How We and TV Make Touchy Referees
Imagine the whole realm of sports is blazing arms to prevent concussions, then imagine you are a referee for an important, televised NCAA Division 1 men's playoff lacrosse game who is trying to their job, in front of thousands upon thousands of fans, coaches who know how to work the former statement to their benefit, and lacrosse analysts of all levels looking for falsities and inconsistencies in what you do…

Details of a Stringing Workshop
Every player will leave with a strung lacrosse head, the knowledge to tweak that pocket and to string a pocket from scratch. Throughout the entire workshop, students will have access to a number of stringers, young and old, that will be able to assist them and give some personal insight into what they like and why….click on through for more details.
Max Seibald speaks…
…about how Zen, Lacrosse and the Art of Stringing will make you a "whole lot better lacrosse player."
Create more, and better.
You ultimately win the game when your creations cannot be effectively reacted to; if you're always creating, you'll have the opposing team reacting more than creating for themselves.

Chapter 1 / Uploading more tonight!
It was a pretty afternoon in Huntington Beach. Waves were crashing against the shore, the sun showing off its beauty, and the water as beautiful and welcoming as always. Beachgoers were scattered around laying lethargically upon there towels meanwhile surfers were riding the waves. Out of all places this is were any of the Lynches would rather be than where they were now. Being stuck at home was not part of the gameplan.
"But Dad! I promised Mercedes I'd meet her at the beach! I can't just not show up!" Riker complained. Even though he was a grown man, being famous came with his cons. For example, not being to go where you want because of an interview for a magazine.
Mark stood up, "Riker, for the last time. You can not go. But if you want you can invite Mercedes over instead and take her to the interview. But you, are not allowed to leave this house, only if I say so, understood?"
Riker grumbed to himself, saying how he was an adult and he shouldn't let his dad boss him around. But he had to go with his dads rules and text Mercedes the change of plans. He was mad that he was unable to go to the beach and surf with his girlfriend but this has to be done or the Warblers wouldn't be the Warblers without him.
"So if the square root of nine is three how do you find the variable 'a'?" Lectured Ms. Husband to her class filled with geometry students. She spotted a straggler who was looking outside the window and gave a small smirk. She struted up to the pupil's desk and slammed her Expo marker on the desk. Everyone in the class turned around.
"Ryland Lynch, you need to get a job," Turning on her heels and walking away as she continued lecturing. He knew the answer just as much as his other classmates did: He needed to get a job so he could pay attention. He knew he should pay attention but the though of his girlfriend finally coming home tonight after not seeing her all winter break were consuming his thoughts. And it was his thought that they didn't see each other was because he was touring with his family and she decided to go visit family for Christmas. But Ryland had not daydreamed what was coming ahead.
Rocky was lounging in his room thinking about the concert he preformed in New Jersey. Nicole. That was her name. At least that's what he thinks it was. A piece of paper with her number on it has been burning a hole through his pants because he wanted to call her but this was a special case. He had never felt so anxious and flustered to call a girl. For the past week he had been planning out what to say in every situation. He got up and subtly closed the door so no one would barge into his room while he was calling her. He walked over to the desk where had last seen the paper.
He opened the box he had put the paper in so he wouldn't lose it, "Shoot." The box was empty.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I love the size and quality of this card! The best part of ordering was the customer service! I wanted to make a small adjustment to the design and it was a piece of cake!"
"We took a picture with a "thank you" note on our wedding day. I needed a thank you card that didn't say thank you on it so this option was perfect. Simple, elegant and unique since you can get very creative whit it. The paper is good quality and the print was pretty good! I do recommend this card! We got lots of compliments on it!"
"I was really happy with the thank you card. I customised the colour of the banner and it came out very well. Service was good and I received the cards pretty quickly. The only thing I would have prefered was to be able to have a message printed in the inside of the card.I would definitely recommend to a friend."
"I ordered this product with a custom color band in orange (since our wedding colors were orange and yellow). Wedding Paper Divas had my proof ready for review in two days! I approved the proof and had my Thank You cards within four days! I LOVE Wedding Paper Divas and ordered ALL of my wedding stationery through them...what wonderful customer service! The Thank You cards were on a nice, heavy paper stock...the photo quality was amazing! Our guests just loved that we added a personal touch to our Thank You cards... I would highly recommend this product!!"
"Our thank you cards turned out perfectly! We custom picked our banner colour...charcoal...which looked amazing against our night time, beach wedding pictures. The cards are matte finish and they look beautiful... glossy pictures = fingerprints. We ordered them April 16 and they were shipped to Canada and in my hands on April 19. Cannot say enough good things! Our guests are going to love them! We love them!"

This is a picture of me and my two gorgeous best friends. Clearly, we all have very different body types, and you know what? None of us is healthier, prettier or happier than the others because of it.
That's me on the left. I'm short, super petite, and have about as much muscle mass as a blob of gelatin. Despite being naturally thin, I have always been far from in shape. Not even a month ago, running two minutes at a time was a struggle—now I can run without stopping for more than a half hour.
Felicia, in the center, is probably the most active girl I know. The opposite of me, she's one of those people that can build muscle just by looking in the direction of a dumbbell. She loves running like I do, and we've discussed running a 5k. She's a big yoga enthusiast and has tried all sorts of different forms that I can't pronounce, and she's found free community yoga classes for us to attend together. Also, she has abs of steel, seriously. She's helping me with my ab workouts. She's also recently lost over 60 lbs through her active lifestyle and healthy diet.
That's my friend Maddy on the right. She's curvy and feminine, but she's a beast in the gym. Strength training is her thing. She could probably bench press two of me. Not only is she incredibly strong, she's insanely flexible and an avid pole dancer. We're taking classes together even though she can spin circles around me on that damn pole, and look gorgeous while she does it.
My friends inspire me so much, and remind me that diversity is lovely. You don't have to be skinny to be beautiful and confident, nor do you have to look like girls in Nike ads to be strong and fit. You don't need to weigh a certain number, fit into a certain size, or have a certain appearance to be confident, healthy, or happy. I think that my friends prove that to me.
I'll never be long and willowy like a supermodel, or well-built like all those fitspo girls. I'll never look like either of my friends, and they'll never look like me. And that's ok, because fitness is about being the best you can be, not comparing yourself to others.
Embrace what you have, and help others embrace what they have. Fitness is funner with friends. Get them involved. Take a class, go for a walk, make a healthy dinner together. You'll always have support and a fun activity to bond over.
this is one of the best things i've read on tumblr. Friends come in all different shapes, colors and sizes. May your friendships be everlasting
I just can't NOT reblog this. Everyone should read it.
This was absolutely amazing, well worth the time to read, wow. Beautiful.

Here's to a week for the unconventional before and after photos, National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. For most of my life, I've been heavier, and consequently shamed and belittled for my weight. When I started college, however, I weighed 103 pounds, was eating 400-600 calories a day, doing about 90 minutes of cardio daily, and most importantly, I was anorexic. I was 15 pounds underweight, but no one thought to say anything because they were too busy applauding me for my unnatural weight loss. This is me calling them out. This is my telling them they were wrong. This is me thanking my real life and tumblr friends for everything they done to get me to the wonderful place I am today. So fuck you traditional pictures of "healthy", I may be fat, but I beat my eating disorder.

Speaking of different body shapes. These are all basically peak human bodies.
How come 99% of them don't conform to what the entertainment industry tells us is the perfect body?
Time to bring back this body reference sheet!
One of the better body references I've ever seen. All of these people are ridiculously fit, operating in the top echelons of their sports world-wide. But there's a vast array of body types, and types of fitness.
I know this is off point, but Table Tennis dude is my favorite.
Stephen nailed it last night. The sexism in this debate from Fox and others is unacceptable, especially in the light that women get paid less than men but still have to pay more for health insurance
(Source: drunkonstephen, via eemersonm)
But then, the truth was never really the point. Thin women don't tell their fat friends 'You're not fat' because they're confused about the dictionary definition of the word, or their eyes are broken, or they were raised on planets where size 24 is the average for women. They don't say it because it's the truth. They say it because fat does not mean just fat in this culture. It can also mean any or all of the following:
Socially inept
Just plain icky
So when they say 'You're not fat,' what they really mean is 'You're not a dozen nasty things I associate with the word fat.' The size of your body is not what's in question; a tape measure or a mirror could solve that dispute. What's in question is your goodness, your lovability, your intelligence, your kindness, your attractiveness. And your friends, not surprisingly, are inclined to believe you get high marks in all those categories. Ergo, you couldn't possibly be fat.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- The New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport is the home of a local traveling oral history project known as the Timeless Wings & Wheels Museum.
"Our dream is to someday have a museum to showcase the veteran's history, our library, the uniforms and artifacts and the video histories," said Claudia Putney, administrator.
"We also want to educate the public and connect with the veterans of any war, not just World War II," said Carole Norville, museum director. "We also help the veterans, offering aid where we can. We are a family here."
Ms. Norville conceived Timeless Wings & Wheels several years ago when she was teaching school. She felt the children in her classrooms could benefit from talking to war veterans and learning their history. As the group grew from a social club into a close-knit community, she discovered the veterans were also benefiting from sharing their stories.
"Many of them have told me that it helps to talk about their experiences, especially to peers that have shared similar situations," Ms. Norville said. "It's a healing process for them as much as it is a learning process for the public."
She takes the veterans and some artifacts from WWII around to various schools to give the kids a chance to talk to the vets to gain a better understanding of what the men and women went through during the war.
Another volunteer, Alexa DeCristofaro is recording the stories of the veterans on video to add to the group's library of books, photos, uniforms and other historical artifacts. A student intern, Ms. DeCristofaro is the group's archivist and secretary. They hope to capture each local veteran's story on video so their experiences can be passed down to future generations.
Ms. Norville and Ms. Putney are working with the city to create a museum, but they are taking it slowly. "We have to do the right steps in the right order," Ms. Norville said. "We want to do this right and work with the city."
Until the details are worked out, the bulk of the items donated to the group has been cataloged and is in storage.
In the meantime, the group meets every Wednesday morning at BiPlane FunFlights hangar at 2096 Aero Circle for coffee and socializing. "We have been so lucky to have Mr. Smyser of BiPlane FunFlights sponsor us," Ms. Norville said.
The display cases they purchased from the local Kmart when it went out of business stand mostly empty in the corner of the hangar until they have a place to call home. The rest of the hangar houses WWII era stick and rudder trainers Mr. Smyser owns. "The guys love coming here on Wednesdays to see Mr. Smyser's World War II era planes."
They also have a fundraising breakfast once a month at Air Gate hangar of 2022 Aero Circle at the New Smyrna airport. "Frank Norman at Air Gate has been great and very generous to us as is their staff," Ms. Norville said. "They offer up their hangar every month and the staff even helps us cook the food. They are all volunteers and do it because we have become like a family."
Air Gate sponsors Timeless Wings & Wheels by donating hangar space for the meals and providing some of the food.
"We have a sit-down dinner fundraiser coming up on May 4 and it is open to the public as are the monthly breakfasts," Ms. Putney said.
People who attend will be able to sit down with WWII veterans and get to know them, hear their stories and get a good meal for a nominal donation to the traveling history project. Anyone interested in attending the dinner can call (386) 314-9196 and leave a message to make a reservation. The next breakfast will be from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday, April 13, but starting in May the breakfasts will be on third Saturdays. "We moved it because there will be more people flying into the airport on the third Saturdays," Ms. Norville said.
In May, the breakfasts will be offered for a $6 donation and normally include pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage and coffee. Doughnuts or cinnamon rolls also are often on the menu. Ms. Norville encourages people to attend and sit down with the vets and get to know them.
One of those veterans is Jack Northrup, 90, who has donated several items to the group, including a leather bomber jacket on which he painted three WWII bombers and all the vets in the group signed. "This is going to become our logo," Ms. Norville said smiling.
Another 90-year-old vet, Ed Safford, donated the leather jacket he was wearing when he jumped out of a burning B-17 bomber that bears some of the scorch marks. He also donated a piece of B-17 nose art from a plane he and his buddies dubbed "The General Sherman," because it flew like a tank.
During the school visits, Ms. Norville "tries to get kids to understand that the old person who lives next to you is not just an old person -- they have great experiences to share." Her goal is to engage younger people and connect them with the veterans so the history and knowledge can be passed on to the next generation and is not lost. "It is amazing to see the kid's faces when they truly get what the vets are talking about."
She is working on a master's degree in counseling so she is better able to assist the veterans and help them work through the traumatic experiences in their past. "It's all about the vets," Ms. Norville said.
"We would like to engage all the war veterans from all the wars including the Korean War, Vietnam and more recent wars like Afghanistan," Ms. Putney said. "They are all welcome here."
Ms. Putney also stressed that Timeless Wheels & Wings people have gotten so close they depend on each other, just like a family and care about one another. She said they help them get to doctor's appointments and check on them to make sure they are doing OK and help them work through difficult times, such as a death in the family. When she had a tragedy in her own family, she said, the guys pitched in and performed her duties with Timeless Wings so she could go home to New Hampshire.
"We are here to assist them as much as we can," Ms. Norville said. We would really like to connect with more veterans. We are here for them."
For more information or to make a donation to Timeless Wings & Wheels, call (386) 314-4499 or visit http://timelesswingsandwheels.com.

The economics of the informal sector: a simple model and some empirical evidence from Latin America
AbstractThe author presents the view that informal economies arise when governments impose excessive taxes and regulations that they are unable to enforce. The author studies the determinants and effects of the informal sector using an endogenous growth model whose production technology depends essentially on congestable public services. In this model, changes (in both policy parameters and the quality of government institutions) that promote an increase in the relative size of the informal economy will also generate areduction in the rate of economic growth. Using data from Latin American countries in the early 1990's, the author tests some of the model's implications and estimates the informal sector's size in these countries --identifying the size of the informal sector to latent variables for which multiple causes and indicators exist. The results suggest that: the size of the informal sector depends positively on proxies for tax burden and restrictions on the labor market; it depends negatively on a proxy for the quality of government institutions; and an increase in the size of the informal sector hurts growth by reducing the availability of public services for everyone in the economy, and by increasing the number of activities that use some existing pubic services less efficiently or not at all.

George Nelson began his design for what became the Swag Leg Group with the simple desire to create furniture with a sculptured leg. Beyond beauty, he sought practicality, insisting that the legs be made of metal, machine formed and pre-finished. The Nelson Swag Leg Group is a revival of an historic collection by George Nelson. Introduced in 1958, the group's evocative pieces have a look, scale, and function that are simply right for today. These classic, sculpted designs can be used individually or together in the home or office, from meeting spaces to offices and dining areas.

Five Factors of Success
What is the difference between a Super Hero and an Action Hero? Each does remarkable things. One might even go so far as to say that they each create a "super" result. Each has a desired goal in mind; the only real difference is how they get the job done. So let's set up a classic adventure scenario and look at the methods each uses to achieve their goals.
Grand Slam Healing ~ by Sandi Evans
The thing about the chaos of healing is how tricky it is. It masquerades as real stuff. I think of myself as pretty savvy and sophisticated when it comes to the crisis of "healing", "growing", learning", whatever word you want to use to describe that really uncomfortable and painful jump into the unknown of being a better person. So I was pretty surprised when after four days of looking at the facts and considering all aspects ….."I got nuthin". "Maybe this time all the ground clutter is real?!" That aforementioned thought led me to reconsider some of my core beliefs. Maybe I needed to change some things…..

What is the Harmony Hut?
The Hut has a great location, a great view, nice neighbors, and one of the best front porches in the world.
During the warm weather months, this front porch is frequently the site of planned and impromptu parties which are imaginatively
known as "Porch Parties". The usual attendees mostly consist of near neighbors and whitewater paddlers, who find that
the porch does double duty as party venue and drying rack. Telling them that I have a clothesline does no good whatsoever.

The economy is really bad and formula is really expensive. But as tempting as it might be, dietitians and health care professionals give this warning loud and clear: Do not water down baby formula to make it stretch. Doing so could cause serious illness and even death in babies.
A 23-year-old Florida mother diluted her 5-month-old baby's formula with water and he almost died. When she realized he wasn't breathing she performed CPR and he was rushed to the hospital. He was diagnosed with water intoxication and put on a ventilator. He did recover, but how scary is that?
What happens when you add too much water to formula? According to Lillian Beard, a Maryland pediatrician, who is also medical adviser and consultant to the International Formula Council, "The water will occupy the space in the stomach that the milk or infant formula should be occupying. When there is too much water, it can cause a dilution of the body chemistry and electrolytes. The brain actually needs everything in really perfect balance. Too much water can cause seizures that can result in death."
Baby formula manufacturers provide a careful balance of vitamins and nutrients for infants when the formula is mixed with the correct amount of water. And you want to make sure your baby is getting everything he needs.
If you find yourself in an economic pinch:
1. Ask your pediatrician about the possibility of getting free samples of infant formula to tide you over.
2. Call the formula manufacturer. Dial the 800-number on the back of the can to ask about getting help. Maybe they'll send samples or coupons.
3. Choose less-expensive store brands over popular name-brand formulas. They're all FDA-approved and include the same ingredients.
What are you doing to stretch your dollars these days?
I add a half of a can of whole milk and a another half of a can of water to my sons milk. But i also make 2 cans of baby milk at a time cuz doing it that way he uses it in less than 48 hours.
Good Lord.. are we still talking about this?
I get WIC and we get the Enfamil Lipil in the yellow can. But they only give enough to supplement we still have to buy some. Does anyone know if I would be able to give him store brand when I have to buy it?
Natandnatebsmom, ask your pediatrician what store brands they know of are the equivilant to the enfamil lipil. If they can't tell you, go to the store and compare ingredients. Buy a small can and see how your son does. When my daughter was on formula we often ran out and so if I really needed to I would use some of the saved samples we got from the hospital. Some worked wll, some didn't. It's trial and error.
But before a baby is 1 year, there isn't too much you can do when you run out. When we would get low, I would save formula for when DD really needed it. I'd fix her water if she were just thirsty or wanted to suck. Often times just before her nap time, it would only take a little to get her to sleep.
If you have an older baby who isn't completely relying on formula it gets easier. Since they can have some sort of baby food or solids the hunger is actually taken care of and bottles aren't such a necessity.
When you make formula, make it EXACTLY the way it says on the container. DO not do ANYTHING else unless your doctor tells you to. Too much powder can choke your baby and dehydrate them. Too little can kill them from deficiencies.
If you're going to choose formula, choose to at least make it right.
What am I doing to stretch dollars? I breastfeed.
Also, if you get food stamps, it covers baby formula.
For me what I do and always do is the Walmart I go to I always bought the other expensive brand and I was doing that up to a few months ago but now I buy the ready made baby formula where you add the water now you don't need to much water. But with one can it makes 2 bottles. I now buy the store brand that is called Parent's Choice it is a Canadian company. I always buy that and it usually last two weeks with the case of 12. So I get 2 bottles ready for him and if there is leftover I would pour the rest into a small baby bottle and if it is tiny bit I throw it out. I go for everything Parent's Choice it is better, cheaper and affordable.
I never had to worry about how to afford my baby's formula because he was exclusively breastfed. Moms who don't have much money to spare should DEFINITELY breastfeed. Not only is it free and always the right mixture and temperature, but breastfeeding supports a baby's immune system, resulting in fewer expensive doctors visits.
OK, I'm sorry, but that kind of thing just yells "DUH!" for me.
I think it would be obvious that when you water down formula, you're taking away nutrional value.
I'm not going to get into the whole 'breast vs. bottle' debate...to each her own. But please, for crying out loud, mix the formula like the container says.

Opening Reception Thursday December 6th, 7 - 10 pm
Curated by Molly Georgetta
We've all heard tell of the December 21st, 2012 end of the Mayan calendar and what that could possibly mean for the world. Theories abound, from the extreme to the mundane, the dark and heavy to the light hearted.
This December, Compound Gallery presents End of the World, a show that explores what one's imagination can conjure when faced with a possible end, or change, to the world they know.
Please join us for the opening reception on the first Thursday of December from 7 to 10 pm.
Andie Mazorol and Tynan Kerr are collaborative painters based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, who began working together years ago while sharing studio space. Their paintings utilize a collage approach, creating flat landscapes populated by figures with exaggerated characteristics and shifting identities. In their work, bodies stand as shells of recognizable figures or they vanish within a patterned facade, creating environments unimaginable to either author individually.
Amanda James is a printmaker and illustrator currently based out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Her work is a product of listening to loud and heavy music, telling bad jokes and compulsively buying books and toys that are meant for children. She loves to draw and print things that make people smile, which usually results in friendly, brightly colored creatures partaking in ridiculous activities. She received her BS in Drawing and Printmaking from Portland State University in 2011 and is currently pursuing her MFA in Printmaking from Louisiana State University.
Brendan Monroe was born and raised in Southern California and received his BFA from Art Center College of Design. He has exhibited internationally at galleries such as Richard Heller in Los Angeles, Galerie LJ in Paris and Faye Fleming in Geneva. Through paintings and sculptures, Monroe tells a story of a world filled with unique personalities and imaginary organisms. Monroe cultivates a taste for scientific challenges, relationships to math, the properties in physics, and the surreal.
Clare Rosean is an artist/illustrator based in Chicago, where she was born and raised. One word to describe her art might be traumwerk. She received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2010, and MFA from the University of Chicago in 2012.
David M. Cook was born in Louisville, Kentucky in the year of 1972. He's a self taught color-blind artist, primarily an illustrator
Gala Bent is a drawing-centric painter, working most often on paper, but also on walls in site-specific spaces and in animation. In her gouache-colored drawings, one thing becomes another, and borders are uncertain. The result is a fertile, cataclysmic landscape where constructed elements and organic patterns of flow both collide and mesh, often angling toward abstraction. Her most recent series, O Mountain, takes the singular form of a mountain as its focus. These forms become sentient characters, heaving their masses into sighs and tears. Gala was born near Detroit, raised in Northern Indiana, schooled in Buffalo, and now lives in Seattle with her husband, fellow artist Zack Bent, and three young sons. Upcoming exhibitions include G.Gibson Gallery (Seattle) and Ampersand International (San Francisco). Gala was selected to be a Jordan Schnitzer Printmaking resident this October at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology in Oregon. See and read more at www.ggibsongallery.com
Jacob Markrof is late-night, sub-level, lurk-fanatic who lives for strange situations. Portland based, Jacob draws most of his influences from the rainy season, where he can pour over books on alchemy, mysticism, ancient cultures, medieval history, cults, conspiracy theory, and Magik. Through his oil paintings he combines his knowledge of these categories into regal medieval-era portraits. Jacob studied traditional animation at the School of Visual Arts in New York and graduated in 2004. It wasn't until the fall of 2010 that he found his passion for oil paintings. Self taught he creates his own form of alchemy by changing canvas, wood, and paint into portals to different dimensions.
Jennifer Parks is a comic artist, illustrator, and Co-member of the Pony Club Gallery. Her world is filled with ghosts, charcoal, and ornamental gatherings. Her work without compromise tells the tale of that world in intensely rendered darkness. Jennifer was most recently featured in the comic anthology Study Group 12 with a tale of spirits that lurk someplace between your dreams and your window.
Joseph McVetty lives and works in Portland, Oregon. The skull masked participants of his drawings act out communal rituals involving new age signifiers aimed at evoking the feelings associated with uniformed homespun cult drop-outs.
Keith was born in 1978 in Tacoma, WA. He went to Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA. He received his BA in Fine Art. He later went to Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, OR. He left a year before completion of his BFA to accept a job at Seattle design firm Ames Bros. He worked there for 2 years. He currently lives in Portland, OR. He spends most of his time painting pictures of animals and people.
Leo Zarosinski is an illustrator and designer in Portland, Oregon. An avid creator, Leo spends frequent hours illustrating, printing, designing and building all sorts of stuff. His illustration work is about breaking down narratives into their most pivotal moments and giving the viewer a glimpse into a larger story
Hailing from the Bay Area, I currently reside in Portland, Oregon, and I hold a BFA in Illustration from Pacific Northwest College of Art. I work as a production assistant for Bent Image Lab creating storyboards, set designs, props, and puppets for stop-motion productions.
Pat Perry is an artist and illustrator who calls Michigan home. The lands of the north, the people he meets, and ordinary Midwestern streets have always moved him. Making drawings each day is his attempt to digest the indegistable; seemingly indescribable life experience, and the ephemeral acquaintances and scenery that is carried along with such encounters, situations and chapters. In between showing his art or working on an assortmant of creative projects, Pat travels quite frequently. Although he is happy to be able to speak and have an audience through his artwork, he does his best everyday to listen and learn from the world he lives in.
Sean Edward Whelan is an Australian artist living and working in Niigata, Japan. Culling inspiration from traditional buildings and architecture, old found objects and religious paraphernalia, Sean creates complex figurative artworks that explore the mysteries and mythologies hiding in present day Japan.
Steve Seeley lives and works in Chicago. He has shown his art throughout the U.S and extensively in the Midwest. His work investigates a world where man, fascinated by outer space, has vacated earth to live in the solitude of space. In his absence, animals begin to fulfill their true destinies.These destinies include, but are not limited to, forming an alliance against man (shall he ever return), developing super hero like powers, and rocking out to heavy metal.

I just finished watching the movie Black Swan.
And I get it's a psychological thriller and everything, but wtf happens at the end? I hate when movies end like that! It's frustrating and I spend the next week trying to figure it out. Was she really dying? Everyone around her saw her bleeding, so that leads me to believe she may have. Cause everything else was her own imagination. I don't know. I want an answer from the director! =/

Another jug with a little more for the tea with this crack.
Another drawing for the last concept I just posted.
I'm not sure for the cork…
Last concept of the series.
The main problem of filter water jug is their current aspect which is not elegant at all.
Indeed the only good aspect is the cost of the water you drink… That's a start but we need more!
The last concept of the series is certainly one of the more elegant of the series. As you can see on the drawing, it fit very well on a table beside a nice wine bottle.
This jug is very particular compare to the classic shape with handle.
The filter is in the jug neck.
The materals used are particular too for a filter jug, bit very classic in the kitchen world. Glass and stainless steel.
It gives a very elegant aspect.
About the use, as the previous concept, the bottom is in glass so you can see the water level.
Today's idea is a little refinement of the one of yesterday.
More colourful, more funny and friendly. This filter jug will gives some joy to this aseptic world.
I'm gonna start a new series for couple of days: Water filter jug.
I' have couples of concepts about it I'd like to share with you all.
The first one is a kitchen water spot with a Kettle & a filter jug.
Filter jug are everywhere but let's be honest, filtering water makes it certainly good to drink. But It also gives a taste to the drinkable water.
So what if we could control that taste by giving a natural lemon or strawberry taste to the water ourself.
Here is a water filter jug that can give "GOOD" taste to the water!

Best Vegetarian Meals for Grilling?
Good Questions
Q: I'm already excited for my Labor Day weekend camping trip and the requisite cookouts.
As a vegetarian and first-time camper, I'm hoping to get some suggestions for dinner items to throw on the grill. (Other than pre-made veggie burgers.) Hopefully some filling items after long days of hiking, kayaking, and other physical activities.
Sent by Sarah
Editor: Sarah, two ideas to start you off:
• Vegetarian Cookout? Try Halloumi! - Grilled cheese is easy and really filling, too.
• Flatbread Stuffed with Curried Potatoes, Spinach, and Chickpeas - This is a little more work, but you could make the bread dough pockets ahead of time.
Readers, what else would you suggest?
Related: No Fake Meat: Vegan Grilling Recipes from Food & Wine
16 Comments
I love the idea of haloumi. In veggie land, eggplant or sweet potato slices; portabello caps (marinated, packed in zipper plastic baggies). Meatless "hobo dinners"--potatoes and other root veggies, seasonings and any other filling that would heat well with the like (maybe some pre-constituted seasoned TVP w. a bit of oil?) packed into a sealed aluminum foil pouch and heated till the potatoes are done.
I just went camping for the first time this weekend! Although I'm no longer a vegetarian, I can give you a few campfire/grill suggestions:
1. Campfire quesadillas! Take a tortilla. Slather it with some beans and cheese. Place another tortilla on top. Cook on top of aluminum foil.
2. Eggs! We shaped foil into small rounds using the base or a wide bottom water bottle. Poured an egg in. Covered it with a leaf to create a pseudo-oven enviroment and had a wonderful sunny side up.
3. You don't have to just throw ON the grill. You can throw some foil-wrapped potatoes INTO the grill. Find a hot spot in the coal/wood but away from fire.
4. I also prepared some tandoori paneer & veggie skewers the day before our trip. But I think that required too much prep work.
5. Our friend brought Texas toast and we cooked it on the grill of the campfire.
I hope this helps & hope you have a better experience that I did. Our camping trip was a wash-out but still enjoyable under a tarp!
Not sure how much extra stuff you'll want to bring, but since we're car campers, I always bring a basic "camp kitchen" of items that makes the cooking part easy and more delicious. I bring a 10 inch beater of a cast iron skillet, a good chopping knife, one of those flexi cutting boards, a spatula, a roll of aluminum foil, can and wine bottle opener and a pincher (tongs). I also bring a mini container with separate places for salt, pepper, olive oil, and a spice that sounds good at the time (frequently curry powder or red pepper flakes). I fight the urge to bring more because I think some of the fun of campfire cooking is in limiting yourself and going simple with the flavors.
Sometimes I bring some food along with instead of buying everything at the town nearest to our camp. If you're camping somewhere with a farmer's market nearby, pick up whatever looks good. You can make foil packets of vegetables and top them with cheese for some protein after your hikes. You can bring along canned beans to bulk up a veggie stir fry. I like to crack eggs ahead of time into a sealed container and you can make a skillet scramble or frittatta. I also like to parboil hard root veg like potatoes, sweets or rutabagas, and then you can finish them off on the grill or smash them into some olive oil in the skillet for crispy edges messy home fries. Wrap a bulb of garlic in foil and put it in the far edge of the coals and you'll have roasted garlic to smear into whatever you grill.
Have a great trip!
Bake corn or potatoes in the coals of the fire (wrapped in foil). You can also do a baked brie (YUM) or cook pasta or a whole bunch of other delicious things!
I know you don't want veggie burgers, but portobello "burgers" are great for grilling. I've been making one recipe from epicurious.com in which you top the grilled portobello caps with smoked gouda and a piquillo pepper / mayonnaise sauce. I also put caramelized onions on, which are also super easy to make on the grill: slice em up thinly as you would for pan cooking, wrap them in an aluminum foil packet, put a few dots of butter on top, and put the packet on the grill for 30 - 40 minutes or until nicely caramelized. I make these almost every time I grill, since I think they go well with just about everything, and it's so easy.
Oops, just re-read this post and saw that it's for camping. So you probably don't want to get that involved. Although you can still do portobellos simply -- just toss with some olive oil and garlic, top with cheese after cooked, and put on a bun.
I don't camp, but I do grill a lot. I tried haloumi and I will say that it is VERY meaty. I found it to be completely gross because of the texture AND the saltiness.
I like to do grilled veggies on skewers and pop them into a pita with some cucumber sauce or feta cheese. It's filling and fresh.
you could also pre-make some bruschetta (yay fresh tomatoes!) and snack on it with bread or tortilla chips.
soups also travel well and are easy to heat in a pan over the fire. I just made an amazing batch of vegetable soup from all the fresh stuff in the garden
This isn't a traditional grill meal, but I made eggplant parm on the grill when I was craving it on a hot day and it was delicious, almost better than my go to version.
as a veggie camper family we have a staple.
veggies cooked on the grill in a foil pouch with veggies and seasonings of your choice (i like to use mr. greeks seasoning with some olive oil, but you can go as simple and oil and S&P). when possible I pre-cut the veggies, but.
if you can boil water you can make some minute rice in the bag which is pretty easy.
heat up beans if you have the capacity and desire.
combine the veggies and rice (and/or beans) in a tortilla to eat like a taco or burrito.
there you go, pretty yummy and fairly easy camping meal. possibly more appropriate for car camping.
This grilled veggie sandwich is one of my favorite meals of all time!
Our go to "nothing in the fridge" meal:
sliced (long ways) zuchinni, asparagus, onions. Put in a gallon zip lock, pour in a bunch (maybe a cup?) of vegi oil, a TON of kosher salt, a lot of pepper, and powdered garlic. It can stay in there for a couple hours or minutes. Swish it up. then Put them on a super hot grill and flip.
Second item: get soyaki from trader joe's or another good teryaki sauce. Slice tofu into 1/2 in to 1 inch slabs. Marinade for at least an hour in the teryaki sauce. Then grill. *if you can't get tofu that isn't sitting in water, then press the tofu between two plates for a couple hours to get all the liquid out first. We love tofu you tofu b/c it isn't all liquid saturated.
Super easy and delicious.
If you're a car camper and take along a cast-iron pan, your choices are limitless.
One of my friends likes to flip the pan over and cook pizzas on the bottom. You can also make pizzas on a grill grate, but definitely read up some tutorials on it before you try it yourself! ;)
Also, never underestimate the yumminess of grilled cheese sandwiches made over a fire.
I just tried grilled halloumi for the first time this summer. Yum, yum, yum. According to my friend in England it is a very popular vegetarian menu item there. However, I'd stick with small doses since it is flavor/salt packed.
If I'm cooking over a grill I tend to go traditional - thick slabs of veg (eggplant, portobello, zucchini, etc) with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. For a protein change why not try grilling up some tempeh. Marinate in soy sauce, spices, and a little liquid smoke to impart a near bacon-y flavor.
If you've got a campfire, though, then a whole new range of opportunities is open from 'grilling' to 'wrapping in foil and throwing in the fire' Lots of great suggestions above.
Friendly reminder, though - Always have some quick snacks ready because it inevitably takes longer to get the grill/fire going on a camping trip than planned. Have fun!!!
Here's a second for baked potatoes with fun toppings that can travel (i.e. canned black beans, sauteed or grilled onions, grilled zucchini).
Or how about Turkish eggplant kebab--marinate eggplant (which travel so well with no refrigeration) in lemon, olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, and garlic. Thread on a skewer with olives and serve on pita.
For breakfast, I like dicing up some garlic and tomatoes into the skillet, then adding an egg and covering. Grill some toast to go with it - delicious!
thanks for the suggestions everyone. you've given me some great ideas! can't wait to give camping a try :)

Romance fiction is the Rodney Dangerfield of the publishing world: It don't get no respect.
This, despite the fact that romance is the most consistently profitable genre in an unsettlingly shaky business. Last year, romance alone contributed more than $1 billion to publishing's diminished coffers. And a growing amount of that income comes from romances written by ethnic writers for ethnic readers.
Romance novels have always been popular with ethnic readers — despite the fact that for the longest time, the heroines on the covers looked nothing like the women avidly consuming them.
"That's why I started writing stories when I was in the eighth grade," says best-selling writer Brenda Jackson. "I wanted heroines who looked like me." Jackson grew up in Florida with a mother and grandmother who loved romance fiction. "I came up with Cinderella and Snow White and all the Disney princesses. Anything that, in the end, my mom or my grandmother would always say, 'And they lived happily ever after.' That stuck with me — and I wanted it for myself, and for my readers."
So Jackson makes sure her books are saturated with black culture and customs. Her heroines and heroes have money (sometimes inherited, often made through hard work), and are connected to their families and communities. And there is lots of sex — although Jackson insists on it being portrayed a certain way.
"I pretty much go into the bedroom," she says firmly. "I don't just close the door and let the reader wonder what's going on. But I do it tastefully." She says she's gotten thank-you notes from grateful husbands who appreciate the source of their wives' newfound inspiration. Jackson's tenure in the industry has garnered her a devoted following — and, this year, Romance Writers of America's Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award, the highest honor the industry can bestow.
"I want young women of all races to see that there can be a happy ending in real life — but you have to work at it. I've been married since I was 19, to my high school sweetheart who is still the man of my dreams," Jackson smiles. She flashes the small gold and diamond going-steady ring her husband of 40 years gave her when she was 15. "I wear it proudly!"
Michelle Monkou is as reserved as Jackson is ebullient. She, too, is a romance writer, and is a past president of Romance Writers of America. There were ethnic writers who broke barriers in the '80s — beginning with Newsweek editor Elsie B. Washington, who penned Entwined Destinies under the name Rosalind Welles. Washington's editor, Vivian Stephens, later created the first ethnic romance line. But Monkou says it was Terry McMillan's How Stella Got Her Groove Back that made mainstream publishers realize black readers would pay handsomely for black love stories.
Stella, Monkou says, "gave mainstream publishers a peek into the appetite of [ethnic] readers, and they got interested and presented imprints for it." And the books have been selling briskly ever since. The advent of e-books has boosted sales even more, Monkou says, because authors have more control over their product.
"You don't have to wait for the validation or confirmation from marketing teams," she explains. Especially when the marketing departments of many mainstream publishers are, essentially, clueless when it comes to positioning ethnic romances with people of color. Which seems economically shortsighted.
"Unfortunately, romance written by people of color has occupied a unique space within the romance genre," says Sarah Wendell, co-founder of the blog Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, an exhaustively thorough and delightfully snippy analysis of romance fiction for both readers and writers. Wendell says that in past years, bookstores often shelved romances by ethnic writers in sections reserved for ethnic subjects. "And romance readers would never leave the romance section to look for, say, African-American romance novels, because "why would it be anywhere else?"
Like Michelle Monkou, Wendell says the Internet is rapidly changing everything, "as more readers discover books online instead of in brick-and-mortar bookstores."
And that's its own kind of Happily Ever After (or HEA, as it's known in the trade) for the publishing industry. America's becoming more diverse every day, which means the future for ethnic romances looks pretty rosy.

Will Kalydeco Push Vertex Higher?
Jordo is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: VRTX) announced that Health Canada has approved Kalydeco (ivacaftor), the first medicine to treat the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis (CF), for people ages 6 and older who have at least one copy of the G551D mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Cystic fibrosis is a rare genetic disease for which there is no cure and is caused by a defective or missing CFTR protein resulting from mutations in the CFTR gene. The most common serious adverse events included abdominal pain, increased liver enzymes, and low blood sugar that occurred in less than 1 percent of patients. It is a rare, life-shortening genetic disease which affects approximately 70,000 people worldwide, including 30,000 people in the United States, 35,000 in Europe, 4,000 in Canada and nearly 3,000 in Australia. Today, the median predicted age of survival for a person with CF is approximately 37 years in the United States.
For the third quarter, Vertex reported total revenues of approximately $336 million including net product revenues of approximately $254 million from Incivek (telaprevir) and approximately $49 million from Kalydeco (ivacaftor). Royalty revenues related to the sale of Incivo in Europe by its collaborator were approximately $20 million in the third quarter. Total revenues for the same quarter of the preceding year were $659.2 million which included one-time milestone revenue of $200 million from Janssen. The company reported a GAAP net loss of approximately $50 million, or $(0.27) per share, and non-GAAP net income of approximately $28 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. Cash and cash equivalents stood at $1.3 billion as of September 30.
The ongoing global launch of Kalydeco continues. The treatment is now approved in the U.S. and in all 27 EU countries for people with cystic fibrosis ages 6 and older who have at least one copy of the G551D mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. There are three phase 3 label expansion trials and one phase 2 proof-of-concept study underway for ivacaftor monotherapy. The company also announced that Vertex announced earlier today that it has entered into two separate, non-exclusive agreements with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Janssen Pharmaceuticals (a division of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) to evaluate multiple all-oral treatment regimens for people with genotype 1 hepatitis C.
Meanwhile, Vertex has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a hold. The company's strengths are noticeable in many areas such as its financial position with reasonable debt levels and notable return on equity. However, there are also weaknesses such as unimpressive growth in net income and weak growth in the company's earnings per share.
The Food and Drug Administration approved Incivek in May 2011, making it one of the first new hepatitis C drugs to reach the market in a long time and many people expected annual sales of the pill to be in the billions of dollars. However revenue has not really taken off and is actually declining partly because research into hepatitis C drugs has moved forward so quickly that patients are waiting for newer products before they begin treatment.
Incivek is approved in combination with two standard drugs: ribavirin, which is a pill, and Interferon, which is given by injection. Several companies are studying hepatitis C regimens that don't include Interferon because it has side effects. The company is maintaining its guidance of around $1.2 billion in sales for 2012 but it is clear that this is not going to be a major growth driver. While the major long-term outlook for Vertex centers on CF treatments, that is going to be pressure on earnings in the short run. I would recommend that you wait and watch developments before buying.
Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ: GILD) released overwhelmingly positive results for an experimental hepatitis C drug that analysts say could be a best-in-class treatment. Over the weekend Gilead presented results from its combination of sofosbuvir and daclatasvir that cured between 98 and 100 percent of patients within 12 weeks. Over 3 million people in the United States have hepatitis C, a blood-borne disease linked to 12,000 U.S. deaths a year and traditional two-drug treatment for the virus cures only about 40 percent of people but unpleasant side effects Analyst said Gilead's single-pill treatment could be a game changer for patients and doctors alike. Most important, Gilead's treatment would not include ribavirin, an antiviral used in combination with current treatments. This will reduce the toxicity and offer a true once a day treatment.
Gilead Sciences' stock price has almost doubled in the last 52 weeks and the company has been successful in receiving FDA approval for Quad and Truvada (for HIV prevention), and is now focusing on the Sofobuvir cocktail for Hepatitis C treatment. Sofobuvir is expected to garner peak sales of almost $4 billion which makes Gilead a major growth story. At a price/earnings ratio of around 17 times, I believe that the stock is significantly undervalued and have no hesitation in recommending a buy
Deutsche Bank just gave Idenix (IDIX) a big buy recommendation, projecting a stock price of $7 per share when the share is currently trading at just over $5. Its drug IDX-184 is still in development and has been on clinical hold because of its similarities with a drug from Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) that had extremely poor results. However it's aimed at the hottest area in health care right now which is the treatment of hepatitis-C and Deutsche Bank obviously believes that it is significantly different from Bristol-Myers Squibb's drug. I wonder, however, if a small company with limited resources can compete with the likes of both Abbott Labs (ABT) and Gilead. I would recommend watching the stock but I believe that no investment should yet be made in the absence of other positive indicators.
Achillion (NASDAQ: ACHN) is another development stage biotech company that focuses on treating HCV by targeting NS5A and NS3 drug targets. It has multiple candidates in its HCV pipeline: sovaprevir (formerly ACH-1625), which is a NS3 protease inhibitor; ACH-2684, which is a pan-genotypic NS3 protease inhibitor; as well as ACH2928 and ACH3102, which are NS5A protein inhibitors. Sovaprevir is the company's lead candidate with a potential for once daily dosing and is equipotent against HCV genotypes. This small biotech has as many as four HCV candidates in the pipeline, two of which are being evaluated in phase 2 studies.
Achillion ended the third quarter with cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of approximately $90.6 million and is in the position to fund the ongoing development. However, with the presence of the big boys, I would not recommend an investment at this point in time. However, you should watch the stock because the unusually rich HCV pipeline could provide plenty of future catalysts for share price increases. I also believe that the company could be a prime takeover target.
