Autumn currently travels South Florida with Wildness is Necessary, their art, nature, and justice program for all ages, and works as a naturalist and environmental educator. It is their wildest hope that the narratives they create bring viewers and participants closer to an understanding that humans are of nature and not separate from it, dismantling the idea of the scala naturae, and planting our feet firmly on the Earth beside our non-human brethren and maybe creating a little magic and silliness too.

Introduction to Drawing and Art History is a monthly 3-hour workshop, where students learn how to create compelling still-life images with charcoal or graphite inspired by the composition, technique and observation of specific periods in Art History.
Each session focuses on short fragments of the history of art, creating a quick and dynamic timeline that reviews the most relevant elements and influences in art, while enriching the mind and providing inspiration for still-life compositions. While it is recommended to take various workshops to enhance the art history and technique aspects of each lesson, students have the option to take workshops independently, for each session is designed to work autonomously reviewing basic elements of drawing, perspective and composition.

My presence here as chairman of the Board of Regents is testimony to how much I value learning. Dean never owned a car, never bought on credit, and never earned more than a few thousand dollars a year, yet he was rich in family and friends. He worked hard, every day, to achieve his goal of supporting his loved ones. Besides shoeing horses and bending iron, he worked in a leather tannery — a hot, dirty job — and he did so because he was responsible. The lawyers and court administrators knew that he was a man of integrity.
I never heard him speak harshly to — or of — another person. And as difficult as it may be to believe in our time of vulgar obscenities, W.
He was kind and respectful to everyone. Any of you who have had a close relationship with grandparents can probably imagine my excitement every summer when my mom, brother, sisters and I boarded the train in Springfield, Massachusetts with our shoeboxes of sandwiches and cookies tucked under our arms!
They were a rock-solid team. Once we arrived, I stuck close to Granddad, following him everywhere, hanging out by his forge, watching him smoke hams, traveling the back roads of the state when he was called to shoe thoroughbreds and huge work horses, sleeping by his side at night,.
He seemed so big and powerful to me, full of wisdom and humor and affection. I was his shadow and he was my role model. See, Super Bowl week isn't about the game. We like to pretend it is, but it's not. It's about letting off steam and having a good time. It's about blowing stuff out of proportion and creating stories that aren't there. It's about staging a ridiculous, exploitative event called "Media Day" just to complain about how ridiculous and exploitative it is.
It's about mainstream Web sites, newspapers, magazines, radio stations and TV stations sending their best people to "capture" an event that can't possibly be captured, and it's about the elite players in the sports industry calling in favors and connections for the best hotel rooms, best restaurants and best tickets.
It's about the elite party throwers trying to one-up one another with the most extravagant bashes possible, and the elite scalpers and ticket brokers battling to find the best available tickets. It's about two fortunate fan bases trickling in throughout the week to support their teams, and how much fun it is to live vicariously through them, to see the gleam in their eyes and the hop in their collective step, because there's absolutely nothing like seeing your team play in the Super Bowl for the first time.
Most of all, it's about energy. And that's what was missing in Jacksonville and Houston and Detroit, apparently : There wasn't that ongoing sense that something special was happening, that we were lucky to be there, that we were experiencing something that couldn't be properly explained.
On the Friday night before the Pats-Rams Super Bowl, when Bourbon Street was swarming with people -- really, it was complete chaos -- and everything seemed to be teetering out of control, there was a barely visible line between "revelry" and "riot" that everyone successfully straddled throughout the night, and I remember thinking to myself over and over again, "Now this is a Super Bowl weekend!
But you get the point -- I felt exceptionally fortunate to be there, like the moment was bigger than all of us. You should always feel that way during the Super Bowl, right? AP Photo. There are a few necessary things to pack when you're in the same city as Tank Johnson. Which reminds me, the people I know with Miami experience recommended the following tips for Super Bowl week: Keep your wallet in your front pocket at all times; don't tell anyone your room number; don't get on I unless someone is holding a revolver to your head; hold your drink at all times; don't wear an expensive watch or expensive jewelry; double-lock your room door at night; look both ways as you're exiting an ATM; and if you hear what sounds like a car backfiring in a nightclub, lower your head and start running.
They wanted it shore up confidence in the British economy. What they have done, this austerity thing has basically done the opposite. The strategy has not worked very well. It has not exactly worked out like that. But the other reason is more personal. It is hard to be a guru for anything. When every time you talk, everybody goes like this and braces themselves. People ushering their children out of room, people trying to distract their easier offended older relatives.
Oh, Alan Simpson is talking, pay no attention, lalala. First when he said the thing about the green weenie. Remember that one? You dig into the big four -- Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and defense.
And anybody giving you anything different than that, you want it walk out the can door, stick your finger down your throat and give them the green weenie.
So stick your finger down your throat and give them one? But the green weenie, it turns out, was just the start of the Alan Simpson wonder. He said something that that rhymes with bits.
Alan Simpson gave an interview to "The L. Times" in which he implored his party to stop talking about gay marriage and all these other social issues. Simpson told "The L. Times", quote, "What is this homophobic strain in our party? One thing he might be referencing is "World of Warcraft," the devious great eel in world of Warcraft. That cannot possibly be what Alan Simpson is referencing.
It makes me wish I just to bang on my desk and have another Alan Simpson pop out. Instead, he is an inexplicable but still inappropriate body metaphor generator. From the green weenie to million tits, to the Enema man and the snoopy snoopy poop dog, to the worshipping of the great eel.
This Easter egg looking thing is -- drum roll, please -- the known universe, going as far back as we can look, back almost to the very, very beginning, to the Big Bang. This is a photo of our baby universe, the first light traveling the vast giant distance from the edges of what we know to exist all the way to us. And it takes a long time for that light to get to us, so this is a picture taken now, but it is really a picture of the past.
But you also see far away stars, stars whose light comes from so far away to get to us that it is pretty old light by the time it gets here. It is so old that the star that made that light might actually be gone by the time we see it. That old light, you can almost think of it as fossilized light, the imprint of something long gone. The great Muhammad Ali used to joke that he was so fast he could turn out the light and jump into bed before the darkness could catch him, he was racing the light -- that was the joke -- he was raising the light, and winning, and had to win or the darkness would catch him.
Last night, I cut the light off in my bedroom, hit the switch, was in the bed before the room was dark. And, of course, the darkness could not catch him because he is Muhammad Ali. He is the greatest. I want to show you a little bit of footage that is from They claimed that right, even if they had to conduct the marriage themselves and throw their own after party.
This is Did you get an invitation? Room Wedding reception for gay people, room He was killed by an IED. At the time that he was killed, the military still banned service by openly gay people in our country.
Corporal Andrew Wilford ph was gay. He had been out to his parents and friends since a teenager, but he went in the closet specifically because he wanted to sign up.
He wanted to serve his country. And Jeff Wilford said, as I watched live feeds from outside the Supreme Court on the marriage arguments, I would like to you know, this situation, the action of the people, right of the LBGT community to stand before the courts, this is what Andrew chose to serve and die for.
Our greatest regret, he never found that one true love, but was smart enough, wise enough, human enough to see and know that he and all others are no more or less than other citizens of this country, knew this above and beyond the marriage question. He knew this was a thing worth service and his life. In the arguments this week at the Supreme Court, one of the most conservative justices cited during oral arguments the example of, asked questions about, the example of gay military personnel and their families.
How will this affect them? Andrew Wilford helped make that possible, even if Andrew Wilford did not make it this far to see it himself. This is the case, right? Look at the specifics here. So, they were a married couple. Thea is gone now. She is no longer here, but Edie just brought this case. And in order to do so, she has to find against something very big. We lived together for 40 years.
I am today an out lesbian, OK, who just sued the United States of America, which is kind of overwhelming for me. There are all sorts of people and all sorts of fights that technically are not still around, but they live and we can see them. We can see their light in some of the biggest deal and most difficult things we do today. Whether or not you see equal rights for gay people as your particular fight, whether or not you agree with that particular fight, this was a big historic week for that fight, and therefore for our country.
All the work, all the generations of work to get here, in fact, got us here. It worked. When Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the oral arguments this week christened those marriages, skim milk marriages, I decided that what I need to do here on this show is make a full fat, full cream drink in honor of that phrase.
Equal parts cream, and cream de cacao. Cream de cacao comes in dark and light. And the difference between dark and light cream de cacao is the color. But in this case, it looks nicer if you use the dark version. This is Marie Brizard, which is kind of a nice brand that you take what you can get when it comes to cream de cacao.
