Georgia Shocks No. 8 Tennessee, 78-63
Jan. 23, 2010

ATHENS, Ga. -- Bruce Pearl insists No. 8 Tennessee was not fooled by its lofty ranking or by Georgia's winless start in the SEC.
Pearl said he warned his players Georgia was a dangerous opponent. The Bulldogs then showed why.
Trey Thompkins scored 21 points and Georgia led by double digits most of the way to beat Tennessee 78-63 on Saturday and end the Vols' seven-game winning streak.
Georgia ended Tennessee's streak of 10 straight wins in the series, including eight straight under Pearl.
"I thought we played hard," Pearl said. "This wasn't that we weren't handling success. We didn't get beat because we came in here overconfident and didn't respect the opponent. We got beat by a better team today. It was clear."
Georgia (9-8, 1/3 Southeastern Conference) made 7-of-12 3-point attempts to give first-year coach Mark Fox his first SEC win. Georgia's 0-3 start in the conference included losses by eight points at No. 3 Kentucky and by four points to No. 21 Mississippi.
"It's a big confidence-builder," said Travis Leslie, who had several jams and 19 points, nine rebounds and seven assists as he continues to emerge as a scoring complement to Thompkins. "It was a great win and we need to keep moving on so we can get other wins like this one."
Scotty Hopson led Tennessee (15-3, 3-1) with 19 points and was the only Vols player to make a 3-pointer. The Vols made only 3-of-16 attempts beyond the 3-point line, including 3-of-6 by Hopson, who also was the only Tennessee player to make a 3 in the Vols' 63-56 win at Alabama on Tuesday night.
"I'm just obviously disappointed," Pearl said. "I thought we'd get much better looks against the zone. This is two straight games now that Scotty is the only guy who has made a 3-ball. When you go against a 2-3 zone, you've got to be able to shoot a little bit."
Georgia took the lead for good less than 3 minutes into the game.
"Our guys deserve credit for playing well and making the plays they had to because they beat a good basketball team," Fox said.
Georgia, which beat Tennessee for the first time since Feb. 21, 2004, had a 35-24 advantage on the glass. Thompkins, a sophomore, had eight rebounds and three steals.
"We got smashed, we got beat horribly on the rebounds," said Tennessee's Kenny Hall. "We were not executing, lacked poise. ... We weren't getting stops. We were just going back and forth, and when you're down by 20 points, that's not going to work."
Hall said Georgia's dominance in rebounds was not the result of superior size.
"It was just the fact that it felt like they wanted it more," Hall said.
Bobby Maze added 11 points and Hall had 10.
Senior Wayne Chism, who had only 6 points, launched an air ball on Tennessee's first possession, setting the pace for a poor first half. The Vols led 4-2 before Georgia scored 12 straight points. Leslie had a breakaway reverse jam following a steal, and Jeremy Price added another jam for a 14-4 lead.
"We played very well on both ends of the floor in the first half," Fox said. "We were fortunate to play with the lead, which made the game much easier. That first half might have been as well as we have played all year."
Thompkins had 14 points in the first half, including a dunk to give Georgia a 40-20 lead.
The Bulldogs, backed by a rare sellout crowd of 10,523, led 42-27 at the half. It was Georgia's first sellout since Feb. 7, 2007 against Florida and its first win over a top 10 team since Feb. 14, 2004 against then-No. 8 Kentucky.
Chism was escorted to the locker room after sustaining a hyperextended left knee with 9:22 remaining in the first half. He returned less than 2 minutes later.
The Vols were denied their first 4-0 start in the conference in 21 years.
"At some point we were going to lose a game," Pearl said. "You know you're going to lose a game on the road in the SEC. There won't be a lot of people who win here. I'm certain of that."

Taking A Drug Test While Smoking Weed? Here's What To Know & Do
While there are no sure ways to pass a cannabis urinalysis without abstaining, there are a few things you can do to help yourself.
Now that over half the states have legalized either medical or recreational cannabis, it might be easy to assume users are in the clear when it comes to taking a drug test for work. While this would be true if we lived in a perfect world, it's not, and we don't. Even in states like Colorado, the flagship state for recreational cannabis, employers can deny work or terminate a position if they feel their employee is using cannabis. The issue really lies within the urinalysis itself, which detects cannabis metabolites that hang around far longer than any high.
Knowing how the test works
Unlike alcohol, cocaine or prescription pills, which are water soluble and can pass through your system in a matter of days, cannabis metabolites are fat soluble. This means they stay in a smoker's system much longer than any other kind of drug.
Exactly how long the metabolites will be detachable can vary greatly from person to person. Some things that affect the lifespan of these positive-test-causing chemicals is an individual's weight, activity level, and diet. The less fat a person has on their body, the more quickly the metabolites will diminish.
The standard urine drug test for cannabis will be deemed positive if the given sample has more than 50 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml). Generally, for someone who uses once a week or less, cannabis will be undetectable after one-five days.
Users who indulge regularly, or more than once a week, can give a positive result for up to three weeks. Heavy users, those who smoke multiple times a day, can find traces of cannabis in their systems anywhere from four to six weeks after halting use.
Users should not try to explain their positive test result away by saying they were in the same room as someone who was smoking. While catching a second-hand high might be plausible, a person would literally have to sit in a very small, confined space with many heavy smokers for hours in order to reach the positive result threshold.
How to pass a drug test
While there is no way to indefinitely pass a drug screening without abstaining from use for a given time, there are certain things users can do to better than chances.
The first step, and the most important, is to stop using as soon as you're aware a test is coming. If there are a few weeks before the sample is to be collected, begin a daily exercise regimen to make yourself sweat as much as possible.
Sweating burns fat, which, in turn, gives cannabis metabolites fewer places to be stored. Start eating a lean diet. Again, less fat means less stored metabolites.
Drinking copious amounts of water is probably the most crucial step, and easiest to follow, to passing a cannabis urine drug test. Water will help to dilute the system and cannabis metabolites.
However, new age testing has been perfected to recognized diluted samples. To help combat dilution, take 50-100 milligrams of Vitamin B-2. This will give urine the correct color profile, as well as show that there are nutrients in your system, not just water.
Stay away from drinks that promise to clean the system and mask cannabis. They're often expensive and, more times than not, fail the consumer. Not to mention, their ingredients can be dangerous and wreak havoc on the body.

Here at Titan we focus on building lean muscle in order to become healthy and lose weight, so get ready to lift! Lifting heavy causes stress on the body, forcing it to adapt. When this happens the body secretes hormones like testosterone and growth hormone, which promote lean muscle tissue and mobilize fat for use as fuel. Increasing lean muscle tissue helps reduce body fat because it leads to a higher Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). That's not all, though. Lifting heavy triggers a more profound Excess Post Oxygen Consumption (EPOC), which also elevates your metabolism and helps reduce body fat long after your workout. And don't worry! We include interval training in every class at Titan, so you can be sure to get a great cardio workout, too. Strength training mixed with interval training is the ideal combination, proven to show the best results in body composition. Our small group setup is the perfect way to lift heavy and work hard in a safe environment because you will receive individualized attention from our trainers and coaches. Join us today for an empowering and effective workout!

Many people under the age of 30 have probably never heard of The Who, unless you remember the "old guys" who performed at the Superbowl halftime show in 2010. Their hit "My Generation" helped define their generation in the 1960s, but that was before my time. I'm not sure what song defined my generation: we were told in song to be "hungry like the wolf" (Duran Duran), exhorted to "walk like an Egyptian" (The Bangles), and assured that "everybody wants to rule the world" (Tears for Fears). Musically, it was a confusing time.
While we may not have had a song that defined us, my generation was the first to use computers on a larger scale. My parents paid more than $4,000 for an Apple II in 1980. Back in the day, the Internet was called a bulletin board system (BBS), and I remember using my 300 baud modem to host my own BBS with my best friend. We were in awe of anyone who had a 1200 baud modem, or the real rock stars of technology who were lucky enough to lay their hands on a 9600 baud modem.
Kids now learn to use computers at a very young age and are exposed to technology that I never dreamed of. It's truly the digital age for media and content, all being delivered over the Internet via a smartphone or tablet.
Meeting the Demands of a New Generation
In a new study by Nielsen, there is a new generation they call Generation C, those ranging in age from 18-34. Generation C makes up 23% of the U.S. population, but their consumption of digital media represents an outsized portion of consumers. This is the group that will be moving into positions in industry now, and over the next 10 years, and will have a direct influence on how companies operate, interact with consumers, deliver content, and communicate with their workforce. Since this is the largest group of users driving adoption in the industry for the foreseeable future, we have to be prepared to offer services that this consumer is expecting.
One of the emerging trends to support demand for this group is cloud-based services. Cloud services allow users to access content from any Internet connection using a smartphone, tablet, computer, laptop or virtually any connected device. Even when it comes to security, users will want full control of their system over the Internet—using their mobile devices. They refuse to be tied down to accessing only locally.
Our MAXPRO® Cloud will allow those users to access their video anytime, anywhere there is an Internet connection—and with Generation C, that appears to be everywhere. Today, we're debuting our MAXPRO Cloud hosted video service at ISC West, so stop in and see a product demonstration. If you're not in Vegas, check out the video below.
If YouTube is blocked, you can view the video here.
And then get ready, because the Internet generation is now in charge—and companies that aren't providing services to meet demand will be left behind…along with my 300 baud modem.

- Worldwide, there are approximately 13.5 million members of the Church.
- In the United States, nearly 6 million people, approximately 1.6 percent of the population, are members of the Church. (Source: 2007 U.S. Religious Landscape Survey, Pew Forum)
In 2009, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had:
- 363,048 high school seminary students
- 337,352 institute students, single, between the ages of 18 and 30
- 51,736 missionaries
- 28,424 congregations

- 142,085 Cub Scouts in 10,345 packs
- 205,990 Boy Scouts in 19,285 troops
- 64,645 Venturers in 8,298 crews
Religious Principles and Key Terms
- Aaronic Priesthood: Named for Aaron, the brother of Moses in the Old Testament, it is conferred upon faithful male members of the Church beginning at age 12 and includes the offices of deacon, teacher, and priest. Aaronic Priesthood holders:
- Prepare and offer the sacrament (communion) to Church members during Sunday worship services.
- Help to visit members in their homes.
- Collect contributions for the poor.
- Perform other service duties.
- Articles of Faith: Written in 1842 by Joseph Smith, they outline the 13 basic points of belief of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
- Bishop: Leader of a local congregation (known as a ward), with duties similar to those of a pastor, priest, or rabbi. The bishop has two counselors, and the three (known as the bishopric) are unpaid. The bishop is registered with the BSA as the institution head; one of his counselors is usually registered as the chartered organization representative.
- Book of Mormon: Published in 1830 by Joseph Smith, it is the sacred text of the Church.
- Branch: Local congregation, smaller than a ward, in an area where the Church is in a developing stage.Once developed, a branch can become a ward. The leader of a branch is called the branch president; he and his two counselors are known as the branch presidency. The branch president is the institution head; one of the counselors usually serves as the chartered organization representative.
- Calling: An invitation to a member to accept an office or responsibility in the Church. Worthy adults, members or non-members of the Church, may be "called" to serve as Scout leaders.
- First Presidency: Highest ruling body and final authority of all matters of the Church, it is composed of the President of the Church and two Apostles who serve as counselors. All three are referred to as "President."
- Mormon: A fourth-century prophet in the Americas who abridged the historical and religious records of his people onto metal plates which later became known as the Book of Mormon. The name "Mormon" has become an unofficial nickname for members of the Church. When referring to Church members, the term "Latter-day Saints" is preferred, although "Mormon" is also acceptable.
- Primary: Church organization for children ages three through 11. The Primary presidency supervises Scouting for Primary boys ages eight through 11:
- Cub Scouts (Wolf and Bear), ages 8 and 9
- Webelos Scouts, age 10
- Boys in the patrol, 11-year-old Scouts
- Quorum: Organized group of brethren who hold the same office in the priesthood. They may be ordained to an office in the Aaronic Priesthood starting at age 12. Young men are registered to age appropriate Scouting units that consist of members of their priesthood quorums:
- Deacons quorum: Boy Scouts, ages 12 to 13
- Teachers quorum: Varsity Scouts, ages 14 to 15
- Priests quorum: Venturers, ages 16 to 18
- Stake: Geographical subdivision of the Church composed of several wards (similar to a diocese). The stake presidency consists of the stake president (the leader of the stake) and two counselors.
- Ward: Basic geographical unit of the Church, consisting of several hundred members in a single congregation, presided over by a bishop and two counselors. In BSA terminology, the ward is the chartered organization.
Role of Scouting in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
- Recognized as a part of the Boy Scouts of America in 1913, Scouting in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints works to provide leisure-time activities, particularly along spiritual and cultural lines, for the young men of the Church.
- The Scouting unit within the Church is an extension of the home and Church and functions as an integral part of the Church's activity program.
- A Cub Scout pack, Boy Scout troop, and Varsity team should be chartered by every ward and branch that has two or more boys of the particular age served by the program.
- Venturing is optional, but recommended, as the activity of the priests' quorum.
- The Church uses age instead of school grade to determine membership in Scouting programs. Separate age-group units are encouraged to maintain quorum integrity, identity, and lines of authority.

Erbanna Is the Line of Bags That Weed Smokers Don't Even Know How Badly They Need
Having an organized and stylish place to keep your weed that you can leave out in plain sight is an option any adult deserves.
I have a crazy-busy Halloween weekend planned, but still haven't decided what to wear. The main problem being that I am somewhat of a cheapskate, and it pains me to spend too much on some crappy novelty costume I'm only going to wear once. So I've been filing away ideas for clothing I could wear to a Halloween party, but that I wouldn't be embarrassed to wear when I'm not shoving pumpkin-shaped peanut butter cups in my face. Allow me to share them with you.
Keep Watch leggings ($64.99, MishkaNYC.com) OK, I might be alone in my thinking on this one -- and it's not really a "costume" so much as just a Halloween-appropriate item of clothing-- but I would rock these suckers 24-7, 365 days a year. Could there BE anything better to wear for a night of scary movie-watching with your friends? Especially if you paired them with a classic ribcage T-shirt, like so:
I'm way into this nicely fitted version by Smarmy Clothing ($35, Etsy.com), which was made by hand-painting the shirt with bleach. I LOVE IT, and they offer them in sizes S-3X which is always a plus (I'm not making a pun there, Jane, I swear).
See the Stars dress ($74.99, ModCloth.com) I am always in favor of looking like a powerful superheroine, and this strapless number does the job handily -- and without exposing 20 miles of buttcheek, unlike your typical leotard-based costumes. Pair this with some knee-high boots, gold bracelets, plus a red cardigan if you're cold and you have a costume that says "comic book babe" without being too on-the-nose. Make sure your hair is big and shiny, too.
I would also wear this dress on the Fourth of July, like a big ol' patriotic nerd! Or just to a picnic. Or to the the beach, the grocery store, to walk the dog -- just wherever! Stars are cute.
The Knitted Dress with Lace Collar ($78.57, ASOS.com) would be a great choice for a grown-up Wednesday Addams look ... or I suppose you could go in a "saucy Puritan" direction, if that's your thing (put your hair in a bun and pin a scarlet "A" on yourself). But for Wednesday -- just wear it with a severe center part and braids, black tights, and ankle boots. I like the simplicity of this look, and the fact that it's made of cotton and therefore is probably pretty damn comfortable.
I actually tried on this leopard print Boatneck Sweater Dress ($44.94, OldNavy.com) a couple weeks ago and it was really soft and adorable, I may just go back and get it. You could do the obvious thing here, which would be to pair it with glamour-girl type accessories for a pin-up look -- but I'd dress it down for a "Cozy Cavewoman" costume. Rat your hair and pull it into a high, bone-bedecked ponytail a la Pebbles Flintstone, add a chunky necklace like Wilma, and dare to go barefoot (or maybe just wear some nude-colored ballet flats for a barefoot look without the discomfort).
Embarrassing admission: I look at this Metallic Dress ($189, Zara.com) online about once a week. I will never buy it though, because it would probably flatten my boobs too much, I don't want to spend $189 right now, and I would feel weird about wearing a leather dress. I freaking love how it looks though, so I really want somebody to buy and wear this and be a sexy robot or cyborg of some kind. Yeah, I know, I'm not supposed to want to dress sexy on Halloween -- but this isn't one of those skanky looks some costume manufacturer is foisting upon me. Besides, I like to feel sexy, and something about this dress does it for me. You know, if I had smaller boobs.
I leave you with the Ruffle Neck Swing Dress (ON SALE for $20.95, ASOS.com). Imagine this without the dazed expression and noncommital hairdo pictured above. Instead, I want you to picture this worn with flats, a pixie-cut wig, and freckles dotted on with eyebrow pencil. Also, as an accessory: a baby doll to which you have glued devil horns. MIA FARROW IN ROSEMARY'S BABY, people! Any minidress with a swing shape will do, preferably with a big peter pan collar if you can find one.
Have you narrowed down your own costume choices yet? Do you dress up at all? If not, who destroyed the child in you? Viva la Halloween!

Look for strollers with the JPMA certification seal. You will need to decide on a lightweight stroller for easier maneuvering or a larger stroller for a smoother ride. Features to look for: comfortable handle height, storage basket, reclining seat, easy to fasten restraining straps. Take the models you like best for a test drive around the store.
Choose a bag with long shoulder straps so it's comfortable. Diaper bags with changing pads make changing easy wherever you travel. Look for multiple waterproof compartments with zipper closings. Along with a large bag for long trips you may want to consider a small bag for quick trips. Something to carry a few diapers, wipes and bottles.
A monitor is helpful for hearing baby cry when your out of the room or in another part of the house. Some models transmit not only sounds but also flashing lights in case you are running the vacuum or watching TV. Most receivers will clip on your belt for mobility. One point of interest: some monitors will transmit sounds over other monitors or portable phones in the area. So be careful what you discuss, as your neighbors may also be in on the conversation!
This is great for calming an unhappy baby. Look for swings operated with a quiet wind feature rather than a noisy hand crank. Swings with an on/off switch eliminate winding, but require batteries. Do not use a baby swing with babies younger than 6 weeks as they are still small enough to fall out.
A crib mobile can be a great thing for keeping baby entertained during changing and when going to sleep. Remember to remove the mobile when your baby can pull himself up.
You will want a chair with an easy to remove and lock tray, a wide top to catch spills and messes, and a wide non-tip base. There are chairs on the market now that can be adjusted up or down and tilted back for ease of feeding the very young baby. These extra features can be helpful but not absolutely necessary.

Guest post by Catherine Nagel, executive director of EarthShare member organization City Parks Alliance
Urban parks are dynamic institutions that play a vital role in the social, economic and physical well-being of America's cities and their residents. Since the mid-19th century, with the introduction of large-scale parks in cities across America including New York, Boston, Louisville, Chicago, Minneapolis, Washington, DC and San Francisco, America's city parks have provided a respite from the stress of urban life for millions of people. They have also advanced democratic life, bringing people together across social, economic and racial divides.
City parks suffered from disinvestment following World War II, when people moved away from urban areas. Many parks became places to avoid. But an urban renaissance in the past few decades has refocused attention on parks and their potential to help address critical contemporary urban needs--from health, housing, education and environmental justice, to local economic development and crime mitigation. Parks are now recognized as a powerful tool to improve urban life. Here are some major benefits that urban parks provide:
Public Health – Research shows that routine physical activity contributes to well-being and longevity, helping to prevent multiple chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, depression and cancer. But most Americans – adults and children – don't meet the recommended daily guidelines. Parks are an ideal place for movement, providing the room needed for running, walking, sports and other active pursuits.
Environmental Value – A network of parks and open spaces that include protected natural lands, ecological reserves, wetlands, and other green areas is critical to providing healthy habitats for humans, wildlife and plants in dense urban areas. Every tree helps improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and pollutants. And a park's green infrastructure—not only trees, but garden vegetation and grassy areas—helps clean our water by capturing and filtering stormwater runoff.
Economic Value – Cities and metropolitan regions are economic engines critical to a nation's ability to compete globally. Knowledge workers, workers in creative industries, families and young people are increasingly choosing urban areas that offer amenities that contribute to an excellent quality of life. A well-designed, programmed and maintained system of city parks is an essential component of any city's strategy for attracting and retaining a strong workforce and spurring local investment.
Community Value – Neighborhood parks can draw in and connect individuals of all ages and backgrounds who share a vision for the betterment of their surroundings and take pride in where they live. But most of today's youth spend more time indoors than out and in many communities children simply do not have access to parks that are clean and safe. Parks are vital community assets where young people can grow and learn – through recreation and interaction with nature – and where people of all ages can get involved in civic life.
While city parks and green spaces offer these and many other benefits, public funding for their creation and long-term stewardship continues to decline. For 15 years, City Parks Alliance has worked to promote an expanded role for urban parks by engaging, educating and nurturing a growing network of urban leaders–from neighborhood groups to government agencies, championing high quality urban parks throughout the nation – and making the case for greater park investment from both the public and private sectors to achieve multiple benefits for our cities. Our vision is that everyone in urban America will have access to parks and green spaces that are clean, safe and vibrant.

Taking and sharing process photos / Prendre et partager des photos du processus
I get why some artists don't do it, but I really think they should.
Je comprends pourquoi certains artistes ne le font pas, mais je pense vraiment qu'ils devraient l'essayer.
This goes back to a recent theme in my vlogs about how being your own art historian is good for your creativity. In the last month, I've talked about the importance of acknowledging your sources and about how dating your art is a good idea. Also, I'm not a fan of the whole make-art-seem-magical thing as I explain in this video.
Cela remonte à une idée dont je parle beaucoup en ce moment, l'idée qu'être son propre historien d'art est bon pour la créativité. J'ai fait un vidéoblog sur l'importance de reconnaître vos sources et un autre sur pourquoi il faut mettre une date sur votre art. Aussi, je ne suis pas fan du concept que l'art est magique comme j'explique dans cette vidéo.
This is the last piece from my 2012 series Crime Against Nature to have its process shots shown. In some ways, it's like I'm finally finishing that series by posting this video.
Ceci est la dernière œuvre qui fait partie du Crime contre nature, achevé en 2012, pour laquelle je montre les images du processus. Dans un sens, c'est un peu comme si je termine vraiment ce projet en publiant cette vidéo.

(17) Comments / Commentaires: Taking and sharing process photos / Prendre et partager des photos du processus
A thoughtful post so thank you:)
As an artist who does some copies as a way of learning, I find process shots to be really helpful. I also like descriptions both written and verbal. It all adds to my understanding of the art and the artist. It helps me to relate.
Self confidence is such a big deal; I think it is the main thing behind sharing one's artistic process. And like you said, I also think that people whether consciously or not want to present a certain image, namely that of the "artist fully formed."
Thanks for another good post!
PS-And what about chefs that have their own cooking shows and share the entire process along with tips, videos, and written info in the form of books? I never see them freaking out about having their ideas stolen.
Coucou Gwenn !
ça fait longtemps que je ne t'ai pas écrit et tu me manques !!!
la plupart du temps j'oublierais même de photographier mes tableaux une fois finis, alors penser à prendre des photos en cours de travail…j'avoue que cela me dépasse, et pourtant tu as raison c'est super de voir le processus des autres artistes et je devrais songer à me "forcer" un peu car c'est décevant oui de ne pas pouvoir coller son nez sur l'oeuvre et tenter de comprendre comment ça marche ! il m'arrive de passer des heures les yeux sur mon écran pour ça ! je vais y penser désormais…gros bisous my Dear Gwenn.
@Libby: Recipes and fashion seem to be mostly immune from the worry of stealing. For fashion, it is built into the law to some degree, but it seems to me that for the art of food it's about chefs truly understanding their hand in the food they make—knowing that no one will ever make a recipe quite like they do. Also, they seem to understand more fully than other artists that they will continue to invent new recipes and that those inventions can only come from their mind. Chefs seem to know that fans support an artist for their future work as much as for current or past work.
@Cati: Je le fais chaque matin. Comme ça c'est fait, et je n'ai pas à y penser. Good luck!
I enjoy sharing process shots, but I often forget to stop and take them. I enjoy seeing them on other artists blogs. It really helps me to learn new techniques.
I can say for me, it is not a matter of the "artist fully formed" as much as it is the artist "who isn't doing it right". ha ha
I am not really that insecure, but I think a bit of that is in the back of my head. And I just am not sure I have put in enough time, to have much to teach anyone else.
Still, I will try to do more of this in the future. Thought provoking as always Gwenn!
@Sheila: I've had other artists (usually on YouTube, that unfortunate haven for trolls) say nasty things about my process shots and it does hurt my feelings. Sharing process definitely is vulnerable, but, no matter what the mean people say, it feels less vulnerable when I show process images along with the finished piece. Since I'm confident in the completed work, the mistakes that my process shots reveal can only be good mistakes!
I love process shots! And how-to videos! I work with a rather odd sort of art, and there aren't very many sculptors out there making rolling ball sculpture, at least not on a regular basis. The pool of knowledge is growing, but it is still on the small side, and you can't pull up a thousand videos about "how to weld rolling ball sculpture" like you can many other types of art.
When I started out I had to comb through a few choice internet archives for the information I needed. If the readily-accessible areas didn't provide what I needed, I had to do a lot of my own sleuthing to track things down.
After some time had passed I had learned enough that I could pass a bit on to others, and I started getting requests for information. I made a couple of videos to show people some basics. My thought was, "Maybe there's someone new out there who's dying to learn this stuff, and they can't find it anywhere. Maybe I can help someone else."
Process shots are often a help to other artists, but they are also fun, at least for me they are. Shoot, my stuff takes so long to make, if I didn't provide process shots I'd only have a couple dozen photos to show for the past seven years of work! I have started posting on Instagram, and it's pretty apparent to me that all kinds of people like to see a project come together.
And, it doesn't matter if I post process shots. People still look at the finished piece and say, "How on earth did you do that!"
@Tom: The impulse to be helpful was part of the initial drive behind my blog. I wanted to be the resource I'd been looking for—both with the process shots and with any marketing tips. Now that blogs and social media have become more about promotion, I feel like there's less of that helpful we-can-do-it feeling on the Web, but I like that it's still there in places. It makes me happy for humanity!
And as for what you said about people still not understanding how you made your art even when they've seen process shots, I think that says good things for your art. After all, if your process shots ruin the mystery of the finished piece, there may be something wrong with the finished piece!
There are only so many things you can show with process shots, Gwen, you know? If you show enough process shots to explain every detail, well, then you have a video! Process shots are a fun way to give people an idea of what goes into your work, and for me they have occasionally served as a very necessary journal of my own processes, because sometime I forget how I did something!
I like what you said about the Web being a collective that fosters and encourages the accomplishment of a goal, be it art or any other type of effort. There's a lot of power in that, and I'd rather be known as one of those people that is willing to help others than someone who is trying to tightly hold on to every single thing he has. I would like to be an artist that people want to be involved with, and it seems to be that you need to put that message out there to people in a variety of ways so that they can respond to it. I can't help everyone, but I certainly can make an effort to help in some way.
One way I find it beneficial is contrasting the painting when I think it is almost done and the affect of the last few tweaks. Especially when you have managed to go from good to wow.
I use the process shots as a blog when I am stumped for a blog topic. I think it also helps a potential buyer relate to you as a person and may get them drawn into the process and thereby build a connection with a piece.
So I am that artist who does not take process shots and the main reason is that it is not a part of my process. Occasionally if I take a studio shot it will show several paintings in different stages, but this is more about the space I am working in and happens when I am working towards a show. My paintings come from the act of painting and the process varies. Some pieces end up with layers and layers, sometimes with entire paintings completed somewhere underneath the final image. Other times a painting comes together more quickly, more simply. I think of painting as a visual conversation I am having with myself. It is personal during the process and when it is finished it is public. Your process Gwenn, is a very open and public conversation, you literally talk about it from so many different aspects of your life and that is compelling. I really enjoy your questions and answers, your communication with your audience. I have a hard enough time just writing a blog post when I finish a painting, and you at least inspire me to try to write more~!
I find the radical evolution of your pictures (e.g. goats and piglets videos) to be rather magical; the exact opposite of "hiding the magic"!
@Dave: Definitely good for a blog! I think that process shots open up an artist's brain to thinking about their art in a new way, and that helps with the blog too.
@CJY: I hear you about varying amounts of layers and about the privacy of it. I've certainly made my process public, but it isn't always an easy choice—sometimes I wonder what my paintings would look like if I hadn't. In any case, I'd be fascinated to see how your work comes together. No pressure, but I thought you should know!
@Martinique: I wonder if maybe the people who like to the process of art are the same people who like to dig into the process of life, however messy and emotional it is. Yes, I am saying something about you. I'd also like to say that you are magical to me. That is all.
I love watching your process. Painting is not just magic but a lot of work and magic. I love seeing the transitions and evolution to the finished product. Delightful. Thanks so much for sharing.
@Joy: Who would want to live in a world where there was no more work? Just as boring as a world without magic! Thank you for your kind words!
Here you go Gwenn Process shots :
@CJY: Like I said on Facebook, thank you for sharing these! Your brain confuses and delights me, and seeing these makes me think of new ways I might try working!! Did taking the process shots interrupt your flow or make you feel weird about the painting? There's a painting I made for which I counted the hours I worked, and looking at the clock obsessively as I painted made the process for that piece a little weird for me.
Hi Gwenn - strangely just now got an email alerting me to your reply. It did make me feel a little weird and interrupt the flow. But since the above process shot experiment and joining Instagram I am occasionally taking process shots with my phone. Does not feel so weird anymore and it is interesting to look back at them once the painting is completed. I've thought about keeping track of hours too but because I work on multiples at once I'd never get an accurate count for each piece. Also it's a bit depressing to break a sale down to the hourly wage + materials.

|[jira] Commented: (COUCHDB-988) Rewrite couch_key_tree.erl
|Wed, 15 Dec 2010 00:18:01 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-988?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12971493#action_12971493 ] Jan Lehnardt commented on COUCHDB-988: -------------------------------------- For posterity: Damien's proposal to fix term_to_binary: http://www.erlang.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi/3/387 The shot-down: http://www.erlang.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3:msn:387 And the final OTP R13B release change log entry: OTP-7894 The term_to_binary/1 BIF used to be implemented with recursive C code, which could cause the Erlang emulator to terminate because of a stack overflow. Also fixed some minor issues in term_to_binary/1 and binary_to_term/1 pointed out by Matthew Dempsky. > Rewrite couch_key_tree.erl > -------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-988 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-988 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Database Core > Reporter: Paul Joseph Davis > Priority: Minor > > The current key tree module is a fairly complicated piece of code with enough subtlety to fill three romance novels. This ticket is a proposal to rewrite the current module with an algorithm that will be more easy to reason about. Here I'll write a brief explanation of the current algorithms, and then a short proposal for a simpler algorithm. > A key tree is used to represent the edit history of a document. Each node of the tree represents a particular version of the document. Relations between nodes represent the order that these edits were applied. For instance, a simple tree with a single linear path A->B->C means that the edit C was based on the version B which was in turn based on A. In a world without replication (and no ability to disable MVCC checks), all histories would be forced to be linear lists of edits due to constraints imposed by MVCC (ie, new edits must be based on the current version). However, we have replication, so we must deal with not so easy cases. > Consider a document in state A. This doc is replicated to a second node. We then edit the document one each node leaving it in two different states, B and C. We now have two key trees, A->B and A->C. When we go to replicate a second time, the key tree must combine these two trees which gives us A->(B|C). For the astute reader, this is how conflicts are introduced. In terms of the key tree, we say that we have two leaves (B and C) that are not deleted. Hence, conflict. To remove a conflict, one of the edits (B or C) can be deleted, which results in, A->(B|C->D) where D is an edit that is specially marked with a deleted=true flag. > Also, of note which will help us down the line, remember that there's another completely different possible mode of operation. Given two couchdb instances, we could *create* two different docs with the same id. Now we have two documents with edit histories E and F. Now after replication we have edit history (E|D) but really, this isn't a tree. Its two roots to two different trees. Our algorithms still work, we just have to consider multiple trees when we apply them. Remember this after this next aside. > Hopefully from that brief description of simple operations its fairly intuitive how we can end up with arbitrarily deep and branching trees due to distributed edits. Of note here is that this operation parallels the nature of Git's commit model. Each commit sha1 depends on the parent sha1 creating a sort of inverted merkle tree. > At this point I'll mention a quick point on the implementation of these trees. In Erlang, they are implemented as a list of nested tuples with the roots being the most shallow node. For instance, A->B->C could be represented as roughly, [{A, [{B, [{C}]}]}] which in english: "a single element list of a two element tuple, where the first element is the key, and the second element is a single element list of a two tuple....turtles." > The reason I make this note on implementation is that it should be apparent that the depth of this data structure is going to be linearly dependent on the edit history of a document. As we found out quickly, Erlang also apparently has some core C functions that are written recursively. As everyone knows about recursion in C, there is a point where one more turtle is one too many. Or, in other words, we run out of room on the stack to allocate more frames. > At this point we had a couple options. Patch Erlang (we did, it was rejected IIRC). Change our representation (could work, but would break some of the algorithmic assumptions, especially with how Erlang's SSA works). Or, add pruning to the revision history. This is what revision stemming is. > Revision stemming in a nutshell means "Keep only the last N edits". But then its a tree, so its actually, "keep the last N edits per leaf." The tradeoff here is that stemming may introduce a conflict by accident. For instance, Given A->B on one node, replicate to a second, edit it so that its A->B->C->D. Then applying stemming with an N of 2, we end up with A->B on node 1, and C->D on node 2. After replication, this turns into (A->B|C->D) ie, we weren't able to see that C was a descendant of B. This is generally considered an acceptable tradeoff. You just need to make sure you replicate more often than the N rev_stemming edits. > The second important note about rev_stemming is that it changes our storage of trees. The current implementation keeps track of how many edits have been discarded. Ie, in revisions you see in documents of the format "Number-Hash", that number is basically how deep that revision is in the path from root. We then leverage this information when merging stemmed trees so that we know how deep we need to look to start matching edits. > One final minor piece of implementation. Each key in the tree also carries a value. This can either be a document body about to be written, or perhaps the location in the file where that revision can be read. > The bug that was uncovered in COUCHDB-968 was that the start-of-tree position information was used in such a way that we ended up choosing the wrong value. Ie, we were choosing to re-write the same document instead of discarding it for the version that was already on disk. This ended up cascading through about 3 critical sections causing the end result of dupes in _changes and _all_docs after compaction. > The fix that Adam has put together was to first fix the decision making process by making a specific preference for which tree's value is used for identical revisions. Due to more than a few subtleties this has take a bit to get right with all the intervening key tree code. Hence, my desire to rewrite it. > The last thing I'll write up is an off the cuff approach that I thought of this morning. I don't necessarily think this is the only way to rewrite the key tree, but it seems easier (before coding). If anyone has ideas for other approaches that's just as well as the only goal here is to reduce the complexity factor. > The current code was originally designed around the concept of rooted trees of edits. Ie, Git. As we added features like stemming, the actual problem has shifted towards considering a larger set of possibly unrelated trees. If we add one constraint, it is possible for us to reconsider the algorithms in terms of more general graph approaches. That one extra constraint: > 1. keys (ie, revisions) must be unique within the set of trees (ie, single docid). > The general algorithm for merging N trees is something like: > 1. For each tree, create a list of parent/child edges. > 2. Find the union of all edges. > 3. Rebuild the tree. > There'd be more to work out of course. Depth would disappear, which would affect revision patterns visible to the client. Though BigCouch has changed revisions as well. I'm sure there are probably other things to work out. > So, that's all I've got right now. Its a bit of a twinkle in the eye, but I figured I'd get my thoughts on the current code down on paper so I don't have to re-think them in the future. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

A 20-year-old Syrian Islamic State jihadist shot his own mother in the head before a public audience on Thursday, after she had been accused of apostasy.
The execution, brutal even by Islamic State standards, took place in the Syrian city of Al-Raqqah, the de-facto capital of the Islamic State caliphate, before "hundreds of people," according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Syrian activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently said that jihadi Ali Saqr al-Qasem shot his 45-year-old mother Lena in the head with an assault rifle in front of a large crowd.

— Tim Ramadan (@tim_ramadan) January 7, 2016
Her son was the one who turned his mother in to Islamic State leaders and he carried out the execution near the post office where she worked.
The Islamic State often uses the charge of apostasy loosely to justify executing those who do not support or who criticize the organization.
News of the execution came on the heels of revelations that Islamic State spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani has been injured in an airstrike and is now in custody in neighboring Iraq.
A statement Thursday from Iraq's Joint Operations Command confirmed the news, adding that the airstrike took place in the Iraqi town of Barwanah, in Anbar province.
Adnani was reportedly taken to the city of Hit for treatment after "losing a large amount of blood," after which he was transported to Mosul under tight security.
Authorities had been chasing Adnani, possible heir to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as the caliph of the Islamic State, for more than a month.

Welcome Back!
As you drive back onto campus for the start of Spring Semester, remember
to slow down on East Fifth Street where there are newly installed speed
bumps. While you are driving a little slower, take a glance at the UTC
University Center, currently undergoing an extensive renovation.
"Before the holidays, the Student Development staff took a walk-through,
and it was exciting to see the commons area taking shape. There will be
more gathering places for students, something I am sure they will enjoy,"
according to Dr. Ellen Neufeldt, Assistant Vice Chancellor & Dean
of Student Life. Decisions about finishes, carpet and wallpaper are being
made as the process at the UC continues. Scheduled completion for the
renovation on the building is August, 2003 for the PHASED-IN renovation.
The UTC Engineering Building is 80% complete, according to Doug Silver,
Associate Director of Facility Planning and Management.
"The East Building is getting the finishing touches, which should
allow 99% completion by the end of February. The West Building is getting
sheet rock and brick around the outside windows," Silver said. The
entire project is scheduled for completion in May, 2003.
Other ongoing projects include the office re-design of Race and Hooper
Halls. Asbestos abatement is complete in Race, and construction has begun
so that offices can be reconfigured. Design has just begun for Hooper
Hall, according to Silver.
New roofs have recently been added to Hunter, Guerry, Cadek and Metro
buildings. A new roof has also been approved for Grote Hall.
We hope all those returning to campus had a restful break. All first-time
freshman in Fall, 2003 are reminded that February 1, 2003, is the priority
deadline for scholarships. Students must have their admissions application
file completed, including high school transcript, ACT/SAT scores, UTC
admissions application and $25 application fee. Visit our Scholarship
page for more information.
Best wishes for a successful academic new year!

Word of mouth has always been the most powerful source of marketing and promotion. With the rise of the internet and social media in the past 10 years, the "word of mouth" factor has changed its face.
It used to be passed on through person to person conversations, however, now due to our preference for social networking, the "word of mouth" factor has more scalability, and far more reach and influence than ever before.
User Generated Content (UGC) is now the most influential piece of the dynamic customer journey in making purchasing decisions. Traditional advertising has lost its effectiveness due to oversaturation and a lack of authenticity, creating a lack of trust in the consumer. Consumers now rely on the content of their peers (mostly through social networking) more than anything to help guide them along the dynamic customer journey and influence them in their purchasing decision. As a result, it's these shared experiences on social media platforms that become the new SEO (Shared Experiences Optimization) as they have more influence than any other source of media and advertising.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
Here are my nominations to the list of the all-time losers. Feel free to add your own thoughts and products too.
Let's start off with Microsoft, which is no doubt the most profitable software company on the planet. Yet even they have faltered over the years.
Notable for: The venom generated by such a simple product and also as one of the projects that Melinda (Mrs. Bill) Gates worked on.
Probably the most notorious is Bob, which was supposed to be a friendlier alternative to clicking on the program icons in the program manager in Windows 3.1. The trouble stemmed from the fact that Bob was too cartoonish and really didn't do much. Bob became the butt of many jokes and numerous parodies.
Notable for: One of the worse versions of any Microsoft operating system since DOS 4.
ME was perhaps called Mistake Edition but it did introduce the system restore feature, which was essential because most of the people that installed it soon uninstalled it due to compatibility problems with software, drivers, and hardware.
Notable for: Bringing Ray Ozzie to Microsoft, where Ozzie is now chief software architect.
Ray Ozzie, one of the developers behind Lotus Notes, started Groove. Microsoft acquired the company in 2005. The software creates collaborative workspaces that originally used its own client software. Much of its functionality has been incorporated into Sharepoint and Office Live services.
Notable for: Showing that once and for all, Microsoft never will be a router/networking vendor. Stick to keyboards and mice.
Even though Microsoft is predominantly a software vendor, they do try to sell the occasional piece of hardware, and this one was a total dog: a home wireless router akin to the thousands of products from Linksys, Netgear and numerous other vendors. At the time, Cisco had yet to purchase Linksys and wireless networks were just beginning to replace wired ones in the homes. Still, this wasn't a fit for the company and the router soon disappeared from sight.
There are so many products it is hard to even know where to start, but certainly 1984 wasn't a banner year for the company. Here are four products that stand out from that moment of time:
Notable for: The first integrated "Office" program well before Microsoft Office came to be.
Before Lotus Software was a part of IBM, they developed an integrated word processing/spreadsheet and database program called Symphony that was a total disaster. It ran in DOS, it was big and bloated (it came on a dozen floppy disks), and it lacked many of the features of stand-alone word processing and database programs of its era. Curiously, IBM has re-used the name for a currently shipping product that is based on the OpenOffice suite of software.
Notable for: The worst keyboard ever. But it was wireless before Bluetooth came into creation.
IBM tried to make a computer for the masses that had an unusable keyboard and was twice the price of products from the competition. Notice the dual cartridge game ports on the right side of the chassis they were the PC equivalent of the 8 track tape players and suffered a similar fate!

As details emerge about Gov. John Kasich's proposed state budget, it becomes increasingly clear that the governor seeks to resolve the state's fiscal problems by transferring many of them to local governments. That strategy would affect most directly the most vulnerable — and least powerful — Ohioans.
To close a projected $7.7 billion budget gap, Governor Kasich proposes cutting state funding to local governments by more than $500 million over two years. State aid to schools would fall by $1.3 billion over the same period.
Such deep cuts could force local governments to raise taxes and school districts to seek more local funding at a time when most taxpayers already feel stretched to the limit.
But even these cuts could have less effect on the health of local communities in Lucas County than the governor's proposed reductions to state service providers such as Children Services, the Department of Mental Health, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, and Medicaid.
A new report by the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation ranks Lucas County 72nd among Ohio's 88 counties in health outcomes. There was some good news: The county scored well in clinical care.
The percentage of its residents who lack health insurance, at 12 percent, is two points lower than the statewide average. Lucas County has one primary-care provider for every 627 residents, compared with one for every 859 across the state.
But county residents rank poorly in health behaviors such as sexually transmitted infections and teenage births. At the same time, the Lucas County Health Department says it needs a 5 percent increase in funding from member communities to do its job, which includes providing prenatal care to women without insurance.
The department says it needs the increase because next year, the state will reduce to 35 percent the amount the department can spend on salary and benefits in its grant programs. Current labor contracts commit the department to 41 percent, so the difference must be made up locally.
Against this backdrop, Mr. Kasich wants to divert more prison inmates to treatment and counseling programs — a worthwhile goal, but one local governments would have to pay for. He wants to cut funding for Children Services, the Department of Mental Health, and Adult Protective Services.
Job and Family Services, in addition to losing state funding, would lose $160 million in federal money that has gone to child care and help for needy families. Medicaid would be cut by $1.4 billion over two years, including $478 million in reduced payments to hospitals.
Proposals to slash these services feed on public perceptions that government programs have padded budgets, rampant waste, top-heavy administrations with inflated salaries, and workers with cushy wage-and-benefit deals. That is often not the case. Local service agencies have trimmed spending to the bone in recent years, even as they struggled to meet increased demand.
The need for such services won't go away just because the state reduces the share it is willing to pay. To the contrary, the need will grow as low-level criminals are referred locally, unemployment benefits run out, and families that depend on the services look elsewhere for food, health care, and help with mortgage, rent, and utility payments.
The burden of meeting these needs will fall on local governments and charitable organizations, including nonprofit hospitals. They will be forced to ask local residents for higher taxes, increased hospital fees, and more generous charitable giving.
The Ohioans who will endure Mr. Kasich's proposed cuts — elderly, poor, and mentally ill people, and children — are often faceless, voiceless, and politically impotent. The governor may feel he can ignore them, but local communities cannot.

Jones, the adorable kid from Two and a Half Men, might be out of a job soon. Speaking in a video "testimony" about his newfound Christian faith, Jones bashes the show that reportedly pays him approximately $350K per episode, saying, "I'm on Two and a Half Men, and I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it. Please stop filling your head with filth."Wow, it's sort of a right-wing Charlie Sheen moment, with Jones practically begging to be fired. He declares, "You can not be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that. I know I can't. I'm not OK with what I'm learning, what the Bible says, and being on that television show. You go all or nothing."Be forewarned, the video is long, rambling, and tedious. And this is just the second half. The video was produced by the Christian group Forerunner Chronicles, who could learn a thing or two about production from those sinners Hollywood.

I was recently researching ways to build responsive web pages for a non-profit that would be absolutely easy to use and nice to look at at the same time – without spending too much time in Photoshop that is. I think I found my weapon of choice.
AngularJS with a Bootstrap design, built with Yeoman. I've spend the last couple of evenings reading and watching videos. One I can definitely recommend is this video from Google I/O last year – especially if you've never heard of AngularJS. Since it can be hard to get used to new frameworks I definitely recommend this video on how to get started with Yeoman to build, test and deploy Angular apps. You can see Angular at work on my homepage over at ifrederik.com.
My goal is to build a backend based on Drupal (since I'll be using some existing plugins for event registrations etc.) and let the data model live there. AngularJS can then connect through the Drupal API to provide a user-friendly interface.
It's been some time since I've been this excited about web development again; I think the last time was when Ruby on Rails came out and I started to learn ruby. I've had my fair share of JavaScript in the past so I hope learning Angular is not going to be too difficult.

There's two different songs called "Magnet" on this record. "Magnet Part II", a choppy brain basher that is equal parts Devo and Messthetics comps as it is gnarled retard punk fills side one. With it's stabbings of herky jerky stop start tempos, bug stuck in your ear guitar buzz and the garbled electronic & electrical buzz that finishes the track I was almost expecting a lock grove at the end that would've drove me to irritation or insanity before I would get around to picking up the tone arm and putting it to an end but, alas, no avail (at least this time). Side two's "Magnet Part I" is a variation of the same riff with different words, more brittle and straight forward "punk rock" than the massive compressed echo of the other side. A bit shorter too but the weird noise trick at the end still makes an appearance. "Disintegrated" ends the record sounding something like Wire if they grew up in Mall arcade and had an 8 year old kid doing messed up guitar fills over top.

no disrespect to the wax museums - i think they have a distinctive sound and i enjoy sloppy, retarded punk as much as the next guy. however it's frustrating to see other bands bust their asses while the wax museums admittedly write all their songs in a matter of minutes and get all the attention.

[click for bigger image] Yep, that's me on Christmas morning with my Vic 20 personal computer. Specs:ROM 16Kb. RAM 5Kb (3.5Kb user memory) expandable to 32Kb. Screen: 22 columns by 23 rows. Screen dot matrix: 176 by 184 with up to 16 colours. Sound: 3 voices plus white noise. Media Tape drive (controlled by VIC), Disk Drive, Printer.
Yet I felt like I had all the power in the world at my fingertips. 16 colors! I played Clowns and Pac-Man to my heart's content until I discovered the world of adventure games.
Pirate's Cove. The Count. Adventureland. Voodoo Castle.
Hours, days, weeks passed where I would do nothing but go on adventures.
I learned to program BASIC and set to work making my own very simple adventure games, word processing programs and arcade games. None of them were very well done, but the thrill of being able to make programs myself was unbeatable.
Eventually, I stuck the Vic20 in the closet when it's sexier, sleeker update, the Commodore 64, came out.
And here I am, all these years later with a computer to die for and what do I do with it? I play text adventure games all day.
