigns over heaven and earth. He works out everything for good for those who love him and that strive to serve him.
- December 16, 2008 at 4:13 PM
- Queers United said...
I too have a relationship with God, I talk to him, and he is totally accepting of the way he made me - gay.
- December 16, 2008 at 4:21 PM
He did not make you gay, you chose to be that way. The reason why you feel that way is because Satan has tempted you and you gave in. Before I became a Christian I faced the same thing you are facing now. But i have never really told anyone that I was being tempted in that area. Fortunatly, I overcame what Satan through at me and you can do the same. Now, there's no need to tell that to anyone because I'm a new creature in Christ and the old has gone and the new has come. I am my new spiritual self and techically In Gods eyes, I have never went down that road even though I did in the past. I don't know if your a guy or a girl, but God put a natural desire for the opposite sex inside of you and that's a Godly desire. Satan hates God and tries to get us humans to be confused and to the opposite of what Saddens God. Satan is the bad guy here, not God. I know this from experience and right this very second I have just realized now why God allowed me to go through that long ago.

Satan is tempting you to be heterosexual, see the light don't be fooled by the lies of scripture! Repent!
- December 16, 2008 at 9:10 PM
I am a hetero sexual and I'm not sinning. To be honest I think you need to see the light. Open up the word and get into it. Or are you just mocking me. The Biblical scriptures do not lie so why are you saying that. Who brainwashed you?
- December 16, 2008 at 11:05 PM
Seriously what your saying is invalid and not true. Why are you lying? One of ten commandments says thou shalt not lie. So why are you doing it?
- December 16, 2008 at 11:09 PM
I'm trying to explain this as clear as I can and your just mimicking me. K obviously this is just getting thrown back at me for your own amusement, but I tried my best and i've told you everything you need. You go ahead and you do what you want to do and mess up your life. My best advice I have Is don't run from God, but turn to Him before it's too late.
- December 16, 2008 at 11:18 PM
I'm out. Later.
- December 16, 2008 at 11:20 PM
O ya and one more thing. If you are ever asked if someone had told you about Jesus, dont lie and say no because i just told you and when God will ask you that when that day comes, you will say I have heard it but I have never accepted it. He makes sure that we all get a chance at eternal life in himbbefore the rapture comes, but you have to accept it for yourself, it's not going to get spoon fed to you. You have to take it and apply it to your life and live after him and have a relationship with him. That's what being a Christian is all about, not just going to church. They way you can tell someone is real Christian is when they are acting like it. Actions speak louder than words and a true Christian displays the fruit of the spirit in their life: love joy peace patience kindness faithfulness gentleness and self control. And real Christians also stay away from the things of this world such as o I don't know homosexuality. That's how you define a true Christian, but you have to be careful when you meet people down the road that say they are Christians, but they don't display the fruits in there life and they go and live like Hell on a daily basis. A majority of the country says they are Christian when actually a minor percentage of America actually is Christian. The term " Christian" is a common label that non Christians wear to make themselves look good, but true Christians act and march accordingly to Gods drum beat. Don't be mislead by false Christians. This world is full of lying snakes.

o and according to your comment, I'm going to hell. You have no clue to what your saying and if you want to experience a real sample of hell,
Go on YouTube and type in with quotation marks, "sounds of hell" and click on the video that has a picture of a plain blue backround with white writing on it. The user of that video is jars92. However this video is very intense and will probably shake you to your core. It has put people in the hospital because it's so real and frightening, but it's true and I didn't do too well myself when I watched it. This is a warning from God and this is a real video. This is no joke and millions of people are there.

If you have any health problems resulting of fear, than I would highly advise you not to watch it. Its so scary that hollywood has nothing compared to this. This is a real thing and is still going on as we speak.
- December 18, 2008 at 2:10 PM
I have trouble watching it myself. It's so scary and it not only scares me physically, but the satanic tormenting fear it stirs up scares your very soul. I have seen it and I have been terrified of it. When you watch it, there is no visual display of hell while the video is playing, but the sound clip they play you is from the firey Gates Of Hell and is so real that no man can make such a sound here on earth. But honestly, this is a video that can do medical harm depending if your easily frightened or how you take it. It is a very satanic clip, but we all need to hear it especially the ones who are not following Christ so that they know what there getting themselves into. And you mocked me in the following comments above, but you will find out how serious this is and how bad this is. Just the sound clip will be 20 times worse than any rated r movie you will ever see. Except for the passion of the Christ. You shouldn't play this for anyone under 14 years of age because eerie sound will make them cry there eyes out and they wouldn't understand what it's about.

first off i am Christian, and homosexuality is a sin, but so is adultery, theft, rape, taking the LORD's name in vain, as well as countless others, the fact is in God's eye's all is sin is equally bad, but everyone of us are His children, so i am tired of hearing "God hates fag's" and all of that other stuff, now i don't exactly support homosexual marriage, but i support no sin, but everyone does it. but i also want everyone to know that true love is only found in God, no where else. so homosexuals are no worse then any other person who wilingly sins, if u know ur lying but do it anyways, if you know ur commiting adultery but do it anyways, if you kill someone and do it willingly you are just as wrong as any homosexual. and to tell the truth i am tired of people abusing the word of God, the word of the LORD. all sin is equally looked down upon. but just as any man who kills or steals can ask for forgiveness so can a homosexual. for all you Christians out there who truly believe that "God hates fags" you need to re-read the word of your Father, God does not hate anyone, he loves us all, as should each and every one of us

a son - i thank you for your input, and while i disagree that homosexuality is a sin i respect your right to that opinion. I would ask though that you support us in civil marriage rights. A church has the right to deny a same-sex couple if it violates their tenets, but the civil government should grant marriage which provides state and federal benefits amounting to 1,138 rights.

It's really ashame that the real definition of marriage is being attacked and trying to be used to promote a behavior that is destructive, fake, unnatural and immoral. Just too bad. whatever. It's not marriage no matter how much you people try to fight for it. The chances of it ever becoming true marriage is slim. It's your small community against many powerful forces: The Bible, Ethics, the constitution, American familes that strive for a normal household environment, and the greater percentage of the country's population who agree with the rest of society that anything being described as a marriage that is not between a man and a woman is just a bunch of crap. The chances of the Homosexual community winning this rather pointless war, knowing that it is impossible to outsay all 5 forces regarding this situation, are 1 out of 10. (My opinion based on facts)

After mowing through the Tim Hortons Brier field with ruthless efficiency, Glenn Howard's team held off a tenacious Brad Gushue of Newfoundland and Labrador 6-5 on Thursday.
The defending champions remained alone atop the standing at 8-0.
While Howard's Coldwater and District Curling Club rink had yet to mathematically secure a playoff berth, eight wins has made the cut every year since playoffs were introduced into the Brier format in 1980.
"That's got to get us into something," Howard said. "We've just want to keep the pedal to the metal now and keep building on how we're playing."
Howard has skipped Ontario into the playoffs seven straight years and won the Canadian title in 2007 as well as last year in Saskatoon. His teams also lost in the Brier final four times during that span.
The top four teams at the conclusion of the round robin Friday make the Page playoffs with ties for fourth solved by tiebreaker games.
Seven wins has been enough for playoffs at the Brier some years, but not enough for those teams with four losses to feel very confident about their chances.
Ontario and Newfoundland were the frontrunning teams this week, but Gushue's St. John's rink dropped to 7-2 with the loss to Howard. Manitoba's Jeff Stoughton moved up to 7-1 with a 6-5 win over New Brunswick's James Grattan.
Quebec's Jean-Michel Menard was 6-2 ahead of Northern Ontario's Brad Jacobs at 5-3 heading into Thursday evening's draw.
After losing four of their first five, the host province was still in play at 4-4. Alberta's Kevin Martin thumped Eddie MacKenzie of Prince Edward Island 7-2 for the hometown team's third straight win.
Alberta and Saskatchewan's Brock Virtue, also 4-4, were to meet at night. Should Martin keep winning, it sets up a high-stakes Friday night draw when the four-time Canadian champion faces Howard.
Howard, third Wayne Middaugh and front end Brent Laing and Craig Savill all had shooting percentages over 90 against Newfoundland, who as a team curled 85 per cent and produced crowd-pleasing shots.
"We had to work for that one because Brad wasn't going away," Howard admitted. "I thought that was one hell of a curling game. It was a fun game to play and we won by a couple of inches."
Gushue's third Brett Gallant executed a spectacular raise triple hit in the eighth end. In the ninth, Howard answered Gushue's double raise takeout to lie two stones with a finesse double tap to lie 2.
Howard had the hammer coming home with the game tied at 5-5. The Ontario skip made a draw to the four-foot rings for the win.
"You've got to take advantage of every single chance they give you and they don't give you very many," Gushue said.
While Rexall Place spectators are enjoying Martin's resurgence, Newfoundland also had their support against Ontario.
"We do have an Alberta player and half of Newfoundland is living in Fort MacMurray or Grande Prairie," Gushue pointed out earlier this week. "If we can be second-favourite at this point we'll take that."
Grattan's loss to Manitoba dropped New Brunswick to 4-5. Jamie Koe of the Territories fell to 3-6 with an 8-7 loss to B.C.'s Andrew Bilesky. B.C. was 1-7, P.E.I. was 1-8 and Nova Scotia's Paul Flemming was winless in eight games.

For more on the junk economy, see this slideshow.
There's a neighborhood in New York City that has always been a mystery to us. Smack dab in the middle of Manhattan, around 29th street, is the wholesale district. There you can find rows of narrow storefronts packed to the ceiling with trinkets. Racks and racks of fake gold chains. Acres of souvenir lighters and walls of belt buckles. Plastic, plastic, plastic toys.
It's not surprising that these things exist. But why would you sell all this cheap junk from stores sitting on some of the most expensive real estate in the world?
It's not as if we make it here. Most of it comes from Asia.
And it's not just to sell this junk to New Yorkers. We just don't need that many key chains.
The trinkets are here because this stretch of Midtown is a hub in a vast global network of junk. When stores in Africa or Latin America or the Middle East run short, they come here.
The biggest reason is one of scale. Small stores in developing nations can't handle a whole shipping container filled with thousands of rhinestone bracelets. They only need a few. So the people in New York's wholesale district order the big loads and sell the bracelets by the dozen.
Still, why does it have to be stored in Manhattan and not in a warehouse in New Jersey? Why can't the buyers just get it over the phone or the Internet?
We ran into a Nigerian businesswoman in a cheap perfume store in the area and asked her. Kemi Alao was buying for her boutique, Lasting Impressions, in the town of Jos. She said it's hard to send money electronically from Nigeria and make sure you are getting what you paid for. Even when she flew directly to China, she said, she found that she couldn't trust the quality.
Alao says it's much easier to bring cash and some empty suitcases to New York and buy stuff in person. That way you can tell if merchandise is flawed or counterfeit. And you can look people in the eye when you do business.
For buyers like Alao, New York City makes logical sense as a trinket hub. It's easy to get to this city from the rest of the world. And once you get here, everything is close together. Alao can't drive between warehouses in New Jersey. In Manhattan, she can walk a couple of blocks and see hundreds of different stores. The more customers, the more stores pop up. And the more stores, the better the selection.
But like any hub, this neighborhood is only as strong as the network around it. And in the past few years, the businessmen in the wholesale district say, it's been getting tough. It's not just the economy. Since the Sept. 11 attacks, it's been harder to move money and merchandise in suitcases on planes. And the City of New York has been cracking down on parking and making it harder to ship in the junk.
In any other type of business, these stores would have already moved out of Manhattan. But the wholesalers fear the African and Latin American customers would never venture out of the city to find them. And so they stay. Better to huddle at the crossroads than to be off alone in the middle of nowhere.
The great cities of the world were often built at the crossroad. A place where trade routes came together and people could do business face to face. But even in this Internet economy, new crossroads pop up all the time. Our Planet Money team found one in a neglected stretch of midtown Manhattan. NPR's Robert Smith had a look.
ROBERT SMITH, BYLINE: The corner of 29th Street and Broadway features one of those classic New York splits. On one side of the street, we have the Ace Hotel. It's a boutique joint with $500 rooms. On the other side of the street, is this collection of tiny stores that sell the cheapest trinkets and stuff you can imagine. But it turns out the two sides of the street are actually both in the same business: getting people together.
I'll show you what I mean over here on the cheap side. David Hong has a brand new store. It's packed with wigs and hair extensions. And his big plan is to buy fake hair from one side of the world, Asia, and sell it to the other side of the world, Africa.
DAVID HONG: From Africa, West Africa.
SMITH: Why do you need a store? Can't people just buy these on the computer?
HONG: Because this kind item is hard to figure out, you know, quality.
SMITH: So people want to touch it. They want to see the hair extensions. They want to flip through them, hold them, look at the exact color in the light.
HONG: Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
SMITH: OK, so why open a store on 29th Street if you want to reach Africa? Hong tells me it's not the location. It's the customers. African businesspeople fly across the Atlantic to come to this corner to buy cheap products, to sell in their stores back home. And they can get anything: candy-colored watches. Embossed lighters, belt buckles, fake gold chains.
Around the corner at a perfume store, I ran into Kemi Alao. She lives in Nigeria. She's looking for stuff for her boutique.
It would seem crazy to people to fly all the way across the ocean to the United States to buy perfume. Can't you call them up on the telephone and say send me a package?
KEMI ALAO: Yeah, you can. You can do that. Though sending money sometimes is so difficult from Nigeria. And then, sometimes you want to know who you're dealing with.
SMITH: Alao wants to use cash. She wants to look people in the eye. She wants to make sure products aren't shoddy or fake. As inefficient as it seems to use 29th Street in Manhattan as this global crossroads, she hasn't found better way.
Now, oddly enough, the cool crowd across the street at Ace Hotel, they're doing the same thing. The lobby of the Ace Hotel, in the mid-afternoon, seems like an outpost of one of those new media conference. There're cool, young people lounging on sofas tapping away on laptops.
For instance, Ariella Cheskis-Gold is planning a music festival. She's not staying at the hotel, she just uses this lobby for meetings. And just like at the hair extension shop, it's not the location. It's the crowd.
ARIELLA CHESKIS-GOLD: Any one of these people I could strike a conversation up with and we'll find something. And, you know, it could lead to another job. It could lead to another freelance opportunity.
SMITH: And this lobby did not happen by accident. Alex Calderwood, the co-founder of the hotel, says he set out to create a crossroads here. He can fill his rooms and charge a premium, if it feels more like a creative scene. So there's the free Wi-Fi, the curated music.
ALEX CALERWOOD: You want the hotel overall and the public spaces to be sort of a catalyst for interaction. I personally have just always believed that, like, energy attracts energy.
SMITH: Energy attracts energy. That could be the motto for either side of the street. The bracelet stores attract the hairweave joints. The Ace Hotel attracts new clothing boutiques. Real estate being what it is, you could predict that maybe the hip stores will push out the wholesale business.
But both side of the street actually face a common threat. When you build around a crossroads, the big risk is your customers will find a shorter route, that they'll bypass you completely. The trinket sellers, they're already seeing fewer customers, as China figures out better ways to get their products directly to Africa.
And the Ace Hotel, they have to worry about what happens if they lose their cool. Ariella Cheskis-Gold says she used to work at another hip hotel lobby, but the vibe changed, so she picked up her laptop and she left.

From The Illusion Of Life
A live performer has charisma. An animated character has appeal. Appealing animation does not mean just being cute and cuddly. All characters have to have appeal whether they are heroic, villainous, comic or cute. Appeal, as you will use it, includes an easy to read design, clear drawing, and personality development that will capture and involve the audience's interest. Early cartoons were basically a series of gags strung together on a main theme. Over the years, the artists have learned that to produce a feature there was a need for story continuity, character development and a higher quality of artwork throughout the entire production. Like all forms of story telling, the feature has to appeal to the mind as well as to the eye.
I agree with all the 12 principles of animation that Frank and Ollie present in The Illusion Of Life. I believe them even more than they do. Their number 12 principle is "Appeal". I might put that as number 1.
The main element that separates a cartoon from other forms of art is its simple appeal. It is all the tastiest parts of visuals paired down to the essential elements that bring instant pleasure.
Without appeal to draw you into the cartoon, you might not find out what else the cartoon has to offer. (I know the philosophy is different now, but that was what cartoons meant when they were invented-visual fun. The fun parts without the boring and ugly details of life.)
But what exactly is appeal? It's a hard concept to define. It starts with cuteness as its basic atom. Cuteness in a simplistic definition is usually "attributes of children and young animals". Big heads, big eyes. Smooth soft finish. The attraction to those proportions is genetically programmed in us. We have to learn more about ugly old men before we decide to like them, but most of us automatically like puppies, kittens and kids....and once upon a time....REAL cartoons.
Mickey Mouse is sort of the standard for simple cuteness, although not every animator draws him cute. Freddie Moore sure does.
Buy the color Mickey DVD if you have little kids or cartoon historians running around the house and you want to calm them down!
Here's a cartoon from 1947 that stars Mickey, yet Mickey is not very cute in it. The differences between cute and nasty Mickey are very subtle. Mickey is actually a really hard character to draw. If you get any feature off just a couple micro increments, the cuteness disappears.
In the 50s Freddie Moore came back to Mickey and gave him an updated more modern angular design. He also restored his cute appeal.
Strangely, they didn't bother to update Pluto. They left him as bland and unappealing as ever.
Of all the Warners directors Clampett had the cutest most eye catching appealing style.
It's ironic since you don't usually equate crazy edgy stuff with being cute, but that's what made Clampett's edginess so engaging. It's like a bunch of cute innocent looking characters getting away with the nasty stuff we all think about. A great combination!
Clampett aimed his cartoons at the general public. Little kids love them because they are cute and funny and really energetic.
Older kids like 'em 'cause they are twisted, edgy and surreal.
Clampett inspired Virgil Ross to draw in a cartoony and appealing style.
Scribner had the cutest most natural, unaffected style of all the animators at Warners-while at the same time being the most exaggerated animator. My biggest drawing inspiration!
Clampett got McKimson to do the most appealing drawings of his career.Adults like them because they address their most important concerns.
A cartoon drawing should have appeal, but appeal sure isn't an easy ingredient to describe or define.
It starts with 'cuteness". But the word "cute" has lost its meaning.
McKimson not cute or "appealing"
Funny as Hell but not cute...
Look at the giant pupils! An instant cute symbol.
Chuck Jones Faux Cute Style
His early cartoons aimed at little kids and Moms.
His "middle period" was a lot funnier as he aimed at more general audiences. His style got less cute, more handsome I guess-a grown up cartoon style. It's still great drawing, though.
At the end of his Warners career he reverted to very cute, only this time aimed at critics, rather than kids.
Eventually he turned even the stock WB characters all into cutesy characters.
Friz not very appealing
In the next installment of Appeal, I'll talk about how to draw gross and "pretend-ugly" stuff in an appealing way! Don Martin and Basil Wolverton will assist.

Is that Blues Clues I see on her cute little boots? My two year old is obsessed with it, she asks to watch morning noon and night.

This photo reminds me of when we had foster children.....little boys 4 & 5, who were just delighted with their brand new tennis shoes from Walmart, because they came to our home with no shoes. When we went in to check on them and cover them up after they'd gone to sleep, they were holding their shoes just like that.

You know, all the pictures you show of Brooklyn are these sweet, angelic shots. I can't imagine a temper tantrum in that sweet soul.

Those boots look a whole lot more cuddly than the plastic Polly Pocket and My Little Pony toys my daughter has slept with already. This is one battle that was definitely not worth fighting. Good for you!

As long as there wasn't any dog poop or such on the soles of those boots, of course. ;-)

All three of my kids wanted mommy and blanket and they usually got what they wanted. Now my 6 yr old has 21 webkinz, her blankee, coloring book, 3 pillows and mommy gets to wake her up in the morning. She is such a lucky girl. Brooklyn is adorable. You're such a lucky mommy.
- December 4, 2008 at 9:51 AM
Kids and their woobies! My now 14 year old used to sleep with a large plastic shovel. Yep. A shovel. You know, in case needed to dig up something... he was ready!
Definitely save this one for when Brooklyn is about 15 and you can share it with her friends... she will just love you for it! he he...
How are you all doing with the snow? Hating it yet???
I read through your blogger comments from 2 days ago... Austin is such a hoot. BTW Austin, I like pie too.

I have a picture of my baby (now 4y) sleeping with Baby's First Chainsaw (yes, a toy). He'd "helped" in the yard with a fallen tree and we'd found the toy among a bunch of handed down toy tools. They were inseparable for a while.
- December 4, 2008 at 11:20 AM
What a doll! Makes me wonder what she's dreaming. Where are her magic boots taking her? Hmmmm...
- December 4, 2008 at 12:19 PM
Totally unrelated to the adorable pic of Brooklyn....but what is "Go Back and Be Happy?". I see you will be attending the launch party in January.

Hmmm....and she doesn't sleep in her bed....she sleeps with you. So...you got to sleep with the boots too lucky you! HaHa
My little guy insisted on having a flashlight and a tube of Carmex with him the other night. Comfy!

That is so funny! and so sweet that she's so happy just with her favorite boots!

How cute! But I need to ask- are you referencing Steve Martin in The Jerk?("and this paddleball game..)

Dawn, I read about your plight trying to find a wii fit. Try checking Craigslist. Here in the DFW area people are trying to sell them left and right, some for pennies on the dollar. Anyway, just wanted to get that suggestion out to you.

I love it. With a first child, we maybe would not have let them sleep with boots. But after the first, you wanna sleep with boots, go right ahead. My son used to sleep with his hat on everynight.

Cute and dare I say that must be one awesome pair of snowboots! I want some!!!
- December 4, 2008 at 8:27 PM
When my daughter was a toddler I always took a moment to watch her sleep, she was so sweet and innocent looking (boy, are looks deceiving.) Then when she woke up and was her normal terrible self, I would pull out that innocent sleeping image and know she wasn't totally possessed yet! So I've come to the conclusion that kids looking so cute and adorable when they sleep is a defense mechanism. It keeps them alive when they're at their worst because we remember those cute sleeping moments and know the kids are not beyond hope.

Cute photo!
Here is a Sunday Sound Out question. I have the same camera that you use. Do you use the automatic settings or do you use some of the manual adjustments? The only one that I have used is the one for low light.
Your pictures turn out great so I was curious.

- FreeSpirit said...
Ok, Dawn. Where are your new sheets, comforter and other Linden Street things? I am supposing that Brooklyn is in your bed (don't they seem to sleep better in OUR beds?). I just hope you didn't bail out on treating yourself to the new bedroom decor. You so deserved it!

That. Is just ADORABLE! lol

HA! A couple of days ago a friend and I were just talking about little ones taking the oddest things to bed with them. So many cars they can't get into the bed. Screwdrivers, sprockets, rulers...you name it.
Here's the pictures of her little guy...asleep with the laundry basket over his head.
- December 5, 2008 at 1:58 PM
How funny! This is something my two year old would do. It's crazy the things they want to sleep with.
- December 5, 2008 at 5:45 PM
My brother would sleep with his hockey helmet when he was in grade school. I always laughed at him but I guess some kids just love winter; NOT ME.

I went in to check on my littlest and found him sleeping with his garbage can, just like that. They must be related. But obviously, mine's a boy.

Controlling Parents More Likely to Have Children Who are DelinquentFebruary 17, 2012
Authoritarian parents whose child-rearing style can be summed up as "it's my way or the highway" are more likely to raise disrespectful, delinquent children who do not see them as legitimate authority figures than authoritative parents who listen to their children and gain their respect and trust, according to new research from the University of New Hampshire. "When children consider their parents to be legitimate authority figures, they trust the parent and feel they have an obligation to do what their parents tell them to do. This is an important attribute for any authority figure to possess, as the parent does not have to rely on a system of rewards and punishments to control behavior, and the child is more likely to follow the rules when the parent is not physically present," said Rick Trinkner, a doctoral candidate at UNH and the lead researcher.

Orioles - 000 010 002 - 3 7 2Lester (7-5-1-1-7, 100) stymied the Orioles yet again -- and his teammates struck early for an easy victory.
Red Sox - 400 020 03x - 9 14 0
Lester loaded the bases in the top of the first with one out, but got Adam Jones to GIDP to wriggle out of danger. After that, he was solid. Jones was the first of 10 straight batters Lester set down through the fourth. He gave up a run on three hits in the fifth, and retired his last seven batters. Ramon Ramirez and Robert Manuel finished up.
RBI doubles from Kevin Youkilis, J.D. Drew (2 RBI), and Daniel Nava gave Boston a 4-0 lead in the first. Yook blasted a hanging slider over the Wall for a two-run dong in the fifth. Two more run-scoring doubles in the eighth, from Mike Cameron and Ortiz, along with two errors pushed the Sox's lead to 9-1.
In addition to his two doubles, Ortiz also singled, walked and scored twice. Drew doubled, singled twice, and walked. Nava had two hits and Eric Patterson singled, walked, and scored twice.
The Yankees scored 11 runs in the third inning this afternoon and beat the Blue Jays 11-3. The Rays beat the Twins 8-6. The East standings remain the same: Red Sox 0.5 GB, Rays 2 GB.
Guthrie and Lester faced each other on June 5, when Boston scored six runs in the ninth and won 8-2. Guthrie also started in Fenway on April 23.Scutaro, SS

This year, I spent a ton of extra time organizing my desk. This is a serious desk. It's massive and I like to use it for all sorts of purposes. It's my go-to workspace when I need to spread out. It's even more convenient for me to use it than the dining room table because it's out of the way from the rest of the fam. Once, I got it all set up the way I like it, I realized the lamp I have there is terribly outdated. My mother glazed it in a ceramics class before she even had me. It's a great mustard yellow shade, but it just doesn't go with the decor of the space. I also need to make sure I have enough light over there. My desk is in a space near a window, but it's tucked away where it doesn't get a ton of light. So I'm not really looking for a typical desk lamp that only shines down onto the surface of the desk.
In my search for the perfect lamp, I came across the table lamps at CSN Stores! Talk about selection! They have so many different styles and shapes to choose from.
I especially love this Clear blue glass lamp with the nickel finish! It has such a beautiful contrast between the blue glass and the metal.
|Uttermost - 27862 - Meena Clear Blue Glass Table Lamp - $191.40
|Pacific Coast Lighting Table Lamp With Shade - $119
I've been going through the selection of lamps on CSN Stores and it's taking me a looong time! There are a ton of great looking lamps in there at a variety of price points! There are also lots of overhead lighting fixtures as well. Whatever kind of lighting you're in the market for, you'll find a great assortment here. I love the search features on the left side of the screen too. You can customize your search for lighting type, color, shade style, price, etc. There are a ton of options so you can search for exactly what you're looking for!

What can be better then the combination of a gorgeous woman like Mirta and a whole lot of baby oil?
Well, to be quite honest nothing comes to mind! In this very special film we catch a glimpse of Mirta as she makes good and sure that every inch of her body is covered in baby oil. Then, as if to show off her achievement she takes a little time to pose for the camera, letting her hands glide around the slick surface of her skin.
A little warning may be in order as this film is not for the faint of heart.
