About the Index
What is The Burlington Magazine Online index?
The Burlington Magazine Online Index is a web-based art-historical database holding more than 40,000 records. It was developed by keepthinking in 2009. The Online Index is updated quarterly and currently covers the period 1903-1992. All the editorial content of The Burlington Magazine - articles, letters, reviews, calendars - and its illustrations are indexed.
The purpose of the Online Index is to provide detailed access to the art-historical information contained in The Burlington Magazine.
The Burlington Magazine Online Index is FREE.
Why should I use the Burlington Magazine Online Index instead of JSTOR?
Through its highly consistent and comprehensive subject indexing, the Online Index far exceeds the free-text searches available via JSTOR.
The added value of the Online Index is:
- Indexing is done by using controlled terms resulting in a consistent coverage of concepts that are expressed in many different ways in the literature (example: artists with different names such as Roger de la Pasture/Rogier Van der Weyden)
- Indexing is done according to well-defined guidelines resulting in a highly consistent product (example: articles on Chinese aesthetics may not have the word esthetics spelled out and referred as 'thought' but they are consistenly indexed as Chinese aesthetics)
- Subject indexing within the Online Index interface allows users to refine searches.
How does The Burlington Magazine Online Index work?
Like other databases, in the Online Index users are able to search and browse. It is possible to search for author, title, date, subject and article type. Searches can be refined by specifying fields and by adding any number of conditions. The route for browsing is by A-Z lists of: Contributors, artists, collectors and art dealers, patrons, private galleries, museums and institutions and buildings
How is The Burlington Magazine Online Index organised?
The Online Index groups single, discipline-specific terms and names under thirteen main categories:
art literature (art historians, art commentators, art journalists and art critics); artists (painters, sculptors, architects, engravers, printmakers, furniture makers, potters, designers, film makers etc.); buildings (churches, cathedrals, temples, country houses, historic houses, castles, stately homes etc.); collectors (art collectors and art dealers); places (geographical reference); dates (chronological reference of an artwork or artist, always given in full, e.g. 1400); private galleries (private exhibitions and commercial spaces); media (painting, sculpture, drawing, engraving, architecture, etc.); museums (public exhibitions and display spaces); patrons (collectors directly related to the production of the artwork); sources (direct testimonies and commentaries of artists' lives and works, could be art historical but also literary or documentary); subjects (other term and names descriptors of the text that are not included in the previous categorisation, e.g., names of saints, generic terms like 'Iconography', 'History', etc.); works (titles of works of art)
Keywords are attributed to texts, according to their content.
Which contents of the Burlington Magazine are indexed and how?
All contents are indexed except the Advertising Supplements.
Three main groups of texts can be identified:
1 - Articles and Short Notices:
This is the main group of articles, lengthy and very often accompanied by illustrations. They are indexed in full, with the greater amount of keywords and they almost always contain references to 'dates', 'places' and media (painting/sculpture etc.). All other keywords are filled in as appropriate for the text.
2 - Books Reviews, Exhibition Reviews, Editorials, Letters, Obituaries, Publicatios received
This group of texts are still critically significant, albeit to varying degrees. They would not normally include illustrations (an exception to this are exhibition reviews).
These are indexed more briefly.
Both are highly important groups and decisions on indexing structure are lead by the text, rather than vice versa. For instance, a very long, critically significant book review is treated like an article and given relevance by a relative abundance of keywords and terms.
3 - Other, Calendars, Corrections, Vol. Info:
These texts do not contain any critical elaboration and are indexed briefly within a rigidly structured format.
Are illustrations indexed, and how?
All illustrations of The Burlington Magazine are indexed, except those found in advertisements.
Illustrations are catalogued according to three main categories: Attributed works; Western art unattributed; Eastern art unattributed
Attributed works are indexed by artist. A submenu (artist/by, artist/after, artist/attributed to, artist/circle of, artist/school of) allows to specify the precise role of the artist. The artists' names are linked to ULAN. Because of the high number of illustrations the only descriptor inserted under 'subjects' is 'media'.
Unattributed works, both Eastern and Western, also have 'media' as subject descriptor. As a substitute for the artist's name, however, they contain a reference to their geographical origin (Italian, Nigerian, Japanese etc.).
What are the ethical guidelines of The Burlington Magazine Online Index?
The Index Editor endeavours to use inclusive language. For example, for women art historians referred to with their husband's name (e.g. the art historian Cicely Margater Powell, after her marriage referred as Mrs. Laurence Binyon), the editor ensures when possible to include their maiden names to avoid confusion. Names of Asian and African art are listed according to the current spelling, but if a term has been historically used, it is listed as an alternative in related names. An exception is made if the term is currently considered offensive.

Issue #116 - 2013-10-14 - Perl TV launchedlatest | archive
I am sorry for sending this edition so late, I was busy trying to launch the new Perl TV site. There are plenty of interviews, talks and presentation posted on YouTube and other video sites, but very few people know about those. I think it will be nice to share these videos. So the Perl TV site will post a new video every day. You can follow it via its Atom feed.
In other news, it turns out the Portuguese Perl Workshop was rescheduled to October 24-25. Please make sure you arrive on the right days :).

Underappreciated Perl Code: TAP's YAMLish Syntax
Parsing the error messages from a test script might be difficult as those include free text and were designed to be read by humans, not by computers. OTOH if you can get a well formatted version of this output then it will be possible and even easy to write a parser for them. This is what came out of the Wumpus Cave of Timm Murray.

CPAN Testers Summary - Oct 2013 - What's THIS For...!
There was a big server upgrade that went well with only a few hiccups. Of course the server is not free. You can read how it is being financed.
In this part of the series, Rob Hoelz covers the optree, which is quite similar to what others might call an abstract syntax tree (AST). comments
Tom Christiansen started discussing the idea to create a set of Perl::Critic rules that will cover the recommendations of the Camel book (aka. Programming Perl). In case you don't know, Perl::Critic is the implementation of the recommendation from the book 'Perl Best Practices' written by Damian Conway. It is extendable and can server as a great tool to make sure your code follows recommended practices.

Released Perl ptkdb debugger to experimental
Thanks to Dominique Dumont, Debian and thus Ubuntu are going to get a new version of the Devel::ptkdb debugger.
Niels Thykier has recently released a new, and much faster version of autodie and now Lintian. autodie will turns silent errors into an exception, and Lintian is a Lint-like tool for Debian packages. It tries to find bugs and policy violations.
Do you know how should a version number on CPAN look like? Not? Don't worry. Apparently there are a few other people who have very interesting ideas about how version numbers should look like.
Five percent of indexed CPAN packages come from just two distributions
Apparently David Golden was on a roll checking CPAN. What is totally unclear to me is why do those two distribution need so many packages (modules)?

Book Description:The Schools of Ground Zero is the story of how public school districts in Lower Manhattan dealt with the events of Sept.11, 2001, and their aftermath. Written by the parents of two children who attend public school in lower Manhattan, this book focuses on the effect that the Sept. 11 attacks had on the physical and mental health of New York City schoolchildren and their parents. At the time of the attacks, there were more than 6,000 children attending the public schools in the vicinity of the World Trade Center. The Schools of Ground Zero uses the example of the World Trade Center attacks to illustrate how school officials may be unprepared to cope with emergencies, and uncertain how to proceed after the event. Drawing on interviews with parents, teachers, New York Board of Education officials and environmental consultants, the authors make practical recommendations for safeguarding the health and safety of schoolchildren in times of crisis.

Many–myself included–have argued that an Obama victory would be better for the long term health of a pro-liberty right. Romney's defeat, this line of thinking goes, would force the GOP to reevaluate its beliefs and strategies, an outcome that could only benefit the young Ron Paul wing of the party.
Daniel McCarthy offers an alternative analysis. He argues that the Ron Paul movement only caught on the way it did because of the dissident right's profound disappointment with the presidency of George W. Bush. A corollary to this observation (which McCarthy does not mention) is that the Tea Party–born in opposition to a Democratic President–has proven itself directionless and easily co-optable. When the Democrats are in power, it's easier for different elements of the right to band together and pose as the party of liberty, even if most of those elements are profoundly anti-liberty.
On the other hand, McCarthy argues, "a Romney victory might, as the Marxists used to say, heighten the contradictions on the right to the point that reform becomes possible." That is, Romney could provoke a civil war on the right as soon as he begins acting like Obama II (or Bush IV). And that would open up possibilities for noninterventionists and actual budget hawks who are currently frozen out of power.
It's an interesting interpretation. But frankly, the short term prospects for a sane right are bleak no matter who wins. Even if we get the type of reevaluation we want–whether prompted by an Obama or a Romney victory–who is going to represent our side? Where are the actual budget hawks and noninterventionists who are going to take over the Republican Party, and–this is crucial–are they going to hire Jesse Benton?

|Great stars still with us
|Written by Bill Baird
|Tuesday, August 20, 2013 7:20 PM
I received an e-mail from our still beautiful and elegant child star Marilyn Knowlden with a list of the great stars of the 1930s still living.
Due to her short career, we tend to forget German-born Luise Rainer who, at 103, is the oldest great star alive.
After making a film in Denmark and two in Germany she made Escapade (1935) in Hollywood.
Being Jewish, Hitler's Nazi Germany wasn't exactly the safest place to live.
After making five more Hollywood films through 1938, she faded away.
Marilyn lives in London.
Olivia de Havilland was a great actress in 59 roles from 1935 to 1988.
She was nominated for Oscars for The Snake Pit (1948), Hold Back the Dawn (1941) and her greatest film, Gone with the Wind (1939).
She won Oscars as best actress in To Each His Own (1946) and The Heiress (1949).
Olivia is 97 and has lived in Paris for many years.
Her sister, Joan Fontaine, was in 71 roles from 1935 to 1994.
She won the Oscar for best actress in Suspicion (1941) and was nominated for Oscars for Rebecca (1940) and The Constant Nymph (1943).
Joan is 95 and lives in Carmel, Calif.
Marsha Hunt was in 115 roles from 1935 to 2008. Marsha is 95 and lives in Los Angeles.
Irish beauty Maureen O'Hara was in 65 roles in mostly great movies from 1938 to 2000.
After living in her native Ireland for many years, she now lives in Idaho.
Maureen turned 93 Saturday, Aug. 17.
Other stars still living from the Golden Age of Cinema range from very well known to unknown and their ages:
This was before cell phones and my kids were young. I was working the midnight shift for CG&E and thought a phone was necessary.
When I called the repair number which was in Cincinnati from work they wanted to repair the line after the holiday I told them if they didn't fix it I would untie their lines.
I tied them to my trees to get them out of traffic's path. The line was repaired that day.
Afterwards, I made Ma Bell Creep of the Week in my column for not having repair people on duty.
Bell's president supposedly called my CG&E president after finding out where I worked.
Recently, when I had my phone land line go out, I called repair, which now is in the Philippines.
I had trouble understanding this rude woman who said it would be three days before it could be fixed.
Since we have a cell phone and my e-mail worked it wasn't as important as it was 40 years ago.
What this Philippines person doesn't know is the repairman's headquarters is 10 minutes from my house and it took him about 20 minutes to find the trouble.
The next time I have telephone line trouble I won't call the Philippines. I will go to the Cincinnati Bell store in Harrison by UDF.
When my payment was lost in the mail they took care of the situation and now I pay it there.
The employees are extremely nice especially Keith Nelson and attractive Rachel Alford.

What it is: a virus. In nonscientific terms, it gets into your lungs and totally messes stuff up, which is not cool. The "stomach flu" is not really the flu, but is horrible nonetheless.
Symptoms: cough, fever, congestion, decreased will to move or stand, increased resentment of healthy people.
How to prevent the flu: There are several methods to avoid contracting the flu. The first is to get an annual flu shot, which can usually protect against more than 80 percent of the flu for any one year. Of course, they have to guess which viruses will show up, and some years they get it totally wrong, like this year. This year the vaccine only works about 40 percent of the time, which is pretty terrible as far as vaccines go. Thanks a lot, science.
If you don't like needles, or you're allergic to eggs, or you believe that crap about vaccines causing autism or autoimmune disease (please, please don't, I'm begging you), there are other things to try. One simple and effective method is to stock up on food and water, lock your roommate out of your room, and caulk up the door until summer rolls around. This way you'll avoid any and all human contact, plus you'll get a cool reputation as a completely crazy person and you won't have to do homework. Downsides: you will fail all your classes, you won't be able to shower for a few months, you'll have to figure out a bathroom somehow, and you'll have to invent an imaginary friend to stay sane. Your relationship with your roommate will probably suffer, too.
What I've always done instead of becoming a hermit is to drink tea by the quart when I feel myself getting sick. The whiter the tea, the more antioxidants, and the healthier it is, so white tea is the best, followed by green. It might be a total placebo effect, but if you really believe it, it'll work, just like any folk remedy you truly believe in (like voodoo dolls, or onion tea).
However, all of this is moot if you, like me, get cocky. Until a week ago, I was pretty much the only person on campus without the flu, so when the opportunity to write an article on it came up, I was all excited. I figured I could write it from the perspective of the one healthy person, feigning sympathy but secretly delighted with myself and the power of my tea-by-the-gallon strategy. Of course, within a few days of taking the article, couldn't laugh without collapsing into a horrible coughing fit that made me sound like a 98-year-old heavy smoker. A couple days after that, I contracted just about the worst short-term stomach virus in the world, and my ironic downfall was complete. Lesson: never say "I don't have the flu," because you immediately will, and then some.
But, if all of this advice should fail and you do get the flu, the best possible remedy is to simply lay on someone else's futon and loudly complain to everyone around you about how terrible you feel. With practice, you can perfect a tone of voice so wretched, so pitiful, that people will simply have to get you whatever you ask for, or at least pay attention to you. If they refuse, threaten to die on their futon or cough on their possessions.
And speaking of coughing on possessions, your last option is to boldly throw caution and decency to the winds and become a Typhoid Mary (or Flu Sue), with the goal of infecting as many other people as possible. This is best accomplished by not staying home from any of your classes, coughing into your hands, and going to Froggy's on Thursdays so that you can be in extremely close proximity to as many people as possible. For bonus points, drink out of everyone else's cups. You won't be popular, but at least you'll have plenty of sick company.
So best of luck to you, St. Olaf students, as you do battle with this most common and irritating of diseases. I hope this advice helps, except for the parts where I was making stuff up. Say it with me, now -- screw you, flu. I promise that's the last time I'll use a stupid rhyme in this article.

Learning from Tim's Health Problems
Steven C. Bahls, President of Augustana College
When he was 15 years old, our son Timothy survived a frightening medical emergency. On January 25, 1999, while playing tag at a Boy Scout meeting, Tim's heart stopped suddenly, and for no apparent reason. Two scout leaders – one of them, a physician – kept him alive with cardiopulmonary resuscitation until a paramedic squad arrived and rushed him to Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, where we were living at the time. The first days of uncertainty were terrifying for us, but 11 days later he came home, very much himself; and more, in fact, thanks to the implantation of a small defibrillator designed to shock his heart back to normal operation if need be. Fewer than four percent of Americans who experience this type of "sudden cardiac arrest" survive the event, but with the defibrillator in place, the outlook for Tim has been and continues to be good.
I thought I would use this web-based format to share with you some of the valuable lessons I've learned as a result of my son's experience:
- First and foremost, our family has learned the power of prayer. When we arrived at Children's Hospital, Tim's situation was grave, and it deteriorated the first night. But my wife and I never gave up hope. We were overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and prayers from the community of Capital University, where I was then serving as dean of the Law School. We believe that miracles do happen and that God answers prayers.
- Everyone should know CPR. Tim owes his life to Scoutmaster John Fenimore and Assistant Scoutmaster Dr. Jeff Innes. They knew how to administer CPR and responded immediately and heroically to a critical situation. Would you know what to do if someone's heart stopped beating?
- Defibrillators save lives. The Columbus Fire Department used a high tech, portable defibrillator to shock Tim's heart back to normal rhythm. Today's automatic defibrillators require little training to use. They take a reading of the heart rhythm, determine the need for a shock and administer it if needed. Check to be sure the emergency squads where you live are equipped with automatic external defibrillators (AEDs), especially if you live in a rural area. Ideally, every police cruiser should have one as well. In the Quad Cities community, Trinity Regional Health System has assisted local police departments in procuring AEDs.
- In the midst of this crisis, my family had the opportunity to revel in the rich diversity that is on display every day in our country. From the quick-thinking scoutmasters to the head of the paramedic squad -- from Tim's attending physician to his cardiologist and neurologist -- people of many different races, ages and nationalities all contributed their talents to a common goal. Our family is eternally grateful to these professionals from so many diverse backgrounds who worked together to save Tim's life.
- The lasting lesson I will take away from this experience is one I hope you will consider, and that is the importance of leading a balanced life. For many of us, time is our stock in trade, and often we feel pressured to work unreasonably long hours. Too frequently, we don't spend enough time maintaining healthy personal relationships. But every now and then, life has a way of reminding us of what is important. Don't wait for a crisis to be reminded of the importance of balance in your life.
Today? Tim lives in California, where he and his wife, Mag, are busy caring for our first grandchild, Kirana.

James Heppelmann - PTC
President and CEO
James (Jim) Heppelmann is president and CEO at PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC, market cap ~$3B) and is responsible for driving PTC's global business strategy and operations. Mr. Heppelmann also serves on PTC's Board of Directors. Mr. Heppelmann has 25 years of experience developing and deploying sophisticated product development software technology across the global manufacturing industry.
Mr. Heppelmann travels extensively to customer sites around the world and speaks regularly at product development and manufacturing industry forums on topics such as transforming the way products are created and serviced in response to new business opportunities created by digitization, globalization, personalization, smart products, and servitization. He has also been published and quoted in numerous business and trade media, including The Boston Globe, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg Television.
An engineer himself, Mr. Heppelmann serves as a member of the national FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) executive advisory board, and is a member of the Dean's advisory board at the University of Minnesota College of Science & Engineering.
Mr. Heppelmann is a strong believer in the corporate social responsibility approach known as Shared Value, where corporations contribute to their communities through vehicles that in return elevate the corporation's value, in effect producing value for both the community and the corporate shareholders. PTC's shared value program, "The Engineer of the Future", is designed to inspire young people into career paths in science, technology, engineering and math through programs like FIRST and the Real World Design Challenge (RWDC). Through this program, students gain strong career opportunities, PTC's customers gain an ongoing source of qualified employees, and PTC builds important relationships with potential future users of its technologies.
Company Synopsis
PTC is a software company whose technology solutions help manufacturers achieve sustained product and service advantage. Founded in 1985, PTC employs over 6,000 professionals serving more than 27,000 businesses in rapidly-evolving, globally distributed manufacturing industries worldwide.
PTC is a Strategic Partner of FIRST and is fully committed to the values of FIRST. Providing substantial financial support, free access to professional-grade engineering software and countless man-hours of employee support, PTC exposes FIRST students to sophisticated tools and global manufacturing customers to inspire students to develop the engineering skills that are in high demand from these organizations.
Additionally, PTC is a founding member of the Real-World Design Challenge (RWDC), an annual high school competition run by a public-private aerospace partnership with the goal of increasing the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce in the USA.
Insight from the CEO
Why do you believe STEM education/workforce development is critical to our nation's future?
America was built on innovation and entrepreneurship. If we want America to continue to lead in the 21st century, there is nothing more important than a continued focus on innovation. By getting today's top students passionate about careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, we create the pipeline of talent necessary to develop the leading technologies that will continue to be the backbone of our economy as well as our security and quality of life.
How do you believe STEM education can improve a nation's competitiveness?
Too few of our top high school students invest their careers into STEM fields today, perhaps because it is increasingly characterized as being too nerdy. So the first challenge is to inspire students toward STEM education, in effect to make it cool again. The second challenge is to deliver a quality educational program. We believe that students form opinions about STEM well before their college years, so high-school programs that first capture the imagination of students, and then cultivate their aspirations, will be the source of tomorrow's innovators and entrepreneurs.
How has your corporation coordinated investments in education with future workforce needs?
PTC is very active in two initiatives, FIRST and the Real World Design Challenge (RWDC).
FIRST reaches an estimated 300,000 students annually and offers an accessible, innovative, mentor-based STEM programs for K-12. These programs inspire young people to think, design and create something physical using their engineering knowledge and skills. As a Strategic Partner of the FIRST Progression of Programs for K-12, PTC provides free professional-grade engineering software, including PTC Creo® design software, PTC Mathcad® calculation software, and PTC Windchill® collaboration software to all participating FIRST teams, allowing thousands of students along with their teachers and professional mentors to collaborate digitally and virtually on their designs anytime, anywhere.
PTC is a founding member of the RWDC, an annual high school competition run by a public-private partnership with the goal of increasing the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce in the USA aerospace industry. The RWDC began in 2008 through a partnership between industry, government, academia, and non-profits. PTC provides program management, software to each participating school, including PTC Creo®, PTC Windchill®, and PTC Mathcad®, as well as introductions and connections to industry partners, team support and technical and administrative support. This year, nearly 5,000 students from across the country participated in the RWDC. Every student participates at no cost to themselves or their schools with partners donating more than a billion dollars of financial and in-kind support to schools since the RWDC's inception.
What is the STEM initiative that your company has supported are you most proud?
We are proud of all our STEM-based initiatives because every one of them helps educate, nurture and build the confidence of students to pursue careers in math, science and engineering.
How can we advance mentorships and apprenticeships in the STEM pipeline?
Though everybody is ultimately a winner, the return to the student who becomes inspired toward STEM may be greater in the short term than to the mentor or company who employs the apprentice. A better program that helps companies to establish an effective apprentice program, coupled with the matchmaking necessary to connect them with the most needy students – many of whom are in rural or inner city areas – could be helpful to significantly increase the availability of apprentice programs and the exposure of students to these real-world environments.
What do we need in the US to continue to be at the top of global innovation?
Innovation and creation of the infrastructure necessary both for security and quality of life represent the backbone of a strong economy and a strong nation, and the inexorable slide toward a service economy may become a precursor of trouble ahead. Organizations, educators and government officials need to work together to create more awareness of the importance of innovation, and then stronger STEM programs so that more students are able to better understand and pursue the wide variety of career opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math fields. When this is successful, we'll have more students in the types of jobs that will keep the United States at the top of the list of global innovators.

OMG -- get the tissues ready, because you're gonna need them after seeing a 6-year-old boy weep after hearing his dad is returning from Afghanistan.
Teagan Rhea-Gregg's grandmother surprised him with the news that his dad would be home from a three-month tour "in just a few minutes." He was so stunned, he couldn't stop the tears from flowing freely. (Bless his heart!)
After he composed himself a bit, it was time to break the happy news to his little brother, who was sitting on the couch in the living room.
Just wait until you see the clip -- because his reaction is just as priceless, yet totally opposite of Teagan's.
Ahhhh! Typical little boy. He mumbled what sounded like, "I know that," and then just kept right on focusing on playing video games like nothing special was happening.
Ok, so he probably just didn't comprehend what Teagan was telling him, but still -- his reaction was so different from his brother's, you can't help but laugh at it.
It's probably just as well that neither of these boys had a big warning before their daddy arrived, because it's tough to imagine kids that young being able to stand having to wait a long time to be reunited with a parent after hearing that kind of news.
And what a reunion it was. I thought they were going to run right off that porch the minute they saw their dad's car pull up, and I absolutely melted when they finally got to hug him.
(Dang. These videos get me every single time.)
Whose reaction did you like best, Teagan's or his brother's?
Image via tommydabbs/YouTube
Aw Teagan :"") Happy Tears!
Sometimes kids can't absorb big news. When I told my daughter she was going to Disney her reaction was very ho-hum. But ten minutes later she was impossibly crazy about it.
This was adorable.
As a military brat myself, I can totally understand the reaction of the older boy. My dad went overseas twice (Korea and Vietnam), for 12-13 months at a time. The second time I was old enough to understand the danger he was in. I think the older boy just realized he could stop worrying, and that relief came out as tears. I'm so glad for the whole family.
hahahh so cute
howwonderful for these boys. More importantly Thank you so much for your service Sir I salute you. I am so happy that you made it hope safely God Speed to you and your family.
I Remember when my brother over seas for the first time... I cryed like a baby :( God Bless The Men & Women Home & Over Seas

Female-assigned intersex kids' vaginal canal size is also assessed by doctors, to ensure that it's long enough to fit a penis inside of it. Doctors might surgically construct or re-construct vaginas, which can result in a host of health problems and necessitate multiple, multiple surgeries. This is especially the case since most intersex kids have these surgeries very young, and when their bodies grow into their adult forms, more surgeries are necessary to keep their vagina size in proportion. Non-surgical methods are also used to increase or maintain vaginal length by regularly using medical dildos to stretch the vagina over months and years. (It's kind of like braces for your vagina, but much, much worse.) Just like there are no standards for how long a clitoris "can" be before it's classified as a penis, there aren't absolute standards as to how long a vagina is for it to be of "normal" length.
I had a dilation procedure performed for almost every exam I had with intersex doctors from the time I was 8 until I was 16, so that they could check how long my vagina was as I grew. I absolutely hated these procedures. I mean, imagine a man as old as your father or your grandfather, who you don't know, inserting a medical dildo into you each time you saw him, knowing that you can't question the doctor's orders and just accept that you have to undergo these uncomfortable procedures for your health. Imagine a decade or so later, realizing that these procedures did nothing to track your health, and had everything to do with grown men feeling good about the fact that you could fuck some dude someday like a "normal girl". That all those traumatizing procedures weren't actually medically relevant at all, and it actually was within my right to refuse those examinations.
I didn't know any of that at the time.
I also had no idea that I wouldn't want to ultimately have the kind of sex they assumed I'd be having, adding yet another layer of this-was-totally-unnecessary/messed-up to my history.
Other kids shouldn't have to go through this. Other adults shouldn't have revelations some day far into the future that what was happening to them WASN'T okay, and their traumatic feelings ARE valid, and the whole system of how intersex people are conceptualized and "treated" IS entirely fucked.
And it's gotta change. We've gotta change it.
—-Claudia at Autostraddle
I just read this article and was reminded once again how invisible the intersex community often is… we need to signal boost this shit to let people know that this kind of "medical treatment" is NOT okay.

aayyyyy lmao
being brought up as a child with the expectation and promises of having a dream job, getting married, doing well, having your life have some meaning, as a guaranteed default as long as you ate your vegetables and did well at school.
It is such bullshit because that is far from the norm and when you realize that this is the only life you've got and you can't do what you wanted because you have something wrong you, something the world will judge you for even though you have never done anyone any wrong.
Or when you have to give up your dreams because you were born a certain way so you can never achieve it
or the fact that education (aka 'intelligence' is so highly prized that people regularly have breakdowns over exams and the like because where a C is an average it is treated like a failure and that only the 'clever' people deserve it, and even then those 'clever' mathematically scientifically capable people are pushed to the brink because there is always someone better when then were told as a kid that they were the best, not even going into the fact that even if you do get the best grades in the world it doesn't guarantee a good job, a good life or happiness.
There is no grantee of happiness in this world and it's horrible because we are brought up with superhero's and detectives and aliens and we can never hope to be anything like them because it's all make believe, just like Santa clause and the equality of life.
No one ever prepared me for how bitterly unfair life was and I cannot even feel safe in my own skin because I was brought up to see the faults. it's unacceptable and no one is doing anything about it. I have my mock exams in January and I am desperate not to do them, I'm loosing sleep over it. Why? Because I was told I was supposed to have genius-level intellect in some area's of my brain. I as told that I was special and that I should be a really high performer in class. But I'm not. The only subject I'm good at I can never do good enough in and it's bullshit because I am terrified of these exams because they are real and I am not doing a goddamn thing to prepare for them.
Because i have never prepared for my exams my entire life. Why? Because then my low-marks can be blamed on lack of revision. I cannot bring myself to work so hard and then fail because it'll finally prove I'm just as useless as I thought I was and I cannot stand it. As far as I can see there isn't any happiness or security that I will ever be able to get but I have to keep on living this miserable existence because what choice do I have? I can hardly let down all those who 'care' about me. I have no one to talk to about anything and I fucking hate it.

It really drew me in. I instantly noticed the present tense, but after the first paragraph–I was too into the story to notice. I had my notions, but I was wrong. Nice surprise.
Haven't read it yet because I'm at work, but I love the concept and look forward to reading it over the weekend. Mega congrats!
Ramona, I loved this and I want the story to continue!

It will be Albemarle County taxpayers forking over the cash for the court costs incurred by former Albemarle Supervisor Chris Dumler.
Dumler left office more than three months ago, but now the whole ordeal may finally be over - with the county responsible to pay about $9,000 for Dumler's legal fees.
"I'm glad to finally get some finality to it and I hope we do have some finality to it," said Ken Boyd, Albemarle supervisor.
Dumler was arrested in October of 2012 and pleaded guilty to misdemeanor sexual battery last January. His plea sparked a number of protests during supervisor meetings and a trial regarding his removal from office in May.
A judge determined there were no legal grounds to remove Dumler – now the county has to pick up his $9,345 tab in legal fees.
"This is the legal way it has to be done. The judge, Cheryl Higgins, made a decision that he was doing his job. It's over with now and it's done and I don't want to pay the money but we have no choice...no choice," said Albemarle Supervisor Rodney Thomas.
The money will most likely be taken from the county's reserve fund.
"I think that what happened and the fact that we're having to pay this fee is just another indication to me of the lack of integrity and honor on Mr. Dumler's part," said Boyd.
Earl Smith, the man who led the petition to remove Dumler, says the news is no surprise.
"We all knew that this was going to happen. That was the chance you took," said Smith.
For Smith, the ordeal was over in June when Dumler quit less than a week after his trial.
"I think this is more like an after tremor or something. It was over when he resigned," said Smith.
Supervisors hope this is the end - but say it could have been resolved much sooner.
"I think the nice end would have been for him to immediately resign when he got in trouble in the first place and not drag the community through this excess stuff," said Boyd.
The issue will come up before the Board of Supervisors to appropriate those funds.
Dumler could not be reached for comment.

You know how it feels when you're trying to cross the street and a driver comes through the intersection as if you're not even there? Like he's muscling through with that big box of metal as if to say, "Hey, get out of my way, you little flesh-and-blood weakling!"
Wouldn't you just love to have a superhero sweep down, stand up to the jerk behind the wheel, and block the car so you could cross safely?
Enter Peatónito, the masked Mexican defender of pedestrians!
The number of accidents at one intersection dropped by 95 percent, from 200 a year to about 10... "You can't deny the numbers," he added. "Half the world is eager to see what's going to happen with this program." Apparently, people in India can handle it. (Surely you saw this on Reddit?)

Task manager won't come up and Ctrl, Alt, Del eventually brings a series of messages of failed services, it's able then to send error reports to Microsoft and eventually closes down. No abnormal reports in the Event Manager and no apparent abnormalities in the Device Manager?

The new Harley '72' is a blinged/tarted up custom – the idea being a full-on. Early '70s-style custom (hence the name) but on the 1200 Sportster platform rather than the more usual big twins. It works, too.

Kawasaki's ZX-10R evokes thoughts of rip-roaring power and handling best suited to race circuits. While that may have been the case of the original 2004 model, subsequent models have been diluted to the point where ZX-10R is regarded as a decent on the road superbike but not quite in touch with the competition of the latest Blade, techno-laden R1 and ...

Harley's cruiser V-Rod has been about since 2001, and the new Muscle is… is just another styling exercise to bolster what is arguably a tired range. The Muscle is essentially a reworked V-Rod with design touches (muscular, flowing lines) to front it up as a serious boulevard traffic light blaster. Except it isn't that muscular – 12.25sec standing quarters anyone?

After just two years in production the Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport gets a new engine. So it's out with the old two-valver and in with a new 105bhp four-valve head motor, taken from the Stelvio adventure bike and the Griso 8v cruiser (yes, Guzzi call the Griso an '8v' and all the other bikes in their range with the same ...

Believe it or not, but you can still buy an 80s classic Hesketh V1000 motorcycle, brand new, made in small numbers by Broom Engineering. The original Hesketh V1000 was hailed as the saviour of the British industry back in 1981, but this heavy, rather touring orientated V-twin motorcycle was - and still is - an acquired taste. From 2004 onwards, the Hesketh ...

Basically the Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide Sport is as per the stock Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide but with a touch more hard edged sporting attitude courtesy of flat bars, a different seat, twin disc brakes and a touch more mean and moody matt black paint.

The Harley-Davidson Softail Standard has classic Harley looks and technology for the custom fan who wants the authentic American experience. The Softail family has concealed rear suspension for a hard-core 'hardtail' look. The Harley-Davidson Softail Standard was discontinued for 2007. Compared to later motorcycles, the main differences are that it hasn't got the latest air cooled engine and other minor refinements.

After seemingly decades in the doldrums Moto Guzzi is back with a strikingly styled, well built roadster that's a match for the best from anywhere. As an objet d'art the beautifully designed and finished Griso is eye-catchingly stunning. As a motorcycle, it's fun, functional and pretty much as cool as it gets… Watch the Moto Guzzi Griso take on ...

Take one ageing naked roadster, add the Ducati 916/996/998 series sportbike motor, tweak the suspension and paint it red. It's been a winning formula for Ducati and the latest Ducati Monster S4RS, with its Ohlins suspension, radial brakes and 130bhp engine is possibly one of the maddest roadster motorcycles money can buy. All Ducati Monster motorcycles need TLC to maintain performance and their ...

Harley goes high-tech after decades of just updating their lovable antiques. The Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-Rod was the first of Harley's VRSC 'Rod' family. The Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-Rod's water cooling, loads of power, handling that could embarrass a badly ridden sportsbike and brakes that stop fast were totally novel on a Harley. Diehards refuse to accept them but the Harley-Davidson VRSCA ...

Losi Aluminum Servo Arm (JR)
With your purchase, receive at no cost:
This is the optional aluminum replacement single arm servo horn from Losi. This is the servo horn that is used for the steering bell crank. This servo horn will work on JR servos.
This product was added to our catalog on May 16, 2007.

This arm is nice and strong, a nice cheap upgrade to your steering system.
Mike Lettieri
Verified Owner
Much better than the bulky stock servo arm. Slim, lightweight, looks clean and polished, plus there is no need for a plastic servo horn...metal on metal prevents the plastic from stripping. I would have given this 5 stars if the coating did not scratch so easily. Too bad this didn't come in anodized black.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to spying… Charles Cumming's A Colder War
It hardly needs saying, but spying did not stop with the collapse of Communism. But if spying continued, it naturally follows that so did betrayal. The haunting question provoked by every betrayal is, "Why?" Perhaps it was easier to understand during the Cold War. The globe's ideological map was drawn all too clearly. However flawed the enemy might be, believing in their ideological stance always made it forgiving those flaws much easier. But what about today? Read more
Diving into the OT deep end with Joshua's Conquest
Well, I feel I rather drew the short straw at ASLP on Sunday with Joshua 11-12 as my passage – but then actually, each of the sections in the series has had its moments, so I realise I wasn't alone! But this section provides a summary of Israel's conquest of the Land in the preceding 10 chapters, concluding with its triumphant list of 31 indigenous kings beaten and executed. Not only that, but in passing it has all kinds of profoundly difficult lines, not least Joshua 11:6 and Joshua 11:20. Read more
Q Conversations 5: Politician Elizabeth, Baroness Berridge
Elizabeth Berridge, until very recently, was the youngest woman in the House of Lords, the UK's upper house in Parliament. Raised to the peerage in the 2011, she was before that a barrister and then in 2006 became Executive Director of the Conservative Christian Fellowship which exists to bring together Conservative Party voting Christians of all denominations. She describes herself as a classic Tory 'wet', as opposed to the 'Dry' Thatcherite end of the party's spectrum. If that terminology is rather meaningless to you (or even sounds mildly offensive!) then listen in! Read more
Are we tough enough? Reflections on U2's Ordinary Love
Dan at Redeeming Sound asked me to write something for his blog. So naturally, I decided to write on U2… They've had a new album coming out any minute for years – latest is that it will be sometime this year… but they recorded a song for the soundtrack to the new Mandela movie starring Idris Elba: Ordinary Love Read more
Odds and ends: some random book reviews on China, Marriage… and Auschwitz
So, there's been seriously long radio-silence from Q in recent weeks. But this is not the result of inactivity. Far from it. Regulars will be pleased to hear that my book is seriously under way – with 5 out of 10 chapters now completed in draft. Phew!! There's going to be lots to blog on when it's done – but I don't have the energy or brain to do both at the same time! Nevertheless, I've been keeping up reading and stuff. Here are a few reviews of recent freebies I got on the Amazon Vine programme. There might be something of interest to someone… Read more
The perils of drink – but it's not quite what you think
It's Friday, and so that would normally call for some Friday fun. Well, this post more or less qualifies as a bit of fun, but it's also a bit of seriousness too. So I'll let it stand on its own merits. Here is a very helpful and salutary public health warning from the great nineteenth century social reformer and polemicist William Cobbett. It has much to teach us. As I'm sure you'll agree… Read more
Douglas Adams eats biscuits on Cambridge station
This is one of my favourite short, and true, stories. It comes from the pen of the wondrous Douglas Adams, he of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fame. It needs little explanation or introduction. But it is the perfect illustration of all kinds of self-delusions and self-righteousness. Read more
All is not well … in the state of Denmark: George Packer's THE UNWINDING (USA's 'inner history')
Well, to all my American friends and family, Happy 4th July. I wish you a great day of celebration and fun. That is always a little strange coming from a Brit. After all, you did rebel against us. But I think we've kinda gotten over it now (as you might put it). But it's well-meant. America is a country I've grown to love (or at least certainly the bits I've visited). And as Bono has said more than once (perhaps explaining why he's never forsaken his Irish roots despite his love for the US): Ireland's a great country, but America is a great idea. And that's what the 4th is all about at its best. A great idea. Read more
Václav Havel's 1978 warning to the West
I'm trying to understand power – what it means, how it's wielded, how it affects us. Big topic. But I'm increasingly convinced that we can't understand the culture of suspicion without grasping the power of power (and its abuses).
This has drawn me to someone who has been a bit of a hero, but whose writings I'd only dipped into. Reading Václav Havel's masterly and vital 1978 essay The Power of the Powerless has blown me away. Written in the dark days of Czechoslovak communism (only 10 years after the false dawn of the Prague Spring), it is a profound analysis of what it was like to live under a regime built entirely on lies. The only response, the only subversion of the regime, therefore, is to live in truth. Read more
Let the meaning choose the word: Orwell on political language
It has its gainsayers (eg Steven Poole is pretty disparaging, though unfairly in my view) but George Orwell's Politics and the English Language (the whole essay is online), is prophetic. Of course some of his linguistic concerns are matters of taste and fashion (as Steven Poole rightly notes). But written at the close of the Second World War, this article exposes the sham sincerity and dissembling motivation behind so much political speech and writing. That is the essay's great virtue. And it has not gone out of date at all. Read more
Q Conversations 4: Jazz Singer and Photographer Ruth Naomi Floyd
While I was in the States at the end of last month, I had an afternoon to kill in Philadelphia. So the completely obvious thing to do was record another Q conversation. This time I sat down to chat with Ruth Naomi Floyd, whom I'd met at the European Leadership Conference in Hungary a few years ago. It's available on iTunes podcasts, or if you prefer a direct feed, here on Jellycast.
Wisdom from the Palaver Tree: Kofi Annan's impossible job cajoling the world
I have just finished Kofi Annan's fascinating memoir Interventions. Annan is clearly a man of great stature and influence, who strained every sinew to bring about peace and dialogue during his 10 years as UN Secretary-General but tragically often failed. For all kinds of reasons. But as one might expect (and indeed hope), he has great wisdom to share, even if he cannot claim a string of personal triumphs.
But before a few gems, here's my brief Amazon review (which you may want to find 'helpful'?!): Read more
Je Recuse! Privilege's curse & why you should stop reading this blog (probably)
I've got a problem. But it's not the sort of problem that you're going to have much sympathy for. In fact, it's not the sort of problem that you're allowed to have much sympathy for. Because my problem is that i'm far too privileged – for my own good or for anyone else's good. Which is why, in this day and age, anything I say or claim will be subject to greater suspicion than what practically anyone else on the planet will say or claim. If you don't believe me, check this succinct quote out from Gene Veith: Read more
Giving voice to the whistleblower: Le Carré on cracking form in A Delicate Truth
There's a key moment when the oleaginous Foreign Office chameleon, Giles Oakley, goads his protegé and A Delicate Truth's protagonist, Toby Bell, about what he should do with his qualms about government policy in the run up to Iraq War.
You're exactly what the Guardian needs: another lost voice bleating in the wilderness. If you don't agree with government policy, don't hang around trying to change it. Jump ship. Write the great novel you're always dreaming about. (p51) Read more
Friday Fun 41: Mitchell & Webb debunking conspiracy theories
Some readers will know that my current obsessions are conspiracies and suspicions. One of these days, these may coalesce into something substantial. But that feels a long way off at the moment. Ho hum. But for now, if you want some brilliant ripostes to those who suck up every conspiracy theory going, then my suggestions are twofold:
- Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest David Aaronovitch's superb Voodoo Histories, reviewed here some months back.
- Watch, chuckle and take very seriously indeed these little gems from the wondrous archive of Mitchell & Webb.
As If These Walls Had Tears: Reflections on Berlin's Holocaust memorial
Apparently there were only 19 hours of sunshine in Berlin between 1st January and 22nd March – a record low. Such absolute greyness is oppressive. But in recent weeks, there have also been huge snowfalls. The result is an eerily monochrome world. Not ideal for taking sightseers' photographs. But somehow appropriate for a visit to Berlin's Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Read more
If hypocrites aren't welcome in churches, where else can they (we) go?
Tom Wright wrote a bit of a blinder in the Guardian last week on the media's apparent hypocrisy about hypocrisy – and he made some fair points. It certainly chimed with me at a number of levels, and I could certainly feel a post brewing. Jennie Pollock, however, gave a very thoughtful riposte on her blog, simply pointing out that church and media are not on a level playing field – the Church has an obligation to the Spirit to produce His fruit. She's onto something there; I'm pretty sure she's right to challenge Wright.
The inaugural Q Conversations podcast: Talking with Jaap van Heusden
It's been a germ of an idea for ages, but at last it's finally come about. Q now has a podcast. Hurrah. I can just sense the infectious excitement simply oozing throughout cyberspace. But there are loads of fascinating people out there: hearing how a few live out their lives and passions ought to be fun. Doncha think?
Well, whatever you feel about the prospect of Q podcasts in general, the inaugural episode in particular is definitely exciting because last week, I had the chance to record a conversation with the very talented and thought-provoking Dutch filmmaker, Jaap van Heusden. Here is the link on iTunes (or if you don't have that, direct through Jellycast) Read more

Sweden Halts Official Wolf Hunt
August 18, 2011 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Aug. 18 (UPI) — Sweden says it has halted a controversial licensed wolf hunt meant to cull the animals that have been attacking livestock.
The Swedish government said it would consider resuming the hunt in the winter of 2012-2013, while announcing it was removing a previously set ceiling of 210 wolves that can be culled each year for wildlife management purposes.
That would not mean an unlimited number of wolves would be culled in Sweden, a government minister said.
"Of course not. We will reach a favorable conservation status with as few wolves culled as possible," Minister for the Environment Andreas Carlgren told Swedish news agency TT Wednesday.
Any increase in culling would come only out of safety considerations of any growing danger to people living in wolf-inhabited areas or an increase in attacks on livestock, he said.
"Sweden's policy on predators must be carried out with great consideration and respect for those that take the consequences of living near predators, that is the local population."
Sweden's licensed hunt, the country's first in 45 years, faced legal action from the European Union for violating directives, resulting in the decision to cancel, the New Europe weekly reported.
The Federation of Swedish Farmers, which last year secured the reintroduction of wolf hunts via strong lobbying, strongly criticized the government's decision to stop this year's hunt.

Artist Tom Of Finland Set For Film Bio
Look who's going Hollywood! The Tom of Finland Foundation has announced that the renowned gay artist has been set for a film biography. Tom of Finland (whose real name was Touko Laaksonen) created influential and gorgeous artwork for most of his 71 years. He also had a major impact on gay global culture with his arty images of hypermasculine men, which have been shown in museums and galleries around the world. They were also featured in this book. Now Finnish production company Helsinki-filmi has bought the rights to his life for a feature film. (Before he died in 1991, Tom actually participated in two documentaries about himself, Boots, Biceps and Bulges: The Life & Works of Tom of Finland in 1988 and Daddy and the Muscle Academy in 1991.)
"Every project we've seen from this esteemed company has consistently impressed us with its creativity," says Durk Dehner, president and cofounder of the Tom of Finland Foundation. "The production team has a full grasp of the layers of the subject matter they take on. Now, with [the] Helsinki-filmi collaboration, Tom's messages of equality and freedom will be shared with even wider audiences."
Casting for the project will start early next year (we're thinking George Clooney in a mustache) and shooting will commence in December 2014 in Finland, Germany and the United States. Aleksi Bardy is set to produce, and Dome Karukoski is attached as director. For more information about Tom of Finland, visit TomofFinlandFoundation.org.
New Tom of Finland Book Debuts At L.A. Art Fair
He's long gone, but not forgotten. And artist Tom of Finland (aka Touko Laaksonen) continues to amaze with his classic work. We recently wrote about this exhibit of his original paintings at the World Erotic Art Museum in Miami Beach. Now, there's a new book that traces Tom's early life in Finland through his career in advertising to when he started producing the epic work that still influences the gay world.
Tom of Finland: Life and Work of a Gay Hero is an anthology from author F. Valentine Hooven III and German publisher Bruno Gmünder that features numerous drawings and rare photographs. The book will be launched this weekend at the Los Angeles Erotic Art Fair Weekend, which will be held at the historic Plummer Park's Fiesta Hall (7377 Santa Monica Boulevard) in West Hollywood. The Tom of Finland Foundation (ToFF) presents the event each year, and this 17th edition from September 29-30 will feature about 50 booths displaying various erotic works, including paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, mixed media and digital work. The fair also features live models posing for artists and photographers.
"This is the coming together of artists from around the world to share with each other and to present their latest creations of art to the public", president and cofounder of ToFF Durk Dehner says. ''It is one of the most positive, life-affirming experiences in which one can partake, from both the artist's and public's point of view." For more info on the art fair, click here. And for more on the book, go to brunogmuender.com.
Erotic Art - Brett Mycles!
This is artist Rob Bartel's tribute to Brett Mycles, who was one of the hottest and most beautiful muscle men to appear on the scene ever, and was one of my personal favorites. Brett was not only a successful fitness model but he was also a featured model for International Male. He also appeared in gay porn mags and videos and worked as a personal trainer. Rob has captured him perfectly, showing not only Brett's good looks but his tremendous sexual impact. You can read more about this piece and Rob's other art at The Art of Rob Bartell or buy a copy of his fine art prints here on Ebay.
Tom of Finland Foundation
The Tom Of Finland Foundation is an organization with a mission - to educate the public about the cultural merits of erotic art. Of course, the site features the works of many different artists including Tom of Finland himself, and with each artist comes a different style, medium and - to some degree - subject matter. Whether you admire rough and ready gay leather studs getting a bit kinky and bent, or just appreciate the beauty and symmetry of the "perfect" male, it's all here. The site is set up in a simple format which allows you to preview several galleries from the top main menu. Along with galleries for art lovers, the site lists art-quality works for sale, lists shows and museums where the art is displayed and also fellow artists will find some resources for getting their work seen and even purchased. The Tom of Finland Foundation is the perfect place to go for top quality artwork from professional talent who share their unique and erotic visions of the male body.
Artist Empire
Wow! There sure are some talented people on this planet. Yet another astounding artist colony awaits us with open arms, legs, and whatever else you can think of. He He. Many artists' works are portrayed here, thus giving us a most enjoyable look at many different types of talent. In the main header, you can choose between "Painters", "Photographs", "3D Art", and "Comics". Each section opens up a slide show of feature art. There's a rather annoying mouse over link to the immediate left of each image where you can choose an artist, and their pieces will show up in the frame. It's hard to actually see which artist you are choosing because the menu flaps all over the place. But if you're not concerned about this, the gorgeous men and erotic creations should suffice. The work is wonderful of course. Some artists have their own blogs which you can get to by clicking some thumbnail images of their work at the bottom of each page. While a nice looking site by all means, navigation is a bit wonky, and at times even annoying. However, if you're just going over for a quick look, what you see should certainly impress you.
The Art of Rob Bartell
Well I'll be damned! As most of us are aware, graphic artistry has really taken a massive step forward when it comes to reality type of portrayals. Just look at some of the most recent blockbusters with animated characters in them. It's quite astounding. I'm not sure whether or not Rob Bartell - the blogmaster and artist here is painting, drawing, or using digital graphics to create his incredibly muscular and gorgeous men here, but the fact is they are so realistic looking, I actually had to look closer to see that they were animations. He obviously loves musclemen. Especially really studly looking ones with pronounced lips and perfect hair. LOL. On his blog here we can get some great previews of his work along with links to purchase his magazines and limited prints. If you can appreciate very good art where the subjects are pretty well what most of us dream about when it comes to men, then Rob Bartell may just have something for you. But hey, even if you're just a browser and want to look at the samples, what this man does will simply blow your mind. Fantastic artist he is!
Oh boy, here we go. You know I always run across a great site when I get a raging hardon as soon as I get past the warning page. LOL. For your information, the warning page is done in flash format, but for those with a fast connection, it loads pretty quickly and creates quite the interesting character to click on and enter the main area of the site. Neil Bruce is your artist and webmaster here. What the man does with leather and certified bear profiles in a graphic art context is incredible. Bald heads, chubby to large bodies, astoundingly furry muscular physiques, and leather chaps are a mainstay at Bearoticart. There are two galleries available to us, featuring 32 illustrations in both. Whether you like men who are large everywhere and hairy, or heavily muscled, they're all here. Cigar chomping, leather booted blokes who look just about as manly and real as possible are portrayed in one of the most unique artforms I've ever seen. I really can't explain why my own mind finds this type of illustration such a turnon, but I really try not to analyze it very much. It is what it is, and Bruce's work is nothing short of sensational. Also available are "Links" to more very talented folks trying their hands in a similar theme. Bearoticart is a simply laid out, yet wonderfully designed site showing off the most lustful of bear art. Highly recommended!
Ismael Alvarez
Here at Gaydemon we are always on the hunt for great artists and their unique styles of expression. Ismael Alvarez, in my strong opinion, is a sensational graphic artist to say the least. If you don't speak spanish, be sure to click on the "English Version" to your right if that is the language you are most familiar with. Ismael brings us his incredible digital expression all for free. While he does do graphic design for a living, as you can see from the logos he has designed on display in the right sidebar, he gives us a large view into his work so that those not interested in buying anything can still enjoy his talents. However, if you do wish to use his work in a commercial or personal context on your own sites, according to the copyright information at the bottom of the site, you have permission to use it. Of course, you must be sure to name Ismael as the artist of the said illustration. Ismael does do custom orders as well. Click on "Contact" if you wish to hire him. Whether it's hot devil studs with bulging baskets in their trousers, or beautiful female facial profiles showing off gorgeous smiles and eyes, Ismael can cover it and take it to the top level of expertise. Some of the best digital art I've seen in a long time for sure. Nice looking site too!
Tooning In
When it comes to the artistry of sexually explicit cartoons or comic strips, there seem to be two basic perspectives: 1. Toons are hot! 2. To be turned on by animated characters is silly and pathetic. As with most issues of opinion, neither perspective is right or wrong; it's simply a matter of taste and how openly creative a mind is to varying styles of erotica. From my perspective, toons can indeed be incredibly sexy, and some of those hand drawn gay boys are goddamn hot to trot!
Tom of Finland
Tom of Finland is probably the most well-known homoerotic artist. His beautiful and stylized drawings of very muscular men in leather, uniforms and various fetishwear and situations are recognized all over the world. His characters are as famous for their huge bulging cocks as for their masculine look.
Tom of Finland was born Touko Laaksonen in May of 1920. He really was from Finland, and grew up when Finland was still full of loggers and farmers. In fact, the area he spent his childhood in was basically still the country, which would have made Tom a country boy except for his parents.
