Charming Hotel
Hotel was nice.
Comfortable room. Staff were efficient and friendly. Breakfast was good. Lounge area downstairs is quite big if you want to sit a read. Only issue was that website of hotel seemed to show spa facilities but there were none.

Really great location for a lovely hotel
This hotel is really well located in the centre of Salisbury.
It is only a short stroll away from the shops, but is far enough away to be a quiet and restful place to stay at night.

Salisbury Stay
Quite expensive for this hotel.
Parking last time I stayed was free and now £6!. Breakfast was not great and very greasy. Also when I placed the order the waitress obviously did not listen to my request as I received other items which I did not ask for!

Cold room no atmosphere
The heating did not seem to be working in my room.
It was at the very end of the building. The Bathroom was clean and fitted with nice fittings but whoever designed it had never used any of them. The folding shower screen which got banged by the door handle when you opened the door made it difficult to get to the bath taps which operated the shower. The shower head was by Grohe but is designed for people who want to stand on the taps whilst showering, it does not reach out far enough with the low water pressure that is delivered in that room. The mirror steamed up worse than usual as the room was cold but is set about 170mm back from the basin in a recess in the wall, you need to climb into the basin to look at yourself in it, and the spotlights light your hands whilst washing and the top of your head when shaving. Bed was comfortable though.

Lovely Hotel in the Heart of Salisbury
Lovely hotel in the heart of Salisbury, great ambience and nicely decorated throughout.
Great attention to detail added to the rooms and bathroom. Only flaw was the floor was quite creaky in my room, which was quickly changed to another room in the same privledge category, by reception. Room service was fast and efficient. Breakfast service again was on point. Would defiantly stay again and try out the restaurant next time too.

Very good, elegant and comfortable.
July 2014 Stay
I thought it was a very welcoming hotel.
Shame about the weddings as I really don't think the downstairs area is big enough to host a wedding as well as then give private space to the other guests in the hotel.

Three bad points im afraid.
Firstly, I was not given a pass at reception to exit car park, not nice sitting at a barrier pushing a button to speak to someone, and then get put through to the bookings dept. Secondly, seems rather strange to pay £5 per night to park my car on a Hotel car park, very odd. Finally, it also seems strange to have to pay £10 per person for breakfast, even though the room costs over £100 per night. Room only for you eh, now that's what I call making a profit.

June 23, 2011
So the top rated question for this week is "What are some of the aspects of the culture that you STILL can't get used to." Oh boy. This is going to be a difficult issue to discuss, because we're worried that people might get offended. But, ah well! What we said here has to be said. People are really scary drivers in Korea, and they butt us in line a lot.
With the first point, we don't want this to deteriorate into simply stereotyping Asian people as bad drivers, which is what we're worried we'll be accused of. Let's say off the bat that we're not accusing Korean people of being bad drivers. We're accusing them of being recklessly aggressive. Allow us to tell a few stories: driving the scooter home today, right after filming this week's TLDR segment, and a car pulled into my lane, into INCOMING TRAFFIC, because the driver he was behind was going too slowly. I leaned on my horn, and the driver that was coming right at me pulled off to the sidewalk (where people were walking) and I drove between his car and that of the slow driver. It's crazy. I could have been hit today.
Two weeks ago we witnessed two different scooter accidents within the span of five days. In one of them we had to lift the car off the scooter driver. While everyone stood around and gawked from the sidewalk, we ran to the convenience store, grabbed some water and tissues, and cleaned the blood off his face to see where he was bleeding. We had to stop other people from trying to get him to sit up. What if he broke his neck!? Don't move his head until the ambulance comes! The ambulance came and we walked away, while everyone still stood and stared. Five days later we were eating dinner and watched a scooter T-Bone a taxi and flip over the taxi. He was fine, somehow (must be the inner ninja in him) but the taxi's window was shattered and passenger door crumpled.
Last winter we got into a taxi during a snowstorm. Bad idea. This guy wanted to drive as fast as he could, fishtailed around a corner, and lost control of the car and we spun out in the middle of the street. When the taxi finally stopped spinning we saw a bus barreling down at us, and we thought that this was it: we were going to die, because some jackass doesn't know how to drive in the snow. The bus narrowly swerved away and we weren't hit. The taxi driver straightened out his car and started driving us back home, only this time again just as freaking insanely as before. We feared for our life, genuinely, and got out of the taxi and walked home for an hour in the snowstorm instead.
It's terrifying. Really. We have friends who have been hit by cars, and friends of friends who've been hit so hard that they were put into comas. We've almost been hit many times. We've been in taxis that have almost hit people many times. Buses have almost hit people many times. Seriously: Korea is an exceptionally safe country. We don't worry about ever being mugged or attacked. We can leave the keys in our scooter and nobody will steal it. No vandalism, no drug related crimes (that we're aware of). We're shocked at how well behaved people are, and so we're never worried about the people we meet on the street. Put them in cars, though, and we're seriously scared of the damage they can do to us.
But these are just a few examples of bad scenarios we have been in. The vast majority of our experiences are decent, safe, and nothing to write about. So it would be totally unjustified to say that all Korean people are bad drivers. Our problem is, really, that some of the worst driving we've ever experienced was in the three years we've been here in Korea. Or maybe Canada is just the greatest driving country in the world, and all other countries pale in comparison (doubt that). We just know that the stuff we see here we're totally unused to, and it really freaks us out. Red lights in Canada mean stop, not "ehh, creep forward a bit to see if you can make it through the lights before getting smoked."
The butting in line issue is also one that peeves us off a bit, but at least it doesn't endanger our lives. We just seem to, majority of the time, have someone butt in line when we're waiting for either the bus or the subway. I swear, we'll wait for the bus to Seoul for like, ten minutes. The bus will pull up, and people who just got there will rush to the front to get in front of us. No apologies, no nothing.
This is so painful to us, because it's something that was heavily instilled in us as children. You cannot get back into the classroom after recess unless you are all in an orderly line. More than that, we were taught to demonize all butters of lines. Doesn't matter if your friend was there, or that you put your hat down in line and that marked your spot in line. NO! YOU CANNOT BUTT IN LINE!! ARRGHH! Why isn't it the same in Korea? Or is it? Maybe we've just had a string of bad luck? We've even had this happen to us in coffee shops. We'll wait in line, and someone will walk off the street and try to order a latte right away. That's where we use our broken Korean and let them know that there's a lineup, to which they'll politely defer. But, still! What the heck!
We really hope this isn't taken out of proportion. Every time we say something remotely negative about Korea we get a backlash from netizens who say "If you don't like it then leave you dirty Americans!" even though we're Canadian. We'll say it again: Korea, we love you, and we think you're a fantastic country. You're not perfect, and, really, if our two biggest complaints about you are how you drive and cut in line, then that's a good thing! Oh well!

Bare Bones Domino Set
Written by Katie on January 6, 2014. Permalink
Dominoes, anyone? Yeah, yeah, I know you're hard at work now that the holidays are well and truly over, but that doesn't mean you can't still look forward to your down time, where you'll hopefully be playing games with friends and loved ones rather than staring at a wall wondering where it all went wrong. The classic "double 6" domino set has been re-designed by The Principals (in collaboration with lifestyle brand Billy Reid) so that you'll have a pleasing shape and weight to each piece as well as a thoroughly modernized numbering system. Permission to feel smug when you bring this game to any gathering is now granted… only for a few minutes, though, don't be annoying.
Purchase Information:Price: $60.00

My boyfriend really wants to have a threesome. He tells me he loves me and wouldn't want to be with anyone else. He is sweet to me and is basically wonderful to me, but lately he's been talking a lot about having a threesome. He's never had one before (and neither have I), but I'm not attracted... Show More
Most Helpful Girl
It's a fantasy, but I don't think he's really serious about your relationship.
Tell him, "yeah, let's have a 3some...with a guy" haha.
Hey it's a 3some and that's what he wants.lol.
And if you feel like that would get you jealous, don't do it. I have a sort of 3some before and I didn't really like it because my boyfriend went off and asked my friend for more sexual favors while he was "drunk" supposedly. With a guy you surely wouldn't get jealous because you already know that you like this guy, right? But you are not sure if he feels the same about you or if he'd end up wanting to do more with this other girl. That's how I felt, and that's where jealously comes into play.
And if he's saying that you will want to someday, then do it that someday! haha not now.
It's like I want to have sex someday, (saving for marriage I decided =]), but I'm not ready now so I'm not going to now and I will when my day comes.
I wouldn't be offended, but take a step back...
Seriously mention doing it if its with another guy! (so you won't have to worry about jealous)
-I repeated some stuff, sorry =P

Hello Everyone
Herbalife has been recommended to me by a work colleague.
I have been trying to lose weight for a number of years with little success.
I tried to contact a distributor but no one came back to me.... my work colleague said you can buy the products from Ebay.
I must admit I was very dubious but have found a distributor on Ebay.
She seemed very nice and told me all about herbalife.
I explained to her that I wanted to try it first for a week or so and then decide if it is for me.
I ordered 1 x mint choc, 14 x almond protein bars, peach herbal tea and a shaker set for £50 including free delivery.
Hopefully it will be here tomorrow so I can get started on Friday.
Has anyone ever bought these products from Ebay?
Hope everyone is doing well x

Immigration reform tests U.S. character
Let's consider immigration reform. Have I lost your attention yet?
I really hope not. Even though we have a daunting array of foreign and domestic problems, if we, a nation of immigrants, fail to get this right, we are in serious trouble.
After excruciating work and negotiations, the Senate passed a bipartisan bill that included a path to citizenship for 11 million immigrants here illegally and billions more dollars for more fences and border guards (mostly on the southern border, not necessarily on the even larger northern border).
House Republicans immediately called the Senate bill dead on arrival in their chamber. They don't want 11 million undocumented people to become citizens or get government benefits. They do like the idea of spending more on border security, saying that after the border is secure, they'll decide what to do about undocumented immigrants.
They are not impressed that President Barack Obama has increased border security by 20 percent or deported far more undocumented people than his predecessor. They don't even like the Senate bill that provides for so much more money for border patrol that even some Republican senators called it "overkill."
Alarmed that his party seems unable to compromise on immigration reform, former President George W. Bush broke his usual post-term silence and urged Congress to act, insisting the status quo is not working. He also noted that an immigrant from Ireland designed the White House and an immigrant from Russia helped design the Internet search engine Google.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who negotiated the Senate bill with Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., as part of the Gang of Eight, met with Obama to try to devise a strategy to win support from those Republicans who hate government and don't want Congress to do much of anything. Obama plans to travel across the country to take his arguments for reform to voters.
But the real problem facing McCain, Schumer and Obama is that many Republicans have already stated they oppose any plan that eventually lets immigrants vote because most of them are likely to vote for Democrats. Most House Republicans represent districts with few Hispanics, so they don't worry about backlash if they kill immigration reform. Also, if Obama calls reform opponents bigoted or biased, he may lose any hope of getting something through the House.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who used to like getting things done, caved to conservatives because he needs their support to keep his job as speaker. So he bucked party elders and declared the Senate bill flawed and unacceptable, even though Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who has been considered a darling of the tea party movement, keeps warning that doing nothing is putting the GOP in political peril.
McCain said 11 million people deserve to know their future.
Businesses want immigration reform because they are losing the global battle for talent. Thousands of bright, even brilliant, foreigners come to America's great colleges and universities, are graduated and then are forced to return home instead of staying to contribute to U.S. prosperity.
In addition to 11 million undocumented people in this country, there are another 8 million who are legal residents but haven't pursued citizenship because the process is lengthy and complicated. That, too, needs reform.
Republicans who oppose a path to citizenship say they won't reward illegal behavior, especially since many others have been patiently waiting to enter the U.S. legally. Democrats who are pressing for a path to citizenship for 11 million people, many of whom have been here for years, argue that creating a class of indentured servants who can work and pay taxes but not vote is not the American way.
Boehner said he is pushing for a piecemeal approach to immigration reform. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., Budget Committee chairman and the GOP's 2012 candidate for vice president, agreed: "We don't want to rush anything."
After years of bitter debate, there doesn't seem to be much danger of that.

Andy Gabel, a four-time Olympian and former president of U.S. Speedskating, has acknowledged an "inappropriate" relationship with a female speedskater in the 1990s.
U.S. Speedskating is investigating claims by Bridie Farrell that she was sexually abused by Gabel repeatedly over several months in 1997 and '98 while both were training in New York and Michigan.
When the alleged abuse began, she was 15 and Gabel was 33.
On Friday, Gabel read a statement to the Journal Sentinel:
"Almost two decades ago, I displayed poor judgment in a brief and inappropriate relationship with a female teammate. It did not include sex, however I know what happened was wrong and I make no excuses for my behavior. I apologize to her and I'm sorry for bringing negative attention to the sport I love."
Gabel declined further comment.
Farrell, who is training at the Pettit National Ice Center in an attempt to make the 2014 U.S. Olympic team, told radio station WUWM that she had repeated sexual contact with Gabel. She said she knew from the beginning that the relationship was inappropriate.
"I knew that because he made it be a secret," she said. "But I will say that the 15-year-old thought it was exciting."
The national governing body said it was not previously aware of any allegations against Gabel, a Chicago native who spent his formative years in the sport living and training in the Milwaukee area and is a Marquette University graduate.
"Our current understanding is that it was not reported to anyone at U.S. Speedskating or the authorities at that time," the organization said in a statement. "We intend to look into this matter immediately to determine what action should be taken."
Farrell's lawyer, Jon Little, said the abuse began when Farrell and Gabel were training at the same club in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Little described Farrell as "star-struck" at the time.
Farrell said she didn't tell anyone what had happened for years.
"The first five to seven years after it happened, I was scared," she told WUWM. "I was petrified, because I was young and in speedskating and I was knocking on the door to the junior national team, then the senior national team, and I didn't want to do anything to jeopardize that.
"Then there was a period of my life when I didn't say anything because I realized I was hurt and I was broken. And it took a long time and a lot of work and some pretty dark times to come to grips with it and put myself together."
The statute of limitations for a lawsuit has expired, Little said, so there are no plans to pursue legal action. He said Farrell decided to come forward because she wanted to change the culture of Olympic sports in the U.S., something he described as a "good old boys network."
Farrell fell short of making the U.S. Olympic team in 1998, 2002 and 2006. She said the alleged abuse had nothing to do with her failure to reach the Olympics, but that it led to depression and problems with an eating disorder.
She recently returned to speedskating after a six-year absence and is making a long-shot bid for a spot on the U.S. team that will compete at the Sochi Games next year.
Farrell is scheduled to compete this weekend in the AmCup Long Track Speedskating Final at the Olympic Oval in Kearns, Utah.
The 48-year-old Gabel competed in four Winter Games - including 1988, when short-track was a demonstration sport - and won a silver medal in the 5,000-meter relay in Lillehammer in 1994. He served a term as president of U.S. Speedskating and currently is chairman of the short-track committee for the International Skating Union.
Gabel was elected to the National Speedskating Hall of Fame in 2003. He has worked as a television commentator for various short-track events and was on the NBC Sports staff at the 2010 Winter Games.
There was no immediate comment from the ISU, but International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams said, "Clearly, any allegations of such a serious nature need to be fully investigated."
This is the second scandal to hit U.S. Speedskating in six months. In September, the short-track team was rocked by athletes' complaints of physical and emotional abuse by coach Jae Su Chun and two assistant coaches.
Chun was suspended and eventually resigned.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Date of Stay: June, 2013
Breathtaking view of the greenbelt region of Vermont and the Appalachian Mountains. This campground was very accommodating and after we stayed we wished we had longer. Many things to do in the campground, canoeing, paddle boats, etc, and there was no extra cost at the time, a plus in an economy that is on the cusp of getting better. The service, campsites and view were everything and owners were a wealth of information. I highly recommend this campground.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
Regardless of the naysayers in past reviews of Cape Ann, I am going to give you an HONEST opinion and stray from the negative and pessimistic views of those who really can't appreciate the art of camping and life in an RV. The staff/owners of Cape Ann were more than accommodating by giving us two excellent sites with a gorgeous, breathtaking view of the salt marsh directly connected to the Atlantic Ocean. The sites were unbelievably located on quite a steep hill, previously mentioned in the less optimistic reviews, but with the excellent guest service of Cape Ann. We were given sites that were accommodating to our rigs needs. The service was beyond what other campgrounds give, the campground was a wealth of resources for localities and sight seeing. Wingaersheek Beach, just about a mile and a half down the road was costly but Cape Ann gives vouchers to lessen that cost. The beach is beautiful and worth a day trip. The bathhouses at Cape Ann were clean, the campsites were clean and the Wi-Fi was fast. All in all, our stay at Cape Ann left us refreshed, in awe of the east coast and the coastal towns, and we would highly recommend and give this campground a ten star rating based on our findings. Thanks Cape Ann for your love for customer service and understanding of people, it's an old school style, face to face, and it goes a long way.

I know he does not hate me, & he is attracted to me, so why does he freak out so much... I do not mean groping him or anything, just if touch his elbow by accident, or accidentally kick his foot, or brush by him as we pass... The tiniest touch & he gets Really tense? Maybe he thinks i MEAN... Show More
Most Helpful Guy
may be he is like me, and everywhere that is possible to touch tickles him O.O
i'm like that actually. hmm maybe , he usedto get annoyed tho when we were making out if I got ticklish I guess because it would ruin the mood. maybe he is and he does not say anything because its not manly to be ticklish- omg mabe you are right. I asked this quetion a while and weve been together since, but he stil holds me kind of away while we are 'together; its very strsange. but like he won't shake hands either- hell have sex but he won't shake my hand. I meant he's willing to , not that we did
Maybe that's why he holds me away from his stomach when we kiss & uses harder pressure rather than gentle, so I'll do the same & MAYBE that's why he pushed my hand away even tho he said it felt good lol
itd be good if you are correct. what do you do if people touch you?
Most times when people touch me I jump up in the air!
other times I just sort of spaz out :D

Chas Freeman, Before and After 9/11
11:21 AM, Mar 7, 2009 • By MICHAEL GOLDFARB
Martin Kramer quotes Chas Freeman, in 1998, explaining al Qaeda's rationale for violence:
And then he quotes Freeman on the same subject in 2004:
Kramer explains, "the difference between them is 9/11, when it became the Saudi line to point to Israel's conflict with the Palestinians as the "root cause" of the September 11 attacks....if the National Intelligence Council and its products are to earn the respect of the American people, the NIC director cannot be suspected of ever having deliberately twisted the truth into something else for our consumption, especially on a crucial issue of national security and at the behest of foreign interests."
Another Freeman quote Kramer digs up: "What 9/11 showed is that if we bomb people, they bomb back." Is that the kind of analysis that Freeman will bring to the National Intelligence Council? And who did we bomb to deserve that lesson?

El Exito Group
Maria is a member of the communal bank. In the photo above, she stands fifth from the left and is wearing a white vest and green shirt, with her dark brown hair tied up.
She has been working in charcoal sales for the past four years. She also sells sunflower seeds and ice cream. She has a small business in her house and works from Monday to Sunday. She arranges her schedule according to her availability.
She buys the merchandise and supplies she needs from a business in front of her house at a low cost, so that it is financially convenient.
With this loan, she will buy charcoal and sunflower seeds.
One of Maria's goals is to continue in this field and grow daily, in order to generate more income and have a better quality of life. She lives with her husband and her two children, ages 14 and 22. Her dream on the business level is to grow her business and sell other types of merchandise in addition to what she currently sells. In terms of her family, her dream is to provide a good living for her family.
She is very happy and grateful for the opportunity to invest in her business which has been granted to her by Fondo Esperanza. She also feels very comfortable with the group, because they are united.
Linares is an important urban center in the region of Maule, located in the central area of the country. In this area, agricultural production is very important, as well as wine growing, especially for export. Some important crops are grains (rice, wheat, corn, and oats), vegetables (beets, cabbage, lettuce, chard, and legumes), and fruit. Linares is the main province for the production of rice in Chile. In fact, 78% of the national rice production takes place in this province, especially in the town of Parral.
Marta, integrante del grupo del Banco Comunal, quien en la foto se encuentra de pie, ocupando el quinto lugar de izquierda a derecha, viste chaleco de color blanco y blusa de color verde, su cabello lo usa tomado y es de color castaño oscuro.
Ella se dedica a la venta de carbón, desde hace 4 años. Comenta que además vende semillas de maravillas y helados, tiene un pequeño negocio establecido en su casa y trabaja de lunes a domingo y su horario lo distribuye de acuerdo a su disponibilidad.
La mercadería e insumos que va necesitando los compra en un negocio que se encuentra al frente de su casa encontrando la mercadería a bajo costo, por lo tanto conveniente económicamente.
Con el crédito comprará carbón y semillas de maravilla.
Una de las metas de Maria es continuar con su rubro y crecer dia a dia, así con esto generar mayores ingresos y optar a una mejor calidad de vida.
Maria vive junto a su esposo y dos hijos de 22 y 14 años de edad. Sus sueños a nivel laboral crecer con su negocio y poder vender otro tipo de mercadería además del que ya vende, y a nivel familiar darles un buen pasar a su familia.
Ella está muy contenta y agradecida de la oportunidad brindada por Fondo Esperanza para invertir en su negocio. Además se siente muy cómoda con el grupo que participa, ya que son unidos.
Linares es un importante centro urbano de la región del Maule, ubicado en la zona centro del país. En esta zona se desarrolla de manera importante la producción agrícola y también vitivinícola sobresaliendo en el ámbito de las exportaciones. Destacan los cultivos de cereales (arroz, trigo, maíz y avena), hortalizas (remolacha, repollo, lechuga y acelga y legumbres) y frutas. Linares es la principal provincia productora de arroz, en Chile; de hecho, el 78% de la producción nacional de este cereal se da en esta provincia, especialmente en la comuna de Parral.
Additional Information
About Fondo EsperanzaFondo Esperanza (FE) is a private non-profit organization that supports entrepreneurship by providing micro-credit and training to people living in poverty in well over 100 cities throughout Chile. By providing these services, FE aims to improve the living conditions of the entrepreneurs and their families. In 2010, FE provided loans to more than 41,000 entrepreneurs. It utilizes a communal banking model in which groups of 18 to 25 clients meet on regularly and guarantee each other's loans. The members use their portion of the loan to create or expand their own businesses. In the group meetings, clients receive training though the FE Entrepreneurship School, which enhances clients' personal and business skills and ability to work in groups.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Goldman Sachs & Co. GS, +1.06% was fined $1.5 million to settle Commodity Futures Trading Commission charges that it allegedly failed to supervise its employees for several months in late 2007. Last month, the CFTC disclosed that a former Goldman employee hid an $8.3 billion trading position. The CFTC said that Goldman lost more than $100 million unwinding the position.

I've noticed that people tend to respond to digital art here more often than traditional art, so I decided to do a little digital piece which is something I rarely do.
All comments are welcome

All comments are welcome
nice and dark man...sweet work...i like it...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
Thank you for the kind words and for responding...I appreciate it.
The fact that you used the iron man to make a digital painting of seems to work really well! A lot of digital artwork feels very "controled" to me. I think it's perhaps that the brushstrokes feel the same in so many different areas. So with that in mind and the loose line work... WITH the subject matter (a comic character), it seems to come together to me very well. I can't seem to find any real crit for it. The top of the pic looks good for a title or logo, for the front of a comic book.
iron man feels too sketchy for me. I would define his arms and thigh more by showing more of the anatomy. no crit on the painting itself, u have a nice technique.
Bowlin - I agree with you on how digital art can look very controlled. Actually that is mostly why I don't do that much digital art. I really like traditional art and I love art that has that human quality to it.
patdzon - I felt that I should have defined the arms and his thigh more too, I guess I just got bored looking at my computer and drawing. One main reason rendered this piece with a sketchy style is I like "battle damaged" armor, so I didn't want Iron Man to look like he just washed and waxed his suit.
Once again, thanks for the comments.
i like his "you want soma this?" attitude. he must be preally pissed off to be bending his metal face plate like that. i love his face. nice job
- Kinjark
I really like the light streaks.
If i shoot the J then its "Good"
please hit up the SKETCHBOOK
Thanks to everyone who has either viewed and/or responded to this piece...I appreciate it.
I'll admit that Iron Man is my favourite marvel comic hero by far, and I am totally psyched that the movie is in production!! finally...
having said that, the "cheekbones" , or the indents on the cheeks don't work for me- but, I am feeling the anger and emotion in this piece.
overall, its not bad

TripAdvisor Reviews Hotel Monte Taxco
Travel Blogs from Taxco
Acapulco. Once one of the world's most famous and popular resort destinations, the pretty coastal city is now mainly only visited by vacationing Mexican families (and, apparently, us). Acapulco has seen its share of gruesome gang violence in recent years, and as with many other places in the country, there are regular government protests happening in the streets. It is also still picking up the pieces ...
Welcome to HasBeenVille
... been dubbed the most violent city in the world. That title has been shrugged off recently, and the tourist rush is back on.
There are really 2 sides to Acapulco - Antiguo and Nuevo. Antiguo is the old city, where it used to be the hot international destination. But as it started to get overcrowded with the riff-raff (backpackers and tourists like me), the elites moved elsewhere. They moved down the bay and built it up to a degree that you ...
Sailing down the Mexico Coast
Today we spent the day sailing down the coast of Mexico. From our map, we are off the coast of Acapulco. No port stops today as we are heading to Guatamala, which takes two nights and two days sailing to arrive. The waters are very calm and the sailing very smooth. We are both very relaxed and Johnny is enjoying the variety of foods on board.
Taxco, the Silver Town
... we done for the day. We then had another hour and a half to kill before leaving so a big group of us hiked up this steep hill to a bar that some of them had found earlier that was playing the Packer game. We didn't get to watch much of the game, but it was still cool to say we got to cheer on the Packers from Mexico in 70 degree weather drinking coronas outside when that was clearly not the case in Wisconsin with negative degree ...
I was expecting Acapulco to be overrun by Americans but apparently the resort had bad press a few years ago so the Americans and Canadians now head to Cancun and Playa Del Carmen. It seemed quite a safe place to me. This is probably helped by the fact that the Mexican Presidents two daughters are currently in the town. Armed police are very ...

Q&A: Dana Holgorsen on Alabama, new faces and the Sugar Bowl
Q&A: Dana Holgorsen on Alabama, new faces and the Sugar Bowl.
You want Bama? You got 'em.
Dana Holgorsen's West Virginia team will meet up with Nick Saban and the No. 2 Crimson Tide, who as owners of a two-game losing streak, figure to be a particularly disagreeable band of red-robed marauders.
What's it like preparing as a 25-point underdog? What'd he learn from Alabama's late-season failings in 2013? Holgorsen took some time out for Fox Sports Southwest on Thursday, a little over a week before the season begins.
Note: Portions of this interview were edited for length.
What are a few of the things you've learned about your team in fall camp so far?
Dana Holgorsen: There wasn't nearly as many unknowns as there have been in the past couple years, just because we've got so many guys coming back that have got experience. They're familiar with the system on all three sides of the ball, got a lot of guys coming back. We're not relying on too many new guys to get out there and play. We learn something each and every day, but there were a lot less unknowns this year. I feel good about that.
So what are some of the questions you've got about your team with a season a week or so away?
DH: Oh, probably the same as everybody who's going into a new year. Just because it's a new year, you can have guys coming back and the same schemes on all three sides of the ball and every team still has different dynamics. You've got to wait and see how continuity goes, you've got to see how guys develop from one year to the next. We're learning about the chemistry in the locker room and who's stepping up and who can play at a higher level.
What are some of those things you've learned about chemistry so far?
DH: I don't think you can truly figure that out until you get under the gun. You've got to get them into games and the old adage of you're not going to figure out about your team or make any improvements until you start playing games. I believe in that. Like probably everybody else in football this time of year, you kind of know about about your team, but not technically know which way they're going to head until you get into live competition stuff. I feel good about how guys are working, though. We're still in preseason mode right now and have maintained a ton of health and developed depth, but how highly they can perform has yet to be determined because they haven't played in an actual game yet.
Who are a few guys who maybe weren't major contributors a year ago that you're excited to see get a shot in a game?
DH: Offensively, Rushel Shell has played well. I'm anxious to see him in a game-type situation. Shelton Gibson is a guy who's got talent that we haven't seen in a game situation yet. Shaq Riddick (a transfer from FCS Gardner-Webb) is a pass-rushing guy that's done some good things for us. Edward Muldrow is a linebacker that has shown some twitch and can do some things. Dravon Henry is going to be a good player for us. How he responds when the lights come on, we're anxious to see. I'm not saying those guys had the best camps of anybody on our team, it's just those guys haven't played a game in a West Virginia uniform before and they had good camps and we're excited to see them.
Did you know Riddick before he came to you guys or how did that come about?
DH: He's from Akron, which is relatively close to here up in Ohio. I think he drove close to Morgantown when he was on his way back to Gardner-Webb down in North Carolina. So I think going from North Carolina to Ohio, he was able to drive through West Virginia a little bit, so I think that had been on his mind, wishing he was able to play here.
Is there a difference in the team when you prepare for a game like this against Alabama vs. when you open with an FCS team, or is that overstated?
DH: Yeah, I think there's a difference. It doesn't change anything we do coaching-wise or preparation-wise, how we practice or what we talk about. It doesn't change any of that, but starting in January, our guys walk by the game schedule on the wall or in the weight room or posted online. They always look at the schedule and they always look at who the first game is. Subconsciously, I think we've got a lot of work, a very motivated group and understand that we're playing one of the best teams in the country. I think it increases their attention and their work ethic through the entire offseason, but from a coaching point of view, it doesn't change anything.
How would you describe the environment in camp when you prepare for a game like this vs. your other experiences at OSU or Houston or Tech when you maybe didn't open with a marquee game?
DH: Probably more motivated, higher intensity workouts. I'm a big proponent of big neutral site games to start the year off. If you look at our schedule or our future schedule, we've scheduled games like this against quality opponents at neutral sites. I think it's great for college football and for the fan base. It gives them something to look forward to during the 7-8 months they're not able to think about football. In addition to that, the overall motivated team as far as getting good work in the offseason, I do think it subconsciously affects that as well.
How often do you broach the odds or things like being a big underdog with your team?
DH: We don't talk about that. They know we're facing a quality team. They know we're facing a team that's won national championships here recently and throughout the course of the last 80 decades as well. It's not something we have to talk about, whether we're big underdogs or big favorites, you've got to try to reach them and prepare for the best and prepare to put your best foot forward. We know it's going to be a challenge. I don't have to talk about that. The work's been good. We're going to be motivated knowing we've got a challenge ahead of us.
So you don't really try to tap into that "Us against the world" mentality and insulate the team? Maybe you're not talking about it explicitly, but is there an air of that sometimes?
DH: I think the more you talk about it, the worse it can probably be. I don't know, sometimes we reach them, sometimes we don't. Sometimes we take the right approach, sometimes we don't. What we've got to lean on as coaches and try to figure out as coaches is how can we best prepare our team in practice and prepare for what we're going to see in a game.
When was the first time you put in Alabama game tape?
DH: As a staff, we're just getting into that right now. We've caught our kids going into the film rooms watching it over the course of the last month. It's been on their mind more than it's been on our mind as coaches. We've got to develop depth charts, implement our schemes offensively, defensively, special teams prior to when we can focus on an opponent. I don't think anybody starts camp and starts focusing on one opponent. Throughout the course of the year, you only get one week to prepare for an opponent, so I think you can overkill that if you're not careful. We finished camp and focused on all three sides of the ball and this week started school and started slowly implementing what our game plans are going to be.
How many times do you think you've watched the Sugar Bowl from last year?
DH: Well, they played 13 opponents last year so we've watched each and every one of those and we'll obviously be doing what everybody else will do, which is try to figure out what our plans going to be on all three sides of the ball, not just offensively, match up some opponents to get some idea of how people attack specific schemes and sides of the ball.
Do we focus on some games more than others? Yes, but whether that's the Sugar Bowl or that's game one, that's between me and my staff.
How many coaches do you reach out to during the offseason to glean some insight when you go into a season opener like this, whether it's idle chatter or intentional conversations with coaches who have seen Alabama more often?
DH: That definitely happens. That happens everywhere with all the coaches. Whether it's coaches getting together trying to improve their schemes or coaches getting together trying to attack the schemes opposite that side of the ball. It happens. The extent of it, maybe it happens more for opening games because you have more time to prepare for that opening game. My experience with it has been, we try to get together with different offenses during the offseason to try and find ways to make our stuff better and then if you happen to cross paths with guys who can help you trying to prepare for schemes you play in the first game, so be it.

"If the Taliban severs its ties and its support of al Qaeda and wishes to participate in the Afghan political system peacefully like other groups that came in, which had fought each other and fought other groups, they're welcome," Mr. Holbrooke said.
This tension between anti-war fervor and passion for women's rights has caused some on the left to argue that women are not really all that better off now than they were before U.S.-led forces drove the Taliban from the capital in Kabul months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
"Women are not being protected now by the insecurity and the violence," said Medea Benjamin, executive director of Code Pink, an anti-war feminist group. "Many women we talk to say they don't feel safer by the presence of U.S. troops. They feel scared by the presence of U.S. troops."
But Melanne Verveer, the Obama administration's special envoy for global women's issues, told Congress recently of dramatic progress of educating women in Afghanistan.
"In 2001, only 1 million Afghan children were enrolled in school, and all of them were boys; the education of girls was banned. Today, approximately 7 million Afghan children attend school, of which 2.6 million, or roughly a third, are girls," Ms. Verveer said. "Whether these numbers continue to grow and the ratios equalize will say much about Afghanistans future."
Carol Yost, with the Asia Foundation, added that women now hold 68 out of 249 seats in the lower parliament, though she added that voter registration among women was down to 38 percent for the August election, compared with 42 percent in the 2004 election.
"Women are mobile, certainly in the urban centers and not as much in the rural areas," Ms. Yost said. "Health indicators have improved. Women are able to work in the workplace."
Some Democratic leaders acknowledged that the Taliban's record on women's rights complicates the wishes of liberals who do not want an increase in U.S. troops.
"In a very general way, I will concede that when you add American troops to a problem, it usually gets better and that that creates some tension on this," said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, Rhode Island Democrat.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, Michigan Democrat, disagreed.
"If we do the wrong thing and have too many combat troops, we'll play right into the hands of the people who want to put them back into the Dark Ages," he said. "The Taliban uses our Western footprint as a way … of trying to dominate their country, and we shouldn't play into their hands."
Faiz Shakir, a blogger and research director at the Center for American Progress, agreed.
"You have to start with the question of whether our presence is fueling the Taliban's resurgency," he said. "If your answer is yes, then our occupation is imperiling the future for women in Afghanistan."
A study released in September by the London-based International Council on Security and Development reported that the Taliban has a "permanent presence" in 80 percent of Afghanistan, up from 72 percent in 2008 and 54 percent in 2007. It defined "permanent presence" as an area where there is an average of one or more insurgent attacks, lethal and nonlethal, per week.
Mr. Inderfurth, however, said that in a country where the gun is still the most powerful form of influence, the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan at this point would be disastrous for the nation's women.
