Dead athletes' brains show damage from concussions – CNN.com
using tissue from retired NFL athletes culled posthumously, the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy (CSTE) is shedding light on what concussions look like in the brain. The findings are stunning. Far from innocuous, invisible injuries, concussions confer tremendous brain damage. That damage has a name: chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
CTE has thus far been found in the brains of five out of five former NFL players. On Tuesday afternoon, researchers at the CSTE will release study results from the sixth NFL player exhibiting the same kind of damage.

Watch more on concussions and the brain Wednesday

CNN American Morning »
"What's been surprising is that it's so extensive," said Dr. Ann McKee, a neuropathologist at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Bedford, Massachusetts, and co-director of the CSTE. "It's throughout the brain, not just on the superficial aspects of the brain, but it's deep inside."
CSTE studies reveal brown tangles flecked throughout the brain tissue of former NFL players who died young — some as early as their 30s or 40s.
McKee, who also studies Alzheimer's disease, says the tangles closely resemble what might be found in the brain of an 80-year-old with dementia.
"I knew what traumatic brain disease looked like in the very end stages, in the most severe cases," said McKee. "To see the kind of changes we're seeing in 45-year-olds is basically unheard of."

Okay, we're getting proof this is pretty serious crap. Can we PLEASE get beyond the "heh heh, bell rung. shake it off and get out there" mentality and do something? Bluntly, if there's an argument against fighting in hockey, THIS is it. As I've said before, I really want to see the league get serious about attacks to the head — but it's hard to rationalize that position with fighting in the league. You can't hit someone in the head, unless you take your gloves off first?
At the same time, it has to be done in a way that preserves the physicality of the sport. And the tradeoffs there are tough ones, it's not as simple as outlawing hits to the head or trying to do away with fighting.
But because it's tough doesn't imply it shouldn't be tackled. Just that the answers aren't as simple as many fans and media types want to portray it to be.
Saying "Thanks†to Peter Magowan
Killion: Perfect storm sends Magowan into retirement – San Jose Mercury News:
Magowan said on Friday, in announcing his retirement, that he wanted to spend more time with his grandchildren.
We interrupt the hockey talk for a minute to thank Peter Magowan for everything he's done for the Bay Area Sports fan.
It's easy to forget, or choose not to remember, just what his contribution to the Bay Area is. Before Magowan stepped in, we were staring at 100 loss seasons by a team playing in Candlestick park (a place that made the Cow Palace look attractive, and still does), at least until that team moved to Tampa.
Remember when the Tampa Bay Giants was a done deal? No, most of you probably don't.
Magowan was a key player in stopping that. Magowan brought us Barry Bonds, back when Barry Bonds was merely a stupendous baseball player. He found a way to get a new ballpark built, and a gorgeous one, despite a lack of cooperation from the city, continuing hassles by the NIMBYs, and without public funding.
And now he's going to retire, leaving the next cycle of the Giants to others. Unfortunately, most of the media seems too be forgetting what he's done in favor of whacking him for his mistakes, and while I'm not minimizing those, it seems to me if anyone deserved a day where people just said "hey, thanks", Magowan did.
So hey, Peter?
Thanks. Enjoy not having to deal with the local media any more. Enjoy your grandkids. you deserved it. And some of us recognize what you've done, and appreciate it more than you might think.
(p.s: to Anne, and Mark, and Ray, and Tim: when your time comes and your last columns are written and your cohorts take you off to lunch to say goodbye, I hope they all stand up and call out a toast in your honor, and then spend the rest of the afternoon making fun of all of the stupid columns you've written over the years, rather than reflecting on all of the good ones you've done. It's only fair and balanced, ya know?
It's not about ignoring the mistakes, it's about putting it perspective. that all could have waited for a second column a little later, you know? But heck, that's just not how things are done, right?)
the end of the Bonds era.
San Jose Mercury News – Killion: Let me grab my handkerchief:
If you were expecting emotion and sentiment think again. If you were expecting a Tony Gwynn-like farewell or a Cal Ripken-like embrace, sorry to disappoint.
The announcement came in typically, weirdly Bondsian fashion. Bonds was informed of the team decision by Peter Magowan during Thursday night's game. Always the mercenary, he posted the news on his personal Web site Friday.
Within minutes of the posting, the scrambling Giants called a Friday-at-rush-hour press conference.
In the interview room there were three seats and three bottles of water and two participants: Peter Magowan and Brian Sabean. Bonds was not there for what should have been a sentimental moment but ended up being a clinical discussion of the surgical removal of No. 25.
And so ends the Bonds era, as it probably should. Not with a "final tour" and celebration, not with a stadium full of fans cheering one of the best players in baseball into the sunset, but with a press release and a press conference where the guest of honor(?) simply didn't show, leaving his bosses to tap dance and try to spin Barry in as positive a light as they can — and finding it tough to do.
Is anyone really surprised? Because as good as Barry has been, and I'll be the first to acknowledge it, he's been a constant PR nightmare for the Giants and league, because he's always believed that he deserves every accolade, and refused under any circumstance to reach out back to fans, to teammates, to the team or the league.
The top superstars have known they need to at least put on a show of reaching out to the fans — think Cal Ripken when he was more or less bodily assumed into heaven — but Barry? if jesus returned to earth to get his autograph, Barry would have him go though his agent. For the fans to want to connect to a player, the player has to at least put on the act that they don't deserve all of the fanfare. Barry has always acted as if it was never enough; more than enough to put off many fans.
And so again, this leavetaking from the Giants won't be a proper send off for Barry; he deserves more, he's earned more — and yet we have to remember he orchestrated this. Something about Barry always seems to end up setting things up so he can walk away feeling bitter and disappointed about how it all ended.
And somewhere, deep inside, that seems to be how he wants it to be. He had everything going for him, steroids notwithstanding, to be the kind of player and person that owned the team and town and fans. Instead, we have this.
And if there are two things I would have guaranteed about this situation, it's that (a) it was going to go down something like this, and (b) Barry will find a way to blame everyone else for it because we, his fans (and owners and teammates) don't show him the proper respect, teh respect he earned.
Problem is, he only earned part of the respect he was due: the part on the field. His play is unquestionable. But he chose not to get involved with earning respect from others as a person, only as a player, and so he left a huge part of his legacy missing. He never seems to have figured out that the truly great players are both players AND people — just ask Tony Gwynn.
As someone who would fall into the "love watching him hit the ball, no asterisk (unless you put asterisks on a lot more entries), he is a scapegoat for a larger problem allowing other better-loved players to skate around the problem (but he earned that by being distant, whiny and pissy — but while I'd watch him play, I wouldn't invite him to dinner" category of Bonds fan, I'm goin to miss watching him play, but not the rest of the mini-drama that comes along with Barry. That mini-drama that is always surrounding him, and never his fault.
And so it ends, not with a bang, but with a whine.
Frankly, as it should be. which is too bad, but it's what Barry wanted. Why? maybe not even he knows. But he'd be a happier person if he figured it out, I think.
congrats to Barry!
Congratulations to Barry Bonds — 756 is a historic moment.
Today is not a day for talking about the other aspects of this record. Today is a day for letting Barry enjoy what he's accomplished. that other stuff has been talked about in the past, and will be decided by history, but today, it's the act that matters.
No, he hasn't always made himself the easiest person to like, but last night, when he was thanking the crowd and his teammates, you could see the walls he keeps around him come crumbling down; it'll be interesting to see whether we get a different Barry in the future, now that this is behind him — or whether his detractors throw so enough stones that he simply walls off again. It's not JUST Barry that is responsible for how he is, after all.
I'll leave the asterisks to the future, and to those who don't seem to have a problem describing the details of the bachelor party during the wedding reception — there's a time and a place, and this ain't it — I won't ruin Barry's party.
I did have one thought last night though — it sure would be fun to see Barry stick around and hit enough MORE home runs to make any talk of asterisks silly and irrelevant. It'd make certain pundits and writers apoplectic to see him do that, because it'd ruin a good rant on their part. I wonder how many that would be? 30? 50 more? 75?
And he could well do it; it might take moving to the AL and DHing, but gee, would that be so bad?
More on the economics of professional sports teams..
As kind of a follow up on the Sonics to San Jose thread….
First, a nice piece summarizing the current state of disorder up in Seattle, courtesy of the Seattle Metroblog. What it doesn't get into is the economics of the PREVIOUS refurbishment of Key Arena, and how much of that isn't yet paid off.
(I"m curious, though… there are San Francisco, Seattle, Portland and Vancouver metroblogs, but nothing for San Jose? shame. What, we're too suburban for you? grin)
Our background in all of this. Laurie and I have been interested in sports business and finance for years; Laurie's MBA thesis was a financial analysis of San Jose Muni and whether it made sense to upgrade it LAST time the city had to deal with that question (in 1993, back when Hammer was mayor); it helped the Giants convince the city to spend money on the stadium and keep the baby giants in town (and away from Chico). We were season ticket holders with the Baby Giants for years, until 70 summer nights a year became incompatible with the rest of our life (like work; the last season, I was the guy in the box seat with the laptop trying not to get beaned while finishing up reports). We've been season ticket holders with the Sharks since day 1, including lots of long, boring drives to the Cow Palace to watch bad hockey because, well, it was better than no hockey.
Later on, we lived the dream for a year, signing up as the web geeks for the San Francisco Spiders of the IHL the year they came, they played, and they went out in a blaze of, well, ennui. But we actually did get to be part of a pro (well, in theory) sports franchise for a bit and see life from the inside, and it was just as strange and funky as we expected — while we got to spend a year driving up to the Cow Palace to watch IHL hockey, but we also got to sit down with the management team and talk the business side of sports as well, especially NBA and arenas, since the president of the Spiders that year came from the Warriors…. (in the meantime, the Cow Palace went from "gee, it's great we have hockey, no?" to "boy, is this a pit. but it's OUR pit, dammit!" — can we just tear the poor thing down and put it out of our misery?)
My personal stance on public funding of sports buildings is guaranteed to piss off both sides of the fight: I believe there IS a legitimate purpose to public funding of public buildings, which tends to piss off folks like Andrew Zimbalist who like to create funding models that "prove" that public funding is a bad idea. At the same time, I also believe the public funding should be limited to the same kind of investment they would make in any business enterprise in the city: it has to foot out, and it has to pay itself back, and no, you can't assign arbitrary values to intrinsics like "civic pride" and "public image".
For instance, I think that San Francisco absolutely screwed the Giants — and I wish the Giants had walked down to San Jose instead of finding a way to make it work; on the other hand, Pac Bell Park is an absolute gem, but the financial deal stapled to it sucks, especially compared to the $100 million dollar bonds worth of extortion the 49ers pulled out of San Francisco, but fortunately, that deal is dead and those bonds will never happen. I think the deal between San Jose and the Sharks is generally fair to both sides and been beneficial to everyone. it's a great example of something that works for everyone, but doesn't make anyone completely happy (which is a feature, IMHO). I've talked to Greg Jamison about it a couple of times, and he clearly feels the city ought to be investing some more money into capital improvements in the building, and I've talked to people on the city side who think the Sharks (okay, okay, Silicon Valley Sports and Entertainment; the sharks are a separate company, but down that road lies madness) ought to be returning more to the general fund. I think the balance of power here is fairly even, so I like it.
I've been watching Lew Wolff handle the A's situation since he took over the team with great interest. His proposed deal with fremont is a great example of innovative financing that should work for all parties (the only downside: it's not closely tied to BART, but that can be solved with a bus bridge at reasonable cost). Compare that to the fiasco that is the Raiders, and what Oakland did to the A's in their lust to bring the Raiders back.
I've long in favor of using PSLs for financing, as long as you don't get greedy and screw them up like the Raiders and Oakland did, because in reality, they're use taxes on the people most likely to actually use the building; at the same time, these buildings get used for a lot more than just the team's games, and to that degree, these things are civic resources. Asking the season ticket holders to fund the use of the building by the circus or the monster trucks is just as unfair as asking the city to pay the tab for the season ticket holders…. Where the rational compromise in the middle is, that's the rub, and these situations have been so politicized that there are rarely any openings for rational compromise any more (another reason to cheer on Wolff in Fremont; he's finding a way) — and this polarization is directly the result of overly demanding and greedy owners who've demanded not fair deals, but patronage deals — and two of the worst of this are the people up in Seattle, and our friends over in Oakland. Although, in reality, the city is as much to blame as Davis is, beacuse they basically opened up the kimono and started throwing goodies at Davis, but someone needed to see how irrational and guaranteed to fail the deal being set up was; nobody did, they're going to be paying for that for years, or decades. AND lose the A's as a side effect.
I"m basically that strange geek who, instead of wanting to grow up to be Harmon Killebrew, I grew up wanting to be Buzzie Bavasi. That, of course, never happened (but I did get to meet Bob Bavasi a few times when he was running the Everett Aquasox and we were roadtripping up there in the summers….). I keep hoping that when laurie and I move north in a few years I'll be able to get a job as an usher for the 'Sox, just because I think that'd be fun…
Backup Brain: On curling
Welcome back, Tom — it's damn good to see you again!
And this, in essence, is the attraction of curling. If folks stop snickering about the sport and pay attention, you start to see the complexity and technique involved. It's a game that can be played by 45 year old fat guys with a beer (happily), but to play it well isn't easy. In that way, it's somewhat like billiards or bowling, except that the ice is never (ever) the same, and you're constantly trying to adjust to changing conditions, and in bowling or billiards, if you understand the shot and have practiced enough, you'll make the shot. So in many ways, curling's tougher than both — but it's still a sport you can play well into middle age (and beyond) if you want, and it's a sport you can play socially. So there are many aspects to attraction. I don't expect curling rinks to sprout up in southern states, but I do hope to see the interest and growth continue down in the states — it has a definite place in the recreational sports universe, if people pay attention.
To be honest, the curling in the olympics wasn't that interesting to me, because substandard ice led to sub-standard curling. But they did the best they could, and the bronze medal in the men can only help visibility.
I was having this discussion at work this week, and someone said they felt it didn't deserve to be in the olympics because there's no endurance aspect to it. Not all sports are endurance tests or attacks on your VO2Max — if you look at things like baseball, it's more skill and timing, or archery is technique and the ability to manage stress. So is target shooting. Yachting and many of the sailing sports are the ability to judge and manage the elements as much as anything — none of them really require a 6 minute mile, much less a four minute one.
Curling ratings went up this Olympics in the states, which I find encouraging — according to one report, CNBC saw ratings 700% higher than their NORMAL programming. Since this olympics didn't have the "newness" of it being the surprise cinderella sport like it did last olympics, it indicates people were tuning in because they were curious and interested, not just because it was this new, weird thing. Here's hoping we can keep moving it forward and make curling more visible in the states….
Backup Brain:
Having a ReplayTV meant that all of that sweet, sweet curling action was just waiting for me to get home from the hospital and plow through it. And I have to admit: up to now, my appreciation for the sport has been a bit of a goof. But after watching hours of it, I've realized that yes, it really is a sport, and that it's a surprisingly interesting, strategic, and cerebral sport, at that.
update: Tom Benjamin talks about the same subject, defining sport in terms of ability to control muscle memory. An interesting concept that may well be on the right track….
Ongoing: Minor League epiphany
Ongoing: Minor League epiphany:
The stadium was partially sunlit and filling up and people were
drinking beer and happy and George was singing "I"m just 23, I don't mind
dyin'", and George is himself a baseball aficionado and one-time semipro player,
and I was thinking of the wonderful sun- and dust-drenched opening
"Church of Baseball" scene from
Bull Durham, and the last
big chords faded just as we got to our seats, and well anyhow, Carl owes
George an apology.
Tim Bray goes to a minor league game, and wonderfully captures why minor league baseball is so damn much fun. I've always wanted to get to Nat Bailey stadium, never have.
He makes one minor mistake — the Northwest League is short season Rookie, not A-ball. A-ball is the next level up (California league and Midwest league, high-A and low-A respectively. No, it doesn't make any more sense than USDA beef ratings, sometimes you just have to let art flow over you). Below SS-R is full-season Rookie, in the Pioneer League, and below that are the camp leagues in Arizona and Florida.
SS-R teams are primarily staffed by kids drafted out of college, so they're older, but just learning how to play the pro game. They tend to be good prospects but rough. It also needs to be remembered that of the 20-some players on a team at that level, 2-3 will see the major leagues, and the rest are, basically being paid to play catch with the real prospects (and may, or may not, be given a chance to prove they're also prospects — but if you aren't annointed, you have to force them to pay attention).
I love the Northwest league — it's in many ways my ideal for the essence of baseball — it's very much community baseball, small, intimate, the players are skilled (not necessarily true over in the Pioneer league, which is the "if we can fix this flaw, we might have something" league), and the players haven't grown the thick skin or the attitude that happens when they hit the majors (to some degree, out of necessity). My favorite parks up there are Everett and Eugene, although I always loved the funkiness of the no-longer-in-the-league Medford (the strangest park was the no-longer-in-the-league Bend, which was little more than an American Legion field with delusions of grandeur, and who's outfield faced the back of a K-mart).
In my years wandering the minors, I've made it to about 22 parks so far (Laurie's a few parks ahead of me…) — from Tucson to Edmonton.
It's a little late now, since the San Jose Giants are in the playoffs (game 2 today at 5, san jose muni), but maybe next year, we should schedule a night at the park for local geeks and bloggers — and Tim, if you're ever down in San Jose, tickets are on me…
some days, you really can go home again.
Some days, I've found, you really can go home again.
Saturday, I went to a baseball game. Not just any game — a Giants game as San Jose muni (see, San Jose already has a baseball team, and it's not the A's). That may not seem like a major thing, but it was, for me. Laurie and I used to be season ticket holders at San Jose, where we'd hang out for upwards of 40-50 games a season. Minor league baseball is different, especially A-ball. 3500 is a huge crowd, and the parks are small and intimate. Our season tickets were row one, over the home dugout, which means maybe (maybe) 50 feet from the foul line. So in a very real way, you aren't watching the game, you're in it (and if you stop paying attention, it'll remind you of that — we had any number of baseballs come visiting, and one bat. I didn't keep the bat, but I should have. I just tossed it back and told him to start using pine tar). Being in that size crowd and that close, by the way, you KNOW they hear you (Ian Lamplugh, phone home. I've lost your email and I want to know if you're still in Victoria, because I owe you dinner for making it to the bigs, guy…)
But as Laurie and I got busier in our lives with work and hockey and other things, going to the games started feeling more like a chore than a joy. And I became increasingly disillusioned with baseball in general as I watched the caretakers of the major leagues continue to screw it up. And then the baby Giants had a couple of awful seasons, and then a couple of people who worked on the team needed to get a real life and real jobs (getting married does that to you), and… we ended up one year not renewing, but planning on going to a few games a year.
The problem, of course, is that once you break a habit, it tends to break in a big way. And I was pretty burnt out on baseball in general, so we never did. For a few years, we just didn't think about it. For the last three, we did — but somehow, it turned into August. And, you know? after a while, it's like "it's been so long, what will they think if we start showing up again? Or will they even remember or care?" — and that sort of inhibits you.
But this year, laurie and I had agreed, it was time to start going again. There's no way we'd survive season tickets, but we can get in half a dozen games, plus we're going to head up to Sacto and amybe down to Fresno for games. Just to start the habit again. My god, I'm even watching baseball on TV again, where in the past years, I watched if laurie turned it on. And I've been at that point in the current project where I hate my job, I havte having no life, I hate having no time to myself, I hate working evenings and six and seven day weeks, and I hate computers (this is, FWIW, actually fairly normal for me, and it usually passes as we get closer to GM, but it's not a development cycle without a lost weekend to exhaustion and a crisis of faith. My boss is used to it, mostly. One of these days, I probably won't get over it, and then I'll know it's time for a new gig).
And Saturday laurie headed up to Seattle again, and the Giants had an afternoon game, and while I had work to do, it was time for some time out. So I wandered on down and bought a ticket, then grabbed dinner at Turkey Mikes BBQ off the left field line, then wandered off and found a place to sit and watch the game. I saw a few of the old regulars — but it was a busy night, and I kept missing them in the crowds. It was a pretty good game — Giants win, combined 1 hitter with the hit coming in the 9th inning (would have been my second no-hitter; good news it was a legitimate, solid hit, and the two errors were also legit). And in the last couple of innings, I started wandering more, just taking in the feel, the character. I finally did run into a couple of my old friends from the earlier days, too, and had nice chats.
One of them saw me walk by, and got the big round eyes and smiled (and to be honest, it felt nice to be recognized like that), and we sat and chatted to the end of the game — his first question was "where's your needlepoint?" (which is a whole 'nother story, but I was famous for showing up and doing needlepoint during the slow times. It drove some players crazy to see me pull it out…). And his daughter is married, and his son, who last time I saw him had just hit puberty, lost his baby fat and gotten his teenager-attitude, is now on scholarship at a good baseball school as a pitcher.
And it was almost as if I'd missed a homestand, not the better part of a decade. And we talked about that — it was a weird feeling; for all of the things at the park that were different (the people, the players, the staff, etc) — it felt as if nothing had changed. Kind of a time warp.
That place was, as my friend so noted, "Cheers". and it's why it keeps drawing us back to it. Like a comfortable pair of shoes, being there just makes things better.
I was made to promise that I would return (this season!) and show up earlier to talk more. And bring Laurie. And I will.
And in some ways, it's too bad. The park is showing its age a bit, and the city (who owns it) is primarily interested in going "big league" with the A's, so investing in the old Muni park is not only not a priority, it's not really an option. Yet most folks don't know (or care) about what they have already, only that they don't have the 40,000 seat sterile, impersonal cavern of a major league park (where you can pay double for your beer and 10X for your ticket for seats in the next county). Eventually, I guess, either the stadium will fall apart or the A's will move in town, and either way, it'll go away. But taht's no excuse for not enjoying it for now.
And so, I hope, I will. As should you, if you love the sport. It is not, by any means the best baseball you'll see on a technical basis — but minor league ball as an experience blows away anything you can get in the majors. And it's full of really fun, neat people –
who'll remember your name, if you give them the chance.
I'll have an order of garlic bread, and later, a churros.. for old times sake. And blue, shake your head. Your eyes are stuck again.

1. Be happy about yourself.
You can work forever just to make that one painting look perfect. This might restrict you from doing more work and might prevent you from doing more work for your clients. Make it look good and if there is time left, make it perfect. Okay that one is kind off common but now the fun starts.
2. Don't try and hit on a girl or guy via chat or something while you have tight deadlines.
Just don't, it takes up enormous amounts of time and concentration. So for all you single sexy artists, just wait until your deadline is finished.
3. Stay in shape, physical and psychological.
First off its always good for you to be in top condition so you can preform way better. But this also helps in a lot of other aspects, for one it helps you sleep better. Feeling good about yourself improves your self confidence and that will also show in your work. Another good reason is self reference photo's, if your better in shape odds are that you're bo

Winter Solstice by *darknatasha Winter Solstice by ~Jaagaa
The Mother [aspect of the Goddess] assumes her role at Beltane, when she weds the Horned God with whom she has dallied as the Maiden since Oestara. As all-mother, she then reigns with her consort the God-King over the year's planting, growing, and harvesting. Her impregnation by him at Oestara is brought to fruition at Yule when she delivers the young Horned God who will replace his sacrificed father. After giving birth to the Horned God, the Mother enters a time of retreat an

Fractal Art is expressive & creative.
Above all Fractal Art is an experimental art form.
The artist is never fully certain what effect variables will have on the image.

Dreamy Theodor KittelsenAs I've previously promised, after the articles about Sulamith Wülfing and about John Bauer, the time comes for an article about Theodor Kittelsen.Dreamy Theodor Kittelsen1 year ago in Art Features More Like This
...Theodor Severin Kittelsen, being a great representant of the Golden Age of Illustration, is one of the countless artists who received more attention and appreciation a long time after their death. I don't say "proper attention", it's still far from it.
His depictions of Scandinavian folklore creatures are said to be equally cannon to the trolls portrayed by the definitely more famous John Bauer. But, unlike Bauer, Kittelsen didn't focus just around trolls (which are, you must admit that, most of Bauer's creations - although his sudden death at young age is
Golden Age of IllustrationGolden Age of Illustration1 year ago in Art Features More Like This
When in the second half of the 19th century newspapers and illustrated books became popular and widespread thanks to improvements in printing technology, many artists found their base to spread their skills. The official time span of the Golden Age of Illustration is said to be from 1880s to 1920s, but it varied a little bit between Europe and America.
While European illustrators were influenced mostly by the Pre-Raphaelites, Art Nouveau and Post-Impressionists (especially by Les Nabis, a group of Parisian artists), their American colleagues focused around Howard Pyle's Brandywine School of American Illustration in the Brandywine Valley.
Amongst the most popular artists of this time we find Arthur Rackham (UK), Howard Pyle (US), Ivan Bilibin (Russia), Theodor Kittelsen (Norway), Edmund Dulac (France), John Bauer (Sweden), Beatrix Potter (UK), N.C. Wyeth (US), Sulamith Wülfing (
Art History: John William Waterhouse:iconarthistoryproject: :iconcommunityrelations:Art History: John William Waterhouse1 year ago in Art Features More Like This
A man of some mystery John William Waterhouse, most affectionately known throughout his lifetime as 'Nino" was born in Rome to his English parents William and Isabella during the wonder years of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood who set the art world alight.
It was his Italian beginnings that first influenced his artistic style as a young man first at school in Leeds, then later at his fathers studio in London where he entered the coveted Royal Academy of Arts at the age of 21, not as a painter; but as a sculptor. Six months later his probationary term ended and he was fully enrolled as a student leading to his first painting exhibits.

Arthur RackhamArthur Rackham was born on the 19th of September 1867 in London and died of cancer at the age of 71 in Limpsfield, Surrey. He's considered to be one of the most recognisable artists of the Golden Age of Illustration in Europe, along with John Bauer and Theodor Kittelsen.Arthur Rackham8 months ago in Art Features More Like This
He was born in a big family - it's enough to mention that he had 11 siblings, but surely plenty of you knows that it wasn't quite unusual in the XIX century and earlier. We know that in his youth, Rackham's health was rather poor - hence he travelled to Australia with his two aunts to improve his condition.
After he returned, he began studying at the Lambeth School of Art. In 1892 he started working as a r
CONTEST IS OPEN"IN THE EMBRACE OF WINTER"CONTEST IS OPEN11 months ago in Personal More Like This
Each season brings a different experiences and emotions, different atmosphere, a different colour pallette.
Winter is a time for reflection and rest, a cycle of life-death-rebirth,
the inward journey, embracing darkness and silence.
Winter days are short, with long nights. The cold weather can make us sad and lethargic.
The season offers a sense of calmness and makes us feel peaceful.
The most romantic time of the year?
A snowy, frosty, cold world or rain and endless grey skies can be beautiful
but some people find that they become seasonally depressed as they receive less light in winter.
People feel tired and sluggish during winter. Too cold, gloomy, depressing?
Do you feel the winter blues or you enjoy the season?
Go back to your memories and keep your focus on your experience and emotions.

Back in 2012 we walked the northern section of Jerusalem's Old City walls. We didn't have time to go south towards the Western Wall that day but it was in my mind to do so. A few weeks ago we made a return visit to complete the circle.
The Ramparts Walk is a great way to see Jerusalem from a different perspective and to peek into places that you would otherwise never see. The present walls were built by Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century, when he restored the ancient walls of the city, and they have served as military fortifications ever since. From 1948 to 1967 Jordanian snipers used the ramparts as a vantage point from which to shoot at Israelis living outside the Old City. You can still see bullet holes on many of the older buildings facing the Old City.
The walk along the southern walls took us from Jaffa Gate to Zion Gate and let us off near Dung Gate, not far from the Western Wall Plaza and the Jewish Quarter. On one side of the wall we could see inside the Armenian Quarter, the smallest quarter of the Old City which houses the smaller Armenian Compound that is private and gated, and from the other we enjoyed panoramic views of modern Jerusalem including Yemin Moshe, the King David Hotel and behind it the tip of the YMCA tower.
As we walked around the walls we could see the Armenian Theological Seminary, the cemetery of Dormition Abbey and the Church of St. Peter. The stables of the Israeli Police surprised us (picture no.3). Known as the Kishle, from the Turkish word for barracks, they were built by the Ottomans in the 19th century on the site believed to have housed King Herod's magnificent palace 2,000 years ago. Arranged around a large courtyard they currently house police offices, stables and guardrooms.
Continuing on we soon had a good view of the Mount of Olives, Har HaZeitim. It is named for the olive groves that once covered its slopes and has been used as a Jewish cemetery for over 3,000 years. It is also described in the New Testament as the place from which Jesus ascended to heaven.
We saw the Arab neighbourhood of Silwan which is built into the southern slope of the Mount of Olives. Silwan derives from the Greek "Siloam", which comes from the ancient Hebrew name "Shiloah", the name of a pool in the area used to collect water from the Gichon Spring, the chief water source of ancient Jerusalem. Shiloah makes several appearances in both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. The roots of the modern village were put down in 1882 by Yemenite Jews but it became entirely Arab after the Arab Riots of the late 1930's. Political tensions are still high.
Descending to the Dung Gate, we had just a short walk to the Western Wall, HaKotel HaMa'aravi. The last remnant of the ancient wall that surrounded the Holy Temple's courtyard, it is the most significant site in the world for the Jewish people. Traditionally people write notes to God and place them between the ancient stones of the Wall. After a morning steeped in history we had time for a short prayer and then a return to modern times with delicious pizza in the Jewish Quarter. The wall climbing had made us all hungry!

I was recently asked to put together a desert island list by Stephen Foster, the Editor of More About Advertising, a bare knuckle, alternative UK Blog about the Ad business.
For those in the US, the idea is based on a ridiculously long running BBC radio show called Desert Island Discs, where people are asked which 11 songs you would like to accompany you, when stranded on a desert island.
Only it's Ads. (weird but true).
However it was an interesting and enjoyable exercise and I thought I would share it. And one I recommend everyone to consider. So here it is:
-I have always loved advertising that made an audience feel something about a product or company.
Advertising that made them feel something different, something exhilarating, powerful, inspiring and even magical.
Not advertising that purely imparted knowledge of something, why it may be better, make the viewer better, why the viewer may need it.
The age old Latin Vs Anglo- Saxon approach to advertising argument I suppose.
If you can capture that, I believe you have something remarkably powerful.
Sir John Hegarty of BBH in London doesn't necessarily disagree "the appeal of a brand can be based on not just functional performances, but on how they look and feel. More and more brands are in the fashion business".
And generally, (although generalizations are generally wrong) I felt that US advertising tended more towards this aim, more than the UK. Maybe that's changed, but I believe it was the case. And maybe that's why I've found myself in NY for the past 20 odd years.
So that's what I've based my selection on. Advertising that makes you feel something.
When I'm on the island all alone, I'm going to need all the emotional attachment I can get.
So here goes, In no particular order:
Levi's. Route 66

With southern California fighting wind-driven flames and spot fires breaking out across northern California, firefighters have fingered at least one arsonist: an unlucky squirrel.
Redding firefighters say the squirrel set off the blaze when it shorted out a power line, caught fire and dropped into dry vegetation. Battalion Chief Gerry Gray says it took 18 firefighters and six fire engines to fight the fire that started behind a Redding restaurant.
The fire briefly threatened a home before it was contained Monday.
Redding Electric Utility spokesman Pat Keener says about 200 customers might have noticed their electricity flicker when the squirrel shorted out the high-voltage power line. But the incident did not cause a power outage. (Associated Press story from the Redding Searchlight)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Tom Koch HighlandPR (330) 996-4140 NATIONAL RUNNING ORGANIZATION SAYS RITE AID CLEVELAND MARATHON IS ONE OF FASTEST IN THE COUNTRY CLEVELAND, (April 15, 2005) – Marathon runners participating in the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon are among the fastest in the country according to statistical information released by a professional running organization. RunningUSA, a non-profit professional association devoted to improving the status of road racing and long distance running in the United States, has released its annual marathon report which concludes that Cleveland's marathon course had the fastest median times in 2004 among all larger marathons with over 1,000 finishers. The median time recorded by computer chips worn by athletes for timing purposes, was 4:04. The report, prepared by the Road Running Information Center of RunningUSA said Cleveland and Philadelphia "remain the fastest of the larger marathons RRIC had complete results for in 2004." "Not only is Cleveland one of the fastest marathons in the country, it is also one of the most scenic," said Jack Staph, executive director of the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon & 10K. "Our new marathon course, which we unveiled last year, takes runners on a scenic tour of the city of Cleveland that includes numerous ethnic neighborhoods, a revitalized downtown and the wonderful park-like setting around University Circle; capped off with a breathtaking view of Lake Erie in the final miles of the race." RRIC says the 230 marathons in the U.S. grew by 3.7 percent last year over the previous year. The report shows dramatic growth in the number of U.S. marathon finishers since records were first kept in 1976. The total number of finishers in 1976 was 25,000 compared to 423,000 finishers last year. The RRIC report concludes that there were 58 marathons in the U.S. last year that had 1,000 or more finishers, compared to only 26 marathons fifteen years ago. In addition to being the fastest marathon in the U.S., the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon is also one of the 50 longest running marathons in the country. For additional information or to register for this year's marathon on May 22, visit www.clevelandmarathon.com. To view the complete RRIC Annual Marathon Report, visit www.runningusa.org. ###

New pro-Israel Arab party has Jewish support

Bishara Shlayan, an Israeli Christian Arab from Nazareth who is creating a new Arab political party, says many citizens, including Jews, are contacting him to express their support, and some of them want to donate.
"A 78-year-old Jew from Jerusalem contacted me and said, 'You are making me happy – people like you can make peace,'" he told The Jerusalem Post in an interview this week.
However, many Arabs who back him, including Muslims, fear to go public with their support, he said.
The party supports Israel as a Jewish state and national or army service for Arabs. According to Shlayan, Arabs need to "do something for the state," and "there need to be changes."
"I want every Jew in the world to have a place – a state to go back to – but I do not want to lose this state, and that is why I am for separation – two states," he explained, adding that there needed to be an agreement between the Palestinians and Israelis.
It seems that the party is a "startup" at this point and that if Shlayan is to succeed, he needs to recruit skilled members who can help him transmit his message effectively and run a campaign before the next elections.
He is not an experienced politician, describing himself instead as an ordinary working man.
His party, he stressed, is not just geared toward Christian Arabs, but is open to all Israelis. He explained that its name had been changed from Bnei Brit Hahadasha (Allies of the New Covenant) to just Bnei Brit (Allies) in order to get more Jewish support. Talk of a new covenant disturbed some Jewish supporters, as the name in Hebrew also means the New Testament.
Shlayan said Arabs were always acting against the government, but that opposition to the government should be in the form of democratic protest, not "violence or racist opposition."
The waving of Palestinian or other Arab state flags worries him.
"I want people to raise the Israeli flag," he said, adding that his first project would be to change the educational curriculum in the Arab sector so that children were taught "to be proud to raise the Israeli flag."
He said he was planning to go to Arab schools soon to start this initiative.
Another issue the new party plans to address is the lack of Christian representation in Israel. Until now, said Shlayan, Arab Christians voted for a gamut of parties, from Arab party Balad to the Likud. In the past, they tended to vote for Balad, which has a nationalist ideology and less of an emphasis on Islam compared to other Arab parties in the country.
Asked about Christian Balad MK Basel Ghattas, Shlayan said the MK did not truly represent Christians because he had adopted Balad's ideas.
"Because I am a Christian, I can understand Jews, and the fact that I grew up in the Arab world means I can understand them as well," said Shlayan. "I love everybody and can unite them."
Nonetheless, he said he had been having difficulty publishing in the Israeli Arab media, because the other Arab parties had been telling them not to publish stories about his party. In addition, he said Israeli Arab publications expected to be paid for stories covering political parties and politicians, and since he did not have his party up and running yet, this was a hindrance.
Asked if he would enter a coalition even though Arab parties usually refuse, he responded that Arab parties were making a mistake by not entering coalitions.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas at ang arnis!
