What a beautiful child!
Painting is also good therapy for Altzheimers
Amazing, she has a great awareness of hue and tone that most children don't have.
Such a wonderful & inspiring little girl! I look forward to seeing her story unfold!
As parents of Iris, you both should be applauded for your consideration, time, effort that you have obviously put in to understanding her world. It is a communication, may it not be verbal, but a means of expression that is foreign to most of us, but natural and integral to Iris, she knows exactly how to paint how she feels, thinks, and for Iris, I imagine a mile stone, bridging the lack of speech. I can hear her voice through her paintings.
It´s important when parents support their children. I think it is obligatory. but in case of Iris it is much more complicated besause she could not tell you, what she likes to do, you had to find out by trying and being attentive and patient. Bravo.
wonderfully said
thank you for sharing your precious angel's work of art and story with the world. I am so honored to have read this and know that you as parents have helped her more then you know by offering her the life of expression through painting. I have a 2 year old daughter myself and see alittle bit of her in Iris for some reason :) all children are blessings! take good care all of you!

How beautiful. I have been looking for a painting for a remodle we did last year. I have been putting it off becuase nothing has caught my eye. Please include me on the list of original paintings to purchase.
What an amazingly beautiful story. Your daughter has abilities that most adults will never be able to comprehend. I want one of her paintings!
Your story touches my heart. Iris is a beautiful child and she is your biggest gift in life. It's never easy having a child who has challenges, but every step you take with her is your blessing. May she continue to be a health and happy angel and may you enjoy your journey with her.
Iris could be friends with Julianna, my 3 year old granddaughter, also with autism. They could parallel paint together!
Iris is very talented for such a young age. Her paintings are beautiful.
What a stunning girl. As a speech therapist I applaud your efforts to find what works best for her. She is perfect in every way, and nobody can take away the light she gives to those around her.
I consider art an "Alternative Academic". It is fundamental for many people with special needs, including ADHD. As I am one, from childhood to now, a senior. It is well known and documented that learning happens in different ways through the senses. Creative expression and the creative process is fundamental to my health and well being, and for many others. Unfortunately and historically, the arts are the first educational programs always to be dropped nationwide in the U.S.A. Our education is constitutionally protected, in part. Why aren't the arts constitutionally protected too!! The arts, the "Alternative Academics are never protected in our school systems. Thus discriminating across the board excluding viable citizens the right to learn, by due process, the only way they can. It insures failure. Our brightest and best discoveries have come from the least expected places, nearly 100% from using imagination and the creative process. To deny this education is to insure slavery of another kind. As for Iris Grace…Yahoo!! Out of the mouths of babes…comes the light of the world, in a glimpse.

I'm not sure what is more beautiful, your child's work, or the love and acceptance you show as parents. Autism is so hard, but you've found her strengths which isnt easy. Best of luck to you all.
wow. I've never seen this kind of painting. it is marvelous. the use of colors is only a genius can do it. Her painting is really really makes me calm and happy… wow…
She is absolutely beautiful and has such a beautiful creative soul.
What a gift from God!

How lovely and positive your story is to those of us who have children with autism. We have lived with a lot of negativity from others towards us and towards our little boy. This story is a ray of sunshine, and so are all of our children.
I absolutely love her paintings. I may have to buy one for myself as a Christmas present!
You all are so fortunate to have such a very, very special little girl. Just imagine what masterpieces she'll be creating as she grows up and becomes an adult!!
What an amazing story! We offer art classes for children in our community. We believe there are amazing benefits to children being able to express themselves through art. Thank you for sharing Iris's story. Do you mind if I share her picture and story on our facebook page?
Pingback: 3-Year-Old Iris Grace's Breathtaking Impressionist Paintings - things worth describing
The mysterious ways of Lord may face us with this kind of milracolous beings, every now and then. I actually know nothing about Autism. But having met some Autistic kids, I like to think of them as such sensitive, lovely and connected with the divine spark ones, that they find it trully hard to interac with the world in these times we happen to live in. Keep on making Iris happy by loving her unconditionally and she will keep on amazing us all by that. Blessings and of course, congrats for that awesome kid of yours!
La pequeña en sí misma es un maravilloso cuadro lleno de belleza
I am an Interior Design student, graduating this year. I am designing a school for autistic children, and Iris is my inspiration! Her art will inspire the whole design of this facility! She's is a an amazing little genius!
I have had the pleasure of being involved with Autistic children in a music program, and the results were fantastic, they are the most talented little beings, and are to be admired.
I stumbled across your website while searching for a painting class for my 3 year old daughter, who loves to paint. Your daughters pictures gave me chills! What a very special daughter you have, and how fortunate she is to have found such passion, love, and serenity at her early age. I hope one day to purchase a print. Thank you so much for sharing, and I hope and pray your daughter's therapy continues to help!
Absolutely stunning art! Like Monet is guiding her hands. Your efforts to provide your beautiful daughter with tools for communicating and interacting with the world around her are to be commended.
Has she ever had an opportunity to to therapeutic horseback riding? The program I used to help run had many miraculous stories of young children speaking and/or walking for the first time. It taught out autistic spectrum students how to interact with their horse, volunteers and fellow students.
Looking forward to seeing more beautiful art from Iris.
Iris Grace is an amazing child. Your patience, understanding and love have helped her bloom. I have only met one person with Autism. He was the 23 year old son of a co-worker. Your daughter has given me a totally different view of Autism. To say I was ignorant is an understatement. Thank you for sharing your journey with Iris Grace. I'm sure I'm not the only one whose eyes and heart have been opened. <3

Bought a home in 2012.
I was drawn to Jennifer by her web site, which initially allowed me to look at all of her listings without having to "sign-up" for access. When my wife and I were ready to start, Jennifer put me at ease right away, assuring me that we would find the right house. She was extremely knowledgeable about the specific area that we were interested in, and very responsive to our needs. She took us to see a lot of homes, and gave us her honest opinion, and never said what we wanted to hear, for the sake of making a sale. Jennifer took a lot of her time to walk us through the process, and was available at all hours even weekends to respond to our questions. Quickly, Jennifer felt like family to us. She connected well with my wife and I, as well as to our two daughters. The girls looked forward to seeing Jennifer at the houses. Jennifer would always tell us that when you walk in a house, you'll know when it's the "one". Given our price range and list of specifics, I really didn't think that it would ever happen, but it did. We found the perfect home, with Jennifer's patience and understanding. During the contract process, Jennifer was a great negotiator and a "bull-dog", never backing down. She even was able to get us a John Deere tractor. The whole transaction was very smooth. In our opinion, Jennifer is a true professional and expert in her field. She has provided us with invaluable information and insight, which made the entire process less painful. Even more importantly, we would call Jennifer our friend. My wife and I would highly recommend Jennifer for anyone looking to buy or sell a house.
Response from Jennifer on 02/05/2013
Thank you very much! It was a pleasure helping you find your beautiful home. I am gald to see you enjoy those big gardens so much.

We feel so fortunate to have had Jennifer Tremaine as our buying agent. Her honesty and positive, friendly attitude was so refreshing! Jennifer proved to be very knowledgable and professional and we felt her genuine, dedicated interest in helping us find our new home. She was very prompt and thorough in answering all of our questions. Jennifer saw to it that every detail was in place and we could not have asked for a smoother purchase and closing. I would recommend Jennifer highly! She exceeded our expectations.

Jennifer went above and beyond what a normal person would do to complete our recent transaction. I have already referred her to several of my clients who want to sell their homes. She is a wonderful person who really cares about the person not the dollar. If there was a Real Estate Hall of Fame I would recommend Jennifer for top billing. She is one of a kind and a true gem, everyone should be so lucky to have her for their sales rep.

I recently got stuck in a traffic court department during a traffic ticket trial session. I didn't want to be there, but I could not help it. I needed the judge to sign off on a warrant recall. The judge knew what I wanted, and I knew what he wanted. He wanted me to wait until the infraction trials were done.
|Wait I did. I waited through 5 horribly discombobulated traffic court trials where everyday people tried to ask police officers questions, but really got nowhere at all. In fact, they got "housed" by the cops – which in my world means "Sent Home Crying".
Yes, you can ask a police officer questions in a Traffic Ticket Trial. It is your right to cross examine witnesses against you, and a cop is a witness against you. (5th & 14th Amendment to the US Constitution)
I thought to myself "these people have no idea what they are doing". And I fondly remembered one of my first days working at the Public Defender's Office when my boss, the brilliantly talented Defense Attorney, Ed Chun, called me into his office and taught me how to "Cross Examine" a cop on the witness stand. Then later that day in 1997, I went to court and did it for the first time.
Hello! It dawned on me. Maybe this sitting in traffic court is not a waste of time! Maybe I can write a blog article on How to Ask Police Officers Questions in court – and maybe make some $$$ on the Google Ads??? Yes. A Blog Article.
So here it is: Criminal Defense Attorney Tips on How to Ask Cops Questions. From a real trial attorney who has done it before the right way. And yes, it is free.
1) Know the Incident Scene Better than the Officer.
Attorneys call it a "Site Inspection". You must go to the scene of the incident prior to the hearing and look at everything. Is there a cross walk? What kind of bushes are there? What do the lights look like? What kind of lines are painted around the area? How is the lighting? What are the traffic patterns? What do the signs say?
If you know the scene better than the officer, you can lead with one or two questions about details that he may not remember, and put him/her on edge to start with. Catch them unprepared to start.
2) Never Ask a Police Officer "WHY" He/She Did Something.
If you ask a cop the dreaded "Why" question, you are giving the officer a free shot to explain anything they want to. And they have been to court more than you. They know what the judge wants to hear. If you let a cop start talking in court on his/her own, you are going to lose.
3) Ask Short, Closed Ended Questions.
Every single question you ask should be a "Yes" or "No" only question. And they should be as short as possible. Do not let the police officer talk on his/her own. Do not allow the officer to say anything other than "Yes" or "No" in response to your question. Use the "yes" or "No" answers to justify your argument about what happened. That is all you want. Yes, or No.
If a police officer refuses to give you a "Yes" or "No" to a Y/N question, you can use my trick: Immediately after the officer starts saying anything other than Yes or No, ask the exact same question over again. Over and over until you get a responsive answer.
You can also make an objection: "Your honor that was a non responsive answer to a yes or no question. I ask the court to strike that answer, and instruct the witness to provide a yes or no in response to my y/n question.
And if it gets really bad, strap on a set of balls, cut the officer off mid sentence and say: "Your honor, this officer is making things up, refusing to answer my question in a responsive manner, concealing information that favors my defense, and interfering with my right to cross examine the primary witness against me. I object and ask for a corrective instruction to the witness."
An easy way to make sure that you are asking a Y/N question is to start with "Is it true that . . . ." or even "True or False, . . . ." works.
For example, "Isn't it true that you did not document the reason you stopped me on the citation?" is a great closed ended question. So is: "Did you use any tools to measure the distance between your car and mine?" and "True or False, the citation says nothing about a seat belt violation?"
An example of a Horrible Question: "Why did you pull me over?" If you ask this question, you are going to lose.
4) Figure Out What You Need The Cop To Say To Win the Case.
In advance of the court trial, it is imperative that you sit down and think about how the case will go. Figure out what information you need the cop to provide to win the case. If you cannot figure out what you need, do not ask any questions.
5) Plan Your Questions in Advance.
Once you figure out what you need, sit down and design a few, short, simple questions to get what you want. Write them down if you want to – it is OK. Do not just show and start invention question on the fly. It will not work, and the judge is likely to cut you off before you even get to anything important.
6) Have a Plan for How to Use The Answers You Want If You Get Them.
Imagine the police officer gives you exactly the answers you think will help you win your case. Then, in advance, think about how you are going to EXPLAIN TO THE JUDGE WHY THAT INFO HELPS YOU.
If you cannot explain to the judge why the cop's answers helped you, you are going to lose.
OK. There it is. Free Legal Advice on How to Ask Police Officer Questions. Follow these tips in your traffic court trial, and you can have a useful, effective cross examination. Do not be afraid to be bold. When that judge calls your case, it's your courtroom. You paid for it – use it.
And finally, (for those of you still here), and because I feel bad about using too many key words here – here is a final free tip:
7) Do Not Ever Ask a Cop a Question You Do Not Already Know the Answer To.
The object of cross examination (which is really an art) is to present favorable facts to the court as evidence. Cross examination is not for finding out why something happened.
That's it. Game Over. Insert new quarter Click. I could write a hundred more, but I have to work people.

Valuing the Preservation of Australia's Kakadu Conservation Zone
AbstractThe Australian Resource Assessment Commission conducted a large contingent valuation study to estimate the economic benefits of preserving the Kakadu Conservation Zone by incorporating it into Kakadu National Park rather than allowing mining in it. Different subsamples were presented, with scenarios representing the environmentalist (major) and mining industry (minor) views of the impacts. Willingness to pay to prevent the major impact scenario was twice as high as for the minor impact scenario. For both scenarios, benefit-cost analysis indicates that preservation should be chosen over mining. A valuation function to predict the willingness to pay responses is estimated.

'Fifty Shades' fiasco discussed at studio meeting
'Fifty Shades of Grey' fiasco discussed at studio meeting; recasting of Grey on track
By JESSICA HERNDON
AP Film Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP)—NBC-Universal employees have been told the recasting of Christian Grey in the company's film version of the erotic best-seller "Fifty Shades of Grey" will be finalized in the next few weeks.
A company-wide "town hall" on Wednesday covered a variety of subjects but "Fifty Shades" was the inevitable hot topic in the wake of last weekend's announcement that Charlie Hunnam was dropping out as Christian Grey, according to an NBC-Universal employee who attended the meeting.
The source, who requested anonymity because the meeting was private, also said NBCU officials confirmed "Fifty Shades" will still be released next year and that co-star Dakota Johnson remains committed to her role as Anastasia Steele.
The meeting was held primarily to introduce Jeff Shell, who is taking over as chairman of Universal Filmed Entertainment Group.

Now that we've all recovered from Thanksgivukkah, after overindulging ourselves on turkey and latkes, we have fallen into December and that special chill is in the air (Well at least half the time!). It's the time of year for parades and holiday lights, warm drinks and cozy sweaters, laughter and cheer. And while many of us may go away to visit family over the Christmas break, many of us have Santa come in our chimneys and through our lanai doors right here on the First Coast. No matter where we are, near or far, Jax is always close to our hearts, especially during the holidays. We did so much shopping supporting local on Small Business Saturday that we realized:
All the presents we want this year are right here in Jacksonville!
So we thought we'd put together our wish list to inspire you… or maybe just to give our family and friends a little hint-hint, wink, nudge! ;)
Here are our Northeast Florida Must-Haves this season:
Bold Bean Coffee Mug with Gift Card Inside
from Bold Bean Coffee Roasters
Bold Bean recently got some hand-crafted coffee mugs in their shop and just in time for the giving season. If you know me at all, you know I love my Iced Soy Honey Vanilla Latte. Oh my gee, so delicious. I should honestly be asking for a bottomless coffee mug of my favorite drink. I've made that "joke" for awhile now, I don't think they're catching on to me being serious!
Vintage Computer Chair
from Mara Vintage Store
Along with getting married comes reorganizing our newlywed home. Going from room to room unpacking boxes I realize the necessity of having a chair to go with a desk. I have a pretty cool desk but because there is no chair; I operate all Somewhere in the City stuff from the couch. I've become quite picky about needing a cool computer chair but this one from Mara Vintage Store would do just the trick.
Handcrafted Wooden Headboard
from Salvaged Ember
I loved interviewing my friends from Salvaged Ember! Reason why it was so much fun? They were my friends before the interview! I love that my friends are so talented and are flourishing with the talents they've been given. I would love to represent them in my very own home! Not to mention I'm a sucker for pallets and wood materials.
Handbatched Sugar Scrub
from Sucre Sucre
I won't lie to you, I actually already bought some of these : ) I just had to; after we published a guest post on these goodies I knew I needed some for my own personal gifts to give away. Hopefully none of my friends are reading this, I mean I hope they are, but I hope this doesn't ruin the surprise. However, I'm keeping them on my wishlist because all the ones I bought were for my friends!
A nice "G" for our Newlywed Home
We haven't posted about Eyes and Ears Designs but they are on my list of people to interview. They are fairly new and I can guarantee you'll be thanking me for telling you about Lindsey Brenner, creator of Eyes and Ears. She's creating unique additions to add to a home with hand-crafted artwork. I know I just said it but the amount of creativity that is around every corner of our city just blows me away. I can't believe I know some of the people that I know!
Chocolate and More Chocolate
from Sweet Pete's
Ok, so truth is, I am the typical girl who loves chocolate. I have chocolate hidden away in a sock drawer for my crazy moments. I'm scared to say I'd want Sweet Pete's for Christmas because I know they'd never make it to the sock drawer. They'd all end up right in my mouth, all at once. Sweet Pete's is located in Springfield creating delicious all natural gourmet candy. Last time I went I chowed down on lavender chocolate mixed in with some green tea chocolate. Come. On. Now. Put that in everyone's stocking!
Dozen Donuts
I waited patiently outside of Sweet Theory before they opened on day one! I couldn't wait to try their delicious goods. The donuts have to be my favorite thing to order. I'm so happy and proud of this local vegan bakery for just recently having their birthday. They've worked hard and their work tastes yummy. If I were to be given a dozen donuts, I might possibly eat them all. That's ok, right? It's the holidays dang it!
A Hand-Made Messenger Bag
from Burro Bag
My husband talks about Burro Bags non stop. I didn't realize how awesome they were until I took the time to read their website. Every product they make is hand-made and durable. They use products strictly from the good ol' USA. What I've heard about non-stop lately is their custom bags. Let's just say our family has now started saving up to get this as a gift. Durable, long lasting, and a cool city gift to have.
Pink and Aqua Tee
from Strght&Nrrw
I had heard of Strght&Nrrw before but didn't know too much about them. I recently heard their founder, Jay Harris speak. What he had to say and the way he viewed his business had me on board. I knew I'd want to support him, especially since they're located right in the middle of downtown and they're huge city advocates. They were even a venue in One Spark. If you're going downtown any time soon make sure to stop in and say hello to Jay. He has a ton of awesome stories to share.
Fort Stories Album on Vinyl
by Fort Stories
If you read my post on Fort Stories you already know I'm a huge fan of this 7 piece band. It's just something about them that I want to listen to them over and over again. I don't even own a record player but I desperately want to own their EP Mean Winter on Vinyl.
A "Dingo Loves Jax" Series Calendar
by YCL Art
Yvonne C. Lozano's work is fun and bright, and I love her commitment to the spirit of community. I was honored to be included in her "I M JAX" project, a database of Jacksonville residents in interactive silhouettes. Her "Dingo Loves Jax" series takes you through highlights of the First Coast, and who doesn't love the gift of a calendar during the holidays?
Two Tickets to the Pop! 333NYE Bash
at MOCA Jacksonville, hosted by The Contemporaries
MOCA boasts one of the hippest young professionals groups in town with The Contemporaries, a group of on-the-rise art lovers who host some seriously entertaining events. (If you'll remember, we interviewed President Virginia Chamlee a while back.) Their New Year's bash is always a hit, but this year is set to be the party of the season with a fantastically on-trend theme: Pop Art. What better way to ring in the new year than in Downtown Jax at a fabulous party, with friends, drinks, dancing, and a celebration of breaking away from tradition?
You might not be able to get it off a store shelf, but that makes this one-of-a-kind find all the more special. A #DTJax shirt lets people know several things about you at once: 1. That you know where the movement's at, 2. That you take pride in your city, and 3. That you understand that technology and our community are evolving together. Using social media as a tool for positivity- now there's something we could use #MoreofThis holiday season!
Cooking With Intuition First Edition Cookbook
from Intuition Ale Works
I'm so proud of local brewery Intuition Ale Works for this amazing debut cookbook, and something I hope will become a tradition for years to come. Although they may have been "forced" to re-locate after trying to help revive their area of town, I predict we'll be seeing big things in 2014 from Intuition. Their dedication to our community is astounding, and goes even as far as including member of the community in this cookbook! Look for our friends from Outside the Den inside!
from One Spark
One Spark left such a remarkable impact on Jacksonville this past year, and showed people far and wide what realized potential can look like in our city. What better way to remember this moment in history than a Lil' Sparky? Sitting on your desk or coffee table, Lil' Sparky reminds you on those tough days to keep pushing- if Jacksonville is going to become the city we all want it to be, we have to keep working on it every day!
Local Theater Season Tickets
to both Theatre Jacksonville & Players by the Sea Theater
There is absolutely nothing better than live entertainment, and for that, TJ & PBTS are two of my favorite spots in town! (I would include The 5 & Dime Theatre here as well, but as a nomadic company, no season tickets are available; you just have to wait and catch us where we land next!) Theater tickets make a great romantic gift; it tells the other person that you want to spend time with them and have a wonderful evening. Plus, TJ & PBTS have some outrageous seasons coming up: don't miss shows like 'Hilda's Yard' and 'Venus in Fur,' and smash summer musicals 'Les Miserables" and "RENT!"
to spend at the Riverside Arts Market
The Riverside Arts Market has to be one of my favorite places in Jacksonville. Eating lumpia and drinking fresh lemonade as a cool breeze blows under the bridge and local music acts play in the background… simply heavenly. RAM tokens are a fun way to give someone the gift of the RAM experience… it's like an arcade for adults! They work like currency with all the RAM vendors and can be spent on whatever the recipient desires. More inventive than a traditional gift card, and it supports local business!
Sometimes, after I interview someone for the blog, I end up with a wonderful friend; and such is the case with Steve Williams. Steve doesn't have a lot of time to make his own art, since he runs Harbinger Sign Co., Florida Mining Gallery, attends every major event in town, and is an awesome Dad… but when he does, watch out! We were lucky enough with Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson this summer to have Steve create a series of pieces for the gallery, and his pop/modern/punk/traditional take on the early President had me head-over-heels for Ole Hickory.
St. Johns Cruise & Symphony Night
from Foxy Lady Cruises and
the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra
I've had the pleasure of taking a cruise on the Foxy Lady as well as hearing the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra live. The idea of both in the same night? Sounds like a Downtown night made in heaven! This partnership provides an ideal packaged evening of a smooth St. John's cruise followed by symphonic bliss. The cruise is offered with several different JSO events, but the best option to me sounds like Verdi's Requiem- the soaring heights of Dies irae is the kind of music symphonies are made for!
Fee-Fie-Foh-Fum Album Pre-Order
I couldn't be more in love with these two if I tried. This unstoppable twosome works hard, plays hard, and spreads their joy with anyone they come in contact with. Their debut album as a duo, The Fudge Sessions, has been on repeat on my iTunes (listen to Hit the Ground if you haven't yet!) and left me hungry for more. They have decided to crowdfund the production of their next album, and with their philanthropic work for charity:water, a pre order of Fee-Fie-Foh-Fum is a great gift for the music lover or globally-conscious friend in your life!
Two Tickets to the next Live Recording of Swamp Radio
I went ghosting with the premier of Swamp Radio… and I loved it! Seriously, there is some amazing original programming coming out of Northeast Florida lately (Al Letson's State of the Re:Union, anyone?) and I've even heard rumors of more Jacksonville-based podcasts coming in 2014… Swamp Radio offers a fun look into all things exclusively North Florida, and records with a live audience in tow! The marshlands of the Intercoastal never had a better voice than this, and episode two will record in the fabulous Florida Theatre in Downtown.
Peruvian Guitar Strap
from The Original Fuzz
These guys were so much fun to interview and they sell high-quality guitar straps with unique Peruvian patterns. All of the straps are made under fair trade conditions, and I love the designs. They also have gear bags, cords, and basically are growing insanely fast with new products every month.
Drema Farmer Necklace
from Olive
Drema takes crystal jewelry to a whole new level. I have always been fascinated by the coolness that seems to come from crystals and they are, of course, absolutely beautiful. Though it is a little bit bigger than something I would normally wear, I would wear this guy every chance I could get. I think it would go well with a dark, cool-colored shirt.
Black and Tan Truffles
Guys. You don't even know. Please try these things. They are insane. Insane in the dark chocolately, rich, guinness-y, deliciously smooth membrane. I remember testing these before they were released (In my past life as a chocolatier). I just remember thinking that this is the next chocolate covered popcorn item for Peterbrooke.
70's-Style Earrings
from Five Points Antiques
Every time I pass by this store I have a fight with myself about how much time I will spend in there…and I lose. If you are looking for a unique Christmas gift, this is the place for you. I cannot guarantee you will find this exact pair of earrings, one because the place is pretty much a maze packed full with the equivalent of an I Spy book, and two because…I bought them already.
Sweet Grace Candle
from Jane Doe
This is one of the most heavenly smelling things I have ever laid nostrils on. This particular candle is burned throughout the store daily because that is all it takes to convince customers to buy it. If that is not enough, the company is teamed up with a organization that uses the income to provide meals in impoverished countries.
This is the gift that someone would buy me, and then my fiancee Joel would immediately steal. The maple flavor is so unique and goes perfectly with a Loaded Goat. In fact, Maple Street's coffee is arguably just as good as their biscuits. That's right. I said it.
with The Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra
Recently speaking with the Jacksonville Symphony's Bassoonist (Anthony Anurca) has inspired me to give the Symphony a second listen. The way he described the music and how interactive the whole performance is made me want to see the orchestra from a new perspective. Anthony described how every performance is different depending on the night and the feelings of everyone involved. It is a truly unique experience.
Whipped Shea Body Frosting (Hulk Scent)
from Bella Lina Bath
This whipped body frosting smells good, feels good, and is only $7. I was really surprised by that because it lasts forever. I met Jessica at the Southside Farmer's market and she is so amazingly happy. She really takes pride in everything she makes and even makes all of her products on small batches in order to sell the freshest soaps and creams.
Tickets to the Artist Series presents Broadway in Jacksonville
Presented by FSCJ
The inner drama kid in me did a quick little maniac dance of her own when I saw that "Flashdance the Musical" was coming to Jacksonville. The Center for Performing Arts always brings such great performances so this is bound to be good.
from Flora & Fauna Photography
This Ponte Vedra couple creates the most enchanting scenes. They are so creative and are amazingly talented. They focus on nature and natural light as their background. I can't stop going through their gallery. Take a look for yourself!
from Jacksonville Humane Society
It's been so hard not being allowed to have a pet at the apartment I'm living in. It's so….inhumane! There are so many adorable pets just waiting to be adopted at the Jacksonville Humane Society.
from Reina Cookies
Hands down, the best cookie I have ever had.
from Community Loaves
I love the girls from Community Loaves and their bread! They always have a variety of exceptionally tasty sourdough bread. You can buy a subscription and get a loaf of bread every week for a month!
I love getting flowers. They just brighten up my day every time I see them and this flower shop is just the place to buy the perfect bouquet!
Gift cards always get a bad rep for "not being thoughtful." but honestly, I think it is the best gift for poor married folk like me. Maple Street is one of my favorite places in Jax. This awesome biscuit place is a perfect gift!
Ever since I met the artists over at King Street Studios, I have been dying to take one of their art classes. Between knife making, bead looming, and form folding bowls I just can't decide! Maybe all three should be on my wish list!
from Oscar & Lula Salon
Love this salon! Not only does it look cool on the inside but you also leave looking cooler than when you came in! I'd love a chance to get pretty & pampered at the same time.
From all of us here at Somewhere in the City, Happy Holidays to you & yours!

The Today show had a story about the fake sign language at Mandelas Memorial. On the the shows producers put up a window of himself mocking the fake sign language. Now the today show is getting grief over the bit
I also do not understand why the President would take a "Selfie" at the Funeral. You are the leader of the free world at a funeral for a major world leader. You are suppose to leave these kind of dumb mistakes to the VP. Click on the "Selfie" to read the story from fox news.

Oh, I almost forgot:
Is the building in the water NW of the island an underwater ruin or is there a same-size island under it? And while I'm at it, what is the potato in the water to the east of that by the little tower?
(ugh, my login timed out, so sorry if this is a re-post)
I've been working on this map, but I've run into a decision point, so I figured I'd stop and ask a few questions:
Would you like the mountains to be drawn in like in the original, or represented by shaded areas (like in the goal picture), or like real mountains from above?
Also, would you like me to just trace and pretty up your original location markers, or draw new ones? And, do you want the markers in the same scale? The new map is 10.5"wide and 8" tall (for printer margins) at 300 dpi.
If you would rather have new drawings, please post the picture again with labels typed in next to each one. I won't include the labels, but it's easier than a key in this case.
Oh, I almost forgot:
Is the building in the water NW of the island an underwater ruin or is there a same-size island under it? And while I'm at it, what is the potato in the water to the east of that by the little tower?
Just wanted to say these posts just about made my day, and I was having a pretty bad day too lol Good to know somoene has accepted this Now, in response to your questions.
1. I would like the mountains looking like real mountains since they're an actual location you can go to. However, there should be only one mountain range, the one right below that huge brown splotch.
2. I think drawing new ones would be better, because the things I put on my rough draft map were just representations, not what they should actually be. But the size of your paper you are drawing on should be just fine (and yes, if you can, markers should be around the same scale). As for a new map, I'll put numbers next to each location and then put a description for that number under to give you more ideas on what it should resemble. I'll edit the topic in a couple minutes.
3. The building underwater is an underwater city and the faded thing to the east of that is an underwater cave.
EDIT: Ok, the topic has been updated appropriately.

Thanks for the answers there. I'll finish a rough draft this weekend and we can work out the kinks after that. (Family is in town, or I'd be quicker.)
Thanks that's actually pretty fast, so great And if you would rather not speak here you can also email me at email@example.com
Thanks again!
I've edited the original post and I'm restarting this topic as the original taker of this request can longer continue working on this. Thanks to anyone who decides to take this
This looks amazing! WOW! I know there is more to add but so far this is looking really nice! I'll change the thread title, thank you so much for accepting! By the way, if you'd like to email me it's email@example.com
Thnak again!
Are the trees OK? I kind of half-assed them and was thinking I should probably do them over at some point, but this was just to get the forests down so I had an idea of where stuff was.
Do you want more of a pen-and-ink LOTR-type map like the Final Fantasy one you posted, or something a little more satellite-image-looking? Could go either way at this point, but I was keying off the second thumbnail image in your original post.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers signed import linebacker Doug Hogue on Friday.
Hogue was most recently with the Carolina Panthers of the NFL, where he spent part of the 2012 season and the preseason of 2013. In 2012, he split time between Carolina and Detroit, played in 14 regular season games, totalling 10 special teams tackles, including eight in nine games with Carolina. He was originally drafted in the 5th round, 157th overall by Detroit in 2011, and debuted with the Lions that season, accumulating six special teams tackles (second on the team) in 13 games.
Hogue played college at Syracuse, playing in 45 games with 31 starts. He produced 167 tackles, 26.5 tackles for loss, 12.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, three interceptions and six pass knockdowns, throughout that time. He was a First-team All-Big East Conference selection in 2010 after starting 13 games and finishing second on the team in tackles with 95.

Friday night , the Variety Playhouse hosted a sold out concert by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, a popular five-piece rock band from Waitsfield, Vermont. Blending elements of blues, soul and rock from the 60s and early 70s, they are fronted by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Grace Potter, who plays organ, piano and electric and acoustic guitars. In 2006, the band won the Jammy Award for "Best New Groove." Their song "Apologies" has been featured on the shows All My Children, Kyle XY, One Tree Hill, and Brothers & Sisters, while the song "Falling or Flying" was featured on ER and Grey's Anatomy. Recently, the group appeared on the soundtrack for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland with a live cover version of the Jefferson Airplane classic "White Rabbit".
And while the AJC wasn't there to cover it, AJC's Robb Cohen was handy with his camera. What did you think of the show and what sets Grace Potter and the Nocturnals apart from other bands?

I was there with my camera, too! Other side, though. The show was amazing but I was completely disappointed that she left everyone hanging after the show. She wasn't too cool for a meet & greet in 2008 =/

Dang, I didn't know she/they was in concert. I have only seen her vids on Youtube. They are awesome. One of my fav's is their version of Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley.
I'm bummed.

Although a huge fan, I was disappointed…the sound production was beyond BAD! The sound was overdriven and the reverb was too high, rendering much of the lyrics unintelligible. Took some friends to introduce them to Grace, and they were not impressed, due to sound quaility.

Drove all the way from Rome to see GPN and were not disappointed! She put her all into every song and even came back for a 45 minute encore!!! She left it all on stage and showed a real appreciation for her fans. Highlights included covers of Blondie's "Heart of Glass" and Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" along with her songs, "Paris," "One Short Night," and the show stopping "Nothing but the Water." Check her out on Jimmy Kimmel & Jay Leno this coming week. We will see her every time she comes to town!

Katy Perry Banned from 'Sesame Street'
Katy Perry routinely makes headlines for her outrageous outfits ... and her appearance on "Sesame Street" was no different.
Perry wore a cleavage-baring dress in her cameo with Elmo, and now "Sesame Street" execs say they're not going to air the segment, due to the overwhelming disapproval of parents.
Here's their statement: "In light of the feedback we've received on the Katy Perry music video, which was released on YouTube only, we have decided we will not air the segment on the television broadcast of 'Sesame Street,' which is aimed at preschoolers. Katy Perry fans will still be able to view the video on YouTube."
Do you think the look is too scandalous for your kid to see ... or is this much ado about nothing?
I was more offended by the fact that I got better facial expressions from the Muppet and she couldn't even lip sink to her own song.
^^^^It is not possible for me to like the above comment enough. Also, it's really not a big deal, and I don't understand why everyone is having a collective heart attack over it.
Thank you Robin and Erika. Why is it even an issue?
Because alot of people are prudes and uptight about the human body nowadays. America is the only country obsessed with sex and really the only country to see something perverted in any little thing.
I don't see anything wrong with it. Preschoolers won't be looking at her cleavage and thinking "Mmm future yummy mummy". They're watching Elmo. They really don't give a crap about the human characters.
Really, teaching your children to be ashamed of their bodies is a huge mistake. They should be taught your private parts are private, etc.
Just checked out the video. It's way cute. My 3 year old loves this song anyways, he'll be psyched to see this.
True…the kids that watch it wont be looking at that anyway. However, knowing it is a kid show she COULD have dressed more kid friendly. (think school dress code appropriate) Either way I think it is getting attention and that is what she would want so does it matter?
If parents let their kids watch DWTS or even Ice Skating they are exposing them to much skimpier clothes.
My 2 year old loved the clip and was up dancing, not paying attention to what she was wearing.
BTW I've seen much worse at my local grocery store!
Parents today are such weenies.
Thanks to all the hypocritical prudes any little thing in this country turns into a witch hunt. I think that to some of these hypocritical prudes, giving birth is pedophilia because a child is touching your vagina and they think that it's disgusting and perverted. But everybody knows that some people will react that way to any little thing such as exposed skin, or a little cleavage, or ANY sexual connotation. Everybody knows these people are hiding their true colors. These are people that get excited at exposed cleavage, naked flesh etc. It's likely that they are supressed pedophiles and feel extreme guilt over it so they are "the first" to condemn any little thing. That way, they can try to convince temselves that they are "normal."
Well written. I will certainly share this post with my colleagues. Thanks for the 411.

Suppose someone gives you the chemical formula of a substance, such as
|image0| and asks you the color this substance is expected to have. Is it possible to give an answer? In most cases, you may have an educated guess, but an accurate prediction is far from trivial: the color of a substance is decided at various levels, from the basic molecular level up to the macroscopic structure.
The first level: the molecule by itself
The most "trivial" level is the molecule by itself, and it is decided by the elements it is made of, its geometric structure (the position of the atoms), and their charges. These parameters have a key impact on how its electrons are distributed in space and how this distribution changes when light enters the scene, a phenomenon which is strongly related to light adsorption and thus to color.
When it comes to perception of visible light, white light is a mixture of all the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation from ~700 nanometers to ~400 nanometers. These wavelengths are perceived by our eyes (and brains) as colors, with the longer value of 700 nanometers being almost infrared and the shorter 400 nanometers being almost ultraviolet.
In a more simplified rewording, white light is a mixture of all the colors of the rainbow, spanning from red to violet passing through yellow, green, blue etc. as beautifully shown by this prism
When you send some white light on the molecule you basically provide all the colors. The electronic setup of the molecule is such that it "prefers" specific light wavelengths (hence, specific light colors), and this preference results in an adsorption. This is due to the light promoting an "electronic transition" between a ground state and an excited state: electronic distribution is rearranged due to the interaction between electrons and the electromagnetic radiation. A simplified vision of this event is the electron "jumping" to a higher, excited level, but in reality, it is the electronic cloud that changes.
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="200" caption="Transition to a ground (E1) to an excited state (E2) due to adsorption of an incoming photon of light (hv)"]`|image3| <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:AtomicLineAb.png>`_[/caption]
The accumulated energy is then "quenched" (dispersed) as heat. As a consequence, the molecule removes some colors from the white light, leaving others unscathed, and the resulting color we see is the complementary one. If the molecule absorb blue, you get red. If it absorb yellow, you get violet. Absorption in general is not an "all-or-nothing". The intensity of absorption at each wavelength depends on many factors, producing what is called an absorption spectrum, which is unique and characteristic of every molecule or atom. The color of the substance is the complementary result of this spectrum. The uniqueness of the spectrum allows us to infer the composition of our Sun, of distant stars and planets, through what were commonly known as Fraunhofer lines
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Fraunhofer lines are absorption lines of atoms in the Sun atmosphere. Some absorption is also performed by Earth atmosphere. They act as fingerprints for a given atomic species."]`|image4| <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fraunhofer_lines.svg>`_[/caption]
Electronic transitions, however, are not the only responsible for absorbing light. A molecule can also absorb light by excitation of rotations and vibrations (meaning that the molecule spins faster, or vibrates more). One case is water. Water appears as transparent, but in reality it's slightly blue. The reason is that some wavelengths in the red make it vibrate more (to be exact, water absorbs in the infrared, which would not make a difference to our eyes, but this absorption has a so-called "overtone" which is in the visible red). As a result, a minimal amount of red is subtracted from white light and water ends up being slightly blue.
Can we predict this information? Yes, we totally can, with relatively good, but not perfect accuracy. There are many different programs capable of obtaining this information: the wavelengths where absorptions occur, vibrations, and other parameters that are important to decide the final spectrum. For atoms and small molecules, accuracy is very good, but as the molecule size increases, predictions require larger and larger computing power. For this reasons, quantum chemistry method developers daily create new smart approximations, able to deliver a very accurate result for a reduced computational cost. In any case, the required input is just the geometric position (xyz coordinates) of the atoms, their atomic numbers and masses, and the net charge.
The second level: molecular interactions and reactions
Molecules are generally not alone. They can come close, and eventually have other molecules around, either of the same species, or of other species, such as those of a solvent: from simple water, alcohol or acetone, to complex cell environment. There are no reactions involved, just the proximity of other molecules, with their protons and electrons. These partners alters the electronic setup of the molecule, promoting a slight variation of the electronic and vibrational behavior. Absorption, and thus the color, is consequently changed. In general, this change is a shift of the original spectrum either towards higher wavelengths (bathochromic shift) or shorter ones (hypsochromic shift).
Then you have anything that can change the structure of the molecule through chemical reaction. Take tea, put some lemon into it, and its color becomes lighter. The reason is that with lemon you are increasing the acidity of the water, which means a higher concentration of charged hydrogen ions (H+). The higher concentration of hydrogen ions push Thearubigins, a class of colored substances found in fermented tea, into a form with the ion attached, which creates a change in the molecular electronic distribution, which in turns changes the absorption and thus the color. For some substances, this effect can be dramatic: from blue to red, from transparent to purple, from yellow to blue. These are the so-called pH indicators
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="250" caption="Bromothymol blue at acid, neutral and alcaline solution (left to right)."]`|image5| <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bromothymol_blue_colors.jpg>`_[/caption]
These effects may technically be predictable, but they require to consider a complex system of interacting species, with different chemical exchanges, short and long range interactions of charges and so on. This may be very difficult, if not impossible to perform with today's methods and computational power, although approximations exist to work around the heavy computational weight and provide reasonable results.
The third level: crystal and impurities
A crystal is a solid where the constituent molecules or ions are disposed in space with a well defined order. For any given substance, the ordering of its atoms or molecules in space is not necessarily unique, a phenomenon known as polymorphism. Depending on the packing, different properties arise, and different colors are the result. Diamond is transparent, graphite is black, and black is also C60 fullerene, but they are all made of the same element: carbon.`|Diamond and graphite| <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Diamond_and_graphite2.jpg>`_
For another example, take gold. You may say that it has gold color, but if you take a small cluster (say, 100 atoms) of gold, what you see is red, not gold-colored.
When you have atoms or molecules ordered in a crystalline structure, the result can absorb light by virtue of this ordered structure. Note that this effect is complementary to the initial absorption characteristics of the molecule or atom taken by itself. For example, one single atom of carbon may absorb close to nothing in the visible, but due to the highly ordered crystalline structure, the macroscopic block of graphite you hold in your hands absorbs light, most of it, and thus is black. A similar effect occurs with any pigment having crystalline structures influencing the color. At the quantum level, the effect just presented is related to band structure and Bloch wavefunctions. The same facts also explains semiconductors and conductivity of metals.
These effects are relatively predictable. A large number of computational software deals with periodic structures in a very efficient way, providing spectroscopic information about the properties of both atomic and molecular crystals.
As an additional twist, crystals can have defects, such as imperfect packing or impurities of foreign elements into the periodic structure. The resulting effect is beautifully shown in diamonds, for example in the Aurora Pyramid of Hope
and in Aluminium oxide: pure, it is colorless. Add some chromium, iron vanadium and titanium and it may become ruby
or sapphire, which is blue, pink, yellow, orange, purple or green, depending on the crystal structure, and the relative quantities of these impurities.
These effects are generally very hard to compute, as they may require statistically large ensembles of atoms. I am not aware of any computational techniques on this regard.
The fourth level: macroscopic properties
Finally you have how the substance is structured at the macroscopic level. Take a smooth platinum electrode: it is platinum color. Make it sponge-like (by making very tiny bubbles and pits) to increase the surface area and it appears black as coal. The reason is that light is scattered and absorbed completely, leading to a black color.
This opens to many additional effects concerning matter-light interaction. What is the color of a CD ? Is it silver ? Is it "rainbow" ? What about the color of a oil slick on the road in a rainy day ? What about the color of a Tiger's eye, or of an opal
And what about blue eyes, and the blue color of a spoon of flour dispersed in water ? Both are due to Tyndall scattering. There is no blue pigment in blue eyes, nor in flour, but the scattering of light is frequency dependent, reflecting blue and transmitting red, leading to a blue color.
As you see, color is a very particular property, and while you may have an educated guess from quantum mechanics techniques, it's not always easy to infer the color of a substance. This is just the tip of the iceberg. You have many other phenomena (such as how much light penetrates into the substance, or which macroscopic imperfections are present) which affects both the color and the reflective properties of a substance. Ice is transparent, but if it's full of bubbles it is white. Plastic looks like plastic, and metal looks like metal, depending on how light is scattered and absorbed, which then changes the way it is reflected back to the viewer. In addition, this does not only affects color, but also the general material texture.
What about the opening molecule ?
The opening molecule is Indigo, a natural dye found in some plants. Today, it is synthetically produced in large quantities. It is commonly used to dye blue jeans.
