Annibale Carracci, Self Portrait 1597
Form: This self portrait incorporates a low key or earth toned palette combined with a very close point of view. Annibale demonstrates a good mastery of the human face as well as the depiction of light and shadow across it which is called chiaroscuro (the play of light and shadow or shading) to create realism in this work. According to the Brittanica, chiaroscuro (from Italian chiaro, "light"; scuro, "dark"), which is technique employed in the visual arts to represent light and shadow as they define three-dimensional objects.
Carracci also uses an intense spotlight on his face while the rest of the picture plane is murky surrounding him. This is called tenebrism and it is a way of creating a focus on a particular element in a work and also gives the work a sense of heightened drama.
The painting also feels like an immediate kind of "snapshot" of Carracci. Carracci seems to be looking directly at you but what he is really doing is looking directly into a mirror and painting directly from observation. Since this is the case, Carracci was probably painting without using any previous studies or drawings. This is called ala prima-(in the first) which means painting directly from observation onto canvas.
Iconography and Context: One of the skills that most painters needed to develop during the Renaissance period was the ability to paint portraits and accurate likenesses. Often this skill was developed by painting with a the only model that one might have available which is one's self. Obviously, since there are others in this image, Carracci could have had one of his assistants model for him so why then did he paint a self portrait?
The answer probably lies in the basic premise of the Renaissance man. The humanistic and platonic idea of perfectibility gave rise to self reflection and observation. A portrait then is not just about the immediate appearance but also it is a symbol of the person. In this image we see that Carracci is studying himself and also demonstrating his ability to create a strong psychological likeness as well a physical likeness.

"Social justice with a historical flair." This is artist V.L. Cox's description for the style and inspiration of her art.
Cox is well known for her take on social issues such as equality, racism, and religion. She recently had an exhibition titled Break Glass: A Conversation to End Hate at Longwood University, just over an hour south of Richmond. The exhibit used different forms of art, such as sculptures and mixed media, to highlight social tensions in today's America.

Pieter Brueghel the Elder: Netherlandish Proverbs 1559
Form: This is a realistic yet cartoonish rendering. In general the rules of perspective are adhered to and there is some chiaroscuro. Each object and individual are clearly rendered using the glazing techniques that Van Eyck perfected nearly a century before, however, the carefully glazed rendering of the surfaces and objects are secondary to the message.Iconography and Context: The iconography relates to the Northern habit of creating and using parables. A parable is a kind of adage which Webster's dictionary describes as a "saying often in metaphorical form that embodies a common observation."
This painting contains nearly more than twenty proverbs and each is designed to provide some sort of moral direction in visual form. This painting probably served two purposes. The visual depiction of proverbs as symbols was probably created both as a form of instruction but also as a clever conversation piece.
Below is a diagram that identifies some of the proverbs in the painting.
1. Daar zijn de daken met vladen gedekt.
There the roofs are tiled with tarts!
The image is one connoting a plentitude or a state of wealth.2. Daar steekt de bezem uit.
There the broom sticks out.
This signifies that the head of the household is not at home which in turn indicates that a party is in progress or soon will be.
3. Onder het mes zitten.
Sitting under the knife.
A severe testing under great pressure.
4. 't is naar het vallen van de kaart.
It depends on the fall of the cards.
So much of life is a matter of luck.
5. Een pilaarbijter.
A pillar biter.
A religious hypocrite.
6. Zij draagt water in de eene, en vuur in de andere hand.
She carries water in one hand and fire in the other.
Someone who is two-faced.
7. Men kan met het hoofd niet door den muur loopen.
One cannot walk headfirst through a wall.
A man foolishly trying to ignore the hard realities of the natural world.
8. De een scheert de schapen, de ander de varkens.
The one shears the sheep, the other the pigs.
In life some individuals have opportunities for material success while others do not.
"The Venus of Urbino," a different interpretation.
TIZIANO Vecellio (Titian) The Venus of Urbino 1538 Oil on canvas, 119 x 165 cm Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence, Italian Renaissance
In the background of Titian's painting entitled "The Venus of Urbino" (1538) are two women looking inside or placing things inside a chest. This chest or cassone is most likely a dowry chest, in which case the women are then preparing the chest with gifts for the upcoming nuptials. Venus, the goddess of beauty, nude in the foreground, presides over the event, but there's something wrong with this picture. Venus is really the Duke of Urbino's courtesan (mistress) and the title of the painting is just a disguise to make a nearly pornographic portrait palatable. This kind of double meaning in a painting is common during the Renaissance especially in portrayals of women.
What is also interesting about this images is that the artist chose to juxtapose the eroticized female form with commodities or luxury items. By playing the textures and body of the female against expensive fabrics, fur, fruit, and dowery chest containing the family jewels and porcelain, the artist is also making the human female form another commodity which can be bought and sold. In this way, the wealth of the patron is also eroticized. This device is played off again and again throughout the history of art.
The cassone is a familiar object in the upper class Renaissance home. Provided by the bride's family and kept throughout her life the chest is symbol of her marriage. The decorations on the chest are designed to educate the woman who owns it. The images that adorn cassoni relate familiar classical and biblical narratives concerning the lives of great women. For example, San Francisco's "Legion of Honor" has a panel from a cassone by Jacopo del Sellaio that depicts the "Legend of Brutus and Portia," circa 1485. Both Plutarch (AD 46-119), a Greek historian, and Shakespeare (1554-1616) in his play "Julius Caesar," depict Portia as a strong and loyal wife. In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Portia exclaims, "Think you I am no stronger than my sex, Being so fathered and so husbanded?" (Act 2, i, 319-320) and stabs herself in the leg to prove to Brutus that she can bear any discomfort for him. After she learns of Brutus' defeat, she kills herself by swallowing hot coals.
Another cassone from the Louvre depicts the Old Testament story of Queen Esther and her self-sacrificing patriotic acts that saved the Jewish people. The subtext of these tales is not just loyalty but self-sacrificing loyalty in the face of adversity.
Titian's painting has been the subject of much observation. It's interesting that so much positive "press" has been associated with this image considering how much it has been vilified in the past. Mark Twain, in his biography Tramp Abroad, recorded his response to his encounter with the Titian painting:
You enter [the Uffizi] and proceed to that most-visited little gallery that exists in the world --the Tribune-- and there, against the wall, without obstructing rap or leaf, you may look your fill upon the foulest, the vilest, the obscenest picture the world possesses -- Titian's Venus. It isn't that she is naked and stretched out on a bed --no, it is the attitude of one of her arms and hand. If I ventured to describe that attitude there would be a fine howl --but there the Venus lies for anybody to gloat over that wants to --and there she has a right to lie, for she is a work of art, and art has its privileges. I saw a young girl stealing furtive glances at her; I saw young men gazing long and absorbedly at her, I saw aged infirm men hang upon her charms with a pathetic interest. How I should like to describe her --just to see what a holy indignation I could stir up in the world...yet the world is willing to let its sons and its daughters and itself look at Titian's beast, but won't stand a description of it in words....There are pictures of nude women which suggest no impure thought -- I am well aware of that. I am not railing at such. What I am trying to emphasize is the fact that Titian's Venus is very far from being one of that sort. Without any question it was painted for a bagnio and it was probably refused because it was a trifle too strong. In truth, it is a trifle too strong for any place but a public art gallery.
Now that you know how Twain felt about this work. This poem by Browning discusses a similar painting. It is used by the narrator of the poem as a point of departure to discuss how he feels about his last wife and how he feels women should behave. As you read it, try to relate the painting above to it.
"My Last Duchess" - Robert Browning - 1842 1 That's my last Duchess painted on the wall,
2 Looking as if she were alive. I call
3 That piece a wonder, now; Frà Pandolf's hands
4 Worked busily a day, and there she stands.
5 Will't please you sit and look at her? I said
6 "Frà Pandolf" by design, for never read
7 Strangers like you that pictured countenance,
8 The depth and passion of its earnest glance,
9 But to myself they turned (since none puts by
10 The curtain I have drawn for you, but I)
11 And seemed as they would ask me, if they durst,
12 How such a glance came there; so, not the first
13 Are you to turn and ask thus. Sir, 'twas not
14 Her husband's presence only, called that spot
15 Of joy into the Duchess' cheek; perhaps
16 Fra Pandolf chanced to say, "Her mantle laps
17 Over my lady's wrist too much," or "Paint
18 Must never hope to reproduce the faint
19 Half-flush that dies along her throat." Such stuff
20 Was courtesy, she thought, and cause enough
21 For calling up that spot of joy. She had
22 A heart - how shall I say? - too soon made glad,
23 Too easily impressed; she liked whate'er
24 She looked on, and her looks went everywhere.
25 Sir, 'twas all one! My favor at her breast,
26 The dropping of the daylight in the West,
27 The bough of cherries some officious fool
28 Broke in the orchard for her, the white mule
29 She rode with round the terrace - all and each
30 Would draw from her alike the approving speech,
31 Or blush, at least. She thanked men, - good! but thanked
32 Somehow - I know not how - as if she ranked
33 My gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name
34 With anybody's gift. Who'd stoop to blame
35 This sort of trifling? Even had you skill
36 In speech - which I have not - to make your will
37 Quite clear to such an one, and say "Just this
38 Or that in you disgusts me; here you miss,
39 Or there exceed the mark" - and if she let
40 Herself be lessoned so, nor plainly set
41 Her wits to yours, forsooth, and made excuse -
42 E'en then would be some stooping; and I choose
43 Never to stoop. Oh, sir, she smiled, no doubt,
44 Whene'er I passed her; but who passed without
45 Much the same smile? This grew; I gave commands;
46 Then all smiles stopped together. There she stands
47 As if alive. Will't please you rise? We'll meet
48 The company below, then. I repeat,
49 The Count your master's known munificence
50 Is ample warrant that no just pretense
51 Of mine for dowry will be disallowed;
52 Though his fair daughter's self, as I avowed
53 At starting, is my object. Nay, we'll go
54 Together down, sir. Notice Neptune, though,
55 Taming a sea-horse, thought a rarity,
56 Which Claus of Innsbruck cast in bronze for me.

"Man is the measure?" Women's roles during the Renaissance
Context and Iconography: The Male Gaze
The series of images at the left are almost major landmarks in understanding the Renaissance conception of the difference between male and female roles. Images such as these and the writings of Reniassance authors, such as those by Castiglione and Christine de Pizan are in some ways representative of the "ideal" roles for each gender. Since images like this were primarily commissioned by male patrons and made by male artists some historians have named this phenomena the "male gaze."
Leonardo and his contemporaries literally believed that, "Man is the measure of all things." In this drawing we see that Leonardo takes this idea almost quite literally and scientifically. Leonardo, consistent with classical thinking, chooses to represent the nude male figure rather than the nude female. This choice is quite deliberate because much of the thinking concerning classical humanism revolves around the specifically male experience of the world. In fact, authors like Castiglione specifically look on men who have,
. . .such a countenance as this is, will I have our Courtier to have, and not be so soft and womanish as many procure to have: that do not only curl the hair, and pick the brows, but also pamper themselves in every point like the most wanton and dishonest women in the world. One would think that in the way they walk, stand, and in all their gestures so tender and weak, that their limbs were ready to fall apart. Their pronunciation and language are effeminate. These men, seeing that nature has not made them women, ought not to be esteemed in place of good women, but like common Harlots to be banished, not only out of princes' courts, but also out of the company of Gentlemen. To come therefore to the quality of the person,
Catiglione, Excerpt from the "Courtier"
Images of Mary can almost always be traced back to the Gothic depiction of Mary as the "Throne of Wisdom." In most images, such as in these by Giotto and Leonardo, she not only serves as a mother but as a platform or throne for her child. Stokstad refers to this as symbolic of the old testament references to the Lion Throne of King Solomon who is known as a wise and fair ruler and judge, but it is also a communication of the male conceived ideal of what the perfect woman should be.
Even when the Renaissance artist breaks with tradition and begins to think critically about the new roles of men and women, as in the Arnolfini wedding portrait and Christine de Pizan's writings, we still can see that both support the concept that there are appropriate roles for males and females in the world.
God has similarly ordained man and woman to serve Him in different offices and also to aid and comfort one another, each in their ordained task, and to each sex has given a fitting and appropriate nature and inclination to fulfill their offices. Inasmuch as the human species often errs in what it is supposed to do, God gives men strong and hardy bodies for coming and going as well as for speaking boldly. And for this reason, men with this nature learn the laws - and must do so - in order to keep the world under the rule of justice and, in case anyone does not wish to obey the statutes which have been ordained and established by reason of law, are required to make them obey with physical constraint and force of arms, a task which women could never accomplish. Nevertheless, though God has given women great understanding
Christine de Pizan's The Book of the City of Ladies 1405
In the case of the Arnolfini portrait, the role is that of the good wife. Notice that being a wife is also being a good mother and we can see this symbolically in Giovanna Cenami's swelling belly and bunched up drapery which symbolizes pregnancy according to Panofsky.
Both Castiglione and de Pizan seem to warn us off of changing the male and female roles and sticking to what we know or is prescribed in the Bible. In fact, many images of females who break out of these traditional roles, such as the biblical women, Eve, Judith, and Suzanne and the not so biblilical Phyllis are responsible for our down fall and in this case of Eve for our "original sin."
Hans Baldung Grien,
Aristotle and Phyllis. 1503
pen and ink Form: This is a simple sketch in pen and ink that was probably a prelimionary drawing for an engraving or a painting. The anatomy is rather stiff and less gestural than those of his contempoarry Italian counterparts.
Space is created through a size scale relationship of foreground to background and a variation of marks in the nackground buildings indicates a use of atmospheric perspective.
Grien uses cross contour lines (lines that literally follow the direction across the curves of the trunks) to indicate the texture of the tree and cross hatching to develop the value structure of the figures and their drapery in the foreground. These linear techniques would have been important for a printmaker to master.
Iconography: The them of an "ill matched couple," which usually depicts a young and beautiful maiden in the company of an older man is a common them in Renaissance art of the North. In many images the younger woman has her hand on the purse of the older man but in this case the subject matter of the image is a young beautiful woman dressed in Renaissance clothing of the Northern style riding around or taming an older man. Images like this were meant to be a warning to men of the power of inappropriate passion and a warning against the sexual powers of young woman.
Context: More specifically this relates to the story of Aristotle, the Greek philosopher and Phyllis, the wife of his pupil Alexander the Great. According to the Brittanica,
"in late 343 or early 342 Aristotle, at about the age of 42, was invited by Philip II of Macedon to his capital at Pella to tutor his 13-year-old son, Alexander. As the leading intellectual figure in Greece, Aristotle was commissioned to prepare Alexander for his future role as a military leader. As it turned out, Alexander was to dominate the Greek world and defend it against the Persian Empire."
This union of older philosopher master was the beginning of a nearly lifelong advisory position for Aristotle.
Alexander respected the superior intellect of Aristotle in all things and felt that Aristotle represented the ideal intellectual who represented a total mastery of the intellectual over the physical self. (Remember the Apollonian Dionysian conflict?)
Phyllis questioned Aristsotles absolute control and according to legend made a bet with Alexander that she could show him that passion was stronger than reason. She began to flirt with Aristotle. After inflaming Aristotle with lust, he began to beg for a sexual trist. Phyllis informed Alexander that she had the proof he sought and instructed Alexander to hide in the bushes and watch while she literally mad an "ass" out of Aristotle.
In order to get what he wanted, Aristotle had to agree to do whatever Phyllis wanted. She instructed Aristotle to get down on all fours and allow her to ride him around the courtyard.
Form: In this variation of the theme, the two figures are nude and the total environment is much more worked out. This image indicates a fairly good use of anatomy and perspective and shows more of a development of the mark making discussed in Grien's drawing. The development of the vocabulary of marks would have been important for Grien to be able to make a high quality engraving.
In engraving, the design is cut into metal with a graver or burin. The burin is a steel rod with a square or lozenge-shaped section and a slightly bent shank. The cutting is accomplished by pushing the burin into the metal plate. The deeper it penetrates into the metal, the wider the line; variations in depth create the swelling tapering character of the engraved line. After the engraving is finished, the slight burr raised by the graver is cleaned off with a scraper. The engraved line is so sharp and clean that it asserts itself even if cut over a densely etched area. In the print, the engraved line is notable for its precision and intensity. In engraving, the hand does not move freely in any direction but pushes the graver forward in a line; a change of direction is achieved by the manipulation of the plate with the other hand. Although copper, zinc, aluminum, and magnesium plates are used--and in the past soft iron and even steel were used--the best all-around metal is copper. It has the most consistent structure and is neither too soft nor too hard.
Context: In the North, places like Germany, France and Holland, the art market was a bit different than in Italy. Although the Reformation did not officially begin until 1518, there were stirrings of it earlier than that.
In Northern towns and cities, there was a different distrubution of wealth and probably a larger upper middle class than in Italy. In addition to these factors, the main patron for the arts was in Italy in the Churches of Rome, Padua and Florence. Since individuals could afford to buy work for smaller prices many artists sought out this different market. The print market allowed artists to sell multiple copies of the same images to a larger number of people and make as much money from it as the sale of one or two paintings.
This also freed some of the artists from the typical more Catholic or overtly religious iconography of much of the art of the South and allowed them to explore other kinds of imagery and subjects.
Iconography: Stokstad describes the iconography of this image as a "moral lesson on the power of evil" but more than that, Stokstad discusses the use of images of witches in his images as an expression of evil. It is interesting that this is one of the roles that older, perhaps unattractive woman were accused of during the Renaissance and well into the 1800's. In some ways, the depiction of witches in the art of the Renaissance represents the anti-ideal for a woman. In this way, woman are still provided with a role model of what not to become.
Form and Context:
Woodcut is the technique of printing designs from planks of wood. . . It is one of the oldest methods of making prints from a relief surface, having been used in China to decorate textiles since the 5th century AD. In Europe, printing from wood blocks on textiles was known from the early 14th century, but it had little development until paper began to be manufactured in France and Germany at the end of the 14th century. . . In Bavaria, Austria, and Bohemia, religious images and playing cards were first made from wood blocks in the early 15th century, and the development of printing from movable type led to widespread use of woodcut illustrations in the Netherlands and in Italy. With the 16th century, black-line woodcut reached its greatest perfection with Albrecht Dürer and his followers Lucas Cranach and Hans Holbein. In the Netherlands Lucas van Leyden and in Italy Jacopo de' Barbari and Domenico Campagnola, who were, like Dürer, engravers on copper, also made woodcuts.
As wood is a natural material, its structure varies enormously and this exercises a strong influence on the cutting. Wood blocks are cut plankwise. The woods most often used are pear, rose, pine, apple, and beech. The old masters preferred fine-grained hardwoods because they allow finer detail work than softwoods, but modern printmakers value the coarse grain of softwoods and often incorporate it into the design.

'Captain Marvel 2' Going Into Production, Searching for Female Director
Leilani Reyes January 24th, 2020 - 7:17 AM
After last year's hit Captain Marvel was the first female-led Marvel film, now Disney is planning to keep its momentum going by giving the film a sequel, which is officially going into production now. The upcoming lineup of Marvel films is already looking packed, with Black Widow out this year and The Eternals, Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and Shang-Chi on the horizon. Black Widow will be the second Marvel film fronted by a woman and this time also directed by a woman, Cate Shortland.
Captain Marvel directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck will not be returning to helm the sequel, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Instead Marvel is on the hunt for a new female director to take over, and will move Boden and Fleck to the producing side of the film. WandaVision writer Megan McDonnell is on board to write the script, as she is already familiar with writing in the Marvel universe. Boden and Fleck may also be staying in the Marvel family by directing a series for Disney +.
Captain Marvel 2 is eyeing a 2022 release date, which means they've got to get busy confirming a director. Brie Larson and other members of the original cast will be returning to the film, but the time period will be moving from the 1990's to the MCU's present after Avengers: Endgame.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Exactly what has Tiger Woods proven over the last 17 months while piling up eight PGA Tour victories, including five this year? Not much, really, especially if he doesn't win this week's PGA Championship at Oak Hill CC. Actually, let's amend that. Tiger has proven this: There are five courses he can dominate; his weekend struggles at the majors are increasing not lessening; and success in tour events doesn't always carry over to majors.
Related: A victory at the PGA is far from a sure thing for Tiger Woods And while that may still be the case, his closing double bogey for a 71 in Thursday's first round of the PGA, leaving him six strokes off the lead on a rain-softened and receptive Oak Hill course, proved that Woods, while once again the best player in the world, is still not at his best. For a decade and a half, we have come to expect magic from Woods. And when he faced a tricky flop shot from the rough on No. 9 -- his last hole -- there was an expectation he would knock it stiff, tap in his putt and sign for a one-under-par 69. Instead, he caught the shot a little heavy, dumped it into the bunker, blasted to 10 feet and missed the putt to make double bogey. These days, it seems that when Tiger reaches into his hat he comes out without a rabbit. He has been especially hareless in the majors. "I drew no lie at all for my third shot," Woods said about his closing hole. "I was just trying to play 20 feet long and putt back and try to just get bogey. I didn't even get it over the bunker." There was a time when little things like bad lies didn't stop Tiger from making an up-and-down. But this is not that Tiger. So then what about the 15-under-par 265 he posted in winning the Bridgestone? Doesn't that count for something? And about what all that hardware he's added to his trophy case since last year's Arnold Palmer Invitational to get to 79 career wins? Well, as Bob Jones used to say: "There is golf and then there is tournament golf." Let's expand that to say: "There is tournament golf and then there is major championship golf." The lyrical efforts that Woods has been able to compose in PGA Tour events of late are just not translating to the majors. And kicking away two strokes on the final hole Thursday does not foreshadow well since it's been Thursday and Friday in the majors he has handled well during his 0-for-15 major drought. Let's go back to those eight wins over the last 17 months. Of those, six have been on the five courses where he has 33 of his 79 victories. Tiger has won eight times each at Torrey Pines, Bay Hill and Firestone CC. He has also taken home the trophy five times at Muirfield Village and on four occasions at Doral. OK, there are horses for courses and Woods has his. Nothing wrong with that. You win where you can win. It's like how great baseball teams dominate the bad teams and break even with the good ones. What's more problematic are his weekend struggles at the majors.
Related: Five repetitive things people are saying about the PGA Its origin is not where most people think. While Woods was pulled into a vortex of injury and insult, his actual decline began before a fire hydrant became a meaningful symbol in his life. It was at this tournament four years ago that Y.E. Yang turned in a performance that may very well solidify his legacy as the Buster Douglas of golf. As Douglas did to the once-invincible Mike Tyson when he beat him as a 42-to-1 underdog in Japan, Yang stripped away the aura of invincibility around Woods at the PGA Championship at Hazeltine. Woods had been 14-for-14 with at least a share of the final-round lead in the majors until then. But since that Sunday surprise against Yang, in which Woods shot 75, Tiger has broken 70 in a weekend round at a major only three times in 26 tries -- or 11.5 percent -- and not at all in his last seven majors. In the 94 weekend rounds Woods played in majors as a professional before he was Yanged, Tiger broke 70 a total of 39 times -- or 41.5 percent. That's a huge difference. And when Woods was the full Tiger from 2000 through 2007, he was 30 for 54 in breaking 70 on the weekends -- 55.5 percent. "I'm still right there," Woods said after his disappointing finish to a round in which he, Keegan Bradley and Davis Love III were put on the clock for slow play for four holes. "I'm only six back and we have a long way to go."
Related: Tiger puts on energy bar eating display at Oak Hill While that is all true, this is also true: One of the oddities of Woods' career has been that he has never won a major coming from behind on Sunday. Given that and his problem breaking 70 on the weekends, it seems like a good idea for him to post a significantly red number in Friday's second round. There is a feeling among many, if not most, that once Woods turns this ship around he will start winning majors in bunches once again. But ships do not turn easily or quickly. And with his 38th birthday looming in December, the five majors he needs to break the Nicklaus record of 18 seems more daunting with each opportunity lost. On Friday, Tiger will try to position himself for a weekend run at the PGA Championship. If recent form holds, he better not leave himself in too much of a hole. If there is a rabbit hidden in that hat, this would be a good time to pull it out.

Dropping Falls
Submitted by Anonymous on July 8, 2016 - 3:59pm
An unorthodox excursion at Ousel.
On Friday night, I sat at a friend's house sipping drinks when a longtime buddy walked in. I hadn't seen Dylan since winter, and even then it was only for a day. After a few beers and a night's worth of bullshitting, he outlined a plan to hit Lower Ousel Falls the next morning. My only commitment fell in the afternoon—he needn't say more. At 8am the following day, we were joined by friends Ethan, Austin, and Izaak and headed down the canyon.
Throwing on wetsuits in the parking lot, we loaded up for the approach, Dylan's frameless raft deflated and stuffed in a wheelbarrow, and Austin's makeshift whitewater canoe on our shoulders. Dylan and Izaak were on a waterfall-sending quest, so for them, it was just another hopeful notch in their belts. Ethan and Austin weren't versed in dropping falls, but they both have whitewater experience, so an outing like this was within their skillset, albeit at the high end. As for me, I hadn't been on whitewater in two years—this felt like running the Grand Canyon.
A dubious outing commences.
Nearing the trail's second bridge, clouds of mist thickened with every step. We rounded the final corner, fully absorbed in the roaring crescendo, and there it was—the raging curtain of whitewater, Upper Ousel. And below it, Lower Ousel, the fall we'd be dropping: smaller, but technical still, and nothing to scoff at.
"It doesn't look too bad," Dylan said, through a cocky smile. I was happy to let him have it. For the first round I'd watch from the bank, snap photos, and throw safety if needed. As if putting together a puzzle, Izaak and Dylan worked through a game plan, shuffling the bank's edge, piecing together every move.
Picking a line.
After discussing the what-ifs, they hiked to the top where they'd put in. Downstream and out of view, I nervously steadied the camera. Austin's holler alerted us that they were coming. Seconds later, Dylan's blue-and-grey boat floated into view. They heaved across the current, battling for the line that would thread them proper. Hitting their mark, they swung 90 degrees straight down—a few seconds and off they'd go. But as they flushed into the pocket before the drop, Izaak disappeared from the boat. Without flinching, Dylan continued his strokes, sticking to the plan. Just a few feet from the take-off, Izaak shot out of the rapids and grasped the back of the raft. Flailing behind his partner, Izaak threw himself back aboard as they sailed over the falls.
That's one way to go.
They landed and Izaak folded on top of Dylan, throwing both of them from the boat. Amidst the swirling pool, they quickly climbed in and navigated the lower section without incident.
"Good thing we brought the selfie stick."
After some celebratory howls and high-fives, Dylan decided to give it another go, this time with Austin. The two charged fluidly over the drop and through the rapids, making it look easy. Ethan and Izaak were next, the result the same. Now it was my turn.
Nerves firing, I hauled the raft up to the put-in with Dylan setting it down at the water's edge. We discussed our game plan; he talked, I listened—water this heavy was new to me.
"Sound good?" Dylan asked.
"Let's do it!" I cried.
We pushed off, paddling like hell for the narrow line seaming to the top of the falls. "Give it everything you've got!" he hollered. We skirted through the current, picking up speed as we went. "Two more strokes now!" and his voiced calmed.
And airborne we went.
The raft's nose hit first and we followed, landing softly in our respective positions. It was clean. Meandering through the lower obstacles without trouble, we spun around the bottom eddy into slower water. Cries of excitement rang throughout the canyon and relief washed over me.
Though it's been done before, dropping Lower Ousel was a first for us and a check-mark off the adventure bucket-list. While driving home, I noted the expressions of floaters on the Gallatin as they dipped and bobbed around House Rock, possibly through some of the same water we'd been in. I arrived home elated, my high carrying through the weekend into Monday.

It may also be of interest to all readers, whose command of English is sufficient to enable them to read texts of average difficulty and who would like to gain some information about the vocabulary resources of Modern English (for example, about synonyms and antonyms), about the stylistic peculiarities of English vocabulary, about the complex nature of the word's meaning and the modern methods of its investigation, about English idioms, about those changes that English vocabulary underwent in its historical development and about some other aspects of English lexicology. One can hardly acquire a perfect command of English without having knowledge of all these things, for a perfect command of a language implies the conscious approach to the language's resources and at least a partial understanding of the inner mechanism which makes the huge language system work. In this book the reader will find the fundamentals of the word theory and of the main problems associated with English vocabulary, its characteristics and subdivisions. The aim of the course is to teach students to be word-conscious, to be able to guess the meaning of words they come across from the meanings of morphemes, to be able to recognise the origin of this or that lexical unit. Lecture 1 (Part 1) LEXICOLOGY AS A BRANCH OF LINGUISTICS 1. Definition of the Term. Aims and Types of Lexicology. 2. The Relation of Lexicology with Other Linguistic Sciences. 3. Characteristic of the Word as a Basic Unit of the Language. The term Lexicology is composed of two Greek morphemes (from Gr. lexis word and logos learning). Lexicology is a linguistic science which studies the word, its morphemic structure, history and meaning. The word is the basic unit of a language, it is an association of a particular meaning with a particular group of sounds capable of a particular grammatical employment. A word, therefore, is simultaneously a semantic, grammatical and phonological unit. For example, a group of sounds boy is associated with the meaning a male child to the age of 17 or 18 (it may be associated with some other meaning, but this is the most frequent) and with the definite grammatical employment, i.e. it is a noun and has a plural form boys, it has the Genitive form boy s (the boy s mother) and it may be used in certain syntactical functions ( Oh, boy, do you remember me? ). Lexicology as a branch of linguistics has its own aims and methods of scientific research, its basic tasks are to study, describe and systematize vocabulary in respect to its origin, development and current use. So, to be more exact, lexicology studies words, word-forming morphemes and word groups, which form vocabulary of a particular language. Vocabulary a system, formed by all the words and word equivalents (phraseological units). The term system as used in present-day Lexicology denotes a set of elements associated and functioning together according to certain laws. The lexical system of every speech contains productive elements typical of this particular period, others that are archaic and are dropping out of usage, and, finally, some new phenomena, neologisms. The elements of lexical system are characterized by their combinatorial and contrastive properties determining their syntagmatic and paradigmatic relationships. Syntagmatic (combinatorial) relations define the meaning of the word when it is used in combination with other words in the flow of speech. E.g., compare the meaning of the verb to get in the sentences: He got a letter. He got tired. He got to London. He could not get the piano through the door. Paradigmatic (contrastive) relations exist between words belonging to one subgroup of vocabulary items (e.g., verbs of motion, of sense perception, sets of synonyms, etc.) that can occur in the same context and be contrasted to one another. Paradigmatic relations are observed in the system of language. e.g. to go a mile run walk stroll There are two principal approaches in linguistic science to the study of language material, namely the synchronic (Gr. syn together, with and chronos time ) and the diachronic (Gr. dia through ) approach. The synchronic approach is concerned with the vocabulary of a language as it exists at a given time, for instance, at the present time. While the diachronic approach deals with the changes and the development of vocabulary in the course of time: the origin of English vocabulary units, their change and development, the linguistic and extralinguistic factors modifying their structure, meaning and usage within the history of the English language. Consequently, there are two types of Lexicology Historical and Descriptive. Historical Lexicology discusses the origin of various words, their change and development, the linguistic and extra linguistic forces modifying their structure, meaning and usage. Descriptive Lexicology deals with the vocabulary of a given language at a given stage of its development. It studies the functions of words and their specific structure. The general study of vocabulary, irrespective of the specific features of any particular language, is called General Lexicology. Special Lexicology devotes its attention to the description of the characteristic features of a given language. However, it goes without saying that every Special Lexicology is based on the principles of general lexicology (development of the vocabulary by way of wordbuilding, semantic change and borrowing from other languages; categories of synonyms, antonyms, archaisms, neologisms, etc.). Vocabulary studies include such aspects of research as etymology, semasiology and onomasiology. Etymology is the branch of linguistics that studies the origin of the word. Semasiology is the branch of linguistics which studies word meaning and its changes. Onomasiology is the study of the principles and regularities of the signification of things and notions by words of a given language. 2. As a linguistic science, lexicology is inseparably interlinked with other branches of linguistics. Furthermore, as it was mentioned above, every word presents a unity of semantic, phonetic and grammatical elements, that s why it is closely connected with Phonetics, Grammar, Stylistics etc. Lexicology and Phonetics Words consist of phonemes which have no meaning of their own, but forming morphemes they serve to distinguish between meanings. The meaning of words is conditioned by several phonological features, such as: 1.1. qualitative and quantitative character of the phonemes: e.g. dog dock, rob robe, pot port 1.2. fixed sequence of phonemes: e.g. dog god. pot top, name mane mean, nest sent tens 1.3. the position of stress: e.g. 'object, n. ob'ject, v.; 'present, adj. pre'sent, v.: 'black 'board 'blackboard. Lexicology and Grammar Interaction between vocabulary and grammar is evident both in the sphere of morphology and in syntax. Plural forms, for example, can serve to form special lexical meaning, e.g. advice (counsel) advices (information), damage (injury) damages (compensation), arm (human upper limb) arms (weapon). Sometimes, when two kinds of pluralisation have produced two plurals of word, different uses and meanings have resulted. e.g. brother brothers, brethren; cloth cloths, clothes; fish. fish, fishes; penny pennies, pence Lexicalisation of numeric meaning is rather common. e.g. ice-cream two ice-creams, Picasso two Picassos, two a two Some prefixes make intransitive verbs transitive: e.g. shine outshine run outrun little belittle Interactions between vocabulary and grammar have their own peculiarities in syntax. Lexical meaning of the word depends on its environment. e.g. He ran quickly. He ran the factory with efficiency. He breathed freely. He breathed a new life into our activities. Instances are not few when the syntactic position of the word does not only change its function but its lexical meaning as well: e.g. library school school library town market market town It may happen that the same verb changes its meaning when used with persons and with names of objects: e.g. The new girl gave him a strange smile. (She smiled at him) The new teeth gave him a strange smile. (He looked strange) Lexicology and Stylistics Lexicology is also connected with stylistics since it deals with stylistic grouping and colouring of words (literary, colloquial, slang, etc.), which is the object of special study of stylistics. Lexicology is closely connected with sociolinguistics. It is the branch of linguistics, dealing with relations between the way the language works and develops, on the one hand, and the facts of social life, on the other hand. Language is the reality of thought, and thought develops with the development of society. Every new phenomenon in human society finds a reflection in vocabulary, e.g., computer, cyclotron, psycholinguistics. 3. Words are the central elements of language system. They are the biggest units of morphology and the smallest units of syntax and at the same time it is the main object of lexicological study. Morphemes are also meaningful units but they can not be used independently, they are always parts of words whereas words can be used as a complete utterance (e.g., Listen!). The definition of a word is one of the most difficult in linguistics because the word functions on the different levels of language. That s why the word has been defined semantically, syntactically, phonologically and by combining various approaches. L. Bloomfield defines the word as the minimal independent unit of utterance. In this way, the word is differentiated from morphemes, on one hand, and from phrases, on the other. E. Sapir defines the word as the smallest bit of isolated meaning, into which the sentence may be split. He takes into consideration the syntactic and semantic aspects. He also underlines one more important characteristic of the word: its indivisibility. The word is a unity of a given group of sounds (sometimes one sound, e.g. I ). with a given meaning in a given grammatical form. Thus every word has its outer aspect (phonetic and grammatical form) and its inner semantic aspect meaning. It is through this meaning that a word refers to a certain element of the objective reality (extra-linguistic reality) and serves as the name (sign) of that element. As a result most linguists underline the organic relationship between language and thought. The relationship between the word, the concept and the world of things is represented in die semantic triangle worked out by C. K. Ogden and I. A. Richards in their book The Meaning of sound-form. Judging from this scheme we may define the word as the basic linguistic unit which refers to (denotes) an object of reality and reflects (signifies) its concept in the speaker s and listener s mind. It is clear that the scheme is simplified, for the word also comprises the form (phonetical and grammatical) and meaning. Many eminent scholars of the former USSR, such as V. V. Vinogradov, A. I. Smirnitsky, O. S. Akhmanova, M. D. Stepanova, A. A. Ufimtseva, greatly contributed to creating a word theory based upon the materialistic understanding of the relationship between word and thought, on the one hand, and language and society, on the other. The main points may be summarized in the following definition. So, a word is the smallest unit of a given language capable of functioning alone and characterized by positional mobility within a sentence, morphological indivisibility and semantic integrity. All these criteria are necessary because they create a basis for the oppositions between the word and the phrase, the word and the phoneme and the morpheme; their common feature is that they are all units of the language, their difference lies in the fact that the phoneme is not significant, and a morpheme cannot be used as a complete utterance. Questions for Self-Control 1. What are the main characteristics of native words? 2. What is the classification of loan words according to the degree of assimilation? 3. What are translation loans? What are the main sources of translation loans? 4. What criteria of borrowings do you know? 5. What are etymological doublets? Lecture 1 (Part 2) ETYMOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MODERN ENGLISH VOCABULARY 1. The Definition of Etymology. Its Fundamentals. 2. Words of Native Origin and Their Characteristics. 3. Assimilation of Borrowings. 4. Causes and Ways of Borrowings. 5. Foreign Elements in Modern English: a) Celtic Borrowings; b) Greek Borrowings; c) Latin Borrowings; d) Scandinavian Borrowings; e) French Borrowings; f) German Borrowings; g) Borrowings from Other Languages. 6. Etymological Doublets and International Words. 1. The important task of lexicology is the study of the origin, of words making up the vocabulary of a language. The branch of lexicology which studies the origin of words and their genetic ties with words in the same and other languages is called etymology. The vocabulary of Modern English (MnE) is extremely heterogeneous from the etymological point of view. It can be subdivided into two main parts the native stock of words, which is the historical basis of the English vocabulary, and the borrowed strata (up to 70%). A native word is a word which belongs to the original English stock of the old English period (up to 7th cent.). The term is often applied to words the origin of which cannot be traced to any other language. A borrowed word (or borrowing) is a word taken from another language and modified in phonetic shape, spelling and meaning according to the standards of the English language. Not only words but also word-building affixes were borrowed into English. Loans changed in their sound form, spelling, paradigm and meaning according to the standards of English. Translation loans or calques are words and expressions formed by the material available in the language, but under the influence of some foreign words and expressions. e.g. mother-tongue (from Lat. lingua materna), wall newspaper (from Russian) by heart (from Fr. par coeur). Most of the given words are international in character, e.g., Sword of Damocles дамоклів меч, Heel of Achilles ахіллесова п ята. Semantic borrowing is the appearance in an English word of a new meaning due to the influence of a related word in another language. E.g., the word pioneer meant explorer, now it means a member of the Young Pioneers Organization. 2. Despite the great number of borrowed words native words are still at the core of the language. The native word-stock in MnE incorporates words which were brought to Britain in the 5th century by the German tribes and it was not quite homogenous etymologically. Most native words are short, often monosyllabic. Those, which are not, for the most part have stress on the first syllable, e.g. father, brother, winter. It consisted of Common Indo-European (e.g. father, mother, tree, moon, star, wind, I, who, one, two, etc.) and Common Germanic words (e.g. summer, winter, life, ice, house, room, etc.). The native element stock includes: everyday objects: food, meat, milk, water; natural phenomena: land, sun, moon, summer, wind; common actions: see, go, come, sit, stand, love, hunt; common qualities: long, short, warm, hard, quick, red, white; terms of kinship: father, son, daughter, brother; names of common animals and birds: bull, cat, goose, wolf; parts of the human body: arm, ear, foot, heart; modal and auxiliary verbs; pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions; numerals. Peculiarities of the words belonging to the native elements are: Great stability; Vital importance; Plurality of meaning ( head ); Great word-building power (the stem head can be found in the following derived and compound words: headache, headed, header, heading, headless, headline, headquarters, headmaster, headstrong, level-headed); Great combinative power in phraseology (e.g. above someone's head, an old head on young shoulders, to talk one's head off have one's head in the clouds, bury one s head in the sand, head over heels). Words of the native stock are stylistically neutral 3. Lexical borrowings, however numerous, do not radically change the structure of the borrowing language. Rather, the borrowed words, themselves change in accordance with the structural peculiarities of the language they are brought into. Thus through phonetic, spelling and morphological changes borrowed words become similar to native words, in other words are assimilated. e.g. portus (Lat.) port exaggerare (Fr.) exaggerate Oral borrowings are assimilated more completely and more rapidly than literary borrowings. Assimilation the process of changing of the adopted word. Phonetical assimilation includes changes in the sounds, form, stress of the loan words (e.g. waltz (German), psychology (Greek), cafe (French)). Grammatical assimilation comprises the change of grammatical categories and paradigms by analogy of other

We have teamed up with Nutritional Therapist Angelique Panagos to bring you a series of recipes designed to help you eat and snack better.
This week Angelique shares her favourite protein ball recipie. High in protein and low in dried fruit so they don't spike your blood sugar levels, these tasty bites are perfect pre or post workout or simply to snack on throughout the day.
Place the almonds and cashews in a large bowl. Cover them with hot water and leave to soak for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Put the soaked nuts into a blender or processor and process to a thick paste, scraping down the sides of the blender as you go.
Add the melted coconut oil to the blender and process until the mixture has a nut-butter-like texture.
Add the remaining ingredients, apart from the apricots, and process gently to combine. Then add the apricots and process just enough to mix them in.
Take one tablespoon of mixture for each ball, rolling it in your hands to make 12-15 balls. I find wetting my hands makes the balls easier to roll.
You can roll the balls in extra desiccated coconut, if you like.
Angelique's book 'The Balance Plan; Six Steps To Optimise Your Hormonal Health' can be bought here.

Fort Indiantown Gap (FTIG) has been a key installation for the Army and the Pennsylvania National Guard for more than 80 years.
In 1931, authorization was made to acquire land in Dauphin and Lebanon Counties when the Pennsylvania National Guard outgrew its 120-acre training site at Mount Gretna. Fort Indiantown Gap was first used by the National Guard in 1933 for training maneuvers, with completion of the military reservation by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1940.
As World War II erupted and the United States prepared to enter the conflict, Pennsylvania agreed to lease its National Guard Post to the U.S. Army for a training post. On September 30, 1940, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania leased the reservation to the federal government for $1. A massive construction project got underway, as 13,000 workmen quickly prepared for the arrival of troops and supplies and U.S. Army Garrison at FTIG was born.
When the facility was completed, there were more than 1,400 buildings, including three fire stations, two guesthouses, a bus station, nine chapels, two service clubs, four huge theaters, a large sports arena and a 400 bed hospital. Nearly, 800 temporary barracks buildings were located in complete regimental areas with mess halls, recreation buildings and store rooms. Muir Army Airfield was also constructed at that time.
Indiantown Gap was dedicated March 3, 1941, and was officially named Indiantown Gap Military Reservation (IGMR). It was one of the nation's busiest Army training camps, serving as the staging area for the New York Port of Embarkation. More than 150,000 troops in eight divisions were given final training at IGMR, prior to being shipped overseas. In addition to Pennsylvania's own 28th Infantry Division, the 3rd and 5th Armored Divisions and the 1st, 5th, 37th, 77th and 95th Infantry Divisions also trained at IGMR. Once Allied Forces gained a foothold in Europe, IGMR also served as a German POW compound.
As World War II continued with ever increasing American involvement, a transportation corps training center was established for the purpose of educating Soldiers who would later be used in port battalions. Three dry landships: S.S. Manada, S.S. Swatara, and the S.S. Indiantown were built at IGMR and used for Army stevedore training.
When the war ended, IGMR became a separation center for officers and enlisted men returning from overseas mostly from Europe. More than 450,000 men were demobilized here and returned to civilian life. At its peak, the center processed more than 1,000 Soldiers per day.
Between the end of World War II and the beginning of the Korean War, IGMR was inactivated as a federal post, and control was turned back over to the Pennsylvania National Guard.
From 1951 to 1953, during the Korean War, IGMR's strategic role again surfaced. It became the home of the 5th Infantry Division, whose mission was to train 32,000 troops as replacements for Soldiers in Korea.
On May 1, 1975, the Secretary of the Army announced an official name change. Henceforth, "IGMR" was to be known as "Fort Indiantown Gap." Although many important events occurred at FTIG, two are especially noteworthy. Fort Indiantown Gap was chosen on two separate occasions as a refugee resettlement camp. In 1975, more than 20,000 Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees were housed at the post until they were processed for sponsorship in the local area and across the United States. Five years later, in 1980, the post became a refugee camp again when more than 19,000 Cubans were brought to FTIG for processing and sponsorship.
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, FTIG served as the Army's largest Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) summer camp. Many young officers receiving commissions at that time later served during the Vietnam Conflict. In the 1980s and 1990s, various units of the military conducted and supported training at FTIG for military operations in Grenada, Panama, Operation Desert Shield, Operation Desert Storm, Bosnia and Kosovo.
On October 1, 1998, following Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) recommendations, the federal U.S. Army Garrison was closed and control was once again given to the Pennsylvania National Guard.

Facial recognition at airports has long been discussed, and earlier this year, the technology was finally introduced into Las Angeles Airport on a trial basis. Facial recognition at LAX - known for its strict border checks and long immigration queues - aims to help speed up border checks and improve the experience of passengers.
But will we see facial recognition expand into other airports?
There's no question that airport security is essential. Most of us accept it as part of modern travel. However, as more checks take place and more people are travelling, waiting times are increasing alongside passenger irritation.
"But with air traffic forecast to reach 7.8 billion passengers by 2036, putting together a fast and efficient service while maintaining security at border checks is no easy task for an airport, especially those that deal with millions of passengers every year."
And this is where facial recognition technology comes in.
During the trial passengers travelling internationally were able to fly without a boarding pass. Instead of a boarding pass, a machine scanned passenger's faces at the boarding gate which would be quickly matched with a US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) database.
Although the technology is still new, there are hopes it can be introduced into other airports and at different touch points within the airport. For example. At baggage drop and duty-free shops.
Airport Linemarking Services Australia is a Queensland based linemakring company that works all over Australia.

Q: How to move EFI folder to C drive I want to remove an SSD from my main rig to use it in a retro machine. However I've must have placed a EFI folder there by accident when I reinstalled windows 10 on a larger NVME drive.

120GB drive is the one I want out of my pc, 500GB is my linux drive, E: is my 1TB data drive, the last one is my win 10 drive
Is there a way to move that partition without destroying my installation of Windows?

In reading a special retail report in the 8th Feb edition of AdNews, a term was used that really grabbed my attention: the 'hourglass economy'. The term is used to describe the polarisation of the Australian consumer market: more people are becoming richer, and more people are becoming poorer. The middle market is becoming smaller and smaller by the day.
For me, this term echoes not only my personal situation, but explains a rather strange shift in the retail environment, especially locally. I am one of those few stuck in the middle range: struggling like so many other young people to save that elusive home deposit, yet still purchase the brands, products and things that I enjoy and just happen to be, more often than not, on the expensive end of the scale. My assets are relatively nonexistent, yet I spend and act like a high-end consumer (refusing not to sacrifice my current lifestyle). Whereas our older generations are asset rich, yet earn very little. As a result, the population of a town like Busselton appears to be significantly low-end, as the average income is very low. In fact Busselton is almost a perfect physical example of this 'hourglass economy'.
The retail environment in Busselton has a distinct low-end, high-end divide (yet they are all thrown in together in a great big, unorganised mess). There's homewares, boutique clothing and furniture stores, jewellery stores, gourmet food stores, and giftware, all pushing the high-end of the demographic scale (for example, the popular, yet relatively pricey, homewares store House recently came to town). Then there's about 4 or 5 op-shops, heaps of discount stores ($2 shop style), discount clothing retailers, and a whole swag of other low-end stores who crowd their entrances with discount racks and awful flouro orange and green hand-written signs saying 'warehouse clearance sale'. When tourists come to Busselton, they must be completely and utterly confused.
p>Whilst I've used Busselton as an example, this trend is being realised all over Australia. Companies in the middle do face a certain death, which is why some middle-style retailers (for example Target) are aiming at the higher, or lower end, of the market to try and secure a steady market base. If you're in retail and reading this blog, I'd suggest having a think about where you fit into this scale. We know that trying to be things to all people is impossible. If you have a carved a nice little niche for yourself, preserve it like you would fine wine. You never know how long it is going to last.

WBB: Lady Raiders plays Texas on Wed., Feb 15, 2012
By RndRckTTU Feb 15, 2012, 5:56pm CST
Share All sharing options for: WBB: Lady Raiders plays Texas on Wed., Feb 15, 2012
The Lady Raiders play the Texas Longhorns in Austin, TX on Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012 at 7pm CST at the Frank Erwin Center. This will be the 87th meeting between these two teams. Texas holds the lead in the series, 60-26. Tech won the last meeting in Lubbock on Jan 28, 2012.
Tech enters the game after beating Iowa State on Sunday Feb 12, 2012 in Lubbock (51-41). The game reflected the Lady Raider style of aggressiveness and speed. Senior Forward Kierra Mallard twisted her knee in the latter part of the first half and did not return to the game. The Lady Longhorns ended a four-game losing streak with a win over Oklahoma State on Saturday, Feb 11, 2012. Texas led at the half and stayed ahead of the OSU Cowgirls in the 2nd half with a final score of 69-53.
What's at Stake: Tech is trying to be one of the top 6 six teams in the Big 12 to get a first-round bye in the Phillips 66 Big 12 Women's Championship. Currently they are tied with Oklahoma State and Iowa State in the Big 12 standings. Secondly, every victory is needed if Tech is to get into the NCAA Tournament. A win over the Longhorns would also break a 5-year drought in which Tech has not won in Austin since 2006. The Lady Longhorns are looking for their 15th win and their 5th Conference game win. UT will be trying to move out of the cellar of the Big 12 standings.
Comments: Tech MUST win this game if they are to get ahead of Iowa State and Oklahoma State in the standings. They need to play aggressive and control the boards. They need to continue to improve on the FT% and capitalize on take-aways. I hope they take the momentum from the Iowa State game and continue to win the remainder of the season.

Head Coach Kristy Curry
On big win
"Well they are all big from here on out, we've got about to midnight to enjoy it and we've got to bounce back. There's got to be a sense of urgency. You don't get to March if you don't understand that. There was not much celebrating in the locker room, I asked them why they weren't more excited. It is more just about business that you've got to take care of."
On Kierra Mallard
"She will have an MRI in the morning."
On halftime message and Kierra going down
"I didn't really change my message. We talked about when she went down in the huddle just when family has adversity, the rest of the family has to step up. I told them after the game that I think the thing I am most proud of today is how we persevered through a lot of adversity. Not only did Kierra go down, which is terrible. They you look and Mo goes down, she goes to the locker room and they are probably thinking the worst, and so are we. Just their character today was just outstanding. We had a lot of folks that did a lot of little things that may not show up on the stats sheet, but did a great job."
On Chynna Brown
"She has the ability to really create and be aggressive. She is prepared to catch and shoot, and be prepared to dribble for us. She is not afraid of that challenge, you've got to have somebody that wants to score. She just wants she team to win. I liked how aggressive she was, but she always is."
On holding them to 41 points
"We wanted to make them uncomfortable, and I thought we did that, absolutely. It was a great effort, anytime you can hold an Iowa State team to that. I thought our change in defense was effective, on our pressure; we would go to our zone. I am not sure they were real comfortable against the zone, I have seen that on film recently and I thought we capitalized on that."
On pulling away at the end of the game
"That was huge. It says a lot about our perimeter, Casey, Mo, Chynna, and Christine. I thought Hyde's minutes were big down the stretch. Just communication down the stretch was important, we were able to make our free throws and keep our heads up. I loved our team today, they showed great leadership."
On changes to the game
"Chynna has been playing well, she played well at Oklahoma State. It wasn't anything Christine had done wrong other than what Chynna had done right. I though Christine was there as a spark in the second half. It is all about team with them, whatever we need to do they are going to find a way to step up."
Chynna Brown
"We came out aggressive and shot the ball. We were just trying to rebound and guard, we just needed to get a win."
On shooting well and starting today
"Well I shot the ball well today in shoot-arounds, so I found those shots on certain areas of the floor and taking those shots. Most of all, just trying to be aggressive. If the defense was on me I just tried to kick it out to one of my teammates. Starting today, I feel like it didn't change anything. I just wanted to bring energy and a spark."
On feeling today
"We were a little pumped up, the fans helped. The fans that did come out, we appreciate it due to the weather. We just came out together ready to go. We talked to each other and said that we need this win."
Shauntal Nobles
On being play
"I just wanted to be aggressive, and match up to their posts well and stop them from getting the ball. It was a good team effort today, and I want to do my best to contribute."
On her mindset after Mallard went out
"Step up, be aggressive offensively, set good screens, be aggressive offensively and rebound the ball."
