Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
By: The Crazy Cat L
I have two cars. I bought this cover for my Mitsubishi 3000GT. It is not driven much because of mileage and age but I want it to be clean when I do drive it. This cover is perfect. It keeps my 3000GT clean and dry. It is parked under a carport so the sun is not really an issue. I was so impressed with the cover that I just bought another cover of the same quality for my neighbor's pickup tru

Prepare for a Steel Magnolias moment, people. If you can take in this story without crying, then you might be under sedation. Stacie Crimm at age 41 discovered she was pregnant. While she was overjoyed, it was a few months later that strange things started happening to the single mom.
In between being ecstatic about bringing a baby into her life, Crimm suffered severe headaches and double vision. She knew something was wrong, so she asked her brother to take care of her unborn baby in case she didn't live. Her diagnosis of cancer in her head and neck only confirmed what she already knew, but Crimm was determined to have her baby girl and refused treatment that could harm the baby growing inside.
Now the challenge was to live long enough to see baby Dottie, and Crimm almost didn't make it.
This is where the tears well up. As Crimm's health began a severe decline, and the tumor began to wrap around the brain stem, her oxygen levels decreased and the baby's heart rate plummeted. Baby Dottie Mae was delivered by C-section weighing only 2 pounds and 1 ounce. Dottie Mae was rushed into neonatal intensive care and it looked like her mother wasn't going to live long enough to even see her baby's face. But after a few days, Stacie Crimm did get off the ventilator that was keeping her alive and for a moment there was hope.
Until on September 8 when Crimm stopped breathing and was technically dead. As she was resuscitated, one nurse decided that this mother needed to see her baby before she died, since they had been separated after the preemie was born and had never been together. So baby Dottie was brought into Crimm's hospital room for the first and last time to meet her mother. Three days later Stacie Crimm died.
While it's possible that Crimm would not have been able to fight off such an aggressive form of cancer whether she had been pregnant or not, her family will never know. Her brother and his wife will raise Dottie Mae, and they believe that this is exactly what Stacie would have wanted: To make the ultimate sacrifice for this little girl. I can't help but wonder if this would be a choice I could make if I had to choose between my own life and the life of my unborn baby.
Leaving a baby without a mother (and the father was never named) seems unthinkable. Dottie Mae is in great hands, as it seems like Crimm's brother and sister-in-law are more than willing and able to raise the little girl along with their own children and provide a wonderful home. Something Stacie Crimm knew all along. It was a brave choice, and one that had to have been unbelievably difficult, but ultimately rewarding as Stacie Crimm had baby Dottie Mae laid on her chest to say hello and goodbye.
Could you give your life for your unborn baby?

WAREHAM — Austin Shenton batted .349 with nine doubles, four home runs and 30 RBIs in the regular season, before the Wareham Gatemen slugger somehow took his game to the next level in the playoffs. He continued to punish pitchers in the first game of the Cape League championship series.
With the bases loaded in the fifth inning of a scoreless game, he stroked a ball to the wall in right field, just out of reach of a lunging Spencer Torkelson, who crashed into the wall before relaying the ball back in to the second baseman after three runs had already scored.
Shenton's double gave Wareham a 3-0 lead, which the Gatemen extended for a 5-3 win against the Chatham Anglers on Saturday at Spillane Field. The Anglers will host the second game of the best-of-three series at 7 p.m. on Sunday at Veterans Field.
Shenton, who went 1-for-4 on Saturday, has hits in all five playoff games, including three home runs. In the past eight games, Shenton has knocked in 16 runs.
One day after Tristin English pitched 8 2/3 innings in a 3-2 win against the Brewster Whitecaps to clinch the East Division title, he blasted a pinch-hit home run in the bottom of the ninth to pull the Anglers within two runs. But Chatham could not overcome the four-run deficit entering the final inning to complete the comeback.
The Gatemen followed up Shenton's base-knock in the fifth inning with two runs in the seventh inning. Jakob Goldfarb (Oregon) roped a stand-up triple down the right-field line to score Isaac Collins (Creighton) from first base. Two batters later, Jeremy Ydens (UCLA) knocked in Goldfarb with a sacrifice fly.
The Chatham Anglers had ample chances to score, especially early in the game. In the second, third, fourth and fifth innings, they had a runner on second base, but never managed to get a runner across home plate in any of those innings.
Wareham starting pitcher Ryan Garcia consistently allowed runners on base, but didn't give up a run in five shutout innings with seven strikeouts. After inducing a groundout for the final out of the fifth inning to strand Torkelson on second base, manager Don Sneddon opted for the bullpen.
The Anglers finally scored in the top of the seventh inning when Torkelson clanked a ball off the top of the bleachers behind the left-field fence for a solo home run. He has three home runs in the playoffs.

Evan here...mommy is busy washing my onesies and solving the mysteries of healthy baby sleep schedules, so I thought I'd post an update for her ;-).
I am 6 weeks old now and getting very excited about the world around me. Everyone I see tells me how adorable I am, and how cute my big, chubby cheeks are! I just love my swing and bouncer, and am really into this "play gym" thing.
Like most babies my age, I am starting to smile and coo, and have a wicked witching hour right before bedtime. Being tired is the pits! Over the past few days I've started to help mommy out with that whole "routine" thing-turns out naps aren't so bad after all. Mommy is so proud of me. If she thinks sleeping is a big achievement, just wait- I've got more where that came from. ;-)

Read the most frequently asked questions we receive from our patients.
1. How soon can I have my new teeth?
Your Dental Implants need to bond (integrate) with the bone after they have been put in. This takes at least 3 months in the lower jaw and 6 months in the upper jaw. Sometimes the Implants may be stable enough when they are fitted for the artificial teeth to be attached much sooner than this.
2. Who is bested suited to Dental Implant treatment?
Anyone who has lost one or several of their teeth is a candidate for Dental Implant treatment.
3. Is Dental Implant surgery painful?
You will not experience any pain or discomfort. Dr. Little You will be relaxed and at ease throughout the procedure. You are not unconscious at any time, just in a deeply relaxed state.
4. Is there a chance my body will reject the Implant?
The body will not reject a Dental Implant. Dental Implants are made from titanium which is completely bio-compatible (compatible with body tissue). Over time the Dental Implant will actually integrate with the surrounding bone and become a part of the body.
5. Am I too young or too old for Dental Implants?
Dental Implant patients may be in their late teens or be mature adults in their seventies or eighties. Good health coupled with adequate bone support at the Implant site, are the most critical components of treatment.
6. Why have Dental Implants become so popular?
As our life span increases, the need for some type of permanent dental replacement system becomes very important to our overall health. Dentures and removable bridges are loose and unstable; causing many problems for wearers. Dental Implants provide patients with both functional and esthetic benefits and can dramatically increase a patient's quality of life.
7. How do I clean around the Implants?
You will definitely need to clean daily around the Implants. Brushing as well as flossing is of great importance. There may be the need for a prescription mouthrinse which can further help you keep your Implants healthy. Electric toothbrushes can also be helpful for cleaning around Implants. Other cleaning aids may be recommended during your consultation.
8. Can anything go wrong with Dental Implants?
There are really not many things that can go wrong with Dental Implants. Most cases where Implants have failed or gone 'wrong' are due to a dentist who is poorly trained in these techniques. Patients must always seek out experienced practitioners to perform this kind of work to ensure proper results.
9. What will happen if I do not get Dental Implants?
After you have lost your tooth, gradually you will loose the bone that supported it. As the bone disappears, you may start to experience problems with other teeth nearby. This could include pain, mobility and sore spots. Your tongue may also become enlarged to compensate for the missing tooth. As the bone continues to deteriorate, it will spread around healthy teeth. This will eventually cause further tooth loss.» For more information on Dental Implants, please contact West Hills Family Dentistry Center today on (503) 291-0000 or click here to email us.

- SpaceX to use 'giant party balloon' to recover upper stage
SpaceX to use 'giant party balloon' to recover upper stageby Justin King
To make rockets fully reusable, the recovery must include both stages and the payload fairing.
SpaceX is apparently working on a unique method to recover the upper stage of a rocket after it has delivered its payload to orbit.
SpaceX will try to bring rocket upper stage back from orbital velocity using a giant party balloon— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 15, 2018
The company has already recovered and relaunched the Falcon 9's first stage. After separating from the second stage, the booster performs a flip maneuver and heads back to Earth to land using its own rocket engines to slow descent and gently touch down on a solid landing pad.
The most recent launches have introduced an experimental system to catch the payload fairings in a giant net slung above the deck of a ship, with mixed results so far.
To make the entire launch system completely reusable, the upper stage must also be recovered. Traveling at a much higher orbital velocity, the second stage poses a bigger challenge.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk suggests a helium-filled balloon is great for creating a giant object that retains its shape at high Mach speeds and drops the vehicle's ballistic coefficient by two orders of magnitude.
The second stage is already designed to shift its orbit to a certain point in the Pacific Ocean with no islands and few ships. Recovery will require a new target closer to shore, within range of a catcher ship.
Recovering the second stage is the next milestone in SpaceX's quest to take humans to Mars. The plan centers around a reusable heavy-lift launch vehicle with a second stage that integrates the spacecraft. Rather than deorbiting the second stage, its propellants will be refilled in orbit to provide more fuel for its journey between planets.

1st Sunday of Lent
The gospel of the first Sunday of Lent brings us together with Jesus on the mountain. Christ is away from the people, experiencing loneliness and moments of confrontation with evil.
Each of us experiences loneliness and the attempts of temptation.
In the example in the Bible, God is presenting man with a deeper love for his Creator. As we know, the greatest temptation took place in Paradise, where, because of disobedience and lack of trust, we lost the original friendship with God, but also among ourselves.
In the temptation in the desert, Jesus is confronted by Satan as the first people were with the snake. With this, however the difference is that Jesus is unworthy of any of these proposals. It is the announcement of the final battles that took place on the cross.
The death of Jesus restores the way of dialogue with God.
At the beginning of Lent, like every year, we are called to conversion.
In defeating Satan, Jesus teaches us how to fight against sin and its consequences.
We need to know the significance of Jesus and all His accomplishments over time.
Jesus proclaimed, love of God and neighbor, and our enemies as the basis of the Kingdom of God whose participants are already here on earth.
With our cooperation, the acceptance of God's law and involvement in its realization is dependent on how the Kingdom of God will be seen in the modern world.
Lent is a time of reflection on the mystery of the presence of the Son of God on earth.
Jesus came into the world to help us rebuild our ties and trust in God. Conversion, which is the only way in this process, must therefore rely on our transformation, changing the way by which we look at the world and ourselves.
We need everywhere and in every situation, good and bad, to see you God, and certainly it will help us to get closer to Him.
Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

Can you use JotForm Anywhere in conjunction with /user/login?
I want to be able to embed JotForm Anywhere into my web application, but instead of having each user get their own account I would rather they just use mine so I can keep the billing under my account and not charge them for using the form creator. I was hoping I could somehow log myself in on the server side and use those credentials in conjunction with the javascript API such that forms would all be created on my account. Is this possible? Thanks!
- JotForm SupportMikeAnswered on January 22, 2016 at 02:22 PM
Thank you for contacting us.
Personally, I do not think that JotForm Anywhere was created with an idea of supporting a single account for forms created by different users. Anyway, I have attached a ticket to this thread and forwarded it to our developers to see if they can provide you with more information on this subject.
We will get back to you as soon as we have any updates.
- shaunc869Answered on January 22, 2016 at 09:54 PM
Thanks for the update, it might make sense to purchase and embed JotForm, but I am looking for the best solution. I would rather use the web solution, but let me know what you think. Thanks!
- JotForm Supportashwin_dAnswered on January 23, 2016 at 03:11 AM
Hello shaunc869,
My colleague have already sent a feature request ticket and forwarded it to our backend team. Please standby for updates from them.
Thank you!

Can I find information about this request ticket? It will be implemented?
- JotForm SupportdavidAnswered on March 23, 2016 at 02:41 PM
This request has not received much attention and has been given a rather low priority due to a lack of interest. If there is any movement on this request, we will update this ticket as soon as there is.
In the mean time, forms can be managed from a single main account by sharing them from that account with other accounts as a sub-user:

Real Techniques brushes are designed by Samantha Chapman of the famous Pixiwoo. They're synthetic, cruelty free, don't shed and dry really after washing them! I had heard of these but never really used them. Before I started to really get into makeup I rarely used anything other than the brushes that came with the products. Buying a separate brush, never mind one for each section of the face, was alien to me. So when I knew I was going to be starting my course in Level 2 Makeup I thought I was really excited to find out how to use them.
I own a couple of brushes .. a blusher brush, an eyeliner brush and a smudger all from Avon but not really used them. One brush I have never thought to buy was an eyeshadow brush. Like I said I just used the applicators which were already provided. I was in Superdrug about a month ago and was about to pay for some MUA cosmetics (the only reason I really shop there) when I saw one lonely purple brush on the shelf. It was the Real Techniques Shading Brush, all the other brushes in the collection were sold out! It was screaming at me to buy it, I mean at £6.99 how could I say no?
I have been using it for all my eyeshadow applications now on myself and on others, It's the only one I'm using right now, I love it!
What the blurb says about Real Techniques Shading Brush
From subtle to dramatic, this brush is ideal for creating flawless high-definition results:
- look pixel-perfect even in harsh light
- ultra-plush, synthetic taklon bristles are hand-cut and 100% cruelty-free
- extended aluminum handle is light and easy to use
What brushes are you using? I would love some blog post links for me to check out brush reviews :)

The property was perfect for what we wanted, i.e. village location - local place to eat and drink within walking distance. It was in a beautiful area - ideal for access to numerous walk ways of varying lengths and also a short drive to the Bavarian Forest National Park (highly recommended). It's a hidden gem as there really were not many people around in the area in August.

I would like to thank Adam for his help and support at the meet. One might think that you wouldn't need a handler at a raw/unequipped meet. You can get by without a handler, but having Adam there made a big difference. I knew when I hit the platform that my depth would be good on the squat. The support, encouragement, and coaching helped me have a successful meet. Thanks once again to my awesome wife Tiffany for filming my lifts and supporting me. Thanks to Henry for his support. This was hands down my best meet ever. I am on the right track with my training thanks to Jim Wendler and his 5/3/1 program. This is an awesome program for raw lifters and could be used for equipped lifters as well.

Civil libertarians are concerned about news that FBI agents will soon get expanded snooping powers to try to find crooks and terrorists. The FBI will soon issue a new manual that will give agents broader leeway to search people's computer databases, surveil "suspects", and sort through their household trash. A former agent who's now an ACLU lawyer said this has the potential for abuse.
- They got the idea after going through Osama bin Laden's trash… they found a terrorist manifesto along with a lot of Camel poop.

Colorado Springs most authoritative calender
Think like a mountain. Move like a river.
It's good advice for the downhill section of the Barr Trail Mountain Race, but moving like a river won't help you ascend the six miles and nearly 4,000 feet in elevation from the Cog Railway Depot to Barr Camp, mid-point on the newest mountain race in the national backyard of mountain racing, Manitou Springs' own Pikes Peak.
"It's a growing sport and it's going through the same growing problems that road running did," race co-founder Matt Carpenter told the Indy at his home in Manitou Springs. "Mountain running is going through the same transition. We're seeing the demise phase right now. It is ugly. It is terrible. But there'll be a new crop of people come in that are younger and more understanding."
Carpenter hopes the Barr Trail Mountain Race (BTMR) will help set the standard for future progress in the sport, staging a good race, inclusive of everyone from first time mountain runners to the fastest racers in the world without losing sight of the responsibility to give something back to the mountain.
Pikes Peak is probably the busiest mountain in the country's most mountainous state. On Sunday it will take center stage in the surging sport that pits long distance marathoners with the Herculean feats of running at altitudes often over 14,000 feet and distances sometimes as far as 100 miles. In a state that already boasts newfound prestige from races such as the Imogene Pass Run, the Leadville 100 and The Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon (PPAM), a full slate of 300 runners will hit the Barr Trail to try and prove the adage that oxygen is overrated.
Because it's there
"There's no mountain running in Kansas," Carpenter deadpans, assessing the appeal of the sport beyond Colorado's borders. "You can just look at a relief map and figure out where there's mountains. If there's a mountain, I guarantee somebody's running up that puppy."
For those who brave the unique elements in mountain running, the altitude is obviously a major factor. There's a 3 percent reduction in oxygen mass for every 1,000 feet a runner ascends above 5,000 feet. "That's blue fingernails and blue lips, that's part of it," said Carpenter. Finishing a close second in critical factors is the terrain. From the undetectable "magic rocks" that can trip a runner off the trail to the water barriers and general uneven terrain, the development of a sharp sense of hand-foot coordination is an essential goal of training.
Nevertheless, in less than ten years, the sport has gone from virtually unheard of to borderline breakout. "People are tired of running on roads and facing cars and dealing with honking horns," Carpenter explained. "When I started The Incline Club (Carpenter's twice-weekly Peak ascent running club) four years ago, we'd get four and five people out on a run, and if it rained it'd be two of us. A lot of the runs this year we had 45 or more. If it rained, we'd even get more. It's like everyone wants the bragging rights. Who's the sickest athlete?"
The essence of sport
Sunday's race may not conclusively crown the sickest athlete, but the competition is strong enough that the winner should be pushed to a fast finish. The racers include a South African cross-country champion, several past top-ten finishers from PPAM, and Carpenter himself, the current PPAM record holder.
"There is no pleasure in winning a race by 20 minutes," said Carpenter, who will not run in PPAM until they can restore a competitive nature to the race. Carpenter set the course record in '93, spurred on by some elite Mexican runners. "The essence of sport is competition. Two years ago the race was won in the slowest time in 34 years. That's insane."
Though only seven of the 300 entrants in the BTMR are considered "elite" runners, they give the race credibility while allowing plenty of room for serious runners to try and keep pace with the sport's champions.
"This is the only sport there is where slow people, fast people, old people, young people all compete together," Carpenter pointed out. "You tell me what you'd have to do to go play a round of golf with Tiger Woods. You're not going to go shoot hoops with Michael Jordan. But if you wanted to next week, you could go plunk down whatever the entry fee is, probably 45 bucks, and go run the Chicago Marathon with Khalid Khannovchi, the world record holder. That is the unique part of this sport."
Back to the woods
When Carpenter talks about the race, much of his considerable enthusiasm stems from the goodwill he is trying to generate with an event whose aim is to help the mountain more than the event organizers.
"There's a lot of use on that trail and a lot of use going on at Barr Camp," he said. "They're to the point where the pit toilets are full. You got a stinking mess up there. They just had to put in solar-powered toilets that cost them $30,000 to $50,000. We got all these people using the mountain. What can we do to help make it better?"
With over 60 sponsors generously covering expenses, BTMR is able to use 100 percent of the registration fees to benefit three local non-profits -- Barr Camp, the half-way point with bunkhouses, toilets, and food; Friends of the Peak, an organization dedicated to restoring and rebuilding trails over the entire massif; and the All American Trail Running Association, a local organization dedicated to representing and promoting trail and mountain running. "It seems like now it's becoming the in thing to do to give back and work on it," Carpenter said of the current zeal for preserving and restoring the mountain and its trails.
Another of Carpenter's goals is to buck the aging trend in running, where more older runners are participating, but fewer younger runners. "The core group of runners is getting older and older and older, and they're not bringing anybody new into this sport. Marathon participation's at an all-time high, but then you look at the little asterisk and it says times are slower than ever. We think participation is great, but we also think bringing in new blood and trying to make things competitive is important."
Five area high schools will be operating the race's aid stations, each earning at least $500 and one earning $1,000, based on votes from runners for the best aid station. "We thought we could help the future of this sport by going out and getting high schools that are hurting for money," Carpenter said. "Manitou Springs High's budget is $500 a year. In one event, for coming out and working for four hours, they're going to get $500. If they happen to dress up neat and bring out the trombones and really impress the runners, that's $1,000."
Carpenter acknowledges the role the mountain plays in his community, and he's trying to address that debt in his approach to the race. "I think Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs in large part owe their existence to this mountain," he said. "Let's be real, Manitou was basically started for the springs and bringing people here for tuberculosis etc., etc. But through it all, Pikes Peak was the shining mountain, the big guy taking all the attention.
"We hope that the point gets across that you can use the mountain and be good citizens at the same time."

Breck Epic 2017
Written by Warren Gerow Tuesday, 26 September 2017 18:55
Going into Breck Epic I didn't have any expectations. I was mostly wondering how much of a beating I was going to take. Coming off a tough day at Leadville a few days prior, the confidence was low. I knew my fitness was respectable, but I clearly need time to adjust when racing at 10k feet. I thought taking a few days off after Leadville and doing the Breck 3-day a few days later sounded like a reasonable idea. Sunday after Leadville I was mostly licking my wounds and being a tourist. Monday I decided to scope out the start of my first Breck stage (Stage 4), which is easier said than done since the course wasn't marked. As I expected, it started off uphill, followed by more uphill. The good news was I felt better. Mostly just okay, but definitely better.
The daily racer meetings are very informative, and if you haven't raced the track before or aren't local, it's pretty much the only way to get the low-down on the next day's stage. Each day at the meeting they provided maps with valuable elevation profiles. For my first stage, which is officially stage 4, I knew it started with four "ups" and four "downs". One of the ups was affectionately called Vomit Hill. The second half of the stage included a 6-7 mile climb to 11K+ feet, followed by a descent and another moderate up and then a legit descent to the finish.
My only plan was to hope I had the lungs to pin it on the starting climb, and cross my fingers on the miles leading to the big climb of the day, and hope I didn't go backwards too fast on the big climb. The stage starts with two waves, 3-day folks are in the second wave, but there are 6-day riders of different categories in there as well, including some pros racing in the duo categories. My point is; you don't really have any idea who is who. The start was pretty uneventful. I was on the tail end of the first selection rolling up the road. As we entered the woods things pitched upwards fast and twisted up the hillside. Things got blown apart quickly, but I wasn't getting passed. I rode pretty well staying with a few guys up and down the first few climbs along the first 20 or so miles. There were some awesome single-track descents; we were mountain biking!!! I had the mileages for the aid stations on my top tube. Aid 2 was a couple miles deeper than advertised, or so I thought. The mind games started. Was the big summit going to be two miles further? Was the climb 2 miles longer? Was the aid station mileage incorrect? Eventually I caught a guy and asked him about mileage. I wasn't going crazy. Aid 2 mileage was off, and the climb wasn't going to be 2 more miles than advertised. No big deal. Back to climbing. The climbing went on and on, never really steep, but never ending. Finally reaching the summit we were again awarded with a great many miles of single-track descending. We rolled across the valley floor for a mile or so before starting the last climb of the day. It was a double-step climb. The first section was soul sucking. It was hard, I was feeling it. Eventually I started catching a few guys, which is good for the motivation. After this climb we were awarded with a 3 mile descent of nearly all great single track down through an old mining area. I thought the finish was at the skating arena in town. Mileages and times weren't adding up and the mind games started again. Next thing I knew there were spectators along the trail and the finish line wasn't where I thought. Rookie error. The finish line support was killer. I pounded a couple "Breck" finish-line sandwiches of mayo, pickles, bacon and a fist full of crushed chips. Perfect. And they had various hard liquors available along with your standard post race fare. Cool.
Stage 5 is the infamous Wheeler pass. This stage is known for requiring quite a bit of hike-a-bike. I had some new found confidence as I had won the Stage 4 40-49 Open-1-2-3 category. I had met the second place guy Harold at the awards ceremony after Stage 4. In a nut shell he was from Costa Rica, could climb like a mountain goat but got freaked out on the descents and technical sections. Stage 5 and 6 start as 10 person waves one minute apart, based on overall GC finish times of the day before. I knew Harold was starting four minutes behind me. The Wheeler stage starts with a 6 mile climb up to 12k+ feet. First aid station is mile 4; kinda early but the remainder of the stage to mile 17 is very remote. Aid stations at Breck are the best I have ever seen. It's all about the drop bags, of which they give you 3. They see you rolling into an aid and they have your bag ready. At this aid the gal ran along side me, handing bottles and telling me to just drop my empties and trash. This was awesome. As I am rolling through Harold passes me. This is not awesome. In 4 miles he has put 4 minutes into me. Damage control was my only hope, and maybe I could catch him on the big descent later in the day. As the climbing continued on we broke above treeline, and eventually transitioned on to some hiking trails that were pretty nasty. It was beautiful, epic, and wide open alpine which meant I could see Harold way off in the distance. For the next many miles we crisscrossed the continental divide, hiked, descended, tried to ride, tried to hike fast, hoped the tires didn't puncture, sucked wind, and hoped the big descent to Frisco was around the next pile of rocks. Eventually the descent happened. Last time I saw Harold he was a speck in the distance. But lucky for me, the descent started with several treacherous switch-backs, and not far down was my guy. I am a mediocre descender, but I tried to go right at my limit. I got passed by one other rider, and shortly after I went over the bars into the rocks. No major damage to bike or body. Back on the horse pushing my limits all the way down to the aid station outside of Frisco. Next was a long grindy climb back up to Breck resort. I was terrified Harold would put his climbing talent to work, and I was half cracked. A lot of guys seemed pretty smashed, but we were able to group up and keep some momentum going. I made it to the barn ahead of Harold, which I was pretty sure meant a stage win and successful defense of the GC.
The last stage is supposed to be "easier" or the cream-puff stage. It was plenty demanding out of the gate, again starting in 10 person waves. The stage essentially starts out with several miles of excellent 1-track climbing, which is probably an awesome climb if you aren't trying to go at vomit-pace. Other than being painful, the climb was uneventful. It eventually bumps out on to a dirt road before climbing up and over the continental divide at Boreas Pass. Just over the pass the course entered the woods for several miles of 1-track descending, which was part of an old mining flume. The stage is somewhat of a figure-8, which meant climbing back up to Boreas Pass. The climb is mostly on very good dirt road and is not steep. There is one catch; a head wind. I was certainly grinding a bit, and did get passed by a couple racers. I thought I was about a mile from the summit when a group of four rode up behind me. On the front was a dude and in second was a chick, both wearing leaders jerseys. I jumped on the wheel of the last rider and tried to hang on. I wasn't sure if they were sharing the work or not. I was pretty sure I would blow up if I had to ride this pace on the front into a headwind. As it turns out the leader jersey on the front pulled all the way across the summit, and it was 1.5 miles. I was psyched to summit with these folks, and even more psyched to see PBR hand-ups on top of the pass!! In true Breck Epic style the aid station folks ran along side you and picked up your empty. Nothing left but downhill to the finish. The leader jersey folks ended up being on a co-ed team. The other two riders stopped or fell off once we started the descent. The ride to the finish was fast and furious with some great double track, stream crossings, a short section of pavement and a final couple of miles on the 1-track we had started the day on. This stage was definitely shorter; but I am not sure I would call it "easy".
All said and done I won the GC for 40-49 age group for the 3-day, which was pretty cool after a tough start to the week. The Breck Epic is a true mountain bike race. Race Director Mike Mac knows knows how to plan and execute a bike race. He knows the industry, and he knows trail advocacy. His experience and personality really make this a great race, I would highly recommend the experience to anyone. I rode my Kona Hei Hei Race Supreme, with the fork bumped out to 120mm by the guys at the shop. The bike was flawless all week. It handled the descents really well, and the only limit on the climbing was me. Having not ridden in CO before, I wasn't sure what to run for tires. I went with my old standby of Racing Ralphs with snakeskin protection. They were great at both races, no issues on any of the terrain all week. Big thanks for Schwalbe for their support.

Additional comments:
If you had asked me ten years ago whether some of my best friends would be people I have never met in person but only online, I would have found the idea surreal, yet that is indeed the case. Since moving to North Carolina eight years ago while continuing to teach for the University of Oklahoma, I've come to conduct my whole professional life online. As a result of spending all that time online, I've met many wonderful colleagues online, especially at Google+ and in the blogosphere. I've also made some friends at Twitter, much to my own surprise (the 140 characters can actually do a lot day by day).
So, if someone is planning to teach a fully online course, I would urge them to make sure first that they have had this kind of experience online, truly getting to know a person without having met them in person, face to face. Once you realize this possibility of mutual recognition online, then you are ready to experience that in your classes too!
At the DML 2015 Conference in LA, I got a chance to meet some people in person whom I have known only online before, and that was a great experience! I was surprised that there were no surprises: we were able to just carry on with our conversations at the conference as we have always done online, and we moved back into online mode again after the conference was over. I'm glad we got to meet in person, but it was also reassuring to see that it was not essential that we meet in person: fun, but not required. What is important is the way we are able to share our work with one another, online or offline: either way works!
Meanwhile, I can highly recommend DML as a really remarkable conference experience; I've written up some notes about that here: DML 2015. Here's a video presentation by one of my online friends, Gardner Campbell, whom I first got to know through Connected Courses:

For many people, the boiler is the central part of their homes. It provides hot water so that we can have showers, take baths, do laundry, and do dishes. The problem is that every boiler has a maximum lifespan and when it is nearing the end of its life, things can go wrong. If you've ever had the misfortune of stepping into a suddenly cold shower in a morning, you've probably encountered a boiler that is not working properly.
How to Know Your Boiler Is on the Blink
The thing is that most of us are not experts on plumbing or boiler operation. This means that we need to be on the lookout for signs that a boiler needs replacing or expert attention. Don't wait until the boiler has completely broken down before calling out an expert in boiler repairs in Plymouth!
Here are some pointers on what to look for in a boiler that may be on the cusp of breaking down:
- Costs: Boilers that are aging or are reaching end of life may actually use more energy. If you notice that your energy bills have increased significantly, it could be your boiler that is to blame!
- Leaking: A sure sign of a boiler that is on the way out, any water leaks around the unit are nothing to be ignored.
- Age: No boiler lasts forever; if you have one that is more than a decade old, it might be time to consider getting a new one installed.
Don't Wait!
The thing is that many people just ignore the warning signs that their boilers are in trouble or they miss them altogether. Rather than wait, why not call out an expert?

The great American middle class wasn't something that just happened – it was built brick by brick. It was built by soldiers returning from war and a government that repaid them by giving them a shot at college.

This little room has gone through a number of transformations over the years. When me and my sisters were little it was filled to the brim with toys and craft materials. Now it is a much more subdued space which is mostly used for reading in or watching television in.
It also houses my sewing machine, which I always intend to use, but invariably never do. The pictures on the cork board at the back are always changing. The fabric covered boxes house my growing my number of postcards and magazine cuttings, which I am never sure quite what to do with!
It's not quite a Lobster & Swan beauty, but it is a great place to hangout.

I'm SO proud of myself!
CIDESCO is an international beauty therapist examination which has two parts: a practical examination and a multiple selection exam, both exams take one day. SKY-examination is a Finnish examination which only has the practical side; in this examination you show what you can do and the examination lasts four days.
The morning of the CIDESCO examination, 6am in Järvenpää train station.
So, I passed both of the examinations! I was so worried of not passing the practical side of CIDESCO, but it turned that I had done good job.
I have cried a lot lately, especially on the CIDESCO-weekend. All the stress and pressure I've managed to hold in me have made me such a crybaby :')
The past forthnight I have had to wake up on 5 or 5.30 am every single morning, and ahh how tired I am now!
But enough with the complaining.
A card me & my friends made for the small shop near us we used to visit.
I'm going to study for entrance exams for LAUREA university of applied science, trying to get in for further beauty studies. They only tak in few people so I might not get in, especially because this will be my first time trying to get in there.
I'm also working randomly, a couple of days per week to save up some money for future.
AND NOW I HAVE MORE TIME FOR YOUTUBE AND THIS BLOG! <3 I'm so happy to commit more time to my most loveable hobby ever!
Hope you're having a lovely day!

Italian, the language of love... -Tasty Tidbits E-zine, Issue #005
March 08, 2010
In this Issue...
Ciao! Hope you had a productive and satisfying week (both in and out of the kitchen)! This past week I have been doing a lot of "quick" cooking myself, including *two* nights of freshly prepared pizza from scratch. Check out the link to the recipe below.
This issue is also the first in a series of mini Italian language lessons. Just so you can sound a little more like the natives whether you're visiting Firenze or just serving up some Italian in your very own kitchen!
Until next time...
Italian, the language of Love...
Ah! La lingua dell'amore! The language of Love!
Italian is a very romantic language (both literally as it is ONE of the romantic languages and figuratively as it is very romantic sounding). I've met many who have wanted to learn this beautiful language but never had the time, opportunity or ability to. I am fortunate enough to have been raised in an environment where Italian was spoken around me on a daily basis. My first spoken words were in Italian, and although I took to speaking English after I began school, I was still surrounded by it at home.
It wasn't until college though that I really cemented my ability to speak it fluently (and correctly). I began taking Italian classes and then studied abroad in Rome for the spring semester of my junior year. There is nothing like being submerged in a country to learn a language. If it's possible for you to ever do something like that, I STRONGLY urge you to do it! It's the best experience you will ever have.
But, for those of us who can't freely travel or just want a little snippet of knowledge to add to our repertoire - here is a brief lesson for you!
Hard and soft "c" in the Italian language
When meeting an Italian for the first time it is polite to shake and hands and say:
"Piacere, mi chiamo Maria" (Pee-ah-che-reh, me key-ah-moe Mah-ree-ah)
This translates to "It's a pleasure, my name is Maria"
In Italian the letter "c" can have two different types of sounds. They are both evident in the phrase above. If the letter c is followed by an "i" or an "e" it makes a "ch" sound.
If it is followed by any other vowel, "a", "o" or "u" it makes a "k" sound. This is apparent in words such as "cannoli" and "cappuccino". Actually "cappuccino" has both types of "c" sounds - See! You probably already knew how to pronounce them correctly!
Lastly, the letter "c" can sometimes be followed by an "h". The Italian language throws the "h" in whenever the "c" needs to sound hard, but it is being followed by an "i" or "e". That is shown above in the word "chiamo". "Chiamare" means "to call, or be called"
A word that you may recognize using this sound is the popular coffee drink a "macchiato". Here you can hear the hard "k" sound.
Consequently, in Italian the word "macchiato" means "stained". In Italy if you wanted to order a coffee with a splash of milk you would say "Un caffè macchiato", or "A stained coffee". Kind of neat, huh?
This week practice the hard and soft "c". Try and think of other words you may already know in Italian that incorporate these sounds. Until next time...Arrivederci! ;-)

In keeping up with late-breaking news and happenings on the Italian peninsula here are a couple of interesting stories I'd like to pass along to you this week.
(ANSA) - Arezzo, March 4 - The mayor of Arezzo on Thursday urged the government to make a bid for the archives of Renaissance art chronicler Giorgio Vasari, which go on sale next week at a highly-anticipated auction in Tuscany....
Another interesting story I found:
(ANSA) - Rome, March 4 - Italy began experimenting with its first airport body scanner on Thursday kicking off a trial period for the new security devices adopted after the failed Christmas Day bomb attack on a transatlantic flight to Detroit....
What is Buffalo Mozzarella?
If you're like many Americans you will typically recognize mozzarella in it's pre-packaged "shredded" or "block" varieties. Generally here in the USA mozzarella is slightly yellowish with a medium to soft-ish, chewy texture. However, I dare you to present this cheese to a native Italian and convince them that it is, in fact, mozzarella. They will undoubtedly be perplexed.
That is because in Italy mozzarella is SO different than what we see here.
First of all it is soft. Very soft. Pretty much impossible to "grate" (although slightly harder varieties make it possible to do so) Therefor it is usually sliced or cubed when using in Italian dishes. Because of this softness, it is extremely moist. The moisture is retained by the usual milky white water that it is often stored in to preserve freshness and taste. If your mozzarella is not wet, you should seriously doubt it's quality and origins.
Mozzarella also usually presents itself in ball form. Whatever the size, the shape is most definitely always round. This has to do with the process of making the cheese and is also another good indicator of authenticity.
So what is Buffalo mozzarella? It's exactly what it sounds like. Cheese made from Buffalo's milk. Now hey - don't get critical here. Unless you've tried this variety of cheese in the heart of where it originates (mainly around Naples and the surrounding areas), do not judge! It is by far the sweetest, most tantalizing experience your mouth will ever have! There is just nothing like it in the world.
To get a taste of something similar, check out the imported cheese section of your deli. There should be at least *some* varieties of soft, fresh mozzarella to choose from. Use in a caprese salad recipe or to top a pizza.
And if you want to be adventurous, you may want to buy some imported Buffalo Mozzarella online. Short of flying there yourself, it's the best way to get a good quality cheese. Trust me. You won't be disappointed!

India is a country of culture. The people in India follow this culture for so many years. As Britishers ruled India for more than 300 years, they affected the whole India so much that our rules and regulations also has an impact on British Policies. But for positive side, now India is growing at a very fast speed, in every field like technology, education, economy and also in relationship concern. Along with these growths and developments, the Indian Culture is also affected by the Britishers and Americans Culture. Nowadays, the questions arise that live in relationship is better or marriage is better? Everyone has its own thinking and its own aspect. So, live in relationship vs marriage debate started in India for the past few years. Indian Society and Indian Youths like the Western Culture so much that even they are now neglecting the Indian Culture. A majority of Indian Youths is totally affected by Western Culture.
The major cities in India are totally affected by Western Culture. Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Noida, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Gurgaon is the name of such cities in which Indian Youths follow the Western Culture at a very large scale. Due to the effect of Western Culture, some positive as well as some negative impacts are rising in our society. The people who follow Western Culture, their thinking and approach are totally changed. They do not want to involve in the debate of live in relationship vs marriage in India. According to them, the definition of Relationship has been changed totally. Which is better – live in relationship vs married life? The youth of India prefers to "Live in Relationship" instead of living a "Married Life".
So, there are many questions arising in our society as well as in our mind too that is it right to live in a relationship instead of living a married life?? Is live in relationship couples more happier than wedded couples?? The debate is started between wedded couples over unmarried pairs. There are a lot of confused people who regularly search about live in relationship pros and cons to improve their love life. Our Society and Youth are also divided into two groups, one favors Live in Relationship life and other favors Married Life. As well as, this is one of the hottest topics of Indian Society and Media, that living together before marriage is good or living together after marriage is good?
Everyone has its own and different opinion about the topic "Live in Relationship" Vs "Marriage". Some say it is wrong to be living in a relationship or living together without marriage, as Indian culture doesn't allow to do this. Some say what's wrong with living together without marriage, as the couple has no problem. Why we would go for marriage as we are totally satisfied to be Live in Relationship. So, we are here highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of live in relationship, which are as follows:-
Live in Relationship Pros: –
Better Understanding: – The couple who are living together before marriage have better understanding between them as compared to arrange the marriage. They understand each other very well. Without understanding and trust, they do not live a happy life. We have seen a numerous live in relationship cases in India on a regular basis which ended up very badly. Everything matters a lot in a good relationship. The couples who share their feelings, emotions, happiness, sadness, etc.; with their partners can live happily for life long. These are also the good signs of a perfect relationship.
Long Term Relationship: – Living together without marriage is not so much easy for any couple. There should be need of trust and belief so much in that relationship. So, the couple who live in relationship, trust and believe each other very much. That's why their relationship continues for a long time. So, we can say that live in a relationship without marriage is a long term relationship.
Space: – Nowadays everyone needs space in their life. Everyone wants to live their life as he/she wishes. That's why most of the couples nowadays living together before marriage, as they do not interfere with their lives. Everyone has rights to take decision of their life and they follow this concept. Also they respect each other decisions.
Live in Relationship Cons: –
Divorce: – In recent times, survey shows that the most of the divorce cases are due to live in a relationship before marriage. The couple got so much frustrated that they do not want to see their faces in the whole life. These days, anyone can check divorce cases in India 2014 online. According to the stats, divorce cases in India are increasing day by day.
Fake Relation: – Sometimes, one partner or both are not happy with each other. They do not to live together but the problem is that both partners have not so much courage to say them. Then the problem starts increasing day by day. Then they live in relationship but actually they just manage the fake relationship between each other. Then the concept of marriage vs live in relationship debate arises and also the question arises is love marriage is better than arranged marriage or not?
Live in Relationship will be Successful if and only if: –
For a healthy and long lasting relationship, it is necessary that each person in the relationship clears everything before living together like their expectations, space in their lives, likes, dislikes, career, etc. They are also clearing the exact time limit of this relationship and after then they will separate or will do marriage, whatever they want, just clear it before. People also go to doctors and psychiatrists to take advice & tips for a good relationship between husband and wife. When both the people in the relationship clears everything to each other and totally satisfy to each other, after then only they will be going to live in a relationship before marriage. This is the best way to live in a relationship before marriage.

Hello All! Long time no see.
For any of you gentelemen out there that are reading this...(like maybe 1?) there are a few rules if you're to the point where you plan on asking your girl to marry you. I know this because I recently got engaged. That means I said yes, and my fiancé did everything right in order for me to do so :)
Rule #1: You must ask her parent's permission. Both of them. There is no exception to this rule and I highly recommend doing it in person.
Rule #2: Get down on one knee.
Rule #3: Use her full name when you ask.
Rule #4: What this post is all about, and what most guys fail to do...... hire a photographer to secretly shoot the proposal. That is where my fiancé gets one GIANT golden star. He did this for me, and the photos were my birthday present! (p.s. my birthday was Sunday, and I am now an elderly 23 years old.
WARNING: I look TERRIBLE in these pictures. But it's alright, because they're cute.
I'm so proud of him for pulling this off. The pictures are perfect and I can't wait to display them!
All info is below. Have a good weekend! x

Part 1 – Part 2 – Part 3 – Part 4 – Part 5
The political and historical struggle for meaning is often lost in the modern use of language and the signs composing it. Signs however, have a material origin from which they arise and to which they return. As Stuart Hall (1980) instructs, the meaning of signs can only be found in contemplation of their historic moment of production—the political and material conditions under which signs are born. An example of this insight, that may have some contemporary value to critical academics, is the origin of the too often abused term "ideology" and its derivatives. Contemporary and popular use of the word ideology carries with it a vague, if not, negative connotation. Ideologues are thought to speak not from a factual basis but from a preferred system of values and beliefs; they are zealous believers who uncompromisingly adhere to a particular set of beliefs regardless of refuting evidence. There is a tendency to attach the sign onto anything one disagrees with or to use it to disparage radical methods or theories. This use of the term, however, is a distortion of its original meaning and its emergent political conditions.
The term ideology originally had an oppositional rather than negative meaning. The term stood in opposition to both classical political and philosophical thought. Antoine Louis Claude Destutt de Tracy (1754-1836) first used the term in post revolutionary France to mean a "science of ideas" (de Tracy, 1817; Kennedy, 1978; Thompson, 1990). This somewhat positivistic, but radical for the time, intellectual endeavor sought to integrate the fields of ethics, politics, economics and science with an enlightened and liberal approach in opposition to prevailing philosophies. The Ideologues believed that they could extend the scientific and deductive methods to the realm of human ideas and that knowledge and understanding could be verified using sensory data. This position stood in sharp contrast to the rationalism and reemerging political thought of the eighteenth century. So the original Ideologues were a group of influential academics who sought to study ideas in a systemic fashion in much the same way as one would study nature. In fact, in his writings de Tracy used the term "zoology" to describe the emerging science of ideas.
Perhaps without knowledge of de Tracy's use of the term, the reactionary French philosopher L. G. A. de Bonald (1754-1840) used the terms idéologie and ideologique in his writings (de Bonald, 1796; Naess, et al., 1956). As a proponent of the church and an opponent of the French Revolution, de Bonald stood in opposition to the philosophical and epistemological positions that drove de Tracy and his followers. Following the French Revolution far too many saw the need to reconstitute social institutions, to restore political authority and to revitalize the institutional legitimacy lost during the revolution. De Bonald saw the individualism and liberty unleashed by the reason of enlightenment and the French Revolution as the source of social disorder. This situation could only be resolved by advancing an authoritarian intellectualism. Since Enlightenment thought had destroyed the ancient intellectual order, a replacement philosophy was needed to insulate French society from further revolution. In his estimation this could be accomplished by rebuilding tradition. This restoration was to be founded on the metaphysics of theism, establishing a consensus based on aristocratic authority that would prevent the development of factions and another Enlightenment. This tradition grounded in sovereign power, the restoration of tradition and the reestablishment of social hierarchy, sprang from an emphasis on natural laws to the exclusion of rights—a monarchy deriving its power from theology as expressed by the infallibility of the Catholic church.
The term ideology reached its political and oppositional zenith in French society with the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821). Initially he embraced the term as constructed by de Tracy to devise his new constitution and rewarded adherents of the idea with academic and political position. The very notion of the scientific study of ideas, even if it occurred in rather positivistic fashion, tended to attract and be advanced by those who embraced republicanism, which later threatened Napoleon's authoritarian and autocratic tendencies. As Thompson (1990:30-31) writes:
As public opinion began to turn against the Revolution, – Napoleon who later claimed to have coined the term 'ideologues' – exploited this shift in order to disarm the representatives of republicanism…
Napoleon's opposition to the ideologues intensified during the following decade and reached a climax as the empire which he sought to establish began to collapse. The ideologues became the scapegoat for the failures of the Napoleonic regime…
As Napoleon's position weakened both at home and abroad, his attacks on ideology became more sweeping and vehement. Nearly all kinds of religious and philosophical thought were condemned as ideology. The term itself had become a weapon in the hands of an emperor struggling desperately to silence his opponents and to sustain a crumbling regime.
What emerges from this early picture of the use of the term ideology and its struggle to come into being is an oppositional discourse in a philosophical debate. The idea, however, also carried with it political possibilities and consequences for a society undergoing extraordinary struggle. Ideology became a signifier in political debate over the very nature of political power, the appropriate methods of knowledge acquisition and the ordering of society. Absent this political history it is doubtful that the term would have come into some much contemporary use and it most certainly would not have garnered its negative connotation.

Packing and figuring out what to do with everything I've been hoarding the past 4 years is such a pain. The fiancé and I have been moving for what feels like an eternity! It's been weeks of decluttering and packing! We've lived together in our 620 square foot apartment for 4 years, how can we have this much stuff??
My advice to anyone moving – start packing early and start decluttering even earlier. I was so excited to declutter because I thought it would take some of the stress out of moving. The more you get rid of the less you'll have to physically move and the less "crap" you'll have to unpack when you get there. Remember that same feeling of "what the heck do I do with this?" before the move is the same after the move.
5 Categories of Decluttering:
Where to start:
- Makeup –Throw away expired and old, grungy makeup. Give away anything that you don't like or know you won't use again. This declutter was a struggle for me. I found so much makeup I'd forgotten about! Which just proves I don't need it. (You can sell makeup on PoshMark if it's in good condition!)
Related: Why I Buy Cruelty-Free
- Clothes – This was another struggle for me. Turns out I'm a bit of a clothes hoarder. I found clothes in boxes from the first time I moved 4 years ago. If it doesn't fit or you haven't worn in years, it's time to get rid of it! You can try selling gently used clothes to consignment or resell shops. I brought 10 bags to a teen consignment shop!
- Dishes – I never really thought about decluttering the dishes until I realized how many jars and bottles I have. Sure the wine bottles are no problem, but those red sauce and jelly jars are harder to let go of. We actually used those as drinking glasses. (Yes, I am aware that I'm a 26-year-old adult woman). They had to go.
- Pots/Pans – I know you don't want to throw away perfectly good cookware. That's not what I'm talking about. We all have old pots or pans with the Teflon coming off that we always kept for emergencies. Just put them in the garbage and don't look back! You won't want those crusty pans in your new kitchen.
- Spice cabinet – This one can be as simple as getting rid of duplicates and marrying two spices or condiments together. And chucking the expired. Don't get attached.
- Furniture – Furniture is definitely something to consider decluttering. Whether you're buying a new home, storing, or just switching rooms – moving can be a fresh start. Getting rid of broken or unused furniture is not a crime. Sell it, donate it, or curb it. Plus, now you won't have to pack it.
I'm sure there a lot more things you could declutter – towels, linens, books (NO)… the point is, the more you declutter the less you have to pack. You'll feel so much better when you unpack in a new place with all your essentials for starting your new adventure.
Remember, you can declutter whenever you want, not just when you're moving. I find it rather refreshing when it's all over (while it's happening, though, the Libra inside me cries with decision anxiety).

How are you're decluttering skills? What are some of the things you find helps to declutter before a move? Let me know in the comments below!
Happy decluttering and good luck moving!

This is my next free tutorial using the wonderful Mepxy Brush Markers and The Schmincke Aerocolor Ink and refillable Liner.
This is not meant as a step by step drawing lesson but gives you an idea of how she was drawn. For the face I started with a circle and marked the centre and a line 1/3 down from it - this is the eye line. Next drew the curve of the face (centre) down to the chin line and added the neckline. Next I drew in the side eye and the side line of the face. In this image the cheek is too far down and I later gave her a 'cheeklift'. Then I added in the extra features. The mouth is only partially drawn as it is somewhat hidden in a 3/4 face.
The finished drawing with hair added and the guide lines erased. The cheek on the side has been lifted also.
Hint: Take a photo of your drawing as it helps to see the proportions better - hence why the cheek line was altered as it was 'wrong' at first.
Image transferred to the board using tracing paper.
Colour in the skin with Mepxy Brush Marker W31 - Bridal Skin. Do not worry too much about any streaking, this will be smoothed out later.
Colour in the mouth and corners of the eye with Mepxy Brush Marker R02 - Light Peach.
Colour in the contours/shadows of the face and neck with Mepxy Brush Marker N01 - Wood Ash.
Further darken using Mepxy Brush Marker N05 - Sand Storm.
Now take a make-up sponge dampened with some rubbing alcohol (easily bought at chemists and supermarkets) and gently smooth out all the streaks. She now has an almost ghostly but ethereal look to her.
Colour in the eyes with Mepxy Brush Marker L95 - Pale Olive and add (remove) highlights with the Mepxy Brush Marker 00 - Colorless.
Draw in the hair highlights with Mepxy Brush Marker N05 - Sand Storm.
Colour in the rest of the hair, and darken the eyes and eyebrows with Mepxy Brush Marker W37 - Chocolate.
Again smooth the streaks with rubbing alcohol on a damp (not wet) make-up sponge.
The rubbing alcohol can also be used to completely wipe the image away in case you wish to start over.
The image was further enhanced with Faber-Castell Gelatos and Prismacolor Pencils.
The white highlights where drawn with a Schmincke Aerocolor Liner #3 (it has a 2-6mm chisel tip which allows fine and thick lines). I filled this with Schmincke Aerocolor 101 - Supra-White.
I finished the painting with stencilling in various shades of Pebeo Studio acrylics.
The same face but different media used to create a journal entry.
Thanks for stopping into the Blog today!
