It was a case of recycling rather than reinvention for Madonna last night as she pulled out her tried and tested move - a lesbian kiss - during her show in Paris last night. The singer, who is rapidly approaching 50, locked lips with one of her female backing dancers during a private concert in the French capital, just like she did with Britney Spears at the MTV Awards more than five years ago.

About a year ago, one morbidly obese (er, a tiny bit chubby) man began a quest to find out what happens when you stop being polite and try to exercise via Wii Sports (see above). Apparently after losing 9 pounds, dropping two points from his BMI, and 3-inches from his waist, he's ready to go again, this time with the Wii Fit. Sure, it sounds like a second-rate Super Size Me publicity stunt -- and it probably is -- but who doesn't want to see just how lean the Wii's newest accessory can get you? Now, the tubby 191 pound man will run himself through a rigorous Wii Fit program for five shocking weeks. The stunt has already scored him an early Fit from Nintendo, so there's no telling where this could go. We expect to see an Adonis or skeleton when it's all over, pal -- eith

NEW YORK - GOLDMAN Sachs Group Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein said on Thursday markets are probably in the late stages of the global credit crisis that began last summer, but he would not predict when it will end.'We're closer to the end than the beginning,' Mr Blankfein said at the bank's annual shareholder meeting. 'I think we're getting to that point where people are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.' He estimated the markets are more than half way to recovery, but declined to forecast how long the crisis would persist.'Maybe we're at the end of the third quarter, beginning of the fourth quarter,' he said, though he cautioned that a recovery may still take a long time.'If you watch sports, sometimes there's a lot of timeouts in the fourth quarter.

There are four stages of ovarian cancer. When you get diagnosed, your doctor will try to determine which of the stages you belong to. If you are diagnosed in the earlier stages then you have a greater chance of survival. On the other hand, diagnosis in the latter stages could mean that your disease has progressed too much to be cured by conventional means. Either way, you should be aware of these stages so you can know what to expect as your ovarian cancer progresses. Each of these stages are described in greater detail below.Stage 1 - Stage 1 is the first stage that a women will go through. Stage one is the most treatable stage and where you ideally want to find out you have ovarian cancer. The only issue is going to be detecting the cancer at such an early stage. Anyway, with Stage 1 ova

Where the disease has not metastasized, the five-year survival rate for women suffering from breast cancer is about 86%. That percentage means that 86% of women who develop breast cancer live for at least five years after diagnosis. The good news is that depending on the stage it is discovered, the survival rate can be even higher than the overall average.As with most cancers, breast cancer, develops in stages. A standard classification of letters and numbers is used to describe the stages - T, N and M and 0-IV. The alphabet T denotes the size of the tumor while alphabet N denotes that it has spread to the lymph nodes and the alphabet M means distant metastasis. When a primary tumor spreads to another area/s and forms more tumors, it has metastasized.When a tumor cannot be assessed, it is

One rare form of cancer is called Mesothelioma, a malignant tumor in the mesothelial tissues of the lungs and the abdomen, arising from the inhalation of asbestos. Its rarity is one of the reasons why a lot of people are not aware of this kind of fatal disease. In fact, many people die of Mesothelioma undiagnosed. Although there is now a growing awareness of the hazards of asbestos to health, still many have not heard of Mesothelioma and thus, have not understood its nature, cause, signs and treatment. Even some physicians find it hard to detect Mesothelioma because its symptoms are akin to other diseases like lung cancer and pneumonia. Furthermore, it takes decades for a patient who was exposed to asbestos to develop Mesothelioma — fifty years, at most.Being unaware of Mesothelioma pose

The chance of survival or surviving for an extended number of years when one has colon cancer (also known as colorectal cancer) is generally good if the condition is detected early. Some people however who are already in higher cancer stages may actually still have some reason to be hopeful. The right treatment is really the key to a good colon cancer prognosis.StagesColon cancer prognosis is often dependent on the stage in which the patient is in. Untreated and advanced cancer may lead to only a 20% chance of surviving for five years after diagnosis. Some however may actually have a 90% chance of surviving after diagnosis if the cancer is treated early. This is only quite natural. The worse one's condition and spread of cancer cells are, the least likely will treatment be effective and en

You’re lying awake in bed with eyes open, awake but relaxed. Your beta brain waves indicate wakefulness. Growing more tired, you shut your eyes. Your brain activity slows down to alpha waves. You’re more relaxed, yet still wakeful.
Stage 1:
After several minutes in the alpha stage, your breathing rate and brain waves begin to slow down. You’re now entering Stage 1 sleep, a transitional stage of light sleep. Your heart rate is lowered and your breathing becomes shallow and regular. As your muscles relax, you might experience a sensation of falling, causing you to awake momentarily.
Stage 2:
Your brain emits theta waves along with K-complex waves and sleep spindles — so named because they resemble spindles on a loom. Stage 2 sleep lasts 10-20 minutes; it marks the beginning of actual sleep. You’re completely disengaged from the environment, unaware of most outside stimulation.
Stage 3:
It’s now perhaps 20-30 minutes since you first closed your eyes. Yo
A condition that mainly affects the brain functions, Alzheimer's disease is actually a form of dementia. A person has dementia when a complex group of conditions develops, causing the gradual destruction of the brain cells, leading to progressive decline in the person's mental function. Being a common form of this particular brain disorder, Alzheimer's disease is also characterized by a progressive destruction of the patient's brain cells. This leads to damage and eventually complete loss of memory and learning abilities, reasoning skills, decision making, communication, and even the ability to carry out daily activities.
Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease. However, new treatments have been discovered, due to the deepening insight scientists have of the biology of the disease. One of these insights is the fact that the disease seems to progress in stages - Alzheimer stages.
There are seven Alzheimer stages documented by experts based on common

Lyrics:
It's a fine time to fall in love with you,
I ain't got a single thing to do.
It happened before I knew what was going on.
I fell out and knew that I was gone.

stages rearranging love.
Then you left me standing all alone,
I couldn't even get you on the phone.
Were you just confused and didn't know
if you should stay or if you had to go?
Stages keep on
Culture shock.You’re lost, standing baffled in new surroundings with a heavy pack on your shoulders, unable to tell left from right, up from down, phone booths from trash cans or ripoff artists from friends.
But this image of sudden shock isn’t quite accurate.
In reality, culture shock is a much more nuanced phenomenon that can take months to develop and overcome. Culture shock will flip your emotions topsy-turvy. It will effect you in completely unexpected ways.
More than simply being surprised at unfamiliar social norms, weird new food or foreign modes of conversation, culture shock will impact you long after you become familiar and comfortable with the day-to-day customs of a new culture.
Culture shock tends to move through four different phases: wonder, frustration, depression and acceptance.
Of course, like all things that happen in our complicated little brains, it’s never really that simple or easy. Each of these stages take time to run their course, and how
This is a short, simple basic guide for stages of pregnancy. It will cover the general stages and what happens during a normal pregnancy. Not all pregnancies will progress exactly as indicated in this basic guide for stages of pregnancy, but it should give women who have never been pregnant, and the men around them, an idea of what will occur during the pregnancy. Good prenatal care is important during all stages. It is also helpful if the woman and her partner develop a good relationship with her doctor, who can expand on this basic guide for stages of pregnancy and provide details pertinent to each specific pregnancy.
The first detail in this basic guide for stages of pregnancy is the fact that a normal pregnancy is considered to last for 40 weeks, which is divided into sections called trimesters. Each trimester lasts about 13 weeks. Most people discuss the development of the fetus according to the trimester of development.
Since the changes can be subtle in the beginning stages of p

Many people believe all good things happen in stages. Life itself is a series of milestones and stages, the life cycle of insects comes in stages. It only makes sense that one of the most meaningful events in a woman's life happens in stages as well. The stages of pregnancy bring a lot of change to the mother to be's body, life, and relationships. Embarking on this journey takes fortitude, as anyone who has ever dealt with morning sickness can tell you, and understanding of the natural changes occurring in your body.
The stages of pregnancy are normally broken into three month periods referred to as trimesters. Although not necessarily visible on the outside many exciting things are happening inside the uterus. Even before mom knows she is pregnant, amazing things are taking place. The fetal cells are divided at a tremendous rate and the mother's hormone levels are in a constant state of surge. Some lucky ones bypass this symptom, but this is the time when morning sickne

What is fascinating to me is that “It is also not possible to ‘jump’ forward stages; each stage provides a new yet necessary perspective, and is more comprehensive, differentiated, and integrated than its predecessors.” Each stage “transcends and includes” the prior stages.
OverviewDepending on the capabilities of the motherboard, specifying the parameters settings that define CPU overclocked modes can be done either by using BIOS Setup or by setting the motherboard jumpers. Evaluation of the overall system performance and stability can be done using specialized tools, which usually include test programs.There are two ways of changing the system parameters. The first one is to use the appropriate settings in BIOS Setup. Most current motherboards that provide built-in overclocking capabilities, such as SoftMenu from Abit, allow the bus frequency and various voltages to be measured directly in BIOS Setup. All such capabilities are described in the documentation supplied with the motherboard. However, many motherboards only allow parameters to be measured using jumpers and switches located on the motherboard itself. It is first necessary to figure out which method of overclocking is provided by the motherboard. Then, you'll have to carefully read the docum
Beyonce will stage a live concert in the Jakarta International Event and Convention Center (JiTec) on November 1 as part of her The Beyonce Experience World Tour. The Indonesian leg of the world tour will be the singer's seventh stop, after which she will proceed to China, Philippines, Korea, and Taiwan.Earlier this month, the international singer's talent agency, International Creative Management, has announced that they have cancelled the Malaysian leg of Beyonce's world tour because of "scheduling conflicts." Speculations have circulated since then that the cancellation was due primarily to Malaysia's strict dress and behavioral codes being imposed on visiting foreign artists. According to the Malaysian government's conservative dress code, all performing female artists must be covered up from the shoulders to the knees. Beyonce - known for wearing sexy, revealing outfits -- allegedly was not happy with the government's demand.For concert tickets, visit: http://www.allaccessto
By: Nathan F. ShawLearning how to organize everything requires looking at every little area of your life. When it's time to do a chore, like go to the bank, is everything you need in 1 place that you can find and pick up in 30 seconds, or is everything in 3 places, that you need to hunt for a little bit, and so take 5 minutes to get ready? That applies to doing anything. Shopping for clothes, groceries, going to work. What a dream come true.. to organize everything. I have given you the 5 stages to go through so you can organize everything.

Once a woman has reached the pregnancy stages, last trimester, she becomes increasingly eager for the birth. The fetus has accomplished most of its development. All the facial features are obvious. The fingers and toes are well-formed. In fact, it is even possible for the fetus to suck its thumb at this stage.
Much of what happens during this last trimester strengthens what already exists. For example, the lungs have now been completely formed and the fetus could begin breathing air if it had to. The additional few weeks of the pregnancy will allow those tiny lungs to develop and strengthen even more, limiting the possibility of early breathing problems.
The brain of the fetus is also developing. The basic components of the brain now exist, but it is smooth and doesn't have the wrinkles that are generally associated with brain development. The last several weeks of the pregnancy stages, last trimester allow the brain time to grow, curving in upon itself, thus developing the famili

Sometimes, women wonder if they are going to have more than one baby. Women who may be pregnant with twins for the first birth generally come from families with a high incidence of twins, have been taking fertility drugs or are at an advanced age. Frequently, women who wait until they are in their thirties to have their first child may release more than one egg. This then increases the chances of having a multiple birth.
Sometimes, a woman who has already given birth will believe that she is gaining weight faster than she did with the first pregnancy. This is normal. Her internal organs have already been stretched by the first pregnancy, so they will respond somewhat differently during subsequent pregnancies.
The stages of pregnancy with twins aren't much different than the stages of pregnancy for a single child, but these stages may be more pronounced. During the first stages of pregnancy with twins, the first weeks aren't that much different than that of the first weeks of

In the “Stages of Spiritual Growth,” by M. Scott Peck, I was struck most with the second and third stages, the “Formal, Institutional, Fundamental” and “Skeptic, Individual.” Significant that I see myself within those stages. I can still see myself being a “skeptic fundamentalist.” Being raised in a rigid and principled family, I grew up looking at the authority with fear and respect. That turned out to be me, who tends to be legalistic and a person who “sticks to the rule.” Even before when I was a teenager, I had a great need of security and never took a risk without reassurance. I played well with this .
Somehow, I can see myself being always caught in between these two stages. Mostly this time, I find myself as a skeptic who questions every angle of my own perspective and of others on something crucial like decision making in the community, or even in our class discussions in the formation house. I feel like I am the devil’s advocate who plays the rol
So, you just discovered your partner is pregnant. You have heard a lot about pregnancy, but now it is happening to you, or rather, your partner. What does this mean for her? What are the pregnancy stages first month and how will the pregnancy affect your life?
The pregnancy stages first month may be relatively uneventful. In all probability, much of what happens during this time will have been completed by the time you even learn your partner is pregnant. A lot of people think that a woman won't have a menstrual period after she conceives, but this is not always true. She might be in the pregnancy stages first month, or even after that, before she realizes she is pregnant. Most of the behavior changes that occur in pregnant women happen after the fetus has gotten large enough to cause some noticeable weight gain. During the pregnancy stages first month, the fetus is still an embryo and not large enough to cause many changes in how the woman feels.
Sometimes, the first clue that a
Humanitarian that I am, I my heart goes out today to New York Mets players.
A day after completing one of the worst collapses in baseball history, a collapse that saw them lose a 7-game division lead with 17 games to go in the season, Mets Nation is hurting right now. My caring heart compels me to try to help them through this painful time.
As a licensed sports psychologist, which I will be with 4 more years of school and a license, I will try to help Mets players deal with their grief as they go through the five stages of…well, grief.

There are three major stages of pregnancy. These are called "trimesters" and generally last about thirteen weeks. The stages of pregnancy each have different characteristics.
The first of the stages of pregnancy, commonly referred to as the first trimester, is the easiest to miss. Many women may not know they are even pregnant until the end of the first trimester. In some women, morning sickness develops. This is because the woman's body is getting itself acclimated to its new condition. A woman's body needs to change to enable it to nourish both the baby and the mother. These shifts in a woman's condition cause a variety of natural functions to shift as well.
The major change is the growing size of the uterus. The uterus will cause increased pressure on near-by organs such as the bladder. Later, as the uterus gains rapidly in size, the fetus will put pressure on the back and can cause the woman back pain. The growing uterus may also cause a woman's post
You have heard the term many times. You have been told by those that recruited you that you will have this. You have been told by your enroller and upline you will get this. However, initially you don’t know what it is and you don’t know how to get.

Ok, you know how to put characters into Mugen. At some point you will get bored with Kung Fu Man’s stage. I wrote up an article on adding backgrounds to your Mugen game.
How to Install Mugen Stages.
Month 1: Human development starts when a sperm fuses with an egg to create a zygote. A zygote is a single-cell that contains two copies of chromosomes—one copy from each parent. In the week following fertilization, the zygote undergoes rapid cell division and becomes a mass of cells known as a blastocyst. After more cell division, the blastocyst splits in half.
Month 2: This month, the embryo’s development shifts into high gear. Its tongue, teeth and eyelids start to form. Its limbs grow longer and stronger, and its palate is nearly complete. Also in this time period, the embryo’s gastrointestinal tract separates from its urogenital organs and its heart begins beating—twice as fast as yours, in fact.
Month 3: This is the month of the heartbeat. Using a special tool called a Doppler monitor, doctors can detect the tiny thump-thumps of a 10-week-old fetus.
Month 4: Get out the headphones and tune the radio dial to Mozart—this month, the fetus can hear its mother’s heartbea
When a woman discovers she is pregnant, she and her partner frequently want to learn what will be happening to her. They want to know how the fetus will develop during the next several months. Pictures of stages of pregnancy can help them better understand the process.
A pregnancy lasts approximately 40 weeks. This period is divided into trimesters of approximately thirteen weeks each. Pictures of stages of pregnancy can be classified by the week of the pregnancy or by the trimester. Frequently, pictures of stages of pregnancy will first be found by indicating the trimester of the pregnancy. Once that has been identified, one can then search for pictures of a particular week.
During the first trimester, the fertilized egg develops into a fetus with recognizable human characteristics. In the first two or three weeks, the fertilized egg is called a zygote and it floats through the fallopian tubes until it attaches itself to the uterus. By the third week, the zygote has gotten large enoug
The early stages of pregnancy can be a confusing time. A couple may be excited about the news of the pregnancy; they may also be confused or concerned, for any number of reasons. They may be far from family and friends and the support system that comes from a familiar environment. The couple may have very different viewpoints about the pregnancy. If at all possible, it is during the early stages of pregnancy that the couple should discuss these issues.
The woman will encounter several changes to her body and her emotions during her pregnancy. She may have health problems that will complicate a pregnancy. While the pregnancy won't be the same for her partner, a woman may expect her partner to help her during the process. During the early stages of pregnancy, it is a good idea if the couple learns what they can about the pregnancy. What will happen in the first stages of the pregnancy? Will anything stay the same throughout the pregnancy? Will the woman be interested in sex? Both

Prague’s Wenceslas Square, scene of some of the turning points in the country’s history, for the first time hosted a fashion show on Thursday evening with the presentation of Osmany Laffita’s Summer 2008 collection.
The 40-something Cuban-born fashion designer, who has lived here since he was 22, told AFP he enjoyed surprising his guests with the concept of each collection in the Czech capital, “a city where there are so many incredible locations.”
For previous shows, Laffita has taken his models to Prague’s art-deco central railway station and the chandelier-adorned Baroque Clam-Gallas place.
This time, he has set up his catwalk “under the attentive eyes of the patron saint of the Czech Republic,” Saint Wenceslas, whose statue dominates the square lined by impressive art-deco buildings in the heart of Prague.
His latest collection was inspired by a recent trip in Asia, with ultra-short kimonos and romantic cheongsams in fine silks in pa
Generally, pregnancies are welcomed with smiles and anticipation. Most people look forward to the arrival of a baby. A lot of people are vaguely aware of some of the things that will happen to the expectant mother during her pregnancy, but there are also some points along the way that can be potential problems. Being aware of the stages of pregnancy development can help others, and the mother, know what to expect, and how to prepare for certain situations.
One of the first potential problems in the stages of pregnancy development is what is euphemistically called "morning sickness". The name seems to indicate that the woman will get sick only in the morning. Not all women get morning sickness; many women will get the nausea and experience vomiting during various parts of the day. Generally, this isn't a problem because most people have experienced some degree of nausea at some point in their lives. If, however, the woman experiences "morning sickness" in the la

From the first moment that the cells begin to divide and create an embryo, fetal development and the stages of pregnancy progress in an established sequence. When the egg is fertilized, a zygote develops. In this first stage, which takes place during the first two weeks of the pregnancy, the cells multiply and develop.
The next phase of fetal development and the stages of pregnancy occurs when the zygote becomes an embryo. During week three, the embryo starts to develop the buds that will become the arms and legs of the fetus. The digestive system also has rudimentary beginnings at this time.
By the fifth week of fetal development and the stages of pregnancy, the facial features have started to form. The embryo has started to produce hormones and the presence of these hormones stop the mother's menstrual cycle. When the embryo becomes about an inch long, about the sixth week of the fetal development and the stages of pregnancy, the brain has begun to develop its component parts; f
I have often heard it said; it is just a phase or just a stage, when a child misbehaves. I used these terms a few times when parenting my first child while I was still a teen myself and a baby Christian. Over the years I have grown in my understanding of Scripture and my responsibilities as a parent. God has taught me and is still teaching me through His Word and His own discipline upon my life.Stages such as the terrible two's, the trying threes, and being a "teenager", or phases like "I refuse to eat any vegetables", simply put; are just excuses for sinful behavior. These stages or phases do have a name but it is not terrible two, teenager, or the like, it is called sin. Children do not "grow out" of it, in fact, they grow more and more into it. Sin only breeds more sin until it has been disciplined.Parents tend to expect to little from their little ones, but they really do understand. If a child can understand that their wrong behavior is getting them what they want, they l
Have you ever wondered: "Why is our relationship so hard? Things were so perfect when we first met - what happened?" Most likely, the answer is that you've left the first stage of your relationship, and have moved into another. But could it really be that easy? Yes! Most people understand that relationships grow and change over time - but what many people don't know is that long-term relationships tend to evolve in the same way. There are specific, defined stages of committed relationships, which offer new feelings, new challenges to overcome, and new opportunities for growth. And if you want your relationship to evolve into one of mutual respect, love and intimacy, it's likely that you'll have to experience all of the following relationship stages at some point or another. Take a look at the description of each phase - does any of this sound familiar? Stage 1 - The Romance Stage This is also known as the Courtship Phase or the Fantasy Stage, and can last anywhere from 2 months t
Miscarriage is also known as spontaneous abortion (SAB). It is defined as a sudden loss of pregnancy on its own prior to twenty weeks gestation.
In other words, it is a natural occurrence of nonviable fetus expulsion from the uterus.

The Five Stages of Data Loss By Steve Burgess, 2007 The computer crashes and what happens? Well, irritation at first. The darn thing is supposed to work, and you've got work to do. After fiddling with it for a bit and getting error message this, error message that -- and what did I do that was an illegal instruction? Am I going to get a ticket? Aren't I the executive here? Is this some kind of Sarbanes-Oxley trick? Surely this will work if I turn it on & off a few times. That's the first stage: denial. But turning it on and off only results in diminishing returns. More error messages. That's when the second stage kicks in: anger. It's at this point that we're grateful the windows don't open in high-rises, because we would surely make expeditious use of said window if it did. No computer that has fallen a hundred feet will foil me again! But of course, we do need to consider the documents and countless hours we've sat in front of that glowing screen, pouring creativity (repor
The central band of rocks were completed next. Starting with two underlying colour/colour washes. The first being the colours/colors for the light tones followed, when dry, by a shadow wash to define all areas in shadow and start creating the form. Then a number of washes brought out the detail on the rock (texture, lichens, etc) working light to dark before overlaying some warm or cool washes (depending on reflected light etc) over the whole area but working in small areas at a time.
The initial stages of a watercolour/watercolor painting of the coastline very near Landsend, Cornwall. A hot sunny day with intense light, typical for a day like this on the Cornish coast. This painting was started, having first masked the highlights on the water, with a wash for the sky and underlying colour/color for the sea. While this was still wet the clouds were lifted out. This was allowed to dry before a second wash was applied to the sea, building up the wave forms. Further small washes were used to build up the wave detail, these ranged in colour/color and tone. Following the sea the distant headland was painted. Starting with the lightest areas of the rocks, then applying further washs to build up the tone using stronger mixes of colour/color for each area. Lots of blues and violets were used to help give the feeling of distance, more in the shadows but the whole area as given a blue wash which also softened any hard edges. The process was repeated again for the central he
Every individual has experienced hurts in the past, traumatic for some, forgotten by many. The woundedness being experienced were being neglected, never recalled and definitely being buried in the memory and never healed. These become obstacles to our growth into wholeness and fullness of life. These unknowingly become part of our everyday life, of who we are today, how we look in our life and on others.
The “Healing the Eight Stages of Life (HESL)” workshop starts today. It is a module being developed and adapted into our Filipino culture by Alegria A. Javier - O’bien. The workshop integrates Erik Erikson’s stages of human development with healing prayer. The participants, those who are seeking growth and want to experience fullness of life, are to identify their experiences of woundedness that impede to growth to wholeness.
Also in this workshop, participants are expected to become more aware of the effects of the childhood experiences and they are
Once she confirms that she is pregnant, a woman may want to learn all she can about pregnancy, what happens to her and what she can expect. In many cases, her partner may also want some similar information. Other people close to the expectant parents may want to know more about the pregnancy. There are any stages of pregnancy books on the market. These books can cover topics that a woman may never have considered.
Some stages of pregnancy books will be very technical, describing in detail every day and every change that occurs during the process of the pregnancy. There are books that discuss only a particular trimester, or a particular stage of the pregnancy. Some stages of pregnancy books are more general and will provide only the basic guidelines of pregnancy. Each woman will need to assess her own needs and interests and decide what kind of stages of pregnancy books are of interest to her. It is possible that a woman might only be interested in the general details of her pregnancy,
Congratulations! You're pregnant! Regardless of who you are or if this is the first pregnancy or not, there are probably a lot of things going through your head right now. "You" may be the expectant mother, the father, or even a close relative or friend, but you somehow feel as if you are connected to the pregnancy and that it will affect your life. You are probably correct, since a baby does tend to change the lives of the adults around it.
So, what do you do now? That obviously depends on who you are. That also will depend on the stages of pregnancy status of the expectant mother. The expectant mother generally will visit her primary care physician who may, or may not, refer her to a specialist. There are a variety of tests she will take, and things she will do and her physician should keep her informed of the stages of pregnancy and what to expect. What happens, however, if you are involved in the pregnancy but aren't the mother?
If you have been pregnant, or
The initial stages of a watercolour/watercolor painting of the harbour/harbor area of the South Ayrshire town of Girvan.After doing the masking (for the boat rigging) the sky and distant hills could be painted. Two wet washes created the overcast sky, the colour/color of which was brought down into the hills. When dry, the distant hills were painted using three washes to gain the weight and colour/color before a clean wet wash softened it all and helped with the mood and recession. The sun had just come out and was catching the foreground harbour area but not the background hills creating a nice contrast of warm against cool colours/colors.Following the above, the painting of the building along the harbour area was completed, again keeping them simple, both for detail and contrast, again softening some edges.
