A Day Without Gays

You don't have to be gay- just American!
Equal rights for all!

clipped from www.facebook.com We are calling for a nationwide strike and economic boycott by all Gays and Lesbians AND OUR ALLIES, whether straight, bisexual or transgendered, on December 10th, 2008, International Human Rights Day. WHY SHOULD WE DO IT? Because LGBT workers, business owners, consumers and taxpayers contribute over $700 billion to the U.S. economy each year and should not be treated as second class citizens. Because marriage should be a Right for all Americans, regardless of gender, race OR religion. Because until ALL are equal, NONE are equal. Strike: call in gay, shut down your business, take the day off. Boycott: don't buy anything or spend money. Participate: visit www.daywithoutagay.org for a list of volunteer and/or protest opportunities. Your RSVP Attending

Change.gov What Our America Needs!!!

I LOVE this! Obama Rocks!! Wooo Hooo!
We Did it and We Can Do It!!!

clipped from www.webpronews.com Well, he didn’t waste much time. President-elect Barack Obama already has his new website up and running: Change.gov. And guess what? You can apply for a job at the White House there. It’s not the blog section, or the biography sections for Obama and Joe Biden. The revolutionary parts are the participatory crowd-sourcing sections. Have a vision for America? You can pound out your version of “Common Sense” and upload it to the site. Have a story you want told? Under the same “American Moment” tab, you can upload that too. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.

Please visit LaneyPottery.com to see the Pottery Apple Bakers for yourself.


Mmmmmm.... Baked apples. Me, I'll use green apples. Nice tart Granny Smiths like you'd use for a pie. Smothered in butter and cinnamon and brown sugar... maybe add a nice slice of sharp cheddar to melt on top in the last 10 minutes or so of baking...
Aw hell. My mouth is watering. Now I want them BAD!!!

No Ordinary Love (with no ordinary images)

I had never seen this before, and the photographer had no background information. So after reading through the comments on Flickr, someone who lived in the area was able to provide a few more details. And another user found the link to the artist's website.

clipped from www.flickr.com this is in the cemetery at mount macedon, victoria it is about 80km west of melbourne or something like that it is the grave of a guy, and his wife commissioned this sculpture for it as an expression of her love for him clipped from docs.google.com clipped from www.users.bigpond.com Artist: Peter Schipperheyn, born Melbourne Australia 1955-  Title:  "Asleep"  carved 1987  Dimensions: 460 mm in height by 2020 mm in length by 800 mm in depth [life-size figure].  Medium: Carrara Statuario Marble .  Present location: Mt Macedon Cemetery, Mt Macedon. Victoria. clipped from docs.google.com clipped from www.flickr.com the gravestone IS amazing...the detail and the pose are both provocative and disturbing at the same time. The way her hair is spread out and her right hand gripping the edge is so incredibly realistic! What a wonderful piece of work. clipped from docs.google.com clipped from www.flickr.com the gravestone by itself. the perspective of this, along with all the other ordinary gravestones is just amazing. the contrast between the feminine curves and the rectangular edges is so stark and stunning clipped from www.users.bigpond.com clipped from www.flickr.com Sad, yet amazingly beautiful. I've never seen anything like this before

Tattoo Tuesday The Missing Canvas!

We've all got tattoos like this. Collectors that disappeared, or that we had a falling out with sometime in the middle of a fun piece. This guy was a total "Parrothead" (Jimmy Buffett fan) And his sleeve was designed around the theme. Somewhere, someone has probably finished this tattoo that I began so many years ago. If any of ya'll see it finished somewhere, drop me a link or a pic!
