Where is Healdsburg & Where is the Villa?
Nestled in a serene, vineyard setting, Cecilia's Vineyard Villa is located just minutes from Healdsburg's beautiful, historic downtown plaza. Founded in the mid 1800's, this outstanding vacation destination preserves its Victorian small town charm, while offering world class restaurants, art galleries, antique and specialty shops and spas. Healdsburg is the heart of Sonoma County Wine Country with over 60 world renowned wineries nearby which are open for wine tasting year round; dozens of tasting rooms are conveniently located in the downtown area.
Blessed with the moderate weather of our Mediterranean climate, Healdsburg is enjoyed year-round. Our warmer season usually begins in April and our 'Indian' summers linger into late October through the grape harvest, with daytime temperatures generally ranging from the 70's to the 90's. Even on the warmest summer days, evenings are refreshingly cool. Our 'winter' weather, from late fall through early spring, is mild with daytime temperatures in the 50's, 60's, and sometimes even in the 70's, with nighttime generally in the 40's.
The hub of activity of our town, just five minutes away, is our beautiful town square, lined by mature Redwoods, with walkways, lawns, a central fountain, benches, and a gazebo and stage for free summer concerts and morning tai chi. Antique shows, chili cook-offs and 'art on the square' are some of our other weekend events. The plaza area is also home to excellent restaurants, tasting rooms, art galleries, coffee houses, boutiques, book stores, apparel, home accessory and other specialty shops. Healdsburg's open air Farmers' Market offers local, fresh-picked organic fruits and veggies, baked goods, honey, fresh flowers and other hand-crafted delights, from Memorial Day weekend through November, on Tuesday afternoons and Saturday mornings.
There is much to do and a wide variety of activities to enjoy during your stay at Cecilia's Vineyard Villa. Wine tasting and fine dining in our outstanding restaurants attract many visitors, with over 60 wineries nearby and literally hundreds in Sonoma County. Private limo services and a seasonal wine 'trolley' are available as your 'designated' driver, although dozens of tasting rooms are on or within walking distance of the square. Tasting tours by bicycle are also available. Many more beautiful wineries are less than an hour's drive in surrounding Napa, Mendocino and Lake Counties. Healdsburg's Bear Republic Brewery and Pub produces awarding winning micro brews for your beer-drinking pleasure.
Recently featured in Wine Spectator, the June 07 issue, Healdsburg, although not yet as well known as Sonoma or Napa, is rapidly gaining recognition as a world class destination and is becoming the 'crown jewel' of Sonoma County Wine Country. For wine lovers, there are well over 100 outstanding wineries nearby and our historic, charming and upscale town is located at the confluence of 3 renowned wine growing regions, the Dry Creek, Alexander, and Russian River Valleys.
For those wishing to broaden their wine related adventures even more, the town of Sonoma is only 30 miles away and Napa 40 miles, and this journey makes a great day trip.
The Dry Creek Valley abounds with vineyards, award-winning wineries and tasting rooms and you will probably want to spend a day picnicking and 'drinking in' all this enchanting Wine Trail has to offer. Beginning just north of Healdsburg, follow Dry Creek Road west through this lovely valley with its many micro-climates, ideal for grape growing, and which ends at Lake Sonoma and its Recreation Area.
The variety and scenery of this 'adventure' is amazing and includes not only the beautiful vineyards and wineries, but also majestic Redwoods and Oaks at the base of the rolling coastal foothills. The spectacular and rugged Sonoma coastline is just 30 miles beyond Lake Sonoma where Skaggs Springs Road reaches Stewarts Point.
Some of the region's featured vineyards include: Amista, Bella, Dutcher Crossing, Ferrari Carrano, Lambert Bridge, Mauritson, Mounts Family, Preston, Quivira, Rued, Talty, and Zichini Family, with many more to choose from. The fertile Dry Creek Valley is ideal for grape growing, both red and white varietals, producing many great wines.
Brimming with beauty and breathtaking vistas, the Alexander Valley is home to more than 40 outstanding wineries, producing a diversity of distinctive wines. Take the Alexander Valley Road, just north of Healdsburg, and enter this spectacular wine growing region with an abundance of micro-climates supporting many premier wine grape varieties including Cabernet, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Zinfandel, Syrah and Viognier.
With over 13,000 acres of vineyards, the valley is 22 miles long and follows the winding Russian River as it flows along the valley floor with beautiful vineyards gracing the hillsides. The many renowned wineries of this region include Clos Du Bois, Geyser Peak, Hanna, Jordan, Murphy-Goode, Rodney Strong, Francis Ford Coppola Presents Rosso & Bianco, Seghesio Family, Trentadue, and a host of other very special wineries and tasting rooms.
This renowned wine road follows the beautiful Russian River through numerous wine growing regions including the Alexander, Dry Creek, and Russian River Valleys. About a 45 minute drive west on River Road to the river's end at the Sonoma coast, is a spectacular scenic route lined with redwoods, through the small towns of Forestville, Guerneville, and Duncan Mills.
The morning fog and cooler coastal weather along this most westerly part of this Wine Road, create an ideal climate for the world class Pinot Noir wines produced from the grapes in this part of the Russian River Valley Appellation. Follow this path and you will pass several of this region's wineries including Goldridge, Hartford Family, Joseph Swan, Korbel, Russian River, Woodenhead, and more.
Armstrong Woods, a wonderful Redwood preserve, is a bonus attraction just north of Guerneville and offers hiking and picnicking areas in its 'primordial' forest of giant Redwoods.
With the town of Sonoma only 30 miles from Healdsburg and Napa 40 miles, the Sonoma Valley vineyards and wineries, and the renowned Silverado Wine Trail of the Napa Valley, offer additional wine related adventures which also can be enjoyed from your 'home away from home' in Healdsburg, the 'heart' of Sonoma County Wine Country.
The Sonoma Valley includes an abundance of appellations and begins only 25 minutes from Healdsburg, and follows Highway 12 south/east from Santa Rosa through the many vineyards and wineries, the town of Kenwood, with Glen Ellen just to the west and then on to the historic town of Sonoma. A few of the many wineries of note along this beautiful drive include Arrowood, Blackstone, Chateau St. Jean, Charles Creek, and Los Carneros.
The Silverado Trail runs from Calistoga at the north end, to Napa in the south and is home to many more world class wineries with a colorful history, dating back to the Silver Mining Era of the 1870's. Black Bart and other highwaymen made their living holding up the stagecoaches carrying mining payrolls along this trail, which is now home to more than 40 outstanding wineries including Copia, Mumm, Napa Valley, Rutherford, Silverado, Stags Leap, and Sterling, to name but a few.
The Napa Wine Train offers fine dining and another unique way of enjoying a trip through the vineyards 'on the rails'.
Take River Road west, as it follows the winding Russian River through the Redwoods, and ends at the mouth of the Russian River, where it empties into the Pacific Ocean. Once there, you can travel north on Highway 1 along the rugged and beautiful Sonoma County Coast to Jenner and then on to Fort Ross Historic State Park.
Fort Ross was established by the Russian-American Company in 1812, for hunting and fur trading. This eastern-most outpost of Tsarist Russia, is now a State Park whose restored buildings included a Stockade, the Commandant's House, and a Russian Orthodox Chapel. Still further north, you will travel through Sea Ranch and the historic, coastal towns of Mendocino and Fort Bragg.
Travel south and enjoy the Sonoma Coast State Beach, a 17 mile string of public beaches, considered one of the most scenic stretches of coastline in the state. Beach goers on the Sonoma Coast should come prepared with warm clothing as these beaches can be foggy and/or windy, especially in the mornings.
The fishing port of Bodega Bay is just a little further south, with bayside restaurants featuring excellent seafood. Diners can watch fishing boats coming and going in the harbor. Ocean fishing trips are available year round and leave from Porto Bodega Marina.
With something for everyone, Healdsburg and the surrounding area abound with interesting and fun activities. The Russian River provides for bird-watching, fishing, seasonal canoeing and swimming. The recreational summer dam is in place generally from mid June through mid September, slowing the river current and raising water levels approximately 4 feet, creating an idyllic 'lake-like' environment. Just upstream from the dam, is Memorial Beach recreation area, where canoes and paddleboats can be rented by the hour. Half day and full day canoe trips are available and end near Memorial Beach. Experiencing the views and bird life when on the water provides a unique and intimate connection with nature.
The Russian River is open for fishing year round with fall and winter runs of steelhead and salmon and a summer run of shad. Bass, trout and squaw fish are also caught in the summer months. One day or year long California fishing licenses are available in town. Recreational fishing is also enjoyed nearby in Lake Sonoma, Clearlake and Spring Lake; ocean fishing is about a 60 minute drive away, leaving from Bodega Bay, Fort Bragg or the San Francisco Bay area.
At the end of the Dry Creek Valley, Lake Sonoma is nestled in the beautiful, coastal foothills and was created by the Warm Springs Dam in the early 1980's. Lake Sonoma is the largest lake in Sonoma County and provides flood control, water for agriculture, and lots of recreational activities, including water sports, fishing, and hiking.
The Lake Sonoma Marina offers a boat ramp, full service marina, rental and a store. Available rentals include patio boats, ski boats, wakeboard boats, fishing boats, canoes, and kayaks. The Milt Brand Visitors Center is located at the park entrance, providing information, with interesting exhibits on the Pomo Indians and the cultural and natural history of the Dry Creek Valley.The Congressman Don Clausen Fish Hatchery is run by the Department of Fish and Game and offers group tours during the salmon and steelhead spawning season, from January through April.
Bike rentals are available for around town adventures as well as guided rides through the wine country. Many hiking trails in the nearby Redwoods or along the coastline provide opportunities for more 'breath-taking' experiences. Healdsburg's Tayman Park is a small public 9 hole, par 35 golf course and driving range; Windsor's Rooster Run (only 10 minutes away) is an almost 7000 yard, par 72 champion golf course and also available to the public. For a unique golfing experience in the Redwoods, Northwood Golf Club in Monte Rio (about ½ hour away) is a public 9 hole par 36 course. More excellent courses are available within a short drive.
Drive 1 hour north to Willits and board the Skunk Train for an incredible trip winding along a beautiful river, through the Redwoods and fern covered terrain, towards the ocean to Fort Bragg on the coast. Full or half day trips are truly an exceptional experience, especially in the 'open-air' cars! The Napa Wine Train (1 hour southeast) offers a fine wine and dining experience as your luxury rail car travels through Napa County wine country. Balloon rides offer a unique 'bird's-eye' perspective of our lovely landscape and vineyards. A 400 acre Wildlife Preserve, Safari West offers guided open-air jeep tours daily, by reservation. Home to over 400 mammals and birds, this lush oasis, less than 30 minutes away, offers an intimate exposure to exotic wildlife. There are too many more adventures to detail here, but we are happy to explore your interests and provide advice and help with reservations.
Sonoma County is also very rich in culture and the arts. Local wineries offer many summer music festivals, and food and wine tastings. Jazz is offered in the lounge at the Hotel Healdsburg and at several other local venues. Wells Fargo and Spreckles Centers for the Performing Arts are both less than 20 minutes away and attract music, theater and comedy events. Several community theater groups offer local productions and the Raven Theater in town, also hosts weekend events.

"And to the tiger in the zoo, Madeline just said, "pooh, pooh!"—Ludwig Bemelman
I heard a report on NPR this morning that Madeline, Ludwig Bemelman's plucky heroine that lives "in an old house in Paris, covered in vines" was turning 75 next year. I read all the Madeline books to my daughter when she was young. We both loved them.
Being reminded of Madeline's courageous "pooh, pooh!" to the tiger in the zoo made me smile because that's exactly what I decided to say to those old belief systems that were so insistently waving their hands in the back of the classroom yesterday.
And the reason I'm once again naming myself, "world's luckiest person" is because when I mentioned them here on the blog, I was showered with so much love and support from so many people. And I just want to say thank you!
I am truly blessed, touched, humbled and forever grateful.
I wish each and every one of you the most amazing weekend of your life.

If you are a young adult, recently graduated from high school or college, you are probably excited to jump into adult life and all the possibilities it presents. Are you also ready to handle the expenses? Get a hold on your finances now and you will hasten your independence from your parents. The first step to financial independence: Make a budget.
We know… Most people don't want to hear the "B Word." "Budget" is often synonymous with "settling for less." If you haven't had a budget before, it feels a lot like stepping on the scale on January 1st. But working within a budget is the difference between controlling your money and your money controlling you. Which do you want?
Get Ready to Take Notes
Start by simply tracking all your income and expenses for a month before you even set up your budget. Whether you use pen and paper, or a spreadsheet, or a budget app, remember to include every detail. It is a very eye-opening experience as you are forced to recognize your spending and saving habits. Analyzing this data at the end of the month will help you develop a strategy to move forward.
Track Your Income
Tracking your income is pretty straight-forward. Any money coming in from any source, like your paycheck, payment for odd jobs, financial aid overages, or any kind of assistance from your parents, is included in this category.
Track Your Expenses
Tracking your expenses is where the real choices are made and can be fun if you have a positive mindset! This is where you will really meet your goals. Develop categories for your expenses, such as housing, food, entertainment, savings, loan repayment, and auto expenses. Are you surprised at how much you spent on food? Would you like to spend more to pay down your debt or increase your savings? Are some of the categories fixed each month, or are they flexible and subject to change?
Make a Plan
Now that you've seen your actual numbers for a month, draw up what you would LIKE to see happen each month. If you would like, say, to save $1000 by Christmas, divide that total into how many months are left to reach your goal, and shoot for budgeting that much each month. If this seems like an unreasonable goal, settle for a smaller total figure, or see if other categories could spare a few dollars. Then STICK to your plan!
Some tips:
Use a platform that works for you. Some people like to scratch out the numbers on paper, some prefer an app on their phone. YNAB (You Need a Budget) offers an app that is easy to use. Dave Ramsey, well-known financial planner, recommends an envelope system in which each budget category has an envelope of cash that you use and when the money's out, you're done for the month in that category. Find one that works and STICK TO IT.
Build an emergency fund. Some experts recommend three to six months living expenses as a buffer, but this amount can often seem unreachable if you are just starting out with a budget. $1000 is a good place to start because it can cover many emergencies, such as a car repair or ER bill. Always replenish the emergency fund after you dip into it. And aim for a much higher balance, up to six months living expenses, over time.
Avoid credit card debt. We know that it can be tricky to build credit as a new adult, so having a credit card is a good idea for this purpose. But be disciplined. Use your credit card like it's your debit card and pay any purchases off immediately. If you carry a balance each month on your card and only pay the minimum payment, you will be paying high interest for years. If you've already got a big credit card balance, you can recover. Stop using your card. If you are tempted often, keep your card at home when you are shopping. Then pay as much as you can OVER the minimum payment amount until your debt is paid.
Like most life lessons, budgeting can seem painful at first. But the payoff is financial independence and control. You can do it! To get started, try downloading this simple budget spreadsheet on your phone or computer. Just plug in your own categories and numbers, and put it to work!

Fortnite's Zero Point event may have concluded in the game, but it's just getting started in comic books. The six-issue Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point series by DC Comics will deliver "big reveals" for the battle royale's lore, and readers of the print edition will also receive codes for in-game items, such as new outfits for Batman and Harley Quinn.
The first issue is out today, with the next installments hitting twice a month (issue two arrives on May 4). I had a chance to read through the first issue, and thought it was quite clever, playing up both Batman's detective skills in interesting ways as well as holding true to how Fortnite operates as a video game. One of the biggest callouts to the game is that none of the characters speak once they are on Fortnite's island. Instead the reader hears what Batman is thinking, but never once will you see him even attempt to communicate verbally with another character.
The story begins with Batman getting sucked into a portal that relocates him from Gotham to the island. Not only is he taken aback by his new surroundings, he can't remember anything – his memory has been wiped clean. His intelligence, fighting prowess, and general line of thinking are the same, but everything else is blurry. He doesn't even know who Catwoman is when he meets her, yet he thinks she looks familiar.
Holding true to the game, every 22 minutes that follow, when the storm fully constricts on the island, Batman goes back to square one, forced to battle again and try to figure out as much of this island's mysteries as he can before the next reset. Much like the movie Momento, he realizes he can leave himself clues on inanimate objects to help piece together what is going on. You can see some of this in the trailer below:
The Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point story comes from the minds of famed comic writer Christos Gage and the equally revered artist Reilly Brown. I had the opportunity to speak to both of them last week, and while they both said they never played Fortnite before taking on this job, they were brought up to speed on the game universe's lore by Epic Games' chief creative officer Donald Mustard, who also illustrated a variant cover. The standard edition covers are created by Mikel Janín.
Mustard didn't just give this creative team the general premise to work from; he wants this comic's story to reveal new parts of Fortnite's lore. Gage says that even though Batman is our viewpoint into this Fortnite story, we will also see it from another perspective in a future issue.
"In issue three – the Snake Eyes crossover issue – I tried something experimental. Since we're in a story where no one can talk, and since I've done plenty of Batman thought captions, I thought, 'Let me tell this issue from the point of view of someone who works for the people who control Fortnite island.' This is an unnamed person who is responding to what is going on and is saying, 'Okay, Batman is figuring things out a little quicker than we would like, so we need someone more formidable to distract him. Bring me a great warrior.' He's basically sending an inner office memo to acquisitions. Snake Eyes then shows up. It was a fun challenge to say, 'How do we give a little insight into what it's like to be a shadowy group that controls Fortnite island without actually revealing anything we're not suppose to reveal.'"
Getting a look behind Fortnite island's operations is interesting in its own right, but there's supposedly much more to learn. Gage says that Fortnite fans should read issues four, five, and six for the "big reveals." What could these be? Gage and Brown wouldn't say, but kept saying they will likely be meaningful for players.
A big part of the first issue's appeal is seeing the island come to life in panels. Brown has a keen eye for the locations that players will immediately recognize, and he also doesn't shy away from jamming as many Fortnite characters as he can into any given fray. You'll see a good number of familiar faces battling aside or against Batman.
"I've been thinking about where these characters come from, what their world is like," Gage adds. "In your head you have to put yourself in their place. Is Peely from a world of sentient bananas? Are they all bananas or are they all kinds of fruits with personalities and arms and legs? Or is he some kind of mutant or construct? I do this with every character. They are amazingly designed and there's so much story potential with all of them."
A walking banana is obviously strange, but Brown says that character fits right in with the world of superheroes. "If you look at characters from our universe, like Batman and Catwoman, they don't look any less crazy than Fortnite's characters in costumes," he says. "Is Cuddle Team Leader the Batman of her universe? Or is she just there to promote the pink bear frozen yogurt? I don't know. [laughs] I'd love to see more from all of their backstories."
Both Gage and Brown would love to revisit Fortnite for more comic books after this Zero Point series concludes. Nothing against Batman, but Fortnite deserves its own independent run that gives us deeper insights into its fascinating universe. The games do a great job of building up mysteries and an even better job concluding them in shocking ways, but the story has been tough to track and the characters don't get nearly enough development. An ongoing comic series would be a great way to deliver that info.

Although she's 90, and she has some life threatening diagnosis, she decided to stop going to hospitals and see the beauty of the world with her dog instead. Norma is still full of life even after her husband passed away and she knew about her diagnosis.
And that's what happened!
She did not surrender to any negativity and decided to travel with her son, daughter in low and her dog Ringo, and she stated " I'm having the time of my life! I'm done with doctors."
Everyone is surprised with her life loving and energetic soul, even her doctors, and The Facebook page, Driving Miss Norma, narrates some conversations between them.
We explained to the well-meaning doctor and his student that we live in an RV and that we will be taking her wherever she wants to go. He didn't hesitate to say, "RIGHT ON!" We asked if he thought us irresponsible for this approach. His reply was telling.
"As doctors," he said, "we see what treatment looks like everyday. ICU, nursing homes, awful side effects and honestly. There is no guarantee she will survive the initial surgery to remove the mass. You are doing exactly what I would want to do in this situation. Have a fantastic trip!"
So, now Norma is having the time of her life with Ringo. She travelled thousands of miles with no intentions to stop soon.
"We have no idea where or when it will end. We are living in the present moment," Ramie said.

How To Avoid Overeating At Work
Trying to lose weight is challenging for anyone, but for the 9-to-5 office worker, it can be even more difficult. Why? For one thing, you aren't at home and you don't have access to your kitchen, cooking supplies, and healthy foods. The office break room probably is only equipped with a microwave, and you have a limited amount of time to prepare your food and eat it. This causes a lot of employees to fall for temptations like going out to eat (which not only packs on the pounds but drains the wallet), unhealthy microwavable prepackaged foods, and endless snacking.
It doesn't help either that you probably get tired sitting around at work all day, and you need the energy. At the same time, you aren't able to walk around and enjoy an active lifestyle, so the importance of dieting is even more imperative. What can you do to stop yourself from overeating at work, while still getting the nutrition and calories you need?
Bring healthy snacks to work.
Avoid chips and cookies. Bring along some fresh fruit and vegetables. Carrots, apples, strawberries, and other healthy fruits and veggies give you nutrition without all the calories or unhealthy additives. Dried fruit, nuts and seeds make excellent options as well. Snacks are great because you don't need to step away from your desk to eat them. They keep you going throughout the day, and they prevent you from overeating—as long as you are eating healthy snacks to begin with.
Avoid the free food table.
Some offices have tables where free foods tend to accumulate, often donuts, muffins, and the like. If you don't go near the table, you won't see what's on it, and that will help you steer clear of temptation.
Bring lunch to work, put it in the fridge, and microwave it when you need to eat it.
Prepare it in advance. A great way to do this is to make more than you need to eat for dinner the night before. Simply put your leftovers in your lunchbox and eat them at work the next day. That helps you stick to your healthy diet, saves you time, and also will probably save you money.
Eat your breakfast.
Skipping breakfast is a really bad idea for dieting. You may think, "Less food = fewer calories = weight loss," but in reality, you slow down your metabolism. Not only that, but you'll be starving in the middle of the day, and you will be more likely to overeat lunch.
Be wary of professional lunches.
You cannot avoid going out to lunch at work sometimes, but you do not have to order a large or unhealthy meal. Stick with an appetizer or a salad or some other lighter option. Do not use the forced lunch meeting as an excuse to throw discipline out the window.
Following a diet in the modern corporate world is challenging, but it is far from impossible.
By following the suggestions above, not only will you make it less likely that you will overeat, but you will also likely start saving time and money. The less stress you have, the less binge-eating you'll partake in, which is just one more way that you can stick with your diet and lose weight!

Auburn's speed is a fraud. There it is, I said it. Do you have a problem with it? If so, I implore you to explain to me, with facts not opinion, why Auburn has an advantage over teams like ASU, USC or Arizona because of their "speed".
I can already tell you, you won't come up with much.
via www.pe.com
The national media has bolstered the perception of Auburn's offensive speed to a point of ridiculousness. The idea is; the greater the lie, the more believable it is. ESPN pushes this idea that Auburn is better prepared to face Oregon's offense than any other team because of their offensive tempo. ESPN will tell you that Auburn runs an upbeat offense that averages a snap about every 24 seconds. ESPN will tell you that this pace will prepare them to face an Oregon offense that snaps the ball every 21 seconds. I will tell you that it wont and, I'll tell you why.
ESPN likes to throw out a number like 24seconds/play and point at it, lift it up on a pedestal and tell us all to worship it for all of it's grandeur. At least that's the picture they paint. What they don't like to do is show you were that pedestal sits in relations to everyone else in the nation. ESPN says worship, and the nation obeys, like taking candy from a baby ESPN sensationalizes a single stat and ignores all others because after all, if they let you see the whole tapestry then your focus might drift away from their blot of ink. Their product gets watered down and simply becomes part of a wonderful mosaic created by many different hands. Their detail stroke gets lost when you're not looking right at it so they demand you, LOOK!
The consequence we suffer is that we only see one strap of the football lace and miss out on the rest of the picture.
ESPN will say, "after all, what is a measly 3 second difference worth anyway?".
Go for it, count to 3 out loud, I'll wait. You counted to three pretty fast! It's really not that much at all. I hear your cry, "Come on, You said their speed was a fraud! How can you say that Auburn's speed is a fraud then so clearly demonstrate that they are remarkably close to Oregon's speed?" I hear you questioning, "does this mean that Oregon's speed is a fraud?" No, not even close.
via tigersx.com
Here's the stats that ESPN doesn't want you to know. Oregon played two teams this year that run their offense just as fast as Auburn. Can you name them? Here's a hint, one is sanctioned and the other is run by a certain hopping brother. Here's another, both teams played Oregon coming off a BYE.
USC this year ran a play every 24.6 seconds. Arizona ran a play every 24.9 seconds. Auburn remember, ran a play every 24.2 seconds If you thought 3 seconds wasn't much of a difference how about 0.4 seconds. You can start to say, "One" in 0.4 seconds.
By a show of hands, how many people believed that Arizona and USC had an advantage because of their pace compared to other teams Oregon played. We knew going into those games that both teams boasted good offenses that put up a lot of really good looking numbers. People said that coming off a BYE week the teams had an advantage to prepare for the ducks speed. I never heard so much as a peep from the talking heads about the offensive tempo that USC or Arizona ran, even though it rivals the speed of Auburn.
via a.abcnews.com
If you want to look at a team that should have been prepared to play The Ducks, stay right where you are, or where you wish you were, in Arizona. Would you call ASU's offense an up tempo offense? I would. In fact ASU's tempo rivals that of Oregon's. In a futile, but very scary, attempt to beat Oregon at it's own game, ASU ran a play every 21 seconds for 4 quarters of football. Oregon was only able to snap the ball every 22 seconds and for much of the game the offense was remarkably below average in efficiency. 11 drives ended in 3 plays or less, ATQ was chanting "Rob Beard for MVP", and ASU ran 99 plays to Oregon's 69.
If you can believe it ASU ran 99 plays on our defense and at the end of the game, did our team look beat? Did they give up and mail it in ala USC in the 4th quarter? I'll tell you what I saw, I saw a defense that flew to the ball, DB's that jumped passing lanes and a line that got constant pressure on a QB right to the end.
This season ASU averaged a snap every 22.5 seconds. So they should have been ready to face the tempo right?
Oregon has played in pressure packed games, the defense has been stretched but I would argue they haven't even been close to their limit yet. You see, Oregon has been tested by tempo offenses, ASU ran nearly a hundred plays, USC ran 85 plays, one every 23 seconds. Arizona ran 81 plays, one every 22 seconds. Oregon doesn't have to prepare for speed, Auburn still does.
via media.al.com
So what kind of pressure has Auburn seen this year? How about the University of Kentucky Wildcats. The wildcats play at a frightening pace of 26 seconds/snap and put up a dizzying 33 points/game. Oh shoot, I think I forgot the sarchasum font there.
Here's a bit that's sarcasm free though. KU, a 6-6 team was tied with Auburn till the end of the game when Auburn kicked a winning FG as time expired to win. In that game Auburn ran a play every 25 seconds, wich was just under their average.
Wait a minute!
Koudos to those of you who caught it, there in that last sentence. 25 seconds is not less than 24 seconds/play.
It's not a mistake though. I decided that we deserved some more concrete stats, rather than the numbers ESPN wants to feed us. So I broke down the games and then I threw a few out. I didn't care what Auburn did to Louisiana Monroe, Chattanooga or Arkansas State. Similarly I didn't care what Oregon did to Portland State or UNM, so I threw them right out the window with the day's trash.
What I saw was rather surprising. All the stats from now on are only stats that were accumulated against AQ conference teams, mainly the SEC and Pac-10.
A post this long would not be welcome without some pictures of Oregon Cheerleaders, would it? Nah.
Against AQ teams Auburn's offense slowed down considerably. Auburn only snapped the ball once every 27 seconds, a difference of 3 seconds/snap. The difference between Oregon's pace after dropping the stats from PSU and UNM, 0.54 seconds. Oregon's average dropped from 21.16 seconds/snap to 21.70 seconds/snap. The difference in real time is indistinguishable.
Suddenly 3 seconds morphs into 6 seconds, and Auburn surprisingly looks a lot more like Kentucky (26 seconds/snap) than Oregon. But this is what ESPN doesn't want you to know.
Before you go make that rage post and tell me that, "Auburn runs their Offense slower in the second half to protect their lead and run out the clock!", I'll make my counter argument. Oregon does the same thing.
Now I could leave it there and be ESPN lite. I could ostentatiously throw that, "Fact" out there and tell you to devour it without question. However, I am not ESPN, I do not have a agenda or an image to protect. I am Anonymous, I have nothing to lose.
I always hear the offense is slowing down in the second half, or that the offense is fastest in the 3rd quarter when our team really wants to push the lead. So I want to take a look at the validity of those statements. As one would suspect, both offenses do slow down in the second half of games, by how much is startling. At least when you look at Oregon.
Auburn ran a play every 25 seconds in the first half of their games against AQ opponents. In the second half they slowed down to an easy 28.5 seconds/play. When Auburn wanted to run the clock a little more they did just that, ran it a LITTLE more, 3 seconds/play slower.
Oregon on the other hand surprised me. In the first half Oregon runs a play every 18 seconds. In the second half they slow down 7 seconds/play to 25 seconds per snap. When Oregon is running their offense at what The Ducks consider a slow pace, it's still as fast as Auburn generally runs in the first half.
I still feel like we should dig deeper into this myth, and as I do I find a glimmer of hope for Auburn. When Auburn played OLE MISS, in the second quarter of that game, Auburn ran a play every 17.9 seconds. Suddenly, Auburn actually does have the ability to run with Oregon's offense. ESPN isn't so evil after all, you read all of this only to find out that none of it was true!
Hold up for a minute there, don't get ahead of yourself. The third and fourth quarter of that game were the two slowest quarters Auburn had all year, snapping the ball every 33 and 37 seconds. For the game they averaged a play every 28 seconds.
If we glance around the stats a little more we see that against Arkansas, Auburn ran a play every 18.1 seconds in the second quarter and against Bama there was a play every 19.9 seconds. Beyond that, Auburn didn't post another quarter all year in which they snapped the ball in under 20 seconds for a full quarter.
via socialmedialawstudent.com
Oregon can't be all that much more impressive can it?
By Oregon's definition of taking it slow, The Ducks second half pace of 25 seconds/snap matched the first half pace or Auburn. To draw a parallel we realize that Auburn's "Fast" is Oregon's "Slow".
That's grand and all but we're still looking at the all encompassing 'average'. In this case lets talk specifics. Oregon's fastest quarter came when The Ducks were playing Stanford. In the second quarter of that game Oregon ran a play at the leisurely pace of a snap every 13.65 seconds, for an entire quarter. In that quarter Oregon ran 23 plays which was more than the season average for number of plays run in the 2nd quarter.
Let's talk about 20 again. Earlier we found a stat that ESPN would rather we didn't know. Auburn has only snapped the ball at "Oregon Speed" in three quarters this season. Oregon Speed is defined as a snap every 20 seconds or less for a full quarter. Why is it called Oregon Speed? Because Oregon has done it 17 times this year. Six other times Oregon's pace was less than a second more per play than 20 seconds/play, and because I said so.
via t1.gstatic.com
Now that we're digging we're finding out what REAL speed is. Real speed is when an offense is snapping a ball every 15 seconds or faster, and Oregon likes to find 'Real Speed' just about as often as Auburn likes to find 'Oregon Speed'. Oregon's run a play every 15 seconds or less in 5 quarters this year twice in one game. Oregon's offense operates at a speed that Auburn can't even sniff at.
Oregon's so fast in fact that they're in their own league, even ESPN admits this. However for some reason ESPN want's to pump up Auburn's speed and make things seem closer than they really are. They do this for ratings, if they said the game would be a blowout fewer people would watch. It irks me though that we, the educated public, the people with knowledge of our team are so slighted by lies of omission. After all, if you don't use all the data available to you it's not actually a lie, is it?
via coedmagazine.files.wordpress.com
Your attention down here please. Can we continue or would you like another moment with the picture above? It's ok, I understand.
Auburn's so called 'speed' really is a fraud. I'm not going to sit Idly by and eat the meatloaf of lies coming out of ESPN's Kitchen anymore. Instead I excrete that shite and put myself through a cleanse of sorts to get their taint out of my system. I still feel though that there might be something missing from this formula. Something else to all these stats is floating out there and I think I know exactly what I'm looking for.
What's the use of doing something incredibly fast if you're incredibly bad at what you're doing. I bet I could get 11 random people from this blog together and we could go out after a week or two and run an offense like Oregon at the same pace of Oregon at least for a few minutes. I'd also be willing to bet that we wouldn't gain more than a yard or two against the lowest rated defense in College football.
Just because you can do something really fast doesn't mean you're any good at it. Oregon is really fast, and really good when their fast. Auburn... well, not so much.
I measured Efficiency by taking the number of plays and dividing it by the number of points the team scores. I did it by quarter and found that when Oregon runs it's offense at it's fastest, The Ducks scores in the fewest number of plays. Over all Oregon scored 408 offensive points this year against AQ teams in 783 plays. That's about a 0.521 efficiency rating by my formula. In the second quarter, when Oregon is averaging it's fastest, that efficiency rating jumps to .582. A difference of .05 doesn't seem like much but I'm going to ask you to let me use the ESPN model here for a second and just accept that it's significant.
via i.cdn.turner.com
You think these girls are all smiling at you. You think they're all happy and jovial because they can be. Really they're laughing at you. They're mocking you and it's all because you bought it. You let me do it and you didn't even question it for more than a second.
Don't ever let me shove a stat down your thought like ESPN and just take it. Question it, push it, research it yourself and find the hidden meanings.
0.5 is actually a very small number. Almost insignificant but what it does say is that Oregon is better when they are moving the ball the fastest than they are on the average. How much is it really? Well it's about the difference in Auburn's game when Auburn runs their offense the fastest. Well, kinda anyway.
Auburn also runs their offense the fastest in the second quarter. Over all Auburn's average efficiency is a 0.506. Less than Oregon's 0.521 but relatively similar. That's where the similarities end though, unfortunately for Auburn the faster they run their offense the less they score. When Auburn's running their offense the fastest their efficiency drops to a below average .455 or a drop of .05. Same change as Oregon but in the wrong direction.
So, even when Auburn is running at 'Oregon Speed' they're just making more mistakes faster.
"We're going to prepare for Oregon's speed by using our own speed!"
That's a noble thought but how do you prepare for a faster team when you start making mistakes when you move faster.
This is what I find most incredible about Oregon's offense and the mind of Chip Kelly. Chipper has been in Eugene since being hired in 2007 as the OC. That year he started to change the culture of Oregon's practice where he could, when he was given the reigns in 2009 the culture shifted dramatically. Practice was in the morning, while players were fresh, ready to learn. Practice became conditioning and in turn was shortened but intensified. The speed of practice translated to the speed of the game on Saturdays. A year later in 2010 the system was again refined and the players in the system had another year of experience in the Chip Kelly system. Chip since 2007 has been "watering the bamboo".
With all of that Oregon does not suffer when they push the tempo. The Ducks don't make more mistakes or break down. Every player on the field knows exactly what to do every play and they know FAST.
It's taken three years for Oregon to reach the pace that they're at now. Three years to become as efficient and deadly as they are now Auburn has 30 days to do the same, how fast does bamboo grow in 30 days?
Auburn has more time to break down Oregon's offense, but Oregon has the same time to find the flaws in Auburn's armor. Advantage, no one.
I'll leave you with this. Don't believe everything you hear from ESPN. Hell, don't believe everything that's in this post, question it, research it and find the hidden meanings. I'm a Duck fan through and through and I'll never disguise that fact. ESPN will tell you what they want you to hear. Right now they'll feed you this mud pie and tell you it's a delicacy so you'd better eat it without question. It's just a nation wide scam to keep your attention on them. To feed them your attention and money. They do it because they can and they'll continue to do it long after this post dies in the annyonimity of the internet. That doesn't mean you have to take it.
Auburn's so called speed is an ESPN fraud. If you don't think so prove me wrong.

Practical Assignment
In software engineering, Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams are a meaningful medium to draft and document system design. For already delivered systems such diagrams can be found in architecture descriptions, mostly embedded in other documents as bitmaps. Such embedding in bitmap files (JPG, PNG, BMP) makes them difficult to access for research, analysis and reuse by third parties. Your task is to develop an application capable of recognizing UML class diagrams in bitmap images and extracting them into XMI files. For the detailed information about XMI format, refer to the OMG XMI specification [].
The following documentation artifacts have to be delivered in course of the project:
- Software Development Plan []. The Software Development Plan is a comprehensive, composite artifact that gathers all information required to manage the project. It encloses a number of artifacts developed during the inception phase and is maintained throughout the project.
- Software Requirements Specification []. The requirements specification document provides an outline of the envisioned core requirements and the contractual basis for the more detailed technical requirements.
- Configuration Management Plan []. The Configuration Management (CM) Plan describes all Configuration and Change Control Management (CCM) activities you will perform during the course of the product or project lifecycle. It details the schedule of activities, the assigned responsibilities, and the required resources, including staff, tools, and computer facilities.
- Software Architecture Document []. The Software Architecture Document provides a comprehensive architectural overview of the system from different architectural viewpoints.
- Design models (NO TEMPLATE). The design model is an object model describing the realization of use cases, and serves as an abstraction of the implementation model and its source code. The design model is used as essential input to activities in implementation and test. Use a UML design tool and deliver your design sufficiently documented in a PDF file. The document to be delivered should at least include a class diagram, a sequence diagram, an activity diagram and a state chart diagram.
Using Google Source Code Repository
The progress of each group will be tracked through an online repository just like in a normal software company. To use the repository you need to have a Google account.
Send us your Gmail address and we will grant you access to the Image-to-UML project SVN repository at the Google Source Code. After that follow the instructions available at the Source tab of the SVN repository
to access the project using your SVN client.

3-Year Local Singapore Warranty.
Based on 30 years of amplifier-building expertise, Huei offers MM/MC compatibility and integrates turntables to our amplifiers.
Entirely conceived, engineered and manufactured in Great Britain, Huei has been carefully designed to provide turntables with the same high standards of amplification that Chord Electronics has become known for over the past 30 years.
Benefitting from both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil functionality, Huei offers compatibility with a huge range of cartridges thanks to comprehensive gain and impedance-matching options; Huei's high- and low-gain switching settings are easily accessible via front-panel controls, introducing welcome flexibility.
Huei's advanced design offers (for the first time in a Chord Electronics phono preamp) ultra-low-noise microprocessor control of its main features, including a convenient memory function. With multiple options for impedance-matching, seven-stage switchable gain and a switchable rumble filter, Huei's design offers comprehensive compatibility.
Precision-machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminium billet, Huei has a similar form factor to the company's Qutest DAC and also offers a top-mounted viewing window into the illuminated electronics within. The design also shares the same polychromatic control spheres the company has become known for in its digital products. The illuminated front-panel spheres offer direct access to Huei's gain and impedance settings, selection for MM/MC cartridges and access to the on-board rumble filter.
Huei is a stylish, practical and high-performance solution for integrating turntables into Chord Electronics (and other) systems and features both unbalanced (RCA) and balanced outputs (XLR) with RCA inputs. A high-quality 12V external power supply is also supplied.

Super Eagles midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo believes today's match against Libya at the Stade Taieb Mhiri in Sfax Tunisia will be a tough one but he is counting on his team mates to pull through in the end with the maximum three points in the bag.
The Stoke City of England midfield enforcer played all 90 minutes in the first leg in Uyo where he impressed alongside Leicester City defensive midfielder Wilfred Ndidi in the absence of veteran Ogenyi Onazi due to an Achilles injury he picked up in training.
Although the Eagles won comfortably in the first leg of the AFCON qualifier double header, Etebo Insists that "This game is going to be very crucial because we won in Uyo but that does not mean we should go and relax. We won 4 nil so they will want to revenge. We need to up our game and work harder. We need to keep our shape. If it is to defend we'll do that. We are mentally and physically ready for the game and we hope we can get all three points.
It is expected that technical adviser of the team Gernot Rohr will continue with the same formation he played in Uyo with Torino defender Ola Aina replacing the injured Shehu Abdullahi in the right back position.

As Joe Biden and House and Senate Democrats gear up for what is likely to be a very brutal midterm election for their party later this year, members of the so-called "Squad" are continuing to make it clear that they are not done giving him nightmares in advance of a possible historic election night drubbing.
When last we left you with Rep. Cori Bush (Mo.), who alongside Reps. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), and Ayanna Pressley (Mass.) form the notoriously "woke" far-left Congressional coalition otherwise known as "The Squad," the freshman Congresswoman was again floating the idea of abolishing the filibuster but also suggested doing something even more radical – forcing the American people at the state level to fund abortions via action she's urging Joe Biden to take at the federal level in the event the draft majority SCOTUS opinion leaked earlier this month holds and Roe v. Wade gets overturned.
In addition to those ideas, Bush also told the Huffington Post in an interview Wednesday that President Biden needs to say the word "abortion" more when he's talking about the issue:
But she'd also like to hear Biden use the word "abortion" more. Last week was the first time in his presidency that Biden publicly said the word "abortion." Up until then, he had used it only three times ― but all in written remarks.
"I do think that he should say it more," Bush said.
"People are looking to what the president does. A lot of times that holds more weight than what people are hearing come out of Congress. Because folks may not always know their Congress member's name."
Pro-abortion groups and their media allies have been playing dangerous word games on the issue for decades (including very recently), choosing to use phrases like "reproductive rights" or "reproductive justice" or "woman's right to choose" because they felt they were more sympathetic terms than words like "abortion," which are direct and to the point and might raise questions abortion fanatics don't want to answer.
— Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) May 12, 2022
But in recent years there has been a divide on the left regarding the use of the word, with some groups arguing that using it might take the "stigma" away from it, while Democrat politicians in swing districts still like to opt for what they feel are more sanitized versions of the word in an effort to fool voters.
The way the current climate is in this country right now – with vast majorities on the left and right wanting a ban on abortions after 15 weeks, according to a May YouGov poll, if Joe Biden chooses once again to bow to the wokesters in his party and run with saying "abortion" more often, it's likely to backfire at a time when just about everything that could go wrong for Democrats is.
So, too, will comparisons of abortions to a trip to Burger King, which Bush disgustingly did in the same interview:
Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo): "Because for me, still, at the end of the day, if you don't like abortion, then just don't get one and don't promote it. You don't like Burger King, don't go to Burger King." https://t.co/A5eOzB8K41
— Amanda Terkel (@aterkel) May 11, 2022
All that needs to happen for Democrats to be further humiliated at the ballot box in the fall elections is for Squad members like Bush to keep talking. The GOP in turn will put their faces in ad after ad in competitive districts, and the odds are that it will prove disastrous for Democrats.
So by all means, Rep. Bush. Keep on keepin' on. Republicans will thank you for it on November 9th.

Chef and restaurateur Rick Stein and Patrick Crerar, CEO of Scottish hotel company Crerar Hotel Group, have been made CBEs in the New Year's Honours List 2018.
Stein, who gained an OBE in 2003 for services to West Country Tourism, was recognised for services to the economy.
Since opening The Seafood Restaurant in Padstow, Cornwall in 1975 with ex-wife Jill Stein, Stein has written over 20 cookery books and made more than 30 TV programmes. The business, which he runs with Jill and involves their three sons, Edward, Jack and Charlie, now includes 12 restaurants in Cornwall, Winchester, Sandbanks, Marlborough and Barnes, 40 hotel rooms, self-catering accommodation, shops and a cookery school.
Crerar, whose company Crerar Hotel Group, owns and operates 12 hotels in Scotland and one in Yorkshire, was awarded a CBE for services to the hospitality industry in Scotland and to charity.
Crerar established the business in 2006 along with Crerar Management Ltd, which manages a number of hotels in the UK. Plans to sell Crerar Hotel Group and short breaks operator easy-breaks.com to Thai backed FICO Castle collapsed in October with Crerar Hotel Group instead retaining ownership and planning to make 'substantial investments' into the hotels.
Responding to the news of his award, Crerar told Hospitality & Catering News: "I'm flabbergasted and humbled that anyone would propose me. And of course the award to me is really an award to all of those that I've worked with over the last three decades.
"It's also good that our industry gets recognised and in particular that in itself highlights recognition of the importance of hospitality to Scotland."
Stein and Crerar were among 1,123 people to receive an award in the Queen's New Year's Honours.
MBEs were awarded to Ian Harris, chief executive of the Wine & Spirit Education Trust, the organisation responsible for training many of the industry's sommeliers and other wine and spirit professionals, and Michael Moss, formerly general manager of Portstewart Golf Club, for services to golf, tourism and charity in Northern Ireland.
Arwyn Watkins, managing director of Cambrian Training Company in Welshpool, was made an OBE for services to education and training and Ellen Wiles, a chef at Oak Field Special School in Bulwell, Nottinghamshire, received a BEM for services to children with special dietary requirements.

- The Ulan Coal Mine includes both open cut and underground mining operations and has approval to operate until 2033
- The East Pit Area 2 has been progressively rehabilitated since the early 1980's with 50.4 hectares within the former open cut mining area successfully rehabilitated
- See what score you get for your Rehabilitation and Closure program
- Find out about Decipher's Rehabilitation and Closure solution
Background information on the Ulan Coal MineThe Ulan Coal Mine is in the central west of NSW about 38 kilometres north east of Mudgee. The mine is primarily surrounded by rural landholdings, native bushland and primary industries including agriculture, state conservation areas, mining (including other coal mining operations) and extractive industries.
- The complex includes both open cut and underground mining operations and operates pursuant to development consent PA08_0184 granted by the (then) Department of Planning, Industry and Environment.
- The mine has approval to operate until 2033.
- Coal deposits at Ulan were first worked in the 1920s with the first underground mine producing coal in 1942 and the second underground mine producing coal in 1957.
- Mining operations expanded substantially in the 1980s, with more open cut operations and a coal preparation plant and rail loading facilities.
- The open cut operations were placed on care and maintenance in 2016, however, the underground operations continue to operate at the time of writing.
- The domain where rehabilitation has been completed comprises 50.4 hectares within the former open cut mining area known as East Pit Area 2 (EPA2). Rehabilitation has been undertaken progressively at EPA2 since the early 1980s.
Required rehabilitation outcomesThe required rehabilitation outcomes for the EPA2 area are detailed in the Ulan Coal Mining Operations Plan (MOP) approved by the Regulator. The MOP requires the title holder to achieve the approved rehabilitation objectives, rehabilitation completion criteria and final landform.
See what score you get for your Rehabilitation and Closure programThis includes the following key obligations:
- Establish a safe, stable, self-sustaining and non-polluting landform that is free-draining.
- Establish and final land use that consists of grassland, shrubs and native trees similar to the pre-mining environment.
Rehabilitation progressRehabilitation has been undertaken progressively at EPA2 since the early 1980s in accordance with the obligations set out in the approved MOP. Figures 3 to 5 show the progress of rehabilitation between 1992 and 2019. The rehabilitation was the subject of ongoing monitoring and maintenance in accordance with the requirements of the approved MOP. The scope of the monitoring program, which was undertaken by a specialist ecological consultancy firm, was designed to evaluate performance against the rehabilitation objectives and completion criteria. The range of parameters evaluated as part of the monitoring program included vegetation structure, floristic composition, fauna habitat, native fauna presence, weed and pest animal presence, soil structure and function, and landform stability. To support the application for rehabilitation sign-off of this area, the mining company submitted a report prepared by the ecological consultancy firm, which compiled years of monitoring data collected for the area. Key observations to support the sign-off for the area included:
- The final landform is safe, stable, non-polluting and free draining. Slopes are compatible with the proposed final land use.
- There are no gully or erosion features, or rills greater than 20 millimetres deep that are active or pose a risk to the final land use. The soils are stable, non-polluting and the data presented in sampling reports shows evidence of key structural formation and function.
- There is no spontaneous combustion present.
- The final landform design has surface contours blended to the surrounding landscape with no slumping.
- The final landform consists of dense vegetation covering a consistent slope that falls to the south east.
- Surrounding landscape features and vegetation communities are present within the rehabilitated areas and evidenced in the form of faunal composition, habitat features such as shelter, foraging areas, breeding habitat and general biodiversity of the site.
- The species composition represent the seed mix from the 1980s and 1990s and monitoring data also shows that seed movement from surrounding native woodland is regenerating naturally within the rehabilitated area. The site comprises a mix of Acacia woodland (10.3 hectares), Mixed-Eucalypt woodland/open forest (9.7 hectares), Spotted Gum woodland/open forest (21.2 hectares) and grassland/shrubland (9.2 hectares).
- The 0.5 hectares dam is fed from a small local catchment that is dependent on rainfall events, consequently being dry during drought conditions. The dam augments habitat when surface runoff is sufficient to replenish it.
- The area exhibits all the key attributes of an area that is functioning as a self-sustaining native ecosystem which has reached a state of high resilience and requires minimal maintenance.
- The area satisfies all the required ecological, soil and landform rehabilitation completion criteria with no significant weed infestations.

Hello artists and art lovers! Here's a great opportunity to get on Artblog and be part of the stream of love going out to our new Mayor Michael Nutter as he gets ready to appoint an art czar and create an Office of Arts and Culture (we hope).
Here's the deal. We will create a series of photo posts on the blog called A Kiss for Mayor Nutter that will include images of artists and art lovers throughout the city. These images make the face of the "arts" constituency somehow more real than it seems when people talk about artists and the arts.
So, send us jpeg images of yourselves in the city, one per artist — at Love Park, at a gallery, at the museums, the zoo, on Broad St….somewhere in Philly–you know you have these photos and we want em! Send medium resolution images (281 height x 375 width is the Artblog standard size) with your name and the location of the picture. We will run these images in a stream under the heading "A Kiss for Mayor Nutter" in a continuing series of posts starting today.
Act now and send us your images (one per person, please). Email: email@example.com .
We are acting in collaboration with Kevin Derrick, of designphiladelphia blog, who proposed an image campaign to show the how Philadelphia artists love the city and love being artists here. Check out what Kevin is doing on his blog.
So see yourself on Artblog and show the Mayor the faces of Philadelphia's visual art world!!
