Why are words so important for a visual artist? Getting the story behind your work increases the understanding of you and your art, the likelihood of a patron purchasing it, and the probability of them sharing it with others.
When you tie an artist statement to your work, it humanizes the creator. And when people understand that a human person made this thing they are interested in, it increases the perceived value of the work. Therefore, you must share some information about yourself and your work.
That said, the specifics of your wording and tone depend on a variety of factors. How you speak about your work will vary from how you write about it in a blog post, which will, in turn, differ from how you write about it in a grant application, social media post, exhibition catalog, and so on.
Today, we're going to walk through the groundwork to prepare you for your writing. Like when we discussed collateral materials, we broke it into the preparation and then the application. In Writing 102, we'll discuss how to apply everything so it ties together.
What to Prepare
The good news is that you already have a start on the prep work whether you realize it or not! When we were talking about your Why in Collateral Materials 101: Do This Before You Make Anything, I asked you to reflect on your mission and values.
If you actually did it (and I know you did because you're a pro), you'll have solid footing for writing about yourself. You've already taken the time to define yourself, so you can easily carry that thread through all of your materials.
By knowing who you are and owning it, you'll be able concisely to describe what you're all about so you can present yourself and your work in an approachable, complete way. Like your branding pieces we talked about it the Collateral Materials classes, every element supports your vision as an artist. The words must work together just like your font and color choices must be in harmony.
In addition to reflecting on the questions posed in that post, also do the following to prepare yourself for the writing ahead:
Read the statements or writings of artists with whom you have an affinity. (In the academic world, this is a primary source.)
Read what has been written about artists with whom you have an affinity. (In the academic world, this is a secondary source.)
Make a list of the nouns, verbs, and adjectives that relate to your work.
Make a list of the most overused words in your field.
For extra credit, visit galleries and/or museums to collect your own examples. Look at how things have been written and note the length!
Pieces You'll Need to Write
There are two basic subjects about which you'll need to write. One is about your career and growth as an artist. The second is about your work both overall and in smaller series or projects.
These translate into the following pieces you'll need to write:
Short bio (100 words or less)
Long bio—you may include more info about accolades, career trajectory, and brief information about what kind of work you do. (1-2 paragraphs)
Elevator Pitch—what do you do and who are you in 30 seconds or less.
Website copy
Multiple versions of your artist statement
Different Tones Depending on Application
Naturally, you'll take different tones depending on what, exactly, you're writing. While it all has to support the same message (your mission, values, and so on that come together to create your brand personality), some things will be more formal and others can be more relaxed.
Your word choice, usage, and sentence structure will vary with the myriad things you write about yourself and your art.
In the informal realm, you may find:
Social media updates
Email newsletter copy
Talking about your work in person
In the formal sphere, you might see:
An application for grant, scholarship, residency, and so on
An essay for an exhibition catalog
Then there are some things that get a bit gray. A website, call to action, and sales message might toe the line between formal and informal. It comes down to your goals and your particular brand.
80/20 Principle
When in doubt, operate with the 80/20 principle in mind. Good writing is 20% writing and 80% editing. So, just start!
I know that some people view writing, especially about themselves, as a total drag. While it can be tricky to get started, it's an imperative to do the work, especially for an artist who gives a shit about how they present themselves and their work.
Look at this as an opportunity to clarify your thoughts. You'll use this language on your website and in grant applications, press releases, brochures, and much more. Basically across all of your collateral materials and then some.
Almost done…

Spinster Goose
Graduate student Sharon Forinash created the following digital trailer for Spinster Goose; Twisted Rhymes for Naughty Children by Lisa Wheeler. It's so clever (actually both the book and the trailer are so clever)! Check 'em out.
And Veronica Grooms created a readers' guide for Spinster Goose full of fun activities. Check it out!
Bibliography : Wheeler, Lisa. 2011. Spinster Goose: Twisted Rhymes for Naughty Children. Ill. by Sophie Blackall. New York: Atheneum Books for Young Readers. ISBN 978-1-4169-2541-5
Recommended Age Level: 5 and up
Summary of the Book
In this delightfully sinister twist on Mother Goose, Lisa Wheeler has given us her recreated and reimagined parodies of the traditional Mother Goose rhymes by introducing a new character, Mother Goose's sister Spinster Goose. When faced with the naughtiest, most rotten children around, Mother sends them on to her stern sister Spinster who rules over a prison-like school for wayward children. Here we find every manner of brat: the pinchers, pokers, biters, takers, swearers, cheaters, liars, and more! We have new delinquents along with some familiar ones like Jack and Jill, Georgie Porgie, Mary Quite Contrary, and Humpty Dumpty. Warning! Watch your manners. If you are not careful, "She'll box and wrap each little brat/ and send them home to you!" Reminiscent of the horrid adults and situations in the books by Roald Dahl. Each poem is accompanied by morbid little pictures done in watercolor and ink. Sophie Blackall's illustrated children are every bit as unique and recognizable as the artwork of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton. A standout aspect of her illustrations for the book is that her characters are truly whimsical—some human and some part animal. Georgie Porgie, for example, is a bullying bulldog picking on two cherub-faced little preschoolers. The rhymes and illustrations in this book are a perfect combination to tell the story of these beastly boys and ghastly girls. This will appeal to children and adults who like things slightly strange and off-center.
Review Excerpts
This website has an entertaining and enjoyable review in the form of a video book trailer: http://www.ratchatreviews.com/?p=656
STARRED REVIEW in KIRKUS
"Delectably satiric nursery rhymes play with naughtiness and punishment. Mother Goose sends disobedient children (some human, some half-animal) to her sister Spinster Goose's reform school, where "The pinchers get pinched, / and the pokers get poked. / The biters get bit, / and the smokers get smoked." Crimes range from eating chalk to stealing sweets and cheating. Some consequences arise naturally (gum-chewer's gum explodes on her face), while others come at Spinster's strict hand: Baa Baa Black Sheep swears, so Spinster "hires shearers from the north, / hygenists [sic] from the south. / They promptly shear his BLEATING wool, / then wash his BLEATING mouth!" Real violence remains mostly at rumor level as threats—an electric chair and stretching rack are shown but not used. Lard-boiled beans prove that "Life is Gruel"; deliberately filthy Polly Flinders refuses to shower because "this punk is into Grunge." Badness was never more enjoyable than Wheeler's wicked rewrites: "Friday's child stole seventeen lunches. / Saturday's child threw seventeen punches. / But the child who got a Sunday detention / did something too naughty for me to mention." Blackall's watercolor-and-ink illustrations are fascinatingly delicate in line and color as they convey all the funny, delicious ghastliness of necks bending in woe, cheeks paling in nausea and this whole mob of unbiddable, hybrid Struwwelpeter/Gorey kids."
—Kirkus 2011
This collection of Mother Goose parodies . . .is as elegant as it is, like Mary, "quite contrary"….Blackall's pallid vignettes balance chilly poise and mordant humor. . . Wheeler adds some intellectual depth to the original nursery rhymes while grossifying them. . .kids with a twisted sense of humor will feel right at home.
—Publisher's Weekly 2011
. . .Blackall backs up the rhymes with wry, devilish images that surround, infiltrate, and help spark this offbeat collection. Pairing these parodies with a traditional Mother Goose book . . .will help expand listeners' appreciation of Wheeler's humor. —School Library Journal 2011
Questions to Ask Before Reading Book
1. Has anyone heard of Mother Goose?
2. Do you know any Mother Goose rhymes?
3. Would you like to share and recite the rhymes you know?
4. What do you think of Mother Goose? How do you picture her?
5. Looking at the cover of Spinster Goose, does this look like Mother Goose? Who do you think this is? Does she look kind or mean? Why?
6. What is a spinster? What do you think of when you hear that word?
7. Why is she holding the children like that? What kind of children are they?
Suggestions for Reading Poems Aloud
• Invite the children to pick their favorite traditional Mother Goose rhyme or their favorite from Spinster Goose and to recite it aloud using costumes and props. For example, "The Fibber" by Lisa Wheeler (Spinster Goose) could be read by a female student dressed like Mary and with a stuffed lamb prop. "The Custodian" by Lisa Wheeler (Spinster Goose) could be read accompanied by a bucket and mop
• The children could be encouraged to read a rhyme as a duet. A perfect example would be "The Interrupter" by Lisa Wheeler (Spinster Goose). This rhyme has alternating lines: the actual rhyme and then the interjections of the character Mary (Mary, Mary, quite contrary). One child could narrate the rhyme, the other could play the part of Mary. The part of Mary would need to sound like an annoying know-it-all!
Mary, Mary, quite contrary, she's a walking dictionary. "I think you mean encyclopedia."
• Let the children read their favorite rhyme from Spinster Goose using several different accents, emotions, and tones of voice. For example, "Crooked Row" could be read with a very proper, upper-crust British accent, with a scary, sinister voice, or with a cheerful, peppy voice similar to the Good Witch in the Wizard of Oz movie. Let them have fun and experiment with how one's voice can change the presentation and characterization of the poem being read aloud.

Loch Earn
This is a really easy swim to organise and it's well worthwhile as the surroundings are fantastic. You can hire a reasonably sized solid rowing boat with outboard engine from the Drummond Estates Boat Hire for the day. They are based half a mile up the loch on the northern side so if you start and finish there the total distance is around 12 miles. If you are thinking of doing the English Channel or a swim of a similar distance then this would be a really good training swim. The water can get quite choppy when the wind blows up which is great practice for a longer sea swim. For a shorter version you could swim up to the end and come back in the boat which would make the total distance approximately 6 miles. It's also a very pleasant day out for your helpers as just being out on the loch surrounded by the mountains is exhilarating in itself.
Lake Windermere
This is another scenic swim that is easy to organise. Quite a few people have done this swim and in fact the BLDSA organise swims here every year in August. I started from Ambleside at the northern end and had two friends accompany me in an Indian style canoe. If you don't have your own boat there are numerous places that hire out kayaks and rowing boats for the day. As a courtesy we informed the lake warden of our intentions and they actually appeared halfway through the swim in a small launch to check everything was alright. There is a very comfortable youth hostel right on the water's edge at Ambleside but bear in mind that you may want to be flexible with the direction you swim (depending on the weather forecast) and may prefer to stay closer to Fellfoot at the southern end. Navigation on the lake should be simple with a decent map and the only place you may need to make an adjustment is at Boness where you will need to fit in with the small ferry that goes back and forth across the lake.
Lake Zurich (Zurichsee-Schwimmen)
Starting in Rapperswil and finishing in Zurich, this is a longer swim than the others (26.4k). It is very well organised by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team (taking place at the end of July or early August each year) but you will need to book up quite a bit in advance as the number of accompanying boats are limited. Again the scenery is fantastic and with water temperatures in the low 20s there should be no problems with the cold!
Loch Tay
From the edge of the loch at Killin down to the bridge at Kenmore is 14 miles. Another fantastic swim through great scenery but certainly quite a challenge. When I did it the water temperature was barely above 12 degrees due to the heavy rainfall in the previous weeks and the lack of sunshine. The wind can pick up quite quickly from the west creating quite a swell behind you, which ultimately helps push you down towards Kenmore but also makes it quite hard to build up a regular swimming rhythm rather like swimming in to a beach with the surf breaking over you. Read the full account here.

At age 39, former Pulp/Joe Strummer collaborator Antony Genn is a throwback at the top of his game. His band The Hours are now on their second full-length attempt to make some not-immediately-disposable alt-rock and throw a little well-defined Joy Division melancholy into a spastically omni-neurotic post-9/11 world, a thing that couldn't be pulled off better than in "Come On," the vibe of which summons images of a Tears For Fears yuppie guy sopping wet in a zoot-suit walking in the rain and trying to figure out where his next meal's coming from. It's awfully… clean, this stuff, for lack of a better syllable; honestly, I had this playing in the background as I puttered around this pile of screaming crazy trash I call a desk, and it was like hearing Snow Patrol and Killers at the same time. I didn't detest those potentially pandering similarities as much as I'd normally think I would, though, and whatever, these guys are definitely chameleons, hitching Arcade Fire hayloft piano onto a lovable Arctic Monkeys-ified '80s-dance groove on "Narcissus Road" and fusing Wire to Keane in "Ali in the Jungle." Yes, I'm suggesting Keane as a mope band. Intriguing or what?

3D/Large Venue Projectors
Apr 25, 2012 3:57 PM,
By Llanor Alleyne
Barco FLM HD20
While large flatpanel displays get a lot of attention as the visualization outlet of choice for many venues, projectors are still ideal for application briefs that feature large audiences in complicated lighting situations. With the 3D evolution fully upon us, projector manufacturers have been quick to answer the demand with projectors that provide the latest 3D bells and whistles as well as sharp image output with reduced susceptibility to environmental conditions. Here's what some manufacturers are currently offering for 3D and large venue applications.
An ideal fit for large venues that require extra brightness to show crisp, clear images, Barco's FLM HD20 projector is an ultra-bright, durable projector with full HD picture-in-picture capabilities. With 20,000 lumens light output, the FLM HD20 is able to display widescreen, high-contrast images even in venues with lots of ambient light. Other features include a contrast ratio of 1,800: 1 with a high-contrast mode of 2,400:1, low noise levels thanks to liquid cooling, a sealed optic engine that prevents dust, smoke and other environmental contaminates from impairing picture quality, extended lamp warranty (750 hours), and good lamp maintenance at typically 1,000 hours.
Designed for use in demanding settings, BenQ's SH960 large-venue projector boasts full HD 1080p native resolution and 5,500 ANSI lumens ultra-high brightness for brilliant images. The SH960 is equipped with a 3,000:1 contrast ratio and a native 16:9 aspect ratio with a full 1.07 billion-color palette. The projector's dual-lamp design allows users to opt for maximum brightness or choose an eco-mode that extends lamp life by up to 30 percent. H+V Lens Shift technology gives users flexibility in projector placement, allowing the focal point of the lens to be adjusted in venues where dead-center placement isn't possible.
Canon LV-8235 UST
Canon's new LV-8235 UST ultra-short-throw projector is capable of displaying an 80in. image from only 1.04ft. away. Combining 2,500 lumens and a 2,000:1 contrast ratio with a compact design and a wide range of installation options, the LV-8235's HDMI input allows it to project crisp HD images, from a wide range of hi-definition sources. Cited as a perfect partner with the laptop computers most used by students and professionals because it has WXGA native resolution (1280 x 800), the LV-8235 UST also offers 3D sync support as well as quiet operation and closed captioning.
Christie Digital Systems Mirage HD20K-J
Christie Digital System's Mirage HD20K-J DLP projector offers customization based on need. Each projector, for example, ships with the ILS lens mount but allows users to use their existing CTS lenses and offers a wide range of optional lenses based on installation requirements. The HD20K-J features1920x1080 HD resolution, 18,000 ANSI lumens, a 3KW CERMAX Xenon pre-aligned lamp module, two standard full 330MHz dual-link DVI-D input cards, and variable contrast ratio using an adjustable iris capable of 1,600-2,000:1 (full on, full off) or 650:1 ANSI. A dust-sealed engine keeps out environmental hazards while liquid cooling allow operating temperatures up to 104 degrees and set-up lights aide users in seeing menu displays in low-light situations.

SANTA ANA (CBSLA.com) — Jury selection was set to begin Tuesday in an employment discrimination trial against the Westminster Police Department.
Plaintiffs in Flores v. City of Westminster allege the department has unlawfully discriminated against Latino police officers, who were even denied coveted promotions and special assignments because of their national origin, according to attorneys.
The complaint (PDF) filed in United States District Court for the Central District of California alleges Jose Flores, Ryan Reyes, and Brian Perez experienced severe workplace retaliation from superiors in the form of written reprimands, superfluous internal affairs investigations, negative reviews, and suspensions.
According to the complaint, Perez is an active duty Major in the U.S. Marine Corps who has been promoted six times by the Marines, while Flores is a long-serving police officer who has received the MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) Award and other honors.
RELATED: Officers Sue Westminster Police Department, Alleging Discrimination
Reyes, meanwhile, has been granted more than 10 commendations by the Westminster Police Department, has been twice awarded the Bronze medal of merit for saving someone's life, and was recognized as Rookie of the Year in his first year with the Department, according to attorneys with civil rights organization MALDEF.
"More than one in five Westminster residents is Latino," said MALDEF President and General Counsel Thomas A. Saenz. "In order to serve well and ably the full community, the Westminster Police Department must cease its discriminatory practices and provide equal opportunity to all, as the law plainly requires."
The plaintiffs' attorney, Victor Viramontes, estimated roughly a dozen officers in the 90-officer department are Latino, the Associated Press reported.
Attorney Melanie Poturica, who represents the city of Westminster, told the Los Angeles Times the city denies any allegations of discrimination and retaliation.
"We feel that we have a very strong case and we are ready to go to trial," said Poturica.

Hello Bike Commuters and fellow minimalists! We received a few items from a company named Flowfold, if you are not familiar with them, they make "minimalist" gear for all types of outdoor activities. The items we received were the Optimist Limited mini backpack:
The Vanguard Limited Billfold wallet:
and the Sailcloth Minimalist card holder wallet:
Our first impression of the three items was extremely positive; we liked the materials, the quality and the dimensions of each item. We also love the fact that these items are made in the USA -Unlike some red hats with white lettering.
Even though I am the type of bike commuter that likes to carry the kitchen sink in my backpack, there are times that I need something small enough to run errands. The Optimist backpack certainly fits the bill. I also carry a lot of stuff in my wallet, the Billfold will be perfect to fit inside my rear jersey pocket. My wife took the card holder right away; she liked how she can keep her driver's license, cash and a credit card and how easily fits inside her jersey pocket as well.
We will be doing rides with all three items in the upcoming weeks, stay tuned for the full review!

Report: What is Web 2.0? Ideas, technologies, and implications for education. ' Within 15 years the Web has grown from a group work tool for scientists at CERN into a global information space with more than a billion users. Currently, it is both returning to its roots as a read/write tool and also entering a new, more social and participatory phase. These trends have led to a feeling that the Web is entering a 'second phase'-a new, 'improved' Web version 2.0. But how justified is this perception?
This TechWatch report was commissioned to investigate the substance behind the hyperbole surrounding 'Web 2.0'. It reports on the implications this may have for the UK Higher and Further Education sector, with a special focus on collection and preservation activities within libraries.
The report establishes that Web 2.0 is more than a set of 'cool' and new technologies and services, important though some of these are. It has, at its heart, a set of at least six powerful ideas that are changing the way some people interact. Secondly, it is also important to acknowledge that these ideas are not necessarily the preserve of 'Web 2.0', but are, in fact, direct or indirect reflections of the power of the network: the strange effects and topologies at the micro and macro level that a billion Internet users produce.'[via Stephen's Web]

A new WHO action plan has highlighted the importance of promoting musculoskeletal health in preventing noncommunicable diseases across Europe.
The plan, approved on 15th September, acknowledges that musculoskeletal conditions are the greatest cause of disability in the European region, leading to workplace absences and a loss of independence in older age.
"WCPT welcomes the recommendations," says WCPT Chief Executive Officer Jonathon Kruger. "For the first time the WHO has recognised that countries must take action to decrease the burden arising from musculoskeletal disease. Good musculoskeletal health is critical to good physical health. Good physical health is a prerequisite to people living life to their full potential."
The plan recommends promoting MSK health to people of all ages through school initiatives and integration with occupational health programmes. The plan also highlights the importance of systematic MSK programmes for older people including those in residential care, with an emphasis on early intervention and self-management.
"Physical therapists are crucial in providing early intervention and rehabilitation services," says Mr Kruger. "In healthcare systems across the world, physical therapists are uniquely positioned to promote mobility and good health. Physical therapy organisations are ready to support the development of national plans to improve musculoskeletal health."
Roland Paillex, president of the Swiss Association of Physiotherapy, has welcomed the plan at a WHO regional committee meeting in Copenhagen. "Physiotherapists can encourage greater physical activity and empower people to exercise within any limitation they may have," he said. "Many work in extended roles and save health services significant financial resources."
In many countries direct access to physical therapy allows patients to access MSK services in a timely way, creating the chance for early intervention and minimizing the risk of functional impairment. Across the world, at least 40 WCPT member organisations report that direct access and self-referral is permitted in their countries.
The Global Alliance for Musculoskeletal Health, who work with the WHO globally and regionally, have called upon all countries in the European region to embrace the plan. They have also called for an extension to ensure that the importance of musculoskeletal health is recognized worldwide.

1949: Scores by Defense Propel Browns Over Yankees
The Cleveland Browns had won three All-America Football Conference championships and were unbeaten in 26 straight games (they were tied twice, including the '49 season opening game against Buffalo) as they took on the New York Yankees on September 18, 1949. The powerful club added DB Warren Lahr and tackle Darrell Palmer for its fourth season, as well as HB Les Horvath (pictured at right), a former Heisman Trophy winner at Ohio State who had played two years for the NFL Rams. Typically, the Browns had no trouble scoring points with their well-balanced offense, but on this day it would be up to the defense to pull out another win.
The Yankees, now combined with the defunct Brooklyn Dodgers for the AAFC's fourth season, were coached by Red Strader and were operating out of the T-formation for the first time. Don Panciera was the starting quarterback, and the backfield also featured halfbacks Buddy Young and Sherman Howard and FB Bob Kennedy, although it was missing star running tailback Orban "Spec" Sanders, who had twice led the league in rushing but missed all of '49 with a knee injury. The line included tackles Arnie Weinmeister and Martin Ruby, guard Joe Signaigo, and center Brad Ecklund, and the defensive backfield had outstanding players in Tom Landry, Otto Schnellbacher, and Harmon Rowe. While the Browns had played two games and gone 1-0-1, New York opened its season just the previous week at Buffalo and was 1-0.
There were 26,312 fans at Municipal Stadium on a rainy day in Cleveland. They saw the visitors score first, on a 25-yard field goal by Harvey Johnson. But still in the first quarter, Horvath picked up a fumble by New York's Young and ran 84 yards for a touchdown.
The Yankees outplayed the Browns, who were without star FB Marion Motley due to a rib injury, and put heavy pressure on star QB Otto Graham (who no doubt missed Motley's outstanding blocking as well as his running). But while New York was inside Cleveland's 20 yard line on six occasions, and three times inside the 10, the Yankees couldn't put any more points on the board.
After turning the ball over on downs in the third quarter at the one foot line, the Yankees missed an opportunity to score a defensive touchdown of their own when Graham, fading back into his own end zone, threw a pass that hit G Johnny Mastrangelo in the stomach, but he dropped the ball.
Late in the fourth quarter, DB Tommy James intercepted a pass by Panciera and returned it 27 yards for a TD. Lou Saban, kicking in place of Lou Groza, added his second extra point and the Browns survived to win, 14-3.
New York outgained the Browns (311 yards to 125) and led in first downs (15 to 5). Otto Graham completed just 4 of 10 passes for 36 yards and the Cleveland offense never penetrated deeper into New York territory than the 47 yard line.
The Browns went on to win two more games before being beaten convincingly by their arch-rivals, the 49ers. While that briefly put them in second place, they went 5-0-1 the rest of the way to top the AAFC (which went without divisions in its last year, due to the reduction to seven teams) with a 9-1-2 record. Along the way, they handily defeated New York at Yankee Stadium by a 31-0 score. The Yankees finished third at 8-4 and lost in the first round of the playoffs to the second-place 49ers. Cleveland defeated Buffalo in the first round and San Francisco for a fourth league title before moving on to the NFL.
Les Horvath, who was strictly a reserve, retired after the '49 season to go into dentistry (he had a successful practice for many years in Los Angeles). Tommy James (pictured below), who had started his career in the NFL with Detroit in 1947 before moving over to the Browns in '48, stayed with Cleveland for another six seasons before finishing up with the Baltimore Colts in 1956. His interception against the Yankees was one of 34 that he accumulated (8 in the AAFC, 25 in the NFL) and his only one that he returned for a touchdown, although he did score on a fumble recovery in 1953.

Y'all, I'm literally blown away that I'm in week 18 of my pregnancy.
I'm halfway to our goal of 36 weeks and I couldn't be anymore thankful that this experience has been as easy as it's been. I know that pregnancy isn't always easy and it isn't always fun, so I know that I've really been blessed to have such a smooth four and a half months. Our little babes are growing so, so well and I'm so happy that they're also doing so well so far. I can't believe how BIG they are…. we used to be able to see both of them on the ultrasound machine at the same time; now we can only see one at a time and half of them at that! Watching them makes my entire day! They swallow now (so cute to see!!) and I'm starting to consistently feel a few movements a day now!! And, I can't say that I don't poke, shake, and press on my belly hoping to get a little action in response! lol.
Pre-pregnancy, I thought pregnant women were only uncomfortable due to the large belly and the person rolling around inside of it. But, I've learned otherwise! lol. So, these days, I'm all about making myself comfortable at all costs, no matter what! I (almost) have no shame!!! So far, that means I wear flats 6 out of the 7 days of the week, am working on carrying cross body bags and clutches rather than over the shoulder purses I like to pack with anything I "may" need, lol. All of which are huge moves for me. H U G E life changes but definitely worth it.
One of (the many) most un-fun purchases I've made so far has been a belly band. T and I set out today to pick one up per doctor's orders (for the second time… eek!) and I wasn't too thrilled when the sales woman pulled it out, but was so happy after I tried it on. I mean, it's a huge surgical white, velcro clad contraption that is not very attractive but feels like heaven. I'm sold.
Last but not least, my favorite comfort piece thus far – Preggo Leggings.
They're comfortable, soft, fit like a dream.
One issue I have with maternity pants is that the band that fits over your belly gets uncomfortable during the day. As my belly grows throughout the day (we eat a lot, k?) the band would get more and more uncomfortable. I'm constantly fussing with them; I'm constantly pulling them up and would eventually end up folding the band down because it's just so uncomfortable! I mean, why add to the irritation, yea? Not with the belly band of these leggings! It's amazing how comfortable they are! The band wasn't uncomfortable nor did it dig into my skin!
These leggings never have to be adjusted. NEVER. They stay put, but move along with you. I was honestly a bit concerned about wearing leggings while pregnant because in being short and small, I'd have to pull them up or adjust the legs a lot even before pregnant. I thought I'd have to do the same while pregnant – not so! I didn't touch these leggings ONCE while we were out. That's huge for me and I'm completely sold. Such a fashionable, easy, and quick piece to toss on and get out of the door in!!
I'm in love.
In love with flats, slings & cluches, belly bands, and super comfortable leggings.
And, with these babies who will one day soon make me a mom.

Christmas Eve, 1970. Four-year-old Cathy MacDonald, and Frosty.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
So sweet! How wonderful your parents were to think to take a picture of their sleeping daughter on Christmas! And Frosty…well, to me his expression seems to be apologetic and to be saying "Oh, hello, don't mind me while you're taking a picture of your daughter. I have these painted on eyes, you see, therefore I cannot close them. So, cheeeeeese!". 😉
Merriest Christmas wishes, Zielskes.
Merry christmas , Joyeux Noël from Belgium.
So cute. Merry Christmas Cathy.

What I really liked about your game was the interface design itself. The text input gave it some kind of authority, like it would be something hidden in the dark, a tool just for me, the player - it corresponded pretty well with the goal in your game. :) That's why I included it in one of our compilation articles about the ResistJam, along with two other neat entries, and the related showcase video. <3
Best wishes,
Entry for ResistJam 2017
How to Play
Your goal is to infer the leader of various domestic groups by drawing conclusions based on monitoring communications networks. Scan targets to gather intel, and once you've got a clear enough picture, arrest them. Try not to arrest the wrong person, it's expensive to cover up.
You have access to the the sophisticated Orthographic Reception Watch and Eliminate mk. II monitoring device. With it, using a simple command interface you can
spy monitor and act upon threats.
scanScanning is the core method to identify threats. Due to the nature of the act, however, it's somewhat limited. Scanning a person gives you their entire call history and automatically adds them to the tracking list if they are deemed a threat. Otherwise, they'll be added to the ignore list
track Tracking lets you observe someone without spending our resources! If you suspect someone but don't want to scan them just yet, you can monitor them to see if they call a known suspect, or to turn off existing tracking.
arrestOnce you're pretty sure about someone, you can arrest them. Make sure it's the right one. You will be able to watch the dispatched officer pursue them and upon arrival, you'll be able to see the results.
ignore Toggles the ignore flag. Useful for cleaning up the map.
Note that scanned targets that are not suspicious will automatically be added to the ignore list.
help Useful in case you forget how to use these commands.

Hey Your game is pretty kickass,
I'm working on a video project called time capsules focusing on game indie devs. It's similar to sending a message to your self in 50 years;
Only five questions for my documentary:
1. What feature in your game can the player not experience anywhere else?
2. What's the biggest personal obstacle you had to overcome in creating your game so far? (it could be super technical or anything else that you want to talk about)
3. Who helped you decide to become a game dev?
4. What feature of the game do you absolutely love that no one would probably ever find?
5. What do you believe video games mean to humanity?
First couple of episodes
if you have some game footage or even better developmental footage of errors or other stuff you'd like to show people who have never programmed a day in their life.
also best ways to contact you, and all social media you use because I'll be displaying those through out the episode.
I think if people dig the game and dig your story they might reach out for questions or colabs you really never know what can come of it.
do you think you'd be interested in being my guest?
I think i found a pattern. The suspect is always the first person your "starting point guy" calls. Got pretty easy at this point. Still a great game tho.
The screenshots look awesome. I wasn't able to get it working properly, though.
The keyboard events need to be intercepted so they don't trigger browser built-in shortcuts. I use typeahead find, for instance, that pops open the browser's find-in-page search box when I start typing, so it takes focus away from the game. In Chrome, the space bar scrolled the page down when I was trying to type.
I haven't worked with Phaser in a while, but in plain old javascript you want to call .preventDefault() and .stopPropagation() on the keypress event object. I think Phaser has a .preventDefault somewhere that you can use.
Thanks for the feedback! I tried to use a couple things but there were some mixed up API references in Phaser's documentation.
did you try clicking on the game screen?
Definitely on topic! I felt like the NSA was actually breathing down my neck!
The text and lines are frequently obscured (when playing in browser). I like playing it anyway, which says something good about the rest of the design.

What is the basic bass rig for somebody starting out to get some kind of a Phil-like tone? Not going to be able to spend a fortune; just wondering what kinds of things I would keep in mind looking at used amps?
I played plenty of bass rigs and the current one I use is a Mesa Boogie 400+ power head and a Mesa Boogie 4x10 Powerhouse cabinet combined with an 18" SWR subwoofer. The 4x10 provides plenty of low end bass on it's own and is really clean and punchy in the high and midrange. If Mesa is too expensive try other 4x10 cabinets. 4x10's are easier to transport than the 2x15's or the 8x10's and are suprisingly responsive to low end. Just as important (or more important) as my rig is my volume setting on the bass, I play with the volume control on 9 out of 10 and fingerpick heavy gauge strings strongly to get maximum gain from the bass. This gives the sound a slightly overdriven quality. For slower tunes I push the bass control knob on the bass almost all the way and cut the mid and high range controls back to get a more acoustic bass sound. In summary the Mesa equipment is LOUD and provides lots of headroom for the Phil sound.
My philosophy on bass sound is that it should be thick and warm all over the stage but not overly loud. The audience wants bass, it makes them move....that's the coolest thing about playing bass.

These are headers that I have developed to address many of the complaints of fitment issues in the Fbody's. These will allow you to run a low mount a.e.i alternator bracket, clear the steering shaft with ease, and also clear factory water pump outlets. Made up of 14 gauge 304 stainless steel with 3/8″ thick stainless flanges. These are not a China made set. These are assembled here in the USA by my friends at Kooks Headers. I did this to guarantee the quality of my product. Check out the photos as i have shown them in the upswept position as well. Though they will not fit Fbody in the upswept position, they will fit many other applications. I've included measurement pictures to help judge your application.
There may be a small wait time depending on how fast Kooks can get my orders filled.
These come with gaskets and new bolts.

The New York Times
December 21, 2009
|Senator Ben Nelson, Democrat of Nebraska, announced his support of the bill on Saturday.
WASHINGTON — After a long day of acid, partisan debate, Senate Democrats held ranks early Monday in a dead-of-night procedural vote that proved they had locked in the decisive margin needed to pass a far-reaching overhaul of the nation's health care system.
The roll was called shortly after 1 a.m., with Washington still snowbound after a weekend blizzard, and the Senate voted on party lines to cut off a Republican filibuster of a package of changes to the health care bill by the majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada.
The vote was 60 to 40 — a tally that is expected to be repeated four times as further procedural hurdles are cleared in the days ahead, and then once more in a dramatic, if predictable, finale tentatively scheduled for 7 p.m. on Christmas Eve.
Both parties hailed the vote as seismic.
Democrats said it showed them poised to reshape the health system after decades of failed attempts.

Michelle and I met years ago while in college. We planned to go back home when we graduated, but one thing we loved about Atlanta was the diversity. That is one of the reasons we made our homes here. We got into children parties by no mistake. I was always the one that initiated planning or volunteered to organize things. She was the one that always had the eye for detail. Hands down she was always the one that could "dazzle" just about anything. We love what we do and it shows.
We get our inspiration from all of our family, friends and most importantly the fairy tale films that we can still watch over and over today. We thought how cute it would be to give every girl and her closest friends a mystical and magical experience of their own. We know one thing for sure that everyone loves "The Fairy Godmother's" short appearance in our children's films. We look forward to scheduling your little princess her very own "My Fairy Godmother Party" today.
Yours Truly,
Behind the scenes...
There was a lot of time and thought that went into the services that we offer.
We know that no two events are just alike. Therefore our team came up with a variety of package options that can be customized by theme and age group.
No group too small or big for us. We specialize in offering unique all-inclusive party packages starting at only $299.
We take pride in providing quality, affordable, professional service from beginning to end. We strive to make it an easy one-stop shop for all your party needs.
Behind The Scene Our team works hard from the moment that you contact us. Rather it is answering all of your inquiries, scheduling services, upkeep with supplies, manage inventory, maintain costumes, prepping for our parties, packing for parties, set-up and breakdown. There is a lot of time, talent and supplies that goes into each one of our party package. Our services are not something that can be thrown together in a day or two. We carefully crafted each one of our party packages that we offer.
What fuels us? Our fuel is the memorable experiences that we help create for years to come. We treat every event as if it's our own.
We have grown so much over the last several years. We started with only princess parties. We now have a large creative team of folks with all kinds of experiences that can cater to most children themes and parties. You name it, we may have done it or at least know someone that can.
Our diverse team consists of experienced, professional, patient, creative, and talented folks who enjoys working with children of all ages and backgrounds.
Our goal is to make each event a unique, magical and pleasurable experience for everyone. We don't overbook. We do what we say we are going to do. You won't be disappointed!
Did you know? It doesn't have to be only princess or pink. We can cater to just about any children's theme or color palette. We have planned some boys parties too. Because princesses have brothers too.
Want to get in the business? Questions? Want to be a part of our team? We have been an inspiration to several party companies over the last several years. Message us on our home page to see if we can help.

Did you know?
Our parties are most often given for birthday parties ages 13 and younger for girls and boys. Our parties are given to celebrate milestones and achievements too. Why not celebrate A/B honor roll, Team Victory, Student of the Month,end of the school's year, keeping a room clean, not misbehaving, Double digits and more. It also makes a great "Big Sister" gift for a child experiencing a feeling of displacement when a new baby has arrived in the home. A princess party is also a great way to let her know that she is still your little princess. Our princess parties are very popular option to bring out the inner princess in every girl. Besides every girl needs at least one princess party with all of her closest friends.
Our character visits are not only booked for birthday parties. They have been booked to have breakfast, deliver special news, present gifts, and just because. Besides, what girl or boy wouldn't want a visit from his or her favorite character? A character visits is a day of dreams and memories for years come. It makes great pictures too!
Birthday Parties
Celebrating a birthday is onlyonce a year. Why not make it special and celebrate it with a big party? Most parents choose a party to celebrate the excitement of their child being a year older. Most parents that celebrate another year of life with themed decor, engaging entertainments, inviting all of the family and friends for their best wishes for many years to come. If you have a birthday party every year or every so often, we noticed that most parents spend $500 - $1,000 on average for a birthday party. We do have our few outliers that spend well over a $1,000 for those like to do it big. We created affordable party packages that fits in just about any budget.
The Entertainment is what makes the party. We noticed some parents are cutting out the entertainment to keep their parties simple, under a certain budget or to keep it fancy. So we created a variety of budget-friendly party packages that includes all of the most popular entertainment and light decor. With our party packages, parents don't have to worry about "what will the kids do or how will I keep them entertained". Our affordable party packages are fun and entertaining. That's why most of our parents call us year after year. We keep up with all the trending party themes, games, crafts and entertainment that most kids love.
We list all of our party packages, what's included, pricing, and FAQ on our website for your convenience.
Do you guys only offer princess parties? What about the adults? It doesn't have to be only "princess" or "pink". We have planned or hosted all kinds of themes parties for mostly kids 13 and younger. We have several different themes and/or color palettes available to customize your party. We have planned some boys' parties too!

Hello, i discovered Substance Designer a month ago, and i watched features videos and tutorial to see what the software is capable of.
And they have a function called Curvature map, that calculate the curvature of the mesh and renders it as a white and black map.
This looks really useful especially for mechanic modeling, so it spares you decaying the edges yourself. Lets say you want to make your spaceship looking a bit decayed, you just have to bake the curvature map, and apply it to your model (as an overlay or blend layer).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... 9lI#t=471s
They have some more interesting features, so i invite you to visite their site and get an idea of what could be added to blender.

This old ACE machine has been almost 5yrs in the making for me, lost interest with it on several occasions. See my post back in 2003, @stevedude2 I keep my promises & @wearecity you're joke on the first page was only 4yrs out.
Took some liberties with a few lamps here and there as we were never 100% sure of hidden/feature ones. Thanks to everyone's input on that and clearing up the whole 'fair play' reel situation which is not in this rom revision.
Thanks to...

Ben Browning was only the third contestant sent packing on Survivor: Samoa, but the 28-year-old bar manager still managed to snag himself a spot in the Survivor hall of shame thanks to his physical and verbal antics. During his brief stay on the island, Browning was accused of being a racist after a dramatic falling out with Yasmin Giles, and earned the dismal distinction of becoming the first Survivor cast mate ever to be thrown out of a challenge.
Despite his now-notorious reputation, Browning tells us why he has no regrets and picks which cast members he wants to take home the title.
TVGuide.com: How did it feel to be the first person ever to be thrown out of a challenge for being too rowdy? When Yasmin confronted you afterwards you didn't seem very apologetic.
BB: I think everybody will agree that it was pretty rough and I got singled out. What I did was not that bad. There were head butts and punches and elbows and all kinds of stuff going on, so for me to trip somebody? There was never a rule that we couldn't. You know, s---happens.
Meet Survivor: Samoa's new set of castaways
TVGuide.com: The fight with Yasmin was the first big argument of this season and seemed to put a lot of people on your tribe against you. Do you have any regrets?
BB: I thought everyone else was just being a little too sensitive about everything. If somebody comes in to my house and tries to tell me what's what, that just doesn't fly. They were saying I don't respect women? Give me a break. I've got a huge family, I've got three sisters. I was raised by girls. It's just funny to me. You want equal treatment? I'll give you equal treatment. It's not like I hit a girl or anything like that. It was strictly me sticking up for my tribe and them not appreciating it.
TVGuide.com: Was it hard to see viewers and tribe members label you as a racist after that confrontation?
BB: Not at all, I just think it's funny. I'm so not racist that it makes me laugh. Will I call somebody out? Sure. Will I try to piss somebody off by saying something? Sure. Does that make me a racist? No. It might make me a cruel and witty bastard if I can get somebody so fired up over something I say. I really don't care what people think. I know who I am. My friends and family know me and love me. It's just really funny to me. Anybody who knows me, knows me. Anybody who doesn't, I don't really care.
TVGuide.com: On this week's episode, some of your teammates argued you didn't add anything to the team but you seem convinced they wouldn't be able to get by without you. What did you think about that?
BB: I can't say why they were thinking what they were thinking. But that's just the way it unfolded. I'm curious to see how everybody did without me because I made Foa Foa's camp.
TVGuide.com: After being eliminated from the challenge and the fight with Yasmin, it seemed you might be headed home last week. Were you surprised you were sent home this time around, especially when Russell [Hantz] was pushing for you to stay?
BB: Russell is playing a game. So if people wanted me gone and that was a sacrifice he had to make, that was a sacrifice he had to make. I don't have any hard feelings. I thought it was a cool experience and I thought everybody was interesting.
TVGuide.com: At this point in the game, do you have any favorites to make it all the way or anyone you're rooting for?
BB: I'm not really sure, I just have to wait and see. I have hopes that a couple people get pretty far. I'd like to see Russell win it. He's the one playing the game so I think he deserves to win.
TVGuide.com: Speaking of playing the game, do you think Russell was right when he said he's the only one playing the game right now?
BB: I think Russell is pretty much right on. As soon as he got out there, he got busy being a little social butterfly and going around talking to every single person. He saturated himself with everybody but he played it smart. It's funny because he's a millionaire and they say a millionaire has a better chance of making a million dollars than a regular guy. Russell came to play so you have to give it up for him.

command element can be used to invoke an operation that can come from multiple sources. For example, a clipboard paste operation can be invoked from the Edit menu, a context menu and by pressing a keyboard shortcut. You attach the code to the command using the
oncommand attribute. It will be called no matter how it is invoked by the user. In addition, disabling the command will automatically disable the menu items and keyboard shortcuts.
Commands are identified by their
. If you include the script
chrome://global/content/globalOverlay.js in your window, you can use the function
goDoCommand function to invoke the command. Using this function has the advantage that the command will be sent to the part of the UI which will respond to it. Typically, this will be the currently focused element.
Like a
broadcaster, commands forward attributes to other elements.
More information is available in the XUL tutorial. See also:
command attribute,
commandset element
The following code will send a paste command (
cmd_paste) to the currently focused element:
// First include chrome://global/content/globalOverlay.js goDoCommand("cmd_paste");
Example with two buttons
<commandset><command id="cmd_openhelp" oncommand="alert('Help');"/></commandset> <button label="Help" command="cmd_openhelp"/> <button label="More Help" command="cmd_openhelp"/>
- Type: boolean
- Indicates whether the element is disabled or not. If this attribute is set, the element is disabled. Disabled elements are usually drawn with grayed-out text. If the element is disabled, it does not respond to user actions, it cannot be focused, and the
commandevent will not fire. In the case of form elements, it will not be submitted. Do not set the attribute to
true, as this will suggest you can set it to
falseto enable the element again, which is not the case.The
disabledattribute is allowed only for form controls. Using it with an anchor tag (an
<a>link) will have no effect.The element will, however, still respond to mouse events. To enable the element, leave this attribute out entirely.
- Visible controls have a
disabledproperty which, except for menus and menuitems, is normally preferred to use of the attribute, as it may need to update additional state.
- Type: script code
- This event handler is called when the command is activated. This occurs when a user selects a menu item or presses a keyboard shortcut attached to the command.
- Type: string
- This attribute applies to a
- Setting this attribute to "true" indicates that the command is reserved for Chrome code and is not available for use in the content. This means that, to execute these commands, key events won't be passed to content, and event listeners registered for them in content will not be executed.
- Currently, the content still receives these key events, even though it can't override them. In future releases, it won't receive them. See bug 1173061 for details.

We are getting ready to rev things up here at our new blog spot. We hope to provide you with interesting articles that are relevant to today's local business marketing strategies. Check back soon. We look forward to seeing you.
Google Joins the Yext Network
On February 16, 2016, Yext announced that Google was being added to the Yext Network. For any small business or Digital Marketing firm that uses Yext power listings, this is a win-win situation. Most small businesses do not have the time or adequate staff to keep up with social media. This in itself is detrimental to the small business. Posting on social media and getting your customers to offer comments about your business and services can offer a handy lead generation tool if done correctly. Facebook is already part of the Yext Network. This allows any added content, pictures, special offers, etc. to be posted on Facebook as well as all of the other Yext Network listings.
Now Google Business pages are also part of this network and so just like content posted to Facebook, Google business page will automatically be updated at the same time. That is one more thing the business owner or account manager can cross off of the many things that need to be done. For me, I see this as a faster more comprehensive way to keep Google business pages up to date with highly relevant content. For the consumer browsing Google, Yelp, Four Square want to see something that indicates the business is proud enough of itself to put it out there. Now there is a one-stop way to do this through Yext.
Let me just say that the business has to be claimed on Google. For the do- it- yourselfers, you can look up in Google how to get your business listed. I would have hoped that somewhere along the line that someone would have explained this necessary step to you, but I must say that I have come across far too many businesses that have not claimed their business in Google. If your website was built professionally, this service should have been included in the web design service, but given that there are far too many unreliable web designers in our world I would say that if you are not sure if your business has been claimed, just go to www.google.com/mybusiness . Follow the steps and if you do not find your business there follow the steps and ask for a verification postcard. I can take up to 4 weeks to get the card. At that point go back to Google and enter the verification code. When you set up your business, make sure that your business name, address, and phone number are EXACTLY as they appear on your website. Google will not allow you to use a PO Box. You will have the opportunity to hide the address I Google if you do not have customers coming to your address. Once you are verified, you can remove the address on your website although I do not encourage you to do this.
So put "Googling your business" on today's to-do list. There are handy Apple and Android apps to help you or your account manager respond to positive and negative feedback. I hope this information has been helpful and has given you another foot up keeping on top of local marketing and bringing you one step closer to the "bottom freezer refrigerator".

In a recent article in The Jewish Daily Forward, Gavin Rabinowitz discusses the ADL (Anti-Defamation League) report that Greece is the most anti-semitic nation in Europe. Reporting on a global anti-Semitism survey Gavin states, "With 69 percent of Greeks espousing anti-Semitic views, according to the survey, Greece was on par with Saudi Arabia, more anti-Semitic than Iran (56 percent) and nearly twice as anti-Semitic as Europe's second-most anti-Semitic country, France (37 percent).

Rethinking Secularism: The Power of Religion in the Public Sphere
May 4, 2011
Four of the world's leading public intellectuals came together to discuss "Rethinking Secularism." In an electrifying symposium convened by the Institute for Public Knowledge at NYU, speakers give powerful accounts of religion in the public sphere. Charles Taylor offers insights on "Why We need A radical Redefinition of Secularism," Judith Butler poses the question, "Is Judaism Zionism? Religious Sources for the Critique of Violence?" and Cornel West speaks about "Prophetic Religion and the Future of Capitalist Civilization." To listen to the symposium, click here.
Report: Catholic Attitudes On Gay and Lesbian Issues: A Comprehensive Portrait from Recent Research

Heterosexism, Religion, Sexuality Leave a comment
Catholics are more supportive of legal recognitions of same-sex relationships than members of any other Christian tradition and Americans overall. Nearly three-quarters of Catholics favor either allowing gay and lesbian people to marry (43%) or allowing them to form civil unions (31%). Only 22% of Catholics say there should be no legal recognition of a gay couple's relationship. To read the full report from the Public Religion Research Institute read here.

I could do that, by saying "I suck, vote for NoTA over me!", or just link my platform to every second question, but that would not really do me anything good (and it would be quite dishonest too). > Would you change anything about the DPL or GR processes to help achieve that > time? Once thing that I thought about was a pre-arranged questionnaire for the candidates: collected the week after platforms are published, before the campaign period, then posted, with the candidates having a week to answer. Once answered, further questions are collected and organised again, and posted in a followup questionnare - you get the idea. This would eliminate overlapping questions, and would make it easier for the candidates to answer. On the other hand, it would be a lot of work, would be terribly boring, and I'd hate it. So lets not do that. I do like the element of surprise in our current campaign process. -- |8]
