Are you already an NP? Why are you moving to Texas?Jan 17, '07Hello, gizmo12,
I moved your thread to the Texas forum. Hope NPs there will respond.
Good luck.Jan 19, '07I'm also curious to know. I'm considering enrolling in a RN-MSN program to become an ACNP. I've looked at the BON website in the statistical information and saw that there are only 3 ACNPs in Travis county(Austin), none in the surrounding counties, and 9 in Bexar County (I think that's San Antonio). Is that an indication of the job market for ACNPs? Or is the specialty too new to tell?
In the statistical info I've also noticed a decent amount of FNPs in these areas with WHNPs in a distant second.Jan 20, '07Gizmo, I am a nurse in Austin and can say there are plenty of opportunities for NP or PA. UT health center employs about 10 NPs and are always looking for more, Seton hospitals in the area all use a ER provider company to staff ER, and they do use the mid levels. Also, I see lots of ads in the paper for PRO MEd and doc n a box type offices as well as specialties looking for NP. I have two private docs I see and both have NPs. I think the salaried ones make around 100K, give or take a little. Hope that helps, check the austin american statesman online and check the SUnday healthcare ads, there are usually NP jobs posted.
ERDudeJan 26, '07What's an ACNP? I'm a nursing student and still learning what's out there in the nursing world. I live in Austin and the are NPs everywhere. Many are being educated right here at UT's program.Jan 27, '07What's an ACNP?
Here's the link to the statistical information on the Texas BON site.ftp://www.bne.state.tx.us/06-apnnp.pdfLast edit by Broombug on Jan 27, '07 : Reason: Link didnt work the first time. Sorry.Jan 27, '07Thanks Broombug for the link. Those statistics are very interesting. I'm surprised there aren't more of all types of NP in austin. I am just starting my ADN program but have my eyes set on being a NP down the road. I hope you like Austin, most people do. Good luck!!!!Jan 27, '07Oh, by the way, we call it A&M. In your case, you'd say "A&M at Corpus". Just helpin' ya get started on the local dialect.

I put into words today something I've always known about my music listening habits but had never been able fully explain before (I think).
I enjoy music that showcases either
the passion of the singer for the song (not his or her own voice), the
work/art of the songwriter, the natural ability of the musician, and any
combination thereof. What I don't (or perhaps can't) enjoy is music
that showcases the vocal gymnastics of the vocalist or the hipness of the producer.
Now, I understand that those can cross sometimes. Hip producers can
work with a fantastic and artistic band, and vocally gymnastic divas (of
either gender) can fully deliver the breadth of a powerful song.
I also understand that sometimes a bad singer can deliver a powerful
song (as my wife would say about Bob Dylan), or a woefully hip producer
can ignore the intent of the songwriter and ruin what was an impactful
I also know that my tastes have little to do with genre
or style, but more with the passion intrinsic to the song or the
performance (as long as said performance is about the song, not to show
off the singer or band).
Listening to music has always been
for me one of two things: (1) listening technically as a musician to
better myself and "learn" the magic behind the song and (2) listening as
a spiritual exercise as the song changes me somehow and says something
to me. Very rarely do I "use" music as mere background noise, except at
work, because that's expected in a retail environment. For me, listening
to music is an active endearvor, not a passive one.
So, I
guess this is all to say that when Lisa, the kids, and I argue about
what station to listen to on the radio, I know know why I prefer to find
a classic rock or "mixed-up" station rather than a top-40 one.

Break out the sparkling cider (or champagne if you are so inclined)
Miss Liberty stopped by to celebrate July. I'm looking forward to the October witch.
The card project is ongoing with some good and not-so-good results. There certainly are getting to be a lot of them. Hopefully I have some more pictures to share soon.

The Challenge
Since I started (on April 15) I have been thinking about nothing else. I love having something to look forward to each day (besides my lovely job, of course). It will be a challenge as I have several trips planned for the year. I already took stuff and made cards on my weekend trip to visit the gang in southern Utah. I'm committed so wish me luck!
I still play with dolls
The years passed and one day when we were living in
Years passed again and Gary and I returned to
Many, many years passed. I think I may have shown the dolls to my girls once or twice growing up but none of them remember it. I did get them out a few years ago for
Then, something happened. I was putting out my St. Patrick's Day decorations and found that I needed something more. I have only very few St. Patrick's Day things and most of them are quite small. I could find nothing in any of the stores I looked in that I liked. So as I thought about it one night in bed, the thought came to me that I could make my doll into an Irish lass and display her. I already had shamrock fabric from a previous craft so I didn't even need to go to the store. I began the next day and had a ball doing it. Here is the result.
I thought she looked so cute and I was so excited to finally display her that I decided I needed to get her sister back from Amanda so I could make her an Easter dress and display her too. I was able to use an old party favor basket from the American Fork house for her Easter Basket and I made the flower wreath for her head. Here she is. (Sorry I was an Indian giver Amanda. You can have her when I die and her outfits too if you want.)
It has made me very happy to finally be able to display my beloved dolls if only seasonally. I am already planning the Betsy Ross outfit for July. I'm sure the dolls are happy to be out of the box too!

An Unpaid Political Announcement
We have a Senator running for re-election here in Arizona. Let's call him John. He has an ad on the radio that makes me very angry and I just needed to air my grievance. The ad states that this Senator is leading the fight against the President. Since when did we elect officials to "fight" the President? To disagree with, to negotiate with, to propose to, to work with, but to fight? I am sick and tired of the complete lack of respect we have (starting at the top) for the office of the President. If our elected officials go to Washington with the attitude that they are there to fight, how can we expect any sort of useful legislation? Why can't we all just get along? And give respect where it is due even if we disagree?

The final objective of the NMP-project InPro is to develop an "Open Information Environ-ment (OIE)" supporting the Early Design Phase for the construction life cycle of a Build-ing.
Work Package 4 – "Open ICT Platform", led by TNO, provided the technical ICT infrastruc-ture for the integration of the "early design" and "project management" software applica-tions (and their associated structured/unstructured information) determined in Work Package 3. One outcome is the definition of the "Open ICT Platform" (OIP).
Work Package 4 - Task T4.2 – "Open Standards for Interoperability between Applications in Early Design", led by AEC3, provided the short term and long term requirements for the Open ICT Platform.
The main outcome of task T4.2, the deliverable D6, specifies the Open ICT Platform ac-cording to the OIP requirements described in the deliverable D1 [Nummelin 2007] of the preceding task T4.1 and the seven key processes described in the deliverable D5 of task T2.1 [Outters & Verhofstad 2007]. The strong focus on the key processes has been iden-tified as an important and necessary addition to the original scope of work.
The Open web-based ICT Platform – the BIM Collaboration Hub – is available for the in-dustry as a test environment, as a "sandbox", for the users to play with. It is "reset" fre-quently, to enable repetition of tests etc. This sandbox will then also contain the parts/extensions for InPro.
The Open web-based ICT platform is to be seen as a technical solution how to map the information available in the different applications, key processes and also the demonstra-tions. The mapping of this information is in the context of the platform, in this case the PLCS standard as being the bases for Share-A-space (the model server).
The prototypes of the applications around the server will be publicly available and de-scriptions of the mappings can be seen as a platform definition.
The Open web-based ICT Platform shows the principal idea or way of working, not neces-sarily the exact way of industry today. It is a kind of a proof of concept in a laboratory environment. In terms of Technology Readiness Level, the platform is on level 3 or 4.
The main part of the Open Web-based ICT Platform for InPro is the BIM Collaboration Hub, which is based on the model server Share-A-space. For viewing and linking the Solibri Model Server is used, and for model checking the Solibri Model Checker.
Share-A-space is a commercial software in use at a number of industries and organiza-tions. Share-A-space has all the functions required for the manufacturing industry for PDM and PLM collaboration and information consolidation. With the InPro additions and modifications, these generic functions are now available also for the construction indus-try.
The BIM Collaboration Hub is designed using Share-A-space and is further developed and integrated with "IFC to PLCS" and "PLCS to IFC" mapping to fulfil the requirements of InPro. The PLCS and IFC toolboxes are commercial software products and used for inte-gration of the software applications used in the InPro Key Processes.
The current prototype fulfils most of the requirements and specifications in D1 and D6. During the Key Process demonstration developments during the last year of InPro, the remaining functionality required for the demonstrations will be implemented.

While Ben was out in the water we were playing on the shore. The little boys had a fantastic time. Throwing rocks, of course. Why do boys (including Big,Big Boys) love to do this so much?
Splashing in the water. How fun.
And sitting in the water.
Emmy didn't have the best of times there, but did enjoy playing with the rocks a little bit.

  Last year the cinema going masses got smart and ate up the brilliantly entertaining yet complex brain-training Inception. It should hopefully see a change in how the studio's see their audience and invest future mega-bucks in more cinematic, large scale, large budget, large brained blockbusters. What better time to look at a film that was also big budgeted and had smarts but was never as lucky as Inception? A film which may have many followers now but on it's original release it's supporters were few and far between

Don't judge Ridley Scott for the mediocre fluff he's made recently, well judge him if you want, but also have pay some respect for he has directed two of the best science fiction's in film history, the terrifying, seminal Alien and of course Blade Runner.

Loosily based on Philip K Dick's mind bending Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Blade Runner is a vision of the future LA 2019, earth is over populated and over polluted, so much so that the rich have fled to other planets. This is a seedy world where robots are used used for business and pleasure. These replicants or skin jobs are very much humanistic with emotions etc. some even have implanted articial memories and are unaware that they are not human. The replicants are strong and smart and so rebel, to stop them getting too powerful they only have a four year lifespan. This is the story of Deckard (Harrison Ford) a Blade Runner, a detective who specialises in hunting these replicants, he's been put on a job hunting down a gang of replicants who have come back to earth to where they were made to find out a way to prolong their lifespan.

What follows is a dark journey into grimey future LA, rain soaked and dirty but cinematically beautiful. The cityscapes are full of large bursts of industrial flame, bright neon adverts and futuristic aircraft, all seamlessly merged together in a impressive, realistic view of the future. The special effects in this film are excellent and could stand up to most recent efforts. As Deckard tracks down and kills the replicants one by one, we see the line between human and humanoid blur, these replicants, feel, cry and bleed, in a way they are more human than the character who is killing them off (although he may not be entirely human himself). This is the film that made science fiction smart again, the genre had scene a revival thanks to Star Wars, Alien, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, all of which are classics in their own right but no other science fiction film since 2001: A Space Odyssey made audiences think so much.Brenhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673101348995589027.post-35921838559775542982009-07-27T13:19:00.000-07:002009-07-27T13:40:03.325-07:00Spider Chaney Jr.

Have you ever watched Dragon the Bruce Lee Story and looked at the kid playing the young Brandon Lee and you sadly think of what happened to Brandon years later when he was shot dead due to a prop malfunction on the set of The Crow?

A stranger experience is watching Man of a Thousand Faces where a dying Lon Chaney played by James Cagney signals for his son Creighton to hand him his make up box inscribed with his name and with greasepaint he adds "Jr." to the "Lon Chaney". A Hollywood film signalling the start of Lon Chaney Jr.'s career of putting crap on his face for the sake of film.

The irony being that the mixture of a famous name, being connected with enduring painful make up techniques like his father and being a hulk of a man. Chaney Jr. was either a monster or a goon for 95% of his career and the pressures of Hollywood turned him to a life reliant on alcohol. You almost think Lon Chaney Sr. would have served his son better if he left the make-up box as it was .

No matter what Lon Jr. always remained under his father's shadow. Who was respected for playing tortured souls like Quasimodo and the Phantom and not just because he put on a lot of make up. However you could say his career blossomed, he is the only actor to play a vampire in Son of Dracula, the Mummy, Frankenstein's monster and of course the Wolf Man.

Playing The Wolf Man was one of the twelve step backs towards alcoholism. The make-up and effects in the film were gruelling 6 hours to put on 3 hours to take off, with some of the transformation in The Wolf Man series clocking up a shooting period of 24 hours. That's 24 hours of Chaney Jr,  lying down while they slowly add more and more hair and prosthetics to his face. Who wouldn't want a tipple under those circumstances? It's fair to say that Mr. Wolf Man was pretty drunk by the end of those transformations.

Lon Chaney Jr.'s alcoholism became embarrassingly public knowledge when he turned up inebriated to play the monster in a live TV production of Frankenstein, you would think it's a character where the actor could get away with playing it drunk, but unfortunately Lon thought the live broadcast was merely a dress rehearsal, so instead of smashing things up like the monster is supposed to do, he picked up props, mumbled "break later" to himself and put them back down in one piece.

Lon Chaney Jr.'s career of playing scary things under layers of make up is bookended by two stand-out performances. Neither of them under disguise.  Near the beginning of his career he played Lennie Small and near the end of his career he played Bruno in Spider Baby.

And for me, Spider Baby is what I'll remember him for. Not The Wolf Man (although I am a fan) . In Spider-Baby we see Lon's character wear his heart on his sleeve as Bruno, the elderly carer for the children of the Merrye family, a family stricken with an unfortunate disease called Merryre Syndrome, in which they devolve and regress mentally, socially and physically. His relationship with the children is interrupted by two distant relatives who feel they are entitled to the house and to put the children into care. Bruno's desperation to keep the family together and cared for by him as promised to their parents knows no bounds and it's in this he gives his most soulful performance.

The alcoholism was public knowledge at this stage, although some crew members claim they never saw him touch a drop, others were well aware that the oranges he seemed to love so much were injected with hard liquor. That's when you know an alcoholic has gone pro. Aware of his problem, ashamed almost, but still coming up with ingenious ideas of how to keep it up.

Lon Chaney Jr. was hailed to be a child prodigy and like his father become one of the biggest stars in the world (Chaney Sr. was just behind Chaplin) and ended up being used and spat out by the industry that embraced his father so much. Only to end up being an alcoholic in low budget horror comedies like Spider-Baby, without make-up, playing the straight man to the monsters. The irony is how this was his best performance, though unfortunately not his swansong, he went on to star in several more films, his final role being, fittingly a supporting one in Dracula vs. Frankenstein.

He died of heart failure aged 67.

Seek out a copy of Spider-Baby and raise a glass to Creighton Chaney, the fallen prodigy.

The Blair Witch Project is 10 years old this year. In the UK and Ireland is wasn't released until October 1999 and I remember it well.

I was 15 and went to see it at the Screen on D'Olier Street in Dublin. I was and still am an avid reader of both Total Film and Empire and was closely following the phenomenon on the net,needless to say I was very excited.

First of all there was the rumours that it was real, genius! But even after that was proven nonsense it was still the most interesting film to come out that year. Reports of people running out of the cinema vomiting, amazing, there hasn't been such an intense reaction to a horror film since The Exorcist (the fact that half of those people were vomiting because the camera work in BWP was so shakey doesn't matter, the other half were scared).

The build up was unbearable. Channel 4 had a fantastic documentary about the film a few nights before it opened. I recorded it and watched it twice. The anticipation was killing me and I couldn't wait to get into that cinema and then it started...

I'm gonna pause here to say that this isn't another "The Blair Witch was hyped up shit!" rant.

I was breathless, I was shaking, I loved it, it was everything I wanted it to be, nauseating, unsettling, slow burning, disturbing, bleak, harrowing, infuriating. In other words it's not for the masses, it's not a mainstream film, it should have been a tiny little cult horror film that people would pass around to people who they knew would appreciate this experiment in terror.

Unfortunately that was never going to be the case, BWP became (regarding budget to gross income ratio) the most successful film ever made. It was shot 16mm black and white film as well as a consumer camcorder but was blown up on screens in multiplexes across the world.

This resulted in the crime that was the Blair Witch Backlash. People tore into it, calling it, boring, pointless, unscary and yes, nauseating.

And the ill advised sequel didn't help much.

I kept on loving it though as it also inspired me and thousands of other wannabe film-makers that thought they couldn't make a film on a camcorder.

On Halloween two years ago, we found out our friend was one of the few who never actually saw The Blair Witch Project. He wasn't attracted to the hype and the backlash put him off even more. So we slipped the rarely touched DVD into the player and sat down to view BWP again (despite my enthusiasm I've only watched the film 2 or 3 times in 10 years). At the end he was shaking and scared and speechless, it was great to see the film still work on a fresh viewer after the hooplah had well died down.

The Blair Witch Project remains a defining moment in cinema. It was a pure horror film when other's were ironic or CGI laden. Studios started looking for the next low budget horror that can make them rich, future filmmakers started making their own witch projects in the woods and the Internet really showed what it could do.

The creators went on to make their own separate straight to DVD films and the actors faded into obscurity but their influence goes on.

So pay your respects and revisit this fallen classic, chewed up and spit out by the audiences of the world because they were told they were going to see something different and for once they weren't being lied to.

This year's The Last House on the Left is universally making audiences going "meh" unlike the original which made audiences go "ugh, yeesh...meh", I thought it would be suitable the write the 1,294,005th film nerd blog entry on the subject of remakes.

I'm not an anti-remake person, David Cronenberg's The Fly is one my favourite films of all time, The Hill's Have Eyes remake is a fantastic little horror film. It can however get a little out of hand, especially with many of the other horror remakes are treating the actual film title as commodity and remaking it just because people recognise the title My Bloody Valentine/Prom Night without having actually seen the original film. And in the case of My Bloody Valentine, the original wasn't very good. It's a clash between two anti-remake arguments.

"Why remake that film? The original is perfect!"

or

"Why remake that film? The original is awful!"

Why remake a bad film? Why remake a great film? What about remaking an okay film with a premise that has the possibilty of being great?! Like Westworld!...Quick check.... Yes they're remaking Westworld. Could be great!

I'm losing my point here. The fact is films are good and bad some remakes are bad, some can actually be good, some original films can be bad though. And if there was some law stating that a story can't be made into a film if it's already been done, we wouldn't have Charlton Heston in Ben Hur, The Ten Commandments, The Magnificent Seven, The Wizard of Oz, The Fly, Scarface, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, High Society... and if you really want to get persnickety, what if someone told George Lucas he couldn't make Star Wars because it was just a space version of Hidden Fortress? Whether you like it or not no Star Wars means no ILM means no Pixar means no Toy Story, Finding Nemo or any of the other hugely original imaginative films Pixar have made.

How many paintings of the crucifixion are there?

Don't get me wrong though, I'm a bit of a complainer too. Especially when I hear that Ehren Kruger, the guy behind Scream 3 and The Skeleton Key is writing a remake of Videodrome as an action sci-fi thriller. My hopes aren't high. But what's the worse that can happen? Either we have a new version of Videodrome that's good or maybe even better than the original (not bloody likely) or we have a terrible film thats all flashy style with none of the nightmarish chilling tone of the original (likely) and all it will do is make people revisit and appreciate Cronenberg's film all the more.

So frown on about remakes, chances are if you're a complainer of them you've probably paid to see them and will pay again in the future out of curiousity or wanting to be righteous in your complaining. Either way the film is making money and the studio doesn't care what stance you watching the film under, just that you're watching it.

At least they're not remaking Robocop... quick check....

NOOOOOOOOO-cool poster-OOOOOO!

Makes you feel old when you can remember the originals being released.

Nasty, shocking, scary, subversive, hilarious.

Deadgirl is about a couple of horny teenage boys who stumble across a naked living dead woman chained to a table in an abandoned mental institute. Do they run and tell the cops or are they tempted to have a little "fun" with her?

When I saw this film I thought it was the new Saw, in the fact that it was a nasty little low budget horror film that would usually be left straight to DVD but somehow got to the masses and became a cultural phenomenon. Not so, it went straight to DVD (in the UK and Ireland anyway) and despite being now available readily online and in HMV and having advertisements in Empire and Bizarre, I've yet to read an article about it or a review not online. Which is weird, this film at least raises some controversial issues and has a eye catching plot... it's about raping a zombie sex slave! How can you not write about that?

The film plays out straight faced but with some tongue in cheek, it makes some of the most inappropriate jokes and some off the wall stuff happens, yet it's ever so believable. And it also bravely has no good guys, everyone in this film is morally challenged even the guys who think they're good, aren't.

So gather some unsuspecting people pick up the DVD, turn off the lights and watch one of the most original horror films of the decade.

At Rue Morgue's Festival of Fear in 2008 a phrase that kept popping up was "French Horror", two director's who need no introduction Wes Craven and Tobe Hooper separately said that good things are coming out of France in the horror genre. I was baffled and in no doubt that there was some French horror films of note, mainly the astounding Eyes Without a Face or the ultra violent High Tension (aka Switchblade Romance). But if told to keep an eye on the horror output from the European continent, I would look towards Spain as both REC and The Orphanage had blown away audiences that year.

So I looked up what these French horror films are. I was surprised to find that the leader of the pack Inside has never been released in Ireland or the UK.

Inside is a very simple set-up, a young heavily pregnant lady is alone in Christmas Eve while riots rage in the city. A mysterious lady calls to her door with a pair of scissors and a goal. To cut the baby out. Violent, raw and visceral. The film takes over the top scenes of violence that other films might make light of but doesn't make light of it. So you get the crazy kinetic gore of an American 80's horror movie with none of the comic relief. It delivers exploding heads and various stabbings with a deadly straight face. Making for one gut-wrenching ride with a strangely emotional finale.

What you get is a weird mix of unrelenting violence of old school horror film, but with a great script and fantastic performances from some fine French actors, who fight and fight to a primal state, Plus very little CGI and a lot of practical latex, prosthetic work, that's the secret.

For more on the French Horror Wave see Frontier(s), Martyrs and Them. I may talk about them in the future. But yeah well done the French

The Original Aristocrats Joke

A film that has been banned in many countries, the ban has only been lifted in the past year with the arrival of a lovingly created 2 disc BFI edition. In Australia it is still banned. Twice. In Ohio a store owner was arrested for selling a copy only to have Alec Baldwin, Martin Scorsese among others signed a legal brief noting the film's artistic merit and the case was dismissed.

So why is his film so controversial? Is it the nudity?Rape? Feces consumption? Torture? Sodomy? Eye gouging? Tongue slicing? Golden shower? The many references to atrocious acts of paedophilia? Obviously these themes can touch a nerve with many people but I think what really pushes Salo over the edge from being offensive to downright disturbing is how it's played out.

Adapted from The 120 Days of Sodom by Marquis de Sade (where the word 'sadistic' comes from) but based in Nazi Italy. When four rich and powerful men decide to marry each other's daughters they celebrate by kidnapping 18 young men and women, taking them to a palace and repeatedly raping, torturing and humiliating them. All for their own pleasure.

What is so disturbing about the whole thing is the attitude of the men. They seem to take their nihilistic pleasure vacation extremely seriously. As if there is some righteous goal. But there is no goal. Even their fake weddings and best arse competitions are dealt with straight faces.

It's also extremely objective, despite their acts these men are not vilified by the director through music or lighting. in fact very few cinematic tools are used making it all to easy to forget your watching a film. It's quite immersing and for me reminded me of a nightmare where something bizarre and atrocious is happening but observers aren't reacting in the appropriate manner. It's so objective that much of the climax is viewed through binoculars from afar.

It has been dismissed as pretentious exploitation, but there is usually a giddy thrill in exploitation, where you are entertained and can't wait to see what's going to happen next. Not here. It's hard to watch and quite depressing, it's not entertaining. A subject matter can only be as entertaining as the director wants it to be, Pasolinni has no interest in guilty pleasure here. He almost wants you to hate this film and wish the end would come soon, he makes you wish for a Hollywood ending with the cavalry gloriously arriving from nowhere to end this nightmare.

In short it's a repugnant film that you won't enjoy but won't be able to get out of your head. Not for everyone, but fascinating.

Things are good! I've got a pretty decent job in NYC, but going through an "Almost 30 what have I done with my life" crisis.
I was going through some old RSS feeds and I had one for your old blog, so I've been lurking on the this one for a few weeks now haha. Your pictures are amazing.
How are things with you other than obviously going back to Korea?

I can't complain. Overall life's been good to me, even with the poor choices I make. I mean, Korea's not terrible, it's just that I don't want to leave the country for a whole 'nother year.
Gotta grin and bear it though. I want to keep traveling and yet go back to school so can actually BE employed in THIS country.
I think it's cool you've got a job in NYC. I'm a little jealous.

Korea sounds interesting! Are you teaching English there? Teaching abroad has always been something I've been interested in. I've had a few friends who have gone abroad when their lives felt a little stuck too. Seems like a good way to step back and reevaluate your life back home (and make some good money too!).

Sarcastic: marked by or given to using irony in order to mock or convey contempt. Think "quick-witted with a sharp tongue that should be used sparingly."
Facetious: treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor; flippant. Think "quick-witted, humorous."
Most of the time, people say they are being sarcastic. Unless they're being particularly cruel or stabbing with their words, they are probably being facetious.
For more information and examples about these two words, please see the following websites:

Golden-Out of the Shadow
This is my latest dog painting in pastel. I titled it Golden-Out of the Shadow because of the contrast of light and dark, and because of the way the light was hitting on him, but still there was a cast shadow over him. This was a bit difficult to do because it is only on a 5×8 piece of Uart sanded pastel paper. Still I was pleased with the way it turned out!

Eyes To Heaven – Casper
This painting of "Eyes To Heaven" was emotionally difficult to paint because of the story that goes along with it. I was commissioned to paint this and I chose to do it in pastels. Photo credit goes to photographer Andrea Seamans.
Casper was a rescue dog who was found wandering and then rescued by a couple, who even after finding out he was in the final stages of kidney failure took him in hopes they could love him and heal him. Casper was a young dog, but his poor body from being left out on the streets for so long could not recover. Casper crossed over the rainbow bridge and his new family was devastated.
I saw this beautiful dog and just really wanted to paint him. His story grabbed at me and the photo just looked so that he was and knew he was headed to Heaven being loved unconditionally by the people who rescued him.
My heart and a piece of me are in this painting.

The way you talk to your team has a huge effect on them, and the way they work. Money Crashers uses the example of a manager who wrote a memo to their team, detailing changes that had to be made to an ailing company. The memo concluded with the threat, 'things must change, or else.' The result? Employees didn't know whether to hang on or just quit, and morale nosedived as they felt they being blamed for issues that weren't their fault.
As you can see, you'll need to watch the way you talk to and with your staff. Here are some tips that will help you communicate effectively, and get the most out of your team.
Take A Step Back
Before you say anything, take a step back and consider the situation. Your emotions can make you quick to react, but you may jump to the wrong conclusion.
Top manager Richard Harrison from Revieweal says, 'Before I say anything to my team, I try and look at the situation from every angle. Sometimes it can look like the team is at fault, where in fact workplace policy, or another department entirely, have caused the problem. If I stop and think first, I stop myself from jumping to conclusions.'
Be Positive
Monster recommends trying to be positive in whatever you have to say. Now, you can't always do this if you have to discipline a team member, for example. Most of the time though, it's a good idea to stay as positive as possible.
Think of this as taking the high road. Avoid being negative, badmouthing others, or generally being down on others. The more positive you are, the more energised and receptive your team will be to your ideas.
See Your Employees As Well Rounded People
It's hard to remember when you're at work, but the people you work with go home at the end of the day, and live their lives away from the office. Some managers make the mistake of talking to their tams as if they don't have lives outside of the company. This can put them off, and even turn them against you.
HR Manager Tim Power from Australian Reviewer says 'When I talk with my team, I try to remember that they're busy people, just like I am. If you can respect their lives and needs, they'll respect you in turn.'
Watch How You Communicate In Writing
In most workplaces, you'll find that you do a lot of your communication through the written word. Whether it's emails or IMs, you'll be talking to your teams through a screen rather than in person. This is especially true if your team works remotely. This means that you have to be especially careful of how you communicate with them.
Whenever you write a message, take the time to read it through a few times. How could this be taken? If it could possibly be taken a different way, or even cause offence, edit your message before you send it. There are communication tools out there, such as State Of Writing and Top Canadian Writers, that can help you edit and improve your writing before you send it out.
Focus On The Problem
The memo in the introduction was a bad example of communication, as it attacked the employees' personalities, rather than the problem at hand. As a manager, you may find that you get on with some staff better than others. This is just a fact of life, as some personalities work well together, and others clash.
This means that when talking to your staff, you should focus on the problem at hand. Don't make reference to the personality of the person you're speaking to, as it can easily be taken the wrong way. Instead, work on the problem together, and find a way to solve it together.
Most of communication with subordinates is finding a way to relate with them. You may be the manager, but you still need to make an effort to give them what they need in conversation. The more you think about their needs, the more they'll work to help you achieve your goals. Use these tips to help you get the most out of your communications.

When You Know What You Want...
This was borne home to me two days ago when the chief of a dance troupe brought her ladies to the studio for publicity shots. She could tell me where the images would go, what size they needed to be, and the projected colouration of the graphic designs. She told the dancers how to dress, and what poses she wanted. She watched them and aided their posing - between her and I we got the best out of them - even the novices. They were very theatrical.
The post-prod was a dream. The chief now has a selection of poses, groups, displays, dances, and costumes. The ladies are going to look magnificent. It all ran through Aperture with only 3.75% having to go over to Photoshop for serious correction.
As a result, the work time was dramatically reduced and the cost to the customer substantially less than it has been for other troupes.
Now, if you can do this in your own photography...I mean figure out before you sally forth exactly what you want to achieve...you can be equally successful. Okay, you don't have to approach it like a Prussian Guards regiment and never deviate in spite of the cannon balls, but do know what you want as you go for it.
This also has an echo here in the shop. Wander, please. Look, speculate, ponder. Ask an intelligent question if need be - the staff's little faces will light up. No need to tell us what the latest rumour site has reported because we read that stuff too*. In any case, do think - for yourself - about what YOU want to do. Then you are more likely to be able to do it.
* I read it in theatrical accents - makes it funnier...

I regularly ate health food cookies so disgusting that when I enthusiastically gave one to Rachel Dratch, she drew a picture of a rabbit and broke the cookie into a trail of tiny pieces coming out of the rabbit's butt.

Devon: You know, revenge is a dish best served cold, Jack. Like sashimi ... or pizza.
Jack: You prefer cold pizza?
Devon: The morning after? It's the best.
Jack: Better than hot pizza? That's insane.
Devon: You don't tell me what kind of pizza to like. You don't tell me anything anymore, Jack!

A simple model based on the 1D nonlinear Schrödinger equation is studied, which contains both spatially and temporally dispersive terms. Parametric instabilities for plane waves are analyzed in detail, and solitary waves (both bright and dark) are found. The model presented here is able to describe the non-trivial unstable dynamics of intense, nonlinear light propagation near a material resonance in presence of negative spatial dispersion. We provide as a practical example the light propagation near the tail of an exciton-polariton resonance in a specially designed semiconductor superlattice.

All of our Adult Lifestyle Centres are L.G.B.T.I.Q (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Queer) friendly. Our centres also proudly act as a safe spot for any member of the L.G.B.T.I.Q community that may be in distress or needs emergency attention. We have staff within our stores that have worked with youth services or have volunteered at Queer services such as ACON, the Bobby Goldsmith foundation, NSW Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby, and the Mature Age Gays Sydney and as such have a wealth of knowledge concerning queer issues. With such a variety of experiences in genders and sexualities, we are well placed to provide foundational support to the community with a focus of sexual pleasure and sexual aides, as well as being a useful resource to have for all things queer related. On top of this, we stock a wide range of products designed specifically to cater to the various L.G.B.T.I.Q communities and all of our locations stock a wide variety of leading L.G.B.T.I.Q adult DVDs, adult toys, lubricants and desensitisers and enhancers.
Adult lifestyle Centres understand that, like many facets of the social spectrum, the Queer community have their own specific needs and requirements when it comes to sex and sexuality, and we ensure that we are continually catering to those evolving needs. Our store in Park Street has been a shining beacon in the queer community of Sydney and caters to a variety of fetishes such as urethral play, bondage, and the ultimate collection of people looking for gay erotic films. It is well known amongst locals for their level of professionalism and service and this is something which has transcended to all of our stores.
Surprisingly, discrimination against the Queer parts of society has not always existed. In many cultures, including the Sambia Tribe in Papua New Guinea, the Ancient Greek Page boys going to war with their mentors and indeed may others, queer culture has been an accepted norm within society. Indeed it wasn't until the medieval period and the rise of religion and 'morality' with which homosexuality began to be portrayed in many negative perspectives such as unnatural, dirty and sinful. The discrimination of homosexuality has not been an isolated case and can be linked with the marginalisation of many communities including women. It evolved to a stage, which still exists in some parts, to a place where homosexuality and abject performances of gender were regarded to be a disease, and a sickness. This philosophy existed despite the fact that scientific research had begun to debunk the myths and eventually proved these beliefs to be false.
The social stigma however, had been attached, and this worsened in the 20th century with the rise of AIDS. The fact remained though, that there was no inherent connection between homosexuality and disease with the only link that was proven being the link between unsafe sex and illness such as HIV/AIDS, and other STIs. The implications of previous prejudice still reverberate today in our general society but slowly homosexual people and sexual activities are being discussed more openly and are now accepted by a vast majority of society. L.G.B.T.I.Q youth have it particularly tough, and that is why our stores often contribute and work with youth services in helping youth understand safe sex practices in forums and classes delivered in an appropriate fashion.
Our stores and our staff are continually working with and within the community to break down these stereotypes and ensure that there is equality for all. Adult lifestyle centres proudly stand for same sex marriage as we believe that this ties in with our ideologies of fairness, justice and equality and is a contributing factor to providing sex positive attitudes across Australia.
We are proud that we have a number of L.G.B.T.I.Q staff members, and staff members of diverse sexualities and genders and together we enjoy breaking taboos associated with and within these communities. One of our core missions is the helping people discover their true sexual identities free from prejudice and judgement. What we have discovered over the years is that sexual acts previously assigned to the gay community, such as prostate stimulation and anal play, are becoming an accepted part of the heterosexual repertoire, and we are proud to contribute this to the work of not only Adult Lifestyle Centres, but Adult Stores across the globe in helping breaking down the stereotypes and debunking the myths surrounding certain sexual activities.
Oh Zone Adult Lifestyle Centres are allowing mature adults the opportunity to release themselves from the shackles of the taboo surrounding sex and sexuality. Come and see us if you would like a sex positive environment to explore your own sexuality or just happen to be curious and would like some frank and honest advice about what your options are.

dog in our backyard. Our own dogs, Baxter and Ellie, weren't sure what to make of the little fella. We named him Carlos, from the movie "The Hangover", which my husband and I had just watched before the dog came to stay a while. My husband ended up having to work the week of spring break, so he stayed home. This turned out to be a good thing, because he was able to put out a sign for the found dog, and Carlos (a.k.a. Buddy) was able to get back to his owners!
Another good reason for my husband to stay home was because he got going on our bathroom project. We decided to redecorate the kids bathroom. Here's the before shot :
I really loathe this room. When we moved in 3 years ago, the walls were painted a dark burgundy, which made the room look like a cave or something horribly sinister. That just won't do for a kids bathroom, so I tried to lighten things up a bit with a bright aqua color! Yes, well, it's still no good.
Here's how it looked when the kids and I left for spring break:
Ahhh....just taking off that hideous counter and getting a nice neutral on the walls did wonders, I think! *Does that uneven, unmatched towel bother anyone but me???* Whiel we were gone doing fun things like this--
--my sweet husband, with the help of a borrowed tile saw from a friend, and the assistance of my self-sacrificing BIL, was able to get the room to look more like THIS:
Oh joy and jubilation! There are still a few small details to work out, such as installing the toilet, putting in the new shower curtain, changing the cabinet hardware, and replacing the crown moulding. *And getting matching towels!* But, I'm so pleased with the outcome thus far.
My dear, sweet husband worked so hard, and the rest of us got to play. Here are some more shots of what we got to do during the week...
These pics were taken from the Albright Grove trail near Gatlinburg, TN. The trees there (tuliptree and silverbells) were more than impressive! My Dad is starring in the last shot and I think that helps give the right perspective of how large these things were. The one up above with the kids and me was taken at Laurel Falls, also in Gatlinburg.

Paper Towns
At the end of 2012 - I read The Fault In Our Stars, the young adult romance novel by John Green, and thought it was a classy affair with real crossover merit. Many people my own age have also read it and recommended it to me, including just the other day a friend of mine from uni days. A film of The Fault In Our Stars is set to appear at a cinema near you shortly.
What then of the rest of John Green's output? I've just got round to a second one of his now and chose Paper Towns.
This novel is told from the perspective of Quentin, one night school Queen Bee Margo who was once his friend and lives next door appears at his window and makes him join her on a series of revenge pranks in the middle of the night and then promptly vanishes leaving Quentin and his friends to decipher the mystery of her whereabouts.
There's a lot to like about Paper Towns and I'll start with that, for every girl with a complicated internal life there is something to identify with in Margo. She's the girl with a million records whose friends don't even know she likes music. The girl with a copy of Leaves Of Grass by Walt Whitman whose friends don't even know she likes poetry. The popular girl at the centre of things who knows she's faking it all.
She's the girl who keeps going missing because she needs to be found. And the girl who wants to stay lost too.
Margo is a great character - fascinating even, though perhaps with some annoying hipster tendencies.
Margo is the best thing about this novel - but she is also its biggest problem.
The book isn't about Margo. It's about Quentin. Quentin and his friends Ben and Radar - later joined by Lacey who are searching for Margo.
And there's nothing of note about any of them really; Quentin IMs his friends, they play video games, they scour the equivalent of Wikipedia for Margo clues and live out standard American High School Outsider tropes about which there is nothing original.
The only thing that is interesting about Quentin is 'Quentin in relation to Margo' - he's not interesting outside of her. The essential point that John Green is making about people with this novel and it's a great point and one particularly worth making to young people I think, is about how Quentin relates to Margo.
At the beginning of the novel Quentin counts it as a miracle that he ever knew Margo, that she ever happened to be his next door neighbour.
Quentin has an idea, a concept, of the person that he believes Margo to be, he's built it all in his mind, this idea that he has of her, is an impression that he's decided upon. It's an interesting lesson about how we, and it applies to adults too, carry ideals or mistaken beliefs about people based upon the narrative we have imposed upon them ourselves.
Margo, Quentin realises eventually is not a miracle, she's just a troubled girl and nothing more or less than that.
And this is such a good book for young people just for that lesson, but it's a mistake that adults including myself are often guilty of making; of expecting superhuman behaviour from people who we put on a pedestal who ultimately are just as human and fallible as we are.
A good book with a great secondary character 7/10 for Paper Towns the bulk of which didn't engage me - 10/10 for Margo herself.
