"BLACK SHOES offers a welcome relief from the "ghetto lit" being rung through cash registers across the UK… Ghetto lit will do well to take a leaf out of that book and walk a step or two in Obiora's Black Shoes."
The Guardian (Full review)
"…it's surprising that Black Shoes is Obiora's first novel as he probes and wrestles with Daniel's character like someone who has been writing for years… reveals a complicated, layered and three dimensional character in Daniel. A morality tale, with more than a ring of truth to it for modern Britain – this is a great start for the actor/author."
Lime Magazine
"Obiora is a promising writer. This is more than entertainment, what transpires is a thought-provoking debut in the so called "post racial", post-Obama election era."
The New Black Magazine (Full review)
"The narrative of Black Shoes powers along in short, rapid shifts that build up to a powerful climax"
Property Week (Full review)
Michael talks to The Voice about his new book!
Check out the interview here
Meet successful London property developer Daniel Martins. He has everything a man could want: his own booming business, the luxury pad, the expensive sports car… all at the tender age of twenty-five. But should he appreciate this more because he is black?
Daniel doesn't think so, as far as he is concerned, his hard work warrants his position. Gone are the days where by default, black men are seen as gun toting, drug selling, urban music making individuals. Times have changed; the colour of ones' skin is trivial. It's the twenty-first century; racism is a thing of the past… isn't it? It's only policemen and shop assistants who constantly remind Daniel of the stereotypes assigned to his race. Surely this shouldn't be enough to send him on a mission to prove everybody wrong? After all, it could cost him his relationship with his best friend who happens to be white. It could cost him his career and make him become the very stereotype that he longs to refute. Despite all this, Daniel is hell-bent on challenging every prejudice, he is also desperate for his late fathers' approval. But how dangerous does his obsession with all this become?
In the meantime Safra, Daniel's beautiful long-term girlfriend wants more commitment but an obstacle in the form of another woman – who also happens to be white – may lie in the way. His brother thinks he should convert to Islam and, Daniel hopes his therapist can save him from the haunting wizard who breathes smoke through his nostrils.
Through explorations of love, friendships, paranoia and ignorance, BLACK SHOES, is about a professional mans' quest to find his way through the maze of negative stereotypes, and his own personal battle with his identity.
Daniels' life is far from a nightmare but he has a dream…

The goal of the OAIC program is to increase scientific knowledge that will lead to better ways to maintain or restore independence to older persons. UTMB has one of fourteen Pepper Centers located throughout the United States and funded by the National Institute on Aging. Click below to visit the National Pepper Center Website.
The OAIC theme is Translating Biological Mechanisms of Muscle Growth and Loss to Improve Function and Recovery from Illness in Older Adults. OAICs provide support for research to develop and test clinical interventions, and for core laboratories in the basic sciences. OAICs also train individuals in research approaches to develop and test methods of maintaining and increasing independence, and to enhance expertise in aging research by providing training in the relevant fundamental scientific disciplines.
We seek to identify predictors of physical function and recovery from illness in hospitalized geriatric patients; identify potential treatments to improve function and accelerate recovery; determine the efficacy of the identified treatments in clinical trials in geriatric patients; and increase the number of junior and senior investigators involved in geriatric research.
Services Available to other OAICs:
Upon review and approval from our Scientific Review Committee, we will provide data collected through our Resource Cores. Coordinators in the Clinical Research Resource Core collect the following information:

Categories > Books > Phantom of the Opera
Confrontation0 Reviews
Raoul and Erik confront each other in a deserted corridor and start arguing about (what else?) Christine.
Raoul moved swiftly down the corridors toward Christine's dressing room, seething. The Phantom of the Opera would finally meet his downfall... if Christine agreed to go along with his plan. A sudden shadow came from overhead, and Raoul glanced up. There was a window, so perhaps a large bird had drifted past. He dismissed it and kept going. Another shadow, larger this time, fell across the opposite wall. Slightly alarmed, Raoul glanced over his shoulder. No one. He turned to keep walking and almost collided with a man, slightly taller than himself, dressed all in black, wearing a white half-mask and a look that said he meant business.
"Well, well, well. The Phantom of the Opera, at last we meet." Raoul extended a hand in mock politeness, his lip curling. The Phantom glared at him, and Raoul dropped his hand.
"May I assume that makes you the Vicomte de Chagny?" he asked in the same light tone. His voice was deep and melodious. Raoul sidestepped the question with one of his own:
"What do you want?"
"That's quite simple," the Phantom said. "You're in my way." His hand rested on the sword at his hip, and tensed ever so slightly as he said this.
"And I believe you've seen the consequences people receive when they are in my way."
With a lightning-fast movement, the sword was instantly at Raoul's throat.
He forced a laugh.
"My good man, if I am in your way, then all you must do is pass by, or wait for me to pass you. You needn't have such a temper, fit to go around slitting people's throats."
"You know that's not what I meant," the Phantom growled. "How long before you intervene between Christine and I again?"
Raoul's blood ran cold with anger. "Before I intervene? I believe you intervened between Christine and myself. How long have you known her? Four, five years? I've known her all my life!"
The Phantom's eyes narrowed, and a sneer played around his lips. "It may have been five years, but in that time, and even before then, you disappeared from her life." He slowly began to circle Raoul, sword still pointed at his chest.
"You forgot about her, didn't you? Tell me, what was it that made you notice her that first day you arrived here at the Opera Populaire? Ah, yes: nothing at all. You walked right past her without a word."
Raoul was at a loss for words. As much as he hated to admit it, he had not noticed Christine that first day. The Phantom continued.
"It was the night of the Hannibal gala, if memory serves me. You took notice of her because she sang, and especially because she sang the lead role. Well, here's a little something for you to ponder, monsieur: You did not hear Christine. It was I that you heard."
"That's preposterous!" Raoul said angrily. This man was trying to make him feel guilty, and yet wasn't making any sense at all. "It was her voice, not yours. I didn't see you up there; I saw Christine, and I remembered."
"My question is, would you have noticed her if she hadn't sang the lead? For you see, before she came to the Opera Populaire, she knew how to sing, yes, but she couldn't feel the music. It was I that taught her how to let the music flow through her soul, to embrace it, and it was because of me that she won the lead role of Elissa."
Still he circled Raoul, now watching him hungrily. Raoul's face was awash in recognition that the Phantom was right again.
If she hadn't sung the lead role, he probably wouldn't have noticed her again, Raoul admitted to himself. He turned as the Phantom circled, each watching the other. "How can a monster like you ever love an angel? Answer that!" he challenged, and the Phantom's eyes widened slightly.
"She loves me... And because of her love, I have been forgiven. I am able to love because of Christine!" "Like hell you are!" Raoul snorted. "You are a demon. Demons do not love. Demons cannot love. It is only in your twisted, revolting imagination that she loves you. It is only in your mind."
"You think you can be rid of me by turning your guilt upon me, boy?!" the Phantom roared. "You, Vicomte, will never be rid of me. I am the Angel of Music. But above all, I am the Phantom of the Opera!"
They stared into each other's eyes for a moment, hatred coursing between them. Then... sudden, quick footfalls. Someone was coming.
"Monsieur le Vicomte?" Madame Giry appeared down the hall. Raoul, startled by her echoing steps, had turned so fast he feared he'd sprained his neck muscles.
"Madame Giry! Is there something wrong?"
"I was going to ask you the same thing. Are you alright?" She took in his panting breath and slightly disheveled appearance.
"Call the guards! Arrest him!"
"Arrest... whom?" she looked about the corridor, confused.
"The Phantom..." he spun back around, toward Christine's chamber, but there was no one there. "Monsieur, perhaps you have had one too many drinks this evening?" she suggested, and moved off down the opposite corridor.
Raoul glared around. How very like a phantom, he thought, to disappear at the first sign of a disruption. He turned to leave, and heard a quiet, mocking voice echoing to him:
"Yet while I live, I will haunt you till you're dead..."

Did Kiffin Come Down Too Hard on Barkley?
9/18/12 in NCAAF | Andrew_Ericksen | 230 respect
Kiffin said that Matt Barkley's two interceptions were "really unusual:" fair enough, complementing his quarterback despite the loss. But he also went on to say that the two interceptions were "Probably two of his worst decisions in our three years together." See, that's a bit over the top.
And what really kills it for me is that Kiffin also said in his conference that Barkley's "Pretty beat-up, mentally and physically" after the game. Well I'll tell you what Coach Kiffin, I'm sure when Matt heard you say that 'two of his worst decisions' in his college career were the focus of your press conference he instantly perked up. The expectations were through the roof this year for Barkley and to have so many dreams and aspirations become suddenly so distant (though still not unattainable) is enough to stomach on its own. He doesn't need his own coach adding insult to injury, especially when this same coach is clearly aware that he's 'mentally' beat-up over the loss.
The fact may very well be that those two interceptions were Barkley's two biggest mistakes at USC, but it's Kiffin's responsibility to get up on the podium and tell the press that he believes Barkley will come back strong because that's the type of quarterback he is. (Kiffin did eventually get there, saying he'd "Rally, just like he has before." But it's hard to take it whole-heartedly after the earlier comments.)
USC was up 14-7 near the end of the first half when Barkley threw a pass into traffic and Stanford Safety Jordan Richards came up with it. Barkley's defense got him the ball right back, but his next throw was intercepted as well, as he was trying to stretch out a big play. The Trojans then went scoreless in the second half, losing the game 21-14.
Maybe I'm just being picky because I have a lot of sympathy for what Barkley must be going through, but Kiffin's comments to me really seem unwarranted and unprofessional. It's as if he wants to make sure that the media knows it wasn't his personal fault about the game, that the USC loss was all because of two little glitches in the otherwise solid game plan. The comments are definitely getting a lot of press, so it will be interesting to see how the team fairs the rest of the way.

Mike Brey's Irish have finally reached the Top 25.
And they apparently impressed voters enough to jump high in the rankings.
The Irish landed at #21 in the latest coaches' poll and #22 in the AP Poll.
It's the first time this season the Irish have been ranked in either poll this season.
Notre Dame is coming off two big home wins this week against Providence and DePaul.
The victories pushed the Irish to 16-4 overall and 6-2 in the Big East.
The 6-2 record puts ND in 2nd place in the toughest conference in the country.
The Irish head on the road on Wednesday to face Seton Hall.
UConn also cracked the Top 25 in both polls at #19 spot. The Big East has five teams in each poll
Purdue broke into the AP Poll at #24, while not making the cut in the coaches' poll. The Boilers are tied for first in the Big Ten with a 8-1 league record.
IU dropped three spots in each poll. The Hoosiers are now ranked 14th in the AP Poll and 13th in the coaches' poll.
Butler moves up to 10th in the AP and 11th in the coaches' poll. The Bulldogs were ranked 12th in both polls last week.
Butler, IU, Notre dame and Purdue give Indiana four schools in the top 25. That is the most of any state. California and Tennessee each have three teams representing their respective states.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Veteran musical acts Bob Dylan and The Who will both make tour stops at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, their publicists announced Wednesday.
Dylan will bein San Diego on Oct. 24, performing with 1980s guitar whiz Mark Knopfler, the founder of Dire Straits. Tickets go on sale Aug. 4.
The Who, with two remaining original members, will perform its 1973 rock opera "Quadrophenia" in its entirety, along with selected classic songs, in a North American tour that begins in November and comes to San Diego on Feb. 5.
Tickets go on sale Friday for members of the band's official fan club. Public sales begin July 27.
Singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend will be backed by a variety of musicians. The roster includes Pete's brother, Simon Townshend, on guitar and backing vocals.
The senior Townshend said he loves performing all of the songs on "Quadrophenia" because they have a natural flow.
"The real high point for me is always the final song `Love Reign O'er Me,"' Townshend said. "Roger and I now stand almost alone together, representing not only the original band, but also its mod audience, and of course all our other early fans."

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am an alumnus of Classen SAS and I would just like to add that Classen is unlike any school in the state of Oklahoma. As a child from elementary thrown straight into a 'high school', I have to say it was very hard. It took me some time getting use to and I feel the decision my mother made for me was the right decision. The arts programs seem to suffer on the behalf of the IB department but if you have a good teacher, they know how to work with what they have. I think the teachers for the performing arts do well with the little funding they have. I was fortunate enough to focus on music and still get an IB education, that's the beauty of Classen. I was able to develop a wonderful talent of music and an education I m proud of. I LOVE CLASSEN! l.kirkendol ('04)
I am VERY disappointed in what people have said about Classen. I am a graduate and I LOVED, repeat LOVED, Classen. I was very prepared for college and I wasn't and IB major. I have recomended the school to everyone I have met with children, whether they are of age to attend or a few years away. My only complaint is the hypocracy in the fact that we preform at above average levels and still treated as if we were average students and kids. However, we can get over that. I dont think we were every lacking in academic readiness and I hope more parents are influnced by what I have to say (since I have first hand experiance) than that of someone who just 'heard about what is going on. ~Elena Trujillo, Class of 2003
I am a senior here at classen sas. I was horrified at what the other reviews said about classen. Granted, there are some things that need to be worked out, like the shortage of teachers. Don't all schools have something to work out? However, we have to be reminded that all school suffer this shortage of teachers due to lack of money from the government, it is not the actual schools fault. Also, I am in the visual arts program and I believe that it is equal to the ib program which is very complete in its program. Feel free to email me with questions about classen. Please use the subject on the email form as- classen questions. Thanks.
Awful school, just awful... as another review said, if this is the best, what's the worst? The specialty teachers are mediocre, regular teachers are awful. Administration is unsympathetic, and don't believe the 'we can choose the best teachers' stuff; the school is given what they're given, and they can't move a teacher out. They're constantly short teachers (oney whole school year my daughter ~never~ had a science teacher; English and History teachers are also in short supply... you can go all year without getting a position filled. I had an exchange student last year, and I was so ashamed of US schools... she'd go to school, watch TV for one or two classes a day, come home bored and apathetic. Never again; private schools are the only way to go.
The misson of the school is not clear. While it is a school of advanced studies in the arts as well as IB the performing arts students do not get the depth of instruction and oppotunity needed. The school does not provide the space for the arts programs to grow. Dance shares a major class/ performance space with the theatre program. The conflict for the use of this space is often very intense. Students suffer because of the conflicts. While many wonderful things have taken place at Classen there is still a long way to go as a performing Arts School. The lab productions by the theatre department are very good as well as the annual Nutcracker. Students from Classen number well at Quartz Mt. Summer Arts Insitute. Many have gone on to do well at both in state and out of state schools.
Several of the teachers are markedly substandard. The school overall suffers from being oversized. If this is the best, I hate to think what the worst is.

Offering wares as varied as menswear-inspired sweaters and ultra-feminine silk dresses, these designers have keen fashion and business sense, creating practical pieces at a mostly palatable price point.
Cozy, soft sweaters aren't the first things that come to mind when thinking about L.A. brands, but New York transplants Lisa Brochu and Lauren Walker have figured out how to make knitwear versatile enough for any climate with a collection of layerable knits, silk dresses, boiled-wool coats and cotton button-downs that make up their 3-year-old line.
The two met five years ago after moving to L.A. from New York. Brochu had previously been the women's knitwear designer for American Eagle, then took a West Coast post as design director for Joie. Walker launched several Los Angeles brands (while living in New York, no less), including Ya Ya and James Perse, where she oversaw sales, merchandising and marketing.
With Brochu Walker they combine their talents. Brochu heads up design (though they do collaborate), and Walker rounds out the business and operations side.
The result is a collection centered on knits such as nubby cardigans, but which also includes soft Ikat print silk dresses. The juxtaposition of the light and heavy pieces creates the contrast in textures and weight that makes the collection not only interesting to look at but also practical to wear in the Los Angeles climate, where layered dressing makes sense year-round.
Brochu and Walker are well aware of this balance of weight and proportion. "We're conscious of where things hit and make sure if the body of a sweater is bigger, then the sleeve is tighter," Brochu says.
"The drape is also important," Walker adds. "Our cardigans are draped — they're cardigans but with dimension."
"The strongest aspect of the collection for us is definitely the sweaters," says Lindsay Johnson, buyer at Arcade Boutique near West Hollywood. "They have really nailed it with details like leather buckles, unique textures and the softest cashmere at a very competitive price point."
Brochu and Walker stick to a muted palette with a couple of pops of color throughout.
The general feeling of coziness in the collection could easily translate into the home décor arena, something the two have their sights set on. Sheets, bedding, towels and candles are items Brochu and Walker envision as a future part of their brand, as well as a retail space that Walker assures "will definitely be in L.A."
Brochu Walker is priced from $60 for a T-shirt, around $265 for a fleece terry jacket to about $585 for sweaters. The line is available at stores including Saks Fifth Avenue, 9634 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills; Fred Segal, 8118 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles; and Arcade Boutique, 8473 Melrose Ave., West Hollywood.
Amber Sakai
Amber Sakai's collection encompasses aspects that include the ultra feminine (delicate lace details on jersey tops) and the super sporty (chunky zippers and body-conscious silhouettes reminiscent of a wetsuit). It's no surprise that Sakai, a Santa Barbara native and former model, got her start in design by making lingerie and, later, wetsuits.
Her eponymous contemporary collection, which debuted in spring 2009, features elements from her former specialties and shows off the technical skills she developed making bras, underwear and wetsuits. For fall, tweeds are cut into angular "pirate" pants that are cropped and have ballooned-out points at the side of the leg. Skirts are folded origami style across the front, and lace is cut into second-skin bodysuits that can be layered under baggy trousers or a tight, asymmetrical-cut leather skirt.
Sakai's jersey T-shirts with lace panel detailing down the front have been top sellers at Church boutique in Hollywood. "There has been a really good response with Amber's line," says Church co-owner David Malvaney. "The lace T-shirts do particularly well."
All of Sakai's garments are made in Los Angeles — the city whose easy, no-fuss dress code inspires her, she says.

Matt Harvey: new hope, same result
Matt Harvey was supposed to be different.
I have had the misfortune of missing the best moments in Mets franchise history.
The Amazin'-ness of the '69 Mets came well before my time, and the '86 Mets managed their ridiculous season a year before I was born. By the time I became a fan, Tom Seaver was just some old guy, Nolan Ryan had faded into the Texas sun like a western hero and Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry were lost to the spiral of drug addiction. Real drugs. Like the ones you take to ruin your life, not resurrect your career. You could make the argument that my birth served as some kind of Antichrist moment, a terrible turning point for the franchise. But that would be crazy. (Right?)
The bottom line is that I completely missed those players. Their time in Flushing might have been short or ended in disgrace, but generations of fans can bask in the memories that those guys created. Mine, meanwhile, revolve around a World Series loss, two epic collapses and a future Hall-of-Famer who is forever remembered for the time he didn't swing. Oh, and Matt Harvey.
I'd be lying if I said that news of Harvey's season-ending injury took me by surprise. The Summer of Harvey always felt like borrowed time; like I had already swallowed the poison and was just waiting for it to hit my blood stream. The Mets don't fall ass-backwards into one of the best young pitchers in the game. They go running, arms outstretched, to guys like Paul Wilson, Bill Pulsipher and Jason Isringhausen.
The Mets don't have a pitcher who starts his career in historic fashion. They don't have a guy with a career ERA of 2.39 or an ERA+ of 153. They don't have a guy who strikes out, on average, 10 batters per every nine innings. The Mets don't have a guy who starts the All-Star Game. And they certainly don't have a guy who can do this:
But this time, they did. The beauty of Matt Harvey was that, for once, something the Mets touched actually turned to gold. He'd been drafted by the Angels in 2007, only to spurn them for college. Then six teams bypassed him when he re-entered the draft in 2010, placing him directly in New York's lap. And even then, we didn't know just exactly what the Mets had. Harvey's future was, at best as a career number two starter, or at worst a pitcher with a live fastball but no consistency.
You don't have to squint very hard to see that Donnie Darko, alternate reality version. In one of the best drafts in the last 10 years, the Mets miss out on Bryce Harper and Manny Machado, and pass on Chris Sale and Christian Yelich to take Matt Harvey. He soon becomes the latest first-round bust, joining the likes of Billy Traber, Aaron Heilman, Phil Humber and Mike Pelfrey as modern-day Mets pitchers who never fulfilled their potential. Within five years, he's the answer to some obscure trivia question that you're ashamed you actually know.
Instead, without even really trying, the Mets got ahold of one of the most precious commodities in baseball.
It's important to note here that the Mets are not to blame for anything other than being, you know, the Mets. Unlike the guy who owns the Ferrari but keeps it locked in his garage, the Mets have to turn their prospects loose at some point. These things happen for no other reason than that throwing a baseball is a stressful and unnatural action for the human body to endure time after time. It's not overuse, and it's not poor training. The Mets' only mistake is that they had the audacity to try and win some baseball games.
And Harvey is not dead, nor is he even a lock for Tommy John surgery. The rational fan would say that there's a chance he never has to go under the knife, a chance that 2014 begins with the eternal hope that spring brings to all baseball teams. But Mets fans know better. These things are never that easy.
When I sat down to write this, I turned off the TV, flipped open my laptop and turned on the most emo music still left in my iTunes library. It seemed like the appropriately melodramatic thing to do.
Yet after a song, I switched it off. I wasn't really that upset, I realized. I had been mentally preparing for this moment all summer. I didn't need emo music. I needed an exorcism.

"Turning keeps me grounded," explained Jennifer, a Hoosier from Indianapolis. "My day job as a director of the evening news on ABC station WRTV is relatively stressful. News is, as a rule, depressing. I am bombarded with it during the day, so turning helps me escape the chaos I deal with at work. Doing creative work as a hobby gives me a sense of balance that I find necessary in this hectic age."
What she also finds necessary is to use her hobby not just for her own pleasure, but to help others. Shortly after Hurricane Katrina, she decided to take her Anthem Bowl, which has the first notes of the national anthem carved into the rim, and use it for a good cause. "I asked Ellis [Walentine, webmaster of WoodCentral.com] if I could auction it off on WoodCentral to raise money for hurricane victims. We did, and it started a movement. Others did the same, and before the dust cleared, Woodcentral had raised over 12,000 dollars. All the money went to the Red Cross."
That's just part of a pattern of sharing that is typical for Jennifer. "This is a straight-out hobby," she pointed out. "I'd be in a heap of hurt if I were trying to rely on turning sales for my livelihood. Besides, I get more pleasure from giving my work away. Every year I give bowls to the local Boys and Girls Club through my local turning club. I have sold about a quarter of the bowls I have made, and some are displayed here at home, but I give away about half of what I make."
Besides bowls, pens and other turned objects, she also gives of her time and expertise teaching and demonstrating at her local woodturner's club and at woodworking stores. "Teaching is something I would really like to pursue," Jennifer told me. "I think I have a knack for it, and I very much enjoy teaching. We often learn on our own incorrectly. Learning the right way is a huge improvement, especially when something clicks for students. It is very rewarding to see their faces light up when they finally get it."
Like many of us, Jennifer got into woodworking for very practical reasons, at least at first. "It all started in 1993, the year my son was born. I bought a 1925 bungalow that needed repairs, so I bought a chop saw and went at it. I did floors, trim, and whatever else needed to be done. Along the way, I added more tools as I needed them. I took an adult education class in woodworking at the local high school in 1996, and that is where I was introduced to the lathe.
"One guy in the class did nothing but turning. I recall one night when he brought in a cherry log and three hours later walked out with a completed plant stand. He talked me into joining the local AAW [American Association of Woodturners] chapter. When The Woodworking Shows came to Indianapolis, I bought a JET mini-lathe, and that is where my turning career started. After that, I never wanted to do anything but lathe work. Of course, I still do other woodworking, mostly making things in my house that I can't afford to buy, but these days, I have to cover up the lathe in order to get other woodworking done."
"I used the mini-lathe for three years, then bought a large variable speed lathe that will handle a 20-inch bowl. That opened up my world as far as material I can use and what I can turn. Ironically, it was after I bought the large lathe that I got into turning miniatures."
It's clear that her style is evolving and getting more eclectic as Jennifer tries new things, but by her own admission, not everything comes out perfect. "There are things that come off my lathe that look awful," she confessed, "but as with photography, you make a lot and save the good ones. The Bamboo Bowl is a good example of trying something new. It has fire-scorched bamboo skewers glued onto the bowl. However, in my opinion it did not work, so I donated it to a local fundraiser. Dancing Kids was another new direction; it was the first piece I used both color and woodburning on. It was made to be donated to my son's school for a silent auction.
"The Fiesta Platter is a good indicator of the direction I am going now, and represents a bunch of cumulative styles. It is both carved and burned with a pyrography tool, and it has some black gesso, which I often use because it colors well but still shows the grain. I think it is one of the strongest pieces I have made. When I was done with it, I looked at it and felt 'that's the best I could have done on this.' Sometimes you end up saying 'that's good enough,' but this went beyond that.
"I am a firm believer that most people need a creative outlet," Jennifer insists. "I think everyone can be creative, and I think it is good for your soul, for your wellbeing. It makes you emotionally, and ultimately physically, healthier. For me, it has brought so much to my life. Woodturning gives me great pleasure and brings to my life a peaceful balance. That makes me more stable, which makes me a better mother.
"One of the greatest pleasures I get," Jennifer confided, "is when I come in from the garage and show my latest work to my son, Weston. He is my most honest critic and my biggest fan, so when I see his eyes light up, it makes my day. He is forever dragging friends into the house to show off my work. He makes me feel like the artist I aspire to be."

Okay, Coheed & Cambria types.
I was told I absolutely HAD to listen to these guys, being that I was a fan of Rush and that "they are so similar, musically." Well, they aren't...but, "okay, I'll give it a go!" I said.
So I gave it a go. I bought and listened to the album that was recommended to me...Second Stage Turbine Blade (a cool album name, and right up my jet-powered alley).
I listened to it again.
I listened to it a third time.
I hate them. Okay, maybe hate is a strong word. I dislike their music quite whole-heartedly.
Their musical structure is lacking, in my opinion. Their vocalist is muddled in the mix, making the lyrics virtually unintelligible...and he sounds like a breathy teenage girl.
Am I missing something? Do they have any instrumental-only tracks that I might like on other albums?
These guys are playing Coachella. That ought to be interesting.
I simply can't wrap my head around it all.
A bit of proggy tech death for your Saturday morning enjoyment.
"Technical metal?" Is this a new genre?
Whatever. Holy crap! THAT WAS RAD!!!
Singing yo ho yo ho, a bottle of rum and off we go!
Lets get this thread back to what it was started for, please. Thanks.
Talk about the music, not the musician's political leanings.

With the release of the 2010 "True Grit" movie, more and more people are searching about one of the main characters in the movie, Rooster Cogburn. It is believed that a lot of the character of Rooster Cogburn was patterned after the only one-eyed US Deputy Marshal serving under Judge Issac C. Parker - and that man was Calvin "Cal" Whitson.
Cal Whitson and his family in front of his Grocery, Flour & Feed Store. Cal not only served as a US Deputy Marshal, but also farmed, served in the Civil War, and had a lot of different jobs and businesses like this grocery/feed store. These stories and more are told in the soon to be released "Legend of Cal Whitson".
It is believed that the character Rooster Cogburn from True Grit was based somewhat upon the life of Calvin Cal Whitson.
Cal Whitson served as a US Deputy Marshal, for the US Marshals Service in Fort Smith, Arkansas, under the rule of Judge Isaac C. Parker (better known as the Hangin Judge).
Cal Whitson was a pretty rough, tough crusty character, having had his left eye shot out during his service in the Civil War. Cal never wore a patch over his eye as portrayed in the novel/movie(s) "True Grit" but rather always wore his hat down over his left eye to hide the wound.
Author of the 1968 novel True Grit, Charles Portis, stated that the unforgettable character Rooster Cogburn was actually a composite of different US Deputy Marshals from Fort Smith, but strong inferred evidence shows otherwise and indicates that the character is closely based upon the life of Calvin Cal Whitson the only one-eyed US Deputy Marshal to serve under Judge Issac C. Parker at Fort Smith during the late 1880s.
John Wayne won the only Academy Award of his career for playing the aging, violent, drunken, one-eyed US Deputy Marshal and now Jeff Bridges takes his turn at bringing the character to life. These lawmen are depicted riding horseback in Indian Territory, in hopes of capturing outlaws and bringing them back to Fort Smith, along the banks of the Arkansas River, to be brought to justice. Legend of Cal Whitson tells part of the story of how the West was won and brings Cal Whitson, the REAL Rooster Cogburn, to life.
Rooster was reborn on December 22, 2010 when the new movie version of True Grit was released in theaters across the country. The "Legend of Cal Whitson" will be available for purchase on this web site upon its release in Q1-2012.

text: Has religion influenced the cultural acceptance of robots? Olivia Solon's Blog 25 March 11 by Olivia Solon Tweet CC-licensed: Kazumichi Moriyama The Japanese are more accepting of robots because they don't suffer from the Judeo-Christian guilt or fear associated with making idols, according to Jean-Claude Heudin, a researcher at the University of Paris.He explained to Wired.co.uk that because of Exodus 20 ("You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below", i.e. no idols) many Westerners see the creation of life or something as lifelike as a robot as a transgression of some sort of moral law. For that reason we have scary iconic figures such as Dr Frankenstein's monster and Golem (of Jewish folklore, not LOTR, fame) and frequent Hollywood robot horror movies such as Terminator to pollute our attitudes towards robots.Heudin says: "That explains a bit culturally why the first impression about this technology is one of anguish, unlike our Japanese contemporaries where robots are viewed as a companion of life or the saviour of humanity."Fujiko Suda, the Japanese founder of Project Kobo, agreed with Heudin, talking of a culture of Japanese accepting robots as friends. When asked why a lot of robotic innovation was coming from Japan and Korea rather than Europe and the US, she responded: "I think it's that religious difference. In Japan we don't have this one god who created mankind. When you create robot it can feel too godlike. We have eight million gods. God is in everything. So if you have a human-shaped robot, it's just another thing in nature that we work with. We're not afraid of it. "It is certainly true that Japan has the world's highest use of industrial robots and that it specialises in humanoid types. However, there are no major studies that support this hypothesis. So while it's certainly an interesting theory, it will have to remain as such until it is scrutinised more scientifically. What do you think? Tell us in the comments. Edited by Nate Lanxon Comments Well, I think Americans, in fact most all westerners; hate the idea of machines masquerading as humans. It has nothing to do with faith or even style. It's a novelty, annoying as hell, and the whole concept doesn't help functionality or usage one bit. The checkout counters no longer recite the price of every item that's scanned and cars no longer speak to tell you when your door is ajar or your seatbelt is unfastened. That's been gone for decades. There's nothing more fraudulent and aggravating than a made-up electronic voice saying "Thank you, and have a nice day" Rick Mar 27th 2011 well, to me this is a plausible way of viewing it. But i was thinking that what westerns are really afraid of is that maybe, their creations can be bigger and more powerful. All these movies (terminator, matrix, ai) humans are really scared that machines can create opinion and mind of their own and grow more powerful than them. Humans in general just can't accept the fact that maybe something is bigger/better/faster/stronger. Isabella Sarkis de Carvalho Mar 27th 2011 Japan? Robots? I thought the two were synonymous, until the latest nuclear disaster. Not one robot seen doing the dirty work. Despite watching 'development' robots for the last thirty years doing soon-to-be cool stuff, when the chips are down...NO ROBOTS!Me thinks the Japs have sold us a dummy about how hi-tech they really are.Who cares if they can make them smile and are not frightened by them etc... David Sutherland Mar 27th 2011 fear of making idols? #LOL (fear for humanoid robots is analyzed in lots of research - their eyes/stare looks fake, they make people feel they're life-threatening zombies [out-of-this-world things])agree with David Sutherland btw, where are those "clever" etc. robots in the field helping in Japan's nuclear disaster? Instead you got radiation-sick workers in hospital from trying to reconnect electricity cables for cooling nuclear reactors manually George Birbilis Mar 28th 2011 You've got it backwards; it's not that our religious history makes us less likely, it's that their religious history makes them more likely to accept them:"Fear of making idols" you have to squint to make that work,"Minds in everything vs human exceptionalism" that is the core of it. Human exceptionalism is certainly not unique to our christian heritage, you can look through loads of greek and roman stuff and see the same thing; the equivalence of type between human thought and the structure of the cosmos, rather than similarity with animal's thoughts.Then you get Descartes suggestion that humans are machines + soul, which was rejected and dispised during the later years, particularly by romantics.There's a whole set of reasons that humans over here tend to think about themselves as seperate from the world, wheras the japanese culture doesn't emphasise the same things at all, particularly not when defining the value of human life.

ur shadowbolt comments are totally eronious...
actualy the affliction tree makes shadowbolt refresh corruption and also ads a stacking debuff to SB, so the affliction tree makes SB work very well for affliction. Also in the affliction tree, there is a tallent to make SB instant on a proc.... THAT'S 3 SHADOW BOLT TALLENTS IN AFFLICTION TREE....
Farther more, having a cast time tallent for SB in the destruction tree makes perfect sense for a pvp affliction spec where u would most defenetly use drain life as a filler and only cast SB when its instant
DeathPaladin said...
First, Shadow Bolt was removed from Everlasting Affliction during the Cataclysm Beta. Corruption is reset by Haunt (one of our staples), Drain Soul (our execute), and Drain Life (which we're apparently only supposed to use in an emergency).
Second, Nightfall, the proc that generates an instant Shadow Bolt? It procs off of damage from Corruption and Drain Life. Shadow Bolt is the effect of the proc, not the cause, so it is not a talent that rewards using Shadow Bolt as a filler (quite the opposite, since using Shadow Bolt means you are not using Drain Life, which does cause Nightfall procs)
So, Affliction actually only has 1 Shadow Bolt talent: Shadow Embrace.
By comparison, let's look at Affliction's synergy with Drain Life:
Soul Siphon - makes Drain Life hit harder on targets with multiple dots
Death's Embrace - makes Drain Life hit harder if you are at low health
Nightfall - makes Drain Life proc instant Shadow Bolts
Everlasting Affliction - makes Drain Life refresh Corruption

As far as I know a lot of them seem to be speculative. Sure there are a few knowns where dungeons are being overhauled, but things like Explorer and other similarly difficult quests that involve ... well exploring what Azeroth is now may be either completely changed or removed or both (new achievement?).
I am not in the beta so I cannot do much more than speculate but per the theme of this post I really don't regret or miss the beta. I (think) I am spending my time much more effectively on the live realms. I know level 81 quest greens will replace my ICC-25 gear, and that is why I am spending time doing other random things, learning the ins and outs of PVP again, and as a healer this time and not a mage... other fun stuff!

If I have wounded some poor soul today,
If I have caused one foot to go astray,
If I have walked in my own willful way,
Dear Lord, forgive.
If I have uttered idle words in vain,
If I have turned aside from want or pain,
Lest I offend some other through the strain,
Dear Lord, forgive.

HoopsHype Milwaukee Bucks rumors
Roster | Salaries | On Twitter | Twitters | Instagram
Milwaukee Bucks VIDEOS
Marc Stein: One more note about Milwaukee: Hearing there's strong sentiment within the organization to keep hold of Ersan Ilyasova. Not trade him Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc Stein: Nine teams, by my count, have enough cap space to put in post-amnesty bids for Carlos Boozer: ATL, CHA, HOU, LAL, MIL, ORL, PHI, PHX & UTAH Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
As promised, Drew Gooden did not try to "fix cards" to leverage a better deal with another team so he will be announced as re-signed as early as Tuesday with the Wizards for what's expected to be a one-year deal at the veteran minimum at $1,448,490 million. Gooden retains his Early Bird rights by staying with the Wizards and is in the final year of a $13.3 million amnesty payment from the Milwaukee Bucks. CSNWashington.com
Gery Woelfel: Jerry Stackhouse is drawing serious consideration as an asst. coach for Bucks. Stackhouse was a fan favorite as Bucks player. Twitter @GeryWoelfel
Gery Woelfel: Told the Bucks might announce their new partial owners soon, possibly as soon as tomorrow. Twitter @GeryWoelfel
Charles F. Gardner: No update on Gary Payton today but he is here sitting near Jason Kidd and Bucks GM John Hammond. Twitter @cf_gardner
Q.What about Larry Sanders, and can he bounce back after his disastrous 2013-'14 season? And can he control his emotions on the floor? Jason Kidd. Yeah. I think it starts with being healthy. Two, he's here working out. When you look at that and being gone for five months, he's here with his teammates. That's the start. He's been great. He's talking. He wants to be a leader. He cares. He's talking to the young guys at practice, taking them to dinner (Friday). That shows his leadership. Tyson (Chandler) off the floor is great but when he gets on the floor he gets into his warrior mentality. Sometimes you play with that spirit and it's all being able to control it, making sure mentally you don't get taken out of the game. There's always going to be a call you feel you didn't get. But just stay in the moment, and hopefully that's what I can get across. Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Q.Can O.J. Mayo return to form after his dismal initial season in Milwaukee? A. I haven't had any discussions yet with him, but we're looking to talk in the next couple days. I think the big thing with O.J. — I've known him since he was in high school — and he's a great kid, loves the game of basketball. I don't know exactly what happened with him last year. But when you look at him playing in Memphis, playing in Dallas, he was playing at a very high level. That's our job, is to get him back there. He can score the ball. He can shoot the ball as well as anybody in the league. Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
They called him the Glove, one of the best defensive players ever to put on an NBA uniform. Gary Payton, a longtime friend of Bucks coach Jason Kidd, could be in the mix for a position on the team's coaching staff. Payton has been around during Bucks summer league practices this week and sat in the stands with Kidd, general manager John Hammond and assistant general manager David Morway during Friday's game between the Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers. "I'm just seeing what kind of interest level he has in coaching at all, seeing where he's at," Kidd said Saturday. "You're talking about one of the best competitors in the game." Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Shandel Richardson: I've been to a lot of summer league games the last 4 years, but never seen the gym packed as it is now for Jabari Parker vs Andrew Wiggins. Twitter @ShandelRich
Ryan Wolstat: For some reason Wiggins-Parker is in the small gym here. It's a sellout, with people being turned away. Twitter @WolstatSun
Charles F. Gardner: Bucks GM John Hammond on LeBron move: "It's obviously made our division the most competitive in the NBA, with Indiana, Chicago, Cleveland." Twitter @cf_gardner
Charles F. Gardner: Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry on James going to Cleveland: "I think it's great. It tells small-market teams you're going to be able to compete." Twitter @cf_gardner
I was told by an NBA official that the Bucks also had discussions with Indiana and were interested in acquiring veteran Pacers center Roy Hibbert, who hasn't performed up to his lofty contract. Hibbert's contract calls for him to earn $14.89 million next season. He then has a player-option the following season for $15.51M. Racine Journal-Times
In the days leading up to the draft in June, rumors circulated that the Bucks were seriously shopping beleaguered veteran center Larry Sanders. A report recently surfaced the Bucks had offered Sanders to the Brooklyn Nets as part of a package deal that would have brought veteran center Brook Lopez to Milwaukee. Brooklyn reportedly rejected the offer. Racine Journal-Times
Andrew Perna: #Bucks officially announce the signing of Jabari Parker. Twitter @Andrew_Perna
Shams Charania: Julyan Stone has cleared NBA free agent waivers, discussing possible deal with 76ers, Kings and Bucks now, league source tells RealGM. Twitter @ShamsCharania
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is No. 1 in a list filled with old-school players at the top.

"The Battlefield"
Commissioned work: Samus Aran, Metroid vs Link, Legend of Zelda
Doesn't this scenario remind you of Nintendo's popular game Super Smash Brothers? I've been playing this game non-stop on my N64 during my younger years and I've never imagined myself doing a piece like this until someone commissioned me to do so. =D
I consider this one of my best works for a number of reasons; 1. it's the first time I've actually done a fight scene since I started the Fresh Doodle, 2. Never thought my style would pull off mechanical suits and 3. my anatomy skills have been once again put to a test!
Enjoy guys, definitely a refreshing piece to look at! ^_^

Commissioned work. Client requested to have his friends who are both dancers drawn in a dark, sexy, bloody vampire theme. Definitely one of the most interesting subjects I've worked on. I'd like to thank him too for providing me awesome photos of dance positions for reference.
Merry Christmas everyone! ^_^

"Pack of Wolves"
"Winter is Coming", the Stark family tree
This is my attempt at the most popular house / family in HBO's hit series Game of Thrones. This piece has been long due, I've always wanted to draw all of them I just never had the time nor any idea of how to present this awesome family. Not until I was approached by Bottleneck Gallery to submit a piece for their "The Gang Is All Here" show exhibit which opens tonight at Brooklyn, NY.
Signed and numbered prints are AVAILABLE HERE
And You Shall Be Petrified
First of all I'd like to tell all of you that "Sandy" hurricane is a B*TCH. Yeah you heard me, a B*TCH.
This piece was supposed to be released and featured on Oct 31 at Gallery U's "Something Wicked Comes This Way" Halloween art exhibit. But then the b*tch and f*cked everyone from the northeast up. Oct 31 is my bday, and as an artist it would've been sooo awesome to have an art show on your bday.
But it already and no matter how I complain, things won't change. Atleast the event was not cancelled, only postponed to tomorrow! So can't complain with that one! ^_^
The only thing I can say about this piece, is DON'T stare at her eyes! You just might get…!
SIGNED and NUMBERED Limited Edition Prints - AVAILABLE HERE
Belated HAPPY HALLOWEEN guys! ^_^
7 of Pentacles
A few months ago I was approached by Light Grey Art Lab to be part of the "Tarot, Mystics and the Occult Exhibition". There are a total of 78 artists and each of us are assigned to interpret one tarot card through our style of art. I was asked to do "7 of pentacles". And so, here it is.
A LIMITED quantity of the Tarot decks are AVAILABLE HERE
If you want just the tarot card of my work or a regular print, they are also AVAILABLE HERE
The exhibit will take place this Friday at the Light Grey Art Lab in Minneapolis. So if you're in the neighborhood feel free to drop by! Check out their FACEBOOK EVENT for details!
Black Pea
With all these deadlines and exhibits, I barely have time to do conceptual art. Good for me, I had just a little time to turn this idea that's been going circles in my head into a reality.
Dark tones can be as vibrant.

My 2nd entry will be up soon! ^_^
The Butcher
This is my 3rd and last entry to my recent art show "More Than You Imagined" at the Bottleneck gallery. As most of you already know, this is Dexter Morgan from the best series in the world, DEXTER. Last season's ender just made me go f*ckin' nuts, which inspired me to draw this piece. I personally think it was the best cliff hanger ever and I'm so excited to watch this season! 9 more days! I seriously can't predict whats going to happen this season!
Signed limited editions are still available at the gallery and their online store!Limited signed edition prints are AVAILABLE HERE
Viking's still hungry
This is my attempt at True Blood's Eric Northman, in his viking look. I never was a huge fan of the show and season 4 just made it worse for me. In season 5 however, I believe that Eric's role saved the series along with Russel Edgington(RIP, didn't like how you died) and Steve Newlin. I wasn't really fascinated by the whole "Lilith" and religion thing, but whatever lol Those three pretty much saved the show and will keep me hooked til' the next season.
This is my 2nd submission to my current exhibit "More than You Imagined" @ Bottleneck Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. It's basically an exhibition of works from different artists inspired by premiere cable shows from HBO, Showtime and Cinemax.
I'm Makin' A Statement
This is Al Capone from HBO's award winning series Boardwalk Empire. As we all fans know, show's coming back this Sunday and I'm just that excited. Last season's ender just threw me off my seat literally, it was just sad seeing some people go and now I just can't wait to see what happens next! So this piece is just a warm up of my list of boardwalk empire characters to draw.
This piece is also one of my three submissions for my upcoming art exhibit "More than you imagined" in Brooklyn, New York! The exhibit will take place at the Bottleneck Gallery tomorrow night(Sep 7) at 7pm. "More than you Imagined" is basically an exhibition of works from different artists inspired by premiere cable shows from HBO, Showtime and Cinemax. Check out their facebook page to see some previews by other artists participating in this show.
I have a total of three pieces with 11 signed limited editions each, so if you're from the Brooklyn area I'm inviting you to check out the opening night! Exhibit also runs til' Sep. 28 incase you miss the opening night! Visit www.bottleneckgallery.com for more details of the show!

Seattle is the latest city to announce that it has taken giant leaps when it comes to multifamily energy benchmarking. Under the new Seattle Energy Benchmarking and Reporting Ordinance, the city compiled energy data on 87 percent of its commercial and multifamily buildings that are 50,000 square feet or greater, in 2011.
Why is this important? For years, owners looking for the funds to do green retrofits faced a major obstacle—a lack of data to help justify the expenditures. This benchmarking effort will help provide metrics around the long-term savings associated with green rehabs and new development, which may spur more favorable underwriting from the financiers investing in such deals.
Seattle is in good company. In other large cities, similar ordinances have already been passed into legislation. Washington, D.C., New York, San Francisco, Austin, and Philadelphia already require energy benchmarking data on commercial and multifamily structures to be reported.
According to Jill Simmons, director of Seattle's Office of Sustainability and Environment, the initiative is one that draws a line in the sand that will go a long way toward helping the city and multifamily owners in the long run.
"Seattle's benchmarking program has helped many building owners who have never tracked energy use before better understand their building's energy performance," said Simmons. "Reporting the information to the city will help us improve and create programs to help owners upgrade their facilities to save energy and money."
Energy data for 2012 is required to be submitted by April 1, 2013 in each of the cities mentioned above.
