For those who may not know, my wife @emilyannepastor is a classical-trained and nationally-recognized oil painter. She has several originals and prints for sale at the moment, including THARSEŌ, a *very* cool new block carving/contemplative realism piece.
Check out her work!
The grass at this year's World Cup has traveled farther than some of the fans.
Half of this year's tournament stadiums were built with artificial turf for football, so FIFA had to bring in natural grass to transform them into soccer pitches. That meant growing custom hybrid grass on farms, trucking it hundreds of miles across multiple states, and maintaining it—sometimes under stadium roofs with artificial lights.
TIME senior sports correspondent Sean Gregory went behind the scenes at Los Angeles Stadium, to see what it takes to prepare one of the world's most important playing surfaces.
I’ve resorted to hunting for pics of the garden in the snow in the hope it makes me feel a little cooler. Don’t think it’s actually helping but whatever… #gardening#heatwave
Fifteen years ago, I founded the @GarySiniseFound with a simple mission: to serve and honor our nation's defenders, veterans, first responders, and their families.
And the incredible impact we've made together over the last decade and a half has been remarkable. From specially adapted smart homes and support for families of fallen heroes to programs serving our wounded heroes and first responders, our ever expanding reach, touching more and more lives in such a positive way would not have been possible without the generosity of the American people.
As we celebrate this milestone, I'm deeply grateful to everyone who has joined us on this journey. And thanks to the extraordinary generosity of the McBunch family, every gift made during our 15th Anniversary celebration will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $250,000.
Thank you for helping us serve those who sacrifice so much for our country. Here's to the next 15 years. Donate today at https://t.co/u7xo8O8mJd
@unusual_whales 1 out of 4 single family homes are rentals. The number for Institutional investors should be ZERO……
Homeowners should not be competing with Wall Street for home ownership.
After months and months of complaining, it's possible that this World Cup will go down as the best event in American hosting history.
Crowds are amazing and all the stars are coming through.
