Mighty fine effort, have to say that I try and compose drawings with various elements placed strategically so if I stuff one up then I've still got a passable, albeit, smaller drawing.
- March 21, 2009 at 12:55 AM
it's pretty amazin' with the contrast. It's nice to have something from high school that you can still have some pride in.

This is awesome Bella! And you drew this when you were still in high school? I knew it when I saw your sketch of Korean folks that you can draw better portraits than I. Here's one of the sketches I did during high school. Back then, I thought I really had his likeness.haha
By the way, isn't this Albert Einstein?:P

I really like your interpretation of the word and your style.
Almost everyone I know still think of themselves as teenager, whether they are 16 or 70...

This is a great work Bella. Wow! Some more drawing during high school. I really admire all your artworks, the cute and the realistic ones. All are great!
By the way, I only took art when I was in junior secondary from 1 to 3; which was 13 to 15.
Then, senior secondary form 4 & 5 in science stream, didn't get to attend any art classes.
You were so lucky to have the Art class. What a unforgetable memories Bella:)

its a really incredible drawing and I love that you chopped his head off!
Its really fun to go through the old school drawings - I wish I had kept some more!

Very nice pre-WWI work Bella! He he.. the way you write about how long ago this was, well, you knew I would have to have fun with that :). Very cool stuff as always!

Wow...that is impressive! Hairless and all. LOL
I also love the spring cleaning one below...Hilarious!!!! :)

Hair and the top of your head is overrated! So talented you are/were/are!

- isay said...
You must have lots and loads of beautiful artworks since way back then until now.,,,,
- March 21, 2009 at 6:58 AM
- Bella Sinclair said...
Wow, thank you, everyone. Milkberry, please get up. I think this is about the only thing I have left from high school. Really, though, I'm just a walking xerox machine. It's the creating-from-nothing that I'm trying to work on.
Tiddly Inks, Caren, you're absolutely right. Hair is overrated. :)
And Peter, if you can imagine, I did this all by candlelight because, as you know, we didn't have electricity back when I was a kid. :D
Gosh, Isay, I wish I had loads of stuff. But I stopped drawing in college and started up again last year, so there's quite a big gap.
- March 21, 2009 at 7:16 AM
- Valerie Lorimer said...
Wow! This an amazing drawing, Bella. I'm so glad you pulled it out again for us to see. It's awesome.
- March 21, 2009 at 7:46 AM
- Caroline said...
Wow, Bella - what a great drawing from way back when! So glad you decided to take it up again!
- March 21, 2009 at 7:48 AM
- kj said...
bella, i'm not an artist, i'm a writer, and i cannot imagine how you "copied" these grids so expertly. i would swear it's a photograph.
seeing this i had the same feeling i experienced when i finally got to see valgal's incredible drawings in person: i imagine your "portfolio" would be equally incredible. my favorite of everything you do: those little feet. and then your shadows...
- March 21, 2009 at 7:55 AM
- soulbrush said...
what a talent you had even so young, whew. hugs to you bs.
- March 21, 2009 at 9:01 AM
- ArtSparker said...
Funny, you could put his comparmentalized thoughts into the grid boxes.Looks like Sartre to me, except his eyes aren't sufficiently unmoored.
- March 21, 2009 at 9:46 AM
- Tessa said...
Yes, he does look like a philosopher - it's that distant gaze, I think, and the thoughtful way he draws on his cigarette. Fantastic illustration, Bella, beautifully rendered.
- March 21, 2009 at 11:43 AM
- esque said...
Holy carrot! What a great drawing! I love the guy's pose with the cig there between his fingers. Totally awesome. I bow before ye.
- March 21, 2009 at 11:51 AM
- ValGalArt said...
Really fine work Bella! I like the darkness all around him and his finfers and squinting eyes, amazing!
- March 21, 2009 at 12:05 PM
- Eric Barclay said...
Holy cow, you could draw this well in high school? This is really awesome stuff.
- March 21, 2009 at 12:13 PM
- Joanie said...
Wow, this is really nice especially for a high school student.
- March 21, 2009 at 12:19 PM
- aimee said...
whaaaat? this is a drawing? i thought this was a photograph the moment i saw it (with a crease or fold where the 'subtracted' part was). and you did this in high school! WOW!
- March 21, 2009 at 12:35 PM
- dave king. said...
Thanks for your kind words Bella. Mighty fine drawing skills you have there! To pull that off at high school is very impressive!

high school? amazing
- March 21, 2009 at 4:37 PM
- Renee said...
Bella this is totally outstanding. You are brilliant. Did the neighbours know it was you who coloured in all the circles. Better yet, do the girls know it was you. Obviously your husband knows or does he.
Love you. Renee xooxo

It's excellent Bella! I would have been intimidated if I had seen that in a high school art class!- Take care- John

- Draffin Bears said...
That is wonderful Bella and what a talented young school girl you were!
Wishing you the most fabulous weekend
- March 21, 2009 at 8:18 PM
- Ces said...
Are you for real? High school? I thought it was a photograph of one pf your boyfriends, the one you did not marry because he was a smoker. I am home now. Just got off the phone with tech services because we had no internet. Argh!
- March 21, 2009 at 8:30 PM
- Kaili (Billy and Button) said...
This is a amazing Bella, and such a surprise from your other cutsie artworks that Ive seen. What an artist you are!
- March 21, 2009 at 8:43 PM
- Owl Eng said...
amazingly beautiful!! you're very a gifted artist!!
- March 21, 2009 at 10:31 PM
- Bella Sinclair said...
I'm overwhelmed with flattery. Thank you so much! To be honest, I was hesitant to even share this.
Yes, high school. I wasn't allowed to date, so what was a girl to do. And I developed a crush on my art teacher as a result. :)
Renee, no one, not even my family knows the mystery of the colored circles. It's just between you and me. Shhhhhhh.
Ces! Yay, you're back! Let's get this party started. Oh, yes, this was an old boyfriend, and I was madly in love with him. But alas, I do not smoke, and he told me my kisses were flavorless, so he left me. I never got over it.
Aaah, Kaili. I have a dark side. mwahahaha
- March 21, 2009 at 10:33 PM
- voz said...
From the look in his eyes, I'd say he knows his days as a fine work of art are numbered. He looks like he's trying to smoke that cigarette as fast as he can before the rest of his head dissolves into little sketchy boxes.
- March 22, 2009 at 5:18 AM
- linda cardina said...
bella!! ...your kisses were flavorless so he left u..haahaha yr killn' me..haha

- matt dawson said...
Lovely pencil drawing... glad it had a chance to live again. I'm sure I've seen the face before... doesn't look happy about having his head unfinished ;)
- March 23, 2009 at 6:16 AM
- Emily said...
I remember these type of exercises...but I never did this well! plus..hehe... who hasn't choped the hair (weird hand,foot hard to draw fold) off... at some time. :)
beautiful work!
(I am going to Tokyo on friday any must see tips?)
- March 23, 2009 at 8:39 AM
- Ces said...
I remember seeing this guy at Narita Airport. He did look funny. Part of his head was chopped off...
- March 23, 2009 at 10:05 AM
- Edrian Thomidis said...
I had to do a double take when I came here this time. First I thought I was at the wrong Doodlespot, but then I realized that it was your work. Well, you are way too modest. There's a lot if talent in those hands! You just keep on drawing, because your work realistic or not it's superb!
- March 23, 2009 at 11:26 AM
- aimee said...
i had to come back and make it an even fifty. are you SURE that isn't a photograph?
- March 23, 2009 at 11:41 AM
- kj said...
bella, i beg you to put up a new post, because every time i check in and see this guy, it reminds me of a date from hell...
- March 23, 2009 at 12:36 PM
- get zapped said...
I'm totally impressed you did this in HS! It's terrific even without the hair...maybe he went bald soon there after. I have a grid drawing from HS< that is mostly subtraction!
- March 23, 2009 at 2:44 PM
- Bella Sinclair said...
You guys are all so amazingly sweet and kind. Thank you so much.
Hahaha, when I chopped off the top of his head, I guess I was having a Kill Bill kind of moment. Uma Thurman who??? By the way, Uma means horse in Japanese.
Thwack thwack
- March 23, 2009 at 3:50 PM
- Roberta said...
Very impressive that you did this in high school Bella!
So much talent you have!!
- March 23, 2009 at 6:15 PM
- RockerJewlz said...
Holy cow I thought it was a photograph...sheesh girl, guess you scored an "A" on this assignment, even if you DID whack his noggin off!
- March 23, 2009 at 7:19 PM
- Artemis Wilde said...
Excellent work I hope you got an A even without the top of the head.
- March 23, 2009 at 10:23 PM

WOW! Looks like an old photograph - amazing

Wonderful and brillant ejecution!
His substract hair makes this artwork different and special.
Great Bella, great!
- March 25, 2009 at 1:27 AM

Great job! Your story reminds me of an old drawing joke..."When in doubt - crop it out". Lol!
- March 25, 2009 at 7:17 AM
- Brian Lue Sang said...
High school???? Holy cow, Bella! You were this awesome back then, huh?
I think if I attempted this back in high school I would be saying something like ' So I started the tie and... I couldn't go any further!'
- March 25, 2009 at 9:07 AM
- theartofpuro said...
Awesome illo,at first site I thought it was a photo,like it even without hair
- March 25, 2009 at 12:34 PM

That is seriously awesome!!! You are so amazing! I totally remember doing this assignment in high school, and mine didn't turn out nearly as good as this...

Wow, this is awesome... and what a great way to solve your hair problem, hee hee! I can't help thinking that guy looks so familiar.
- March 26, 2009 at 11:16 PM
- Connie said...
An amazing drawing in any case and I think chopping off the top makes it even more intense; you really are 'in his face'!
- March 27, 2009 at 10:23 AM

bella, another way to leave you the same message: count me in.
- March 27, 2009 at 3:57 PM
- Renee said...
Hi sweetheart. I also wanted you to see the comment I left about you on Manon's blog, but on her post for yesterday, not today.
You guys are so cute. Festivities = adorable.
Yes, you could be right. Just like I use to think Axel Rose was hot but really I was getting the music mixed up with the musician because I love Guns and Roses music.
Oh well, this is my last day of being 52. 53 tomorrow and when I was diagnosed at 49 and they said that I had about 6 months. Well, all I can say is I am thrilled to turn 53.
Love Renee
- March 27, 2009 at 4:18 PM
- Renee said...
Bella do you ever draw like this anymore?
He looks like a photograph. His hands, everything. This is super fantastic. And you were in high school. To me it is some of the best I have seen anywhere.
Love Renee xoxo
- March 27, 2009 at 5:27 PM
- Renee said...
I adore your art now. That is why I first came to your blog and I have been in love ever since.
It was for the art at first, but then I would see little sentences from a very witty woman.
And then I fell in love with neither the art nor the sentences, but with the very witty woman.
It is just that this is so different but equally brilliant.
You totally rock it hard.
By the way, if you see kj's blog today, I think we are flying over there in that dragon from fantasy friday that you are a bit weary of.
Love Renee.
p.s. We should see if Ces and Bjornik and Linda want to come too. Do you have lots of room for us over there.
I'm calling first dibs on a bed (because I sometimes think I am the Queen of Sheba).

bella, i really love the way renee described first discovering u. it was that same way for me. first i fell in love with the little girl with the precious lttle hands and feet. then is was the sweet chick with THEE BEST sense of humor.. i just love it bella.
btw don't u feel so special being friends with a real super hero. RENEE is a true super hero!!! i am so proud to call her my friend.

Buns of steel, is that a type of bread in Japan.
I am the woman with the body like the Venus of Willendorf.
Thanks for giving me the bed.

This portrait is incredible, Bella! That's funny (and ingenious) about substracting the rest of his head :)

Hello! I am wondering if the dress comes in navy?
Is this woman's or a misses size ?
Is the waist elastic? Or fitted by zipper?
Does this come in white? Or is there a similar dress in white?
Hello. Is it possible to ship to europe, romania? Are the beads silver or gold? I have to know to match the shoes :)
Is the dress color taupe/pink or Champagne/gold?
I see by one of the other questions answered that a size 6 is 31.5 inches long. Is this the same for size 8 and 10? On some of my screenes the gunmetal colour looks like it has a purple undertone. Is this right or is it true gray?
Will this dress become available online in the champagne color?

The Difference Between Zen and Therapy?
I present to you the very first published photo of all four original members of Zero Defex together for the first time since nineteen hundred and (mumbles indistinctly)! Left to right are Mickey X-Nelson, Brad No Sweat, Jimi Imij and Tommy Strange.
Purists may ask where are Johnny Phlegm, Frank N. File and Alan X-Nelson. But the band's first three bass players each lasted a mere couple of weeks, while I was in for the long haul right up till the end. Or at least the first end of the band. So go suck a grape.
This was taken at X-Day 14 down in Southern Ohio where we played last night. I am heading back down to the same campgrounds later today. Tomorrow and Thursday I will lead workshops at Starwood, a big pagan festival down there in the woods at Wisteria campgrounds. I'm pretty sure you can still get a spot there. Click here for details. Cuz I don't really know. The workshops are at 10 am both days.
On the way driving back up to Akron a friend who was riding with me asked that perennial question, "What's the difference between a Zen teacher and a therapist?"
This has come up a number of times since I spoke at Ordinary Mind Zendo in New York where, some (but not me) say I was psychoanalyzed on stage. I've answered in a few really complicated ways. But there in the car I came up with the real answer spontaneously.
A Zen teacher teaches Zen.
The relationship between a Zen teacher and his/her "student" is based on their mutual practice of zazen. If you're not practicing zazen... well, you can ask a Zen teacher whatever you want and either place value on her answers or disregard them. But you won't really understand her answers until you start practicing yourself.
My friend asked if I give people advice about how to live, as a therapist does. I thought hard about the many private interviews I've had with practitioners and I couldn't come up with a single instance where I advised anyone about how to live. Nor can I recall ever being advised how to live by my teachers or any other Zen teacher I've done an interview with. In fact they've all avoided giving such advice even when I clearly and unambiguously asked for it.
I talk to people about their Zen practice, about the things that come up during practice, about how to respond and deal with this stuff. In my case I usually respond by explaining how I've dealt with my practice issues. I don't ever tell people to do it my way because my way is not right for them.
So there you go. The difference between Zen and therapy is Zen.

OH HAI Sunday News Round-Up: New Year's Resolutions Edition
Ugh. So, happy new year! One of my goals for the new year is to spin those likable things back up, and focus on arranging things for less of the bad and more of the good. You all wish me luck with that, now. A tangible outcome of that should be more blogging. (See Heather Corinna at Scarleteen for more talk about "more, not less" for the New Year).
That said, here are some stories and issues of interest from recent days:
Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting in Newtown, CT:
I can't talk about this one without first extending my sympathy and condolences to everyone affected by this violence.
SE Smith has a "factbomb" on mental illness and gun violence, including fact vs. reality on the stigma against mental illness that seems to be deepening in some ways in the wake of Newtown.
My thoughts, and response to someone who made the stigma-increasing, ableist comment, "How about instead of worrying about the guns, we worry about the fucking crazies."
The problem with "worry about the fucking crazies" is that mental health is not a fixed state, any more than physical health. Sure, some people have chronic mental illness, and deserve the dignity of effective, accessible treatment (and not to be denigrated as "fucking crazies"). However, just as physical ailments can be acute and time-limited, so can be mental instability (as many folks who were once adolescents know). If you've ever been *this* close to punching somebody due to road rage or tipsiness or what have you, then you know the boundary between a person acting safe vs. unsafe is porous. The question then is, can you always screen for that? Is sufficiently good mental health consistent across a lifetime? Are crisis services readily available, and the attached stigma negligible? Nope. Can we reduce the number and types of guns around, then?
In other words, I don't think the answer to gun violence is to further stigmatize people with mental illness. I think it's to have fewer guns around. Further thoughts (blockquoted because I first posted them in comments in a private forum):
Something I'm thinking about today – on a local blog, a commenter keeps insisting that the people who get bullied in school get bullied because they're not big jocks with giant muscles. In his mind, whoever has the biggest, most dangerous weapons wins, and those getting bullied should just have bigger muscles and more popularity. My take on this is more that because we value stereotypically masculine characteristics, it's not as readily apparent to bullies that the larger group is going to stick up for the skinny gay art kid – it's not the size of the muscles, it's how we socially construct the value of people. Likewise, all those many illegal guns people keep talking as evidence for why stricter gun laws won't work aren't just out there because lots of individuals think guns are awesome and getting them illegally is even better – there's stuff going on underneath – things we value, harm we do, rewards we give – as a culture. Do I know what all those things are and how to affect them? No. But you want to do something about gun violence, I think you have to go there.
So, yeah. I don't think gun violence is as simple as rules about guns and mental illness and whatnot. I think it requires a hard look at how we socialize boys to dominate, and how we teach them how to have control, how to dominate, and what the consequences for that are. It's not because "men are bad." It might have something to do with how our culture values the biggest toy/muscles winning, and teaches that the way to win is through physical domination, that men have a right to that domination. That violence is "masculine," and a useful tool.
Here are some other folks talking about violence and masculinity:
- We should be talking about masculinity and violence after the Sandy Hook shooting and every day – Maya at Feministing
- Gender, Race, Masculinity, and Gun Violence – Transcender
- Masculinity and Guns in America – Ashley Baggett at Nursing Clio
- Why Won't We Talk About Violence and Masculinity in America? = Soraya Chemaly at the Ms. Blog
- Dude, Where's My Gun? – Mark Anthony Neal for The New Black Magazine, from 2010 but talks about how social vulnerability underlies "masculine" violence
- A Theory of Violence: In Honor of Kasandra, CeCe, Victoria, Savita and Anonymous – at Crunk Feminist Collective:
Violence is functional.
It is a means of asserting and securing power. When violence targets women in the dark of night it ensures, among many other things, that women stay out of the streets. When violence against trans women goes largely unreported in studies of violence against women, it is tacitly legitimated. When violence against white school children raises a national furor and violence against an innocent black teenager wearing a hoodie doesn't provoke a national conversation about legislating guns, we can see the fault lines. When a football player kills his partner and then himself and we find ourselves knowing his name but not hers, we see which victims matter.
One last thing on that, via an Ani Difranco song on a 1999 album [lyrics here]:
Yeah, that probably should have been it's own post….
- America's Rape Problem: We Refuse to Admit That There Is One – Jessica Valenti for The Nation – "It's time to acknowledge that the rape epidemic in the United States is not just about the crimes themselves, but our own cultural and political willful ignorance." That's *exactly* what we mean when we talk about 'rape culture,' and it's no coincidence that when women criticize it, or specific examples of it, online, they often receive rape threats.
- California Court Says Rape by Impersonation Isn't Rape if Woman Is not Married – Just, ugh, x1000.
- Purity Culture Is Rape Culture – E.J. Graff at The American Prospect
- Victory: Military Insurance to Cover Abortion in Cases of Rape – from Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health
- The Feminist Librarian looks back at the year in books
- Roe v. Wade 40th Anniversary Events – If you're in Massachusetts, Our Bodies Ourselves is co-sponsoring an event there, and Blog for Choice day is coming up again.
- Oh, and those assholes in the House failed to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). You know, because some Republican dudes thought it offered too much protection to Native women on reservations (who have extremely high rates of being victimized). Native Appropriations has a great post on this:
The Violence Against Women Act provisions that are holding up the bill are provisions that allow for the prosecution of Non-Indian perpetrators on Indian land within tribal court systems. The current laws state that crimes involving non-Indians are treated as federal cases. But in 2011, the federal government declined to pursue charges in 65% of domestic violence cases on reservations. Clearly this. is. unacceptable. 1 in 3 Native women have been raped or sexually assaulted, a rate 2.5 times higher than the national average, and of those crimes, 80% of them involve a non-Native assailant. This excellent Salon article discusses how these loopholes protect rapists on reservations, because they "know they can get away with it.
Jamil Smith has another worthwhile post for the Melissa Harris Perry show, Why does the Violence Against Women Act remain stalled?
Okay, I think that's a good enough start for getting back into the swing of things, don't you?

Perforce Software this week proffers forth the Perforce versioning engine on VMware vCloud Air. Well, it's VMworld 2014 this month so it's rude not to announce something that sidles up next to VMware technologies in some form isn't it?
The software provides repositories that serve as a "single source of truth" for all global development assets. There is dogfooding here; i.e., Perforce uses VMware vCloud Air to support its own global development.
The performance of Perforce deployed on vCloud Air was identical to its on-premises deployment using similar resources — vCloud Air allowed Perforce to set up a secure environment with the same skill set used to manage enterprise environments. The combined result is a hybrid on-premises and public cloud environment that provides the security, visibility, and compliance required when dealing with business-critical intellectual property.
"IT organizations need to speed up product release cycles to address critical business needs more quickly without jeopardizing security," said Ajay Patel, vice president of Application Services, vCloud Air, VMware. "Perforce running on VMware vCloud Air allows globally dispersed developers working in a hybrid deployments (on-premises or off-premises) to securely collaborate throughout the development lifecycle, reducing both errors and wasted development time."
Perforce enables Continuous Delivery to keep software in a releasable state at all times and says that key versioning requirements for the practice include having a single repository for all enterprise assets, scalability to support highly automated processes, support for collaboration across multi-functional teams, and visibility across all projects.
VMware vCloud Air is a dedicated hybrid cloud service operated by VMware, built on the trusted foundation of VMware vSphere. The service supports existing workloads and third-party applications, as well as new application development, giving IT a common platform for seamlessly extending its data center into the cloud.
"VMware vCloud Air is an ideal platform for Perforce since it provides the same enterprise-grade security and performance both on-premises and at cloud locations across the globe," said Christopher Seiwald, founder and CEO of Perforce. "With VMware vCloud Air we can spin up new resources to support the development lifecycle as demand increases and we get the same performance advantages we've had with our on-premises systems."

SJ7387 : The New Café at Dunham Massey
taken 5 years ago, near to Little Bollington, Cheshire, Great Britain
Dunham Massey Hall and Park
Dunham Massey Hall and garden are immediately west of the village of Dunham Town, with the deer park, the only medieval park in Trafford to survive to the present day, lying to the south of the hall.
The present hall was initially built in 1616, but was later remodelled for George, Earl of Stamford and Warrington between 1732 and 1740; it was also altered towards the end of the eighteenth century and in the early twentieth century. During the First World War, the hall was used as a military hospital.
The hall and grounds were donated to the National Trust by the last Earl of Stamford, in 1976 They are open to the public and are amongst Britains leading visitor attractions, with almost 200000 people visiting in 2010 (Link ). The hall itself, the stables, and the carriage house of Dunham Massey are all Grade I listed buildings

Finding a good photographer is not easy, let alone getting to that professional level. Lots of wonderful things happen around us all the time; being able to see is easy, but being able to capture that very moment is probably the hardest part. That's why you should know what qualities an excellent event photographer must posses.
Perspective - Make sure you hire someone who can share at least three alternatives of how event can be covered. Ask about camera angles and potential shot lists to gauge your photographer's level of creativity. And in which the photographer must know to how add depth and dimension to the picture. Because perspective can hugely influence the way an image will look. It depends on the angle of the picture and the length of the focal that is used.
Flexibility – He/She must have the ability to work with ever-evolving circumstances. Ask your potential photographers about situations that have gone awry at recent events and how they chose to handle the various challenges. Must know how to catch those family memories quickly and easily wherever you are.
Professionalism - Your event photographer should be patient enough to deal with drunk guests, smart enough to avoid come-ons from inappropriate guests, and savvy enough to compromise with uptight security personnel. This trait also is defined to be strict adherence to courtesy, honesty and responsibility when dealing with individuals or other companies in the business environment.
Photograph subjects true curiosity. Find someone in which they are passionate on what they do. And you have to to hire someone who take extraordinary pictures if you want the people see and find the pictures interesting, too. There is no right or wrong thing to photograph. The most improtant thing is make sure that they would capture your precious moments.

Just want to talk about the QBs that are up for ROY, why do RG3 and Luck have a higher QBR than RW even though RW has better stats then Luck and better record than RG3? I guess I don't understand that rating, because if it is suppose to be the total qb rating, wouldn't wins, as well as stats matter? (oh and how in the heck did Cutler have a higher QBR than RW?????
If you were to rate the QB's today, who would be your choice for ROY (try to put your Seahawks shades away if you can).

Jeff Reed is the producer of Focal Point on the American Family Radio. He and his wife attended the March for Life rally in Washington, D.C in January, just days after the inauguration. They attended a Students for Life youth rally that overflowed with young people. The day of the march, 650,000 people were there in support of the Right of unborn babies to live. Led by men and women personally affected by abortion to the steps of the Supreme Court, 2 hours of testimony was given of regret, redemption, and forgiveness from real-life experiences. The liberal media did not cover one minute of this march. However, the next day a crowd gathered near the Washington Monument to support gun control. The media reports said "thousands" of people attended this gun control rally when in fact only 800 people - a generous count - were there. Jeff and his colleagues counted several times, and always came up between 600 and 800. Not quite the "thousands" the media appeared to show on their coverage. We know for sure where the alphabet news agencies stand on abortion, just as we know that what they show us is not always the truth. It rarely is. I believe a legitimate question arises: What really happened at Sandy Hook?

From the time I was a child I have been intrigued with the patterning of light and the interaction of color. In the course of my life path I fell away from any sense of creative freedom, working from what I thought was expected of me. Through the long process of releasing an imposed belief system and replacing it with my own experiences and truths I have become able, emotionally and spiritually to access my child spirit through my adult educated mind. I am powerfully influenced by the passionate colors of the Italian High Renaissance and the gestural freedom of Impressionism and abstract expressionism. The spirituality of the theories in these genres has also had a great impact on me. In my work I seek to establish the intricate web...

2.0 Core Requirements
3.0 Comprehensive Standards
4.0 Federal Requirements
Welcome to the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University SACS website. A&T is in the 2010 cohort for reaffirmation by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. This site provides a detailed view of A&T's compliance with SACS Core Requirements, Comprehensive Standards, and Federal Requirements. The Chancellor's Cabinet led the reaffirmation.
Recognizing that SACS reaffirmation is a university-wide effort requiring the active participation of a broad swath of university stakeholders, we engaged an interdisciplinary team of administrators, faculty, staff, and students. In addition, the A&T Board of Trustees supported the SACS effort by sharing their thoughts on the student learning outcomes focus of the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP).
We began our SACS reaffirmation journey in fall 2007 with the establishment of a 25-member SACS Steering Committee. Twelve subcommittee chairs were selected from the SACS Steering Committee and charged with recruiting and forming their individual teams. The subcommittees were assigned various SACS Principles to draft. To ensure compliance, a twelve-member SACS Document Review Committee read the narratives and provided feedback to the subcommittees. Additionally, a four-member SACS Review Panel went over the reports a second time.
Other committees contributing to the effort included the SACS QEP Committee, QEP Marketing Committee, and a six-member SACS Policies Task Group. The SACS Liaisons in the offices of the deans were a critical connection to their schools and colleges in helping us collect information and documents.
Thanks to all Aggies, and others, who assisted with the reaffirmation.
In the center of the home page are three tabs: Welcome, Navigator, and Principles. The "Navigator" tab takes you to an electronic copy of these instructions. The "Principles" tab takes you to a complete listing of the SACS Principles. Clicking on the principle number, or the narrative title, will take you to the report.
At the end of each narrative report you will see a list of the Supporting Documents for that SACS Principle. View the documents by clicking on the hyperlink title. Supporting documents are PDF file types and easily readable using Adobe Acrobat. A downloadable Adobe Acrobat Reader v9.0 is provided on the DVD in the "SACS.Additional Software" folder. Clicking on the reference numbers in the narrative, for example [1], takes you to the supporting documents section at the end of the narrative. Click on the supporting document name to display the document. If you click on a document number in the Supporting Documents list at the end of a narrative before you click on any of the document numbers within that narrative, the narrative report closes.
The lower left menu with the SACS Principles listed provides quick access to each narrative report and its supporting documents.

Colonized by English settlers from Saint Kitts in 1650, Anguilla was administered by Great Britain until the early 19th century, when the island – against the wishes of the inhabitants – was incorporated into a single British dependency along with Saint Kitts and Nevis. Several attempts at separation failed. In 1971, two years after a revolt, Anguilla was finally allowed to secede; this arrangement was formally recognized in 1980, with Anguilla becoming a separate British dependency.

Economy – overview:
Anguilla has few natural resources, and the economy depends heavily on luxury tourism, offshore banking, lobster fishing, and remittances from emigrants. Increased activity in the tourism industry has spurred the growth of the construction sector contributing to economic growth. Anguillan officials have put substantial effort into developing the offshore financial sector, which is small but growing. In the medium term, prospects for the economy will depend largely on the tourism sector and, therefore, on revived income growth in the industrialized nations as well as on favorable weather conditions.

Manchester is an easy city to negotiate with a substantial public transport system. The Metrolink Rapid Transit system trams are fast and efficient, while the Metroshuttle City Centre buses are free and run on two circular routes, including all major rail stations, bus stops and Metrolink stops. System One Travelcards offer a variety of options for discounted, unlimited use of public transport. There are plenty of car hire companies and taxis available and the Manchester Airport is only 15 minutes away from the city centre. Manchester also has a system of cycling paths, although these can be a bit risky and intimidating during heavy traffic.
GMT (GMT +1 from last Sunday in March to last Sunday in October).
The electrical current in the UK is 230 volts, 50Hz. Flat three-pin plugs are standard.
The currency is the British Pound (GBP), which is divided into 100 pence. ATMs are available in almost all towns and Visa, MasterCard and American Express are widely accepted; visitors with other cards should check with their credit card companies in advance. Foreign currency can be exchanged at bureaux de change and large hotels, however better exchange rates are likely to be found at banks.
The international country dialling code for the UK is +44. Mobile phone coverage is extensive, using GSM 1800 networks which may not be compatible with some dual-band US cell phones. Internet cafes are available in all major towns and cities, train stations and airports and wifi is widely available.

Everything about travel documents
There are regular trains between the airport and Manchester Piccadilly railway station, which has connections to destinations throughout the UK. Buses service Manchester city centre as well as other local towns and cities. National Express operates coach services to cities all over the UK. All buses, coaches and trains leave from The Station, the airport's new transport interchange that is connected to all terminals by a covered walkway. Taxis are available outside all terminals.
Car rental companies include Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, National and Sixt.
Taxis are available outside all terminals. Fares into Manchester are determined by the meter, while other destinations may be charged at a flat rate.
The Skylink travellator system links Terminals 1 and 2, while 1 and 3 are linked by an external walkway.
There are restaurants, shops and bars in all three terminals. Other facilities include ATMs, bureaux de change and left luggage. Disabled facilities are good; those with special needs should inform their airline or travel agent in advance.
Short-term parking at Manchester International Airport is charged at £3 for the first 30 minutes, £5.40 for an hour, £9 for two hours, £17 for four hours and so on up to £38 per day. Long-term parking is charged at £31 for the first day, £50 for two days, and £10 per day thereafter. It is a good idea to book parking in advance via the airport's website in the peak summer season, as the car park can be full.
Wifi is available, and free for the first hour.

James Brown once sang Papa's Got a Brand New Bag . Well, it may be a different kind of bag than what the Godfather was singing about, but now everybody can feel better than James Brown and keep their laptop in their "checkpoint friendly" bag as long it meets certain criteria . You may already own a "checkpoint friendly " bag and not even know it.
Tomorrow (8/16) is the day that new laptop procedures roll out nationwide.
For all of you Debbie Downers out there, we realize that purchasing or owning one of these bags isn't your free ticket to never have your laptop searched again. However, there is a darned good chance that your laptop won't be searched. To put it in perspective, how many times has your laptop been searched when it's been out of the bag? It's pretty rare.
Just think of it this way, as long as there is nothing in your bag besides the laptop, you're good to go. But, please remember that our Officers are trained to look for anomalies and if something looks odd or out of place, they will search your laptop. Next time you go through security, look around and see how many laptops are undergoing secondary screening. It's rare.
Now I know what you're thinking. You're a road warrior and you've got all sorts of cables, adapters, gadgets and gizmos. You're probably wondering where you're going to put all of that stuff. Have no fear, several manufacturers have been hard at work designing bags that meet "checkpoint friendly" criteria . Just Google "checkpoint friendly laptop bags" and you'll have a wide variety to choose from. Just remember, the TSA does not endorse any of these bags and you'll need to be aware of our criteria to ensure you buy the right type of bag. These are some examples of bags that meet our criteria.
This new procedure will make things a little easier for our travelers while lessening the amount of preparation and recomposure time. Hopefully this will reduce your hassle factor at the checkpoint and make for happier passengers and happy passengers make the bad guys stand out.
Happy traveling and we hope to hear from you here about your experiences with the new procedures.

Developer text retrieval software company dtSearch Corp has produced version 7.72 of its core product line so that expanded proprietary document filters are included.
For customers in need of data parsing, conversion, and extraction only, the dtSearch Engine (with APIs in native 64-bit/32-bit, Win/Linux C++, Java, and .NET through current versions) also provides the document filters for separate OEM licensing.
These document filters support data formats including web-ready static data. This covers integrated image and text support in HTML, XML/XSL, and PDF. Web-based dynamic data is also covered through the dtSearch Spider, so this covers integrated image and text support in PHP, ASP.NET, SharePoint, etc.
Through the dtSearch Engine APIs there is cover for SQL-type databases along with the full-text of BLOB data; all products support Access, XBASE, XML, CSV, and so on. Microsoft Office documents are also supported along with emails and email attachments in MS Exchange, Outlook (PST/MSG), Thunderbird (MBOX/EML), and other popular email types, including nested email attachments.
For all supported formats, the document filters support data parsing and optional extraction, as well conversion to HTML for browser display with highlighted hits.
dtSearch enterprise and developer products can index over a terabyte of data in a single index, spanning multiple directories, emails and attachments, online data, and other databases. The products can create and search any number of indexes.
Indexed search time is typically less than a second, even across terabytes of data. The product line also supports highly concurrent, multithreaded searching.
In terms of developer SDKs, the dtSearch Engine for Win & .NET and the dtSearch Engine for Linux make available dtSearch instant searching and document filters (both together with searching as well as available for separate licensing) for a wide range of Internet, Intranet, and other commercial applications. SDKs include native 64-bit and 32-bit C++, Java, and .NET (through current versions) APIs.
