Ah, I knew this would happen. Sit down to write a song for week 2, get a nice beat going, go to write a melody aaaaaaaaand nothing. How do you combat writers block?
What I usually do, is before I start work on LSDJ, I open up FamiTracker, get a nice lead and decide how and where I want it. Then, I start an intro using only WAV and PU1 (for effects) on LSDJ. When the two meet in conjunction with each other, or when I feed my MIDI through to my laptop, I have a little jam on the guitar to see if I can come up with anything and then when I get some rhythm going, I stop everything I'm doing and just get in the zone and fucking write dude. I usually write about 5 or 6 intros to songs, leave them on the memory bank, create something timeless, delete those intros and just concentrate on writing my new song, using the ideas from those previous deleted files. So, in essay format, give that a go. It might do you good.
No such thing as writer's block in my view. That's partly what this type of challenge is meant to show you.
Write anything, write everything you can, write when you can't.
Just write a song each week. Once you listen back to them I can guarantee that you will not dislike what you have written and instead you will probably find that what you thought was bad is, in hindsight, one of your better works.
Same for me this week lol. Decided to forgo melody and do a super percussive tune.
TBH, I can feel this getting easier as time goes by as I've not really completed many tracks inn the last few years and I had so much going on in my head for week 1 that it came out a bit confused and poopy. But this week I feel a bit more comfortable about and the ideas are flowing. I think the first couple of weeks will be like defragging my brain.
I do have some blocks this week and indeed I think I'll get into something less melodic and more rhytmic. Or at least I'll play with effects to create an ambience.
Today I also visited Wikipedia about chord progressions, I'll try some when back from work and will try to derive some melody out of it.
If you can't find inspiration, stick to rational procedure until it comes to you (I hope it makes sense).
Best way I've found to get past writers block (for lyrics), is to pick a vocalist you like and imagine them singing the song, in their style. Like imagine Simon Le Bon singing it or The Bee Gees or Sister Sledge. The differences in vocal styles will nudge you towards certain notes, phrasing and lyrics.
A way to break out musically is to hunt down a chart listing, it could be from the 70s 80s or any style your into. Find the one or two tracks that you actually dig and look into the group with discogs and wikipedia and find out who produced them, who mixed them, what gear they used, check out any videos on youtube. One group I discovered this way that's been a big influence on me is Lime.

I actually tried to do that for my first track but none of the vocal styles I liked seemed to fit with the backing
when i find i have writers block i usually figure out that i am somehow blocking myself and once i find and deal with whatever i am doing to stop myself, the music will come naturally. sometimes its some weird emotional shit on my mind or something else that happened that day, but sometimes its just as easy as making a sandwich
I usually watch a movie or someone playing a video game and just mess around on a keyboard or whatever until something comes out
i was all blocked up on this weeks track, but the third time i tried something new, i found something that stuck. aw yeahhhhh
I'm sequenced and good to go, trying to live record the damn thing is proving difficult though.
I found this week easier, actually. I'm uploaded and ready to go.
I pretty much hold on to every musical idea I get on to some kind of recording medium, even if it's just a piece of paper, forever, so when I'm stuck I go over old ideas, to see if maybe I can come at an old concept from a new angle. That helps me a lot of the time. Alternately, a nice and quick shoddy cover of something helps, too. Not to publish, but to warm up with.
I imagine I'll be posting in the next 50 of these topics
You can't have a writer's block. There's a deadline to meet!
I've found this week a bit more challenging, especially since I'm trying to keep a sense of continuity going for the first few tracks and build upon last week's track.

THE PRACTICE: Active Teaching Methods - Instruction is designed to promote student engagement by requiring that students play an active role in crafting curriculum and developing learning activities.
Active teaching methods require teachers to shift their practice from the traditional teacher-centered format to one in which students are empowered to direct their own learning.
One example of active pedagogy, the inquiry-based curriculum, encourages students to work together on content which is socially and culturally relevant to them. Questions, activities and actions, which extend to parents and community, are consistent with ways in which students have been socialized to learn outside of school and link directly to real life issues.

The Other Victims of the War in Syria: Christians Tortured, Terrorized, Killed and Driven From Their Ancient Home
Here, in fact, the development of Christianity started
As we evaluate the various conflicts in the Middle East it is vitally important to be informed by news sources which paint the full picture of what is happening. Catholic Online is committed to being one of those sources. We are called to prophetically bear witness to the Truth as fully revealed in Jesus Christ. We are called to "bear one anothers burdens and fulfill the law of Christ." (Gal. 6:2)
Syrian Christian children
TARTUS, Syria (Catholic Online) - The News Service of the Pontifical Mission Society, Agenzia Fides, recently reported that thousands of Christian refugees have fled the City of Homs and other areas in Syria as the conflict between government forces and Syrian rebels intensifies. These fierce, bloody battles have left these Christians extremely vulnerable. They are in need of our prayers and our solidarity. They are our brethren.
The Christian refugees were driven from their homes by the ongoing war and bloodshed in Syria between forces still loyal to the current regime and a combination of rebel forces which is sseeking to overthrow it. These Christians have joined the approximately 150,000 other Christians who are already living under virtual siege in the forty villages referred to as the "Valley of the Christians" in western Syria.
The Valley of Wadi al Nasara has been the site of a ferocious assault being waged by rebel militia against government forces. The rebel militia has settled in a fortress named "Krak des Chevaliers". It was once used by the Crusaders in their battles with militant Muslims in centuries past. This former Crusader castle is now occupied by rebel forces, many of whom share the militant Islamist views of the Muslims whom the Crusaders fought. They are engaged in fierce, bloody battles with troops loyal to Syrian Dictator/President Bashar al-Assad. From there they launch their relentless attacks.
The report insinuated that the Christians are "collateral victims" in the conflict. Fides reported, "The Christian civilians are "collateral victims" that are affected without any care! In recent days, a rain of fire hit the village of Howache, destroying several houses, killing three young Christians. And, in recent weeks, the Christian community in the valley had already counted nine other deaths." A local Orthodox priest told Fides News Agency that, "Christians - - are very fragile and they want to be neutral, but today our valley is beset by violence and instability that confuses and frightens us. Violence covers and nullifies everything: we are not able to be instruments of dialogue and cohesion, as we want to be." The priest asked the warring parties to "not hit civilians gratuitously, to respect the neutrality of the Christians for their faith and identity, they want to be a factor of reconciliation."
The castle which is now occupied by the rebel troops was built in the 11th century by a Muslim emir. It was later rebuilt by the Knights Hospitallers, whom we know as the Knights of Malta. The Fides report is charitable in its assessment that Christians are being killed unintentionally. Many other reports paint a much different picture. It is important to remember that Christians in Syria were there long before the Muslims. We have a two thousand year history in the Middle East. Syria was the home of many monks, mystics and missionaries of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Some of the most beautiful of the Patristic writings were penned by Syrian Saints and the Liturgy and hymnody of the early Church was enriched by the worship of those same wonderful saints.
Christians in Syria now only make up approximately 10% of the population. They suffer intense persecution. A recent report in the British newspaper, The Independent entitled The plight of Syria's Christians gives a different assessment. The reporter, Kim Sengupta, interviewed the Haddads, a Christian family fleeing Homs: "We left because they were trying to kill us," said 18-year-old Noura Haddad. She is now staying with relations in the town of Zahle in the Bekaa Valley. "They wanted to kill us because we were Christians. They were calling us Kaffirs, even little children saying these things. Those who were our neighbors turned against us. At the end, when we ran away, we went through balconies. We did not even dare go out on the street in front of our house. I've kept in touch with the few Christian friends left back home, but I cannot speak to my Muslim friends any more. I feel very sorry about that."
Melkite Catholic Archbishop Archbishop Issam John Darwish told the Independent that the increase of violence against Christians is the work of Jihadists who have joined the ranks of the rebel troops. He stated, "I have raised this with officials in the West, they must bring peace. The jihadis will not stop here, the war will spread to Europe. What will England be like in ten or 15 years?" The international Catholic Agency Aid to the Church in Need helps persecuted and oppressed Christians around the world. They interviewed the Archbishop before the Holy Father's visit to Lebanon. Their reporting is always reliable and they ...

This bloodshed happens whenever a middle east dictator is removed from power. We as westeners may hate the idea of an absolute dictator but for minorities in moslem countries, an absolute dictator is often all that stands between them and annilation. Saddam Hussein was a terrible man but Christians and Mandaean were protected from persecution(except from Sadaam of course). The same is happening in Egypt and Lybya to Christians and other minority religions. As soon as their respective dictaors were removed, all non muslims(and muslims of whichever sect was the minority) became fair game.

Christain refugees in the Middle East: a common sight and occurrence for the past 10 or more years.These are Islamic countries and our Christain brothers and sisters will always be among the first victums with no hope of rescue from the locals. And no hope from the internation community, including the United States. Perhaps the best we can do here is to contribute to Worldwide Catholic Charities to provide for some relief from Islamic persecution and hopefully help provide for a new life for our brothers and sisters in a country that will welcome them.

Your tax dollars at work. Again.
This is what happens when the usual suspects want to oust a supposed dictator (usually one quite tolerant of Christians) and install one better suited to their needs. Washington and Tel Aviv have been very good at this sort of thing of late. But of course it is the Christians who do much of the suffering - as is, of course, intended.
Do write your Senators and Congressmen who are arming and paying for the "rebels" and thank them for making life hell for the Christians. -

Tom McGuire,
In 1683, Vienna was near falling when King John II Sobeiski, of Poland and some other leaders rode down and broke the seige of Vienna. He hit the Islamic lines on September 11, 1683 and they broke and ran the next day, only to begin 400 years of Islamic defeats.
There was a point when the islamic armies had invaded Rome and the Pope bought them off with gold. Christians have never invaded Mecca. That explains some of the rationale for the Crusades.
Now to correct some of your mistakes. I seriously doubt that there was on Muslim in the Holy Roman Empire in 1219. There would have been only a few to no Jews there either in 1219.
All of which you wrote about has nothing to do with the topic at hand, which is Christians in Syria in 2012. These are descendants of people who were Christians in Syria 600 years before the Muslims showed up. These Syrian Christians have had nothing to do with anything you wish to blame the US and Christianity for. These Christians are their friends and neighbors.
Anyone who tries to talk to these Muslims are going to get killed. -

Tom McGuire,
Did you even read the above article before posting your comment.
You begin by expressing your hatred and general disdain for the United States. Granted we have made plenty of mistakes, but how would that excuse and apologize anyone else's mistakes.
Most people, you are in this group, do not realize that something had to happen in order for there to a reason for the Crusades. The United States was not involved in the Crusades.
In 632, Mohammad ordered the Islamic Armies to slay the infidel and conquer the world for Allah. My dates may be off by a year or two, but that does not change what I am about to write. In 636, the Islamic armies took Jerusalem. By 732, they were a couple days ride from Paris. At the same time the Islamic armies had taken half of India and part of China.
The Islamic armies had toppled the Ancient Persian Empire on their way to India. In 1071, Constantinople (now Istanbul), capital of the Byzantine Empire was in danger of being toppled by the Islamic hordes and the Byzantine Emperor asked the Pope for military assisstance. In 1096 the First Crusade got on its way to recapture the Holy Land. Is there something wrong with trying to get back what was taken from you?
The Islamic armies finished off the Byzantine Empire in 1453, and by 1529 they had laid seige to Vienna. They were pushed back only to return in 1683. The Catholic King of France was aiding the Muslims and this time the Hapsburg Emperors of the. Holy Roman Empire
were in serious trouble of fallimng

These, our brothers and sisters need our help. I accept that prayer is of utmost necessity : however, something more tangible is called for. While I appreciate being informed of these circumstances, how can we help? One less gift under the tree? Surely COL knows where we can send assistance? Food, shelter, warm clothing? We often do nothing because we think the situation beyond what little we have, thus paralysis sets in? We forget the ocean is made of drops of water. If each person on this site sent the cost of one cup of cafe latte, it would be enormously helpful! Where and to who do we send that "cup of coffee "?

5. | new breed | ||
'my mum wont let me go to a mosh pit... looks like i will have to be a new breed' lol thats not right!
1. | new breed | ||
People who want to be a goth/mosher/emo etc. but try too hard by doing things without knowing what they are. They only do them because other people do. Person: Wow! Nice skateboard! What tricks can you do?
New breed: Erm... I can't skate.. Person: Why have you got it with you then? New breed:Cause it looks cool. |
2. | new breed | ||
Where a person thinks they are something they are not.
They try to hard to be good, but they really can't. Luminous Pink Belts and skinny Fit Jeans with an extremely tight "retro" T-shirt are a few characteristics to look out for. They would normally carry a "SpongeBob Square Pants" rucksack, and have kids toys. "kimble is a new breed."
3. | new breed | ||
a group of people or in many cases a person who tries to gain personal relationships over a social network. boy: what up ,girl: nothing much ,boy:damn you look good in your defalut ,girl:thanks but do i know you? ,boy:no but you can get to know me ....this is an example of new breed tactics watch out for them.
4. | new breed | ||
Somebody who loves retro colours and well literally retro everything.
skinnie jeans are a must have, own hair extenstions, like emo/greb style & music dont really have much of a set style bright tops, dolly shoes and belts. big logos or huge font sentences on tops another word for seen emo love myspace im a new breed, i love myspace, skinnies rock! emo kid!
6. | new breed | ||
proper new breeds are the dick head who bitch and moan about how their parents hate them and cut themselves and write god awful poetry and it turns out all that happened was their mum had a go coz they stole money from her purse, yano the ones
7. | new breed | ||
Sum1 who thinks there a mosher but isnt and usually likes new breed bands such as good charlotte an linkin park.
they go around tellin ppl there moshas but they r as hated by most moshas as scalls r. Most moshas use new breed as an insult not all people who get called new breeds are. btw nice definition puddle :) New breed: Good Charlotte rule!!
Mosha: and thats y ppl call u a new breed |

Let's Have a Picnik GIVEAWAY
February 17, 2010
Several months ago, I was answering a question about what kind of camera and photo editing software I use. In that post, I shared that I use a Nikon D60 and also declared Picasa to be my friend. Several friends then suggested Picnik, another free online photo editing software tool. I was intrigued, and decided to try it.
The next day, one of the head Picnik guys contacted me about my article. Wow, news travels fast in cyberspace. Head Picnik guy offered me a complimentary three month premium membership. "Try it, try it, you will like it", he said. His name might have been Sam I Am, but I'm not sure. So I replied, "Okay, Picnik dude, I accept your three month premium membership." What can I say, when it comes to technology, I'm a fickle gal. So I started cheating on Picasa.
Now I know most of you take pictures, right? Most of you want to edit those pictures, right? Most of us like free stuff, right ? Whew, okay, I think I'm on solid ground.
So I've been playing around with Picnik and I've gotta say, it's got some really amazing tools. You can do all the standard photo editing with ease, whether cropping, or removing red eye, adding contrast or removing saturation. All for free.
For example, I took this shot out in Bodega on Northern California's coast last year.
Using the basic Picnik functions, I can easily crop in on the seagull, sharpen the picture, and play with the contrast to create a more interesting photo.
Then there's the premium membership tools under the 'Create' tab which are really fun. You can see the list of them here. Everything from simple conversions to black and white to more artistic functions like "Orton-ish" or "Duo-tone". I like this simple click of a button which turns a modern photo into a nostalgic photo with the "1960s" effect.
There are tons of premium fonts for you to write on your pictures, and even bubble quotes too. See, now I can get back at my older brother by putting a moustache on him.
There are holiday and seasonal stickers and scrapbook pages, plus advanced functions like "Curves" "Dodging" and "Burning" which allow you to brighten or darken different areas in your photo whether they are highlights, midtones, or shadows, mimicking some of the tools found in Photoshop.
One of my favorite features in Picnik includes the collage tool. In Picasa, I have to format the collages and resize each picture myself. In PIcnik, I just choose from several dozen grids and input my pics. Easy peasy.
With the advanced premium tools, you get dozens of extra special collage grids to create whatever photo grouping you want, whether it's a landscape . . .
. . . or your crazy cute kids or grandkids.
Then there's the really cool Touch up Suite premium Picnik tools, so I decided to try my hand at this. I snagged this photo off the internet, and I must say, I think Demi is gorgeous just as she is. But people, you won't believe how the Touch Up Suite has the power to take a few years off. Tools like "Blemish Fix", "Airbrush", "Wrinkle Remover", and "Sunless Tan" to name a few. It sounds like a late night miracle worker infomercial, until you see what it really does.
Here's a picture of Demi, Before and After:
I covered her grays, whitened her teeth, smoothed her skin, brightened and colored her eyes, then added some blush and lip gloss, like a cyber dermatologist. All with the Touch Up Suite available to premium members, and all in less than ten minutes with just my mouse.
They even have a "Ten Pound" tool that takes ten pounds right off you ! No, I'm kidding. There is no such thing as a "Ten Pound" tool. I wish. They have an "Insta-Thin" tool but it doesn't take any weight off. It just narrows the picture. The "Insta-Thin" tool played me for a fool.
You can connect with and upload photos from Flickr, Facebook, Photobucket, your computer, even your Picasa web albums.
Please note, this is NOT a paid endorsement !!! This evaluation is simply my own personal opinion based on my own personal use. If you like what you see and read, I've got three codes for three lucky winners so they too can enjoy the upgraded premium benefits of Picnik for six months. And don't worry, they won't ask you for your credit card or anything like that – you simply input the code and you're all set for six months.
Bottom line, this is a super cool photo editing program that's a lot of fun to use. If you have any questions, their user friendly FAQ page has the answers. Picnik has received a ton of accolades which you can read right here.
Are you already a Picnik user ? Then you already know how many tools Picnik offers its users. If you'd like to upgrade your membership to premium to take advantage of these photo editing tools, then you too will appreciate this giveaway.
Three Winners will receive a Six Month Premium Membership to Picnik.
Eligibility for Six Month Premium Membership to Picnik
1) Simply tell us in a comment the tool you're most interested in for editing your photos. Is it a simple conversion to black and white ? Scrapbooking or collage tools ? Is it good riddance to pesky red eyes, or giving your friends amusing bubble quotes ? Or is it that Touch Up Suite wrinkle removing tool ? Do tell.
2) For a second entry, tweet this giveaway, and add that link to a second comment on this site.
3) For a third entry, tell your pals on Facebook and add that link an additional comment on this site.
Giveaway ends Sunday February 21st at 8 p.m. PST. Winners will be chosen by Random.org.

No crash for me. In fact I've never had a Dolphin crash. Isn't that the oddest thing? I must be a lucky dawg. I have however seen many reports on bugs.kde.org about a crashing Dolphin.
Dolphin crashes on me every time I close it, unless I just open it and then close it without moving or opening a file, or basically doing anything with it.

I dont feel completely sorry for this woman. You should NEVER drive when taking medication. PERIOD! Says so right on the bottle. If she just had oral surgery and just taken the pills how could she know what kind of effect they would have? As for the man who reported her, she did run a stop sign. So good for him.
But I think the DUI charges have gotten way out of hand. This is the best money making scheme the state has ever come up with. They get the support of the community saying "throw those drunks in jail" while taking mass quantities of money away from people who are innocent. I bet that most of those officers have had a beer at dinner and then drove their car home. Under our law that is a big no no. You telling me Napalitano doesnt have the occasional glass of wine with dinner? I better see her taking a cab home. I dont advocate drinking and driving but have you seen those people texting and driving? They are just as inattentive and slow to react.
I am sick of the guilty till proven innocent approach. They immediately take your license away even if you have only been charged with DUI. (not convicted) Why are we punishing people before they are even prosecuted? hmmm

RSC Announces Stratford Summer SeasonDate: 14 January 1999Ten new productions will form the Royal Shakespeare Company's first new-style Summer Festival Season, playing from 17 March to 9 October 1999 in all three of the RSC's theatres in Stratford-upon-Avon. The season will include a broad repertoire of Shakespeare, 17th century drama, a European classic, work by two of the 20th century's most influential poets and three world premieres. The acting company for the summer season will include some of Britain's leading stage and screen actors - including Alan Bates, Frances de la Tour, Malcolm Storry, John Woodvine and Josette Simon - as well as many young, up and coming stars such as Zoe Waites, Ray Fearon and Rupert Penry-Jones. The stage of Royal Shakespeare Theatre will be redesigned for the festival season with an elliptical stage that aims to create a more intimate playing arena within the traditional auditorium. This common stage will be shared by the RSC's associate directors and four different designers for the Shakespeare productions in repertoire. Michael Boyd's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream will open the season, and Michael Attenborough will direct Othello as his first main stage production for the company. Gregory Doran will direct Alan Bates in the title role of Timon of Athens, the first RSC main stage production of the piece since 1965. And Steven Pimlott will direct Bates and Frances de la Tour in, perhaps, one of the most closely watched productions of the season. Pimlott's Antony and Cleopatra will be inevitably matched against this year's equally star-studded but critically flawed Royal National Theatre production of the classic love story, featuring Helen Mirren and Alan Rickman. Comparisons are certain to be drawn further than normal as Bates was originally scheduled to play opposite Mirren at the RNT. The Swan Theatre will see work by three of the greatest English language poets. Lindsay Posner will direct Ben Jonson's Volpone as his first production for the RSC. This is followed by the world premiere of the recently deceased Ted Hughes' Tales from Ovid, adapted for the stage by Tim Supple (who also directs) and Simon Reade. And RSC artistic director Adrian Noble will direct T S Eliot's The Family Reunion. Finally, at The Other Place, Gregory Doran will direct Biyi Bandele's new version of Aphra Behn's Oronooko, the first complete dramatisation of Behn's entire novel. Gale Edwards will direct Friedrich Schiller's classic Don Carlos, and Alison Sutcliffe will direct a new play by April de Angelis, A Warwickshire Testimony, which was specially commissioned by the RSC and involved more than 30 local contributors.

Only one comment on the latest strip.
We've seen these found documents before, of course: Things like individual entries in the Enciclopedia Xenobiologica, or internal corporate memos, or private letters held in La Familia's vaults. And as the story unfolds on, it's undoubtedly something we'll see again.
(Speaking of the full story: We're putting the finishing touches on the new DRIVE site, but in the interim, you can always read the story -- in order -- over at the temporary site.)
Well, I thought it was an excellent method of filling in backstory (although I didn't realise where the idea came from). Admittedly, when the documents comprises the entire strip for that week, it can be disappointing that the plot hasn't moved on, but I certainly think they're an essential part of making this a full story.
Is the podcast still planned, or are a number of documents going to be used to fill in all the gaps?
I would also like to say that I like the found documents as well. For one, this document answers the question, "Were there any black sheep in the Cruz family?"
All the found documents help flesh out the whole backstory to the world you've created and really give it depth. I hope you do a few more throughout.
One question: The Drive book contains a page of transmissions from Orla O'Malley to the Emperor and various other places in the Empire. That doesn't appear on the site at all. Is that a "book exclusive?" Are there going to be more book exclusives, or was the page an oversight that will be posted to the new Drive site once complete?
If that was a book exclusive, will there be more?

So lately I have been a bit of a Pinterest whore... but hey, aren't we all? Pinterest, a place full of idea sharing is just a tip of the domino that knocks down others until there is a plethora of ideas all having a giant orgy together. You naughty naughty Pinterest with all your loose ways...
Anywho! my top search on Pinterest as of late has been garden ideas... whoa, big surprise right!? You totally couldn't have guessed! Be honest, your completely floored! No? fine then... guess I'm just a silly transparent window then! It's ok, no feelings hurt! But seriously, I have found a pretty cool thing I think I'm gonna give a whirl... string gardens. Not really a "garden" per-say as much as a really modern - cool - funky garden add in.
It appears to be simple, and I like simple! Especially when simple looks so damn cool! A string garden is basically taking a plant, wrapping the root ball up in twine, then covering with moss or grass seed - then wrapping again and hanging it up like a Christmas ornament! Now, these contraptions can be hung indoors... but the problem I see with this... is that when you water it, your bound to have puddles on your floor! Funny... none of the tutorials mention the mess. Sooooooo I am going to make mine and hang them outdoors from hooks or trees.
Here is a super cool, nice, and visual tutorial if you would like to join along with me! I take no credit for this idea as my mind just didn't create it and well it's gone to big for me to even try and take the credit! Plus, taking credit for other peoples ideas is just a big NO NO! (I don't partake)... I also take no credit for the images posted here today, each picture is linked to where it came from (see me covering my artsy non photo stealing ass?).
Now, I do promise to show you my hangy thingies once I make them! I really can't wait... I went all ass ho on my gardens over the past month and so they are already done and waiting for mulch... being a creature who desires to get her hands dirty I now must supplement my need to garden with ideas such as this!
Rock on with your gardening self!
I'm an Instagram addict... I have nearly pulled myself from every social network, only visiting my facebook fan page to post my blog posts and that is it. There is no scrolling through peoples business, reading tweets, or whatever time stealing places... except Instagram... because I love the community of artists there and the ability to share my love of photography. '
(Prompt Word - Lunar)
While sliding down the list of images the other day I noticed that an artist I follow was participating in a little Instagram daily doodle prompt where each day of the month has a prompt word to ignite the creative soul. Of course I inquired and was led to the list and am now participating the best I can with a busy artistic and mommy schedule. I may miss a day here and there but I am attempting to participate as much as possible. I like the way it provokes my thought and how I end up with a piece of art I hadn't planned out in the first place. Also a sweet way to stock the ol' Etsy shop!
(Word Prompt - What your Eating)
I have thought about offering you a weekly word prompt for some time now... you can take the word in any way you want and create something... it doesn't even have to be visual! You can write a poem or something! The world is your playground! Before I go ahead and jump on that band wagon, what do you think? I am interested in hearing your opinion!
So hey, if you like either of those pieces and just know you need them in your life... they are right here!
I was designed for green grass
Toes sunken deep into unseens and sunshine.
Under a blue celestial sphere
tan shoulders - brown as my coffee,
turn a richer shade of brown.
I am freckled
Head to toe
connect the dots - game of hide and seek.
This is the season,
my season...
the season of unfurling
and coming into my own.
I sit here typing to you, eating edemame thinking about spring. How can I not with the newly exposed leaves and spring green that emanates from every inch of outside!? Spring to me is about firsts. There are so many firsts... spring is the beginning of it all and that's exactly why I love and revel in spring so deeply. I used to think summer was my favorite, and when the snow falls I say "this is my favorite!", but no it's spring. You wait so long for it... and anything you pine and wait for is worth it. It's the something that makes your heart pitter patter, thud thud, and boom boom until you can barely contain the sound bouncing around your ear drums. Spring is beginnings.
Spring is the beginning of warmth... bright light through the trees!
It's the beginning of color... after a season of blue, grey, and white... it's a feast for the eyes...
Spring is when children grow just a little more and try out challenges they have never attempted before...
Spring is birth...
And spring is the opportunity to be born again... into something better than before.
Being so humble and artistically shy it's not easy for me to share big ta-doo's... but I'm just about jumping out of my skin. I have had some minor publications in Somerset Studio, but I currently have my very first serious spread in the May/June issue of Cloth Paper Scissors!!!
Maybe you remember my sweet mixed media egg owls, maybe you don't... but now you can make one of your very own, for in the current issue I have a how to article complete with step outs and an adjoining article! I am so excited, delighted, and happy to share the news with you!
Opening up the box that I knew contained my complimentary issues was a bit surreal... actually holding, leafing through, and seeing my work on glossy pages next to other talented artists was just mind blowing!! I am so thankful to Cloth Paper Scissors for giving me this opportunity and for being so friendly to work with. The magazine staff was kind and super responsive... they made it so easy! I hope to send them more artwork in the future in hopes of more publications.
Hope you pick up the magazine and have a look see, thank you to you if you do!!
If you love my owls and would like to give one a happy home, you can visit my etsy shop here.
One can not explain the connection to a place they may have. Perhaps it's just a love for what's there or the feeling you get when visiting... but I feel in my heart a place you feel connected to means that somehow over time and space... perhaps a past life, you had a reason to love this spot and once again love the same place but without knowing exactly why or how.
For me... this is and has been the Liberty Loop. It's a 2.5 mile walk around a large marsh area (Audubon Reserve), where a plethora of different bird-life resides and flourishes. Egrets, herons, swans, geese, mallards, bald eagles, hawks... and well my list could go on and on of the feathereds to be seen. Turtles... my favorite small aquatic creature perch on mounds of grasses, logs, and rocks. They mull around in depths of water that are just low enough for them to feed and wander... like a toddler in the shallow end of the pool, perfectly delighted to be doing their turtle thing.
I walk this place regularly and feel at peace. My feet take the pace of the beats thumping throughout my ears from my ipod that plays emits bands such as The Paperkites, Xx, and The Staves. This place isn't meant for anything too loud or demanding... it deserves a background set for heartbeats... not drumbeats.
The Liberty Loop changes by the day and season. Not only by scenery but by wildlife. My place is a place for holding hands, walking silently, and smiling at the giggling children running up on geese.
I can think clearly at the Liberty Loop, feel deeply there, and find a rhythm and space that I need to feel what I need to feel. It's a place I try and not answer texts, return emails, or even touch my phone at all unless it's related to changing a song.
Everyone needs a place to go, to feel in, to breathe in... everyone needs that serene banquet of earth and sky and feathers.
Fingering through the pages of an old book, long forgotten and placed on the used book store shelves, it is my intent to bring home these words and transform them into my own. I sit, I snip, I place and rearrange... until the words flow into reflections of my insides turned out.
Poetry flows through my mind and out through my fingers. When I am satisfied I glue them into their final resting place, a natural toned brown journal.
As I sit with my books, I graze my eyes over the the pages looking for phrases, sentences, and single words that stick out only to me. It is my mind, my soul, and my heart that sees the words that are meant for me. I am fascinated with the thought that given the same pages, and someone else, that a whole 'nother set of words and phrases would evolve.
The words are waiting like seeds in the winter, suddenly given light and warmth... another chance to live.
This personal meditation gives me a sense of ease in a body that breathes anxiety. This time of self expression gives me the opportunity to dilute the rush of beating wings inside my chest.
It is when the bird sleeps...
I am a deep thinker.
I am a deep feeler...
and often times my heart is enlarged.
There's is mental relief to be had in the dirt. The release of bottled up emotions just seem to sink out through your feet and back into the earth. The ground is so receiving, malleable, and reliable. I don't pretend to be a master gardener, know every single plant by name (although I do know a ton), or think I can grow every little seed in the Burpee catalouge. What I do know is I need my garden as much as it needs me. That this winter was so long and so cold that it seemed like forever until I could get dirt under my nails and into each crease of each of my palms.
My garden never stays the same from year to year. I'm never patient to just let things grow and tend to themselves. My ADD tendencies need to move, relocate, and dig up what grew in one spot last year but seems oh so much better over here this year. I split the day lillies into smaller mounds and sink them into places that my eye has decided is just right. As I decorate my patches of dirt like I would a piece of bristol board, smoothing the surface and making things to my liking... I envision the growth to come. In my mind I can already smell the peonies and hear the buzzing of bees.
This year another piece of lawn is gone... less to mow right!? HA! Every pleasant and warm day has been spent building blisters on my hands and collecting mosquito bites like girl scout badges. It's a game of connect the dots from my ankles to my neck.
Tis the life of a gardener!
This year I will be taking a more serious approach to vegetable gardening. My husband is making a beautiful raised bed for me and I have already put up chicken wire fencing complete with burgundy green beans that turn green when cooked planted below. I want to have enough vegetables to not only provide for my own family but to give to neighbors and friends. I know that sounds a bit ambitious, but I'm an ambitious kind of girl!
What about you!? Garden plans?

Cross platform installer software released today by SimpleHelp Ltd aims to help Java developers migrate from Java applets.
(PRWEB) March 04, 2013
Freely available software released today by JWrapper.com will help Java developers overcome their applet security woes.
For some months now Java has received publicity over security vulnerabilities in its applets browser plugin. These flaws allow malicious sites to take control of a users computer often with disastrous consequences.
The flaws have been so widespread that computers at large technology companies like Facebook, Twitter and Apple have been compromised. This has led to widespread calls to disable Java applets and in some cases remove Java altogether in order to keep users safe.
For companies that have built their business on Java this has been a difficult time with users shying away from Java-based software, instead opting to search for alternative solutions. This pressure is unlikely to let up as Oracle, the current owner of Java technology is having a difficult time responding to each new vulnerability discovered. Security researchers have estimated it could take 2 years to effectively lock down the Java applet browser plugin.
Enter JWrapper.com, a recent product from SimpleHelp Ltd, a UK based software company affected by the recent Java applet security flaws. SimpleHelp had been working on a framework to move a number of applications away from applets and a system-wide Java installation since early 2012 and had it near completion late in the year. When the applet security issues arose SimpleHelp decided to package up their cross platform Java to exe builder and make it available without charge for other companies who are suffering the same problems to use.
JWrapper includes unique features to ease the migration from applets such as the ability to deploy easily to the web, HTTP proxy detection and the ability to pick up configuration options from the download server.
JWrapper is freely available but also feature complete. Since the software functions in stringent and arduous installation situations it now has a feature set comparable to that of high end expensive solutions including Install4J, Excelsior JET and JExpress and in many cases includes additional features unique to it.
A spokesperson from JWrapper explained:
"It had to be a product we could rely on and which worked well from day one as we are already shipping a professional product on it. We also wanted to resolve some of the typical issues with cross platform installers like the need for multiple machines to build software on. JWrapper can run on any Java enabled system yet build native executables for all platforms, including signing all code for those platforms which is an industry first".
The software is available for download today at JWrapper.com and developers are being encouraged to try it out and send in their feedback.

The aim of the Department of Fine Arts at Le Moyne College is to contribute to the education of the total person. Art courses have been uniquely designed to explore all aspects of human potential involving the senses. Art history courses explore the work and methods of artists throughout the ages. By studying these artists, students enhance their own ability to perceive the world in which they live. Students learn to broaden and sharpen their skills in problem solving, management, and administration for future career and life situations. Composition... Whether auditing a company's financial statement or planning a sales campaign, a student needs the skills to visualize the "big picture." Discipline and Self Criticism... A student learns perception and control to replace tunnel vision. Active rather than passive participation is encouraged as the passport to personal and professional success. Point of View... Through drawing and painting, a student sharpens arbitration and negotiation skills necessary to cope with the demands of career and personal life experiences. Design and Graphics... A student learns to develop critical judgment to evaluate and analyze life experiences, whether it involves planning an advertising campaign or creating a new product design.

I have been out to a public lake and feed the birds. Me and the family members. We gave food to the birds. I never eat the final pieces of the bread in the freezer. So we gathered all the last small pieces and gave it to the birds.
During the feeding of birds I saw a goose that was injured, but it seem to be able to live fine. It could swim and walk. And people feed the birds, perhaps it gets some food to. However part of its wing was dislocated. I tried to call the city, but no emergency number was available during the holidays, but I found a way to communicate the birds injury, so I did. I hope it gets help. However it was fine in condition, so I have good hopes for the bird.
Most of the birds where goose, ducks and swans.
Well, last time I was out there were a lot of birds that wanted food when we walked pass them. I felt sorry since I didn't have any food with me at that time. Therefore I took the time today to finally do it. Feed the birds. Not that I am not feeding the birds in my garden. I am feeding them sunflower seeds.
The snow outside is melting since it is warmer weather now. So the white snow has started to look like dirt indeed. Not that lovely as white snow can be. Some kids had built the snow bivouac outdoors. Those can be dangerous for kids that do not understand the danger of playing inside them. The snow can fall down and suffocate the kid inside. I am happy it is melting away. It's not easy to tell a smaller kid it is dangerous… they have no understanding of the concept dangerous with cause and effect on this level.
