I searched Nun costumes on a whim, when I found this I instantly fell in love. When I bought it I went a size up from what I normally would have gotten, I usually go for small, so I bought this in a medium. I'm so happy I did since this costume is SHORT, like I was blown away at how short it was when I got it. So if that's not your thing then buy a size larger to get extra coverage.
I couldn't use the stockings because they ended up being too long for me, however a good alternative are fishnet stockings, which looked so much better.

I love this costume !!!!

I love this costume. It fits well and is so cute. It is very short though, so wearing it in public would be tricky.

This costume has a lot of pieces and it's made really good. GREAT quality. The only bad thing was the price. Found it on another site cheaper But even then this sold out online FAST!! I bought it for a Costume party that will be held outside. It fits really well. Material is nice. Not too flimsy or cheap looking at all. Looks just like the photo advertised. I'm 5'5 and 140lbs. The Small/Medium fit but was too snug for my comfort so I went with the Medium/Large which was loose enough for me. For those of you around my height n size if you're looking for a tight form fitting size then Small/Medium would definitely be your choice. The sleeves are super snug. I had to stretch em out a lil... well a lot lol so they wouldn't cut off circulation in my arms! But overall great costume. They would've gotten 5 stars from me if the price wasn't so high.

This costume is pretty unique and has a lot of pieces, which makes it nice. The size chart is a little misleading. I am a solid size 8 and I found that the small/med for better than the med/large. No matter what size costume you order, the gloves are the same size and are quite snug and unflattering around the bicep area. The gloves are the only part of the costume I did not like.
Didn't look as flattering on me as it did for the model. First, the dress itself has a weird seam connecting the "skirt" part to the top. It made it look bulky on me. Second, the gloves are not form fitting to your arms but are kind of shapeless and baggy. Finally, I am not sure what bra you are supposed to wear with this. Even my balconette bra showed through the white part. Disappointing.
[3 of 3 customers found this review helpful]
I guess since the leggings didnt show in accessories, I overlooked the fact they aren't included. I like the costume and it fits well, but that one little detail would have been nice to have. Hope the mall has something similar.
[4 of 5 customers found this review helpful]
Arrived promptly and I love the costume. Only downside is that it arrived in the package with a stain on it. I was going to send it back, but thank goodness for Tide pens. The stain came out after a few applications.
Disappointed that it wasn't up to par. With the price it costs, it should actually be clean upon arrival.

What is reality ?
Did you ever think about what it is that makes reality real ?
How is our reality created ? Isn't it the perceptions our brain creates based on our sensory inputs ?
But what if we lack a sense ? How does reality change for somebody who cannot hear or see ?
Or take it even a step further, assume you are deprived of all your senses, What would reality mean in such a case ?
And last but not least, let's assume you are born without any senses. What would that mean to your reality ?
So what is reality and what are we as part of this reality ?
Closing Statement from Harald Jezek
Thanks everybody for participating in this conversation.
After 900+ comments did we solve the question of what reality actually is ? Probably not, however it was a good exercise in contemplating what it actually means when we say this or this is "real".
What most of us agreed upon is that there are different aspects to reality.
One is the reality we deal with on a daily basis and which we share to a large degree. For example we agree upon common things, such as when we see a car we all agree it's a car, a tree is a tree and a house if a house.
Although we know that this reality is created by our mind based on sensory inputs which is not only incomplete but often also faulty, it still is "real" because we share the same benchmarking (same sensory inputs, generally same mechanism how our brain interprets those sensory inputs.
Beside this shared reality we all have our own reality. This can be something simple like the perception of a taste, odor or a color.
Although we might agree that a given color is read or an odor is that of a pine, we never can know how another person actually perceives this sensory input.
Individual reality also becomes visible in our beliefs. For a religious person the existence of a God is a fact and hence part of reality while for an atheist reality is free of such a God.
Differences in this aspect of reality can also be observed in how different people get different perceptions of the same situation.
Last but not least there must be an underlying objective reality which includes the laws of nature (whether those are the ones we believe are valid today or perhaps something even deeper which we don't have discovered yet) and which exists regardless of us being here to contemplate it and regardless of our beliefs.
Next time we insist something is real, let's think whether it's real for me, for all(most) of us or real in an absolute sense.
To finish with Albert Einstein:
""Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."

Nov 4 2013: I give you an example. At some point of time everybody agreed that the earth was flat. There was no disagreement until, starting with Pythagoras dome 600 years BC, this view started slowly to change, but the proof of a round earth came only through Columbus when he circumnavigated the earth.
As you see. agreements not only can be wrong but also extremely persistent.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) A Catholic religious order says at least 23 of its past-and-present friars sexually abused minors over the past 80 years – and many of those incidents were in Wisconsin.
The Capuchin Franciscans released the results yesterday of a year-long audit of abuse by its friars. The report said the actual numbers of cases could be higher, but there was not enough documentation to confirm all the incidents. The report said the Capuchins moved offending friars from one position to another, without disclosing the past abuse. They rarely reported cases to law enforcement – and they spent more on lawyers than on caring for victims.
Provincial Minister John Celichowski said the order failed abuse victims, their families, and the religious order throughout the decades. He said improvements have been made in recent years – and he admitted it could take many more years for the Capuchins to regain the trust it lost. The order is based in Detroit, with a number of local parishes in Wisconsin.

- Consistently outstanding!ChableyVIPDined on 9/29/2014Our dining experience at Milton's is always excellent. The crab soup and carrot cake are my favorties and I order them every time. Thanks for a great restaurant!Special Features:
- GreatbigetrDined on 9/27/2014Great dining experience. Specialty grits were exceptional. Restaurant was crowded, yet our table was not, and service was spot on.Special Features:
- Great Food in a Friendly SettingBuckeyKarmaVIPDined on 9/26/2014Our party of 8 included people who had traveled in from around the country for a weekend gathering. Milton's surpassed expectations for every palate in the group as you can't go wrong with meat, fish or whatever special is on the menu that day! Food was well prepared, nicely presented and delicious. Service was good for a large group. The staff was friendly and flexible with some of our unique demands.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/26/2014The outdoor dining area is very nice and the musical entertainment very good. The food is always outstanding and service is very good.Special Features:
- Great food but . . .OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/18/20148 of us recently celebrated a friend's birthday at Milton's Cuisine and Cocktails. The food, atmosphere, and service were outstanding. The cocktails, however, were dreadful. At our prompting, our server took a sip of each drink and he was embarrassed about how awful they were. We were not charged for the drinks which was lovely. I recommend that if you want to be known for cocktails, and I'm assuming you do since it's in the name of your establishment, you hire experienced mixologists. The drinks we had that night were reminiscent of my hunch punch days in college.Special Features:
- DisappointingABCDDined on 9/18/2014Lovely venue, our server (Drew) was outstanding. Sadly, the shrimp and grits was so overwhelmed by garlic that it was barely edible. Makes me wonder if the chef tastes the food he sends out. This is my second - and last - visit to Milton's. On both, the food just wasn't anything special. Too bad - it has everything else going for it.
- Birthday BrunchChuckDined on 9/14/2014Great food and service for this special event. We have dine here several times and each time it has always been outstanding.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/14/2014We were celebrating two birthdays and everything was wonderful and our waiter was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful nightOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/13/2014This is our first time at Milton. My wife had heard of this place from her sister. This is our new favorite restaurant!!! The food and people were wonderful. My wife loved the salmon and I had the new york steak. Both were the best we ever had! We had a little slip in the service and they bend over backward to make it right. More than I would have expected and that is why i gave them an outstanding service rating. When we arrived they even gave us a tour of the gardens in the back where they grow their own food. Great place. We will be back with friends.Special Features:
- Best shrimp and grits ever!!ShrimpluverDined on 9/12/2014First time at Milton's and it did not disappoint. Very good ambiance, nice music. We had the fried okra appetizer, delicious! For the main entree I chose the shrimp and grits and my husband chose the scallop special. Once out good came I don't think we said another word, it was so good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I forgot great creative dessertsWouldBGourmetVIPDined on 9/10/2014There are not enough adjectives to describe the incredible food at Milton's....very flavorful yet familiar. Ambiance was very important in selecting the right restaurant for my brother and his wife who were both celebrating birthdays. They came from South GA and I came in from Texas to meet We were not disappointed. He was intrigued by the 150+ yr. old building with the original wood floor and walls. the wonderful veggies grown in the backyard garden are incorporated into their menu..Yum. Great food,ambiance, great service all wrapped up in a very relaxed atmosphere. We all had a great time and left wanting nothing. Milton's is truly "cuisine" at its best and sets the bar for which other restaurants can only strive to reach.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sadly disappointingABCDDined on 9/10/2014A lovely place. Our server, Steven, was terrific. My companions fish looked and apparently was good. But -- and this is a big but -- my vegetable plate was pretty awful. Although the description on the menu sounded wonderful, nothing but the beets had any flavor. The spoon bread was burned and obviously scraped from the last remains of the pan. I expected vibrant, flavorful vegetables and was really disappointed. The food was piled on the plate as if it had been served up in a school cafeteria. I sure hope they will rethink their vegetable plate -- this place could be my favorite in Atlanta if their vegetable plate lived up to its description.
- Milton's Luvs CustomersLuvFoodnDrinkDined on 9/7/2014Great Service, Food & Drink! My kids and I went out for my birthday. After waiting over five minutes at the table, I asked a passing server if he knew who was supposed to take care of us, he said he'd check and get back to me. 30 seconds later he was back saying he's not sure what happened, but that he'd take care of us to prevent us from waiting any longer. This guy rocked!, I wish I remembered his name. He guided us through the specials like a pro, later he explained the reason for our wait- our server had got hung up at a large table- it happens, I understand, but I hate when you're just sitting there waiting for someone to acknowledge you and employees just keep passing you by. Milton's MORE than made it up!!! We'll be back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a great place!NerdolocoDined on 9/7/2014I can't say enough about my meal. Had brunch and the service was very good. The food was incredibly fresh and perfectly prepared. The old farm is beautiful as is the garden in the back where they get most of their veg and herb. Do absolutely go for brunch and order the spicy bloody Mary. The beat I ever had by far. Eggs were incredible, creme brûlée was evil, even the muffins were super tasty and fresh. Love this place!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Something differentOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/6/2014It's a great meal with a different type of ambience. The vibe is energetic and the environment is country and a bit quaint. The food is terrific, great service- worth the drive to Alpharetta!Special Features:
- Need to try againmeg2Dined on 9/3/2014We had reservations and still had to wait 30 min to be seated. We enjoyed the wine. the sweet potato soup was excellent. The main courses that were 3 different fish were over cooked. I was surprised at the lack of quality in the entrees. This was our first visit to Milton's and we were all disappointed, especially since we had been told it was quite good. We will try it again. With the feedback that we had beforehand, it must have been an off night.
- YummmmmmJTownDined on 8/31/2014One of our very favorites in all of Metro Atlanta. Charming atmosphere and decadent foods.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beyond amazingKdv462Dined on 8/30/2014Went here to celebrate family birthdays and anniversaries and the night was perfect thanks to the amazing staff! Will be back many many times!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- AmazingHarvgj19Dined on 8/24/2014We went to Milton's for our anniversary Brunch. The staff were so friendly, the restaurant has different rooms so it was quiet but still had atmosphere. The food was AMAZING! We will definately be going back to try the dinner menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best in AtlantaChrisDined on 8/20/2014This was our first visit and the best we have experienced this yearSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our Favorite Restaurant (Again)TroubleDined on 8/16/2014Milton's Cuisine and Cocktails remains our favorite restaurant because the food is remarkably delicious, the wait staff is perfect and the environment is warm and hospitable. As has been our habit in recent years, my wife and I introduced two close friends to the restaurant this past weekend, and they loved it and concluded the evening by saying they want to go back. These are individuals who have dined in every fine restaurant in Atlanta and are well traveled internationally. We've had the same reaction from every person we have introduced to Milton's. There's a great selection of entrees and appetizers and cocktails, and the restaurant adds new and interesting items regularly.Special Features:
- Amazing experienceBBrowneDined on 8/16/2014Food was fresh and wonderful. Menu offered so many great options it was tough to choose. I had the Halibut special and it was probably the best fish I've ever eaten. Service was outstanding. We went for our anniversary and it was everything we wanted ad more, just a fantastic night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good and what to avoid.OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/16/2014Our table of four had the fried green tomato appetizer which had too much breading and not enough tomato. Three different entries; halibut was tremendous, pork loin was excellent. However the special, delmonico/rib-eye, which was recomended by the waiter was extremely disappointing. Presenting it covered in sauce, though good looking, made it impossible to see where and how to cut it to avoid the excessive unrendered (even for a rib eye) fat that this particular offering had. I am very very familiar with beef anatomy and what to expect from the different cuts. This rib-eye should not have been on the menu and i should be smarter than to order steak from a "contemporary new southern cuisine" restaurant. Pecan pie ice cream is tremendous.Special Features:
- Consistently wonderfulguinevere1VIPDined on 8/16/2014One of our favorites spots for great night out. Service and good spot on. Love the garden and ambiance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place to drink and dine.BuzzdogDined on 8/14/2014Went out after work with friends and sat on the deck. Great place for friends to catch up....have drinks......dine and enjoy Milton!!!!Special Features:
- A Very Pleasant EveningOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/13/2014Our first visit to Milton's Cuisine was a very pleasant evening. The atmosphere is casual and relaxing. Our server, Jay, was a pro. The food was very good. We tried the braised pork belly. It is not the slow cooked melt-in-your mouth style – more like a baked thick bacon and very flavorful. The sesame Trout and blackened Salmon were both high quality dishes with excellent sauces. The sweet potato shrimp fritters were the most notable item of the evening. We enjoyed our experience and would recommend this restaurant.Special Features:
- A perfect meal.WindermereDined on 8/13/2014Miltons is the perfect spot to dine and relax in the countryside. The food is carefully prepared and the atmosphere is wonderful for quiet conversations. Our party of four were celebrating a special occasion and Miltons was the place to be. From the attentive valet to the cordial waiter to the delicious meal, it was perfect. Well worth the short drive from Alpharetta.Special Features:
- Saturday Night Milton'sOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/9/2014The service was slower than average but not too bad for a Saturday night. The fresh pepper soup from the garden had bitter after taste. Thr wine was fabulous ( Caricature). The spinach that was fresh from the garden had a very bittertaste as well the steak and risotto were good. It was fairly pricey for the taste of tthe food. I would probably go back for happy hour. The ambiance was nice.Special Features:
- My birthday dinnerSandeeDined on 8/9/2014The food and service were wonderful. Everything was so fresh tasting. We chose to sit outside and the fans kept us quite comfortable. The only thing the fans couldn't control were some pesky flies that wanted to share our dinner! Overall I highly recommend this restaurant.Special Features:
- Great food at a local favoriteCrabapplechickDined on 8/9/2014I went to Milton's for a special dinner with family members, and wasn't disappointed. The service was a bit slow, even though the restaurant was mostly empty (we waited a while for the check to be picked up), but was made up for by the amazing food. The fried pickles were awesome, and the NY Strip is a great choice. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends; however, I would also recommend that they bring bug spray. The flies on the outdoor patio are unbearable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tucked away gemjakes1Dined on 8/8/2014WE have just moved to the Milton area from Illinois and needed a break from moving, it was our twins sons 19th birthday. I researched well rated restaurants nearby and this sounded good. It is a great ambiance in 2 old historic structures. We sat outdoors which was lovely. Service was excellent, steak and pasta were excellent. Nice selection of wine, very good evening overall. Only 1 disappointment. We love our bread before and during dinner so when they brought out a basket prior to the food, the loaf look very appealing like home baked....then we found out the center was still mostly frozen. A bit disappointing but immediately rectified with an apology and fresh bread. Just a small bump in an otherwise great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great food- soso servicegoofyVIPDined on 8/4/2014no excuses necessary- great food. service lacked apparently because it had been an unexpected busy Monday night!!!! Would have ordered more - no one came to see if we wanted anything. Went to bar after dinner- no bartender to be found for 8-10 mins. Crazy! Will give another chance - food so great hard to pass another great meal.Special Features:
- Great Crab CakesDocSweitzerDined on 8/3/2014These are the best Crab Cakes I have had in Atlanta, and I formally lived near the Chesapeake Bay where they make great crab cakes!Special Features:
- Service/foodgrtdining1Dined on 8/2/2014Being "out of towners", this was our first time at Milton's. We were dog sitting for our daughter who went on vacation and when she got back, she recommended Milton's to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. From the time we entered the restaurant to getting the car from the valet, the personal attention made us feel like we were regular customers. Everyone we came in contact knew our name and was very customer oriented. The food and service was superb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special OccasionGourmetettesVIPDined on 8/1/2014We met my husband's former colleague here for a special reunion dinner and were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food and wine choices. Our friend ordered a bottle of champagne that was pleasantly sipped by all. My husband and I enjoyed our Charleston She Crab soup for our appetizers. I had the sesame crusted trout for my entrée, which included 3 pieces of trout fillet. I ate one and took the other two home, along with the crab and sweet potato fritters and mashed potatoes. We'll keep this restaurant in mind whenever we are meeting friends again.Special Features:
- Great find!DanessaDined on 7/30/2014We dined at Milton's for my birthday and had a wonderful evening. We brought our 2 boys and they enjoyed it as well. We loved the collard roll, with the jam that has a little hint of spice. The lobster asparagus risotto was also a winner with my husband. The food, service, and ambiance was perfect! We will definitely be going back!Special Features:
- Office GatheringFoodrespiteDined on 7/30/2014Our office staff gathered for a much needed dinner. We were treated professionally and promptly by a very knowledgeable waiter. The food was server promptly. Everything from appetizers, entrees, and desserts were excellent. The fried green tomatoes were excellent as well as the bisque. The daily specials of divers scallops as well as a shrimp pasta with fresh vegetables from the Milton acre were terrific. The Mountain Trout was just dreamy. The shrimp and grits were some of the best ever!. We all enjoyed the evening and ended it with a walk through the garden. We would readily return. Please consider this restaurant as a real gem with extraordinary fare.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- In a word..... AMAZINGlksjonesDined on 7/30/2014I initially was referred to Milton's by my manager while visiting Alpharetta for work. I was blown away with the amazing food and service. I went back to Alpharetta this past week for another business meeting and brought co-workers there twice because of the great experience. Everyone absolutely loved it. They have an eclectic menu that has something for everyone. You absolutely MUST try the Shrimp Fritters! I've had the Pork Loin Roast, Airline Chicken and Shrimp and Grits and to be honest, I'm not sure that I have a favorite - they were each so unique and delicious it's hard to choose a favorite! I can't wait for my next Alpharetta trip just so I can eat at Milton's! Oh - and PLEASE don't forget the carrot cake! The best ever!Special Features:
- anniversaryperfectionDined on 7/29/2014Excellent food with great presentation. Ambience driven by special request for quiet table as we were celebrating a wedding anniversary. Table and room were perfect as requested. Waitress was extremely knowledgeable, explained everything, and attentive to our needs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Date: December 17, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Longboat Key Town Commission is moving forward with plans for breakwaters on the north end of the island even though Longbeach condominiums may not sign an easement necessary to permit two of the four structures to hold sand.
Town Manager Bruce St. Denis received permission to move forward even if only two of the structures are built. The town's beach engineer told commissioners two breakwaters are better than nothing.
The town also will move forward with an inlet management study and a possible emergency sand project. And, in the next couple of years, the town discovered a Longboat Pass dredging project being performed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers could bring the town some sand for its eroded north end.
Also at its meeting, the commission:
Forwarded to its Monday, Jan. 4 regular meeting:
• An ordinance that transfers $30,000 from the beach fund balance to the North Shore Road erosion control structure construction project.
• A resolution that makes funds available for the preliminary election required on Jan. 26.
• A proposed ordinance that requires newly seated commissioners and all board and committee members to receive mandatory training in public records, the state's Sunshine Law and ethics.
• Additional information regarding investment return assumptions for its three pension plans.
• The possibility of having joint meetings with the town's three pensions boards with Finance Director Tom Kelley.

Of course 2 would be better than none because as a consultant you still get paid whether its 2 or 4, but get paid NOTHING for zero/NONE!
More town funds spent on Consultants - rather than someone who would do some REAL WORK.

- Longbeach Condominium residents believe that Commissioner Jaleski's plan for inlet management is the way to go contrary to what our so called highly priced consultant recomends.. After all, the Condo Owners live there and want to control their destiny. They refuse to grant the town an easement to erect a series of Breakwaters which they feel will create further erosion.

A Skull Carved From Old Software Manuals!
Even if skulls aren't in your decorating repertoire, you have to admit this is a pretty darned cool project. Most of us who work in the computer industry have more outdated hardware and software manuals than we know what to do with. I'd certainly be more inclined to keep them around if they could take the form of a sculpture like this!
Christopher from Colossal spotted the work by Canadian fine artist, Maskull Lasserre. The near perfect rendering of a human skull is impressive.
Other examples of Maskull's work with books can be seen here and here.

I like it, but looks like a time consuming process. There was a company in the 90's that made a self-contained unit that would scan your head and then cut a 3-D bust from foam, all in about half an hour. I saw it at a couple of street fairs. I tried to find more, any, information about it on Google without luck.
This is so cool. There are no words.

hi, i realise there was a brush sharing thread here along while ago but ..well it has more or less disappeared and most new members dont know about it i thought it would be good to start a new thread for people to post their favourite brushes with examples etc and share info on brush settings and creating brushes etc...
i have several custom brushes i like that people may want to download..(I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE THEM AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD IF SOMEONE COULD TELL ME HOW I WOULD APPRECIATE IT AND POST THE FILES )
you might not like them but post your own custom brushes of favourite default brushes and peices you have used them in as an example or just a few strokes of them
(if there is already a new rthread for this lemme know i will just shut this and let it die off )
here are some i have created for different effects
this will probrably flop, get no replys and die but hey..i tried..i hope other ppl can help other ppl here
Any fool can know. The point is to understand.
Thanks for starting this thread. How did you make the first yellow ones... I like the natural feel you gave to them. Maybe as a suggestion for this thread for those people who want to show off their brushes should post a pic or list of settings used in the Brush Palette Config, and the original "Brush Tip Shape" beside it. And about saving Brushes, I THINK if just save the brushes as an ABR file (in the options of the Brush Palette), and post it here, we shouldn't have no problems in sharing brushes. Try it so I can test it out.

I'd love to see some cool custom brushes-I'll post some of mine if I get time-been rockin the brush making a fair amount recently and it'd be sweet to see some others just to get fresh ideas. Rocking thread
Indeed. Everyone can save their custom brushes by having them open in the brush palette and then saving the custom brush set. Just be sure to not have any other extra brushes in the pack (especially the original Photoshop brushes) because it tends to confuse people. I have hundreds of brushes that I will have to post up one day soon.Thanks for the post? How did you make the first yellow ones... I like the natural feel you gave to them.

well the strange shape you can see on the top left of that picture is a stamp of the brush--that is the brush tip to get to sort of light misty part around it i like to smudgr parts of the tip that are at the side of the tip so if you see the stroke on the brush tip leading off upwards towards the left i smudged it slightly backwards and so it leaves thats effect.
not 100% SURE about "natural" lol but basicly for those strokes there i just put fade on at about "1037" and it leaves that nice effect at the tail of the stroke.
Any fool can know. The point is to understand.
i still havent been able to find out how to make brushes downloadable here lol..i will look into it and ask around.
for now ill just post another picture.
this is a brush i created primarily for doing bushes/trees/undergrowth etc etc.
and the picture is a several second example of how i use it lol not a great example but does the job i normaly use it with better colours and on a smaller scale, like a tree in a background for the edges, the colours in this one are horrible but i just clicked on the first two greens randlomly

thought I'd add some images to make it more fun
For the grass I went out to some fields, collected some grass, scanned one bit in, cut it out, made the brush, set the spacing a little apart, and I think I used a bit of shape dynamics for size to be set to pen pressure.
this one was pretty much all done with a square photoshop standard (I cant remember off-hand where it is exactly....but that square of paint on the right is what it looks like)and all I changed was the opacity jitter to pen pressure in other dynamics (something i discovered recently in another thread somewheres around here-but thats super usefull-if you've not tryed it I suggest you doI
absolutely love the second one Dav!
i hope this thread stays alive for a while. Im trying to figure out how to get that scratchy palette knife look in photoshop, and cant seem to get it right.
KAY so. I started a poll asking a thread like this to open. and it already is. Somene said we could zip our brushes so I zipped mine. Along with examples
The BG is the paper mache brush...it gives it a canson feel I think. well Tell me if it works and how ya'll like em.
this is one i did using a cutom comb brush i created, very similar the the default texture comb but with aome noticable differences when using it, its alot smoother and the storke sorta has a flick at the end to give it a kinda look like a ribbons in the wind (which was the effect i wa going for)
for those of you who havent seen it, the original brush sharing thread (nov-dec'06) some brushes available there
would be good if some ppl would post this thread in their signatures or something to get more people aware, not many ppl use this forum.
(im still not sure how i upload brush sets )
this is a stufy of another painting, done using the brush you see in yellow on my first post. THIS IS A DIRECT COPY FROM REFRENCE OF ANOTHER PERSONS PAINTING. painted by me but 100% from refrence painting.
this was just a play with that brush after icreated it, and i was also just trying to ease myself back into colour selection in PS after nt having used it in a while.

or, hive minD im not sure how it works in painter..but maybe i or some other ppl could send you the stamp of the brush and you can just define it as a brush on painter and apply the setting you are comfortable with

let's try to make this thread Photoshop only, since it's in this section.

I thought I'd link this thread too:
I REALLY think they should make Brush threads Sticky in both Photoshop and Painter forums. It's a great resource.
Another suggestion for this thread: In addition to posting the brushes for download, if possible simple post the brush tip shape at its actual resolution. I use PS7, so most downloadable brushes I find in these kind of threads don't work for me. With the brush tip ship posted, I can just save the image and make the brush myself from there.
i still havent been able to upload a brush set onto here..but i doubt it will be suitable for anyones PS version because im just working with the photoshop elements4.0 that was pre installed on my laptop so. old version. very old.
arshes nei-
yep i linked that same thread up a few posts got some good brushes
i did show the bursh tip on some of the ones i did but i know they are crap and not suitable for saving and making brushes from. i will up load them soon.
i create them at very high resoloutions though because im too stupid and lazy to make canvas a decent size..i just make the brush smaller when i paint with it.
will upload some tips tomorrow
(glad its now a sticky along with clos3d's thread. who made them stickies?..)
Any fool can know. The point is to understand.
this one was just to test saving it for web works as a higer res.
i think it has?
well will upload more right now, that i can.

Kind of a noob question.....not quite sure how to word it, thus not quite sure how to search for it....
How would one go about affecting the 'angle' of the brush in photoshop?
Notice how the triangle 'lines' in this piece seem to follow the path? So all the triangles aren't all facing the same direction, they are following one another in different angles....
It obviously looks pretty 'Illustrator' to me, but is there some way to do that in Photoshop?
I start to think, and then I sink,
into the paper, like I was ink.
im not sure jettison sorry =( but is that piece by ANDROID?..i think is his screen name. tis pretty awsome huh
Any fool can know. The point is to understand.
I actually found out how-
Check it
I start to think, and then I sink,
into the paper, like I was ink.
i believe android does that in painter using the pattern chalk. it can however be done as described in the brush presets in PS.
hey life on the sofa, have you figured out how to host and post your brushes yet? you have some cool ones. i will host them for you if you want, just let me know, send me the brushes you want hosted and i will create a download link for them. i have lots of free web space.
Just in case someones too lazy to go to deviantart: this is the way to do the directional shapes in PS, like the forms found in android's recent digital work:
In the "Shape Dynamics" section of the Brushes Palette, go to to "Angle Jitter", and set the control to "Direction". Remember to make the spacing higher than usual (the control is in Brush Tip Shape section), so the individual shapes can be distinguished inside the whole stroke.

ped454 brushes set is awesome. I was just needing the rake brush! Really thanks!
I found these excellent cloud brushes. However I only use one of them, used as a brush preset. It makes the absolute, best cloud ever. See what you think.
I use a liberal pressure for the background clouds. And the layering is excellent. If you tap the brush it makes smaller more concentrated clouds. Layering clouds lighter or darker to mimic sunlight or precipitation is effortless. I stamped it with the brush creator's credit.
You can just use a cloud image like it,(b&w), magic erase the sky around it and use the settings Jenn used. She did such a beautiful job with them.

Boat Misting System Kit
The ultimate accessory for pontoons, t-tops, bimini tops and wakeboard towers. It's like adding an air conditioner to your boat!
Misting is based on the theory of Evaporative Cooling. The system forces water through specially designed misting nozzles creating a fog of ultra fine water droplets with an average size of 50 microns or less. The water droplets are so small they can instantly flash evaporate, which can reduce the surrounding temperature as much as 30 degrees in just seconds. This boat mister uses a one of a kind booster pump that draws only one amp, delivers 130 psi and keeps a flow rate as low as one gallon per hour depending on the number of nozzles attached. Connect the boat mister system to the onboard water source, a water container (not included) or draw water from most fresh water lakes.
This cool refreshing air makes your boating experience more enjoyable and can lengthen your stay on the water during the hottest summer days! With this kit, it's easy to turn your bimini into a bimini mister, your t-top into a t-top mister, or your wakeboard tower into a wakeboard tower mister.

Beautiful Condo in a convenient location
This was our second stay with these owners and this property was just as nice as the first property we stayed at. The condo had everything you could possibly think of in regards to day to day accommodations. The split floor plan for the bedrooms gives enough privacy that at the end of the day you can just relax in your own space if needed. The condo complex is quiet and backs up to a wash so you have privacy to sit out on the patio and enjoy the surroundings. The location is close to restaurants, shops and local attractions. Laurie and Chuck do a wonderful job at making you feel at home. We look forward to future stays.
Perfect For Golfers !
Views, location, amenities, what a place ! A Perfect 10 ! Four guys on a week golf trip and it was the best.
Exceptional Condo
As first time home away travelers we were a bit nervous booking our first stay. The owners were very patient with all our questions and were waiting for us when we arrived. Upon arriving we were given a walk through of the condo and an overview of the property layout, keys and security. The condo was exactly as described. Clean and impeccably decorated it was a comfortable size for our party of three adults. The condo is conveniently located to shopping, restaurants, hiking and access to the 51 for a quick trip to downtown and the airport. The pool area is quiet for a relaxing afternoon and workout room was clean with up to date equipment. We would stay again and recommend this to anyone looking for a central location to the Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and Phoenix area.

You Better Believe Sprint's Turnaround Story
Muhammad is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Welcome to the 'turnaround corner', an incline very familiar with names like Research In Motion (NASDAQ: BBRY), Nokia, Alcatel Lucent, FairPoint Communications and Sprint (NYSE: S). All these distinct turnaround stories have been widely documented throughout last year and continue to attract attention even at the outset of this year. Different analysts have demonstrated varying sentiments toward each individual turnaround story. Nonetheless, there is a predominant bullish outlook on Sprint. Its undisguised dominance relative to its peers in the 'turnaround corner' tells a story of a stock that is latched onto an unwinding road to outperforming.
The daylight between Sprint and turnaround peers is compelling
There is some real daylight between Sprint and its turnaround peers. Despite the fact that most turnaround stories are panning out in a desirable fashion, Sprint seemingly appears to be the only one which has managed to actually raise its head above the water, so to speak. Comparing Sprint's revenue growth for 2012 with that of Research in Motion, Nokia, FairPoint and Alcatel, it comes of note that Sprint is the only one with a positive growth rate. In simple terms, Sprint was the only one that managed to increase its sales throughout 2012.
The chart below offers a richer insight on the same:
As shown, Sprint's top line grew at a rate greater than its peers. Nokia and Research in Motion suffered the biggest dips; attributable to their inability to present products that could gnaw into Apple's and Google's share in the smartphone segment.
While a lot of expectations are pegged onto Research in Motion's BlackBerry 10 launch slated for late January, I am convinced that Research in Motion, albeit promising, has a long way to go as far as rivaling Sprint goes. What's more is the fact that, unlike Sprint, Research in Motion has to worry about existing competition and the possibility of new entrants into the smartphone market (there is unending debate that Amazon will make an in on the market).
As far as a turnaround is concerned, Sprint's story couldn't go any better. Despite the high capital expenditure traceable to the high priority Network Vision Project, I am inclined to believe that this telecom player will fully restore bullishness this year.
Network Vision Project provides sure leeway into Verizon and AT&T's closely guarded turf
In as much as it is worthwhile to take a look at Sprint in contrast to its turnaround peers, it proves more useful if you compare it with its direct competitors. Despite being bigger, Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and AT&T (NYSE: T) have already started feeling the pressure of Sprint. The latter is not only putting the mishaps of the ill-famed Nextel deal in the rear view, but it is also making notable advances in the wireless segment.
I believe that the wireless segment will be the cash cow in every telecom player's business in the coming years. Consolidating a concrete foundation right now is the best way to go. This is exactly what Sprint is doing. Although its roll out isn't as expansive as that of Verizon and AT&T, it is impressive because of the profound impact that it has had on Sprint's top line.
Sprint's wireless platform (excluding Nextel run-off) managed to grow third quarter revenue at a rate of 15 percent year-over-year. Even if you include the Nextel run-off, Sprint's wireless platform still managed to record a revenue growth rate of 7 percent last year. This figure is a few percentage points shy of Verizon's 7.3 percent growth rate and relatively higher than AT&T's 6.6 percent growth rate (all growth rates exclusively focus on wireless platform). This suggests that Sprint's wireless platform is doing much better than that of the bigwigs in the industry. I believe that the viral growth of Sprint's wireless platform is attributable to the aggressive slant that the telecom player has taken with regard to 4G LTE. It managed to increase its site locations from a paltry 600 in Q1 2012 to 2300 in Q3 2012. Analysts argue that these sites could reach close to 12000 by the fall of Q1 2013. This exponential increase in Sprint's 4G rollout exclaims its untold yet obvious desire to bridge the gap between itself and bigger competitors.
In conclusion, I believe that Sprint is a good choice for a canny investor looking to cash in big. Its turnaround story is getting rosier by the day, market conditions continue to brighten in light of expected product launches in the year, and most importantly, its price is cheap relative to its competitors. Sprint is a buy.

Four-Time ISA Champion Juan Ashton Leading Puerto Rico; Former ASP World Champion Sunny Garcia Making ISA Debut for Hawaii
Nicaragua ISA World Masters Surfing Championship
July 14 to 22, 2012
Colorado Beach at Hacienda Iguana, Nicaragua
Contested in the world-class waves at Colorado Beach at Hacienda Iguana, the Nicaragua ISA World Masters Surfing Championship brings together the best over-35-year-old surfers from nations around the world. More than 130 athletes from 25 nations will be competing for individual medals, team medals and the perpetual Eduardo Arena Trophy, which will be awarded to the Gold Medal-winning team.
Many of the surfers soon to compete at the Nicaragua ISA World Masters Surfing Championship represent a different surfing generation - before the Danes, Kolohes, Jordys and John Johns of the world - when power surfing and tube-riding acumen were the keys to competitive success. The teams from Hawaii and Puerto Rico will be comprised of some of the most heralded and accomplished athletes from that generation.
Hawaii's Sunny Garcia was the poster-boy for power surfing. Born and raised on Oahu, he was, and still is a dominating force on the North Shore, having won a record six Triple Crown titles and the 2000 ASP World Championship. Competing in an ISA event for the first time, Garcia is entered into the Men's Masters (over-35) and Men's Grand Masters (over-40) divisions.
Rochelle Ballard is an accomplished tuberider representing Hawaii, who is expected to excel in the conditions at Colorado Beach. A consistent top-ten finisher on the Women's ASP World Tour in the late-'90s and early 2000s, Ballard truly made her name as one of the first and finest women to prove herself in big barrels at Backdoor and big, barreling waves around the world. She'll be competing in the Women's Masters division (over-35).
Mike Latronic was a top surfer on the Hawaiian Pro-Am circuit before trading his competitive career for one in surfing media. He stills surfs frequently and at the ISA World Masters last year in El Salvador he finished fifth in the Men's Kahuna division (over-45). He'll be trying to make it onto the podium in that same division in Nicaragua this July.
Glenn Pang will be the elder statesman of the Hawaiian team, competing in the Men's Grand Kahunas division (over-50). A longtime shaper in Hawaii, plowing through foam for T&C Surf, Pang will be making his ISA debut.
Having won the Team Copper Medal the past two years and a Silver Medal in 2007, Puerto Rico will be aiming for the Team Gold Medal and the Eduardo Arena Trophy in Nicaragua. Fielding a team full of accomplished competitive surfers, the Puerto Ricans should be in the running when the final days of the event come around.
Returning to compete this year is Juan Ashton, the most decorated ISA World Masters surfer of all time, with four Gold Medals and a Copper Medal hanging in his trophy room. The defending champion in the Grand Masters division will try to extend his record medal count in the same division in Nicaragua. Also competing in the division for Puerto Rico will be Jose Medina, who is a newcomer to ISA competition.
In the Men's Masters division, Carlos Cabrero and Norberto Pena will represent the country. Though Pena is new to the ISA World Masters, Cabrero is the defending Silver Medalist in the Masters division, along with an impressive competitive resume. In 2000, he won the HIC Pipeline Pro, and in 2002 he finished in the top-10 of the Open Men's division of ISA World Surfing Games in Durban, South Africa.
Javier Gorbea will be competing in both the Men's Kahunas and Grand Kahunas divisions. He won the Copper Medal at Santa Catalina, Panama in 2010 and last year finished sixth in the Grand Kahunas division. Werner Vega will also be competing in the Kahunas division.
Rebecca Kay Taylor will be the lone Puerto Rican competitor in the Women's Masters division. This will be her first year competing for Puerto Rico at the ISA World Masters.
The ISA World Masters Surfing Championship will begin on July 14 with the Opening Ceremony in Rivas, and competition at Colorado Beach at Hacienda Iguana will commence the following day.

We love GIFS. They make us laugh. They make us cringe. We've made some pretty stellar ones after long meetings and late nights — today's inside joke. But while we like making our own GIFS we really appreciate the art of GIFS from all of the other GIF-makers out there.
So we started to look for these artists. A zillion of tweets ago, we came across GIFRIENDS, a group of talented GIF-makers and friends. I (not-so-secretly) wanted to be friends with them. Their name alone said we were destined to be friends.
As you know, I'm a big fan of Collaborative Art so I thought it would be fun to try a collaborative GIF. The idea: each group would provide images to work with and each group would "GIF-a-fy", and send them back.
Here's where we landed:

Anish Kapoor: Flashback
From the Arts Council Collection
Exhibition Guide
Anish Kapoor is one of the leading artists working in Britain today. His sculptures are characterised by his distinctive use of materials, sense of scale and an ongoing investigation into positive and negative space. He is fascinated by opposite forces: contrasts of light and dark, form and void, inside and outside, surface and depth, abstraction and figuration, reflection and absorption. Employing colour dramatically, he uses natural organic shapes and abstract forms, often with optical effects, to produce sensual and beguiling sculptures.
The Flashback series invites artists to revisit earlier works in the Arts Council Collection and use them as a starting point for reflection on their subsequent practice. This exhibition has been selected by Anish Kapoor to complement the specific architecture of each venue and he has included some important works from different points throughout his long and distinguished career. The development of his practice seen here ranges from early sculptures made using pigment, to later works employing stone and mirrored surfaces, to works that engage directly with the surrounding architecture. Finally the exhibition includes two recent works made from wax, a material he has experimented with since 2005.
Anish Kapoor was born in Bombay (Mumbai) in 1954. He came to London to study art in 1973 and has lived there ever since. He has exhibited his work in exhibitions and public spaces all over the world, produced major pieces of public sculpture including Sky Mirror 2001, Nottingham, Cloud Gate, 2004, Chicago and Temenos, 2010, Middlesbrough. He was awarded the Turner Prize in 1991 and made a CBE in 2003.
Kapoor is renowned for his unique use of colour. Early works such as White Sand, Red Millet, Many Flowers 1982 and Red in the Centre 1982 feature a range of ambiguous forms covered in pure coloured pigment. These works were made in the years following a visit to India in 1979 during which he saw for sale in markets mounds of raw pigment ready for use in cooking, dyes and in rituals.
The artist has talked about the "propensity of colour to induce reverie" and is interested in how different hues have different associations. For example, yellow represents desire and passion; blue evokes the sky and ocean and therefore signifies the limitless and the infinite; and red, a colour of spiritual significance, is fundamental to the artist's work due to its powerful and emotive qualities. In more recent wax pieces like Negative Box Shadow 2005, Kapoor uses a dark red which alludes to the colour of blood and the depths of the human body.
Kapoor also employs colour in a formal sense and exploits the illusory effects of certain colours. Dark colours, like the blue used for Void 1994 and the deep Prussian blue applied to the interior of Adam 1988-89, absorb light and suggest endless caverns. In contrast lighter hues, or even mirrored surfaces devoid of colour, reflect light and produce unlimited reflections.
During the 1990s, Kapoor moved from matte surfaces to shiny ones. He said "the traditional sublime is the matte surface, deep and adsorbing, and .. the shiny might be a modern sublime, which is fully reflective, absolutely present, and returns the gaze." Turning the World Inside Out 1995 is one of the first of Kapoor's highly polished mirrored works in which we see ourselves and our surroundings reflected. These reflections are distorted, warped by the curved surface and become unreadable. Not only do we, as viewers, become part of the work but we experience a sense of disorientation due to the optical illusions. In Her Blood 1998 colour and mirrored surface come together in three huge concave mirrors, two of these are 'clear mirrors' and the third is stained with red.
The notion of the void, a state of emptiness, was one of the moments of real discovery in Kapoor's career. He said "the idea that if I empty out all the content and just make something that is an empty form, I don't empty out the content at all. The content is there in a way that's more surprising than if I tried to make a content. So, therefore, … subject matter is somehow not the same as content." There are three examples of the void in this exhibition: an early work Adam has a blue recess carved out of a large piece of freestanding sandstone; Void is a blue fibreglass bowl which sits on the wall; and in Untitled 1995 the stainless steel void penetrates the wall.
When I am Pregnant 1992 is a key work in Kapoor's career, as it pinpoints the moment when he moved from primarily floor-based sculptures to works which have a direct relationship with architecture. This is a playful artwork which subtly only reveals itself when we see it in profile. Whilst this work swells out, Untitled is embedded into the wall and breaks through its boundary. This piece operates like a vortex, seemingly pulling you into the dark void in its centre. The architecture writer Kurt W Forster said "what Kapoor has achieved in his installations … (is) turning space inside out, folding it in on itself and hollowing it out."
At first glance it might not appear that Kapoor's abstract sculptures make reference to the human figure. However there are many allusions to both male and female bodies in his work. When I am Pregnant has an obvious connection to expectant mothers, the title Adam refers to the first man in the Bible and the title and colour used in Her Blood suggest menstruation. The mirrored vortex of Untitled has a push and pull effect on our bodies and this void also suggests an orifice. The wax works, Negative Box Shadow and Moon Shadow 2005 have strong bodily associations. They are made by pushing, slicing and smoothing the sticky, soft material and the effect is one of visceral lumps of flesh.
Kapoor's works can be both mysterious and contemplative. One of Kapoor's lifelong interests is in the spiritual function of art and the exploration of universal truths. His work is not about organised religion, but instead he is interested in belief, passion and experience. His work affords a space for silent reflection in our busy lives.
A vital strategy in Kapoor's work is to get rid of the artists' hand. Kapoor has said "I must say that I worked quite hard to get rid of the hand. I've always felt the hand of the artist is overrated." It is important for Kapoor to remove himself from the art work - to remove any signs that he made or even conceived of the object himself. To do this he removes any physical evidence that he has constructed the artwork, unlike painters leaving brushstrokes or sculptors leaving chisel marks. This makes his works appear perfect and effortless, belying the many hours spent manufacturing them.
In the early pigment works, he flicked powder onto the sculptures leaving no trace of his hand. More recently he has worked with metals using specialist industrial processes, thereby removing himself even more from the manufacture of the artworks. Kapoor says that the mirrors "are very, very, very, difficult to make" because they have to be perfect with no aberrations which would ruin the look of the work. This idea goes much further than the ambition to remove physical evidence of the artist's labour. For Kapoor, this process is also about the creation of art works that have come into being without his intention or control. Though obviously Kapoor can never make an object that has entirely manifested itself, he is constantly exploring ways in which he can imbue his objects with a sense of the self-made.
Anish Kapoor's work can surprise, overwhelm and disorientate us. It can engage with all our senses, be exuberant and life-affirming and encourage us to reflect and contemplate. He has produced a distinguished and varied body of work over the last three decades and his continued explorations with materials and themes will doubtless delight visitors for many years to come.

General Restriction
NCAA regulations limit the amount of financial aid a student athlete may receive. "Financial aid" refers to funds provided to student-athletes from various sources to pay or assist in paying their cost of education at the institution, including athletic scholarships, federal grants, state grants, and outside financial awards (e.g. Lions Club, Rotary Club, BOEP).
Athletics Scholarships
Eligibility for Athletics Scholarships
In order to qualify for an athletics scholarship, a student-athlete must meet all applicable NCAA, conference and institutional regulations for receiving such financial aid (e.g., be a qualifier or a partial qualifier as a freshman student-athlete). A student-athlete may receive up to five years of athletically-related financial aid within six years of initial full-time collegiate enrollment.
One-Year Limit
There is no guaranteed four-year athletics scholarship in Division I. An athletics scholarship is awarded for one academic year but it may be renewed at the end of each academic year.
If a student-athlete is receiving an athletics scholarship, he/she will be notified by the institution's financial aid office by July 1 whether his/her grant has been renewed for the upcoming academic year. In the event that his/her athletics scholarship is not renewed, he/she will be provided a hearing opportunity to challenge the nonrenewal.
Outside Scholarships
A student-athlete may receive outside scholarships or grants but they must be declared with the university to determine whether the student-athlete exceeds his/her limit on financial aid. A student-athlete who is awarded an outside scholarship where athletics participation is a requirement (e.g., booster club scholar-athlete award for student-athlete with the highest GPA) must receive approval from his/her athletics department prior to accepting the scholarship.
A student-athlete may receive earnings from legitimate on- or off-campus employment during the academic year and during school vacation periods. Prior to employment, the student-athlete must sign a written statement also signed by his/her employer stating:
(a) the student-athlete's employment compensation does not include any remuneration for value or utility that he/she may have for the employer because of the publicity, reputation, fame or personal following due to athletics ability;
(b) the student-athlete will be compensated only for work actually performed; and
(c) the student-athlete will be compensated at a rate commensurate with the going rate in the locality for similar services.
For more detailed information about the permissible types of student-athlete employment, visit www.ncaa.org.

Question: I was injured on the job last year and I'm collecting Workers Comp benefits. The insurance company sent me to their doctor who says I can go back to work. If they make me a job offer, what do I do? Anonymous, Scranton, Pa.
Answer: If you are receiving workers compensation benefits and your employer secures evidence (usually a medical opinion) that shows you can return to work in some capacity, your employer may chose to make an offer of employment to you. The offered employment must be within your medical restrictions and in your local area. Once the offer is made you have the right to either accept or decline the job offer. If you decline the offer of employment, you must have a valid reason to do so.
If you decline the job offer, your employer will likely file a petition to reduce or suspend your wage loss benefits.The petition will be litigated before a workers compensation judge. The insurance company/employer must continue to pay benefits while the petition is litigated, unless the judge orders otherwise. Hearings will be held and depositions of witnesses may be taken as well. The judge will hear evidence from both you and your employer regarding the availability of the offered work and medical evidence which adddresses your ability to perform that work. Once all of the evidence is presented, the judge will render a decision.
If you've suffered a work injury and have questions about your claim, contact me at [email protected] or call (570) 347-1011 for a free consultation.

Ship To:
It should be a delight and pleasure to us to discern how God works all things in the world for His own glory and His people's good. But it should be an even greater pleasure to observe the particular designs of providence in our own lives. 'O what a world of rarities', says John Flavel, 'are to be found in providence...With what profound wisdom, infinite tenderness and incessant vigilance it has managed all that concerns us from first to last'. It was to persuade Christians of the excellency of observing and meditating upon this that Flavel first published his Mystery of Providence in 1678.
Since then the work has gone through many editions. Based on the words 'God that performeth all things for me' (ps.57 v 2) this work shows us how providence works for us in every state and experience of our lives. The book is richly illustrated from the lives of believers and from the author's wide reading in church history. There are avenues of spiritual knowledge and experience opened to the Christian in this work which he probably never knew existed.
