Radiation Physics
BackgroundDuring a fraction of external beam radiotherapy for prostate cancer, a mismatch between target volume and dose coverage may accumulate over time due to intra-fraction motion. One way to remove the residual error is to perform a couch shift in opposite direction. In principle, such couch shifts could cause secondary displacements of the patient and prostate. Hence it is interesting to investigate if couch shifts might amplify intra-fraction motion.
FindingsIntra-fraction motion of the prostate and patient couch position were simultaneously recorded during 359 fractions in 15 patients. During this time, a total of 22 couch shifts of up to 31.5 mm along different axes were recorded. Prostate position and couch position were plotted before, during and after each couch shift. There was no visible impact of couch shifts on prostate motion. The standard deviation of prostate position was calculated before, during and after each couch shift. The standard deviation did not significantly increase during couch shifts by 3 % on average, p = 0.88 and even slightly decreased after a couch shift by 37 % on average; p = 0.02.
ConclusionsShifts of the patient couch did not adversely affect the motion of the prostate relative to the patient couch. Hence, shifts of the patient couch may be a viable way to correct the position of the prostate relative to the dose distribution.

INDIANAPOLIS — Ahmad Bradshaw did not mean to score the winning touchdown in the Super Bowl, but he will celebrate it all the same.
The Giants running back charged through a wide-open hole for a 6-yard score to give his team a 21-17 lead over the Patriots with 57 seconds left in Super Bowl XLVI. But Bradshaw tried to stop right before the end zone and take a knee to leave the Patriots with even less time to retaliate.
Bradshaw was presumably thinking the Giants would let the clock tick down before trying to score a touchdown on the next play or setting up a chip-shot field goal for Lawrence Tynes.
"Yeah. It was a mistake by me. I had a feeling they might do that. I should have got to him and told him not to score," Eli Manning said. "As I broke the huddle it kind of crossed my mind. As I got the snap I saw their (defensive) line just ease up and I was yelling to Ahmad not to score, not to score.
"I think he thought about it and tried to stop at the last second, but rolled in."
But the extra time did not matter, and the Giants held on to beat the Patriots with a scary Hail Mary landing in the end zone as time expired.
"Oh, man, it was the best feeling in my life," Bradshaw said of the winning score. "I'm just so happy to be with my team and my family."
Bradshaw finished the game with 72 yards on 17 carries, and his 24-yard run up the sideline in the second quarter set up the Giants' first touchdown, which put them ahead 9-0. In between, the Giants had to settle for two Tynes' field goals that cut into a 17-9 Patriots lead.
"It's the greatest thing in the world, man," said Bradshaw, who was a rookie on the Giants' 2007-08 Super Bowl team. "I'm just hoping we can win another one. It's the greatest feeling in my life."
Bradshaw almost had the worst feeling in his life when he fumbled the ball at the Giants 8 yard line in the fourth quarter with the team trailing by two. But guard Chris Snee landed on the loose ball to save the Giants from catastrophe.
There was not much that separated the two teams here, and that kind of mistake could have been the difference.
"You know what? It's two of the greatest teams in the NFL, and we won it," Bradshaw said.

Coco follows a 12-year-old boy named Miguel who sets off a chain of events relating to a century-old mystery, leading to an extraordinary family reunion.
A new trailer for Disney/Pixar's latest project, Coco, has been released. It's looking like a charming and emotional story that'll tug your heartstrings.
Disney or Pixar's animated movies in 2017 haven't been the greatest. We've only seen the release of Cars 3, which isn't something to brag about. But Coco is releasing later this year and we've loved everything we've seen so far. It looks like a unique film, more than any other Pixar film to date and that's a bold claim.
Coco premiered on October 20, 2017 during the Morelia International Film Festival in Morelia, Mexico. It was theatrically released in Mexico the following week, the weekend before Día de Muertos, and became the highest-grossing film of all time in the country. It was released in the United States on November 22, 2017, and has grossed $153 million worldwide. The film received highly positive reviews, with critics praising the animation, vocal performances, musical score, songs, emotional story and respect to Mexican culture.

Movie Reviews
Stars: Garance Marillier, Ella Rumpf, Rabah Nait Oufella
Released: 7th April 2017 (UK)
Reviewer: Hannah Woodhead
Cinema's fascination with cannibalism can be traced back decades, starting with the birth of the genre in Umberto Lenzi's Il Paese del Sesso Selvaggio (The Man from the Deep River) and Ruggero Deadato's notorious Cannibal Holocaust, frequently cited as an influence by directors including Eli Roth. Bringing something new to the table, so to speak, is no easy task – how does one find substance beyond the taboo topic of people eating each other? Many have tried and failed, including Roth, whose 2015 effort, The Green Inferno, was an underwhelming homage to the genre's roots.
But Raw?
Raw is something else.
Newcomer Garance Marillier plays Justine, a vegetarian teenager from an austere household who enrolls at veterinary school, where she contends with grueling initiation rituals, difficult professors, and a fraught reunion with her elder sister. Her portrayal is vulnerable and moody, with Marillier creating in Justine a sympathetic yet dangerous protagonist – she's serious and awkward, pushed out of her comfort zone by her newfound status as a university freshman, and further displaced by her creeping realisation that there's something deeply wrong with her. She's joined by Ella Rumpf as her outgoing, hellraising older sister Alexia, and Rabah Naït Oufella as Adrien, her gay roommate whom she finds herself attracted to. This young cast proves talented beyond their years; Rumpf, in particular, plays Alexia as a dangerous, charismatic and compelling force to be reckoned with.
The first feature from writer and director Juliet Ducournau, this is a coming-of-age film with serious bite, aching with teenage angst, stylistically sitting somewhere between Ginger Snaps, The Craft and Jai Tue Ma Mere. The sense of dread one feels watching as Justine's fragile mental state unravels is powerful, particularly alongside Jim William's incredible original score which employs striking strings, melancholy piano and the biblical overtones of organ music. Raw has that je ne sais quoi that many films try to find, but the French seem to excel at – it's moody, dark, and brims with warped sensuality. You don't have to be an adolescent cannibal to see yourself in Ducornau's story, and in fact, there's so much more at play than body horror.
When it debuted at Toronto International Film Festival in 2016, emergency medical treatment was required for several audience members who were shocked by the film's disturbing graphicness. There's no escaping the fact that Raw is exceptionally brutal, but never gratuitous, and although it has been defined by default as a horror film this seems incredibly limiting and will undoubtedly put some viewers off watching it. That's a great shame since there's so much more to the story than the gore that's made the headlines. In particular, it's refreshing to see a film within the subgenre in which women are not victims but aggressors, and in which the primary relationship is one between two sisters attempting to come to terms with their fate. Raw is fearless and unapologetic, grabbing you by the neck and refusing to let go.
Surely destined for cult classic status, it's an exercise in cinematic boldness, beguiling to behold and a film that will take multiple viewings to digest.

George V Child's Tea Set and Lots More
The beads and more hard to find threads I bought from Lucy at www.threadedneedle.com.au who has been a great help. I still have 3 lots of beads on order
9 comments:
I particularly like the tea set and the dolls' house papers. The dolls' house looks very regal, maybe a palace not a house. You are good to have started your 2014 challenge early. I haven't even decided what my challenge is or if I will have one. Also pleased to read that you are not fighting with Charlotte but have agreed to share.ReplyDelete

This project was started in 2005 when various social workers asked Mosamaria to give very needy children ongoing support.
Mosamaria works with about OVC in 7 different Support Groups in Botshabelo and Mangaung. They are children from 5 -18 years old, who have lost either one or both parents, and children living in extreme poverty who have been made vulnerable because they are either infected with HIV or live in conditions of need because they have been affected by HIV
OVC Services
Our project manager, Kelebogile Ditema works with 8 Trained Child Care Workers have weekly Support Group meetings with all the children to teach them essential life skills with resilience programmes like Khazimula, Aunty Stella and Crossroads; do regular home visits to assess the children's living conditions, and render family support services like homestead vegetable food gardens, egg production, Voluntary Saving and Lending Groups and Income Generating Activities and homestead bakeries.
Services provided to children by Mosamaria's OVC Programme are:
Access to food and food security after an assessment by the OVC Project Manager, which includes: Food parcels; a peanut butter sandwich, fruit and cup of juice at weekly Support Group meetings
General healthcare education and HIV prevention, ART for children, sexual and reproductive health education, basic hygiene.
Child protection – educating children and their families about Children's Rights and Responsibilities, preventing children from being in abusive and exploitative situations, and having them removed by social workers where necessary, facilitation of child identity documents and birth certificates.
General Educational Support – supervising homework, facilitating school fee exemption, providing school uniforms where needed, identifying learning difficulties, and monitoring educational progress. We have 6 READ box libraries so that children can learn to read and write proficiently and begin to value books.
Psychosocial Support like helping the children to make memory boxes and deal with bereavement, and keeping up traditional songs and dances and developing cultural talents, assisting children to draw their own family trees, encouraging the children to express their emotions and learn important values in life, through creating their own dramatic sketches.
We have recently started Mini Cricket for our children with the kind support of the Free State Cricket Union. We should like to introduce more sporting activities to keep children off the streets.
Current Situation
At present we work with 400 orphans and vulnerable children in 7 Support Groups in Mangaung and Botshabelo. Our 7 Childcare Workers meet them once a week where they spend time learning skills like resilience training, Aunty Stella agony column discussions and HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health education.
We also work with the families of these children and we have 100 families who produce their own fresh vegetables in homestead trench vegetable gardens. We are currently experiencing the worst drought in 105 years and the municipal water supply has dried up.
The municipality has imposed very stringent water restrictions on everyone so it is difficult to plant vegetables at the moment. However our intrepid gardeners have planted vegetables for the winter months as they say they are dependent on this source of food.
The 10 JoJo water storage tanks which were donated to us by the Rand Water Board in 2013, have made a huge difference to those who were able to store water. It would be absolutely wonderful if we could have more of these water storage tanks donated to our families.

Today I've been browsing Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge, I visited the brand new Beauty Mart concession and browsed the food hall. Beauty Mart was interesting, but it was the food hall that really got me excited and inspired this time.
This month I've been enjoying the Food Network and one of my fave shows, Ace of Cakes. Ace of Cakes is a fab documentary showing what goes on behind the scenes of super cool Baltimore based cake bakery, Charm City Cakes. I love the team at Charm City Cakes, they are all best friends and super geeky and fun. I want to work there.
Whilst in the foodhall I was pleased to see that head chef and owner of Charm City Cakes, Duff Goldman has brought out his own range.
The range which is available in Harvey Nichols Food Hall features two cake mix sets: a Confetti Cake Mix and a Cake Pop Set. All the packs feature head chef, Duff looking super cool and a graffiti style logo, I love it, it make baking appeal to a different audience and reflects the Charm City Bakery brand perfectly.
There's also two types of pre made icing in the range in a range of fun, bright colours. The packaging is also super cool. You can pick up writing icing….
…and a pack of chunkier icing which I imagine would be suitable for topping cupcakes or cakes, I love the pack too, looks like you could easily pipe straight from the bag.
I love this range, I would love to give them a good and see if the quality lives up to the branding and design.
Do you watch Charm City Cakes?

The front entry to our house has a big landing space by the front door. It's not big enough for patio furniture. But any pot of plants we have put there have always looked dwarfed by the space. I finally decided what it needed was a big planter, with some vertical interest. After thinking about it a bit, I came up with this.
It's 4' x 2', and the hanging planter pole is 6' tall, which nicely fills the space it occupies.
The cat in the third picture is my garage companion. She likes to hang out with me when I'm working on projects, and is completely undisturbed by the dust collector, air compressor, and table saw. Of course, she feels she has to inspect every project I work on.

Roast Beef with Red Wine Mushroom Gravy
I was in Toronto last week to visit some friends. While there I visited the famous St. Lawrence Market, where I bought a jar of deliciously potent Horseradish Mustard from Kozlik's Canadian Mustard. For three days I have been craving this mustard slathered over a juicy slice of roast beef. Incidentally, if you are interested in trying Kozlik's, they are sold at several stores in the Lower Mainland, including Thrifty Foods in Coquitlam!
Recipe adapted from the Canadian Beef Producers website.
Roast Beef
2-4 lb beef oven roast (I used an inside round roast)
6 cloves of garlic, cut into thin slivers (about 3 slices per clove)
course salt and fresh cracked pepper
beef & steak seasoning rub (optional)
1. Remove roast from refrigerator 1-2 hours before cooking to bring to room temperature. (A room temperature roast will brown better!)
2. Cut shallow slits all over roast and insert garlic slivers into slits. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Rub with beef & steak seasoning rub if desired.
3. Place roast, fatty side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into centre of the roast. Cook, uncovered at 450°F for 10 minutes, turning once. Reduce heat to 275°F and cook until thermometer reads 140°F for medium-rare to medium. For a small to medium roast this could take 1-1/4 to 2-1/4 hours. For a larger roast this could take 2-1/4 to 3 hours. Cooking times are estimates only and vary oven to oven. Different roast types and shape can also affect cooking times. Check the chart below for a guideline and be sure to check on your roast after 1 hour and ever 15 - 30 minutes thereafter. My 2.12 pound roast took 1 hour and 25 minutes reach 140°F internal temperature and it was cooked perfectly medium-rare. It would be even easier if you have a digital thermometer where you can set the desired temperature and it will notify you when that temperature is reached. Unfortunately, I don't have one of those!
4. When desired temperature is reached, remove roast from oven and cover loosely with foil. Let stand for 15-20 minutes before removing to a cutting board for slicing.
Red Wine Mushroom Gravy
3 tablespoons pan drippings from roasting pan
2 teaspoons butter
4 large white mushrooms, sliced
1 cup beef broth
1 cup red wine
2 teaspoons fresh cracked mixed peppercorns
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with a splash or two of water.
1. Pour 3 tablespoons of drippings from the roasting pan into a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat. Add butter and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms have browned and sauce reduced by half.
2. Add broth, wine and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Let simmer until mixture has reduced slightly, about 10 minutes.
3. Add cornstarch to pan and whisk continually until gravy has thickened. Pour over steak and mashed potatoes!

We are fortunate to have a first hand account of the Big Wind, written in her dairy by my 3x great aunt Charlotte Keane. Charlotte lived a privileged life as a member of the landed gentry class. Her family home, Beech Park, near Ennis in county Clare is a ruin now, but would have been a grand home back in 1839. Hugh Weir, in his book "The Houses of Clare", describes Beech Park as a 2-storey building of 3 bays, situated on 17 acres of tree-scattered parkland.
There is a picture of Beechpark in better times in the Clare Library Foto collection.
At the time this event occurred, Charlotte's father, Robert Keane, was an invalid and confined to bed. She describes his concern for those exposed to the storm at sea, and his fear that the house would lose its roof. Robert Keane passed away 4 months after this, in May 1839. Charlotte's brother, Giles, was an Army Colonel serving in India. He died in 1867.
Here is Charlotte's account:
From the diary of Charlotte Keane
6th January 1839
Sunday, wet day. No reading after Mamma had prayers, settling news paper, an unprofitable and not happy Sabbath. After tea, the rain we had all day ended in a high storm, and at 11 it blew indeed what the sailors call – a whole gale of wind, and at 12 a terrific storm which continued without 10 minutes cessation until 5 in the morning. It would be useless to attempt description of that awful night outside doors. But the roar of the wind in the chimney in the Parlour at 11 p.m, when Mamma left the room, frightened me so that I could not remain alone. Robert, fortunately being in the house, every means was tried to keep the house safe, and while he and I were going from window to window, dear Pappa was sitting up in bed, and constantly praying aloud for the poor creatures on the sea. Bob and I being the only two at home, we had enough to do that night, the huge mattress of the front room bed he put in the Lobby window, and settled Mary Duggan and Biddy supporting it with long sweeping-brushes, but snug enough, they sat on the stairs. But no human being could be snug that night, that heard it, and felt it, as we did at Beech Park.
The bed stead of the middle room was put up to the window, and the feather bed pressing between it and the shutters, but the girls room was the point of fury, I might say the severest, being the south-west point, and from 12 until near 4 it blew against that side of the house. So violent was the storm, and fast the slates flying through the yard, that Robert could not venture across the yard to call up John Conole who slept in the laundry, though he twice attempted to do so, and help would have been valuable. Fortunately Joe Armatage made his way over from Coor for something to preserve Mr. Henry's ricks of hay that was disappearing fast, and I told him to come up to Pappa, and when upstairs indeed we had little thought of telling him to go down again. Pappa's getting a fright by the blowing in of a window was now the chief thing to be apprehended, and guarded against. And it so happened that an hour after our help came, the glass in the girl's window was broke, and in burst the shutters, sending the battons through the room like pins. Robert immediately broke open Jane's press, emptied its contents on the bed, and putting it slanting towards the window, with the feather bed on top to make it heavy, left Joe leaning against it, and wonderful to say, if he attempted to take his weight off the press it was immediately pushed straight up with the immense storm coming through one broken pane. What could we have done if he had not come in? Pappa said several times if one of the windows were blown in, the roof of the house would come off like a plate.
Oh, it was a terrific night, how little I knew of the power of the air, or what a storm was until that 6th of January. At 4 o'clock it backed round to the north, and there blew for one hour with unabated violence, straw and hay were peeling in under the back door and carried up through the house.
But at quarter to 5 it began to subside, though still blowing as it did until 8 o'clock. I went down at near 6 to prepare tea and coffee for the poor servants, and everyone, and lay on the small sofa by the parlour fire, --fatigued, and the one candle just out, when there came such a sudden gust and mournful wind through the room, that I became unhappy, and felt certain that at that moment some friend or friends were going into Eternity. The clock struck 6 and the melancholy strike spoke to my heart. I came up and Pappa made me lie on their bed, and pretend to sleep, but when I thought they were asleep, I stole away into my own room, and as Armatage could leave the window since 5 and was only at the fire, I said he might go away entirely and I went into my bed, -- It was just 7 o'clock, but I had not lain down ten minutes, when I suppose the opening of the back door caused such a rush of wind through the house, for such a gust passed through my room and barred-up windows as I thought would send press, bed and all about the room, and oh, the piercing wind that whistled through the keyhole, I jumped up greatly frightened and pulled the bell, begging of them to send the man back again to stay till clear day, and until I saw him sitting snug by the fire, I could not compose myself to sleep.
And then when we all got up at 10 the melancholy look the whole house had, everything out of its place, the staircase covered with straw, however it came there, all the windows blocked up in such a manner, and we left them so for another forty-eight hours. John McGrath came out the next day and told us all the mischief done in Ennis, but happily it was not as much as might be expected. The oldest inhabitants in the town of 70 and 90 years of age never remembered such a storm, lasting for six hours before it lessened in the slightest degree. The old tree near Charley O'Connell's house, Arthurs Row, was taken up from the roots, I suppose some hundred years old, and had stood out many and many a storm. 5 of the largest trees in Beech Park were torn up out of the ground. But what I saw when Pappa and I went to Buncraggy a day or two after surprised me most. Mr Jones took us into the garden and along one side of the grass walk were 5 trees torn up by the roots, and all lying the same way, one after another, as if the same terrific blast laid everything before it that moment dead, and the two apple trees near each other also in another part of the garden torn up. The appearance these 5 trees had -- lying so straight – almost like dead men on a field of battle, they said before a cannon shot.
Until that night I never thought a storm on land was to be dreaded, when in a well-built strong house, and that Beech Park is, but the situation that night was worse than any town house, being built on rather high ground, and so little shelter from the trees in the west. It was a night to be remembered, in which was seen the weakness of man, and man's power, when the Lord himself chooses to speak and to act.
And now I will tell how they felt it in Dublin. Maria was on a visit with Mrs. Griffin in Baggot street, at 11 o'clock finding the storm so high they determined to remain up. After some hours they brought down the feather beds to the drawing room, and settled themselves to rest as well as they could, while the wind howled through the streets, and the slates were flying in every direction. Maria fell fast asleep, and in her sleep dreamed the Bishop of (? ) came to her bedside, and told her her brother Giles was at sea in that dreadful storm.

Sven Laurent - photography
Structures of ephemeral existence
November light in Venice
The B-Gallery exhibition
This uncertain moment of truth
/// Structures of ephemeral existence
With images showing everyday life, objects of our close environment and some subtle portraits, Brussels based photographer, Sven Laurent is exploring the questions of space, time and existence, revealing the unconventional beauty of our close environment.
« I don't look for the exotic or the spectacular. I'm looking for what others wouldn't notice and certainly not photograph. Then I try to make it attractive by composing a clean frame, organizing elements according to light, color, shapes and perspective. Making the ordinary look extraordinary in order to escape from the oppressive daily routines. »
The spatial organisation of the masses in his frames reveal either the sculptural or the immersive qualities of the photographed subjects, transcending the traditional perception of presence and materiality in contemporary photography.
The following images are a selection of a larger, ongoing, body of work.
Being obsessed with the question of space occupation, print sizes are defined according to exhibition spaces.

I use jot2tweet app to upload to twitter and then is forwarded to FB. one recent upload showed mergetags?
another just after showed up fine. I have uploaded a screen shot
andy ideas what happened or why?
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on May 01, 2014 at 06:31 PM
Hi Lance,
I am not sure yet what had happened for that to happen on your end. But I just tested the Jot2Tweet app again just now, and it does well.
My test form http://form.jotform.me/form/41206534693454?
integration screen
Tweet result
You may also want to redo the integration.
Remove the current integration and just run again the configuration http://apps.jotform.com/app/jot2tweet to reconnect your form to Twitter.
Please inform us if it persist and happens already on more than one occassion so that we can investigate. We will alert the developer also so that it can fixed immediately if there is a problem.
- CheapAliceAnswered on May 06, 2014 at 03:25 PM
I did not remove the integration as it was showing well for most and only happened the once. It has just happened again so I will attempt to redo the integration but wanted to advise that it still happens.
Please advise if there is any fix I can do.
- JotForm SupportMike_TAnswered on May 06, 2014 at 04:43 PM
It is not likely that you can do anything other than re-integration to fix this.
If re-integration does not help, please let us know. In such case we will be able to escalate the issue to the developer of that App.
Thank you.
- CheapAliceAnswered on May 07, 2014 at 04:46 PM
Sorry but re-integration did not fix the issue and merge tags still show occasionally as shown in above photo. I may have some insight into the reason but just a guess. It seems that this may happen when the Jot2Tweet is uploading a form that has an image attached to it that has special characters in the title. Although the image is not part of the information that i am including in my merge tags. Just the fact that it was included on the form. I also have submissions view app on form and photo does not upload when it has the special characters and it seems to be these same customers whos info shows up as merge tags on twitter. Hope this makes sense.
- JotForm SupportEltonCrisAnswered on May 07, 2014 at 06:33 PM
Thanks for providing more details. I was able to reproduce the problem, though mine is a little different. Every time a file is uploaded, the submission will not forward on Twitter. Let me submit this to our developers so they can go with the further investigation.
Thanks and apologies for any inconveniences caused.
- JotForm SupportNeilVicenteAnswered on May 08, 2014 at 07:19 PM
Can you please show us screenshots of tweets where the issue have recurred (aside from the first photo)?
Kindly include the tweets before and after so that we can identify with which submission the problem has occurred. Hopefully, we may be able to recreate the issue by resubmitting the form using the data from the identified submissions.
- CheapAliceAnswered on May 08, 2014 at 07:55 PM
I have deleted from my twitter but may be able to get from a follower. Not sure you will be able to recreate as I have also changed the data which i believe was the cause (badly named photos). As i mentioned I also use submission view app to upload to my site. So when customers upload an image with a bad file name it does not show up. I contact them to advise why so that they correct by uploading a proper image file. I will see about getting you screen shot.
- CheapAliceAnswered on May 13, 2014 at 12:23 PM
hello. OK just happened again. here is the twitter page.
I don't know how to upload a screenshot to this reply (there was a button when i started this post)
Please help...my cusotmers need this feature.
Thank You.
- JotForm SupportTitusNAnswered on May 13, 2014 at 03:04 PM
I see what you mean:
I have updated the ticket to our developers of this new development, and will advice.
Thank you for your patience.
- CheapAliceAnswered on May 13, 2014 at 05:10 PM
For the record, the entry just above the one highleted in pink with the problem is what it was supposed to say. I just tweeted it form twitter.
After that there has been a few more entries and all have come out just fine.
Just every once in a while one shows up showing merge tags. (not sure if it is an issue with bad images as thought before because the image was correct on this particular upload and showed up just fine)
Thanks for any insight.
- JotForm SupportEltonCrisAnswered on May 13, 2014 at 07:18 PM
Thanks for your cooperation and for adding more details. There is no update as of the moment but we will surely inform you here once this is fixed.
- CheapAliceAnswered on May 14, 2014 at 07:50 AM
FYI first submission this morning is showing merge tags:
- jedcadornaAnswered on May 14, 2014 at 10:22 AM
Are you referring to this?
You'll be informed via this thread if any update is available.
- JotForm SupportNeilVicenteAnswered on May 19, 2014 at 11:18 PM
We were having a hard time trying to recreate the issue on our end, but I have made some changes to the code which I believe is causing the problem.
Please do let us know if the problem occurs again.
- CheapAliceAnswered on May 20, 2014 at 12:00 AM
Thank you for all of the support and hard work you and all at Jotform are doing. I will advise and update.
Thanks again.
- CheapAliceAnswered on June 02, 2014 at 12:51 PM
Hi NeilVicente,
Well it just happened again about 15 minutes ago.
Why it happens with some entries and not others of the same form is a mystery.
Let me know what info I can get you to help.
- JotForm SupportMike_TAnswered on June 02, 2014 at 02:52 PM
Thank you for update. We will let you know when we have any news on this issue.

As I said yesterday there is so much happening right now. It's already the fourth of the month and this is the first chance I have had to tell you about the new Gecko Galz customer challenge – Vintage Ladies.
Here's my card:
I saw this idea in an edition of Craft Stamper magazine and thought it would be perfect for some of this month's new releases from the Gecko Galz.
I printed out the image, from the Vintage Ladies digital stamp set, first onto cardstock and then a second copy onto regular paper. I roughly cut out the paper image to create a mask which I put over the image on the card before stamping splodges using Broken China and Worn Lipstick distress inks.
I used papers from the Parisian Dreams paper pack and tore off strips which I layered below the image, adding in a couple of scraps of lace.
To top it all off I added some Ideaology Chit Chat stickers.
Thanks for buzzing by.

Former Leyland school boy and Preston North End player Clarke Carlisle is facing court action over an alleged drink driving offence, after being charged just days before he was seriously injured in a collision with a lorry.
The 35-year-old former Balshaw's CE High School pupil, who was a defender for PNE, Burnley and QPR, was seriously injured following the collision on the A64, near York, on December 22 and remains in a Leeds hospital.
The Metropolitan Police have confirmed he was charged with failing to provide a sample on December 20 and is set to appear in court next month.
A statement from the Metropolitan Police said: "Clarke Carlisle, 35, was charged on Saturday, December 20 with failing to provide a specimen and driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence.
"He is due to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on January 20, 2015."
North Yorkshire Police launched an investigation into the circumstances of the incident and appealed for witnesses.
Since the collision, a host of footballers, former clubs, organisations and charities have used social media to send messages hoping former Professional Footballers' Association chairman Carlisle makes a quick recovery.
His wife Gemma thanked well-wishers on Twitter on Monday.
She said: "Clarke still very poorly but we're hopeful he'll make a full recovery."

A Spanish gaming magazine has published an in-depth look at Rockstar's upcoming Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, which will apparently make use of nearly the entire Grand Theft Auto IV map.
Contrary to the assumption that Chinatown Wars would be confined to the Chinatown district, the magazine article claims that the Liberty City boroughs of Dukes, Bohan, Broker and Algonquin will all appear in the DS version of Grand Theft Auto, with only the GTA IV location of Alderney left out. The game will feature a GPS-style map that will direct players along the quickest legal route between points and also track new discoveries like gas stations and other landmarks.
The split-screen display will feature in-game action on the upper screen, while the lower screen will provide the GPS, PDA, radio and other game controls. And as reported earlier, the game will feature a controversial drug-dealing component, similar to the old Dope Wars games, which is described as "a good way to make money in the game." One more unique feature: Gamers can hail taxis to move around in the city by whistling into the DS microphone.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is still a few months away from release - it's scheduled to come out in spring 2009 - but I think it's safe to say the game is going to draw considerable attention, and criticism, as it nears launch. Grand Theft Auto is one of the most notorious "mature" videogame franchises on the market, while the DS is widely considered first and foremost a kids' gaming system. Putting the two together with an economic simulation based on cornering the narcotics market? Yeah, that's going to raise some eyebrows.

Tom Hardy is a very dangerous man to know in trailer for FX's Taboo
One of the beauties of seeing a project develop with Tom Hardy in the fold is that you know you're never going to see the same thing twice. As an actor who insists on challenging himself in new ways with each role he takes on, there is always something fresh, something intriguing, something different to glean from each of his performances. They may not all be great, but at least you can rest on the fact that he never goes back to the well... and for that, he gives you a reason to see what he may do next.
TABOO is right in that vein, with Hardy venturing to the small screen for the eight-episode FX event series that has him returning from the dead in a number of ways to deal with nefarious members of society at work.
TABOO follows James Keziah Delaney, a man who has been to the ends of the earth and come back irrevocably changed. Believed to be long dead, he returns home to London from Africa in 1814 to inherit what is left of his father's shipping empire and rebuild a life for himself. But when his father's legacy is revealed to be a poisoned chalice and enemies lurk in every dark corner, James must navigate increasingly complex territories to avoid his own death sentence. Encircled by conspiracy, murder, and betrayal – a dark family mystery unfolds in an explosively colourful tale of love and treachery.
From FX's first trailer for the program, Hardy once again looks to be giving us something we haven't seen from him yet before in a show that I gauge will have a number of layers for us to peel back along the way as we get to the root of what is really taking place in this slice of 19th Century London. And when you're reminded that Ridley Scott is also involved, that sort of makes this one you're going to have to make it a point to see, at least right out of the gate.

Good Action on Sarasota Bay Flats and Snook at Night
Anglers fishing with me on my Action Craft flats skiff the Snook Fin-Addict, out of CBs Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key, caught and released trout, silver trout, Spanish mackerel, blues, pompano and flounder in Sarasota Bay and snook and trout in the ICW near Venice at night on lures and flies during the past couple of weeks.
**** Reece, from Dayton, OH, and Keith McClintock, from Lake Forest, IL, fished Sarasota Bay with me on Monday, 2/25. It was a windy day, but we found some protection along the west side of the bay. They had good action catching trout to 18, including 7 or 8 in the slot, and several blues to 3-pounds drifting deep grass flats near Bishop Point on CAL jigs with shad tails. A front passed through on Tuesday, 2/26, and with the wind gusting to more than 25-mph that morning, we decided to reschedule.
Linda Foy, from Twin Bridges, MT, fished Sarasota Bay with me on Wednesday, 2/27. We fished the west side of the bay near Bishop Point. We caught and released 4 or 5 Spanish mackerel and several blues and trout on Ultra Hair Clouser flies fished on sink tip fly lines.
Anna Maria Island and Sarasota winter residents, Bill Morrison and Gary Marple, fished Sarasota Bay with me on Thursday, 2/28. Action was a slower than Wednesday, but they caught and released trout and a Spanish mackerel on Ultra Hair Clouser flies on deep grass at the Middleground flat and near Bishop Point..
Fly anglers Nick Reding, from Longboat Key, FL, and Tony Merlis, from NH, fished Sarasota Bay with me on Friday, 3/1. We had a brisk northwest wind and very little sun as another front moved through. We waded a sand bar and I poled several shallow flats on the east side of the bay. Despite tough conditions they caught and released a few trout and a nice flounder on Clouser and my Grassett Flats Minnow fly.
I spoke on Saltwater Fly Fishing and helped my friends at the DOA Fishing Lures booth at the News Channel 8 Outdoors Expo & Boat Show (formerly the Frank Sargeant Outdoors Expo & Boat Show) on Saturday, 3/2. Retailers, manufacturers and fishing and hunting experts shared their knowledge and showcased new products at one of the biggest annual outdoor shows in the southeast. DOAs hot new bait, the Airhead, has a wide profile and an enticing wiggle that is sure to drive fish crazy!
Martin Marlowe, from NY, fished Sarasota Bay with me on Monday, 3/4. He had steady action with trout to 18, including several in the slot, near Long Bar on Ultra Hair Clouser flies fished on a sink tip fly line. I threw the new DOA Airhead bait for a while over deep grass and caught and released several nice trout on it.
Anna Maria Island and Sarasota winter residents, Bill Morrison and Gary Marple, fished Sarasota Bay with me on Tuesday morning, 3/5. We fished an area of deep water with a mud bottom, which will often hold fish in winter, and caught several silver trout and a flounder on Ultra Hair Clouser flies and a CAL jig with a shad tail. They also had good action with spotted sea trout over deep grass near Long Bar also on Ultra Hair Clouser flies. Tony Merlis, from NH, and his daughter, Jennifer, from MD, fished the same areas with me that afternoon. They also caught and released trout and several nice Spanish mackerel
on Ultra Hair Clouser flies.
A front blew through on Wednesday morning, 3/6, and with wind at 20 mph before our start time, that fly fishing trip was canceled. Mike Perez, from Sarasota, FL, fished Sarasota Bay with me on a blustery day on Thursday afternoon, 3/7. Following Wednesdays front it was sunny, but cool and windy. However, he had steady action with trout, Spanish mackerel, blues and a pompano on Clouser flies and CAL jigs with shad tails near Long Bar.
Bruce Marlowe, from RI, got out of the northeast just ahead of the latest snow storm just in time to snook fish with his dad, Martin Marlowe from NY, and me on Friday evening, 3/8. We fished lighted docks in the ICW from Little Sarasota Bay to the Venice Inlet. They had steady action catching and releasing more than a dozen snook to 25 and several trout on my Grassett Snook Minnow fly.
With a new moon on Monday, tides will be good all of next week. Since water temperatures have dropped sharply following a couple of strong fronts recently, afternoons may fish better than mornings. You should find trout, Spanish mackerel, blues, pompano and more on deep grass flats of Sarasota Bay. You may also find blues and Spanish mackerel in passes when the tide is moving. Look for reds around docks, in potholes and on the edges of bars when the tide is low or on shallow flats on sunny afternoons when the tide is high.

"If you're waiting for a miracle, it's not going to happen." These are the words that we heard from the doctor as she was reviewing everything that was wrong with our unborn baby. And she said these words to us to try to convince us to terminate our pregnancy because a team of doctors concluded that there was no hope that our daughter would live.
Do you believe in miracles?
We all believe in the miracles that Jesus performed while He was on Earth. We believe that He healed the sick and raised Lazarus from the dead and turned water into wine. But, do you believe that God still performs miracles today?
Let me answer that question simply for you: He does. And, I know that He does because I have a miracle who turned 3 years old Friday. If you do not know Isabella's Story, then please read about it under About Us. In it, you will read of the miracle that God performed in my life three years ago. You will see that the miracle that we were cautioned not to wait for, did actually happen. And you will read about the moment that changed my life and started this journey after the miracle.
Miracles happen. They don't happen in every situation, but they do still happen. And, God performs miracles today for the very same reason that He performed miracles 2000 years ago: to demonstrate His power and so that you might believe in Him. It is exactly when a situation seems hopeless, that you can see very powerfully the hand of God at work. And, when He does work in your situation that seems hopeless, then there is no doubt that God exists and that He is all powerful over all of creation.
I urge you to believe in miracles today. Believe that God still performs supernatural feats to show us that He exists and that He is all powerful. Also, I urge you to make decisions in your life that give God the opportunity to reveal Himself. We never know if God will choose to reveal Himself through a miracle, but we need to give Him the opportunity to work miraculously in our situations if He chooses to. Because, when He does reveal Himself in a situation that seems hopeless, it is simply spectacular and there is no doubt that God exists and that He is all powerful and sovereign over everything.
Believe in Miracles today. Believe in God's power and sovereignty. Believe.
"Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."
~John 20:30-31

Bergdahl Disappearance Faces Probe by Army
(CN) – A two-star general has begun investigating Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's disappearance and capture by the Taliban-linked Haqqani network five years ago, the Army announced.
Bergdahl had fallen into Taliban hands shortly after leaving his combat outpost in the Paktika province on June 30, 2009.
The Pentagon announced on May 31 that it had freed Bergdahl, the last U.S. prisoner of war in Afghanistan, by trading him for five Taliban members being held indefinitely at Guantanamo Bay.
Guantanamo's chief prosecutor Brig. Gen. Mark Martins told reporters at a Sunday press conference that he reviewed all of cases against these five men, and none of them could have been prosecuted, the Miami Herald reported.
Congressional Republicans opposing the closure of the military prison camp in Cuba have nonetheless criticized the swap. Sen. John McCain told CNN, without evidence, that the White House had traded Bergdahl for "hard-core military jihadists who are responsible for 9/11."
Republican strategists meanwhile arranged interviews with members of Bergdahl's unit who would attack their former comrade as a deserter, The New York Times revealed earlier this month.
The Pentagon announced Monday that Maj. Gen. Kenneth Dahl, an Army officer with Afghanistan combat experience, would examine why Bergdahl left his post. It has not yet identified a general who would decide whether Bergdahl should face disciplinary action.
In announcing the appointment, the Pentagon said: "These types of investigations are not uncommon and serve to establish the facts on the ground following an incident."
Eugene Fidell, who teaches military justice at Yale Law School, said in an email that tapping a two-star general for such a probe "strikes me as overkill."
"It's probably a reflection of the politically charged atmosphere in which this case finds itself, but a lieutenant colonel or colonel would have been more than enough horsepower in my opinion," Fidell wrote. "It's hardly the world's most complicated or challenging set of facts."
A 2012 profile for Rolling Stone by late investigative reporter Michael Hastings documented Bergdahl's growing disillusionment with his mission in Afghanistan and featured the sergeant's last email to his parents.
"The future is too good to waste on lies," Bergdahl wrote, according to the article. "And life is way too short to care for the damnation of others, as well as to spend it helping fools with their ideas that are wrong."
In the June 27, 2009, email, Bergdahl made a reference to witnessing U.S. soldiers run over Afghan child with armored truck, an incident that Hastings said his parents believed to be a "formative, possibly traumatic event."
The sergeant left his post three days later in the early morning with only water, a knife, a digital camera, and his diary, and would become the U.S.'s only prisoner of war for nearly five years, the article stated.
Since Bergdahl's release, reporters have mined WikiLeaks-released diplomatic cables from the time and interviewed members of his unit. Anonymous government officials told multiple news outlets that a classified investigation indicated that Bergdahl wandered off base before but had returned.
During his investigation, Gen. Dahl will access "previously gathered documentary evidence, including the 2009 investigation," the Pentagon said.
Fidell, the military law expert, said that the official who makes the final disposition decision would have "very broad discretion" and likely assess whether Bergdahl intended to "remain away permanently" or thought he had "misbehave[d] in captivity."
Reports that Bergdahl tried multiple times to escape his captors and suffered years of solitary confinement could also factor into that decision, Fidell said
While in Taliban custody last year, Bergdahl wrote a letter to his family explaining his decision to leave by stating: "Leadership was lacking, if not non-existent" in his unit, the Daily Beast reported.
But Fidell said: "Poor leadership in his unit would not get traction as either a justification or matter in extenuation."
The Pentagon said Dahl will not interview Bergdahl until the "reintegration team" caring for him at the San Antonio Military Medical Center allows it.
"The Army's top priority remains Sgt. Bergdahl's health and reintegration," it stated.

CART's Green to Enter IRL Indy 500
Team owner Barry Green, a regular in the CART series, will enter cars for Paul Tracy and Dario Franchitti in the rival Indy Racing League's Indianapolis 500.
Michael Andretti, third last year in his first race at Indianapolis since the CART-IRL split in 1996, also is expected to drive in the May 26 race.
Team Green won the Indy 500 in 1995 with Jacques Villeneuve but did not compete at Indianapolis the next five years. Last year, as several CART teams continued to cross over to the rival series' premier event, Green formed a separate team for Andretti's one-race IRL effort.
Andretti was third in the CART standings last season behind de Gil de Ferran and Kenny Brack, a former Indy winner who is switching from Team Rahal to Chip Ganassi Racing. Ganassi was among the first CART owners to return to Indianapolis and won the 500 two years ago with Juan Montoya.
Rahal also plans to race at Indy this year with driver Jimmy Vasser. Tracy's best finish in four previous starts at Indianapolis was 20th as a rookie in 1992.
"It'll be great to get back to the Indy 500," Tracy said. "I've never had much luck there, but I plan on doing everything I can to change that this time."
Franchitti, who was seventh in the CART series last year, will be considered a rookie at Indianapolis.

Trip to the Georgia AquariumRead Now
Our middle daughter wanted to go to the Georgia Aquarium to see all the animals she knew were there because of her own interest-led research of finding out they had Beluga whales, whale sharks and dolphins there. So we decided that instead of a big birthday party, we would go on a trip down to the Georgia Aquarium! It was just Mom and me time together thanks to our new learning style we are learning to adapt into our flow with our family, the BraveWriter lifestyle, and her and I enjoyed a very nice drive there and back as well as at the aquarium trip as well. Our relationship has grown stronger from this one trip alone and captured moments that we will both cherish forever.
We loved this aquarium so much! They had great shows we were able to see included in the price of the ticket. They do not let you video tape or take pictures during these however for obvious reasons. We saw the dolpins show, seals and sea lions show.
The tunnel you go under of the giant aquarium area was amazing! I think that was my favorite part personally, the whale sharks and other animals are so majestic and seems so peaceful to see them swimming. I think we both will cherish this experience forever. We are so grateful for a supportive family in letting us go on this trip together. My husband has always been my strength in everything I do.
My daughter's favorite was everything! She loved it all and couldn't decide on just one, and to think it just started with wanting to see whale sharks and we both experienced whale sharks and more!
And for myself, I really enjoyed the Atlanta buildings on the way in as I love architecture!

Marginalization in One Easy Sticker
To the Portland woman who drives around with an "Abortion Is Mean" bumper sticker:
Go you! With one fell phrase, you have, however weakly, absolved yourself of any supposed partiality towards abortion and completely trivialized the scope of an unnatural act of cruelty. You pair that up with that other sticker that says "Mean People Suck," and you've got yourself a statement.

It is a little bit unusual (recently) for me to weave a picturesque tapestry. Although the cartoon behind the warp is somewhat realistic, I am not weaving a detailed picture ... I want to finish with a simple and somewhat rough tapestry... after all, it is an old time image (1981). It represents me breast-feeding my daughter Weronika and the tapestry is supposed to be a wedding gift for her. She was married in December 2008. The cartoon was ready two years ago when she was engaged, but due to my allergies I had a hard time to begin. Now I am finally weaving it slowly, wearing a mask on my face and inhaling many antihistamine puffs...

Nayati UK operations director Mark Reid advises distributors that when specifying Asian cuisine cooking equipment they should look to a sector specialist:
At the speed that Asian cooking processes are carried out, distributors need to ensure they are specifying a powerful and efficient appliance to meet the demands.
End users operating within the Asian marketplace require cooking equipment that has been expertly designed and manufactured to meet their specific needs, from a manufacturer that knows exactly what is required in a successful Asian kitchen.
With the manufacturing plant based in the heart of Asia, Nayati's journey towards excellence has taken over 30 years of continuous development, from a simple stainless steel workshop to an international kitchen equipment brand.
Our determination, ambitious innovation and relentless pursuit of craftsmanship excellence have positioned Nayati where it is today, delivering premium kitchen solutions to chefs all over the world.
For distributors and consultants looking to specify Asian equipment, it is vital that they work closely with the manufacturer and customer to ensure that the equipment suits the kitchen operation.
Distributors should be searching for quality equipment that has been built to withstand the speed and intensity of the operation, to ensure that the end user is able to provide authentic and quality Asian food to its customers.
From our experience, only CE-approved cooking equipment is suitable for the UK and European marketplace. Our Asian cooking range has been developed within the Asian marketplace for three decades and we have worked very closely with many respected Asian chefs throughout East Asia, allowing us understand exactly is required in successful East Asian kitchens.
Whilst the wok is at the centre of an Asian kitchen, there are now many other pieces of cooking equipment that are needed to complement the full set up of this type of kitchen.
The Asian cooking process is carried out at high speed and for this operation, very powerful and efficient appliances are needed to run at high temperatures to produce high quality food.
Nayati's vast experience of Asian cooking equipment has helped us deliver a full range of CE-approved cooking equipment suitable for the UK and European marketplace.
We have already worked with some of our partners in the UK to deliver some fantastic Asian kitchens; we feel this has been achieved with great collaboration between all stakeholders working together.
Nayati is more than happy to support trading partners with advice and training to help deliver a great solution to their customers' kitchen. We have great confidence in our products and know these will complement Asian kitchens.
Nayati would be delighted to see distributors and consultants at our premises in Hull where we hold a full range of Asian products. Here, we will be able to answer any questions they may have in regards to specifying Asian equipment.
The Nayati full range of equipment can be seen on our website, where distributors can view our collection of Asian equipment which includes teppanyaki and yakitori grills, turbo and induction woks, Chinese cooking blocks, dim sum steamers and deck steamers and duck roasters.

I have decided to start the week off with a hot idea. Today's Bird-A-Day art was inspired by the lighter fluid for my grill. It suddenly occurred to me that I could draw a bird with the lighter fluid and create a "Fire Bird." So last night after the sun went down, I did just that. Enjoy.
Day 121. Crayons Bird29 Apr
It's a good day to get out the crayons. And I have boxes and boxes of them. There are so many crayon colors these days it's almost hard to decide where to start. As a matter of fact, I decided not to color at all. The rainbow of crayon sticks inspired today's Bird-A-Day art. Does this qualify for coloring outside the lines? Enjoy.
Day 120. Lava Rock Bird28 Apr
Day 119. Art Class Bird27 Apr
Today's Bird-A-Day art was inspired in my wife's class studio, while I was waiting for her to get out of critique. I happened to find a charcoal stick left on one of the class studio tables and had a little fun to pass the time. And at the same time, it was my chance to leave a little memory as I head into the last weeks of the spring semester. Enjoy.
Day 118. Watercolor Paints Bird26 Apr
Today's Bird-A-Day art a good excuse to play with watercolor paints. A favorite children's book illustrator of mine is Eric Carle. I love the way he cuts painted paper into animals shapes. His best-selling book, "Very Hungry Caterpillar" was created with his colorful cut papers. While this is certainly no Eric Carle, is was a lot fun to make. Enjoy.
Day 117. Hanger Bird25 Apr
If you hang around long enough, it's possible to find a bird in everything. And everywhere. Like the closet. Where I found inspiration for today's Bird-A-Day art. The irony here is that today's art, made of hangers, can never be hung. And yes, this bird is back in my closet now. Does that make my closet an art gallery or a bird-cage? Enjoy.
Day 116. Paint Lid Bird24 Apr
Day 115. Clyfford Still Bird23 Apr
After visiting the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum recently, I was inspired by the abstract expressionist Clyfford Still. An interesting art fact, is Clyfford Still taught art at college and one of his famous pupils was Mark Rothko. Rothko is another favorite of mine. Clyfford Still's colors, surface quality and edges inspired today's Bird-A-Day art. I used oil paints and several different palette knives instead of brushes to create the overall surface quality. Enjoy.
Day 114. Bird Bath Bird22 Apr
It's another lovely weekend here in Texas. All the plants are green, flowers are blooming, butterflies are fluttering. That sounds like something butterflies do. Flutter! I'm Just enjoying the backyard and about to refill the bird bath, when I look down at the decorative stones in the bowl…..and think to myself. What a perfect place for today's Bird-A-Day art. Enjoy.
Day 113. Paint Tube Bird21 Apr
After sleeping in on a beautiful Saturday morning, I was stumbling around my wife's art studio when inspiration hit. There on top of her artist table of brushes, palettes, and mixing knives were these old, twisted tubes that had sadly, blown their tops. Something about the dried paint and the twisted tubes looked oddly beautiful to me in the morning light. Enjoy.
Day 112. Shrimp Bird20 Apr
Day 111. Wood Stain Bird19 Apr
Always experimenting with new art media and surfaces, today's Bird-A-Day art was inspired by a cool new find. I found something called a Wood Stain Pen. And it's basically a marker, filled with wood stains, in all the basic wood colors, used to touch-up of scratches in furniture. I like the way the pen bleeds into the grain of this Balsa wood. Afterwards, I placed this little guy on top of the water fountain in my backyard. The fountain attracts birds. The kind of birds with feathers. I thought my new bird needed company. Enjoy.
Day 110. Map Bird18 Apr
I started a new job this week. Totally awesome! And so while I was rummaging through the boxes of old stuff from my old office, I came across an old map. And then I happened to notice that South America, has a shape that reminds me of "a bird". Imagine me seeing that in there! So I've decided to pin this map to the world of art. Enjoy.
Day 109. Brick Bird17 Apr
I was clearing away some old bricks from my back yard – when suddenly, I was struck with a bird idea. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I was admiring the rough surface and subtle tones of this old brick. So, rather than toss it away, I grabbed my pastels and turned this brick into my canvas for today's Bird-A-Day art. Enjoy.
Day 108. Peeling Bird16 Apr
I could have titled this little guy Stew Bird. Sunday afternoon, my wife offered to make beef stew. I thought her idea was brilliant. My humble contribution was to peel potatoes. While peeling, I was inspired to play around on the cutting board and create today's Bird-A-Day art. And yes, the stew was yummy!!!!
Day 107. Steel Swarm Bird15 Apr
Today's Bird-A-Day is inspired by a beautiful piece of steel found at my local Home Depot. I was picking up some things for the house, when I saw a display of random steel cuts at the end of an aisle. This particular piece caught my eye. I loved rough surface and little touch of rust. So inspired, I drew and cut new block print birds to create this moment of taking flight. Enjoy.
Day 106. Sweet-N Low Bird14 Apr
I like ice tea. Unsweetened. But with two packets of Sweet-N Low. Last night, my wife and I were visiting a friend in Dallas and afterwards stopped off at the Belmont's Smoke House for some dessert. Dessert was my brilliant idea. While sampling some of their finest plates of pure calories, I decided to make the moment more memorable with a little bird art. Cheers.
Day 105. Art Studio Bird13 Apr
Last night around 9pm, after teaching my class at TCU, I went to visit my wife in her art studio. She was still in her MFA studio critique at the time. So I wandered about her painting classroom while I waited. I always love visiting her class and studio space. Every square foot is covered with great splatters of paints that never made it onto anyone's canvas. The chairs, tables, cabinets, and floor are all one large mixed media piece, ready to be put on exhibit. And of course, since I suffer from the later stages of "Birds on the Brains", I had a bird idea. So today's Bird-A-Day art is inspired by my wife's art studio at TCU. What a fun, creative, inspiring space. Enjoy.
Day 104. Pecan Tree Bird12 Apr
When I arrived home yesterday I found a ton of these seed droppings all over the back yard and driveway. We have a gigantic, old pecan tree in the backyard. And it seems to have shaken loose every seed from its new head of leaves. I found this cluster of seeds sitting on one of the many flagstones in our backyard. Today's Bird-A-Day art is an odd species, because it can fly, but only down. And only once. Enjoy.
Day 103. Garage Peg Board Bird11 Apr
Today's Bird-A-Day art might need a bit more visualization effort than usual. While moving tools in my garage, these "peg hooks" caught my eye. At some point, I realized that there was a bird wanting to be found. And so with the head strong determination of a handyman I kept shuffling these peg hooks around, until I found it. Can you? Enjoy.
Day 102. Spilt Milk Bird10 Apr
Day 101. Fridge Magnet Bird9 Apr
This weekend, my wife and I visited the Amon Carter Museum to see a rare exhibition of Singer Sargent paintings. He is one of our favorite artist. Afterwards, we visited the museum store where I found a wonderful tin can of magnets. Today's Bird-A-Day art is inspired by our museum visit. I used these colorful, magnet shapes to create a cool bird on my refrigerator. Enjoy
Day 100. Easter Egg Bird8 Apr
Wow. The first 100 birds have flown by. A mere 265 days left in my "News Year's Resolution" to create a new work of art every day in 2012. Besides day 100, today is Easter Sunday. Growing up, this was a big day for Easter egg hunts in the yard. And always the perfect excuse to talk mom and dad into buying me some new Sunday clothes. I recall one Easter Sunday, when my new, brightly colored, orange and red PLAID suit, made me look more like the hunted than the hunter. Enjoy.
Day 99. Paper Pop-Up Bird7 Apr
Day 98. Melted Crayon Bird6 Apr
Crayons are not exactly the first art medium that comes to mind for most contemporary artist. But luckily, I'm not a contemporary artist. I'm just a guy having fun being creative. And my only rule is no rules. After coloring outside the lines for a while, today's warm weather gave me an idea. So I did something that would have – without a doubt – got me sent home early from school, when I was a kid. I melted my crayons! Oh the humanity. Oh the smell. Oh the fun.
Day 97. Pillow Bird5 Apr
Yes I did. I took the old pillow case from day 96 for today's Bird-A-Day art. I've wanted to experiment with image transfers. And I used this organic natural cleaner called Citrasolv from my local Sprouts store as a chemical transfer agent and played with a photocopy of a monoprint. Talk about an odd couple. Mixing these different art mediums together with an old pillow case is worth trying out sometime. If you are so inclined. You might want to sleep on it. Enjoy.
Day 96. Pillow Stuffing Bird4 Apr
Pillow fight anyone? What to do with an old pillow found in the closet? Hmmmm. Bird! Anything that isn't nailed down or being used – is officially fair game this year. Today's Bird-A-Day art is made from the shredded stuffings of this old pillow. That was to fun. Now, what to do with the old pillow case? Hmmmmm.
Day 95. Twombly Bird3 Apr
Today's Bird-A-Day art is inspired by one of my favorite artists, Cy Twombly. His work is a favorite of mine because he blurred the line between drawing and painting. Drawing for me has always come as natural as breathing, while painting – has been one of the hardest things I've ever attempted. So just to be clear, this is not a painting. Today's Bird Art is just one of my latest drawings. Enjoy.
Day 94. Neck Tie Bird2 Apr
A rare bird on the endangered species list. Today's Bird-A-Day art is inspired by the idea of never wearing a neck tie again. This out-dated notion of business attire may in the not to distant future, disappear from the landscape of client presentations. Vanishing from our memory, right along side, white-out for the "type-writer." While I have a nice collection of these rare species, I would willingly let them fly away into the great unknown.
Day 93. Tree Shadow Bird1 Apr
What an incredibly bright, sunny day here in Texas. So bright it almost made my eyes hurt. And it gave us some very strong shadows. I love shadows. I love exploring the patterns and imaginary shapes within cast shadows, the way some people enjoy reading clouds. And these beautiful shadows inspired today's Bird-A-Day art. I cut out a simple bird shape from a sheet of paper, "duct" taped it to a twig and played shadow games. Enjoy.

Hey There!
The month of August is known for hot temperatures and but what about your ride? BMW has revealed this concept vehicle during its annual Monterey Car Week Press Conference at the Lodge at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Reviewing Stand. The BMW Concept Z4 is set to go public***over the course of next year.
The BMW Concept Z4 Roadster is sporty and progressive BMW design study encapsulating the BMW Group's vision of a modern roadster. According to Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design, "The concept expresses the new BMW design language from all perspectives and in all details. From the dynamic-looking front to the striking flanks to the clean-cut tail end: a few lines and the subtle interplay between surfaces are enough to generate a sense of power and emotion."
The BMW Concept Z4 Roadster adopts classical roadster design cues, such as a long wheelbase, a low-slung, stretched silhouette and a compact rear end, wraps them in a fresh, confident package and enriches them with the contemporary BMW design language. A shorter bonnet and crisp overhangs ensure the driver sits closer to the center of the car than in previous BMW roadsters. This gives the new proportions a focused, sporty and agile feel. The outline of the car follows a distinct wedge shape, which fills the BMW Concept Z4 with dynamism before it even pulls away. The large domes stretching out rearwards from the cabin elegantly integrate the function of rollover bars and provide a sporting conclusion to the low-to-the-road silhouette at the rear.
***also set to go public is the BMW Concept 8 Series that was first shown at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in May

text: So, I just completed a timed writing component for an amazing job opportunity at the Mongan Institute for Health Policy at Mass. General Hospital and I feel in the mood to write. Though what I want to write about I am thoroughly unsure. All I really have to say on this matter is that I am FREAKING OUT about what I wrote for the writing exercise. I have never had to do something like this before for a job and while I am sure it is decent in my mind all I can do is think one million self deprecating thoughts: Did I write intelligently enough? Did I follow the prompt correctly? Did I accurately comprehend the information in the article? How does my writing compare to others who are applying for the job? Should I have used more impressive words? Will my writing be considered at all good to those who are evaluating it? Could I have done this better? Could I have done that better? Had I done this better would it, in turn, have made that better? Was this even good? Was that even comprehensible? What if this was terrible and it affected that and this and that together are the most awful combination of words the English language has ever had the displeasure to be used for?
