Everyone who's dipped a toe — or any other body part — into the dating pool knows it sometimes feels like it would be much easier if all parties dropped their carefully constructed facades and let it all hang out. Perhaps literally. The mad scientists behind Dating Naked, a new series on VH1, intend to test this theory by challenging would-be lovebirds to doff their dainties and seek out their soulmates.

In each episode, two brave souls in search of relationships are flown off to a tropical paradise retreat and treated to three whirlwind days of all-nude romance, during which they'll carefully evaluate the goodie baskets of three potential matches— including each other— before finally choosing from among their suitors and jiggling happily off into the sunset. As I sat down to recap the first episode, though, it was hard not to wonder if the contestants would be able to see the forest through the bushes.

Let's meet our players: Joe is an affable 24-year-old hunk of pure, grade-A Long Island beefcake who enjoys balloon hats and wants the world to know that his muscle-bound tough-guy exterior belies the romantic soul of a poet. (More on that poetry later.) At 19, Joe wed the love of his life only to have his matrimonial bliss peskily interrupted by an annulment just five months later. Now he's trying again." Dating Naked gives me a way to trust someone possibly again. I'm here for love. I don't want just beauty and looks now. There's no secrets. You see me, I see you. Boom."

With that, Wee Wee appears. Yes, her name is Wee Wee — not to be confused with the many blurred-out wee-wees that will later feature on the show. Wee Wee's 36, recently out of a 10-year relationship and hasn't had sex in a year.

According to host Amy Pafrath, Wee Wee and Joe are about to embark on a "radical dating experience" that will force them to expose their truest selves and separate the superficial aspects of finding a mate from the stuff that really matters. With that, Amy slinks back to her lair and the daters head off for the real business: getting naked on national television.

Joe is predictably worried about getting, "You know, a little excited," and plans to suppress any unseemly tingling in his loins by thinking about "elephants and monkeys." Also, by remembering to look Wee Wee in the eye. Rather than talking directly to her vagina, I guess? Now that's chivalry!

Wee Wee, on the other hand, is perfectly up for a quick game of peek-a-balls.

"I didn't even focus on the penis," she says upon the big reveal. "I just saw his testicles and I was like, uhhhh, now where do I look?"

But Dating Naked has a different kind of balls in mind for Wee Wee and Joe: they'll spend the day on Zorbing, the delightful sport where you roll around in a big plastic ball. "The awkward thing about getting into the Zorb is that you're butt-naked," Joe says, climbing in. "You're flopping around everywhere."

"This was a whole different blow job," Wee Wee muses as she inflates the contraption. As the Zorb rolls through the ocean, Joe's crotch-blur spins like a pinwheel while Wee Wee's eyes fill with little cartoon hearts.

With those athletics out of the way, the clothes go back on for dinner, and things get more intimate. Joe tells Wee Wee all about his failed marriage, his near-death experience with viral meningitis, and his desire for a picket fence, a dog, and a kid. The two agree that they feel like they've met before, and it's hard not to think they might be onto something. Maybe it was on the lost season of Jersey Shore?

Unfortunately, while romance is clearly brewing, Wee Wee's not going to break her year long dry spell quite yet — the pair retires separately to their quarters, knowing that a whole new crew of nudies is about to arrive.

The next day, Wee Wee is introduced to Jack for a day of nude art. While she's unimpressed by both his ghostly pallor and his sneakers, she starts to come around when he uses his apparently sizable dingaling as a paintbrush. Elsewhere on the island, Joe meets Jasmine, a comely Israeli temptress who is looking for "honesty, adventure, and sexiness."

"I think that I am sexy," Jasmine reveals. "It comes from the inside. I'm not playing games. I'm very comfortable with myself." Jasmine's thighs may be untouched by cellulite, but she has trouble written all over her.

That night, it's time for a little mixer, as Joe, Jack, Jasmine, and Wee Wee hang together, poolside. Joe and Jasmine play grab-ass while Wee Wee ignores Jack and seethes: "They're flirting and I'm like, 'Hello, I'm Wee Wee. What are you doing?' I thought Joe and I had a connection but now I'm second-guessing."

By the time the final dates roll around the next day, both Joe and Wee Wee seem too preoccupied to even check out the goods. Wee Wee suspects that her date, Justice, isn't "genuine" but by now it's clear she only has eyes for Joe. As for Justice, he's not feeling it either: "If I'm bringing filet mignon, you better bring some good mashed potatoes," he philosophizes. "Wee Wee just doesn't have the swag that can facilitate Justice."

Meanwhile, after some painful-looking body-boarding with pretty, easygoing Chrissy, Joe engages in some completely desultory love-games that like little more than an excuse to unleash his inner Emily Dickinson. (Emphasis on the — oh, never mind.) A sampling of his poetry:

Ocean, sky

You, the girl with beautiful eyes

Sitting here like I'm doing this on the fly.

When I first met you, I felt real shy

I don't know what to think now

But I'm sitting here and I'm feelin like a clown.

Chrissy bangs on a pair of bongos and tries not to laugh. With that, it's time to head to the villa for a final group date.

"Am I prepared for those people?" Chrissy asks.

"I thought you were gonna say 'penises,'" Joe says. A fair assumption!

Back at the ranch, the real drama unfolds as Jasmine reveals herself as an expert practitioner of reality TV villainy. It's unclear if she's actually interested in Joe; instead, her goal seems to be to take Wee Wee's last shred of self-esteem, grind it to a pulp, and hopefully earn herself a slot on Dating Naked: All-Star Edition in the process.

"Wee Wee didn't seem like a threat to me. I am very strong and confident. I am very pretty," Jasmine explains.

But all that confidence might backfire: when Joe spies Jasmine cavorting with Justice in the pool, he gets even by making out with a swoony Wee Wee. "Finally, he kissed me. You know when you kiss someone, like, instantly when your lips meet, you know if there's something there?"

Think again, Wee Wee! Two seconds later, Jasmine has Joe back in her thrall and is dragging his bare ass to the cabana for some naked sexy-time. Wee Wee, unamused, decides to interrupt their tête-à-tête. "What the fuck, dude?" she exclaims, bursting into the room. Then she remembers she's on a dating reality show and heads off to bed feeling deeply confused about the choice she'll soon have to make.

Things seem no clearer by the next day, when host Amy drags the whole crew to the dais for some naked decisions. Joe hems and haws and offer caveats, but ultimately ignores his own wee-wee — not to mention Jasmine's skyward-pointing nipples — and chooses a shocked Wee Wee. But is it too late? After all, Wee Wee seems tempted to get even with Joe for his dalliances by serving up Justice with the mashed potatoes he's been waiting for. But never fear: she chooses Joe, all wrongs are righted, and the happy pair heads off for a final day in nude paradise, leaving the audience with a definitive answer to the question that's been plaguing it. When you date naked, love wins out.

Literary Appeal Essay

Who is Henry David Thoreau? Why is his name blundered all over books, journals and blogspots on the World Wide Web? To answer this question entails brief reconnaissance of how he treats his life and how his astounding philosophical views change the “outlook” of the American life back then and how his ideas influenced the human mind machinations up until now. Henry David Thoreau also known as Henry Thoreau David) was born in Concord, Massachusetts in July 12, 1817 and died at the same place in May 6, 1862, at a considerably young age of 44 .

He was birthed to John Thoreau and Cynthia Dunbar and was said to be named after his uncle. He was the youngest of the three siblings. Currently, his birthplace is developed as a historical landmark in the area. He studied at the famous Harvard University between the years 1833 to 1837. Henry David Thoreau was considered a transcendentalist, philosopher, a creative artist, a scientific originator, anti-slavery activist, a poet, a teacher, a philosopher and a thinker . His intellectual career and philosophical meanderings began in the town where he was birthed.

In the year 1835 he became an educator in Massachussets; after his graduation rites he taught at an academy in Concord but his disputes with the administration and the refusal to administer corporal punishment to the students, forced him to erect a grammar school. He befriended Concord resident Ralph Waldo Emerson and author of “Nature”, who introduced him to the local literary circle. It was probably his constant meetings with the outspoken literary crowd that incited his zest for writing and had led to the stimulation of his political and social opinions. He was a regular contributor of essays (e. g.

Natural History of Massachusetts) and poems (Prayer, The Moon, Smoke, Conscience, Rumors from Aeolian Harp, Low Anchored Cloud, Let Such Pure Hate Still Underprop, My Life Has Been the Poem, Friendship, I knew a Man By Sight, Epithaph on the World, Indeed, Indeed I Cannot Tell, On Fields O’re Which The Reaper’s Hands Has Passed, Pray To What Earth, They Who prepare My Evening Meal below, What’s Railroad To Me, Within the Circuit of This Plodding life and Inspiration) to the local quarterly periodical. His barrage of poems did not reach the current popularity of Robert Brown but his journals were a different matter.

What is most outstanding of about his multivolume journal (1837) was that he maintained it till the rest of his life. His journals were reflective of his works and it was refurbished by the author himself and was considered as good as a literary work. One could say that the journal was a library of Thoreau. Every time he attempts to work on a literary piece, he would always refer to his journals. He lived most of his life as a pencil-maker, tutor and land surveyor. He never married hence there was a current speculation on his sexuality but he was said to have been in love twice in his life time.

His poem “Friendship” may leave a very different meaning or subtextual message to the contemporary critics. In 1845, he practiced self-imposed isolation in a self-structured house at Walden Pond, at the outskirts of Concord town, for duration of two years as a form of social experimentation. His solo house was ten feet wide and ten feet long. This period of his life was heightened by his famous imprisonment in July 23, 1846 in the local county jail because he refused to pay the taxes as a tactic for civil disobedience.

Unfortunately his plan did not work out and he was released immediately since his relative, more specifically, his aunt paid for all his taxes. His plan may have backfired but his intentions were well broadcasted into the community. His series of tax evasions were famous for his adjunct, “Beware of the enterprises, who wear new clothes. ” The experimental period in the Walden Pond conveyed a lot to his developmental inquiry on many aspects of life. Politics and the idea of tax imposition were to be an important issue and he advocated for a scandalous concept of self governance in his essay, Resistance to Self- Governance (1849).

The essay is a critique precluding to the former state of American governance, conscience, and constitution . Before the essay was published a much vocal speech with the same content was delivered at the Concord Meeting Hall. In his juicy speech, he elaborated much on his jail experiences. Thoreau said that his jail night was a novel a very interesting experience. The scandal of jail may have actually catch the attention of his local townsfolk at that time and his speech combined with plight for civil disobedience may have been an inspiration for them.

Thoreau made a passionate appeal for justice and individualism and as well as democratic abuse and tax impositions. The essay’s popularity was not that extensive back then but its’ ingenuity will be proclaimed years later by activists Mahatma Gandhi (India) and Martin Luther King during their call for action towards freedom. Perhaps the essay has contributed to the success of the cause of the two nationalists. Was Thoreau’s fight for democracy of passive type? In his later years, Thoreau would also applaud for force or violence as a necessary act in eradicating injustice.

Thoreau also wrote a book justifying the cause of the native Blacks? Slavery in Massachusetts. Concord was then the hubbub of reformation activity. Thoreau reacted strongly to racial segregation of the Afro-American Nationals. The integrated abolitionist movement in Boston campaigned by the Anti-Slavery society was favored by Thoreau so in view of the events he constructed the book which aimed to fight for emancipation and abolish racial discrimination. Some would say that the book was a deliberate act of inciting rebellion on the Black community so that they would deliberately and immediately act against the anarchy.

At the Pond, he was able to finish A Week on Concord and Merrimack Rivers, an elegy or compositions pertaining to death for his brother John, who died in 1841 from infection of tetanus. The book failed to catch public appeal. It was much later in 1854 when Thoreau’s hardship bore fruit. The book that was to be his masterpiece and that would mark the several generations to come was published? Walden. The book tells of his two years, two months and two days which he had spent at Walden Pond. Walden so far is the most critically appraised book in literature so far.

It is actually a memoir that dangles on the self-examination and self-realization and his dictums ought to be called philosophical genius . Another important issue that is currently raised today, in connection with the aesthetic values suggested by Walden is “vegetarianism”. Walden encourages the benefit of vegetarianism as oppose to carnivorism. His distaste to carnivorism stem from the fact he considers it unclean and is a form of life “murder”. His idea of vegetarianism is the highly popular for the contemporary vegetarians.

Although he may have failed to explain it within the works of science as explained by the healthiness of the veggies as due to the presence of “cellulose fibrils” and “unsaturated fats”, his philosophy on “killing life” had really influenced the lifestyle of others. “Truth value” evaluated in Walden seeks higher meaning by forming an intimate connection with nature. In the second chapter, Thoreau wrote ? “we are enabled to apprehend at all what is sublime and noble only by the perpetual instilling and drenching of the reality that surrounds us…” The different view of transcendentalism as the highest form of insight was perpetuated by Thoreau.

He believes that intuition cannot be achieved through religion but rather as intuition through migration of the soul/spirit pass the metaphysical barriers. In his later years, he became an enthusiastic ecologist / naturalist , a scientist and land surveyor. This combined with his travels and the ability to observe everything with the methodological eye of an objectivist lead him to his nature-themed works, Autumnal Tints, Wild Apples, Cape Cod, and Maine Woods. Although it was not plainly stated in textbooks, he was one of the pioneers of the scientific method.

The observation, formulation of hypothesis and the experimentation of hypothesis and conclusion were stepwise rules he followed during his casual observation of nature. In 1859, he defended abolitionist Captain John Brown in his speech A Plea for Captain John Brown and defended the character’s actions on his raid of Harper’s Ferry. He obviously defended John on the line? “I do not believe in erecting statues to those who still live in our hearts, whose bones have not yet crumbled in the earth around us, but I would rather see the statue of Captain Brown in the Massachusetts State-House yard, than that of any other man whom I know.

I rejoice that I live in this age, that I am his contemporary. ” The locality who jeered at the acts of Captain Brown became amicable towards him after the public announcement of Thoreau. In due deference, the Thoreau’s approval acted like a catalyst in the recruit of new abolitionists. The speech on Captain Brown was reflective of Thoreau’s support for freedom, more specifically that of anti-slavery . John Brown later became one of the primary instigators of the civil war. If it were not for Thoreau, he would not be one of the war icons admired by everyone today.

During his last years, he spent most of his life at the pencil factory; the exposure to lead and graphite worsened his tuberculosis. This led to his death in 1862. It was said that before his death, Thoreau was revising his unpublished works The Excursion and the Maine and what was really noted was that, even at his last breath he was still jutting down notes on his multivolume journal. Death does not end the works of a person though. In fact, after his death, Henry David Thoreau became more famous. He is, by far, the most celebrated American author and his memory is upholded by the Thoreau society.

Many of his possessions and belongings are still found at the Concord Museum. A local institute was named after him (Thoreau Institute). With the prevalence of web technology today, the Thoreans made the Thoreau Server and American Transcendentalism, webpage containing the annotated works and criticisms of and to the celebrated author. There are even blogspots for his works on the web. Henry David Thoreau is a literary icon through and through. He is famous because his influences transcend time; his works bear social and political impact during his years and is currently, the mantra of the American literary genre.

He queries on the rivalry between the “Union and the State” and to the measure of patriotism. It also tackles Thoreau’s stand on individualism. Justice is put at ground here and the act of conscience, a tool for remedy? Conscience or more likely the guilt over the state of affairs at the time back then and the call for immediacy of actions are important concepts in the essay. Individualism is seen as progression to the much sought-after democracy. The Constitution is questioned for its inclination towards slavery. His view in tax imposition is reflected here. A Plea For Captain John Brown Captain John Brown’s action ?

his raid at Harpers’ Ferry, was heartily defended by Thoreau. The speech is actual criticism of the townsfolk’s immediate reaction to Brown. The speech’ persuasiveness to the side of Brown and Thoreau’s pull and philosophy towards democracy is mirrored here. Slavery in Massachusetts Massachusetts condones slavery, an economic trade, strongly opposed by the author. He rips apart the idea of slavery and points out the flaws and how it eats the democratic system the State is trying very hard to achieve. The “Blacks” as a property is injustice and due freedom should be afforded to them.

Call for action is heavily implicated here. Walden. Thoreau’s social experimentation in the Walden Woods and his reflections, insights, and philosophical meanderings is demonstrated here. Human development is comparable to seasons reflective of the environment. His aesthetic view on life, his inclination towards the idea of simplicity and honesty combined with eco-centrism mirrors author’s enlightenment. The book is a philosophical memoir and embodies the very essence of wisdom. Transcendentalism is a major philosophy if one seeks pure enlightenment. III. PARAPHRASE OF FOUR SENTENCES (A Plea for Captain John Brown)

“Know all men by these presents, that I, Henry Thoreau, do not wish to be regarded as a member of any incorporated society which I have not joined”? The line pertains to Henry David Thoreau’s distaste for hypocrisy. His refusal to pay the taxes imposed by the local government of Massachusetts is an act of rebel against the injustice and the system of governance which condones slavery. He does not want to subjugate himself as a member of something his philosophical views are so disinclined against. Truth is always in harmony with herself, and is not concerned chiefly to reveal the justice that may consist with wrong-doing.?

To what the author pertains here is to the absolute value of truth. When justice no longer prevails, the last resort is the finding and pointing to plain truth, a fact that does not always conform to the constitutional defects. The government itself, which is only the mode which the people have chosen to execute their will, is equally liable to be abused and perverted before the people can act through it. ? Abuse is possible and plausible in a government consist of humans and who by greed and lost of insight can actually lead to power abuse.

To mediate this, power should be controlled and regulated by the constitution and by the call of people. Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it. ? Expression of the fair needs of each individual and as a whole and their right to demand for justice where it is fit are necessary prerequisites for obtaining fair governance. Necessary contact between the people and the government and amending as to what is fit can improve the system of governance. Works Cited I. Three Quotations “Quotations by Author. ” 2007.

Should the military reistitute a military draft? Essay

I do not agree with the reinstitution of a military draft. In 1973 the military draft was lifted in the United States and with good reason. The United States should not rely on a draft to fill military vacancies but rely on recruitment. It is true that the military offers incentives and luxuries that some civilians could not afford otherwise such as food, shelter, and medical care. However, they are just that, incentives. The military is an option and should remain that way. Many enlist for different reasons, some with economical reasons, others with strong political urges, but they enlist out of their own desires, beliefs, and more importantly, free will. Some see the military as a way of life; others see it as the only way to educate themselves in a society where education is valued so highly. With rising tuition costs, many enlist in the reserves as a guarantee for their degree. College is costly and even with the aid of tuition assistance and can leave a graduate drowning in debt. These are all choices all college bound 18-25 year olds make and some just do not have the luxury of choosing.

“One way to avoid a lot more wars is to institute the draft.” (Senator Fritz Hollings). “That’s a statement that reflects gross economic ignorance. In terms of incentives, it produces the opposite effect. Why? The draft is used because the wage the military offers isn’t high enough to get what’s deemed as a sufficient number of people to volunteer.” (Walter E. Williams). Obviously, in comparison to a volunteer military, the draft is cheaper in the time of war. I say this because the military does not have to pay the high wages as incentive to get volunteers. The Defense Department has a lower labor expense and the draft disguises the true cost of war.

Everyone has a duty to defend his or her country. In addition, I think that if you are involved directly or indirectly in the production or supplying goods to these soldiers than you are participating in the defense of your country. The Defense Department might argue that a draft is needed because it would be too expensive to pay market wages to get the desired number of soldiers. It would be right as far as the military budget is concerned but wrong when it comes to military’s true cost to the country. The opportunity cost of a soldier in the army is the value of what he could have produced, and society must sacrifice, if he or she were not enlisted. Even if the military paid nothing, the country would still relinquish what he or she would have produced if not in the military.

“National defense is an important government function; for rational decision-making, we mustn’t permit concealment of its cost through measures like the draft.” (Walter E. Williams).

Estimation of global network properties by using local aggregated data.
University of Konstanz, Germany.
Stockholm University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Department of Statistics.
2014 (English)Conference paper, Abstract (Other academic)
Abstract [en]

Estimation of global network properties by using local aggregated data.   We consider networks that can be modeled as random multigraphs and indicate various applications and appearances of multigraphs. Global properties are measured by entropy and complexity based on the edge multiplicities. Sample data give partial information about the network, and we consider a special kind of local information given by aggregation of vertices and counting of edges within and between blocks of vertices. Shafie (2012) gives a comprehensive analysis and comparison of random multigraphs of different kinds, and Frank and Shafie (2013) present special results about complexity and data aggregation in multigraphs.

Dilip Patel has a blog that always has interesting things to see. He has asked for help in doing 100  zenganeshas. These are zentangle inspired art on the theme of Lord Ganesha. The other pieces have been so fascinating that I wanted to try one.

Once I found the line art on the web I used my markers to add color and a orange Micron to do variations on Cadent behind. A little colored pencil shading and I was done. Fun!

I've got no strings!

This week the Diva challenges us to create without starting with a string. Since I had just been working on organic tangles I thought I'd try that again. I also wanted to try out a number of tangles that I had seen on the internet and added to my files. I had not used several of them in my pieces before now so this was a good chance to try them out.

This was done on a Strathmore watercolor card using 140 lb watercolor paper. I used an 05 Sakura Micron pen so it would fill in better on the bumpy watercolor paper.

As I was doing this I kept thinking of the song from Pinocchio. Now I've got that song running through my head!

I’ve got no strings
To hold me down
To make me fret
Or make me frown
I had strings
But now I’m free
There are no strings on me
Hi o the merio, that's
the only way to be!
I want the world to know
notin' ever worries me

I’ve got no strings so I have fun
I’m not tied up to anyone
They've got strings but
you can see there are no strings
on me!

Organic tangles - New Class!

Announcing a new class. Organic tangles! This class will incorporate tangles that relate to things found in nature. As we learn these tangles we will then use them to complete a greeting card. Any variety of sentiments can be substituted for the one shown in the photo.

One of the tangles shown is 'Zinger' - this is the latest tangle shown in the zentangle newsletter. I'll show you some tangleations of Zinger in this class!

The first date scheduled for this class is January 27th, 1 pm at Banbury Fair in Bartlett, IL.630 837-1727
Details can be found under the tab marked 'zentangle classes'. Please note, this is an intermediate class and students should have already taken a Basics class first.

Hidden Mickeys

This week the Diva challenged us to come up with a design inspired by  Mickey. That is - Mickey Mouse of Walt Disney fame. It's been a long time since my kids were little and we visited the Disney parks, but I do remember seeing the Hidden Mickeys at various places throughout the parks. That's where the Mickey shape is hidden within something else. Sometimes it's obvious. I have seem shrubs trimmed in the shape of those ears. Sometimes it's really hidden. There is one golf course that has a sand trap shaped like Mickey. It's really only visible from the air.  So for this challenge I decided to use hidden Mickey's as my string. How many Mickeys can you find!

Zendala Dare 31

When I first saw the template for Erin's challenge for her Zendala Dare 31 I thought, no way, those spaces were just too tiny! Look at The Bright Owl for the template  But the more I thought about it the more I knew I just had to accept the challenge. So I got the design onto my blank tile and just stared at it. It took me a couple of days to figure out what I wanted to do with it.

Easiest thing for me to start with, was to color it. I started by just coloring it all a soft yellow. Then I added my orange and red. Now I had something to work with!

OK, now I had to do tangles. But what? My favorite, bread and butter tangle, is Bales. So I looked at the template over and over, how could I get the Bales tangle into the tiny spaces? Finally it hit me. Just do a monotangle! So I got out my red Sakura Micron Pigma pen and off I went.

The simplicity of doing a montangle was so soothing, I was really feeling the zen!

Zentangle for the Holidays class

Yesterday I had an enthusiastic group of tanglers get together at Banbury Fair to work on holiday projects. This give you just a quick glimpse of everything we did. We started off working on cards. Even with the time we spent learning new tangles, these cards were done in one hour!

We then went on to work on ornaments/gift tags. A few more tangles explored and practice with the white pen too. This is just a sample of what we accomplished since several have the reverse side done too. Some gals got 2 or 3 ornaments done too!

The next classes at Banbury are scheduled for after the holidays. Be sure to check the tab marked classes for the dates. We are working on a special class for Valentines day too!

Although I will not have scheduled classes in December, I am still available for private parties. Contact me if you want to have a special day with your friends!

Socc it to me!

Do you remember the show Laugh-In? I remember watching that show with my parents and sometimes laughing so hard we were crying. What a goofy bunch they were. And they had both older comedians that were already established and they gave the start to many new stars. I wasn't so sure that Goldie Hawn was going to be a star since she was known for dancing in a bikini but she sure has aged beautifully. And if you are younger than me - she is the mom of Kate Hudson! Goldie, and others, were often asked to say the phrase 'Sock it to me!' and they never knew if there would be a bucket of water thrown on them.

So, when it came to doing this challenge to use the tangle pattern 'Socc', I wanted to recreate the style and  feel of that show. I found a picture from the show and used that to inspire me for the colors and design of my background. Then I chose tangles that gave me the feel of the graffitti that was painted on Goldie Hawn's body in those bikini shots. Those were painted with color from my markers. Then the tangles were done with a colored Micron. Finally shading was done with a colored pencil.

Alphabet Soup challenge - C

It's been a couple of weeks since I posted a alphabet challenge piece. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten. I just had so many other things to share in the meantime! I now have several letters stacked up on my desk and I'll post them over the few weeks.

In this tile I again used the letter -  'C',  as my string. I then used patterns that start with the letter C that are not official tangle patterns. These are patterns I have not used in my tiles but really wanted to try them out.

Shown here;
Chilgoza - Molossus
Cherry and Leaf - Lee Ann
Casella - Connie - a student of Mariet

Zentangle 7 book review - zendalas

The new book, Zentangle 7, has arrived at my doorstep. This books focuses on zendalas - a new way of looking at the centuries old practice of drawing mandalas.  My artwork got a full page so I'm pretty thrilled! It's a beautiful book too. It features zendalas that were created by 8 different CZTs. It is fascinating to see how we all have such different styles but all are beautiful in their own way. We were asked to incorporate some of the new tangle patterns into our tiles. I had a blast looking at each tile and picking out the new tangle patterns and seeing the variations each artist did on theirs.

There is information in here about creating a zendala from scratch, using pre-strung tiles, using stencils, compass roses, and several coloring techniques. The pictures illustrate the concepts so well! There is so much information packed in here that it is really a worthwhile addition to any zentangle library.

This new book is a continuation of the other zentangle books from Design Originals/Fox Chapel Publishing. It has a similar page count, and similar style to the other books. There are 40 new tangle patterns. And the price is a friendly $8.99.

The picture below is one of my tiles. You can see it on the cover of the book too! I took this picture on a sunny day on my front walk before I sent it off to Suzanne McNeill.

Tangles - Cuddles, Flower Power, and Fingers

Saturday, November 3, 2012

Bunzo is the new tangle pattern that is the star of this tile. It's the newest tangle from Rick and Maria at So, of course, it's the challenge from the Diva to use it! It's a fun tangle and there are lots of ways to use it. And since there are no rules, and no mistakes in zentangle, there are lots of ways to interpret it.

I started to feel a very organic, under the sea type of feeling as I went with Bunzo. I added the pattern Cockles 'N" Mussels, a tangle pattern from Margaret Bremner since it seemed to compliment it. And the colors just felt like I was snorkeling in some exotic location. The colors were all done with colored pencil.

FORT WORTH, Texas (SWBTS) – Gerald and Anne Jones provided funding for the Choir Rehearsal Room, a part of the Dec. 1 dedication of Southwestern’s new J.W. MacGorman Chapel.
The Joneses, who sing in the choir in their Arkansas church, said they were glad to help with the funding of the chapel and look forward to seeing its many benefits.

“We've been Baptists ever since we were born. My wife says she was born in a Baptist church in the kitchen. I guess we've just supported Baptists all the time,” Gerald said. “Paige [Patterson] was our pastor in First Baptist Church Fayetteville for several years, and we've known [him and Dorothy] forever and wanted to support that part of it, too.”

Anne agreed, saying that the impact the president and first lady had in their lives prompted them to want to support the building of the chapel.

“While they were here and he was minister of our church, they blessed our lives in a very special way and we have kept contact with them through the years and wanted to help,” she said. “I hope it will continue to reach lots of very talented young people and that they will go out from there prepared to serve the Lord.”

The rehearsal room also includes a collection of Richard D. “Dick” Baker’s work. Baker, a distinguished alumnus and well-known hymn writer, died of Parkinson’s disease in September. Yet, the first lady’s efforts in preserving his work will allow Baker’s legacy to go on, Baker’s daughter, Lori Simmons, said.

“Mrs. Patterson contacted him a few years ago about wanting to have a copy of each of the songs that my dad had written through the years to hold on to and archive,” Simmons said. “So, years ago he began doing that—taking things to her [and] sending her whatever additional pieces he had written.”
Those pieces will now be on display in the choir rehearsal room in the chapel.

“My father's hope was that it would be somewhere available if someone was looking to learn about it or needed a copy of it to help students in the field of Gospel music at the seminary,” Simmons said. “He was very honored and thrilled that someone was going to take it and provide it in that way.”

While this is not the first time Southwestern has honored Baker, his daughter says he would see it as the highlight of all accolades.

“He had such a love for Southwestern Seminary,” Simmons said. “The seminary has a music chair that was established in his name several years ago, and he was always very proud to be associated with the seminary. They were gracious to honor him through the years in different ways, but this probably is the highest of any of the honors that they could do for him—providing and protecting his music, putting it in that new building.”

The Choir Rehearsal Room was dedicated during Christmas at Southwestern, a production of the School of Church Music, held on the evening of Dec. 1.

Mucho Ultima Mexicana in Manhattan Beach

Posted on 15 March 2009

By Robb Wirt

I used to be the only person in California that didn’t really care for Mexican food. Notice I said “used to.” I am a changed man, thanks in part to Mucho. Mucho is located in the hip beach town of Manhattan Beach, near the pier, is an unexpected reservoir of tasty delight. Once you walk through the doors, you’re taken away to food heaven, assuming you have a reservation. Otherwise, heaven will wait. Luckily, I made the list and was seated immediately. Patience isn’t one of my virtues… Mucho was perfectly lit. Dark enough to make me look good, but light enough to read the menu. As standard fare at a Mexican place, chips and salsa were brought to the table, however, the chips were anything but standard. They were warm with a hint of cinnamon. I mixed the hot and mild salsa together with some guacamole to get the party started right! Oh, and I must not forget to tell you about the drinks. Mucho has a vast selection of high-end sipping tequilas (take a flight tasting), speciality margaritas (i.e., chipotle pineapple, lychee, pomegranate, watermelon, mango, etc.), and Argentine, Chilean, and Napa Valley wines. I opted for something different and went with the chipotle pineapple margarita. It was the best flavored margarita that I’d ever had. Besides the uniquely delicious flavor, it probably had something to do with the fresh lime juice, homemade sweet and sour mix, Hawaiian amber cane syrup, and imported sea salt. Smooth and delicious! When it came time to order food, I really didn’t know where to start.

Everything sounded mmmmm so good. I looked to our waitress, Jessica for suggestions. She was so upbeat and friendly and knowledgeable about the food she was serving. She explained that the fresh fish is delivered daily and everything is made in house. Mucho’s menu is a fusion of refined versions of classic Mexican dishes such as guacamole, shrimp cocktails, tacos, enchiladas, and carne asada, and more unusual offerings—poblano style mole with lamb. Chilean sea bass served with fresh fruit salsa, and halibut encrusted in pumpkin seeds and served in chile guajillo emulsion. All are sure to please, thanks to executive chef John Butler. I seriously wanted to try a little bit of everything. We started off with two appetizers, ceviche and BBQ shrimp tacos. OMG! The ceviche rocked me out! The smoked salmon was perfectly balanced by cucumber dill sorbet. My taste buds were invigorated to say the least. Our main course consisted of Prima Carnitas (Kurobuta pork slow-cooked, tomatillo salsa, served with guacamole, heirloom pico de gallo, crema fresco), – Get it while you can because it’s made FRESH everyday so it’s possible that they might run out! – Prime New York Strip (lightly smoked Prime New York Strip with parsnip garlic purée, crispy cippolini, cilantro-crusted sweetbread, cauliflower, white bean artichoke, romaine, a Ceja Cabernet and tamarind jus), and Pescado [stingray]. Just when I didn’t think I could eat any more it was time for dessert. The special of the night was Deconstructed Blueberry Cheesecake which is blueberry lime sauce, topped with graham cracker crumbs and a side of crema fresca sorbet. This offered the perfect balance of flavors and sweets to send me over the edge. But wait, Jessica pulled me back with some freshly made churros. Now these churros weren’t your typical carnival variety. Oh hell no, these were made to order, tossed in Mexican sugar and served with chocolate and caramel dipping sauce. They really were a meal by themselves. That is Mucho in Manhattan Beach!

How do calculate the cost?
Divide the total distance in miles by your car’s miles
per gallon to find out how many gallons of gas you will
need for your trip. Then, multiply that number by the
average cost of a gallon of gas. Don’t forget to
multiply by two for a round trip.

Writing Addition and Subtraction Expressions

Writing Addition and Subtraction Expressions

Expressions can be modeled using a bar diagram like the one below.  This example shows the number of biographies (x) currently in our classroom library and the increase of 13 new biographies from the school book fair.  This expression x + 13 represents the total number of biographies the library has now.

 This expression can also be written as 13 + x to represent this situation.   One way to test the equivalency of the expressions is to substitute values for x and see if the sum of both equations are still the same.   If x = 2,   x+ 13 = 13+ x,   2 + 13 = 13 + 2,   If x= -1   -1 + 13 = 13 + -1
As a result of the commutative property of addition these expressions are also proven equivalent.

Write my own algebraic expression...
1. Start with an input such as "12" (miles from home to downtown)
2. Add in a variable such as "d" (distance traveled)
3. Put it together into a situation like I want to get downtown but have already traveled d miles.  How far do I still have to go?
4. Define your variable(s)  D= distance traveled.
5. Finally, Write the expression   12 - d
Now test out your algebraic expression....  If d= 6.5 how far is the distance from downtown?
12- d   Substitute in 6.5 for d,   12-6.5=  5
If d= 6.5, I have to go only 5 more miles.

Sample Practice Questions about writing expressions.  Write an algebraic expression to represent each of the following situations.
  • The height (h) increased by 6 inches.
  • 43 more than (t);  t= time
  • Carrie sold 50 bags of popcorn today.  Carrie sold (p) fewer bags than Terry.
  • Seven less than a number (n)

Graphing on a Coordinate Plane

Graphing Stories

Does a graph always begin at the origin?

What is the steepest part of the graph where it shows the greatest increase?

We have been learning from graphing videos and answering some of these questions.

Here is some graphing vocabulary to help springboard our discussions.
y-intercept-  the point on a graph where the line crosses the y-axis.
slope- a measure of the steepness of a line.  (Change in 2 y values divided by Change in the 2 matching x values)

Keeping a Writer's Notebook

"As a writer, words are your paint. Use all the colors.” ~Rhys Alexander.

 Being a writer is very much like being an artist.  I wanted to share my seed story starters, summer math problems, and resonating writing ideas.  I look forward to crafting new stories, solving math problems, and sharing things I've learned.

Summer moments make for great seeds for a Notebook of ideas.

  • "After a hot evening on the field, a team that is down by one run comes up to bat"
  • "A girl sings to the movie as her favorite song begins to play"
  • "The alarm sounds at 5:30am, as my feet hit the floor I prepare for the big day"

Here are some great examples of writing notebook ideas from an inspiring writer/teacher on Jordan's blog page: Writing Notebook Ideas

Math problems are very rewarding after figuring out the solutions and then telling how you found the answer.

  • Summer programs include instrumental music, art, and dance.  Out of 40 students, 15% chose art. How many students are signed up for art? how many signed up for music or dance?
  • A bedroom is 8 feet tall, 12 feet wide, and 9 feet long.  How many square feet of paint are needed to paint the 4 walls and ceiling?

Graphing Equations and Inequalities. Which do you prefer?

What types of graphs do you like to create? One of my favorite parts of Math is graphing and finding patterns in problems.  Graphs and Charts are found in many parts of our every day life.

Pie graphs and bar graphs that are used to compare things like people's opinions for example.  Line Graphs and scatter plots are a type of graph that shows the relationship between two quantities or show can show changes over time.  The pattern on a line graph shows an increase (line goes upward) or a decrease (line goes downward).

How do I graph an equation?

1. Equations such as y = 2x + 3 can be graphed by making a table of values for both x and y variables.

Steps to make a table of ordered pairs

a. Choose values for x that include both positive and negative numbers.
b. Substitute the value for x into the equation.
c. Use order of operations to solve the equation and find a value for y.
     Example   x = -1   y = 2x  + 3
                                  y = 2(-1) + 3   Substitute -1 for x
                                  y = -2 + 3       Then multiply 1 * -2
                                  y = 1               Add -2 + 3
2.  Use a coordinate grid to plot the ordered pairs in the table.
Example:  Ordered pairs:  (-1,1), (0,3), (1,5), and (2, 7)

The solid green line shows the pattern of the equation.  It is increasing or going upwards.
Y- Intercept-  The point where the line crosses the                   y-axis.  The green line crosses at (0,3)
Slope-  The slope of the line is how steep the line rises in the graph.  Find the slope in the equation:
Y=2x + 3.  The number that is multiplied by x is the slope. The slope of the green line is 2.

How do I graph an Inequality?

Inequalities have an inequality symbol like <, >, ,≥, or  instead of an equal (=) sign.
1. Inequalities like y ≤  2x +3 are graphed by making a table of values, the same as we did when there was an equal sign.
2.  The points are plotted on a coordinate plane in the same way that the equation y = 2x +3 was done.
3.  Here's the difference, the line that you draw to show the pattern of the points will be solid since the it is   (less than or equal to), and you will color in underneath the line to show all the possible solutions to the inequality y ≤  2x +3.

The purple shaded area shows all the possible solutions of  y ≤  2x +3
The solid blue line shows that the inequality sign is ≤ less than or equal to.  The line is solid since the solution set also includes all the ordered pairs in the equation y = 2x + 3
The slope and y-intercept are the same as the y = 2x + 3 graph.

When the inequality is greater than, the purple shading will be above the line like the image below.

The equation for the image below would be y > 2/3x - 2.  The blue line is dotted because the
    (greater than) symbol does not have a line underneath it.  It is only greater than and not equal to.

The dotted blue line shows that the inequality does not include the solution set y = 2/3x - 2.
The slope is 2/3 because the equation the graph shows that the line is going upwards; the rise is 2 and the run is 3.
Slope is rise ÷ run
The y-intercept is -2 because the blue line crosses the y-axis at -2.

How do I use a graphing calculator to Graph equations or inequalities?  Which of the graphing calculators do you like best?

1.  Go to a free graphing calculator website like Desmos, Meta-Calculator, or NCES Create A Graph.

2.  Write the equation or inequality into the website.  Then, click the "Graph" option.

3.   Many websites allow you to print the graph, or even save it as a picture.

To sum it up, graphing equations and inequalities on computers can be an efficient way to create your graph.  The graphs can then be used to compare data and help you think about the information in new ways.

Here some equations to graph.  What do you notice about the graphs?  Do the pairs of equations have any common solutions?
First pair of equations
y= 5x
y=2x + 3

Second pair of equations
y=3x + 4
y=3x - 2

y > 2x + 3

y > x^2

Rubio: US Should Let Private Companies Build Nationwide Pipeline For Oil, Natural Gas

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Marco Rubio says the government should give cellphone companies more airwaves and allow private companies to build a nationwide pipeline for oil and natural gas.

The Florida Republican on Monday also told Google’s Washington offices that nixing dozens of taxes and regulations would create “thousands upon thousands of high-paying jobs.”

Rubio also is pledging to defeat any efforts to limit access to the Internet and to allow private businesses to work with government labs to develop new products.

The pro-business message comes as Rubio looks to shift focus away from a stalled bipartisan immigration overhaul he helped to craft.

Rubio is a potential presidential contender in 2016.

The Presidency of Dennis P. McCabe

By Frank Chamberlain

Dr. Dennis McCabe became interim-president of Tarleton in January of 1991 after Barry Thompson resigned. In April, he was officially inaugurated as the fourteenth president of the university (Guthrie 265).

McCabe graduated from New Mexico Highlands University in 1965 with a bachelor’s degree in physical education and minor in chemistry and secondary education. He attended on a baseball scholarship and played all four years of his college career. He moved several times in the next few years, teaching math in California, Texas, and New Mexico. McCabe returned to Highlands and earned his master’s degree in natural science. In 1972, he received his doctorate in educational administration from the University of New Mexico (Guthrie 267-268).

McCabe began his work at the collegiate level in 1972 when he became an assistant professor in the Pan American University education department. He moved to East Texas State in 1976 where he became an associate professor in their department of education. Incidentally, Dr. Barry Thompson was his department head at this job prior to both men’s tenures as Tarleton president. McCabe moved up the ranks at this university as he became the assistant to the Vice President of Academic Affairs and then was promoted to head of the Department of Secondary and Higher Education. From 1984 until 1988, he served as the Dean of the College of Education at Lamar University (Guthrie 268).

In 1988, McCabe was hired at Tarleton as Vice President for University Operations by then-president Thompson. It was speculated that this position was created especially for McCabe as a means to get him to Tarleton and prepare him for a future term as president. Once McCabe assumed the office of president, he eliminated his old position (Guthrie 266).

The McCabe administration had to deal with a serious monetary problem during the 1990s. The entire state struggled during this time, but Tarleton was hit especially hard. On the one hand, federal courts had ordered Texas to apportion more money to areas such as public schools and prisons. This left less money than before to be spent on institutions of higher learning. Secondly, the colleges that offered large graduate or research programs were allocated a larger percentage of the funding. Tarleton was a primarily undergraduate institution that suffered greatly from these circumstances. In order to compensate for the lack of funding, Tarleton officials were forced to raise student tuition and fees. At the beginning of the decade, tuition was $18.00 per hour. By 1999, this amount had increased to $60.00. Although this 233 % increase might seem incredible, it is worth noting that the same trend was experienced nationwide. Therefore, it would be unfair to single out Tarleton for raising student costs. In fact, the cost of attending this university was modest compared to the rates required by most American schools. This situation was remedied in 1997, when the state legislature modified its funding formula to be more equitable to schools such as Tarleton. McCabe seized this opportunity to give the faculty a substantial raise in salary. Prior to this, Tarleton salaries had been among the lowest in the state (273-276).

The concept of “distance learning” was brought to Tarleton in the 1990s. With this type of equipment, students can see and converse with teachers who are located at totally different sites. This technological achievement utilized cameras, microphones, and telephone lines to connect teachers to students from different campuses. Both students and teachers were able to see and hear each other as if they were in the same room. Distance learning has proved invaluable to students to earn credit in classes that were not traditionally taught at Tarleton (Guthrie 279).

McCabe also oversaw the construction of the Student Development Center, one of the centerpieces of the Tarleton campus. This idea had been conceived by former president Thompson back in 1982, but had been postponed by more pressing issues. By 1991, the A&M Board of Regents approved a funding bill for the project. This endowment would not cover the entire $15.7 million dollar cost, so a supplementary source of money had to be created. In order to help finance this massive undertaking, the university began a series of student fee increases. Some students were not thrilled about being asked to pay this extra amount, but the increase ran according to plan. This money was collected into a special account until the actual construction began in 1993. The construction process took a little over a year to complete, and opened on September 13, 1994. The 90,000 square foot Student Center was built north of Vanderbilt Street, directly north of the Clyde H. Wells Fine Arts Center. It contained many features that make it a hub of student activity. It includes a food court, weight room, game room, campus bookstore, student health center, post office, and a teaching and learning center/computer lab. There were several meeting rooms, including a 500 capacity convention room. Numerous administrative offices were located within the center, including the Dean of Students, Career Services, and Student Publications. Many artifacts from Tarleton’s history were displayed throughout the interior, as well as three huge hand-carved murals that illustrate various events and traditions. The Organizational Sidewalk ran along Vanderbilt Street in front of the Student Center. The names and symbols of sixty student fraternities, sororities and campus organizations were carved into the wet concrete in 1994. In 2002, the Student Center was renamed the Barry B. Thompson Student Center in honor of the ex-president who had first envisioned it (Guthrie 280-283, Traditions 43-44).

A second huge addition to the campus landscape was erected during the McCabe administration. The long-needed new Science Building was built late in the decade. The equipment in the old building had been obsolete for many years. In fact, the building could have truthfully been considered physically unsafe for teachers and students. According to a consulting firm in 1990, the building lacked proper ventilation, adequate chemical ventilation hoods, or fire detectors and sprinklers. It was also found to contain asbestos. The university had to “grin and bear” these problems for the rest of the decade due to financial difficulties and more pressing concerns. It costs more to build or fix science facilities than to replace those in an ordinary classroom. McCabe had extensively lobbied the Board of Regents to help finance a new building for years, before finally convincing them in 1997. Still, the A&M Board agreed to pay only half of the expenses. This meant that more student fees had to be levied. Despite a bit of student grumbling, three dollars were added to each semester hour of tuition. The 160,000 square foot facility was built on the west side of Lillian Street, right across from the Student Center at the cost of almost $30 million. It contained ten lecture halls, thirty-four teaching labs, two computer labs, three labs for research, and numerous offices for the various science departments. Perhaps the most distinctive feature was a domed planetarium, a rarity amongst college campuses. This cutting edge facility opened in the spring of 2001, and will undoubtedly serve the needs of science students for years to come (Guthrie 283-285).

Tarleton was also expanded outside of Stephenville for the first time during the 1990s. The Dora Lee Cultural and Education Center in Granbury represented the largest private donation ever given to the university. Ms. Langdon donated an entire city block and five buildings that had originally been used as a cultural center for the performing arts. In 1996, she decided to give this $1.3 million property to Tarleton. Several Granbury businesses graciously donated the necessary funds to operate the facilities. The university has used the Langdon Center for a wide variety of purposes, ranging form fine arts recitals to graduate classes (Guthrie 286-287).

McCabe worked with the A&M system to establish a new branch of Tarleton in Killeen, Texas. The former University of Central Texas now was brought under the control of the larger Stephenville campus. In addition to utilizing the Killeen campus, classes are also held in Ft. Hood, and Temple Junior College. Temple, Copperas Cove, and Killeen public schools also donate classroom space for the college. This branch has been renamed the Tarleton State University System Center-Central Texas. This name was frequently shortened to “Tarleton-CT” (Guthrie 287-288).

Tarleton has been greatly expanded and modernized during the McCabe years. At the time of this writing, the university continues to experience new levels of success under his tutelage.

Russia, Brazil getting ready for Igla and Pantsir-S1 delivery

July 04, 2013, 23:03 UTC+3
Russia has a variety of maritime equipment to offer Brazil
Material has 1 page

ST. PETERSBURG, July 4 (Itar-Tass) - Russia and Brazil are in the “active stage of preparations” for the delivery of Igla and Pantsir-S1 man-portable air defence systems, Alexander Fomin, director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, said.

“We have not yet moved over to contract negotiations. There is a certain procedure we need to complete and we hope to complete it smoothly,” Fomin told ARMS-TASS at the International Maritime Defence Show in St. Petersburg on Thursday, July 4.

He noted that Russia has a variety of maritime equipment to offer Brazil. “Probably not finished ships - the Brazilian Navy consists mainly of ships made by our competitors - but at least joint production. Why not? Brazil is an industrialised country with a strong defence industry, aircraft, firearms and maritime capabilities. And we, after all, are members of the same community -- BRICS - and can offer different joint project to each other,” Fomin said.

Pantsir-S is considered to be a universal system capable to fighting lanes, helicopters, ballistic and cruise missiles, guided aerial bombs, and other high-precision weapons. It can also be used for destroying underwater and surface light-armoured targets and manpower.

The system consists of 12 surface-to-air guided missiles and two 30-millimetre automatic guns. It is provided with a multi-range radar capable of detecting aerial targets with effective surface of dispersion of up to 2-3 square metres at a distance of more than 30 kilometres and track them down from a distance of over 24 kilometres.

It can also work in a passive mode using an infrared channel in the long-wave band with logical processing of the signal and automatic tracking.

The system can conduct fire at two targets at the same time and attack up to 12 targets within a minute. The system's effective range for missiles is 20 kilometres and the maximum altitude is eight kilometres, and for artillery shells up to three and four kilometres respectively.

The probability of destroying the target is 0.6 to 0.8 depending on its type and obstacles. The time of response is 5-6 seconds.

Igla is designed to engage fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, cruise missiles and UAVs at their optical visibility and in the night-time conditions in head-on and tail chase in background clutter and thermal countermeasures environment.
