|Brain go boom. Pretty, pretty colors.

I was on deviantArt clearing through my messages (I'm behind by the thousands) and updating my to-do lists for the site, when a really expansive project sprouted, threatening to push all thoughts of my thesis out of my head.
I'm shaking my fist at the heavens right now!
Anyway, I try to be a benevolent spirit on dA from time to time, and one of the ways I go about doing this is by purchasing adoptables from people who are trying to raise points (a type of dA currency) for whatever reason. Adoptables are created characters to which you purchase the rights. Which means, the design, color scheme, and overall rendition of the character is yours to do with as you see fit. I'd read a couple journals from people who were very bummed that their adoptables weren't being purchased, so sometimes I rummage their galleries to see what they have and purchase ones that I like.
After I accumulated about three characters several months ago, I figured it would be a neat challenge to eventually see if I could come up with something where I could use them. As I continued to purchase adoptables here and there, I was spurred by the challenge of finding a way to use every character I'd won or bought.
So of course, as I'm clearing up my messages and galleries, the idea on how to use them pops up in my mind. And then my brain just kind of overdid it and suddenly a substantial plot (rather concept--plot is too tidy of a word to use at this moment) and backstories for the characters fleshed themselves out.
|I own the rights to these characters now!

And it is a breath of fresh air! It's so hard not to drop everything and work on this, but at the same time, I feel like I have to type some of it out, or else I'll forget some of the exciting details when I finally have the time to come back and develop this project.
True to form, I'm messing with fairy tales again (yup, that's kind of my thing). And I'm playing around with crossing stories and gender swapping and all sorts of fun things to turn these stories on their heads.
I think a lot of my brainstorming influences have to do with stuff I've discussed in school, and things I've recently read. I think that mish-mash of experience formed this great globule of a concept.
So, without further ado, here's the list of things that probably influenced me as I put stories together for my characters.
- In my classes, we've been asked to identify the moment where we read something that cemented the fact that we wanted to write fiction. I've shared at residency and in online classes--the book that did it for me was Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier. I read it back in 2001 as a freshman in college. It took the fairy tale of the Six Swans and combined it with Celtic mythology and history. And there were so many things in it that touched me deeply on an emotional level. I never cared to read romance, but I loved the romance in the story. And Sorcha was such a strong character. I always think of this book when I think of writing fantasy.
- I bought the first three volumes of Amya at Ohayocon and zipped through it. I really like it so far! Anyway, the lead character, Faye, is mute...and she reminded me of Sorcha from Daughter of the Forest, who is also mute. The characters do have different personalities and purposes, but both are strong females who find ways to communicate without the use of voices. This has always intrigued me.
- I recently finished Sailor Twain: Or, the Mermaid in the Hudson by Mark Siegel. . I've had a love of the sea for quite some time, and I can't remember how long I've loved mermaids. Anyway, I've always liked the darker, older versions of fairy tales, and the mermaids of old were a bit more sinister. And they're seductive of course, too.
- Recently finished Nine Princes in Amber by Roger Zelazny . I have to admit, I wanted to like the book more. I just couldn't get into the characters at all...but I did like a lot of the Big Ideas behind the story. There's lots of references to mythology and literature, and some of my favorite scenes occurred in Remba, the seabound kingdom that is a reflection of Amber. Lots of Celtic influences there.
- Doing research on the psychology of fan fiction for my panel at Colossalcon. And, looking into cosplay again. Fans like to swap genders, switch power dynamics, and turn canon stories on their head. (Think of the Ice King's fanfiction in Adventure Time).
- We've been reading A Short History of Fantasy by Farah Mendlesohn in my Genre Readings class and it's got a section devoted to Australian fantasy authors. Juliet Marillier is mentioned, and so is Cecilia Dart-Thornton, who wrote several books I enjoy. The one that came to mind as I read about her was The Ill-Made Mute, which I highly recommend. This is another Celtic-myth influenced work, and it features a mute lead character. And mythical creatures that dwell in the water, like the kelpie.
|I will never get tired of this material.

With all of that simmering in the background, I started to combine the plots of several fairytales: The Three Ravens, The Little Mermaid, Donkeyskin (since I failed at my first attempt to use it in The Name and the Key), Sleeping Beauty, possibly Little Red Riding Hood...and that's what I've got so far.
The character with the most complete backstory so far is the male lead. Of course it is! Every time I write a male character they seem to outshine my female leads. Men are very fun for me to write...I don't know why I'm not as good with female characters. That's weird and it kind of annoys me.
ANYWAY! I get to let this simmer for a while as I try to get my brain together for my thesis. I am so mentally done with that book, but I just can't be in that negative state to write good fiction, you know? It'll be more to revise, I think. Blehh.
Current goal to finish my thesis--750 words of NEW writing each day. From now until April 3rd. If I follow my own rules, that's almost 22,000 words. Not bad.
And my reward for finishing The Name and the Key? I'll start storyboarding my new project idea.
...Which will be a graphic novel, by the way.

Good Questions: Airing Out Preserved Insects?
I bought these butterflies on ebay and should have realized that they would be preserved somehow. Now my whole apartment smells like a museum! I've got them hanging out in the window with some baking soda and all the fans on in the hopes that they'll air out a bit. Any suggestions as to how to get this smell out fast? I'm not crazy about sleeping/eating/living in a chemical fog. Thanks for your help! Ruth
(Note: Include a pic of your problem and your question gets posted first. Email questions and pics with QUESTIONS in subject line to: newyork(at)apartmenttherapy(dot)com)
This is difficult without knowing what the butterflies were preserved with...anyone?

Jody Luna, M. Arch, Ed. D.
Interior Design
Associate Professor
The Illinois Institute of Art — Schaumburg
The harder you work, the more success you'll have. Jody Luna, M. Arch, Ed. D. , Associate Professor , The Illinois Institute of Art — Schaumburg
Was there a defining moment when you knew you were destined to become a creative professional?
I grew up around architecture and construction, because my dad was a contractor. When I took art and drafting in high school, I knew I had to incorporate a creative aspect into my career...it just felt right creating art and design.
How do you weave your professional background into the classroom experience?
I simulate a real-world environment whenever possible. I play the role of project manager, and guide students through the process as though they're design professionals working in a commercial design firm. We also go on-site to visit interior design firms and projects to introduce students to the resources available in the industry.
What class assignment exemplifies your approach to teaching and mentoring?
I keep the lines of communication open with my students. To me, that's the most important part of building a classroom environment.
In what way do you inspire students to push themselves beyond their own perceived limits?
I try to lead by example—by continuing to push myself beyond my limits, and sharing my experiences with students I hope they can see the value in pushing themselves.
How does collaboration contribute to students' success—particularly when students from various programs work together?
Interdisciplinary projects are my favorite. I believe we should work together between departments to help students get comfortable collaborating with others who bring different specialties to the table. The more a student gets involved in the school community, the more invested they are in accomplishing their goals.
What's the most important thing you impart to students to help them succeed in class and the real world?
The harder you work, the more success you'll have. Hone those skills now while you're in school.
Anything else you'd like to share?
This is truly a community...we've created a collaborative work environment—not just for employees and faculty, but for students.

Occupy the Kochs
The Koch's main front group, Americans for Prosperity (AFP), hosted a gala at the Washington Convention Center in DC. Guests included Mitt Romney, Herman Cain, Andrew Breitbart, and Grover Norquist. Outside Other98 gathered for a Guerrilla Drive-In. We had a blast.
Launch of Beautiful Trouble
We helped put together Beautiful Trouble, a handbook with over 70 contributors laying down accumulated wisdom of decades of creative protest, to pass it on to the next generation of change-makers. Multiple current and past O98-ers contributed sections for the book. You can get one too!
Dump Dimon & Let Chase Eat Cake
We gathered 42,000 signatures on a petition demanding Jamie Dimon step down from the NY Federal Reserve, then snuck them into Chase HQ by printing the petition on plates of cake.
Video Launch: Exxon Hates Your Children
We were served a cease and desist for daring to air this satirical TV ad. Worth it.
We joined CREDO and Rainforest Action Network to create the NoKXL Pledge of Resistance, kickstarting an enormous nationwide movement. We kept up the heat until President Obama issued the final veto in 2015.
Free The Press Indiegogo Raises 200K

If Vladimir Horowitz came to town for a Sunday afternoon performance, it's a fair bet that the concert hall would be rushed, there would be a huge demand for tickets, and the house would be sold-out. The mere mention of the name - a performer who is a legend in his time, at the top of any ranking of pianists living or dead - registers immediate response at the box office.
However, if one were to mention the upcoming performance of another keyboard artist, surely of equal status in her field, known in this country as "thefirst lady of the organ," it is fairly certain that most would greet such an announcement with a blank stare. Marie-Claire Alain? Never heard of her.

Two factory workers are talking.Go here to see more jokes for English language students. (Joke nipped from http://iteslj.org/c/jokes.html).
The woman says, "I can make the boss give me the day off."
The man replies, "And how would you do that?"
The woman says, "Just wait and see." She then hangs upside-down from the ceiling.
The boss comes in and says, "What are you doing?"
The woman replies, "I'm a light bulb."
The boss then says, "You've been working so much that you've gone crazy. I think you need to take the day off."
The man starts to follow her and the boss says, "Where are you going?"
The man says, "I'm going home, too. I can't work in the dark."

John James Audubon drew the original drawings for his Birds of America set between 1826 and 1838. In 1985, the National Audubon Society and Abbeyville Press contracted for the original drawings to be photographed and reproduced by a Japanese printer. Three hundred and fifty facsimile reproductions in the original double elephant folio size were produced.
The set on display in Davis Memorial Library was donated by Terry Sanford and his wife Margaret Rose. In addition to the four volumes of paintings, the Sanfords donated sets of supporting material bound in the same green leather and a wooden bookcase with stand that was built to display the work. Terry Sanford was the first chairman of the Board of Trustees' at Methodist College (now University) (1956 - 1967) and served on the board until 1993.
Can't visit our library? Digitized images from the entire collection are available online from the Digital Research Library at the University of Pittsburgh.

METAIRIE, La. – When All-Pro Jahri Evans was an NFL rookie, he traveled to rural Pennsylvania to watch a Division II football game.
METAIRIE, La. – When All-Pro Jahri Evans was an NFL rookie, he traveled to rural Pennsylvania to watch a Division II football game.
Bloomsburg at Mansfield.
Few appreciated that more than Bloomsburg coach Danny Hale, who took a chance on Evans out of high school without Evans having played a down during his senior year.
"I think it's something special for a guy down there in New Orleans who's willing to give up that weekend to fly up here to upstate Pennsylvania in the cold and wet," Hale said. "He really is a special guy – pretty humble, a hard worker and a great kid. When he was here it was five years of just doing what you tell him."
Since being drafted out of Bloomsburg in the fourth round in 2006, Evans has started every game at right guard for the New Orleans Saints. Had he not been playing so well lately, he might be suiting up for his first Pro Bowl this weekend. Instead, he'll take the field for the Super Bowl a week later.
"It's not a bad reason to miss the Pro Bowl," Evans said, chuckling.
During last weekend's NFC championship game, Evans helped clear a path on both of running back Pierre Thomas' touchdowns in the Saints' 31-28 triumph over Minnesota.
On Thomas' 38-yard score on a screen, the 6-foot-4, 318-pound Evans motored up field to cut off defensive back Benny Sapp's path to the ball. Sapp fell as he tried to avoid running into Evans, who has been known to put defenders on their backs. Evans then quickly pivoted right and delivered a glancing blow to linebacker Chad Greenway, who was trying to track down Thomas from behind.
Back in Bloomsburg, Hale was watching, delighted but not surprised.
"I'm seeing the same things he's doing at the NFL that he did at this level," Hale said by phone yesterday. "He doesn't even have to make contact. He's there and (defenders) are going to vacate. He's hustling to get downfield and get another block."
Thomas scored on a 9-yard run in the second half by cutting back behind Evans' block on defensive tackle Pat Williams, whom Evans shoved several yards off the line of scrimmage before knocking him down.
In Philadelphia, former Bloomsburg running back Jamar Brittingham had an idea of what Thomas saw on that run.
"I can remember running to his side and there would be a humongous hole," said Brittingham, who rushed for 2,260 yards and 32 touchdowns in 2005, with Evans blocking for him.
Evans had hopes of playing major college football when he was a high school junior in Philadelphia. Letters arrived from Maryland, Virginia Tech, Vanderbilt and others. Then while playing pickup basketball the following summer, he broke his leg and could not play football as a senior.
Bloomsburg found out about him while recruiting his Frankford High School teammate, Sean Williams, who persuaded coaches to meet Evans.
"He just came off extremely well in the personal visit – a very good high school student, top 10 percent in his class," Hale recalled. "We just took a chance."
Evans got a partial football scholarship and also qualified for an academic scholarship, without which he might not have been able to afford Bloomsburg. Evans credited his single mother, Katreen, for that.
"She's a big reason why I'm here today," he said. "She was very involved in school."
Evans redshirted his freshman year to build strength. Hale said he was one of his best linemen by his sophomore year, rotating at both guard and tackle spots before taking over at left tackle.
He wore No. 73, as he does now, and both Hale and Brittingham recall fans at Bloomsburg talking about watching for him.
"He was just a dominating force and every game there was something exciting you were going to see from Jahri," Brittingham said. "A lot of times what people would see is a big guy running down the field hitting a guy so hard that the first thing that would hit the ground was his head."
Pro scouts were interested, but had reservations because Evans had not been blocking top college defenders.
"I knew there were going to be questions coming out, but it just came from not knowing as much or seeing the film and the stuff you see on D-1 guys," Evans said.
But Saints scout Jim Monos had gone to Bloomsburg and his father, Jim Monos Sr., was an offensive coordinator there and had worked with Evans. That connection gave the Saints the confidence to use a mid-round draft pick on him.
"A lot of guys know now that there's players all over the country, no matter what college they go to," Evans said.
When Evans was named All-Pro, he texted and called former coaches back in Pennsylvania to thank them.
"People at Bloomsburg are definitely happy and proud," Evans said. "It's not every day that somebody from that area makes it this far in the NFL."

After convening a call with the National Weather Service and over 50 of our public and private partner agencies, I am delaying opening of Dallas County Government Offices and Courts tomorrow, Tuesday, February 24, 2015 until 12:00 noon. My decision was made in my capacity as Director of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. The decision is based in large part on the National Weather Service's forecast of below freezing temperatures in Dallas County overnight which will likely result in a re freezing of precipitation on roadways and dangerous driving conditions in the early morning hours. It is expected the icy conditions will return to a slush mixture by mid morning due to traffic on the roadways and that temperatures will creep above freezing after 1 p.m. tomorrow. Please use extreme caution and allot extra time for travel. Commissioner Court will be postponed until the afternoon and will convene at 3 p.m. tomorrow.
Although TxDot has treated most major highways, many secondary roads remain untreated. In Dallas County, secondary roads carry significant traffic. Road treatment is ongoing and will continue throughout the event, but it will not be possible to treat all secondary routes and freeways may become icy despite pretreatment.
If you must drive tomorrow, please allot extra time and use extreme caution. Carry an ice scraper, water, blankets and emergency items. Our team at Homeland Security and Emergency Management and our first responder community will be on the job throughout the event to keep you safe. Please help us by avoiding unnecessary travel and exercising precautions on icy surfaces.
Stay warm, dry and safe,
Clay Jenkins
Dallas County Judge

Publisher:Manchester House Publishing
Success Through Manipulation provides a convincing picture of how our mind works. Most literature on brain function gets all wrapped up in this piece controls this and that piece controls that. Colin Christopher is a hypnotist and years of training and experience give him a much different insight into brain function. He treats the brain as two main computers, which he refers to as the conscious mind and subconscious mind.
Colin says the subconscious mind receives input from our five senses and responds to them based on how it has been programmed by past experiences. For me this conjures up an image of a myriad of nerves pumping in signals from eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin to be processed into images composed for the conscious mind and signals created for shipment via other nerves to muscles. To do this, it processes an astounding 20 million tasks per second! But it only lives in the present and with what it can put into images. Abstract thoughts like "don't", "yesterday", "tomorrow", etc. are totally ignored.
The conscious mind on the other hand deals with abstractions, guides the learning process of the subconscious mind and acts as a gatekeeper for information reaching it. Except in times of extreme stress of complete relaxation, it controls the programming and reprogramming of the subconscious mind. To do this it processes no more than 40 tasks per second.
The book delves into how these minds function by citing 57 laws governing their behavior. Each is followed by examples and discussion of how mediocre people (he calls them conventional thinkers) fail to exploit them and how successful people (unconventional thinkers) make use of them. To this he adds "thought manipulation action steps" as a guide for taking advantage of them. In a final section Colin gives examples of how he has employed combinations of these laws during hypnotherapy.
Babies are born with only a subconscious mind. The conscious one shows up later during the child's growth and this explains why guiding a child's development is so important. One is in effect helping to program its subconscious mind. Conversely, without parental guidance, television and video games are programming it and we are increasingly seeing the disastrous result of that.
While reprogramming the subconscious mind requires time, effort and repetition, it is possible and the book shows how. On a personal note, I am working at applying Colin's lessons to my golf game and already scores have improved. The next step is to expand into other areas. Although the book has a few ups and downs from a readability standpoint, the lessons it teaches are easily understood and can be of great lasting value.

The proper depth for planting allium bulbs depends on the size of the bulbs, but generally ranges from about 3 to 8 inches. The size of allium bulbs varies by species and can range from less than a centimeter to 8 to 10 centimeters in diameter.
A good rule of thumb is to plant the bulb at a depth that is three or four times the diameter of the bulb. It is important to plant the bulb with the pointed end facing upward. Spacing between bulbs should be anywhere from 3 to 10 inches, depending on the height of the species, but plants should be far enough apart to avoid shading each other. Allium bulbs require fall planting before the ground freezes.

Celebrity Street Style of the Week: Carly Rae Jepsen, Miranda Kerr, & Annalynne McCord
Every week, I scour the web to find inspiring outfits on your favorite celebs and help you recreate their looks! This week, I was inspired by Carly Rae Jepsen, Miranda Kerr, and Annalynne McCord. Read on to see how you can get their looks for yourself.
Look 1: Carly Rae Jepsen's Colorful Creation
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Singer Carly Rae Jepsen looked funky and colorful on Thanksgiving day, wearing red leather pants, a bright indigo coat, a black wool floppy hat, a gray skull scarf, and some cool buckled booties.
As you probably know, the color blocking trend is still going strong for fall, and while you may not initially think to pair red, blue, black, and gray together, Carly demonstrates that they make a great combo. This outfit is also a great example of a way to add a little color to your dark winter wardrobe.

Coat, Jeans, Booties, Scarf, Hat
A brightly colored coat, like this indigo toggle coat, is a great way to brighten up your winter wardrobe. Make a real statement by pairing it with some coated red skinny jeans and some tough-looking black buckled booties. A wool floppy hat is a chic winter accessory, and looks great with a skull print scarf.
Look 2: Miranda Kerr's City Cool
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Supermodel Miranda Kerr was spotted with her adorable son Flynn out and about in NYC. She rocked a heather gray mini skirt with a blue button down shirt, a black leather biker jacket, and some eye-catching studded booties. Her look is super chic with a downtown vibe - it'd be especially perfect for a night out on the town.
Outfit Inspired by Miranda
Skirt, Top, Jacket, Booties, Sunglasses
A slouchy heather gray mini skirt is given a downtown vibe with the addition of a denim button-down shirt and a tough-girl biker jacket. Add some black studded ankle boots for a chic boost of height, then go for dark sunglasses for the day like Miranda, or swap them for a cool clutch for a night out.
Look 3: Annalynne McCord's Cozy Chic
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Actress Annalynne McCord wore an outfit perfect for this time of the year, looking cozy yet still super chic. She paired dark skinny jeans with a long, fringed sweater and perfectly matched knee-high boots, along with aviator sunglasses and an eye-catching red bag.
I love this outfit because it works for most low-key occasions - it'd be great for a casual day out, or even a holiday family get together (especially since heeled boots add a dressed up vibe).
Outfit Inspired by Annalynne
Sweater, Jeans, Boots, Sunglasses, Bag
A long, fringed sweater is a great way to make a statement while keeping warm and cozy. Pair it with a simple top and some dark skinny jeans, adding matching knee-high boots for an upscale look. Choose a handbag in a bright hue like red for a pop of color, and add some aviator sunglasses if you're out for the day.

Gritting teams out in Herefordshire and Worcestershire
Gritting teams from councils in Herefordshire and Worcestershire are out in force over the weekend after snowfall led to hazardous conditions.
Worcestershire County Council said it was now working with district and parish councils to grit pavements.
Meanwhile, Herefordshire County Council said it had spread about 1,000 tonnes of salt in 24 hours but still had adequate stocks.
Minimal disruption has been reported on roads in the two counties.
Occasional snow flurries were expected across the region throughout the day, which will add to the lying snow in places.
BBC forecasters said it would feel bitterly cold with a brisk easterly wind. The best of any brighter spells to the west of high ground. Maximum Temperature 1C.
Saturday night was expected to be very cold with widespread frost and ice and a minimum temperature of -5C.
Worcestershire County Council said all 1,233 grit bins had been refilled and encouraged people to use its interactive map to find the nearest one.
John Fraser, who is in charge of highways at the council, said major routes should all be treated.
"We will be out and about on roads and footways getting as much salt down as we can do get them de-iced, and again will be calling on our partners, district councils and we've had a lot of help actually as well from parish councils."
Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service has urged people to stay safe by staying off frozen water.
Station Commander Alan Haley said: "We'd urge people not to step on to the ice at all, and certainly not to be tempted to skate, rescue an animal or retrieve a ball.
"They could easily fall through into the water, or get trapped below the ice, risking hypothermia or even drowning."

Comcast plans to start selling movies for download and streaming through the cable operator's set-top boxes and its Xfinity TV website, according to people with knowledge of the plan.
The effort will offer a new path for Hollywood studios to generate revenue from films after they leave theaters. For Comcast subscribers, it provides a way to purchase movies they can watch anytime through a TV, computer or mobile devices.
The new service could start by the end of the year with a range of new releases, older movies and some TV shows from several Hollywood studios, one of the people said.

Customers will be able to buy the titles through the on-demand menu accessible with a Comcast set-top box, or on the Xfinity website, the person said. Once purchased, the movies will be watchable on TV, a computer or mobile devices.

A Phase I Study of Intravenous Decitabine in Combination With Arsenic Trioxide and Ascorbic Acid in Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are hematological disorders characterized by ineffective
hematopoiesis. DNA hypomethylating agents such as decitabine have been shown to have
activity in this disorder by reversing the epigenetic mechanism of gene silencing.
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a hematological disorder characterized by ineffective
hematopoiesis and malignant expansion of clonal myeloid cells. In elderly patients (≥ 60
years old), MDS commonly precedes the diagnosis of AML. Standard therapy for AML consists of
cytotoxic chemotherapy and is often followed with allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
Unfortunately, elderly patients are often unable to tolerate such aggressive therapy.
Arsenic has also shown activity in patients with MDS and AML though modulation of apoptosis
via increased oxidative stress. In preclinical modes, arsenic activity is related to the
production of radical oxygen species that damage mitochondria. Cellular glutathione acts as
a cellular antioxidant and can be depleted with the vitamin ascorbic acid which increases
intracellular oxidative stress and sensitivity to arsenic trioxide induced apoptosis.
We are studying the combination of decitabine, arsenic trioxide and ascorbic acid, two
primary agents and one vitamin all with different mechanisms of action in order to improve
the response rate in patients with MDS and AML. This is an open-label, single-arm,
single-center, dose escalation Phase I trial of decitabine, arsenic trioxide and ascorbic
acid in patients with MDS, either de novo or secondary, fitting any of the FAB
classifications and AML.
Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
To define the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicities during four cycles of combination decitabine, arsenic trioxide and ascorbic acid in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) previously untreated with hypomethylating agents.
4 months after the final patient on the final cohort starts treatment
