Thank you for the excellent theme, Anthony. Not only does the theme look great, in my opinion you've set the standard for how to comment a theme's PHP and CSS. It's very easy to work with.
I'm new to WordPress, so if this question isn't in the appropriate forum please let me know. I've also searched for anything Quark and WooCommerce related, and I couldn't find anything other than your comprehensive review of the WooCommerce plugin in 2012.
I'm building an e-commerce site using Quark 1.2.5, and I'd like to use the WooCommerce plugin 2.0.14. When I activated the plugin it warned me that the theme wasn't compatible. They linked to their documentation on how to change the hooks in a theme so that the plugin doesn't break the style of the theme. This is the code they recommend putting in the functions.php page to unhook their wrapper (see original documentation at http://docs.woothemes.com/document/third-party-custom-theme-compatibility/):
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woocommerce_output_content_wrapper', 10);
remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_main_content', 'woocommerce_output_content_wrapper_end', 10);
Followed by this code to hook the theme's wrappers:
add_action('woocommerce_before_main_content', 'my_theme_wrapper_start', 10);
add_action('woocommerce_after_main_content', 'my_theme_wrapper_end', 10);
function my_theme_wrapper_start() {
echo '
';
function my_theme_wrapper_end() {
echo '
';
They say to look at our theme's page.php to reference the correct mark-up for our theme's ids and classes. So, looking to Quark's page.php, I'm wondering if this is the correct edit to the code to make it work in Quark:
Change
 to

then change
 to

then put the code snippets in functions.php.
I understand this may be a question for WooCommerce, but I thought I'd ask you because I figured you'd know if the "wrapper" they're referring to is
...
.
Again, thanks for the excellent Quark theme.
Best Regards,

Given an irregular polygon and a point within that polygon, how do I determine which edge in the polygon is closest to the point?
I will likely have to run this calculation for a large set of points within the polygon (e.g. 50-200 points).
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Given an irregular polygon and a point within that polygon, how do I determine which edge in the polygon is closest to the point?
I will likely have to run this calculation for a large set of points within the polygon (e.g. 50-200 points).
Each step of this algorithm is linear time (O(n)).
Here are the basic formulas for each of the steps:
Calculate closest point on the line that is tangent to each edge of the polygon.
Calculate closest point on each line segment (edge of the polygon) to the point in question.
The point
Calculate the distance from the closest point on each line segment to the point in question.
Find the minimum distance. The corresponding polygonedge with the minimum distance is the answer.
Here is a diagram to help you understand what the points and terminology in this post represent:
The right answer depends on the bigger-picture structure of the problem: what happens when you take into account multiple queries? I assume that each query will deal with a different point. But what about the polygon? Do you expect to receive multiple queries for the same polygon? Or each time the polygon is different?
If each query is applied to a different, unpredictable polygon, then the only solution you have is essentially the total inspection of all polygon edges with point-to-segment distance testing for each one. It can be optimized in various [heuristic] ways (to discard the unnecessary tests early), but in the worst case there's no way around the full test.
However, if you expect some kind of predictability and stability on the polygon side of the problem (sufficiently many point-queries to the same polygon or to a fixed set of polygons), then the situation changes dramatically. The best approach in this case would be to pre-build the edge-based Voronoi diagram inside the polygon(s). Then you can solve the point-location problem (for which there are known efficient algorithms) in order to determine which Voronoi region the query point falls into. That will immediately tell you which edge is the closest.
The latter is incomparably more efficient when you need to handle many point-queries to the same polygon(s), but requires quite an effort to implement. So, it all depends on what kind of solution you need.
P.S. I see that you state in your question that your are going to run it for a large set of points for a single polygon. This immediately makes the Voronoi-diagram-based solution the way to go. Extra nuances of the algorithm might depend on whether that large set of points is entirely known in advance or arrives point-by-point in unpredictable way.

The women of Sex and the City may be getting older, but they've "never been better," according to the movie s star Sarah Jessica Parker.
The 45-year-old actress reprises her role as writer Carrie Bradshaw in the sequel, due out in theaters May 27. She and costars Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall – who play Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha – didn't need to act like they were having fun on the set. They really were having fun.
"We four women, despite I guess what a lot of people hope, have never been better," Parker tells Vogue in its May issue. "This movie – and maybe it's because we actually lived together – it was the best! We were together all day long, at night, in restaurants, in our hotels. It was wonderful."
It doesn't matter that the characters, like the actresses, are aging. They approach getting older the same way they approach everything else: with humor.
"Samantha was always the older lady, so she's 52 now and talks a lot about what comes with that – including menopause – says Parker.
Despite being such a superstar, Parker finds a way to be a normal wife (to actor Matthew Broderick) and mother (to son James, 7, and 10-month-old twin daughters Tabitha and Loretta).
"We painted our patio furniture ourselves I make my children's food myself," she says. "We do a lot ourselves! We do our own grocery shopping I do my laundry."

Celine Dion will host a CBS holiday special spotlighting adoption.
The "Loved Me Back to Life" singer will also perform during the 15th annual "A Home for the Holidays," along with Ne-Yo, Chris Young and others.
The special will introduce families and the children they adopted from foster care. Among them is Nicole and Fernando Capaccang, a Los Angeles couple inspired to act after seeing last year's program, and a young man who lived in 11 foster homes before a Washington woman adopted him.
There will also be a segment called "Children Waiting," drawing attention to kids currently living without permanent homes. According to the Department of Health & Human Services, there are about 400,000 children in foster care in the U.S.
Presenters of "A Home for the Holidays with Celine Dion" include the Children's Action Network and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. The late Wendy's founder was himself adopted as a child and established the foundation in 1992.
According to CBS, celebrities are expected to make appearances during the broadcast, introducing families and sharing their own experiences with adoption and children's charities.
The hour-long special airs Dec. 18 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

Skip to comments.Obama: Im Not Going to Take Your Guns Away
Posted on 09/05/2008 2:32:16 PM PDT by neverdem
The Obama campaign talks a lot about new ideas and expanding the political map, but in the swing state of Pennsylvania, which the campaign has focused on almost exclusively since the Democratic convention, old-school issues still rise to the fore.
The latest example came Friday during a small political event at SCHOTT North America Inc., a glass factory in Duryea, Pa., where even a hand-picked crowd threw Barack Obama a curve ball.
A woman in the crowd told Obama she had heard a rumor that he might be planning some sort of gun ban upon being elected president. Obama trotted out his standard policy stance, that he had a deep respect for the traditions of gun ownership but favored measures in big cities to keep guns out of the hands of gang bangers and drug dealers in big cities who already have them and are shooting people.
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.wsj.com ...
Damn straight, stringbean.
He will redefine "big city" to any city over 2 people.
Obama lies about everything, just as Reverend Wright predicted he would, "saying what he has to to get elected." He has an extensive record of hostility to Second Amendment rights and will sign every gun-grabbing bill delivered to his desk by the leftwing Democrats running Congress.
The McCain campaign and the NRA need to publicize these facts as broadly as possible.
Of course not, he's going to send out his people to do it. He's not stupid.
Translation: any firearm less than 4 feet long, caliber greater than .30, or fires more than one shot without reloading.
How about the bullets?
I'm not going to take your guns away. I have underlings that will do that for me.
Now pay your taxes and have a nice day.
ONZ, he really did say that! What a clutz!
Whenever a politicians say, "I am not going to do X to you.", complete his thought by stating, "NOT!" The fact that he brought up this issue without any external stimulus means that he must actually be planning on doing EXACTLY what he says he is not going to do.
So yeah, maybe Obama himself won't take our guns away, but he'll appoint judges who will.
...I will however take away your religion... You guys are so bitter...
Translation: I'm going to try my hardest to take your guns away.
"...gang-bangers and drug dealers ...who already have them and are shooting people.
Just how exactly does a gun ban work on felons who already possess them illegally? Someone help me understand.
First true thing he's said in quite a while.
And, Mr. Obama....What about this Civilian Army?? We're the Civilian Army!!!.... And what symbol will you use to distinguish them from a policeman?
He still doesn't get it.
Now there's a convincing argument, Barry. And I suppose you'll also respect us in the morning...
The NRA has already earmarked a chunk of money to go after Obama. The lifetime member Palin on the ticket now they'll likely earmark more.
Yeah. I don't get these big city folk. Why don't they want guns to defend themselves from all the criminals who live there?
YEP. Damn Straight!
woman in the crowd told Obama she had heard a rumor that he might be planning some sort of gun ban upon being elected president. Obama trotted out his standard policy stance, that he had a deep respect for the traditions of gun ownership but favored measures in big cities to keep guns out of the hands of gang bangers and drug dealers in big cities who already have them and are shooting people.
So according to obama the United States Constitution was designed to be operated and used differently in the Cities from the countryside and from Montana and New York? Funny I never saw those sections when ever I read the US Constitution.
Never believe this zero. As with all socialist he will remove as many guns from the people as he can get away with. Its what they do.
Well ok that seems reasonable to me. /s
So what measures might The One enact to keep guns out of the hands of gang bangers and dope dealers who ALREADY HAVE THEM?
What a dope.
My thoughts exactly, when I saw the title.
Bet your sweet ass you're not!
Good one. He is beyond clueless but that's what happens when you're raised by Rev. Wright and the Chicago political machine.
"Im not going to LEGALLY take away your guns.
There, now he's telling the truth. And frankly, few gun bills actually take guns away; they just make it more of a headache to own them, which is still illegal.
They will trust him even less after those words.
Im Not Going to Take Your Guns Away...
...because I'll order the BATFE and National Guard to do it - sheesh, what'dya think, that I'd get my hands dirty doing anything? Oh, and in addition, I promise that I'll do everything humanly possible to regulate, restrict, increase the cost and inconvenience of, and limit transportation of all guns, ammo, ammo components and magazines. And no more imports. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Molon Labe!!! Come and get them! http://moviesonline.ca/TheFeed/index.php?id=300-laydownyourweapons
He will have someone else do it.
If Hussein had had time to think about it, or rather if his people had thought about it before this comment was delivered someone would have realized that this negative formulation would not allay concerns and might just raise the angst quotient a tad.
Blah, blah, blah. Liar.
'I'm not going to take your guns away'...thus sayeth the Lord.
Those communists always say "we won't take them away. We'll just apply 'sensible' regulations, which effectively takes them away."
I am starting to think he is going to turn out to be a bigger fizzle than that comet Kohoutek way back when.
No, he get's it, alright. It is you who don't: that man will say or do ANYTHING to obtain power, and once he obtains it, he'll do ANYTHING to preserve or increase it...starting with degrading the power of the people to forcibly resist the tyrannical dictates that he plans to shove down our throats. He DOES get it - if we have guns, he can't do everything he wants.

Here is a big problem with Barack Obama; he knowingly associates with terrorists, radical pastors, and those being investigated for felony financial crimes.
First there is William Ayers who Obama served with and did speaches with between 1999 - 2002. In 2001 (on Sept. 11, 2001 to be exact) the New York Times printed and interview with Ayers on his days as a Weather Underground leader. In the interview Ayers states he does not regret bombing police stations, the capitol, and the pentagon and that he would not rule out doing it all again. Yet Obama never denounces him and the group he is a paid leader for gives money to Ayer's wife's orginization.
Then there is having a man like Rev. Wright as your mentor and naming him to your campaign. He did a 30 minute speech supporting him and refusing to denounce him; until.... his polls took a hit. Then and only then did he distance himself from the radical preacher. The man is a nutcase and Obama only seperated himself from him to save his campaign. He says our government gives the black man the drugs, our government invented HIV to eradicate blacks, etc. Nutcase.
Then there is Rezko, the Syrian born scum lord and felon who helped Obama buy property in Chicago. Obama accepted this even though there was multiple stories in Illinois about the investigations into Rezko. Obama later called it a boneheaded mistake. Yes it was, like many others.
And then there is the fact that his childhood mentor was a known member of the communist party of the united states, a fact Obama now admits.
Any single man with this many associations with people of such terrible backgrounds a serious problem is who he surrounds himself with. That is a major stumbling block for him to overcome.
What a dumbass statement which turns out to be a warning to every gun owner in this country! With him behind the wheel, the entire democrat congress and senate would be orgasmic in their opportunity to enact overwhelming and comprehensive gun control laws and bans........
I think he proposes to cut off their hands--- some kind of muslim deal.
Of course he wont. It would be kind of hard to since were all clinging to them.
He'll just limit ammunition through serial numbers, or give control of ammo to the EPA or make it a health problem and turn the problem over to the Surgeon General. No reason to go to Congress, just make some rules at the administrative level and enforce them.
This guy is lying through his teeth.
And by the way, it sounds as if the wheels are starting to come off the old campaign. Even the handpicked participants are beginning to rebel.

Last Year: (6-4, 1-3) District 12-3A
Coach: Jason Heath (6-4) 1 Year
Last Postseason Appearance: 2010 DII Bi-District Finalist
Players to Watch: QB Ty Chapman, LB Sean Kyle, OL Austin Watkins, DB Joesph Lopez, OL James Kemp, LB/RB Issac Armijo, DL Jeremy Gee, DL Alan Segura, OLB Kory Sanchez, LB Isaac Olvera
Preview: The talent returning has Heath excited about this 2nd season at Anna. All-district LB Sean Kyle provides the leadership and OL Austin Watkins will be a tough load on the line. QB Ty Chapman will need to emerge as a leader for the Coyotes to take the next step.
The Coyotes jumped out to an early 6-2 record last season, but once district action started the freefall came. It will be another tough battle with Melissa and Bonham getting better.

A manager must decide which type of machine to buy, A, B, or C. Machine costs are as follows:
Machine Cost
b $30,000
Product forecasts and processing times are as follows
Processing time per unit
Product annual demand a b c
1 16,000 3 4 2
2 12,000 4 4 3
3 6,000 5 6 4
4 30,000 2 2 1
A) assume That only purchasing costs are being considered. Which machine would have the lowest total cost, and how many of that machine would be needed? Machines operate 10 hours a day, 250 days a year.
B)Consider this additional information: The machines differ in terms of perating costs. The A machines have an hourly operating cost of $10 each, B machines have an hourly operating cost of $11 each and C machines have an hourly operating cost of $12 each. Which alternative would be selected, and how many machines, in order to minimize total cost while satisfying capacity processing requirements?

Playing Up to the Entry: Open Symmetry
"The open picket fence is really an extension of the informal architecture of this bungalow. Rust-colored finials pick up the home's trim, while all the greenery complements the home's olive accents. Having bright perennials spill out in front of the fence is a fun, unexpected touch that complements and softens the pickets and posts, which frame the entry year-round. The design lets passersby enjoy the garden from the curb—a friendly gesture that entices people into your home."

How to say: O. Obasanjo
A guide to words and names in the news, from Martha Figueroa-Clark of the BBC Pronunciation Unit.
"Today's pronunciation is Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo.
"Our recommendation is ol-OO-sheg-uu(ng) ob-ASS-an-joh (-ol as in 'olive', -g as in 'get', -j as in 'Jack'), following consultation with the BBC Hausa Section."

Its all a little bit academic dont you think?
- 2.
- At 02:06 PM on 11 Aug 2006,
Yes. But how do you pronounce "Figueroa-Clark "
- 3.
- At 01:55 PM on 12 Aug 2006,
Not wanting to split hairs , but the Hausa service isn't the best place to consult on how to pronounce a Yoruba name. There are thousands of Yoruba living and working in London, and I'm sure if you checked, you'd even find some working at the BBC!
And as to whether it was academic or not, I bet Craig and Ian would be surprised if a major foreign broadcaster regularly mispronounced the names of leading English public figures

Strange. I saw him taking his oath of office on TV, and I remember hearing s, not sh, and the stress on the last syllable in both words. But maybe I confused stress and tone...
- 5.
- At 10:24 AM on 27 Oct 2006,
Funny bizzare, the Hausa service is definitely NOT the place to learn pronounciation of Yoruba names - phonetics are totally different. In same way as cockneys and glaswegians do not pronounce alike! C'mon Beeb - like Oj says, talk to your staff with Yoruba heritage & they'll come up with the goods!

Rated 5 / 5 stars
very fun
something is wrong with the accuracy, most of the time when i try to hit them when they stand still, i still have to aim in front of em :s
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Great shooting game. Background's a bit poor, but soldier and aim movement are almost perfect. Great menus and options, specially Delta's who are tough mothers (until their health results unbelievably low). Thank you and keep up the good work.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
i got to wave 38
i used the used a pistol tell i saved up enough for the
ak74u uprgraded that to max
then switched to the ak47 maxed
and used airstrike at the first sign of a vehicle
and healed every round
i got to round 38
my aim started to slip hence me getting rapped
Love the game tho
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Heretic tips
1. Don't use deltas after wave 30, at best. They die fast.
2. Stick with one gun only.
3. Repairing is the first priority.
4. Use glock at first.
5. Aim the weakpoint, especially those trucks.
6. Don't buy stashes of grenades. Their best use is to wear trucks and suits down. Apart from that, they are pretty useless.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Neat Game
pretty nice game. i got to wave 32 after trying it over and over. i didnt get the delta sniper this time around though. the last other couple of games, iv been using up my money on snipers, and really they arnt worth it as to low health. so instead i invest it into airstrikes. pretty strong for only 5k. but my only real complain is that the air strikes takes a bit long for them to come when u REALLy need them. since the enemy tends to swell up together all at once, they can virtually take u out in seconds before ur airstrike can come and help you. other then that i love the aiming system. abit hard, but more realistic when u look down the sight of REAL guns (when moving around your site tends to look like it "Sways" just like in the game). snipers would be pretty awsome to have in the 2nd part of the game, if you were ever to make it. and have a zoom in function, so we can hit the weak spot easiers on the enemy. maybe has more specials? tanks support, heli support, bomber support, or being able to hire more men including a barricade fuction with some def. oh and speaking of defence, later in the game the black hawk gets taken down way to easy when there are too much enemy. so a barricade as a shielding would be awsome. but other then that, it was an awsome game and surly have kept me busy for the past 2 hours. keep up the good work =D

Lucas County needs a new jail, and the only way that gets done is if the county and Toledo learn to work together.
Group steps up fund-raising efforts across area.
The 1884 courthouse would have been the crown jewel for Tiffin if they had better officials (June 17, "Bonds being sold, groundbreaking set"). Now they are going to have an overpriced big-box courthouse with a clock tower.
The press regularly deplores the state and nature of political campaigns. But campaigns are not bad indicators of what sort of mayor, governor, or president a candidate will be. If someone running for mayor is volatile or detached as a candidate,
Toledo could be facing a Flint-type lead poisoning crisis and not even realize it.

RICHARDSON - Canyon graduate Lindy Lombard of Midwestern State was named the Lone Star Conference North Division women's player of the year on Monday.
Lombard, a 5-foot-9 junior, was named the division's player of the week three times during the regular season. She led the Indians in scoring (15.9 average) and in free-throw percentage (79.7).

Crum says all's quiet concerning coach search
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Retiring Louisville coach Denny Crum said Monday "nothing has happened" in the search for his successor despite speculation that Rick Pitino was interested in the job.
Crum retired last Friday, ending a 30-year Hall of Fame career. Pitino, who coached Kentucky to the 1996 national championship, withdrew his name from consideration for the Nevada-Las Vegas job late Sunday.
Pitino told ESPN.com on Monday he had not been contacted by anyone at Louisville. His agent, Rick Avare, who lives in Lexington, did not immediately return a phone message.
Crum said at his retirement announcement he wanted to help in the search for his replacement, but Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich said minutes later that he would act as a "one-man search committee." The two have developed an icy relationship since January. Jurich refused to comment on the search Monday.
OU football, softball teams visit White House
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush saluted the University of Oklahoma's national champion football and softball teams at the White House on Monday, urging them to set good examples as role models.
The president posed for pictures with both teams and mingled at length, but the celebratory room fell silent when Bush faced questions from reporters about Vice President Dick Cheney's health.
Mazeroski, Dick Williams could get shrine call
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Bill Mazeroski and Dick Williams both could find plenty of career highlights to put on a Hall of Fame plaque. Today they'll find out if they get a place in the shrine.
"I absolutely deserve to be in there," Williams said last week. "I think I've earned it."
Williams was one of only two managers to guide three teams to the World Series. Mazeroski, a defensive whiz who hit one of baseball's most famous home runs, was not so blunt.
"It may never happen for me," he said.
Gil Hodges, Dom DiMaggio and Marvin Miller are among the other candidates being considered by the Veterans Committee, down to 14 members because of Ted Williams' recent open-heart surgery. It takes 75 percent - 11 votes - for election.
The Vets can pick up to four new Hall of Famers, one from each of four categories: former major leaguers, Negro leaguers, 19th century players and personnel, plus a composite of managers, umpires, executives and Negro leaguers.
Ohlmeyer quits `Monday Night Football' again
NEW YORK (AP) - For Don Ohlmeyer, one year back with ABC's "Monday Night Football" was enough. Ohlmeyer, who presided over a near-total revamp of the NFL's top telecast that put comedian Dennis Miller in the broadcast booth, resigned Monday, three days short of the first anniversary of his return.
"I had a terrific time this year producing MNF, but I just could not continue to put myself through the stressful traveling that goes with the job," Ohlmeyer said.
Ohlmeyer, 56, produced the show in the 1970s during the glory days of Howard Cosell, Don Meredith and Frank Gifford. ABC president Howard Katz rehired Ohlmeyer last March 8.
Bail posted for Camacho on cocaine charges
NEW YORK (AP) - Boxer Hector "Macho" Camacho was released on $5,000 bail Monday after his arrest at a Manhattan nightclub on charges of cocaine possession.
Camacho remained in the New York City area, attorney David S. Zapp said. Camacho, born in Puerto Rico, grew up in East Harlem.
The boxer is due back in court Friday.
Police with a search warrant raided the Latin Palace in East Harlem early Sunday and arrested Camacho, 38, and 12 others on drug charges.
Hereford-ex Rampley lands honor at UT-SA
Hereford graduate Julie Rampley of Texas-San Antonio has been named to the all-Southland Conference women's basketball team as a member of the second unit.
Rampley, a 5-foot-11 junior forward who was a basketball and volleyball standout at Hereford, is averaging 10 points per game for UT-SA going into the conference tournament today. She leads UT-SA with averages of 6.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game.
She has led the team in scoring nine times this season and has led in rebounding 17 times. She has played both guard and forward this season.
Picked to finish 11th in the league, UT-SA has made one of the biggest turnarounds in women's basketball this season. UT-SA is 15-12 after finishing 7-20 last year.
Amber Prose, who transferred to UT-SA from Seward County College in Liberal, Kan., received honorable mention to the SLC elite squad.

I've tried this widget, and every now and then it works beautifully. But for some reason, most of the time the widget never shows up on the page, instead showing "Caught exception: couldn't connect to host." I've tried this with multiple Facebook pages, so it doesn't appear to be a problem with any one specific page.
Any idea what the problem might be? The most puzzling thing about it to me is that it sometimes DOES work, showing the events just fine. So I know I've set up the widget correctly, it's just that most of the time it doesn't manage to connect.

natural still life by hibbaryWatch

At the end of the semester, we got to pick out our own stuff to paint, and of course I had to run outdoors and gather up all the sticks and leaves and crap I could find. This was the last painting I did in the class. Jeez, when was that? '02 or '03, I think. I dunno. I'm a forgetful bastard. XD My teacher was this silly guy named Ron. He was pretty fun. He said he wanted to get inside the skull and crawl all around. O__O
art teachers are always funny and interesting in that weird way no?
If you look at it in small view- It looks like a clown. He has a bald white head, Red nose, a blue shirt, the acorns look like buttons on his shirt, the hoe handle looks like an arm, and the end if the hoe looks like the bottom of his shoe. Well, that's just how I see it.
~den den
~den den
your teacher makes me laugh
interesting objects, nice colors. I like the composition a lot.
this is really intriguing. it kinda reminds me of an old poster i have somewhere, though really it's nothin like it. i like this
good job looks like a pro-painting! Well of course you must be a pro!
It looks os real!^^
I really like the skull.
that's so awesome! I wish we got taught art at school - I take art but we have to teach ourselves how to paint - we really don't get taught ;-;
That's very nicely done!
I love painting Sheep-type skulls! Go You!! Did you find the skull with the sticks and leaves?
that's really awesome! you're so talented!
Great stuff, it's so well done!
You know, if you tilt your head to the side, it kinda makes the shape of a clown.
.....Or that could be me. Clowns scare me. I see them everywhere. *Looks around shiftily*

And crawl all around? I just peed my pants. That's one of the funniest things I've ever heard. XD
Awesome painting. I cannot paint for dillweed.

"My teacher was this silly guy named Ron. He was pretty fun. He said he wanted to get inside the skull and crawl all around. O__O"
Jeez, until I full viewed it I thought it was a photograph. I was a like "Painting? She LIESSSSS!"
whoooooooo perty! Very nice!
You made this from running outside and grabbing stuff? That's funny. It's a very good painting, nice for perhaps a living room? ^^
Hahha...inside the skull and crawl around.
Wow...that is damned beautiful! Excellent work, indeed! =^_^=
OOh, that's really nice... I like the skull, very well done...
That's extremely well done! Wonderful and realistic! That's so great!
Sounds like something my painting teacher would say. She says some pretty weird thing, l think once she said that the paint looked so good "you just want to lick it" or something... But when she gets really excited about painting (and she does get really excited) she just loses the power of speech completely, and trails off into this rapturous state where she can't even vocalize anymore. She's fun though.
And get inside it you did!! HOLY CRAP its AWESOME!!!!
How come cow skulls are popular with art teachers. Ours is making some of the class members draw one XD
Please tell Ron, the next time you see him, that he scared a guy on the Interweb.
o.O My favourite part would be the sticks. Very impressive work. Bah, I wish I'd had at least one cool art teacher in my life... you're lucky. I dropped art class mainly because of the teachers.
The sticks were the first thing I did, which means that I wasn't quite bored of the painting yet. XD Were your art teachers really so horrible? O.o; I've only had... one or two that were a little neurotic and I didn't particularly like them, but most of them have been very nice. I wonder why you've gotten all the rotten ones. >_>; *rhymes strangely* Mebbe you should come to SIUE And be a metalsmith! XD My metals teacher is the best ever!
When I first saw it I thought it was a photo XD
wonderful! Hardly anyone uploads their classwork, it's something I'd love to see more of. I really like the skull :3
wonderful! Hardly anyone uploads their classwork, it's something I'd love to see more of. I really like the skull :3
Wow, done so long ago yet still so awesome! You've got amazing skill, this looks really really great! I like how you used white to make that shiny stuff in the center, and the skull looks very realistic and yet stylistic in the way that you used the paint. Very cool.

Kawarau River Station, on the northern face of the
Remarkables mountain range, has been on the market since last
November and attracted hundreds of inquiries from
international and national buyers.
However, no satisfactory offer has been made to owner Steve
Laing, Ray White Queenstown agent Bas Smith says.
''Unfortunately time has passed and the owner is now working
with his lender and Ray White Queenstown to take this
outstanding property to mortgagee auction.''
Mr Smith says two offers, from Christchurch and United States
interests, have been received.
Both were under valuation ''but not significantly''.
Mr Smith revealed the property has been valued at $12.5
million and $16 million, the latter reflecting its status.
The first mortgage is held by Heartland Bank and the second
mortgage by an Auckland-based private lender.
''They want it sold,'' Mr Smith says.
''There's obviously enough debt there for them to be
concerned that the owner hasn't got the ability to cover
Mr Laing bought the former Cone Peak Station when it was in
pastoral lease in 1995.
Four years later, through a tenure review process, he
freeholded 1825ha and surrendered 1262ha of mountaintop to
the Crown, including parts of The Remarkables Ski Area and
Doolan Basin.
The farm, bounded to the north by a 14km stretch of the
Kawarau River, grazes cattle and red deer on 190ha of river
terrace and, in the past, merino sheep in the high country.
Mr Laing's business interests extend to boat-building and
hospitality and he has owned bars in Frankton and Wanaka. His
Wanaka Ale House company was placed in receivership last year
by Bank of New Zealand.
Kawarau River Station will be auctioned on July 4 at Ray
White Queenstown's offices, at 2pm.
Mr Laing could not for contacted for comment this week.

This was my first Thanksgiving to stay in the city, and my first time to watch the parade in person. I went out on Wednesday night to try and see the balloons get blown up, but the crowds were crazy and I quickly lost interest. Thursday I was lucky enough to have an amazing vantage point at 69th and CPW (thank you SO much, Liz!) to see the parade. Since we sat still the entire time, GPS worked but isn't very exciting. I did get a little camera-happy, so here is the parade pretty much play-by-play. The first few pics are of Central Park as we walked over. The colors were amazing.

Well the reason why those anti-United wankers spend so much time on our board is because they're insecure and scared. They're jealous of us and afraid we'll hit form and finish above their clubs and win the title. PS totally agree with you that form is temporary while class is permanent, so we shouldn't be too paranoid abaout our team. GLORY GLROY MAN UNITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
