Unforgettable Tebow 1.8

: Playbook : Tebow Chronicles : http://bit.ly/wKqv7e || http://bit.ly/wAFheu

___

For sure there are better quarterbacks in the NFL than the current Denver Broncos starter, but none is as adept at getting press and social media attention than the guy whose initials are : TB.

Timothy Richard "Tim" Tebow ( /ˈtiːboʊ/; born August 14, 1987) is an American football player who is currently the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Broncos as the 25th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft and played college football at Florida. More from his bio below :

"Tebow played quarterback for Nease High School in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida and was ranked among the top quarterback prospects in the nation as a high school senior. He ultimately chose to attend the University of Florida. As a backup to starter Chris Leak and a key situational contributor, Tebow helped the Gators win the national championship during the 2006 college football season. Tebow was the Gators' starting quarterback during the 2007 season and became the first college football player to both rush and pass for 20 or more touchdowns in a single season. Consequently, he became the first college sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy. In 2008, Tebow led Florida to a 13-1 record and its second national championship in three years, and was named the offensive MVP of the national championship game. The Gators again went 13-1 and finished with a top- ranking in 2009, Tebow's senior year.

"Tebow was selected in the 1st round of the 2010 NFL draft by the Denver Broncos. He started the last three games of his rookie season and became the Broncos' full-time starting QB beginning in the 6th game of 2011. The team was 1-4 before Tebow began playing regularly, but immediately began winning with him on the field, often by coming from behind late in the 4th quarter, until they won the AFC West title. His legend as an unorthodox but winning NFL QB was enhanced on January 8, 2012 when he lead the Broncos with a game-winning sudden death overtime win over the Pittsburgh Steelers before a national television audience." || http://bit.ly/wqXq9n

His mother was a painter and his grandmother was a woodcarver who passed on the skill. From childhood on, he drew. Finding art school too restrictive, he switched to UCLA and earned a bachelor's degree in art in 1960. || alt@search : http://bit.ly/uqKbjU

"I never wanted to be a fine artist. I always wanted to carry on a conversation with the public," Stermer said in the 2004 book "The Undressed Art: Why We Draw."

This Guy Could Could Float Your Parade

2012-01-02T15:03:00.000-08:00

: Unforgettable :

He made stunning Rose Parade floats

Bill Lofthouse, float builder : On January 2, 2012, millions witnessed the annual Rose Parade, watching but not realizing the legacy of a legendary float maker.

The builder of some of the most spectacular floats in the Tournament of Roses for decades, Bill Lofthouse was 68 years old when he died in 2008 of pancreatic cancer. If you've watched the Rose Parade, LA KPCC's Nick Roman says you've probably marveled at Bill Lofthouse's work. | http://lat.ms/tKHPPY

"Lofthouse pushed float design into movement and sound, and his creations grew bigger and flashier each year. Remember a giant float . . . that changed from a robot to a spaceship that blasted fiery exhaust? Bill Lofthouse's Phoenix Decorating built it, and won the parade's Innovation Award."

That award's been given out for only the last four years. Guess who's won it every time? Phoenix Decorating won 11 out of 24 awards this year, proving the lasting Lofthouse legacy and eye for timeless float design, too.

Bill Lofthouse used to say that 50 years ago. He followed a pretty girl into the shed where float builder and designer Isabella Coleman assembled her masterpieces.

He ended up with the girl, Gretchen, who married him, and with a job when Coleman hired him. Bill Lofthouse eventually became the most successful float builder in the Tournament of Roses. For five years now, his son Chris has run Phoenix Decorating. So a fella named Lofthouse still builds more floats, and more spectacular floats, than anyone else. ALSO READ : Phoenix Decorating Company puts the floats on the road for 2012 Rose Parade | http://exm.nr/vuZJlY

BLOGGER'S NOTE : Several years ago, I had the distinct opportunity to work closely with Bill Lofthouse when I was the Director of Development for the Methodist Hospital Foundation, Arcadia, and Bill was the chairman of the Foundation Major Gifts Committee. His volunteer leadership for that cause became legendary and I look back upon my association with him to be a hallmark of my career in hospital fund development.

2012 float awards by parade order

His tableau crafted art from scrap metal

2012-01-02T03:57:00.000-08:00

Unforgettable
: American Sculptor :
J.A. Chamberlain

"Art works because it appeals to certain faculties of the mind. Music depends on details of the auditory system, painting and sculpture on the visual system. Poetry and literature depend on language."

Steven Pinker

J.A.C. : A prolific American sculptor whose use of crushed automobile sheet metal became his signature during a career that spanned half a century, died December 28 in New York City. He was 84.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

alt@search : http://lat.ms/t8NnHs || amplified

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

John Angus Chamberlain (April 16, 1927 – December 21, 2011, was an American artist. At the time of his death he resided and worked on Shelter Island, New York.

Clipped from one published obit about this unforgettable : "Although the artist claimed that his knowledge of art history was scant, he often made sculptures that acknowledged ancient precedent in up-to-date materials. The welded metal "totems" David Smith made in the 1950s from old boilers, shop tools and other industrial scrap were the most important immediate antecedent to his work, as were the muscular abstract paintings of his friend Franz Kline. The linear space and vivid Expressionist palette of Willem de Kooning also had a profound impact. Yet, piecing together junkyard scraps of twisted automobiles, Chamberlain could create imposing abstract monoliths that displayed the dramatic sweep of Hellenistic Greek carvings or the coiled energy of Italian Baroque tableaux."

99 ways you probably won’t win this contest, but you can try, right?

2010-09-01T16:43:00.000-07:00

99 ways you probably won’t win this contest, but you can try, right?: They say that one has a better chance of being struck by lightening than to win the Lottery. Well, here is a contest that perhaps has longer odds than that.

Earlier today, I posted this clip and then deleted it while I conducted more research which still confirms my earlier bewilderment about this offering. I know why these sponsors are conducting this sweepstakes, but I have a hard time understanding why anyone would seriously consider the GRAND PRIZE opportunity contained herein. Read the full details and ask:

What are the chances Downtown Los Angeles will record a precise temperature of 99 degrees on 10/31/10, the basic requirement for contestants to become eligible for the GRAND PRIZE? I have searched unsuccessfully for the true odds of that happening and the closest confirming data I can find is at http://bit.ly/cAv2YI where the record shows that the mean daily temperature in October for LA is 68.6, trending toward 61.8 for the month of November. I doubt if there has ever been an October 31 date with an LA temp even close to 99? If that has happened, then I would like someone to confirm the data and I will eat this post.

Despite the odds, thousands around LA LA Land will probably enter this sweeps, confounding the statisticians and the weather man and proving that optimism always trumps reality.

Amplify is a service for engaging in conversation about news, thoughts and ideas that people share. Not all conversations can be had in fewer than 140 characters, so while Twitter is an amazing place for keeping up with what's going on in the world, Amplify is the place to talk about it.

Whether it's sharing a clip from an article or blog post you're reading, or simply sharing a URL or posting a quick thought, Amplify lets you share your take without restriction and provides a user experience and interface that prioritizes conversation. We do this not only because there is so much to learn from engaging in conversation with others or because it is enjoyable, but also because of the uniquely powerful ways in which conversation can enable people to get to know each other and form deeper connections.
