I've been working on my current painting 'The Rashomon Effect' quite a bit recently. I have been concentrating on the two right hand side images more, particularly the magnifying glasses.
You can see my efforts on my Ted Coney's Family Portraits website on the NEWS AND REVIEWS page, where Daniel has posted the latest pictures of my progress.
Is it finished? Probably not, so I shall continue to fiddle around with it until Christmas.
I know I want to redo the background, so it is perfectly flat and I still want to try and get more 'tremor ' into the upside down bed - the old man's view.
As I'll be closing the gallery for the winter in early December I'll hopefully entice one of the local newspapers to run a story on it, to bring in a few more visitors before the end of the season.

The other week we visited the galleries at Compton Verney to see the British Folk Art exhibition and very interesting it was too.
I particularly liked the Bellamy Quilt of 1890, which was made by a newly engaged couple to portray their shared interests and images of the period. These included Queen Victoria and Aly Sloper, a popular strip cartoon character of the time.
I like the idea of using cartoon characters in my paintings also, but perhaps in a more subtle way. I am using the cinema (though they also appeared in comics) characters, Laurel and Hardy in my next painting 'Against The Light '. They will represent two cousins of my mother's, who were young men in about the same period.
As Laurel and Hardy are going to appear as shadows in my work, I have been busy cutting into black card and making them as articulated puppets, so I can change their positions. I am also making a translucent set and will decide which to use, once I have produced some preliminary studies. Watch this space.

Last Sunday I had a party of eight foreign students visit
 Ted Coney's Family Portraits. They were very attentive and seemed interested in everything I said about the paintings.
They were delighted to see my 1931 Morris Minor, so I showed them my latest painting which involves the car - 'Dear Reginald Owen'.
However, I think I may have lost them a bit, when I tried to explain how I had used the car as a time machine, going back to the 1930s.
'rather like Dr Who's Tardis' I said enthusiastically. Obviously Dr Who hadn't travelled as far as China and Russia, which is were the visitors came from.

I realised to late that I had made a bad mistake, when I saw sixteen expressionless female faces staring back at me.
I had just done a fifteen minute X factor style audition, trying to impress the ladies of the Women's Institute and convince them that they ought to employ me. This was to give my lecture,
 'On The Edge', which is about my paintings, (you can see details about it on my website) to their members.
As I only had a short time, I decided not to give them any hint of the lecture at all (well, no one had paid me to come) but to show them the introductory film I use when visitors come to my pop-up gallery. Ofcourse then I go onto explain what the paintings are about but on it's own it just left the poor women puzzled and confused.
What had Muffin the Mule got to do with family life? Well now they will never know.
The guy after me was showing wildlife in Botswana and I am sure he got a more enthusiastic response.
Anyway, what do I want with the W.I.? I am giving my talk to the U3A in November.

A few weeks ago I did a charity ride on my old 1940 bicycle raising money for MAGPAS. I cycled 40 miles in a day, along the Ouse Washes and across the Fens.
This is a very flat, exposed part of the country and I did have a head wind for most of the way. However, I am very fond of this part of the world and I got to thinking, while battling against the elements what a great area it would be to do more research on.
In the past, I have used journeys on my bike as metaphors for ideas about family life. For instance:
'Diamond Sutra', 'The Enigma of the Chinese Mask' and ' Snow Angels and No Angels' (the latter two can be seen on my PRINTS FOR SALE page) all had their starting points in real journeys.
I am quite interested in the 'Droves' and what all their different names mean, but this is something to be investigated at a much later date.
 I still have 'The Rathomon Effect 'to finish and then two more paintings to work on, after that. Thinking about it, did keep me going though, when my legs where beginning to fail.

A few weeks ago, the editor of the magazine 'Cambridge' came to visit Ted Coney's Family Portraits.
This was with a view to doing an article for the November issue about my work and the pop-up gallery. She seemed very enthusiastic at the time, even talking about the different paintings she wanted to be photographed, but I have not heard from her since.
As it is one of those lifestyle magazines, maybe we were not glossy enough, or fitted into their idea of a perfect home?!
The gallery has been featured in such magazines as 'Agenda' and 'Venue' before (see my NEWS AND REVIEWS page), but maybe this one was not interested in my work enough, but were to polite, to say.
 If I don't hear by next week, I shall assume it is off. At least the editor took the trouble to come.

It was suggested (though tactfully) that I was overacting a bit, during filming a sequence for my new virtual tour on the theme of 'Simultaneity'. I was trying to put a bit of action into the scene, where I appear, 'Tardis like' to be flying back in time to Hollywood in my 1931 Morris Minor.
This was to help describe the ideas behind my painting 'Dear Reginald Owen', in which I am contrasting the search for somewhere to live in 1930s America by a cousin of mine, with our discovery of a new location in this country.
To create the illusion that I was flying through space in the car, Colin (who is making the film) covered some of the windows with green paper, so that he can project moving images onto them, later.
You will be able to access the tour from my website eventually, but for now you might like to see a photo of me in action - just click on the Facebook icon, to the left of any page on

With all the hype about the 'Matisse Cutouts' exhibition, I thought I had better go and see it before it closed.
What interested me most, were some of his semi abstract dance figures painted for the Barnes mural. The way they disappeared off the edges of the composition is something I would like to achieve in my next painting 'Against the Light'. I am using the images of the 1930s comics, Laurel and Hardy to represent my mother's cousins, Billy and Dickie, but I want to suggest their shapes, rather than make them too obvious as characters.
I also found the other exhibition on at Tate Modern, very useful. This was a retrospective of the Russian artist, Malevich, who painted the ultimate picture, the 'Black Square' painting.
However, after painting himself into a corner, as it were, he started to produce more figurative images again. These were highly stylised figures and the way he applied the paint might also be useful for the way I want to work.
So, all in all, a very useful, if exhausting day.

It was the Charles Darwin exhibition that I saw several years ago at the Fitzwilliam Museum, which inspired my painting ' Love That Dares ' (which you can see on the ART LECTURE page of my website.)
 Darwin's thoughts on animal's use camouflage to protect themselves, in his book 'Origins of the Species' made me think about how I could translate the idea onto humans. In the event, I displayed animals in my painting too, albeit puppet ones!
 The title of my painting suggests a more hopeful sign for the future - you don't have to be one of the crowd to survive.
Anyway, we finally got to visit Darwin's family home, Down House, last weekend, and see where all his ideas and experiments were done.
 We also viewed his Billiard room and got rid of all his stress.

I've just asked Daniel to add the information about studying Painting and Printmaking at
Bath Academy of Art in the 1960s, to the Home page of my website.
It seems obvious now that it should be included, but I hadn't really thought about it, until recently.
Having my Retrospective at the Babylon Gallery has given me a taste for pushing the work to a wider audience.
 I have decided to try and get another exhibition within the next ten years (80th birthday party?). It won't be easy, because as I don't sell my paintings, I can't approach a commercial gallery.
As I intend to refer to the website, to any Curator's I approach, it seems only right that I should have something in about my early training.
I've already had a very nice letter of refusal from the director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, but that was before we put this information in.
 Maybe I'll try him again in a few years time.

When I made my painting 'If The Boats Come' (you can see it on my website) I used the model boats we always sail at Sheringham every year, as a metaphor for returning members of the family.
Since some of the boats in the painting are represented as knitted and beginning to unravel (or are they been drawn in?) the work attempts to raise questions about family ties, and how strong they might be.
The attendance at the get together was disappointing compared to other years, when nearly thirty family members had come for the weekend. However, there had been a good turnout at Magnus's wedding at Christmas and my 70th birthday brought twenty six of us together. Another group of the family had lunch in France earlier this month and some will be meeting up again for Emily's birthday in a few weeks time.
 Leo (from New Zealand), Max and Ben did ring us up while we were in Sheringham, to see if we were coping without them - and yes, we still sailed the boats.

I have used the TV puppet, Sooty, several times in my paintings, namely for 'Duet' and 'Offrenda' (you can see the latter in the link from the PRINTS FOR SALE page on my website).
 Visitors to Ted Coney's Family Portraits always see the archive material for each painting and the ones using Sooty are no exception. I have a collection of ephemera dating back 60 years, including puppets, models, books etc.
I already had Sooty handpuppets from the 1950s and 1980s, so I was delighted to discover a third one from about 1970 in the loft (did we breed it?) recently.
Sooty has gradually transformed from a pale yellow rat like creature into the cuddly orange teddy bear he is today.
I noticed that Sooty has recently returned to television, where he first appeared in the early fifties. To celebrate, I bought a Sooty comic from the newsagents to add to my collection. (about every ten years it's interesting to see how the style of graphics changes)

We have just had a wonderful holiday in France, staying with our family.
Many of the best moments were with the grandchildren.
There was the morning spent sitting side by side with Poppy (aged three), each of us doing a painting in our sketchbooks, of the old farmhouse we were staying in. Poppy was sharing my watercolour set and was reminded to wash her brush every time she needed a new colour, which she solemnly did.
The other was with Barnaby (aged six) looking around an art gallery. I showed him some Renaissance paintings and the artist's use of gold leaf to bring out the religious nature of the work. I reminded Barnaby that I had used gold leaf to represent him in a more abstract painting (entitled 'Minglelands' ) about his parents marriage. He then questioned me closely about what gold leaf was and how to use it.
'Like working with butterflies wings' seemed to satisfy him.

Readers of my blog will know that I am constantly trying to create more space for
Ted Coney's Family Portraits, as the collection of paintings and objects, continues to grow.
I have been thwarted in the past by building regulations in my attempt to open up our loft space as another gallery.
As we are not allowed to have an internal staircase from the first to the second floor, I have been exploring the idea with Julie, our architect, the idea of having a 'beautiful' fire escape on the outside.
However, inspite of her ingenious plan of having an inverted dormer doorway in the modern section of the house, the whole thing was beginning to look to intrusive (complete with spiral staircase) to comply with listed buildings rules.
We are now exploring the possibility of building over the garage and studio, so she is preparing some drawings for that.
Feeling frustrated about the lack of progress on the loft, I then had another brilliant notion - so simple, I can't think why we had never thought of it before.
 But it will take another blog to tell you about it.

What if I don't like the work? Will he try and sell us something?
I hope I have managed to debunk these and other myths about Ted Coney's Family Portraits in a recent article that went to 9,000 homes in Ely. I was given the opportunity of writing something in the new ELY I magazine and I thought I would try and use it to encourage more visitors to book a tour at my pop-up gallery.
If you didn't receive a copy, you can still read my article on the NEWS AND REVIEWS page of my website. Scroll down to Reviews and Articles and it's top of the list of stories at the moment. Once you've clicked on it, turn to page 9.

To celebrate the Tour de France, I took my bike to Aquafest last Sunday and parked it near the river. As it displays one of my Ted Coney's Family Portraits posters, it's another way of advertising the gallery.
 I was quite near the Ely Cycling Club display and I think they were impressed (or thought I was a mad, old fool) when I told them about my epic 800 mile cycle ride on my 1940 bike to Scotland, ten years ago. You can see the painting 'Diamond Sutra' I made as a result of the trip, if you scroll down to April 2010 in the Reviews and Articles section on the NEWS AND REVIEWS page of my website. If you want to see me on the bike, scroll down even further to June 2004.
On Tuesday I went into Cambridge to get the bike serviced and cycled part of the route that the Tour de France had done on the previous day. I saw the stands but the crowds had gone.

Have been working on my latest painting 'The Rashomon Effect', recently. I think I've got most areas working now except for the view into the bedroom by my grandmothers ex- fiancée. I have added to the area inside the magnifying glass several times but have finally painted it all out. I wanted it to appear out of focus as seen by an unsteady eye, but it just looks a mess!
When I made studies with the magnifying glass from a distance during my research, I discovered that the image appears upside down and smaller than the area around it.
I want to use this effect in the painting, to show that the old man's view of the room will be disorientated, yet still focusing on the bed.
You can see my effects so far, on the NEWS AND REVIEWS page of my website. I'll keep persevering.

Just as I was leaving the Cathedral the other day, one of the staff came forward and said she had bought one of my pictures a few years ago. I realised that this lady had bid for a tiny painting I had donated to ADEC to help raise money for the Babylon Gallery.
I had been making a series of 15 paintings entitled 'Snow Angels and No Angels', each one dedicated to a different female member of the family. The first one was in memory of our stillborn daughter, Fay , whom I saw as one of five snow angels.
As I had one extra canvas, I had reproduced Fay's picture again for the auction and called it
 'An extra Snow Angel'
It's current owner very kindly said she still loved the painting and saw different things in it every day.
You can see 'Snow Angels and No Angels' on the HOME page of my website and if you want to view them larger, go to my PRINTS FOR SALE page.

I got a belated birthday present the other week. My sister-in- law bought me a miniature bicycle to go in my collection. It is almost an exact replica of my real bike - all black with sit up and beg handlebars, covered- in gears and large basket.
She originally got it to go outside the dolls house but as I have another couple of bikes there, I had another use for it.
In one of the showcases, I have four items to represent the 'circles of a journey' - the compass, the map measurer, the magnifying glass and the bicycle wheel. The wheel was represented by a minute plastic bike I got in a cracker one Christmas, only the new edition is much better.
I used all the objects on a journey I made several years ago to Suffolk, to make the painting
' The Enigma of the Chinese Mask '. The painting is all about symbolising the ups and downs of family life with a real journey, made by bike along country lanes and busy main roads.
You can see the painting if you go to my PRINTS FOR SALE page on the website and if you look very carefully (click on the painting to make it larger) you can see these four 'tools' in the biggest canvas.

Hazel always thinks I am being too theatrical when I say that I need to get everything ready early, when I have a booking for Ted Coney's Family Portraits, and then rest before the visitors arrive. It does feel like a performance, albeit a low key one.
I remember reading that the great Edwardian actress, Dame Edith Evans was exactly the same (in fact we saw her briefly fall asleep on stage once, but that's another story).
However, last Sunday didn't go according to plan. I now have tours at 2pm OR 3pm as I have found over the years that if it is going well, then the visit can last up to an hour or more.
 I had some of my students at 2pm and they were a lovely audience and I felt that was it for the day. To my consternation another visitor arrived just as they were leaving and I had to start all over again.
The second visitor hadn't booked but had tried to phone me, so I felt obliged to go ahead as she seemed so keen.
I now realise that I only have the strength to do one tour a day now, as like Dame Edith, I'm getting on in years.

I heard that Frank Whitford, the Sunday Times art critic and art historian died recently. I knew him as the art history teacher at Hometon College when I was working next door at Hills Road.
He was a clever man, yet warm, generous and very down to earth. He was always giving my department art books and gave wonderful talks to our students.
I met him once by chance, when we were both Christmas shopping in Cambridge. He said he was absolutely desperate as he couldn't think what to buy any of his family. I told him that I had just bought everyone blow up parrots from the shop behind were we were standing. He thought this was a brilliant idea and went off to do exactly the same.
He had promised to write the forward to my tour guide when I started
 Ted Coney's Family Portraits but sadly ill health overtook him and it never happened.
 I wonder if he would have mentioned the parrots?

'Action this day' is what Winston Churchill said to his civil servants, when he got a call from the code breakers at Bletchley Park, begging for more resources.
I have always believed that a cousin of my mother's worked there during the war but she died before telling us the full story.
I made a painting about it entitled 'Tea For 222' several years ago, as I wanted to show how two of my family had led extraordinary lives during the second world war and yet never talked about it during old age.
You can see the painting when you come to visit Ted Coney's Family Portraits and read more about it in the press stories on my NEWS AND REVIEWS page.
Anyway, Hazel and I finally got to see Bletchley Park last Friday and spent a fascinating day there.
I didn't find out any more about my relative but there were 10,000 people working on site over the course of the war, many of them women. I am sure she only played a minor role but we know she did secret war work in that part of the country, never wore uniform and had been working at Hull University prior to this posting. It makes an intriguing story.

I am now working on my latest painting 'The Rashomon Effect' and you can see it's progress on the NEWS AND REVIEWS page of my website.
I am trying to decide how to deal with the view inside my grandmother's quizzer (magnifying glass) as although a small area, it's perhaps one of the most important parts of the painting.
As all the participants within the painting have a different view of the same image, I want to make each one very different.
I think my grandmother was quite blind at the time but was to vain to let anyone realise.

I opened Ted Coney's Family Portraits last weekend for the new season with a family of four doing the first tour. As one of them had been a couple of years before, when I had given my 'Journeys' tour, I gave them 'Time' on this occasion. It all seemed to go well and I got some very enthusiastic comments in my visitors book at the end.
Just as I was closing up, the doorbell rang. It was another lady who wanted a tour. She said she had enjoyed my exhibition at the Babylon Gallery and my appearance on TV?!
I was to polite to correct her, but maybe my last radio programme had been so illuminating that she imagined she could see it in pictures.
I haven't managed to get on national television since I appeared on a news programme giving rides for charity in my Morris Minor, ten years ago. Maybe I don't need to.
Ted Coney's Family Portraitshttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-721631961674392348.post-40431359716434493642014-05-08T09:33:00.000-07:002014-05-08T09:33:17.120-07:00Last Piece Of The Puzzle
About ten years ago, I decided that I wanted all my paintings framed by the Trumpington Gallery, when I could afford it.
 Some had been done by them already, ofcourse, but we have been steadily working through the earlier ones, (getting one or two reframed each year), to bring them up to the same high standard.
The last one has just been delivered, and will be up in time for when I reopen
 Ted Coney's Family Portraits this Sunday.
 The painting is entitled '30 DAYS' and is all about our month's holiday in Sheringham, many years ago. Each day's events are painted on a wooden jigsaw piece and they all fit together. Only, there is a break in the painting where Hazel dislocated her kneecap and ended up on crutches. With two small children, it was some holiday!
Anyway, you can see it, and all my other paintings, when you visit.

Jae Jarrell
Born in Cleveland, Elaine "Jae" Jarrell attended Bowling Green State University in Ohio before moving to Chicago. She attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the late 1950s and early 1960s. She married artist Wadsworth Jarrell in 1967 and with him helped form what became the African Commune of Bad Relevant Artists (AfriCOBRA) in 1968. Jae was a gifted clothing designer and contributed hand-made and adorned garments to AfriCOBRA exhibitions in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
She later took graduate courses at Howard University and the Parsons School of Design in New York. Her original designs of Afro-centric garments were widely exhibited in American museum exhibitions and were featured in magazines including Ebony and the International Review of African American Art. Jae owned a vintage men's clothing shop in New York for many years before moving to Cleveland in 2009. "You speak through your work. We can all do something. You speak through your medium."

Mister Rogers and the Dalai Lama
15 Reasons Mister Rogers Was the Best Neighbor Ever
1. Even Koko the Gorilla Loved Him
Most people have heard of Koko, the Stanford-educated gorilla who could speak about 1000 words in American Sign Language, and understand about 2000 in English. What most people don't know, however, is that Koko was an avid Mister Rogers' Neighborhood fan. As Esquire reported, when Fred Rogers took a trip out to meet Koko for his show, not only did she immediately wrap her arms around him and embrace him, she did what she'd always seen him do onscreen: she proceeded to take his shoes off!
2. He Made Thieves Think Twice
According to a TV Guide profile, Fred Rogers drove a plain old Impala for years. One day, however, the car was stolen from the street near the TV station. When Rogers filed a police report, the story was picked up by every newspaper, radio and media outlet around town. Amazingly, within 48 hours the car was left in the exact spot where it was taken from, with an apology on the dashboard. It read, "If we'd known it was yours, we never would have taken it."
3. He Watched His Figure to the Pound
In covering Rogers' daily routine (waking up at 5; praying for a few hours for all of his friends and family; studying; writing, making calls and reaching out to every fan who took the time to write him; going for a morning swim; getting on a scale; then really starting his day), writer Tom Junod explained that Mr. Rogers weighed in at exactly 143 pounds every day for the last 30 years of his life. He didn't smoke, didn't drink, didn't eat the flesh of any animals, and was extremely disciplined in his daily routine. And while I'm not sure if any of that was because he'd mostly grown up a chubby, single child, Junod points out that Rogers found beauty in the number 143. According to the piece, Rogers came "to see that number as a gift… because, as he says, "the number 143 means 'I love you.' It takes one letter to say 'I' and four letters to say 'love' and three letters to say 'you.' One hundred and forty-three."
4. He Saved Both Public Television and the VCR
Strange but true. When the government wanted to cut Public Television funds in 1969, the relatively unknown Mister Rogers went to Washington. Almost straight out of a Capra film, his 5-6 minute testimony on how TV had the potential to give kids hope and create more productive citizens was so simple but passionate that even the most gruff politicians were charmed. While the budget should have been cut, the funding instead jumped from $9 to $22 million. Rogers also spoke to Congress, and swayed senators into voting to allow VCR's to record television shows from the home. It was a cantankerous debate at the time, but his argument was that recording a program like his allowed working parents to sit down with their children and watch shows as a family.
5. He Might Have Been the Most Tolerant American Ever
Mister Rogers seems to have been almost exactly the same off-screen as he was onscreen. As an ordained Presbyterian minister, and a man of tremendous faith, Mister Rogers preached tolerance first. Whenever he was asked to castigate non-Christians or gays for their differing beliefs, he would instead face them and say, with sincerity, "God loves you just the way you are." Often this provoked ire from fundamentalists.
6. He Was Genuinely Curious About Others
Mister Rogers was known as one of the toughest interviews because he'd often befriend reporters, asking them tons of questions, taking pictures of them, compiling an album for them at the end of their time together, and calling them after to check in on them and hear about their families. He wasn't concerned with himself, and genuinely loved hearing the life stories of others. Amazingly, it wasn't just with reporters. Once, on a fancy trip up to a PBS exec's house, he heard the limo driver was going to wait outside for 2 hours, so he insisted the driver come in and join them (which flustered the host). On the way back, Rogers sat up front, and when he learned that they were passing the driver's home on the way, he asked if they could stop in to meet his family. According to the driver, it was one of the best nights of his life—the house supposedly lit up when Rogers arrived, and he played jazz piano and bantered with them late into the night. Further, like with the reporters, Rogers sent him notes and kept in touch with the driver for the rest of his life.
7. He Was Color-blind
Literally. He couldn't see the color blue. Of course, he was also figuratively color-blind, as you probably guessed. As were his parents who took in a black foster child when Rogers was growing up.
8. He Could Make a Subway Car full of Strangers Sing
Once while rushing to a New York meeting, there were no cabs available, so Rogers and one of his colleagues hopped on the subway. Esquire reported that the car was filled with people, and they assumed they wouldn't be noticed. But when the crowd spotted Rogers, they all simultaneously burst into song, chanting "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood." The result made Rogers smile wide.
A few more things about him…
9. He Got into TV Because He Hated TV. The first time he turned one on, he saw people angrily throwing pies in each other's faces. He immediately vowed to use the medium for better than that. Over the years he covered topics as varied as why kids shouldn't be scared of a haircut, or the bathroom drain (because you won't fit!), to divorce and war.
10. He Was an Ivy League Dropout. Rogers moved from Dartmouth to Rollins College to pursue his studies in music.
11. He Composed all the Songs on the Show, and over 200 tunes.
12. He Was a perfectionist, and Disliked Ad Libbing. He felt he owed it to children to make sure every word on his show was thought out.
13. Michael Keaton Got His Start on the Show as an assistant — helping puppeteer and operate the trolley.
14. Several Characters on the Show are Named for His Family.Queen Sara is named after Rogers' wife, and the postman Mr. McFeely is named for his maternal grandfather who always talked to him like an adult, and reminded young Fred that he made every day special just by being himself. Sound familiar? It was the same way Mister Rogers closed every show.
15. The Sweaters. Every one of the cardigans he wore on the show had been hand-knit by his mother.

I went to an interview at a great London agency and was turned down because my hair and skin wasn't agency standard Skin is another battle but I've been to the doctors and been prescribed some tablets which will hopefully help as I've tried everything else! So now it's just hair! Grrrr lol! xx
*I'll just throw this out there :I'm not a hairdresser at all but I've had lot's of experience with weave being black myself (with mixed race hair having Indian and Irish blood) and also doing weave for others to a high standard.*
If you want to get top notch natural hair first thing first you need to get rid of the weave! It's a bold move but it's the first step and it's one that works. I haven't worn extensions in any form for two years and I haven't relaxed my hair for two years too and the quality of my hair has improved drastically. I wear a headscarf so that probably helps too !
There are so many ways to improve the natural state of black hair were gonnah be here forever if I list them all. But firstly, bin the weave. The weave puts stress on your hair and pulls on it. Glue or sew it mashes it up.
-Next wear your hair in a protective style. Braid it before bed...every night without fail. Wear a silk scarf. Silk scarfs do my nut in because they slide around so I wrap one around my pillow instead. This stops friction and also stops absorbing the oils in your hair like a cotton case would. Cotton is your enemy
-Wash your hair ! There is a big misconception amongst black women that washing our hair isn't good and makes it dry. Use a moisturising shampoo. I like Aussies shampoo and conditioner. At least twice a week and con-poo inbetween.
-Products- Do you use DAX or any of those greases ? Stop, it does nothing for your hair just makes it heavy and greasy. For the last 6+ months I have only been using shampoo, conditioner and pure olive/coconut oil. Just that. No off the shelf stuff. I put it in whilst my hair is damp and then protective style it. On a girly night I put olive oil hair products in my hair but that's only in a blue moon.
-Reduce use of heat on the hair and when you do use a protectant. I air dry my hair always.
- Trim those split ends. I hate seeing my hair a tiny bit shorter but it helps in the long run.
This way might be hard for you to follow because protective styles don't look great. But lucky me I wear a headscarf so when I go out I'm wearing these ugly doo-doo plaits underneath aha but when I take the plaits out it's really nice and curly.(Being a muslim has it's benefits ) You Tube-braid outs.
If your not ready then I would suggest doing the above but instead wearing a wig/quick weave in the meantime. (Still damamging) If your hair is relaxed I would advise you to stop doing that too. I bet your natural hair is gorgeous, you just have to let it be For modelling, I think you should invest in a full lace wig. A really good one costs alot of money but it is a investment. It should be human hair this allows you to put your hair up and style it as you wish

The accident happened just after 6:30 a.m. near the NW 74th Street exit.
According to CBS4 news partner the Miami Herald, Princess Jocelyn Llanos, 24, was driving the wrong direction on the northbound lanes of the Homestead Extension of the Florida Turnpike early Sunday morning when she crashed into a truck driven by Raymond Howard Jackson, 47. Both drivers died at the scene, according to the Herald.
Both vehicles were so badly damaged that they were taken to the county's Medical Examiners Office where the bodies were removed.

Jericho Ministries is a Christian non-profit organization in Tegucigalpa, Honduras which began as a result of a desire from God placed in the heart of a missionary to rescue those trapped in prostitution. The ministry is comprised of a rehab center in the country, facilities in the city which house the Elementary and High School for the women's children, a store to sell the products made by Jericho women, and the offices. Recently the Lord has led the ministry to reach out specifically to the children of those who are trapped in prostitution or who are at high risk for entering prostitution (De Alto Riesgo or DAR program). Our prayer is that these women and children will come to know their worth in Christ and become all that He has called them to be through discipleship, formal education, practical skills as well as opportunities to serve others who are in need. As you meet these precious women and their children, we believe you will be blessed by witnessing the power of God at work in their lives, breaking the generational chains of prostitution, sexual abuse, poverty, and various addictions that have plagued their families

Kotor, Montenegro
It is not always prudent to use superlatives about a destination, especially as Silversea sails to so many beautiful places around the globe. Superlatives often come back to haunt. Just when you think you've sailed into the most beautiful place imaginable, something that tops it comes along.
It would be hard, however, to top Kotor, situated in Montenegro at the end of Europe's most southerly fjord. The 2.5-hour transit from the Adriatic Sea to the Old Town of Kotor ranks among the world's most beautiful sailings, as beautiful as fjord-rich Norway but with the added bonus of abundant sunshine.
Disembark in Kotor and walk across the street through Gradske Zidine (the ancient Town Walls), along the labyrinth of winding cobbled streets, past piazzas and centuries-old stone buildings.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kotor's medieval Old Town is enclosed within well-preserved defensive walls built between the 9th and 18th centuries. Those walls run almost five kilometres (three miles) and tower up to 20 metres (66 feet). They form a triangular defence system around the Old Town, rising up the hill to Tvrdjava Sv Ivana (St John's Fortress).
If you're feeling energetic — or if you simply want to burn some calories — hike the 1,300 steps to the fortress. Midway up, you'll pass the tiny Crkva Gospe od Zdravlja (Church of Our Lady of Health), built in the 16th century to protect Kotor against the plague.
Prominent steeple of Crkva Gospe od Zkravlja (Church of our Lady of Health).
Steps leading up to St John's Fortress.
At the top, 260 metres (853 feet) above sea level, here's what you'll see: commanding views over the terra-cotta-tile rooftops of the Old Town, the meandering Kotor Bay fjord, your Silversea ship docked beside the city centre, and the rugged pine-forested mountains beyond.
Stunning view from St John's Fortress.
The most beautiful place you've ever visited? You'll have to be the judge of that.
We hope you'll discover the charms of Kotor on a future Silversea voyage.

Legendary contemporary jazz guitarists Paul Brown and Marc Antoine are set to perform on two special "Music under the Stars" voyages aboard our intimate, 540-guest Silver Spirit this year.
These unique music-themed sailings will each feature two concerts on stage in the elegant Show Lounge, as well as an outdoor performance during a sail-away cocktail party on the ship's pool deck (when departing Monte Carlo and St Barts), where the artist will have a chance to meet and mingle with guests. Plus autographed copies of the musician's latest CD will be delivered to each guest's suite.
Marc Antoine will perform aboard Silver Spirit's seven-day Mediterranean cruise (#5334), sailing 2 November from Rome to Barcelona with calls in Livorno, Monte Carlo, Marseille, Porto Mahon, and Palma de Mallorca.
Paul Brown will entertain guests on Silver Spirit's 10-day Caribbean cruise (#5338), sailing roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale on 13 December. Destinations include Tortola, St Maarten, St Barts, San Juan, Samana, and Grand Turk.
Antoine, whose career is highlighted by numerous number-one hits on the contemporary jazz charts, has performed with such music royalty as Sting, Celine Dion, Rod Stewart, Cher, Queen Latifah and others, and has composed and performed for six major movie soundtracks. He tours regularly with contemporary jazz artists Dave Koz, Chris Botti, and Jeff Lorber.
Double Grammy-winning Paul Brown has produced more than 50 number-one hits on the contemporary jazz charts. The guitarist, producer, and composer has worked on projects with such music legends as Al Jarreau, George Benson, Patti Austin, Luther Vandross, Kirk Whalum, Boney James, Larry Carlton, Rick Braun, and many others.
Instead of dealing with the pressure of deadlines and having to plan parties and prepare meals, why not sail away from the stress of the festive season this year and start a relaxing holiday tradition with Silversea?
Imagine dashing through the surf in the paradise islands of the Lesser Antilles, or a safari in the game reserves of South Africa. Or discover the stunning seascapes of Australia, or an unforgettable sunset in Costa Rica.
Come ring in the New Year with Silversea and get a whole new perspective on the one you left behind. Let balmy breezes refresh your spirit as you forge new friendships and raise a glass to a fresh new outlook for 2014! It's the perfect gift to give yourself.
Whether it's a Caribbean cruise or a voyage Down Under, we hope you'll join us on one of these exciting holiday itineraries:

Hey! Ruben Amaro Jr. is still the Phillies General Manager and, with the team 6.5 games back in one of the worst divisions in sports, probably thinks he's doing a great job. Do we have any reason to think the organization isn't convinced of the same thing? Not really. Despite their performance on the field, the team has a few viable trade chips that, if the front office FINALLY is willing to part with, could bring in some much needed youth and help reset a floundering franchise in a new direction. Just a few thoughts on the matter, courtesy of yours truly.
If nothing else, it does sound like Ruben Amaro Jr. is ready to potentially start shopping some of the team's players. Problem is, he doesn't necessarily have the best track record as far as bringing back adequate value. Is a few months of Pat Gillick back in charge a pipe dream? Maybe. One can only dream, I suppose.

Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate
Trying to switch from hotmail.com to live.com for OneDrive
My problem is probably that I tried to switch from SkyDrive using a hotmail acct to OneDrive using a live acct at the same time. Now I seem to be in the useless between state.
I have windows 7 ultimate that had SkyDrive successfully working on firstname.lastname@example.com. I wanted a new OneDrive at email@example.com to sync with my Windows 8.1 OneDrive pc.
I uninstalled SkyDrive, downloaded from the Onedrive.com the win 7 OneDrive installer. When I run the installer I get to the Get Started dialog box. I click that button then get stuck on a blank white dialog box. I terminate the installer and it shows a OneDrive under Favorites, but it's the xxxx@hotmail SkyDrive area when I upload to it.
From win 7 I can upload to onedrive.com at email@example.com using FireFox and sync with my win 8.1 pc, but that does me no good for my win 8.1 pc or win 7 Explorer.
How do I get to have OneDrive shortcut in my folder connected to my live.com acct?

Original sweater worn by actor Danny Lloyd during production of The Shining.
Although many props and costumes from The Shining ended up as part of the Stanley Kubrick Archive in London, this sweater, as well as many other props, costumes and furniture pieces, were sold to crew members after completion of production.
Danny's iconic "Apollo 11" sweater was originally purchased by Assistant Editor Gill Smith, who bought it for her nephew. After he grew out of it, the sweater was returned to her, and it remained in her possession for the next thirty years.
The sweater is now in the personal collection of The Caretaker.

Even head-to-head with our friends at Hey Queen! we had a good crowd and raised some funds for the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division and the Pop-Up Museum of Queer History, and your support is greatly appreciated.
The Bureau is still seeking a permanent home, and in the meantime you can visit them at their pop-up shop at the Cage to buy some books, and you can still donate online here.

Thanks to Eye Spy Optical, Early to Bed, G Boutique, the Leather Archives & Museum, and the Pleasure Chest for their sexy raffle prize donations! We hope you'll support these local Chicago businesses and organizations.
Thanks to Mars for the great photos, which you can check out on Facebook.
And three cheers for Big Dipper, Tamale, and our DJs and gogos!

There's something strangely fascinating about beauty routines; you never know when you'll find a life-changing tip. Enter Catherine Conelly, beauty, love and health editor at SheKnows, a women's lifestyle site that covers everything from fitness regimens to parenting advice and beyond. As soon as we caught sight of her bright complexion, we knew we had to find out her daily skincare routine. Here's how she treats her skin day and night.
My mom used to have to force me to wear sunscreen, back when I thought being bronze translated to instant beauty. In those days, you knew anyone who came back from spring break with a tan had a first-rate vacation, so the two seemed to go hand-in-hand. If you didn't come back tan, everyone might know you spent vacation inside watching sitcoms and reading books instead of going to pool parties and beach vacations.
As I grew up, I eventually realized that pale skin was considered just as, if not more, beautiful. That, combined with a growing fear of cancer and unnecessary wrinkles by 50, kicked me into proper skin care mode. Here's how I've perfected my morning-to-night routine over the years.
