This yellow's light intensity looks so natural, but there is something different about this that I have never seen before.

I think this is great… trompe l'oeil of flatness turning atmospheric. Detritus and graffiti and the sun taking a piss on the whole thing. It's a "golden shower" for all of us. Mmmmmm.
- so clever and beautiful said...
has anyone seen this work in real life? What is the surface like? are those little animals drawn in on the ground? I cannot understand this painting as a picture on a computer screen.
- no-where-man said...
i have i seem to remember flat with a low gloss, they had all kinds of graffiti and illustration nods but came off more like an old master, but it was a long time ago, on some there are heads of kids on poles. i recall thinking it is what my hood will look like in the aftermath of the apocalypse.

Check out these photos of lightning and a rainbow that appeared today in "The Daily Mail" a Brit newspaper. Maybe Turner was more of a "realist" than we knew. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=395512&in_page_id=1770

i like his paintings, but i've sensed the hates for him by the billyburg hipster crowd. why? i dunno. i thought the show at AR was very excellent. nothing like it anywhere else. kind of anal, but super accomplished and original, at least to me.

Its a MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD
Taking the piss. Yeah, I am. - 13/7/06 12:41 PM

There's a billyburg hipster crowd? Since when? (Seemed to me like everyone was too busy ripping at each others throats or sticking a knife in the backs of who ever looked away to get serious.) If there was one they ain't really into painting.
- zipthwung said...
u no this shit gets the hate cuz of juxtapoze sensibility type stuff regardless of where nigel is actually coming from - hes a young artist with all the influences of the generation - and it shows, which is good.

was this guy featured in juxtapose? I thought I saw him in Parkett or something more legit. this one looks purty solid

*popping my painters cherry*
Golden Showers with Cooke! Perfect timing!
He makes my panties go ping.
I love his piece 'The dead' - 13/7/06 2:39 PM
- zipthwung said...
take away the narrative aspects of the graphic novel, the moovie, play, separate the characters from the backgrounds and you have the "scene" or "landscape".
The landscape is then the "mise en scene", as with the last painting.
I argue that the lack, or marginalization of figure is key to the "sophistication" of this painting.
Another signifier of sophistication is the horizontality of the composition.
what about this sans figure? - 13/7/06 2:44 PM

an interesting painter working in a similar vein, landscape from memory and incorporating alot of debris, graffiti, etc.... Etienne Zack.
- chicomacho said...
sick ability to place the paint on, good show at AR!!! Really haven't seen any contemporary painters paint in this 'old masters' style the way he does. Its like he studied something no one else had access too??? If you look at his early work, its miles from this stuff, so something sparked in his hand! Though when you have a PHd in Art and been in britsh art schools for like 8 years, it probably gives you a lot of time to practice. Only thing i don't really like is the whole nod to art history etc....bullshit, when it comes down to it, badass paintings, but subject matter, no-one could give a fuck all outside the artworld! I'm curious to see where (if) he can take this approach, his new work looks like he is running out of ideas!
- Cooky Blaha said...
ok he started it ^^^ but who the hell is painting for anyone outside the artworld
like, "fuck em!", you know? - 13/7/06 5:25 PM
- chicomacho said...
don't take it so literally, the point is (was), for me personally, no matter how good the painting is, if all its about is artworld rhetoric, history etc..... its old news, been done, boring and really, (maybe more artists should ask themselves this) do you really want to leave this world knowing you made a bunch of things about art and about the art-world (a self-obsessed world of nothing). Yeah, of course, the problem is, once your in this 'world', your objectives gear toward it and its hard to grasp that anyone outside of it will get it or even want too, but at least fucking try! He is way too talented to be making fucking art paintings....but hey, thats just my opinion!
- chicomacho said...
oh, and of course they should deal with the history and the issues of painting, but everyones fucking work should,,,but if thats all you got??? then??????
- zipthwung said...
Get a PHD and a show at the Tate.
- poppy said...
im sure some kids would think this stuff is pretty cool, My mom would like this stuff too.. people that know nothing of the history.... she would say oh my god that is beautiful, look at that light, look at that rainbow... why don't you paint something like that or you should try just one at least.
- so clever and beautiful said...
Could somebody please tell me: what is a PhD in art? Isn't having to go to the fanciest MFA program you can get into bad enough? How much PhD business is out there and what is it composed of? Oh how wretched...I only hope it doesn't come to America if it's not here yet
- no-where-man said...
i don't know this Artist background but education, i know in alot of the Commonweath countries it is possible to get grants to study if your good.
- so clever and beautiful said...
Ok, fine, but it is totally possible to get grants to study here too, if you're good. Usually some kind of grant is even attached to the tuition of an MFA program, so the cost is not too extreme. I was just wondering about the actual phenomenon of the art PhD. Like, what is the point of it and how common is it and what does it entail. Is it being taken seriously, will it be the new terminal degree. Etc!
- no-where-man said...
the cost of MFA programs in the US in a major city is not that extreme for most people? your the first person in my life i have ever heard say that.
PHD = more time to study with out worrying about the "reel world" - 13/7/06 9:15 PM
- so clever and beautiful said...
Ok, dude, obviously you don't know that much about the PhD in art thing. As far as the cost of MFA programs go, sure, they are really really expensive. Especially compared with, say, the price of an expensive piece of furniture or something. But from what I have seen the tuition cost of the MFA is less than the tuition cost of undergraduate college, and they really do give out money. So it winds up like 12 grand a year not counting expenses. So what. Maybe it's worth it in some mysterious way! And not every MFA program is in a "major city". Not even the very best ones! Richmond? Providence? New Haven? Not super major, chou. PhD information, anybody?
- painterdog said...
PHD in art is a complete waste of time.
So is a MFA unless you want to teach.
Save your money and find a good group to have crits with if you need feedback on your work. - 13/7/06 9:46 PM
- poppy said...
people that say mfa is a waste of time probably didn't get an mfa.. was undergrad in art a waste of time too? I've heard that as well.. How about ever picking up a brush in the first place? what a waste of time that was... everything is a waste of time that distracts one from breathing..
the $$ thing... I know someone that is doing their mfa at yale... got a full grant/scholarship for first semestar... they had to pay 2nd year in full and 1 year is something like 30 grand i think - 13/7/06 11:16 PM
- cha said...
How many artists that you like....have the self taught OR qualified... behind them? MFA etc. will give you a way of thinking.... but is that what you want? or will you then have to unlearn all that....
- gazinia said...
An MFA is different for everyone, duh -- even if you don't want to teach, duh. If the program is the right fit for a student, they can advance their art in one semester what it would take in 5 years on their own. You have round the clock feed back and if it's good and from good people you'll always be happy you went through with it. I went to a very inexpensive one and chose not to go to a $30,000 one on advice of a graduate of the program.
Of course there was no such thing at the time I went as getting dealers to come to your studio and giving you a show before graduating.
SCAB, some advice. If you really want to know about the PHD why not look up the school Cooke went to and see what the PHD entails? My guess is it involves more art historical research than MFAs require, but then I didn't use google to find that information because it doesn't interest me. - 14/7/06 8:32 AM
- no-where-man said...
poppy - your in Canada right? - common wealth?
i am the only person on this whole board who thinks "cost" is a factor in education for the girth of the population ? - (if not just the cost of time to invest) or do we operate here like in school where talking about busness is a faux pas? - Artworld is set up for the privy club - which accounts for the high water mark in the gallerys right now? **cough* don't ask don't tell? - 14/7/06 9:36 AM
- painterdog said...
I have an MFA.
What I mean is a lot of people buy into this whole thing. To many people want to be artist. Only 1% to 2% from any given program are doing art 5 years after they graduate. I'm just saying think real hard before you sign up for what is becoming a very expensive education.
The PHD is for teaching, what else would it be for? Why on earth would you do this? Grow up and kick the school habit and join the real world.
In this country we don't have a PHD in fine art, only art history and conservation, art therapy.
If the program is the right fit for a student, they can advance their art in one semester what it would take in 5 years on their own. You have round the clock feed back and if it's good and from good people you'll always be happy you went through with it.
What school did you go to?
I have never heard of this, I went to a very good state school and this never happened. I know people who went to Yale, and BU, this does not happen.
You have crit days and then your supposed to be working. The painters in my program for the most part kept to themselves. Some of us talked about our and most where pretty stand offish.
As for the professors they where only in school 2 or 3 days a week and had other commitments, so this gain 5 years of growth thing, wtf are you talking about. There was no round the clock feedback. If you called up a professor at home it had better been about something urgent, like your studio burnt down and all your work was destroyed.
I wont talk about what kind of crap went on at BU or Yale but if you went to those schools you know.
Spending 120k on an art education is not the wisest thing to do.
I saw a lot of very untalented people(in undergrad) being lead along by the nose by professors who where told to keep these students in for their money. How do I know this, I worked in administration as part of my work study grant and over heard this very conversation.
Poppy you sound like your about 22 or 24 years old.
That's ok but as you move on through and get some distance with your education years you will see that it was very small time and that you learn more from years of doing your work.
Hey what grad school did Basquiat and Keith Haring go to? - 14/7/06 9:46 AM
- no-where-man said...
Basquiat trained as a kid at the Brooklyn Museum but got his real "education" in the factory, Keith Haring dropped out of SVA but you can still see his style in the school and visa. versa, - he got his real education at Studio 64...
much like my undergrad education the school of Disco school of Hard Knocks.
However that is the opposite of nyc now back then you could skip out of your loans and rent was cheap (amid the city was alot "tougher") - 14/7/06 10:17 AM
- gazinia said...
Painter Dog, I went to school in NYC and yes the profs had to go home at night, but the students were there. All but one of the profs were generous with their time and it's not too hard to see through any biases they might have. How many critiques do you have now that you're on your own? I only have a few a year and I like it like that. But paying for school and struggling like I chose to do -- I wanted to advance my art as much as possible in 2 years and taking people's advice knowing that I'd be on my own afterwards doesn't seem like such a bad thing.
Like I said, MFA's are different for everyone. Finding the one that fits you is difficult but not impossible.
Maybe I did it at the right time in my life, Painter Dog, but I would say more than 50% of the students in the program at the time I was in it would agree that progress on your own is much slower than it was when in school. - 14/7/06 10:45 AM
- gazinia said...
BTW, Painter Dog, WTF did you get an MFA -- because you were young and naive?
- so clever and beautiful said...
Dear Gazinia,
thanks for the comments, I thought they were insightful! And I was more interested in the PhD as a freak occurance (since I had never heard of it) than as a real option for artists. I believe MFAs are enough. Did you go to Parsons?

Wow, hate to be the jerky curmudgeon here but, this phenomenon of idealizing the "academy" is something that I find quite shocking, not that it's bad, but it goes against every notion of the avant-garde that's been expressed since the beginnings of "Modernism."
This is interesting because in might be a harbinger of what could be called "the New Academicism," some type of retro educational cult that requires the sublimation of individuality to the "school" with a hoped for elevation of ones artistic values, skills. knowledge, what?
Supposedly the Leipzig Schule has become the first true art movement of the 21st century, but they were isolated by the Iron Curtain for fifty years and avoided the contamination of the contemporary. Is this "Academicism" something more widely spread than this blog, a general attitude shift? Usually the "Academy" was associated with the death of originality and passion, as in "that's academic." Have the freewheeling ideas that represented much modernist thinking striped so much away from what was art that we now need to reestablish some enforced structure? Maybe this is just a skewed view due to the nature of the bloggers here but, for me it's an interesting question. - 14/7/06 11:07 AM

- gazinia said...
SCAB, I went to SUNY Purchase and Irving Sandler was there. And was available a couple days a week and one those generous profs -- Kalm James can appreciate that.
I went through an MFA to improve my skills and did. I'm not being a spokesperson for the Academy. - 14/7/06 11:25 AM
- no-where-man said...
school is nessiary to find peers have time to focus on work, get internships but mostly to figure out what your rebeling against. well for me.
i am sick of the "look of american mfa program mainstream" which comes off as
undisplaced unskilled sholder rubing i have to agree with painterdog most of it is a vanity project. - 14/7/06 11:28 AM
- kalm james said...
We all come from some where, but is this obsession with the BIG three or four "art schools" because you can actually learn something there that you couldn't learn somewhere else, or is it a career move. God knows we've all read a thousand articles about dealers and curators trolling MFA shows etc. There is a cuisine to painting that makes it different from conceptual, performance, new media, et. al. but is all the hubbub making for better painting or just better business and gossip columns?
Should I join a club, get a tattoo that says "I survived 4 years at ……."? - 14/7/06 11:46 AM
- painterdog said...
I was about ten years older than my peers in grad school(30's). I learnt nothing(well I learnt a lot about post-modernism)and how to be political, the professors where there 2 days a week and we had access for one day which you had to sign up for.
We had a group crits once a month with a guest "artist" who was usally a friend of one of the profs, and it was and ego fest for them. After they would all go out and get drunk in the local bar with their favorite students and have a good ol time.
I learnt more about painting and print making at the Art Students League than at any other school, and they do not offer any degrees.
To be honest it seems to me that this a very american thing, thinking that one needs so much hand holding to be creative.( i know I will get a lot of flack for this comment but I think its true)
In Britian your more on your own in Grad school and most don't go, they do their under grad and they make or they don't. - 14/7/06 1:27 PM
- painterdog said...
The trolling thing should be stopped.
Its desructive to the students and the learning process. You watch you will be seeing a host of Dana Schutz clones in the next few years coming out of Yale, Colombia... - 14/7/06 1:30 PM
- no-where-man said...
ah trolling i miss my teachers - like steve buscemi in ghostworld.
- so clever and beautiful said...
Colombia is a South American country bordered by Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru. Columbia is an ivy-league university with a fancy art department. Just letting you know!
- painterdog said...
geez bite me for the typo
- poppy said...
no biting please,,
totally aware of all arguments for and against school etc..... Your earlier comment rubbed me a bit like ... screw the man, man ..education is for wankers dude! when i first enrolled in undergrad I would end up at parties with guys that would say that stuff.. what are you doing in school loser? just make art dude! anyways i plan on continuing doing what i'm doing regardless of continued school or not..as for the vanity fest and shoulder rubbing.. that is pretty hard to do on the east coast of canada.. It is basically just work your ass off minus the shmooze time. teachers never played you for your $$ either.. if you sucked you knew about it pretty quick.
I apologize for sounding so young painter dog - any suggestions? - 14/7/06 4:00 PM
- poppy said...
hearing stuff like, wait till you get out into the real world makes me think im speaking to a dinosaur.
- so clever and beautiful said...
But all the same, wouldn't it be a lovely new trend if the young painters of Colombia became world-famous trendy painting stars! Latin America! Dear Poppy. You don't sound like a whippersnapper to me, just like a very thoughtful person. Probably certain older folks think you are babyish because you are not bitter.
Salut! - 14/7/06 4:16 PM
- zipthwung said...
me 2. I have read several conversations just liek this one, its pretty ubiquitous, people like to discuss it, I guess, I know I do, but where does that get you? Take over the system or don't. If you are, do it and then tell me what you did, and I'll be impressed. Wow, you did it.
Good job soldier! - 14/7/06 4:17 PM
- zipthwung said...
Columbia needs to get beeter talent - my point with RIT vs. MIT or CalTech - if you can go to MIT do you think you would? ANd if Columbia is committed to talent, dont you think they would recruit the best and brightest?
And who are the best and brightest? And where do they go, a long time passing?
Oh, when will they ever learn? - 14/7/06 4:20 PM
- painterdog said...
poppy your not getting any younger.
in a few years, you'll be the dinosaur.
Bitter, me bitter...
No I just hate the BS.
I have nothing against going to art school I just think to many people stsy to long or go on to grad school for the wrong reasons, like they son't know what else to do. - 14/7/06 4:25 PM
- poppy said...
nothing wrong with feeling that way
of course it is life and many people will do things for the wrong reasons.
when i graduated, many many friends and acquaintances were tripping over each others dicks trying to get into the best grad schools... it was a funny race to watch. it was also a secret, no i won't tell you if or where i'm applying.. you might try to go there. alot of insecurities about the whole deal.
and you are absolutely right, very few will be at this mess in a few years.
i am definatley amazed at the so called amount of peeps thinking they will get into a wicked school and become an artstar.. Isn't the lottery more likely? Maybe i am naive - 14/7/06 4:36 PM
- cha said...
Painter , my experience of art education was quite similar..... teachers with very little to say and a huge interest in the pub! Feedback is vital but there are other ways to get it.... friends, exhibiton feedback, short courses with artists you respect! The piece of paper with the qualification is of huge interest to the Galleries....as a marketing tool!!
- no-where-man said...
it's hard but possible, i moved 2 nyc with nothing and maintain a 'studio', supplies, (for me thats electric cable tv internet video projector laptop gas) living space and still make it to almost everything in the city, & work on my Art daily, as well as staying up to date with student, hospital loans you have to be a bit of a hussler & hussy. its been just over 4 years right now and i almost everyone i knew 4 years ago laughed about how i wasn't going to make it a day after school.
poppy, your in a common wealth country there is a huge differance - i know i took some film classes in Tornoto between degrees... that was my original point.
- do you think this Artist being able to spend so much time in school lends to the over all end all effect? has anyone else seen them in person? - 14/7/06 5:21 PM
- kalm james said...
Way back before the Jurassic period (pre-dinosaurs) I spent my most valuable time in the major museums of Europe (on Uncle Sam's dime). When I realized that New York was the vortex of the art world I managed to get here. I did attend the ASL (on scholarship) but probably learned the most about technique while driving delivery truck for one of the city's major art supply stores. Got to visit some super-star's studios and ask stupid questions first hand. Also got to see the business side of things, who was or wasn't a good tipper, bounced checks, treated their help like shit! Fun times.
- cha said...
KJ that sounds perfect to me...visiting super star studios asking stupid questions! What was the best tip you picked up?
- kalm james said...
Stay focused, watch your friends backs, make the dealers crawl (figuratively speaking of course) invest your money wisely, don't take yourself too seriously, and keep working.
- closeuup said...
I wish I could go, but i dont have time...
http://www.independentschoolofart.org/ - 14/7/06 6:22 PM
- cha said...
Keep working would be the main one I think......so easy to slow down!
- poppy said...
I'm not sure what points either of us is trying to make...
the school thing is an individual choice
I'm neither for or against... I might still go.. It was in my plans to apply to places..
I mentioned it was expensive to attend grad school in states - for no real reason except to tell someone it was expensive... If you attend grad school in Canada.. you could near go for free on scholorships.. Is an artist better if they go to school? I would never say or intend such a thing. Personally i would love to see how the ball rolls in NY - 14/7/06 6:57 PM
- kelli said...
Hunter is inexpensive. The kids are really sweet too.
- painterdog said...
Hunter is a state,city school, I would go there as a first choice if I was you poppy. But again you need to find someone you want to study with or at least get along with for a professor.
Why not a school in Montreal, its a nice city.
I would go there and I'm living in the US. - 14/7/06 8:05 PM
- no-where-man said...
If you truely want to be a studio painter Artist i can't offer much advice and don't mean to sound like i am tryin to.
For me went on a school trip to NYC in undergrad and from the minute I got off the bus i knew i would do anything to live here my decisions as an Artist are decisions of survival. visit the city see if you feel it, drop me a line when you do i would be happy to take you around the gallerys - 14/7/06 8:45 PM
- kelli said...
I had $300 left over after I rented my loft. Bullshitted famous slumlord Josh Gutman into renting to me by pretending to be a trustfunder and giving him the # for safe deposit at Shawmut bank knowing nobody would pick up. Those days are over though. New York is expensive. Hunter is like $4000 and the students stretch it out for 4 years for the studio space.
- painterdog said...
You can do that at Hunter?
Stretch out 2 years to 4?
Man that's one loose administration. - 15/7/06 12:46 PM
- kelli said...
Well it's a state school. I think it sort of makes sense. Anyway I'm friends with some of the students. It seems like a friendlier atmosphere than some programs. Some of the faculty are well known artists.
- poppy said...
hunter is in manhattan?
I've heard of it if so - must be well know if i've heard about it.. - 15/7/06 3:14 PM
- painterdog said...
I went to a state school and you were out after 2 years.
Some people asked for leave of absence, that was a discretionary thing and up to the department head. you only got a semester off. After that if you took more time off your out. - 15/7/06 3:41 PM
- rainbowandskull said...
God you people can talk about Grad school at length. I can't think of a more boring or obnoxious topic in relation to painting.
- kelli said...
Poppy, it's in Manhattan and Nari Ward and Lisa Davis both teach there. It's part of the CUNY system and vastly less expensive.
- so clever and beautiful said...
Dear Rainbow and Skull,
Grad school is very interesting for people who want to take part in it, like our Poppy. It in some ways has an iron grip on the collective imagination of artists, since such a lot of power comes out of institutions right now (and traditionally). Donc, not boring. PS your name sounds just like a secret society...are you one?!?!
Dear Poppy,
Are you Poppy the girl like a flower, or Poppy the man like a dad? Doesn't matter I guess. Have you thought about NSCAD? Also be warned Hunter is very hard to get into, it's as hard or harder than Yale. - 15/7/06 11:18 PM
- painterdog said...
Oh so that means they get something in the range of 1200 applications for what 10 spots.
- painterdog said...
you live in Canada, save your money and go to school their, then move to NY and see what happens.
- poppy said...
nscad was undergrad
as for schools, i want to get more work behind me and clarify some of my own issues anyways..
Poppy is like the man as in grandfather.. a tribute to the man - 16/7/06 12:11 PM
- no-where-man said...
go to school where you want to settle down and live so you can meet people, do interships and figure out how to live.
- gazinia said...
Oh yeah Poppy, I second Kalm James's comments about seeing real artists' studios. When I was at school I was able to get a lot of studio assistant jobs through my professors -- 3 of them with famous artists. That was a real learning experience and came with an agreement of silence about all the things I saw and overheard. I guess it's the equivalent of an internship in another field. But I would say NYC is the place for those kind of opportunities.

Back toHow to Solve Any Wedding Day Skincare Dilemma
Before your makeup artist works her magic, cleanse your skin with a mildly exfoliating but gentle cleanser and follow up with a tinted anti-blemish cream, such as Guerlain's Crème Camphréa, suggests Lindsay Neeley, Assistant Director of Spa Operations at Guerlain Spa at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando. Adding, "The salicylic acid in the cream will go to work eliminating your blemish while the mild tint helps conceal and blends smoothly under makeup."
As for makeup, Geller recommends first using a primer to even out your skin's texture as much as possible. Next, apply concealer on and around the blemish, making sure to blend in the concealer and finish by setting with a translucent powder.

Re: Ohai TharHi;
Me too!
I have a poor memory for mathematics too and I must say this is a major stumbling block to improvement. The time it takes to re-solve that which you already knew a week ago will always hold you back. In the real world people will always be beating you to the answer, this is disastrous in industry.
Now you will have the best memory and the great speed that comes with it. In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them. Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means. 90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics. #4 2013-01-21 16:20:11

Not all in? Eagles players blame themselves for Reid's demise
ABOVE PHOTO: After former head coach Andy Reid was let go by the team, Eagles players pointed to their own lack of effort on the field as the reason their old mentor was fired.
(Photo by Webster Riddick)
By Chris Murray
For the Chris Murray Report
On the day that Andy Reid was relieved of his duties as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, it was a time of soul-searching for the players who, while cleaning out their lockers, put the blame on themselves for their 4-12 record in 2012.
"We could never stop the bleeding," said Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin. "If I had to point to one game where everything went downhill, I would say it was that Detroit Lions game. After that, Juan [Castillo] got fired and everything just went downhill from there."
In that game against the Lions, the Eagles had a 23-13 lead with 5:18 left and allowed the Lions to score on their next three possessions including the overtime game-winning field goal. The Eagles season spiraled into a disastrous eight-game losing streak that ultimately destroyed their season.
After what was described as an emotional farewell to their former head coach on Monday, some Eagles players criticized their teammates for not making enough of an effort to win. Running back LeSean McCoy said players didn't lay it on the line as much as they should have this season.
"I think guys mad e a lot of excuses," said McCoy. "Guys weren't playing up to par and wasn't focused enough. There were guys making a certain amount of money and not putting out. I think guys looked for excuses."
Quarterback Michael Vick, who's not expected to return next year, said it ticked him off that players didn't give enough effort throughout the season and didn't buy into Reid's system.
"Until you get guys who are willing to better themselves week in and week out and want to win, you ain't gonna win," Vick said. "It's unfortunate for Coach that things turned out the way they did. It could have been a lot better and this locker room could have dictated that."
Some of the players said there was a lack of leadership from their ranks. Eagles offensive lineman Evan Mathis said its time for the veteran players on the team to take a more active, more vocal role.
"We need a lot more leaders," Mathis said. "Guys like myself and other guys that have been around for awhile need to step up and take the reins and lead."
Vick said he regrets not being more of a vocal leader. He said that his style of leadership was more about leading by example and that he did what he could to hold his teammates accountable.
"I should have done it [been more vocal]. I tried to take a modest approach and try to lead by example," Vick said. "We had a time meeting to try to help guys to recommit. It was still the same thing over and over again. I'm not going to tell a grown man anything twice.
"The reason I ended up incarcerated was because people told me things over and over again and I didn't listen," Vick continued. "I feel like if you don't learn on the first go-around, then you're just disregarding it, so you have to deal with the consequences."
On the field, players like Vick, McCoy or Maclin certainly made their share of mistakes this season. Vick threw 12 touchdown passes, but also threw 10 interceptions and had five fumbles. McCoy had three fumbles.
The Eagles defense, especially after former defensive coordinator Juan Castillo was fired, couldn't stop anybody. Free agents like cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha were major disappointments over the last two years.
In the aftermath of Reid's firing, general manager Howie Roseman said the Eagles from a personnel standpoint have to get back to having a core group of players that they draft that believe in the system established by the new coaching staff and rely less on signing free agents.
"We have to get back to having a core group of guys that are Eagles, that bleed green, that are passionate about the city, that are passionate about playing here and really genuinely care," Roseman said. "When you bring in players from other places, you think they're good fits, but you don't really know that until they're here.
"It affects the chemistry and part of that is that we've been close for so long we were desperately trying to win a championship. You got to do it the right way, there's no sacrifice for doing it right," Roseman said.

If you drive by the Eagles NovaCare practice facility in South Philly and you're hearing Nicki Manaj or "What is Love," a song made popular by a Saturday Night Live skit, you're not driving by a nightclub, nor is there a special on Margaritas.
Despite being the best prospect in the Phillies organization and lacking in significant league experience, more than a few people called for the team to cut ties with Brown. But so far this season, Brown is making the most of his chance to play on a regular basis.
"My shoulder was bothering me," Halladay said. "I woke up and I really didn't think anything of it. I thought it was regular soreness. It kind progressed over the last two weeks or so. ..I felt good all spring, I felt good all year. It was after that start against Pittsburgh, I had soreness in there and I wasn't able to get rid of it."

Is it possible to let the application decide with what all parameters call spring security. For ex, the controller decides what all actions are associated with the URL and calls security layer to authenticate/authorize and then passes them to business layer.

Just signed up today, I have been a Dizzy fan since 1986. Every week or so my mum use to treat me to buying a game for my C64. I use to base games on their covers back then and not so much of the reviews. I picked "Dizzy" as it just looked fun! After that I continued buying them up until Magicland Dizzy.
It was a brilliant game, hard as ever to play! But back then games were.
I have art as a hobby and glad to give a hand to anyone in need with the fan games.
Speak to you all soon, excellent forum too.

That's because their redistricting plans weren't approved by the Department of Justice due to apparent user error in a FAX machine.
The parish needed approval from the Department of Justice before going forward with qualifying for the October elections. Qualifying starts next week.
A spokesman for the Secretary of State's Office said a blank fax was received from the Justice Department in Washington D. C. just before deadline Monday. Someone had sent it upside down, thus sending the blank back side of the paper. It was sent August 29, 2011 at 5:07 p.m. eastern time, which was 4:07 central time, which would have been in time for the 5 p.m. deadline in Louisiana.
Another fax was sent Tuesday morning. It was a letter from the Department of Justice approving Avoyelles redistricting plan.
The late approval means paying for a special election for Avoyelles. The police jury already had an election last year which was ordered for a desegregation suit ordered by the federal government. This fall's election was the regularly scheduled election, which still needed federal approval.
Other elections on the ballot this fall are still on.

The Ocean Springs alderman was in his office at Moss Point, where he worked as a code enforcement officer, when deputies from the Jackson County Sheriff's Office arrived and arrested him on charges of improper touching of a child for lustful purposes - the alleged incident involving one of his teenage stepdaughters.
Other charges would follow - one for embezzlement of a laptop issued to him by the City of Ocean Springs and one for child exploitation over a pornographic video involving a child found on one of his computers.
A Jackson County Grand Jury would ultimately clear Hagan of the improper touching and embezzlement charges, but did indict him on the child pornography charge.
On Nov. 30, 2012 - one year and one day after Hagan's initial arrest - the Jackson County district attorney's office dropped the last charge against him, saying the "evidence in the case does not rise to meet the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt."
While the specter of prosecution no longer lingers over Hagan, his ordeal is far from over. He and his family continue to struggle with all that has transpired in the past year.
"It's hard to describe," Hagan said during an interview at Ocean Springs City Hall. "There's no one word to describe it. It's something I've never felt, never had to deal with. Just so many bad things associated with this and involving my family."
He said he is bitter.
"Definitely. Very much so," Hagan said. "There are so many people who did so many wrong things to me, for whatever reason that I can't help but be bitter. But I keep it contained pretty much and don't make decisions based on that."
Hagan and his wife, Kim, are the parents of three children: Katie, 18; Mallory, 17 and Zane, 11. The two girls are Hagan's stepdaughters.
On the night of his initial arrest, the Mississippi Department of Human Services removed all three children from the Hagan's home - at the direction of Sheriff Mike Byrd, according to Hagan.
"That's one of the biggest things that bothered me - and still does - that they took my son away overnight, all on one man's order. My son was nine at the time and had never been without me or his mother. He still has problems and issues because of that. The girls were older and had been away from home.
"I was in jail that night, didn't go back to my house and they still felt they had to take the kids away. That upset everybody. From then on, it never got any easier. It's not even easy today. There's so many things in my personal life that will never be like they were. There's so much I can never get back because of this."
Hagan said the events of the past year have strained his relationship with his children.
"It's still difficult," he said. "It put us in an awkward position, but we all understood there was never anything to it. But I'm scared of everything right now. I worry that if this can happen off of nothing, what can happen next? It still bothers me.
"So I'm probably the one withholding the most emotion right now. I still have to overcome that."
Hagan lost his job with the City of Moss Point during his ordeal and there were calls in the media and from Mayor Connie Moran for him to resign his post as an alderman. He said he briefly considered resigning, but opted to remain. Under Mississippi law, public officials can only be forced from office for a conviction.
"I can't say that I never thought about it, but I didn't give it much thought," Hagan said. "I knew I couldn't be forced to resign and I knew I hadn't done anything wrong. So I couldn't figure out for the life of me why I should resign, as many people were saying. I knew I hadn't done anything wrong and felt I owed it to everybody to stay here and prove that and continue doing my job."
At the Dec. 4 board of alderman meeting - his first after being cleared of the final charge - Hagan acknowledged he will seek a third term next year. He knows, however, he will have an uphill battle overcoming the stigma which remains attached to him in some people's eyes.
"There's going to be those people for whom it won't matter what you say or do," he said. "It's never going to change. I have to live with that for the rest of my life. My wife and my kids have to live with that for the rest of their lives. It doesn't matter where we go. All you have to do is Google my name and it's all still on the Internet - forever.
"Even when you Google me now, all the bad stuff pops up. You have to scroll down to find anything good. So it's just something I'm going to have live with. I do believe the people in Ward Six are smart enough to understand that, yes, sometimes things like this do happen - especially here in Jackson County. I've been told there are people who are going to run against me, who want me gone, but we'll see. I just know the citizens will do the right thing."
Hagan said the ordeal has strengthened his relationship with his parents and his wife, saying that - along with the support of friends - is perhaps the one positive which has come out of it all.
Other than his position as an alderman, which pays about $1,700 a month, Hagan has not worked since his initial arrest and is not sure what the future holds for him.
"The job I held in Moss Point has been filled and I don't expect them to fire somebody to give me my job back," he said. "I could probably go back to work for Moss Point in some function, but I'm just trying to figure out if maybe there's something more I want to do with my life than what my previous goals have been.
"Right now, I'm just trying to make do as I can and we'll worry about the rest here in the near future."
One aspect of the immediate future for Hagan may involve taking action against those he believes responsible for his ordeal. He and his attorney, Adam Miller, both acknowledge they are considering multiple options.
"We're pursuing every avenue of recourse I may have and trying to decide what's in my best interest at this point," Hagan said.
He was asked if those options included possible legal action against the Jackson County Sheriff's Department.
"That's definitely an option," he said. "It's all being considered."

Pocketful of Posies, a traveling exhibit on the works of nationally known Salley Mavor, arrived at the Foothills Arts Council on Friday.
The exhibit will be held in its gallery from through Feb. 22.
Pocketful of Posies, A Treasury of Nursery Rhymes is a 72-page, full-color, hardcover edition, illustrated in fabric relief by Mavor and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Pocketful of Posies has won the 2011 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Picture Book and the Golden Kite Award for picture book illustration from the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
According to the arts council, Salley Mavor's work is decorative and detailed, full of patterns and creative objects, all sewn together by hand with a needle and thread. The original fabric relief sculptures have been photographed and used to illustrate 10 children's books.
"I think it's cute," said Elkin resident Julie Newmark who was at opening night with her grandmother visiting from Hungary. "I like how she uses an earthy concept."
Paul McCauley, a retired Methodist minister of State Road was a first-time visitor to the Foothills Arts Council. "This is fascinating," he said. "The skills she's been able to take out and incorporate in the background are so amazing."
"I'm interested in what she does with the wool colors and wonder if she dye's them herself," asked Martha Smith, a local art enthusiast.
Others stated that the stitching looked like near perfection, almost what a machine would do.
"I am pleased that it was so well attended, even though I couldn't be there," a jubilee Mavor informed The Tribune. "Yes, everything is stitched by hand," dispelling any doubt.
When asked why she doesn't use a sewing machine, Mavor responded, "Throughout history, up until the sewing machine was introduced, people did the most intricate, beautiful needlework…my devotion to the process and a desire to create and manipulate objects and materials in my hands…I can't achieve the result I want with a machine, which looks automated and flat to me."
The colors for each illustration are made with natural plant dyes on wool felt, according to Mavor.
Ms Mavor spent 3 years hand-stitching the illustrations, combining needlework, wool felt and incorporated objects from nature such as acorn caps, shells and driftwood.
Mavor works in her home studio on Cape Cod, in Falmouth, Massachusetts.
Teachers are encouraged to arrange field trips to visit during school hours, noted the Foothills Art Council. A scavenger hunt will be available for the students to make the exhibit even more interactive. Officials are scheduling classes in one-hour time slots.

Updated: Friday, 13 Apr 2012, 8:58 AM CDT
Published : Friday, 13 Apr 2012, 8:58 AM CDT
The days leading up to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony are filled with drama. But once you get past the naysayers, the haters and the critics, you have a list of artists, musicians and other important folks that are worthy of serious recognition.
This year's list is no exception – a group of inductees who have made a very important and long-lasting impact on how and why we listen to music.
One great example is the 2012 Early Influence inductee: Freddie King.
As one of the biggest influences on rock guitarists through the last 40 years, King deserves a place in the Hall of Fame.
Born in Texas in 1934, King was introduced to guitar as a small child by his uncle at the age of six. It would become his life's work and his longest love affair. At 15, after his father died, the family moved from Dallas to Chicago. There, King worked in a steel mill, but soon discovered the thriving Chicago music scene.
As King grew into an ambitious young guitarist, he began sneaking into South Side blues clubs in Chicago, listening in and taking notes from the some of the greats – Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and Elmore James, to name a few.
King performing his version of the Elmore James song, "Look Over Yonder Wall."
His crash course in Chicago blues would benefit him immensely. Eventually he went on to play with the likes of Willie Dixon, Little Walter and Hound Dog Taylor and many more celebrated blues stalwarts. From there he would come into his own, touring, recording and making well-loved music until his untimely death in 1976.
King is recognized for his particular guitar style, which points to his Texas roots and is blended with Chicago blues. King stands out from a lot of traditionalists because of his more progressive approach to guitar.
He cut his first sides for El-Bee in 1956 but it was in 1960 when he signed with Cincinnati-based King Records that he truly made his mark. At King (and their subsidiary Federal) King recorded his trademark instrumental hits like the often covered "Hide Away" and others like "San-Ho-Zay," "Just Pickin'," and "Remington Ride."
His clean, clear picking patterns had a profound influence on early rockers and his ability to play lead in a lyrical way in which you didn't miss the vocals was almost unparalleled.
Often thought of as aggressive, there can be little doubt why King's style attracted and inspired so many early rock guitarists, including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Mick Taylor and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
As a performer, King's raw, visceral performances showcased his love for playing. That was proven by his tireless touring schedule, which would eventually be a big factor in his premature death. He was well known for spending 300 days out of a year on tour.
So, in all honesty, I'm not worried about the politics, celebrity drama or backstage lobbying that seems to happen around the time the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame prepares to hand out awards. I'm pleased to know that someone who devoted his life to creating amazing music has finally been recognized.

Glow Fest Shines at Disney California Adventure During 'Summer Nightastic!'
ANAHEIM, Calif. As the splash-tacular World of Color adds a dazzling new dimension of water, animation, color, fire and light to Disney California Adventure park, a new party called Glow Fest joins the parks Summer Nightastic! lineup and adds even more illuminated excitement for guests.
Colorful beams of light and energetic performers star in this high-energy, electric festival for the entire family. Featured in the Sunshine Plaza and Hollywood Pictures Backlot areas of the park, each night lights up with dancers, drummers, world music performers, interactive dance and play areas, and gleaming orbs of lights that move in near-perpetual motion throughout the party zones.
Taking a cue from World of Color, festival producers say the theme of Glow Fest is a celebration of color, immersing guests in a sea of brightly colored displays, wildly costumed entertainers and lighting used like never before in Disney California Adventure. Beginning with the distinct sound of drums echoing throughout the entrance area of the theme park, powerful rhythms signal the beginning of the evening fun.
During Summer Nightastic! Glow Fest takes center stage in Sunshine Plaza every evening from roughly 6-8 p.m., and continues in Hollywood Pictures Backlot until park closing.
Glow Fest activities are included in regular admission to Disney California Adventure.
Here are some facts to shed even more light on Glow Fest:
THE LIGHT IS RIGHT: LED lighting, which consumes less power than traditional bulb lighting, is featured throughout Glow Fest. In addition to energy conservation, LED bulbs also supply more robust, saturated colors and greater reliability than traditional lighting techniques allowing Glow Fest to shine even brighter each night.
PAINT THE TOWN: Many of the structures, dance platforms and stages are adorned with paint that reacts to ultraviolet (UV) light, to put even more glow in the fest.
LIVING LARGE: A mammoth 60-foot x 90-foot screen serves as an interactive dance and movement play area. Guests can dance in the area and see their own images projected to approximately 50-feet-high on the screen at the end of Hollywood Boulevard.
COLLABORATIVE COLOR: On another screen, guests can get into the colorful fun by using hand and body movements to create a giant color mural. Each movement, such as a wave or a jump, creates a new blend of colors on the interactive mural screen. As more and more guests get into the action, the image on the mural changes colors and shapes.
PIED PIPER OF COLORFUL FUN: A high-energy emcee for the evening activities travels throughout the festival to lead the fun and games.
HAVING A BALL: Sprite-like performers inside giant, colorful orbs create kinetic balls of color as they roll throughout the festival, supplying plenty of photo moments.
MUSICIANS, DANCERS AND STILTWALKERS, OH MY!: Adding to the fun of Glow Fest is a cast of performers that keeps the party spirit going until the park closes. Two stiltwalking performers called Lantern Sprites carry illuminated globes and can occasionally pose for photos with guests. Dancers clad in eye-popping colors perform atop platforms throughout Sunshine Plaza and Hollywood Pictures Backlot, and dance styles from around the globe are performed on the giant, LED-lit stage in Sunshine Plaza.
DRUMMING UP EXCITEMENT: Five vertical drumming stations, each featuring a professional drummer atop the tower, drum up the excitement throughout the festival. Guests are invited to join in the fun as well by playing one of the 22-inch drums mounted at the base of the brightly hued tower.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

Hello all KDE Fans,
As my project is concentrated on dbus tubes, I had to develop an application which implemented the dbus tubes. KWhiteboard was the perfect application for that. So I removed all the extra features that were not needed and I was left with a simple application for testing purposes.
My next task was to implement the org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer interface. I had to implement the Ping method and the GetMachineId method in it. At first, I took my time understanding the concepts of interfaces and adaptors. At the very first place, it did not take much time to implement the methods using the session bus, as in Ping method I just had to write a kDebug output and in retrieving the machine ID I used the QDBusConnection::localMachineId () method. Initially, it was working at its best. But as soon as I started testing it with the DBus Tubes by connecting it with a telepathy service, it gave me a lot of problems, the most significant one being explained later in the text. Now, Daniele even found out that the Peer interface was already implemented in QT and was not shown in the Introspect because Daniele's patch was yet to be released in another QT 4.8.X may be.
One main problem that I faced was the QDBusInterface using blocking DBus calls in constructor. In this case Daniele suggested me to split my program into two halves where one of them would be registered for handling outgoing dbus tubes and the other for incoming dbus tubes.Machine will know by itself about the tube to be handled by respective half and will pass the channels with the right properties. At first it seems pretty easy when you/to work on the interfaces with the session bus, but it creates a lot of problem when it comes to the peer-to-peer DBus. After both, the applications were working successfully on the same machine,thanks to Daniele, I finally got back implementing the interface and didnt took much time as it was already implemented in the QT.
Then it was time to implement the org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager Interface. First job was to send a signal to the other machine that was connected with the DBus Connection; if a new object was registered, some properties are changed and a new interface is added or removed. To send a signal, I couldn't just write "emit interfaceAdded();". For this I needed an adaptor that implements the interface on the DBus, but you cannot know when an object is registered, unless it is directly implemented in QT. Therefore some methods, that the applications will use when they register one object on DBus, were needed to tell the interface to emit the signals.
On the other side, an interface (QDBusAbstractInterface) was needed to listen to the signals and to call the methods.I will be explaining the whole process in a new post with much better explanation.
Now as I have completed all this, I have the KWhiteboard ready to test it. As Daniele suggested, I will try to make a tabbed KWhiteboard where when one side opens a new tab, a new object will get registered on the dbus.The adaptor will emit the signal, the proxy will receive it and the program that will be listening to that signal, will open a new tab on the otherside as well.
I have just started writing blog. Any type of suggestions or comments are welcome.

Questioning a number of bills submitted to the county treasurer for payment during a meeting of the Harlan County Fiscal Court on Friday, Magistrate David Kennedy requested cuts be made in order to save money.
With money "being tight now," all spending needs to be looked at carefully., said Kennedy.
"This is a way we can save a little bit of money, but a little bit of money makes a whole lot of money if you start pecking away at it," said Kennedy. "I think we need to have all Port 'O Johns picked up on the first day of December and don't put them back out until the first day of April. I think that's a waste of money during the winter. I'm talking countywide — everywhere, have them all picked up. The bill for them is $4,830 this month."
Treasurer Ryan Creech said this bill usually averages around $2,000 per month. The bill for $4,830 was for two months rental.
"At my park in Blair we have two Port 'O Johns there," said Kennedy. "I've been trying to get one of them picked up for the past year and, for some reason or another, it's not getting done. I just don't see a need for two Port 'O Johns in a little bitty park."
Kennedy said he doesn't have a problem using a Port 'O John for a special event, but he is against leaving them on sites throughout the county permanently.
"I don't think all these little parks really need Port 'O Johns," said Kennedy. "I really don't. They turn them over, make a mess. They're nasty and people complain about them all the time."
Harlan County Judge-Executive Joe Grieshop said the county needs to decide where portable toilets are placed, instead of allowing the Port 'O John company to make that decision.
County Road Supervisor Marvin Goins said the county should compare prices on Port 'O John contractors outside the county if they decide to continue using them.
A motion was made to have all Port O' Johns picked up throughout the county until further notice.
All magistrates approved this motion.
"Another thing we need to cut back on is exterminating services," said Kennedy. "I don't see a need for every building owned by the county sprayed every single month. I think county-wide we should cut back on this. This is a small thing, but another small thing that could add up. I would agree that the detention center and recycling center needs to be sprayed once a month, but that's all."
Harlan County Clerk Donna Hoskins said the county has signed a contract and it can't be altered at this time.
"We can look at the contract and see if there are adjustments we can make," said Grieshop.
Magistrate Jim Roddy questioned a bill for $7,200 for "stripping banisters" in the old courthouse building.
"You have to hire someone with experience in doing that," said Grieshop. "It took me six months and I finally found someone who does this and knows how to do it. This has to be done right. It's a meticulous job."
Kennedy then questioned a bill submitted for payment on uniform rental.
"I'm looking at us paying $2,800 just on rugs and uniforms for one month," said Kennedy. "I just think we need to get a complete itemized breakdown and then we need to make a decision at that point in time as to whether we want to continue paying this. I'd like to see just what the uniforms are costing."
County Road Department Supervisor Marvin Goins said this monthly fee is for uniforms, rugs for the courthouse, dust mops, mop heads and other cleaning tools. He said the uniform company cleans all uniforms, rugs, and cleaning tools free of charge.
"I think you'll find most of the cost comes from the cleaning tools and rugs being used," said Goins. "We could go out and buy these rugs and then we own them. Then, who's going to clean them? We could go out and buy disposable mop heads — look at that cost. The dust mops are sent to the uniform company and they clean them. They use a number of those dust mops at the justice center because you have to use them there on those floors. They chemically treat them for picking up dust. All these things I want to talk to them about when we meet with them next week."
Grieshop said he will raise the county's concerns at that time to company officials.
What about a bill from Super Circuits for $700, what's that for," questioned Kennedy.
Creech said it was to move a phone line from the judge's office to Harlan County Emergency Management Director David McGill's office.
"They charged $700 to move a phone line? That's another example of over pricing," said Kennedy. "It's because it's Harlan County. Another one, we paid $900 for five double lamp brackets for flower pots. That seems pretty steep to me. Maybe it's some kind of special bracket."
Grieshop said the county agreed to purchase them to match others purchased through a downtown beautification project.
Magistrate Bill Moore said when contractors and companies see the word "county," the bills go up.
"All of us magistrates are going to have to start looking over every single bill," said Kennedy.

Chris Brown Gets Beaten Up By Drake
Apparently Chris brown and Drake really want to be with Rihanna. Enough so that Chris and Drake came to blow and all of their entourages did so too. Chris Brown says that Drake and his people fought like girls because they threw bottles. Hey, who is the girl here? I bet Chris hid in the corner which is why they had to throw bottles. Chris would never get in a fight with a guy, only women who don't punch back. Anyone who punches back he runs from. See how small that scratch is on Chris' face? Yeah, well he is complaining about that but didn't say anything about the photo of Rihanna's face after he beat it.
