The damaging myth that mainstream stock photography has been pushing for years, but it's just not true.
Why you should never settle for a bad traditional stock library deal, just to stay in the game.
How 100's of photographers just like you are selling photography for fair and reasonable prices to quality buyers.
How to access 3 practical strategies that you can implement in your own photography business today.
Mainstream stock photography is big business these days. Shareholder profits are the only measure of success and photographers have largely become expendable content providers.
Supply images at this price or we'll find someone else who will…
It's not all doom and gloom though.
There are plenty of photo buyers who don't like this approach any more than we do. Professionals who are sick of the discount-superstore approach and know that if they want continued access to quality images they need to support quality photographers.
So we believe it's vital that photographers know that they do have other options and don't need to join the race-to-the-bottom just to stay in the game.
Whether you plan to get involved with GlobalEye today or not, please help us get the word out that photographers do have options and you don't have to settle for the appalling deals on offer from the mainstream stock libraries.
Thanks for your help!
Watch a short video to see how you can generate leads and sales, grow your Client list and build a more profitable photography business with the GlobalEye photography marketing platform.
If the GlobalEye platform sounds like a good option for you, you can prepare a short Membership Application to get a free portfolio review and our honest assessment on your suitability.
Either way you will discover valuable Photography Marketing Strategies, Tools and Tactics you can put to use in your business immediately… regardless of your experience,field or location.
As a thank you for your interest, we'll even give you our complete Stock Photography Business Kit to download and keep, just for taking the time to prepare your Membership Application.
We do things quite differently to the mainstream stock libraries and while we're happy to share our ideas & strategies, we do need to keep it manageable. The registration step helps us limit access to EXPERIENCED photographers who are SERIOUS about selling their photography with us. There's no cost or obligation, but we do want you to think it through.
Good news… we don't require previous business experience. As long as you shoot strong, interesting images and your attitude is totally professional, we'll work with you and get you up to speed on the business of selling your photography ASAP.
To give you a useful assessment we really need to review your work in the context of a 'stock' submission. Most people will have some great photos on their website, but they won't all be 'stock.
So we'll ask that you read our submission guidelines and submit a small selection of images that match our requirements.
We're looking to establish a long-term business partnership here, so you should be prepared to invest some time and effort to make that happen.
Yes and no. Commission stock libraries do need to make sales, but they don't care who's photos sell. What you'll usually find is 20% of the photographers make 80% of the sales. So a commission system offers no guarantee of sales.
GlobalEye photographers contribute a modest upfront subscription instead… less than a dollar a day… so they keep everything they make and we have a very real incentive to make sure every single photographer makes sales!
That's why we ask for an application… so can both be sure you're ready. And if it turns out you're not quite ready to start selling your photography, the information in our Photographer's Area will help you identify any areas you need to work on… so you can come back later and submit a Membership Application when you are ready.
You should allow about an hour to go through the Business Presentation and the Photographer's Information pages to get a good understanding of how GlobalEye operates (We're not your typical stock library!)
The Photographer Application usually takes about 20-40 minutes to prepare and submit, and we'll get back to you after that… usually within 24-48hrs of submitting.
If everything is satisfactory, we can have you up and running 5-10 minutes after that!
We already have amazing photographers on board who are working in almost any field or location you can imagine, so chances are this is already working for someone very much like you. Your best option though, is simply to submit an application and we'll give you our best assessment of your suitability for our stock library.
It probably takes less time than you'd expect! In fact, our top performing photographers average just 4.5 hours per month on the GlobalEye website.
Once your application is approved, there's a short Set Up Tour to get all the essentials covered and introduce you to the tools and features in your account. After that our Smarter-Not-Harder action plan will show you how you can focus your efforts on a few simple tasks that are proven to get the best possible results in the shortest possible time.
That said, this is a serious business proposition and your results will be a reflection of the effort you put in long term. If you're not prepared to make a real commitment to work the system, it's probably best if you take a pass on this for now.

I ran a card class this month based on the Santa's Sleigh Framelits Dies. I wanted to show that, while the bundles are fabulous, you don't necessarily need both parts to create fabulous cards.
For the first card, I used the tree to cut a window through the Whisper White layer. The tree could be used on another card. If you wanted to make this card a bit more fancy, you could turn it into a shaker card using the Mica Flakes from the Holiday Catalogue.
You can see I used DSP underneath the window. It's from the Moroccan DSP pack, but you could really use any paper that suited your colour scheme. For me, it was the only DSP I had that was Emerald Envy.
My class ladies are big fans of the starry swirl stamp from Star Of Light, so of course I had to include it on the card!
I'll share the two other cards I made for this class in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for them.
Bye for now,

You are not the only one. The process due to which mosquitoes are attracted to their victims is called chemotaxis. It is a biological process of motor reaction of microorganisms on chemical irritants. The biting insects are attracted by people's biochemistry regardless of any physical features.
The two chemicals that are most attractive to mosquitoes is cholesterol and uric acid. If one or both of these chemicals are excreted via your skin, you become much more attractive to mosquitoes than any other person in the neighbourhood. In this aspect Northern Europeans are the most attractive ethnic group for mosquitoes. If you come to an area where mosquitoes are swarming or there are a lot of them, most likely you will be bitten despite the level of your attractiveness, as insect will look for any possible opportunity to get some food.
Fortunately, there are a few ways of how to minimize your attractiveness to mosquitoes and get much fewer bites than you usually get.
The first thing you should do is to assume measures of freeing your home from mosquitoes. Get rid of standing water sources, even if they are small ones. A small puddle of water on your floor can be enough for mosquitoes to ovipost there. If there are some community pools of standing water near your house, talk to officials in order to solve this problem correctly.
The second preventive measure is avoiding walking outside in the periods of a day when mosquitoes are maximally active. These are dawn and evening time. If you go outside, wear clothes that maximally cover your skin.
Third, try to use some repellents. The most of them contain DEET, picaridin or lemon eucalyptus oil. First two are chemicals, the third one is natural repelling matter. Repellents are available in the form of sprays or lotions. The repellent for non-skin use (applying on tent surfaces, hats, etc.) is permethrin.
There are a few rules of using repellents that you should follow:
- Always read all the details of instructions before using the repellent, never overdose it.
- Use repellents only on open skin areas.
- Do not imply repellents on inflamed or impaired skin.
- Don't apply repellents directly on your face: at first put it on your hand and then rub on your face skin.
- After returning indoors clean off the rests of repellent from your skin using soap and water. If repellent was applied on your clothes, wash it before wearing again.
- If you are using repellent for your child, make sure it is labelled as a safe product for children. Minimize using repellents on children by encouraging them to wear long-sleeve clothes, socks and shoes. Remember that repellents based on lemon eucalyptus oil are allowed to be used on children over three years old. Repellents are not recommended to be used on children under one year old.
- In case of reaction to a repellent, whether it is itching or rash, you should immediately clean it off your skin with the help of soap and water, and contact your poison control center.

Women's rugby in Kenya boasts a rich history rising from a handful of ladies who would split their time between learning rugby and playing more familiar sports like football and basketball, to one of the top women's rugby teams in Africa second only to South Africa in both the sevens and fifteens version of the game.
Some of my proudest moments have been when I served the game of rugby as Team Director for the women's national teams, Kenya Lionesses, at sevens and fifteens, when as Tournament Director I organised for the women's team to play on the main pitch during the annual Rugby Super Series and when as Tournament Logistics Manager I helped grow the women's Safari7s tournament.
Women's rugby in Kenya began in 2006 and since then the national teams have received several accolades, amongst them:
2009 -Women's Elgon Cup winner
2010 – Women's Elgon Cup winner
2011- Women's Elgon Cup winner
2012 – Women's Elgon Cup winner
2014- Women's Elgon Cup winner
2012 – Silver Medalist – Dubai Sevens Women's International Invitational Category
2013 – Bronze Medalist, CAR Women's Sevens
2013- Semi Finalist, Dubai Sevens Women's International Invitational Category
2014 – Silver Medalist, CAR Women's Sevens
2014- Plate Finalist, Dubai Sevens women's International Invitational Category
This is a great feat by any standards. But what makes their story that much more special, is that the major if not the only driving force that has propelled the team to where they are today, is the sheer determination of the players, fighting against all odds. There was no major corporate backing, no major campaign from the Kenya Rugby Union, just women with a desire to play rugby and to play it well.
Mwamba RFC forms the bulk of the women's national team. Other women teams have come and gone, but the resilience of Mwamba management has ensured that their women's side has beaten the odds.
Over the past few years, there have been efforts to increase the number of women's rugby teams at club level and at secondary level. Rugby clubs have been encouraged to go the way of Mwamba RFC and build women's teams. But here's why these efforts will not bare fruit soon.
Increasing the number of women's teams playing at club level is currently hinged on men's clubs starting sister teams. Quite frankly, if some club sides playing at the the highest level, the Kenya Cup, are dealing with issues like no playing boots, inability to raise teams or funds to honour fixtures, then I doubt that creating a women's side would be top of their priority list. Having a women's team comes with a similar set of demands – kit, technical bench, travel expenses etc.
Several secondary schools are teaching girls to play rugby and this is commendable. To keep morale going and to hone skills, the next logical step is to enable these girls to participate in competitions. A lot of schools, particularly western Kenya based ones, have expressed a frustration in not having opportunities for the girls to compete. Knowing the game and not being able to compete is like a baby learning to walk and not being allowed to explore its surroundings. It's frustrating. Without any competitions these girls will soon lose interest in the game.
With these challenges the women's game should expect nothing but the highest level of support from their rugby union. It was, therefore, a great shock to read late last year that the Kenya Rugby Union Director for women's rugby had decided to take the unprecedented step of disbandment of the national women's team explaining that the union wanted to start from scratch and have Kenya Cup teams form women's sides and therefore grow the player base. This decision seemed to have more to do with political upheaval within the board than the performance of the women's team. How do you disband the Africa Cup Silver medalists?
The success or failure of women's rugby in Kenya hinges desperately on the Kenya Rugby Union and its ability to think strategically. If recent boardroom shenanigans, culminating in the resignation of the Chairman, are anything to go by rugby in Kenya needs to take a long, hard look at itself. Without vision and strategic leadership women's rugby in Kenya's primary and secondary schools will die. The national women's teams will quickly fall down the ranks, women's rugby in Kenya will continue to be a satellite event and will never get to the main stage. Then when women's rugby is dead, this cancer will continue to eat at men's rugby until finally, rugby in Kenya will face extinction, just like our lions, which our national teams wear proudly on their chests and are named after.
The KRU issues are symptomatic of a wider social problem. Just like the Kenyan electorate, the rugby fraternity will vote in officials on the basis of what perks they offer them leading up to elections and on the basis of promises to return the favour once officials get into office. Some of our players no longer want to listen to manifestos for the advancement of the game. They want to listen to what campaigners have brought them on the day. Kit, boots, beer. Then what? Voting on the basis of club affiliation then ranting and raving when the board members do not perform is really an exercise in futility.
The good news is that there is still time to fix things.
In the next couple of months, we will have a chance to vote in new board members. What if…what if we voted people in with a record of having grown the game? What if we required that anyone standing for office presented us with his or her manifestos for the docket they were vying for, and what if we took time to actually scrutinize these manifestos? What if we voted in people who have shown commitment to sacrifice time for these positions? What if we voted in people who we trust to make decisions on the basis of what works for Kenyan rugby and not just specific clubs?
In rugby, the men's and women's game is exactly the same. They follow the same rules and require the same set up despite the gender differences. It should be no surprise to anyone then that the women want to play at centre stage, they want leagues of their own, and they want to compete locally and internationally. They deserve this.
Kenya Rugby Union's strategy should concentrate on standardizing the support that national teams get. One way to do this is to have blanket sponsorships for the national teams. Sponsors should not have the luxury of cherry picking off the shelf, teams that they would like to sponsor. The amount of money offered up to sponsor the men's national team's shirt for example, should be enough to cover the women's and the under 19 teams.
I hope that KRU will leverage off the excitement to develop the women's game and use it to develop secondary school rugby. KRU sanctioned competitions need not break bank. KRU's primary role will be to ensure maintenance of tournament standards and officiating. The Union should meet the girls where they are, in the schools, as they work on bridging the gap between the schools and the clubs and the national team.
We should look at creating women's rugby at club level independent of the men's clubs. Are there corporates or members clubs out there willing to invest? At this point, the only way for women's rugby is up and the future looks bright. The Union should take lead in sharing this vision with the rugby fraternity and with funders.
Finally, I would like to pay tribute to some of the people who have served the women's game selflessly in Kenya. Coach Sammy Kemmey and Pritt Nyandat who were instrumental in the early days, previous team managers Yvonne Makwali and Doris Mwanzia, the current technical bench Head Coach Kevin Wambua, Strength and Conditioning Coach Michael Shamiah, Team Manager, Angela Olum and Physiotherapist Ben Mahinda, Namulisa Kombo who shows us that women are right at home at top management of their local rugby clubs, the players who sacrifice year in, year out for the love of the game. The fans who would turn up 3 hours early to watch the women's games before the men play. The women referees, coaches at national and school level and Mwangi Muthee who despite his problems as Chair of KRU was instrumental in establishing the Mwamba Women's rugby team.

Fr. Leonard Feeney

( There are actually 4 orders 3 are fully approved of by the Church while holding Fr. Feeney's position: OSB – Order of St. Benedict (Benedictines of Still River); MICM - Sisters of St. Benedict Center Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Saint Anne's House); MICM – Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Immaculate Heart of Mary School)-- Directory of Worceter Diocese MA USA: http://www.worcesterdiocese.org/vicar/ReligiousCommunities/tabid/478/Default.aspx )
This priest was a defender of the unchangeable traditional teaching/doctrine of the Catholic Church. He fought against the false doctrines of Americanism, Liberalism and Modernism, all rampant well before Vatican II Council (1962-1965). Early in his priestly career he was referred to as "the greatest theologian in America" by his Jesuit peers.
Fr. Feeney recognized that the root of the church's inner problems and failure to convert America to the true Faith(and elsewhere throughout the world) was the result of a suppression of the thrice-defined dogma that outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation. Father Feeney and the members of St. Benedict Center began to preach with great effectiveness this salutary dogma. Many conversions to the Church followed, including the sons and daughters of influential Protestants of the Boston-Harvard area. He was soon after persecuted and villified by his own fellow Jesuits, by fellow churchmen, and by his superiors. He was threatened and expelled from the Jesuit order, censored, threatened with excommunication and left out to hang with what is called a "dry martyrdom". Yet, he did not give in to the enormous pressures to "soften up" on what the Church has infallibly defined as necessary for salvation.
Two books giving an account of this priest's treatment are The Loyolas and the Cabots, by Catherine Goddeard Clark, and After the Boston Heresy Case, by Gary Potter. Published and sold by Catholic Treasures. Another such book is Fr. Feeney and the Truth about Salvation. Brother Robert Mary, MICM, Tert., by the same publisher.
The following is a concise and precise record and outline of the facts of the Father Feeney case.
Fr. Feeney: A Fact Sheet
I. Letter of the Holy Office
On August 8, 1949 a Protocol letter came from the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office. It censored Fr. Feeney and the St. Benedict Center for teaching the dogma of no salvation outside the Church in the literal sense (this is, of course, how all defined dogmas must be understood). This letter was signed by Cardinal Marchetti-Selvaggiani and was identified as Protocol No. 122/49. It was formally defective in that it was never published in the Acta Apostolicae Sedis (Acts of the Apostolic See). It is this register alone which confers an official and binding character on a document. And even then, only so long as it meets the proper forms. Consequently, this letter is without any binding effect as an act of the Holy See or any type of official Church document. Its status, then, can only be that of the opinion of one bishop, expressed in a letter to another bishop.
Fr. Feeney was charged with disobedience.
1. On October 25, 1952 Fr. Feeney was summoned to Rome for a hearing by Cardinal Pizzardo of the Holy Office, without being told why.
2. On October 30, 1952 Fr. Feeney responded by requesting a statement of the charges being made against him -- as required by Canon Law 1715. The summons by Card. Pizzardo, in violation of this canon, failed to either state the reason for the summons nor give a formal statement of charges against the defendant.
3. According to Canon 1723, any proceeding based on citations as defective as the Cardinal's letter, are subject to a complaint of nullity; and also renders a non-canonical summons null. The complaint of nullity is allowed under Canon 1680. A compliant of nullity was formally filed by Fr. Feeney. Yet, it was never responded to nor even acknowledged.
4. Instead, on November 22, 1952 Fr. Feeney was threatened by Card. Pizzardo with an imposition of a canonical penalty, without stating the crime for which it is imposed. This is in violation of Canon 2225. Canon 1959 forbids penalties without a trial.
5. On December 2, 1952 Fr. Feeney responded by asking with what he was being charged. Again, according to Canon 1715, this was not only Fr. Feeney's right, but it was required for those who do the summoning. Also, Canons 1842 and 1843 required that the defendant be informed both of the charges against him and the nature of the proceedings to which he had been summoned.
6. On January 9, 1953 Fr. Feeney was then threatened with automatic excommunication, ipso facto, if he failed to report to Rome by a certain date. this letter ignored Fr. Feeney's points concerning Canon Laws requirements, for the offense alleged against Fr. Feeney -- not obeying the summons to Rome -- is a matter for a court or judge to weigh. He could not be excommunicated ipso facto because his action did not fall under the category of crimes meriting such a sentence.
It should be noted that in the demands and threats from this member of the Roman Curia there were six (6) direct violations of Canon Law. Both the appeals and canonical rights of Fr. Feeney were ignored and disregarded. Thus, this whole ordeal is not only suspect, but fallacious and immoral.
II. Decree of Excommunication
On February 13, 1953 a letter of excommunication was released, having no statement at all in it on doctrine, but had as its reason "grave disobedience of Church authority." Though this letter was registered into the Acta, it is formally defective and thus invalid for the following reasons:
1. The letter lacked the seal of the Holy Office and/or of the tribunal and was only signed by a notary. In fact, it bore no seal at all. The purpose of a seal is precisely to show the genuineness of a document and its contents, and is required for validity.
2. The letter lacked the signature of the judge of the tribunal which issued it; where, for validity, the judgment of a court of record must have.
3. The decree was never properly communicated to the accused, which by laws (and fairness) it must. It was first published in America in the newspapers.
4. Fr. Feeney's summons to Rome was uncanonical. Therefore, the summons was null and the penalties resulting from it are void. (1) Canon 1723: "Renders an uncanonical summons null." (2) Canon 1959: "Forbids penalties without a trial."
5. There was never any canonical trial by a court concerning this case as proscribed by the disciplinary canons and decrees of the Council of Trent. Therefore, according to Canon Law, no valid penalties could result.
6. As allowed by Canon Law, Fr. Feeney sent a letter dated July 16, 1953, entering a "Complaint of Nullity" against the decree of excommunication, to the Holy Father. It was never answered. Not only was Fr. Feeney not given a fair hearing, he was given no hearing at all, though required by Canon Law.
III. The Reconciliation
In 1972 Fr. Feeney was supposedly "reconciled" to the Church. If Fr. Feeney truly needed to be reconciled, he would have had to recant his position. Yet, he was never asked to do that. Anyone who is truly excommunicated for heresy must withdraw what they once held and proclaim belief in orthodoxy. But Fr. Feeney was never asked to take back or repent from his teaching on "Outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation." Why not? Because those of the Archdiocesan establishment who arranged for the reconciliation knew the facts of the case and that Fr. Feeney was not excommunicated for heresy, but for disciplinary reasons.
In fact, as part of the reconciliation ceremomony, Fr. Feeney was asked to profess one of the three Creeds of the Church. So, without any objection, he devoutly recited the Athanasian Creed. This ancient and venerable creed begins and ends with these solemn words:
Whoever wishes to be saved needs above all else to hold the Catholic Faith; unless each one preserves this whole and entire, he will without a doubt perish in eternity. … This is the Catholic Faith; unless everyone believes this faithfully and firmly, he cannot be saved.
Therefore, Fr. Leonard Feeney was not excommunicated for teaching that outside the Catholic Church and without submission to the Roman Pontiff no one can be saved. He couldn't be, because the Church herself has dogmatically defined this.
Rather, Fr. Leonard Feeney was unjustly treated and persecuted by fellow churchmen in positions of authority who abused the authority of the offices they held and brought up uncanonical charges of disobedience to this priest of Christ's Church. We conclude, then, with the following summary of those binding and infallible definitions of the Church Magisterium concerning salvation that Father Feeney simply affirmed, taught, and defended as they were solemnly declared:
-Outside the Catholic Church there is positively no salvation (Lateran IV: DNZ.430; [802]; Pope Boniface VIII: Dnz.468-69; [870, 875]; Council of Florence: Dnz.714; [1351]; Pius IX:1716-17; [2916-17])
-The Sacrament of Baptism makes one a member of the Church (Florence: DNZ.696; [1314]; Council of Trent: DNZ.895; [1671]);
-Anyone NOT Baptized (sacramentally) is NOT a member of the Catholic Church (Trent: DNZ. 895; [1671]), that is, he is not "truly incorporated into the Church"(Pope Leo IV- Council of Valence III: DNZ. 324);
-Baptism is in water ONLY, the two (water and Baptism) are inseparable, and neither is separable from its link with the other (Pope St. Leo I: Tome-Council of Chalcedon I), and this truth must be confessed as such (Council of Vienne: DNZ.482; [903]; Trent: DNZ.858; [1615]);
-The Sacrament of Baptism is necessary for salvation (Pope Benedict XIV: DNZ 1470) for adults and for children alike (Vienne:DNZ.482; [903]), and is optional for NO ONE (Trent: DNZ.861; [1618]).
The facts presented in this short article need to be made known so that the good name of Father Leonard Feeney, M.I.C.M., can be restored among Catholics and the immutable dogma of no salvation outside the Catholic Church be once again proclaimed from the housetops.

World Design Capital 2014 Capetown
November 2013 – September 2014
Pidgin Perfect teamed up with arts producer Natalia Palombo, in an exciting collaboration with the British Council's Connect ZA project, and Creative Scotland to deliver the project, 'The Power of Film to Transform Lives and Communities: A Festival of African Storytelling, Film & Design' – part of World Design Capital 2014 in Cape Town.
From Johannesburg to Cape Town the project engaged with some of the most talented Africans in the creative arts and design in South Africa's 20th year of democracy, to explore and document, the power that creative practices across Film; Visual Art; the Performing Arts; and Architecture & City Making have in bridging divides and transforming culture in post apartheid society.
These explorations and discussions facilitated by Pidgin Perfect and Natalia Palombo, were opened up to greater participation through global Twitter conversations run in collaboration with Future Cape Town. The project provided the platform for an intense collective effort that saw the creation of a dynamic creative toolkit and online forum titled The Power of ZA.

Hope you are having a really cool day this early hot summer, hot here anyways! But regardless, a great day never the less:)
I finally finished my two piece canvas mixed media project!! yay! This is another first among many on this creative journey. So many layers and texture, this was really fun to see how the piece changed along the way from how I had it pictured in my brain.
Initially I crafted this for the Compendium of Curiosities Volume 3 Challenge, round 4, hosted at Studio L3 and the talented Linda Ledbetter along with the awesome Curiosity Crew! Thanks so much for all your hard work there:) The challenge this round is sponsored by the Funkie Junkie Boutique with a wonderful $25 gift card to a very lucky random winner! Each challenge follows along with a specific technique covered in the Tim Holtz book, Compendium of Curiosites Vol. 3. I won't go into the specific how-to of the technique, grab a copy and be inspired! It can be found on page 49, Layering Stencil and Texture Paste.
Along the way I stumbled upon two other fun play alongs at:
Mixed Media Monthly Challenge:Spray Inks and Mists MMMC #1
Mixed Media Mojo Challenge #1 Use Stamps and 2 Mediums
Both of these are new, so pop over and check 'em out.
All the challenges have truly inspired works so show your love with some visits and comments:)
Onwards! Here I go.....
This is "Dream Landscape". Each canvas is 5"x 7". Please click each image for a larger view.
The dream sun was inspired by the stunning work by Rachel here and Lynn here. I applied the texture paste onto the canvas after the gesso dried using Tim's Rays stencil, flipped and adjusted a couple of times. I just used my finger to apply the paste, it was gooey fun and left a rougher texture. Once dry, I sprayed the sun with Dylusions spray inks.
The wall was made from texture paste as well, trusty finger applied I like the bumps:) The wall was painted with Distress Paint and a wet brush.
The stamped hot air balloons, clocks, words and more, I stamped onto tissue paper with Archival Ink, Black. I placed more distress paint onto my craft mat and pressed the stamped tissue into it. I sprayed some water to add more soft blending.
The orange chrysanthemum flower is my own photograph applied to the canvas by using the gel medium transfer method.
The background night sky used Distress Paint applied with a dabber and sprayed with water to blend.
I really love how the stamped tissue blends into the image, I used thinned gel medium to layer the pieces onto the canvas.
Lastly, my workspace and colors used.
Thanks so much for all the inspiration and many kind words along the way! Thank you for looking!!
This is entered into:

I'm six, but people say I don't look a day over three. Daily walks with my Mom keep my mood and my metabolism high. I avoid processed treats and indulge in a weekly tin of sardines, which are much more sustainable than tuna. (Yes, we recycle the tin!) I also get into a wee bit of mischief now and then, because bad dogs have more fun!

RCR Partner Chartwell Seeks Equity Sale: Richard Childress Racing Enterprises, a premier sports enterprise focused primarily on NASCAR race teams, has advised its employees, drivers and key sponsors that RCR's minority partner, Chartwell Investments and RCR have hired Houlihan Lokey to assist in exploring strategic alternatives for the sale of its equity position in the company. Houlihan Lokey is serving as financial advisor to RCR. Questions regarding the process should be directed to Lee Ann Gliha (RCR).(2-26-2015)
Baldwin may not run #36 full-time UPDATE: Tommy Baldwin Racing may not field its familiar #36 Sprint Cup Chevrolet on a full-time basis in 2015, focusing instead on the team's #7 Chevy while forging a new partnership with Jay Robinson Racing to keep the #36 entry on track. Multiple sources tell GodfatherMotorsports.com that negotiations are underway to campaign the #36 under the Jay Robinson Racing banner in 2015, with TBR handling fabrication and preparation for the four restrictor plate races at Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. That move, if finalized, will result in the layoff of approximately eight TBR employees, all of whom have been invited to apply for positions at JRR's facility on Rolling Hill Road in Mooresville, NC. Baldwin reportedly informed team personnel of the move Monday, saying the deal will be finalized later this week. Baldwin stressed today that he has no plans to sell TBR, and is speaking with a number of parties in an effort to improve the performance of the #36 team. Baldwin has made a total of 321 career Sprint Cup Series starts since becoming a team owner in 2009, with a best finish of third at Talladega in 2011 with driver Dave Blaney. Michael Annett ran the full, 36-race schedule in Baldwin's #7 Pilot/Flying J Chevy last season, finishing 32nd in championship points. He is expected to return in 2015. Reed Sorenson drove the #36 Chevy to 34th in the final standings.(Godfather Motorsports)(1-6-2015)
UPDATE: Catchfence.com reports that Jay Robinson Racing will have a "partnership" with Tommy Baldwin Racing and is expected to inherit the #36 owner points from 2014 to be transferred to the #62 for the season, including the Daytona 500. A spokesperson for Jay Robinson Racing (Premium Motorsports) would not comment on the situation but said the team would make announcements in the "next couple weeks" (also running the #66 Toyota for Mike Wallace at Daytona). Confirmed Thursday night by a Richard Childress Racing spokesperson, Richard "Slugger" Labbe, who stepped down as crew chief for Paul Menard following the Charlotte race last October, to take a leadership role in research and development, will lead Scott during Speedweeks 2015. Scott finishing 25th in the #33 Whitetail Club Chevy SS for Circle Sport Racing in last years Daytona 500. Circle Sport, which carries an affiliation with RCR will field an entry for Ty Dillon for the February 22 race. Shore Lodge, a longtime backer of Scott's NASCAR career is expected to sponsor him at Daytona. Scott's pole at Talladega in May 2014 earned him an a spot in the Sprint Unlimited, but sources confirmed that Scott is not scheduled to compete in the non-points event.(Catchfence)(2-6-2015)
RCR names Daytona 500 crew chiefs for Ty Dillon and Brian Scott: Richard Childress Racing confirmed that two veteran, Daytona 500-winning crew chiefs will oversee the teams for Ty Dillon's and Brian Scott's runs in the Great American Race on Feb. 22. Todd Parrott, who won the 500 with Dale Jarrett in 1996 and 2000, will serve as crew chief the #33 Chevy with Dillon. Parrott also won the July race at Daytona with Jarrett at Robert Yates Racing in 1999 - the season the #88 team won the Sprint Cup title. In 20 seasons, Parrott led teams to 31 wins, 144 top fives, 230 top 10s and 23 pole positions. Parrott joined RCR at the end of last season to run its Xfinity Series program.
Slugger Labbe will oversee Scott's effort in the #62 Chevy [earlier reports had Scott running the #29]. Labbe led Michael Waltrip to his 2003 Daytona 500 victory - six months after the pair won the July race. It was the first Harley J. Earl trophy for Labbe and the second for Waltrip. Together the pair won three restrictor plate races. Labbe guided Paul Menard to his first career victory three seasons ago at the Brickyard. Labbe stepped down as crew chief for the #27 Menard's team in October to oversee RCR's R&D dept.(Motorsport)(2-6-2015)
RCR Names Ahnna Parkhurst and Kate Dallenbach to Driver Development Program: Richard Childress Racing and Team Dillon Racing have named Kate Dallenbach as one of two female drivers in their development program for the 2015 season. Dallenbach, 17, is the daughter of Wally, Jr., NASCAR driver-turned-broadcaster, and Robin Dallenbach, a former driver herself with two starts in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Her grandfather, Wally Dallenbach, Sr., was a successful Indy car driver and Chief Steward. The student of Davidson Day High School will compete in dirt and asphalt races under the RCR banner driving cars built and maintained by Team Dillon Racing. Richard Childress Racing and Team Dillon Racing have named Ahnna Parkhurst as the other one of two female drivers in their development program for the 2015 season. Parkhurst, 14, is an Augusta, Ga. native and is entering her second season of competitive racing. The student at Riverside Middle School will compete in dirt Crate Late Models under the RCR banner driving cars built and maintained by Team Dillon Racing this year.(RCR)(1-29-2015)
RCR to field #29 for Scott in Daytona 500: Richard Childress Racing (RCR) will field the #29 Chevy in the Daytona 500 for RCR XFNITY Series driver Brian Scott, who will attempt his second Daytona 500. The #29 will return to Sprint Cup Series competition for the first time since 2013 at Homestead, where reigning Cup champion Kevin Harvick wheeled a 10th place finish in final start for RCR. Richard "Slugger" Labbe, who stepped down as crew chief for Paul Menard following the Charlotte race last October to take a leadership role in research and development is the leading candidate to lead Scott during Speedweeks 2015. Scott competed in last season's Daytona 500, qualifying a strong 12th, before finishing 25th in the #33 Whitetail Club Chevy for Circle Sport Racing. Circle Sport, which carries an affiliation with RCR will field an entry for Ty Dillon at Daytona [#33 Cheerios/Kroger Chevy]. Shore Lodge, a longtime backer of Scott's NASCAR career is expected to sponsor him in his eighth Sprint Cup Series race. Scott's pole at Talladega earned him an a spot in next month's Sprint Unlimited, but Scott is not scheduled to compete in the non-points event, which opens the door for RCR teammate #27 Paul Menard to take his place, based on the new Sprint Unlimited guidelines unveiled by NASCAR last month. Scott's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series program has not been outlined, but he is expected to run a limited schedule with hopes of a full-time campaign in 2016.(Catchfence)(1-19-2015)
Brian Scott expects to run some Cup races: Brian Scott hopes to once again compete in several Sprint Cup events in '15 (he made six starts in '14), a bit of extracurricular activity that he said he believes to be very beneficial. "When you get in (an XFINITY Series) car after you've just got out of a Cup car where you've been going 200 (mph) at the end of the straightaways and ... you're going 180, it feels like everything slows down," he said. "It really feels like you're able to utilize your talents ... more effectively.(NASCAR.com), Scott ran 6 races in the #33 last season. He won the pole at Talladega in May.(1-10-2015)
RCR Sues former employee: Richard Childress Racing failed to prove that an engineer who became another team's crew chief stole trade secrets, the North Carolina Business Court ruled. Matthew McCall started working for RCR as a race engineer on the Camping World Truck Series team in 2010. Two years later, RCR promoted him to similar position working on the #31 Chevy in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. McCall's contract included provisions that, if he resigned, he could not work for a competitor in a similar capacity for 12 months. During the 2014 season, McCall said several times that he would like to work as a crew chief for a Sprint Cup team. When RCR offered McCall a crew-chief spot on the Nationwide Series, NASCAR's second-ranked circuit, he resigned at the end of the 2014 Sprint Cup season. Two days later, Chip Ganassi Racing hired McCall as the crew chief for Jamie McMurray's #1 Chevy on the Sprint Cup circuit.
RCR sued McCall in Davidson County, N.C., in November for breach of contract and misappropriation of trade secrets. It moved on Dec. 3 for a temporary restraining order to keep McCall from working for Ganassi or another competitor. As quoted in the Dec. 19 ruling, RCR argued that the positions were similar because McCall "routinely performed the tasks of the crew chief (and complained about doing so)," and filled in for the crew chief when he was unavailable. (Parentheses in original.) The team also noted that McCall officially served as the crew chief during the 2013 Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. McCall responded that he filled in as crew chief during for just one practice session and one testing session. During the Brickyard 400, the regular crew chief was suffering from an eye injury but made the critical decisions from a trailer, where he was watching the race, McCall added. The North Carolina Business Court denied RCR's request for a restraining order. "Plaintiff has not shown, at this time, a likelihood of success on its claim that by accepting a crew chief position with Ganassi, Defendant has become employed in a 'capacity identical or similar to that in which he participated while employed by (plaintiff) and therefore as breached the employment contract," Judge Louis Bledsoe III wrote. RCR also did not prove that McCall had or would disclose its trade secrets, the court found.(Court House News)(1-1-2015)

Their customs are with them as long ago as archaeology and history can
determine. They are just like the rituals of other bear cult peoples. The
bear is the bearer (no pun intended) of their sins and a communicator to God
of how good the people were to the bear. Yes, they do sacrifice the bear to
an unseen deity.
"One is so easily tempted to dismiss any dying race as "primitive." On
the verge of extinction, at the end of a cultural evolution that lasted
thousands of years, little survives of the Ainu's world, yet it once had
great vitality. Their gods were as numerous as the phenomena of nature, for
the Ainu religion was a form of nature worship. Amorphous and invisible
beings dwelt everywhere. Rocks, fish, trees, the sun, and, in particular,
fire were all worshiped as sacred. Witchcraft and magic dominated the Ainu's
life, and the invisible link between man and superhuman powers was
maintained by their witch doctor, or shaman."
"There is something of the Tungus in the Ainu, something of the
Siberian forest peoples, with their unshakable belief in the animation of
inanimate objects, or animism, something of the demonic spirits haunting the
forests, mountains and marshes of the taiga of northeast Asia."
"All the Tungus tribes believed that the bear, the most similar to man
of all the creatures they knew, was the mediator between this world and the
next, and northeast Asia is full of strange fairy tales and legends about
the bear. The bear speaks, acts and intervenes in the destiny of man. He has
compassion with man and suffers like man. He is the "exalted being that
lives in the mountains." And this last is exactly what the Ainu call him:
kim-un-kamui. And the word kamui is probably the original form of the
Japanese word kami, meaning godhead."
"All peoples on earth have pondered on man's communication with the
dead. We are born, we live, we toil, we laugh a little, we cry, we die. Each
generation contributes new experiences and yet would be so much wiser if
only the spirits of the departed could help out. A man's lifetime is so
short that he cannot achieve or learn very much. To the Ainu, if there were
no means of communicating with one's forefathers and the spiritual world of
the departed, life would be unbearable. But how is this liaison with the
spiritual realm, this freedom from all physical and carnal bonds, to be
"That is precisely what the bear is there for, the Ainu tell us. When a
bear is stripped of his hide he looks alarmingly like a man. Thus, to them,
he is a man disguised in fur and they see in the bear a mediator between
their own harsh world and the world of disembodied souls. Exactly when they
came to this conclusion, no amount of research will ever explain, but the
Ainu just know, and that is that. That is why their most important festival
is the iyomande, or home-coming of the soul. A bear is killed, but his still
living soul is sent forth to visit his bear ancestors. Someday the bear will
return, only to be sent forth once more. His flesh is eaten, his blood is
drunk, and his soul performs its mission. To the Ainu, this is the divine
order of things, the eternal cycle, the be-all and end-all, and thousands of
years of evolution have been unable to shake their belief."
"A bear cub is carefully reared, fed and fondled. He has a nurse, an
Ainu woman who even suckles him at her breasts-until the young bear's claws
become too sharp and he is locked up in a cage."
"The villagers regularly visit the bear in his abode, greeting him in
friendly fashion. Master Bruin lives in this fashion for two years, and then
comes the big festival with its preparations and invitations. "I, so-
and-so, living at such-and-such a place, am going to send my dear little
bear cub back to his home in the mountains. Come, masters and friends, to
the feast. We wish to celebrate the joyful departure of the exalted one,
The guests arrive, a few of the women coming earlier to help with the
preparations. The bear is led around the huts for the last time to receive
the friendly salutations of all the villagers; then he is taken to the place
of "transformation," where he is addressed as follows: "We greet you. We
have nourished you with great care because we love you so much. Now that you
are fully grown, we are sending you off to your father and mother. When you
arrive, speak well of us, and tell them how good we have been to you. Come
back to us again, and we will hold a new festival and send you off once
"After that the bear is tied up, tormented by all the guests, shot full
of arrows that are not intended to kill him, and then beaten. As the
animal's frenzy grows, the pleasure of the guests increases. When he is
finally too weak to move, he is "dispatched homeward" by strangulation, or,
less commonly, by being tied to two stakes and killed by an arrow through
the heart. After part of the meat has been eaten raw and the blood drunk,
the remainder of the animal is boiled. The meal is enhanced by the invisible
presence of Fuji, the goddess of fire, and her daughter, "the maiden of the
cooking pot." The men anoint themselves with the bear's blood, an effective
means of insuring success in hunting, and the bear's skull is exhibited
outside the house, facing east, to be worshiped. Then, as the unfortunate
beast's soul leaves its body to rise to heaven, the men shoot off a few more
arrows to the northeast."
"We now come to the most mysterious feature of the bear cult. After
his death, the bear is known as chinukara-gur, which means 'prophet' or
'guardian.' The Ainu use the same word to describe the North Star in the
constellation of the Little Bear. So it seems that from primeval times the
civilizations of both the Mediterranean and the Ainu have associated this
constellation with the bear. And up there the soul of the creature, which
the Ainu believe to be their redeemer and mediator, has its final
destination." ~ Ivar Lissner, The Living Past, translated by J. Maxwell
Brownjohn, (New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1957), p. 205-207

You entirely miss my point. It isn't about Adam's first appearance. It is
that animal sacrifice goes way back before the time you claim Adam appeared.
For once, think about the implications of data to your views, and not to
what I believe. Your theory has a major archaeological problem that you
have to squirm really hard to avoid.

Irrelevant because animal sacrifice to unseen deities took place with
animals most assuredly raised in one's domestic home, long before 4500 BC

Yes, she is much nicer than I and people actually like her. But she was
disappointed to hear that you don't think she had the image of God because
she is in the wrong side of the Semitic family.

Farmers harvest crops and subsidies
Minnesota State Roundup
Published January 1, 2005 | January 2005 issue
In 2003 Minnesota was the nation's sixth largest recipient of farm subsidy payments, dropping from fifth the prior year, according to a report by the Environmental Working Group, a Washington, D.C.-based watchdog agency. Farmers in the Moorhead area received the largest portion of government farm subsidies to Minnesota producers,
Nearly $782 million in payments went to over 80,000 Minnesota recipients, including absentee landowners, according to the group that publishes an annual report on federal farm subsidy payments.
Corn led the list of commodity subsidies, to the tune of more than $260 million in payments to over 51,500 recipients-twice the amount of soybean subsides.
Nationally, 10 percent of the subsidy recipients (about 305,000 farm operations) received 72 percent of the total payments, or about $34,000 annually over the past eight years.

In the article "Not in my name" (October 16, Features, page 11), Anna Tv describes how her recent experience on Birthright led her to "uncover the truth" that Zionism is a white colonial movement.
She attempts to put Zionism in a historical "context of colonialism" by quoting Theodor Herzl's reference to locals as "dirty Arabs and Jews, and beggars." This statement is not only taken out of context, but is also a misquote. In Herzl's novel Altneuland, as two characters enter a Jaffa alleyway, it is remarked, "poor Turks, dirty Arabs, and timid Jews lounged around – indolent, beggarly, and hopeless." "Dirty" (schmutzige) is not used pejoratively. Rather, Herzl is describing the disenfranchisement of the local population at the hands of the Ottoman Empire.
The article goes on to show how "power and privilege" in Israel is reserved for "white Europeans." Yet the current ramatkal (the highest position in the Israeli military), Gadi Eizenkot, is Mizrahi, as is Silvan Shalom, the current vice prime minister.
Using the examples of Rabbis for Human Rights (RHR) and Neturei Karta, the author attempts to show that Judaism calls for "the dismantling" of Israel. RHR, however, though critical of Israeli policy, has never called for the state's dismantlement. On the other hand, Neturei Karta, with its overt misogyny, homophobia, and endorsement of Holocaust denial (famously attending the 2006 International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust in Tehran), is hardly a group to be emulated.
The article is fraught with misquotes and factual errors (listing the building of settlements in Gaza as one of Israel's current "atrocities," when Israel evacuated all Gaza settlements in 2005; blaming "mainstream Jewish education institutions in the U.S. and Canada" for falsely perpetuating "the idea that most Jews in the world are white or European," when 75 per cent of world Jewry is in fact Ashkenazi). One wonders how such an article was published unreviewed in The McGill Daily, let alone as a feature article.
