What's in a Name
Although Eve is generally believed to be Adam's first wife, some scholars believe that this honor actually goes to a woman named Lilith who was thrown out of Eden because she refused to be subservient to Adam.
Name Dropping
Some names from the Bible are more familiar and common in their Anglicized versions, such as Rebecca instead of Rebekah. Use whichever appeals to you – a more traditional spelling will make the name more uncommon but won't affect the pronunciation.
- Abigail: "Father is rejoicing." Abigail was a wife of King David.
- Deborah: "Bee." Deborah was an important prophetess and judge.
- Delilah: "Delicate." Also the name of Samson's mistress. She cut off all his hair and rendered him defenseless in the face of the Philistines.
- Dinah: "Judged" or "vindicated." She was a daughter of Jacob and Leah.
- Esther: From the Persian word for "star". Esther was the wife and queen of Ahasuerus who saved her people from the evil Haman.
- Eve: "Life." The name of the first woman in the Bible.
- Hannah: "Gracious" or "full of grace." Hannah was the mother of Samuel.
- Jemimah: "A dove." She was the first of Job's three daughters.
- Judith: This name is the feminine form of the male name Yehudit, meaning "He will be praised." Judith was one of the wives of Esau.
- Leah: "Gazelle" or "wild cow." Leah was the oldest daughter of Laban and became Jacob's first wife.
- Michal: "Who is like God?" Michal was the first wife of David, who cast aspersions on him after she saw him rejoicing in the streets following his recovery of the ark of the covenant. The resulting division in their marriage is what is believed to have kindled David's desire for Bathseba.
- Miriam: This name is thought to mean "bitter" or "rebellious," although no one knows for sure. Miriam was the sister of Aaron and Moses.
- Naomi: "Joy" or "delight." Naomi was the wife and mother who lost her family; her story is told in the book of Ruth.
- Rachel: "Ewe." Rachel was the younger daughter of Laban, who was also given to Jacob as a wife.
- Rebekah: "Noose." Rebekah was the wife of Isaac and the mother of the twins Esau and Jacob.
- Ruth: "Friend" or "companion." Ruth was Naomi's daughter-in-law, who took care of her after the death of her husband and children.
- Sarah: "Princess." Sarah was the half sister and wife of Abraham.
- Tamar: "Date palm." There are two Tamars in the Bible: one was a daughter-in-law of Judah; the other was a daughter of King David.

The prostate: a guide for men and the women who love them
The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1995 - Health & Fitness - 322 pages
This year, 200,000 men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. An even greater number will seek help for problems caused by prostate enlargement and inflammation. This book is for them--and for the wives, sisters, and daughters who often take responsibility for educating men about health matters and encouraging them to see a physician. Written by the world-renowned Johns Hopkins surgeon who devised the new, nerve-sparing surgical procedure for treating prostate cancer (generally known as the "Walsh procedure") and an award-winning medical writer, here is an accessible and authoritative resource about the three most common prostate disorders: prostate cancer; benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH, commonly known as enlarged prostate); and prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate). The good news of the book is that effective treatment--and relief of symptoms--is available for all of these disorders. It's especially good to know that prostate cancer, when caught early, is curable. By alleviating men's fears about treatment and assuring them that many men can lead normal, active lives after prostate surgery, the authors hope to encourage men to seek medical attention for their prostate problems and help them to understand the options that are available.

Portland School District hiring teachers
Superintendent Carole Smith proposed adding more than 50 staff positions to Portland schools this school year to address immediate needs in schools. The added staff positions are intended to help reduce class sizes and teacher work load, bolster athletic programs and support other key efforts to improve outcomes for students. The proposal is based on updated budget figures that show healthier than expected reserves, as well as the expectation of improved state K-12 funding next school year.
The Portland school board affirmed the proposal and supported immediate implementation of the plan. The superintendent asked the board for informal direction on whether to proceed so that staff could be provided to schools as soon as possible. The school board will formally vote on a budget amendment later this year.
For the current year, the school district's available resources have grown by approximately $16 million. The increase is based on utility savings, reduced PERS costs, under-spending, higher than forecasted local option revenue and an increased federal technology reimbursement.
Under the superintendent's plan, the school district would add $6.5 million for schools to the current 2013-14 budget. Among other additions, these funds would support:
• The equivalent of more than 25 new full-time teaching positions to reduce class sizes at over-crowded K-5, K-8 and middle schools, and maintain the kindergarten class size target of an average of 25 students or fewer. These positions will also help reduce student loads for high school teachers and ensure that all high school students have the opportunity to take a full course load of 8 classes.
• Additional classified staff at 68 schools (equivalent to 34 classified FTE) to reduce teacher workload by providing additional classroom support, engaging parents and relieving teachers of playground, bus and other duties.
• Additional career coordinator capacity at ten PPS high schools, including Alliance, to support career learning (equivalent to 5 classified FTE).
• Matching funds for a grant that added 6.5 PE teachers to serve 9 elementary and middle grade schools.
• $900,000 to improve safety and access in high school athletic programs by supporting additional trainers and funding transportation costs for high school teams and supporting freshman and junior varsity coaches.
• Support to facilitate student demonstration of essential skills, by adding capacity to evaluate work samples for seniors.
• A new teacher-on-special-assignment to coordinate and support arts curriculum for arts teachers, including the 46 FTE arts teachers funded by the City arts tax.
• Continuation of 8 mentor positions for more than 130 new teachers, by matching a state grant.
Superintendent Carole Smith said, "Every year that a student is in school is an important one. As our enrollment rises again and our budget picture improves after years of cuts, we want to bring class sizes down for our students this year and bring more support to our classroom teachers. The additional funds state leaders have allocated to K-12 schools gives us confidence we can sustain these positions next year."
Even with these program enhancements in schools, the school district currently estimates that reserve levels for the 2013-14 year will increase to more than 6 percent when the board votes on the amended budget later this year.
PPS entered the 2012-13 school year with 3.5 percent in reserve, only slightly above the minimum required by school board policy. That year, more than $7 million in reserve funds helped close a $27.5 million budget gap.
The 2013-14 school year represents the first time in 5 years that PPS has not had to use reserves to fill a budget gap.
In the special session last week, state leaders approved an increased allocation of $100 million to the state school fund for the 2014-15 school year, as well as PERS cost reduction measures. The legislature directed school districts to use the funds to hire more teachers and other school staff and increase instructional time.
PPS anticipates receiving approximately $8 million next year from the added K-12 funds. How the school district uses the funds will be determined by the superintendent and the school board, based on community and staff input early next year.
School board member Matt Morton said, "We know we still have additional needs in our schools. Tonight's proposal helps us respond to our most immediate school needs, based on what we're hearing from parents, teachers and the community. We want to do everything we can to lower class sizes, add learning time and improve results for all students, both in the current school year and next year."

Massac County, Illinois
The Kincaid Mounds Illinois Historic Site consists of 105 acres at the heart of the Kincaid Mounds Archaeological Site. Portions of the Archaeological Site extend to private property north and east of the Historic Site. The State property has been designated a National Historic Landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places of the United States. The Kincaid Mounds Support Organization is a local non-profit corporation that manages the site under contract with the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. At present, public access is limited to an observation/interpretation platform adjacent to Kincaid Mounds Road (see Location icon on this page). The goals for the Historic Site include preservation of the archaeological resource, facilitation of research, and interpretation of the site to the public.
Between 1000 and 700 years ago, the first people to practice large scale agriculture in the southern Illinois area established Kincaid Mounds as the seat of their Chiefdom. These Native Americans were of the Mississippian culture
and occupied Kincaid from approximately 1050 AD to 1400 AD.
They were ruled by a chief who inherited his position and
probably claimed power from the sun. Corn or maize farmers
in the lowlands along the Ohio River
from Hamletsburg upstream to Brookport downstream supported
the leaders with grain and constructed the mounds we see
today. They also constructed the buildings and the
protective wall or palisade that encircled the principal
mounds, but which we now know only from the archaeological
The mounds are raised platforms on which
the Chief and other elite leaders of this society lived or
ruled from, and on which thatch-roofed homes, ceremonial
buildings, and temples were constructed. The mounds were
built in stages over a 350 year period by stacking basket
loads of selected soil and clay material one on top of
another. They stand today much as they appeared 700 years
Visitors to the site will see flat-topped
30 foot tall mounds arcing around the leveled plaza area.
This plaza was probably the most important public place in
the Chiefdom. It was used for both social and political
activities. Here the chunky game was played and major
ceremonies were held, including purification rituals and
celebration of the new corn crop The Plaza may have had a
ceremonial pole in or near it where trophies of war were
displayed for public observation.
Kincaid has played a major role in the
development of modern American archaeology. From 1934 until
1944 the University of Chicago excavated here and developed many
of the methods that became the basis for much of today's
archaeological practice. Southern
Illinois University is actively continuing
archaeological studies at Kincaid and continues to add to
our knowledge of this outstanding prehistoric site.

By Jessi Loerch Herald Writer
Last year, I sat in Enchanted Valley in the Olympics while my 2-year-old spun circles in the dirt of our campsite.
She giggled constantly until collapsing in a heap, puffs of dirt billowing all around her. I needed to set up the tent on her dance pad, but I just waited and watched.
After the 13 miles in from the trailhead with her and my share of our gear on my back, I was slumped against a log.
Hazel, however, had plenty of energy. She used it to get as dirty as possible while dancing, looking for bugs and throwing rocks in the river.
Before my daughter was born, hiking and backpacking were my favorite activities. After she was born, I worked to bring her outside as much as possible. She went tent camping when she was 6 weeks old. She has been hiking and camping countless times and on multiday backpacking trips twice: once to Enchanted Valley and once to a short section of the Wonderland Trail on Mount Rainier.
Kids are brilliantly adaptable. I've read amazing accounts of families trekking the Pacific Crest Trail or kayaking in Alaska with toddlers. While I'm not that adventurous, I am determined to share my love of nature with my daughter.
I've put together some of the tips and tricks that have worked well for us over several years of backpacking and hiking with a small child (my daughter will be 3 soon).
I'm mostly focusing on ideas that will allow you to go outside with very small children, but many will also work for older kids.
Find a baby carrier that you like and use it. Use it a lot. You want your kid and yourself to both be comfortable.
There are many options out there. Once your child is old enough, usually about the time they can sit up, find a carrier that allows your baby to ride on your back. You'll have much better balance and your hands will be free.
I love my Ergo carrier because it allows you to carry your child on your front or your back. If my daughter was really fussy, bringing her around to the front usually solved the problem.
Once my daughter was older and heavier, we bought an actual backpack that distributed her weight more easily and allowed me to carry the tent and some extra gear, too.
Get out regularly. If you use your carrier often enough, your child will learn to sleep in it. This makes longer trips a snap.
Kiddo sleeps while you hike and gets down to play when you stop.
Bring easy to prepare food. Make sure you have lots of snacks that don't require heating. Tuna packets and tortillas were a winner for my daughter.
For hot meals, we love Thai noodles. They cook fast, are lightweight, and Hazel will always eat them.
If your baby is breastfeeding that will be easy enough, just make sure you drink a lot of water. If you feed formula, powdered will be lighter. Make sure you have a reliable water filter.
Bring special treats. Once my daughter was old enough to walk well, she would often object to getting back in the carrier after our stops. She wanted to walk on her own.
In these instances, I dropped my objections to bribing and enticed her with a piece of candy. It worked like a charm.
If your kid likes books, consider bringing an e-reader. We have one of the older, black and white Kindles. For the weight of a single book, you can bring as many books as you like. And you're not stuck reading "Curious George Goes to the Zoo" 800 times.
Pack many layers for your child. Invariably, something is going to get wet and you'll want backup. Things are also going to get dirty.
But really, blueberry stains on a shirt don't matter when you're backpacking. Make your peace with dirt. Your kid is going to be a mess. Don't fret about it.
Get creative about sleeping arrangements. My husband and I have mummy bags that zip together. We leave the top zipper mostly unzipped and cover the gap with a small blanket and dress my daughter warmly on cold nights. Our body heat helps keep my daughter warm, and we don't have to carry a separate bag for her.
Make a plan for diapers. For my trips, we have packed disposable diapers in and out. Deal with solid waste as you would your own, using wilderness toilets or properly burying it.
If you leave wet diapers in the sun, some of the moisture will evaporate making them lighter to carry out. Be sure to bring a heavy-duty plastic bag for this job.
Cloth diapers are also an option, mostly for longer trips. Be sure you have a plan to wash them without contaminating water sources. Check online for ideas.
Also, check out diaperfreebaby.org. We followed its suggestions loosely, and my daughter was out of diapers by the time she was 2. That makes outdoor trips loads easier.
Bring baby pain killers. You may not need them, but if teething pain hits, you'll be glad you have the Tylenol.

On Poetry
A Great Stag, Broad-Antlered: Rediscovering Hyam PlutzikBy Edward Moran and Phillip Witte
A great stag came out of the woods,
Broad-antlered, approaching slowly on the moonlit field,
And looked about him like a king and re-entered the dark.
The seismic shifts in American culture since 1960 have made footing precarious indeed for those broad-antlered poets who wrote in a hieratic and philosophic diction. Eschewing the more vernacular excursions of the Beats or the confessional poets of the 1970s, Plutzik published three full collections of poems, the last, Horatio, an eighty-nine-page dramatic poem in which Hamlet's friend grapples with the charge to "report me and my cause aright."

Advent is the beginning of the liturgical year; in the Christian calendar, each year finds a new start on the First Sunday of Advent. As structured in Roman Catholic practice today, the season begins with a focus on the end of time itself, then it takes us to a specific time when John the Baptist was preaching that end—the coming of God's reign and the arrival of the messiah who would introduce that reign. Finally, it directs us to what is, from a Christian perspective, the hinge of all history: the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, son of Mary and Joseph, son of God (see Introduction to the Lectionary for Mass, 93).
Our current season, therefore, serves as a bridge between the two celebrations of Christ's coming—his coming in time, celebrated in the Christmas Season, and his return at the end of time, celebrated especially at the end of the liturgical year, from about the Solemnity of All Saints and especially on the Solemnity of Christ the King. So even though Advent comes before Christmas in the calendar and is usually thought of simply as preparatory to Christmas, it is not merely a pre-Christmas season. In fact, Advent is a bridge that connects our celebrations of Christ's two comings: a reminder that the fulfillment of Christ's reign that we anticipate is rooted in the historical fact of the incarnation. The readings and other texts reflect the bridge character of this season and so should our music.
The music of Advent stands in marked contrast to the music of the television specials, school programs, and community concerts that dominate this time of the year. The music of Advent, like the Scriptures proclaimed in this season, evokes a rather different variety of images and feelings: judgment, longing, repentance, hopefulness, and expectant joy. Here are some suggestions for preparing the music of Advent.
Keep It Simple. Use simple settings of the acclamations and other unchanging parts of the Mass.Consider using simple—perhaps chanted and/or unaccompanied—musical settings of the Kyrie, Alleluia, Sanctus, Mystery of Faith (memorial acclamation), Great Amen, and Agnus Dei. Simple and direct music for these texts can help the community enter more deeply into a spirit of preparation and waiting.
Keep It Familiar. Choose familiar melodies with strong texts that express the various themes of Advent, especially for the entrance and Communion processions.Choose a few songs that can be used on more than one Sunday and that can be sung year after year. Nothing says Advent more than the tune of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel." The words too, although drawn from texts intended for evening prayer in late Advent, nonetheless express themes that permeate the entire Advent Season. Because this hymn has many stanzas, different verses could be selected for different Sundays. Some other songs to consider include "My Soul in Stillness Waits" (especially on the First Sunday of Advent); "On Jordan's Bank" (especially on the Second and Third Sundays of Advent); "Christ, Be Our Light"; and "Conditor alme siderum" ("Creator of the Stars of Night" or "O Lord of Light").Advent is remarkably short: Choose wisely!
Keep the Introduction. Prepare a sung introductory rite that can be used throughout the season. In conjunction with the presider and parish planning team, prepare an introductory rite that evokes a spirit of simplicity. Presiders might restrict the opening invitation to one or at most two simple and direct sentences with a longer than usual pause for silence. Consider preparing a simple setting of the act of penitence (form C), with the deacon, cantor, or choir singing the invocations, followed by a sung collect. The Book of Blessings calls for the Advent wreath to be blessed after the homily on the First Sunday of Advent then to be lit before Mass begins on subsequent Sundays. If the Advent wreath will be lit during the liturgy, it should be done simply. The sense of expectation and preparation is heightened by a simpler than usual entrance rite.
Keep It Moving. Plan music for the season with an awareness of the season's movement. Advent begins with a focus on the final coming of Christ, continues with a proclamation of his presence among us now, and concludes with a remembrance of his coming in history. Some texts are suitable for one or two Sundays but not for others; for example, "Wake, Awake"on the First Sunday and "On Jordan's Bank" on the Second and Third Sundays. Using the responsorial psalm appointed for each Sunday also helps the community to enter into the movement of the season.
Keep It Advent. Let Advent be Advent and Christmas be Christmas! Advent is a season of preparation for Christmas. We should no more think of singing Christmas carols or having Christmas concerts and programs during Advent than we would think of singing Easter hymns and having Easter concerts during Lent. Why not schedule Advent Lessons and Carols in early December, then Christmas Lessons and Carols on one of the Sundays after Christmas?
The repertoire of liturgical music for Advent is rich and extensive. Careful, thoughtful choices can help our communities to enter into its spirit in the midst of sounds that summon them not to bypass this important time of preparation.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
On the weekend, Kim Son's carts carry an average of 70 dim sum items. Don't miss the velvety eggplant stuffed with shrimp paste, mushroom-capped meatballs, Chinese broccoli, golden-fried turnip cakes, slurpy rice noodle rolls, cylinders of shrimp paste wrapped in seaweed and deep-fried in tempura batter, pork dumplings with quail eggs inside, or the sweet taro roll covered with almonds. But wait, you say, dim sum is Chinese, so how could the best dim sum in Houston be served at a Vietnamese restaurant? "I was born here in the States, but like the owners of Kim Son, my family is Chinese-Vietnamese," explains Andy Troung, the manager of the Stafford location. "Chinese people ate dim sum all the time in Vietnam. So eating dim sum in a Vietnamese restaurant in Houston makes perfect sense to Chinese-Vietnamese-Americans like me."
Kozy Kitchen opened in 1946, during the era of segregation. Back then, it was one of many Fifth Ward barbecue restaurants for blacks. The brisket is juicy and tender here, and the beef links are the best in the city. But it's the veal that makes this place worth a detour. The veal sandwich is stuffed with a large pile of meat that includes a little of the spicy black coating from the outside and long strings of juicy veal. You can sprinkle it with the homemade hot sauce that's out on the tables, but don't forget to put your thumb over the cap and shake the bottle first. Kozy Kitchen's sandwich combo plate comes with your choice of sides. Go for the potato salad, it's the extremely soft style known as mashed potato salad, and it's made with pickle relish and mustard. The Fifth Ward's historic black barbecue joints were the unwitting victims of integration. Kozy Kitchen is the last one left.
Bibim means "mixed" and bap means "rice" in Korean. So bibim bap means "rice hash." Bibim bap is all the rage lately because it's light and healthy. And the Green Pine Tree is the place to eat it. Their version includes carrots, zucchini, cucumbers and sprouts, all of them marinated in a ginger dressing. The idea is to dump a bowl of hot, sticky rice over the cold vegetables and a raw egg yolk, then add some of the fiery Korean pepper paste called kochujang and stir it all together with a long-handled spoon. The egg yolk, the hot sauce and the marinade from the vegetables combine to form a lovely salad dressing. And the combination of hot rice and cold vegetables creates an exciting contrast. At the Green Pine Tree, you can hide away with your bibim bap in one of a half-dozen private dining nooks, or combine it with a fish course in the neon-lit sushi bar.
Everyone goes on and on about Krispy Kreme, but its down-home vibe feels a little bit forced now that the chain is taking over America. So why not go for the real thing? Christy's Donuts on the corner of Montrose and West Gray is a Houston institution. You can't miss its very ugly yellow and red sign out front -- but hey, that just gives the place charm. Inside you'll find a friendly staff offering up a plethora of tasty treats -- everything from apple fritters to chocolate glazed. We recommend the Bavarian filled doughnuts -- in a word, dee-lish. A dozen is less than five bucks, and the coffee, hot cocoa, juice and soda are reasonably priced, too. Once you've got your goodies there's no reason to leave. Christy's offers seats and tables where you can enjoy your breakfast. Yes, the chairs are made of a bright yellow plastic that matches the sign out front, but nobody goes to Christy's strictly for the decor.
Don't ask the bartenders at the Davenport if they have any suggestions, or you'll be drinking Barbie's Bathwater before the guy next to you makes his first move with his silicone date. Luckily, you don't need to ask for help, because the drink menu at your fingertips offers a long list of hilariously named cocktails. Where else can you find drinks like Duck & Run, Antarctic Blast, Keke D and Bloodied and Bruised? And with more than 50 different kinds of vodka, along with all the other usual liquors and mixers, each drink is as unique as its name.
To name a drink is to love a drink. Harvey Wallbangers are for old geezers, Sex On the Beach is not all it's cracked up to be, and having a Screaming Orgasm is what life's all about. But why not just say it like it is? A rainy night at The Boat at 3 Cheers produced this dizzying little number made of vodka, Southern Comfort, Galliano, orange juice and sloe gin. Keep your old-fashioneds, Exploding Irish Car Bombs and Sex with an Alligator -- we'll take a Slow Comfortable Screw Against the Wall every weekend we can manage.

I felt I had to post this thread because of a number of dreams I've had in the past few weeks...dreams I never wrote down regrettably but I did post one here that I had back on
August 4th.
This was before I knew the MTV VMAs were going to be here in NYC...
A disturbing feeling woke me up this morning.
It was early for me on a Sunday...7:22am exactly. My eyes just opened up like they would if I heard a noise or someone was standing nearby. I started to get anxious and had a bad gut feeling like something ominous was looming.
I had a dream but it faded quickly when I woke up...
just remember a scene in Times Square with people preparing for some kind of outdoor concert. I only remember the word BLIND and some group like The Beatles were going to appear.
I was the only one awake so I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't do it. I started praying...rebuking whatever was there that made me feel so uneasy and almost scared. After what seemed like forever, I finally dozed off.
Maybe it has to do with this terror alert and the concern for the Gulf lately...I don't know. Before I tried to post my latest thread, my husband and older son got sick earlier this past week. I had to deal with my younger son and basically just didn't have time to myself to breathe. It has been a rough summer so far.
By the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, I can only hope He will provide the strength we need to get through these times.
Just putting this out there...let's see what this week brings.
Last Wednesday 8/21
, I dreamt of George Clooney in a tux. I was congratulating him on an award that he won and the number 50 appeared. After looking up his profile, I saw the one Oscar he won was for Best Supporting Actor for the 2005 film
NOTE the poster here with George Clooney's eyes prominently covered!
Then last Thursday 8/22
, with no idea about the Syria chemical attack that happened (the day before?), I dreamt of being in a cave and seeing these children paralyzed and up against the cave walls like statues. I was walking with a Middle Eastern boy who had a sheet draped over his shoulders. I felt that he couldn't speak or understand my English when I spoke to him and thought he was severely autistic or suffering from some neurological symptoms. The whole time I was weeping quietly as I led him out of the cave and into a city. There was a line of FEMA-type buses parked on the street, as if they were waiting for children like him.
Then this morning (8/25)
, I had another dream about working in a nursery ward with many babies. I walked over to one of the babies, another dark-skinned boy and picked him up. He was probably a month old and was cute and chubby. Suddenly, I saw a closeup of his face and it was huge. His eyes started to sink in so deep in his head that the outline of his skullbone showed up! Soon after, I saw his hands and they too shriveled into his arms, which looked like stubs afterwards. I was jolted awake from my kids right after that part so I wonder what could've happened next. It was very disturbing to say the least
With the Syria chemical attacks and then a story featured on Daily Mail about the THIRD generation Agent Orange children in Vietnam, I was already nervous and wondering WTH is going on!

Then I see the
MTV logo for the VMAs
and started to research on the
weird mound-shaped object
on its side. What stood out for me was the X on the right eye...
It's a split 1/2 version of the Mickey Mouse-inspired character called 'Companion', created by Brooklyn-based graffiti artist Brian 'KAWS' Donnelly.
MTV VMA Moonman Reinvented By KAWS
The 2013 MTV Video Music Awards are coming to Brooklyn, and the borough's most influential artist is helping them feel right at home.
Internationally famous artist and provocateur KAWS has redesigned the VMAs' Moonman award, giving the silver spaceman his first facelift in 30 years.
And for a guy who's reinterpreted everything from Mickey Mouse to the Michelin Man, not to mention worked with top brands like Nike and Marc Jacobs, taking on the Moonman was an opportunity he couldn't pass up.

It appeared at the 2012 Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade...
Lady Gaga, who is opening for the VMAs tonight, has been promoting her single Applause...not only with a landmine mask but also these John Lennon-type glasses that reminded me of the
Three Blind Mice rhyme.
Then I discovered a new tattoo she got back on August 9th, above her left elbow...
squid oo dot com/lady-gagas-tattoos
The strangest thing...
it's a MOUSE with an X-shaped bandage over its eye!!
It is dedicated to her younger sister Natalie...with the letters
written with the thread (see pic in montage).
So the focus has been very much on the eyes...and deformities as well as body parts...
and the ability to SEE or GO BLIND...is THIS the key?!
The skull-n-bones of the KAWS mouse is reminiscent of Skull & Bones 322...
the Bushmaster 223 (322) rifle at Sandy Hook...
then Gaga's ARTPOP is connected to KAWS' artwork...

im always right..you will realize this soon.
im always right..you will realize this soon.
warning:i am not responsible for your stupidity.
I just started putting up stickers around my area, It's just a USPS sticker that says FLA and says flask inside the A. is it good or will people say its shit and i should just write the full name?
Because I'm awesome like that. I'm also wearing a suit.
Anyways, yeah the last thing I posted was for the Decent battle, 2 weeks ago. I don't post any illegal shit, because it'll probably hit me later. As for sketches, I'm just working on progressing and doing a lot of simples, and I see no point in getting crits for a bunch of sketches that all look the same.
Im in toronto, and My closest graffiti shop is the bombshelter (166 spadina ave) and i wanna pick up like 2 or 1 sakura solid streakers' where can i get one in toronto without ordering?
thanks in advanced. i really wanna try these out.
i did this piece for a corner liquor store that im going to do legally but im not sure what colors to paint it
the store itself is painted a beige color, any ideas?
Hit me up if your from da Bay Area/San Francisco Area
momma on the phone askin if im still trappin
lmao, why are you going to paint that ugly, shitty ass 'piece' that is the store's logo, illegally on the store itself. what is the purpose of that?
still, it's fucking weak.
stot, you think you're hxc cause you have a radioactive symbol as your avatar? that's cute.
nah, i got cigs as my avatar because they're my favorite brand, and i actually smoke. you, sir, do not own, nor use, anything radioactive.
oh, you can. i'm just laughing at the stupidity of it. the dots don't connect simply because your simple mind fails to put two and two together.
Empty Cans' new avatar is dope as fuck.
Camels suck.
Either way, they both cause cancer. Haha.
Outta' respect I smash wack toys; put 'em out their misery and send 'em to that upper room. Knock! Knock! Who? Death, mothafucka'! BOOM!
Before I bang, I go and get high, homey.
