Nasty Bubblemails
by Jo O'BrienI seem to get my share of creepy and nasty bubblemails and emails. Thankfully not all that often, but often enough. I have always use…
I seem to get my share of creepy and nasty bubblemails and emails. Thankfully not all that often, but often enough. I have always used two tactics with such people. The first is to reply to them “I don’t think that was an appropriate email to send, but seeing as how you do, you won’t mind me publishing it with your email address on my profile.” While this works well as a scare tactic, it doesn’t prevent them from moving onto another victim. The other tactic is to report the offending bubblemail to redbubble using the link provided and let someone objective review it and act. Today I got an (in my opinion unprovoked) email that said: “You are so disgusting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” This is just the latest. I’ve had much worse: untalented, slut, idiot, you should be ashamed, f words, revolting… the list goes on. Heck, I’m the first to admit when I’ve pushed someone’s buttons wrong but I’m only quoting ‘out of the blue’ type mails here. Anyway… I’m on a tangent. My discussion questions are: What do you think is the best way to deal with people who bubblemail or email nasty things? Do people actually use the report button? And if not – why not? Any good ideas for how to tackle situations where people are not as lovely as they first appear? Where does this type of behavior become bullying or harrassment?

19×25 colored pencil. Original available. Appearance / Bull Terriers are thick-set and muscular with a short, dense coat. Acceptable colours are white, (skin pigmentation and markings on the head are not penalised in the UK show ring), any colour other than white, or any colour with white markings (although Blue and liver are highly undesirable). The Bull Terrier’s most distinctive feature is its head, described as ‘egg shaped’ when viewed from the front, almost flat at the top, with a Roman muzzle sloping evenly down to the end of the nose with no stop. The unique triangular eyes are small, dark, and closely set. The body is full and round, while the shoulders are robust and muscular and the tail is carried horizontally. It walks with a jaunty gait, and is popularly known as the ‘gladiator of the canine race’. There is no set height or weight of the breed but the average is, Height: 16-22 inches (40-56 cm.), Weight: 35-60 pounds (15-36 kg.) The Bull Terrier is the only recognized breed with triangular eyes. / Temperament / Bull Terriers are known as friendly and outgoing dogs, even having a “clownish” attitude about them, though they are not generally ideal for a first-time dog owner. Their physical strength is matched by their intelligence, and both body and mind need to be kept active. They can be fun and playful. As a breed they are generally placid and will not normally make the first move. They are very affectionate dogs that love human company. Bull Terriers are particularly good with children, and usually have a high pain threshold, which reduces the risk of injury from a defensive bite. Younger dogs, however, may regard children as playmates and because of their strength could cause inadvertent injury. They are protective of children in their charge. Bull Terriers make formidable guard dogs while their owners are away. The American Temperament Test Society, Inc. (ATTS), a not-for-profit organization that promotes uniform temperament testing for dog breeds, gives the Bull Terrier a pass rate of 91.5%. The average for all breeds is 81.5%. / Health / All puppies should be checked for deafness, as this sometimes occurs (most commonly in pure white dogs) and is difficult to notice, especially in a relatively young puppy. Many Bull Terriers have a tendency to develop skin allergies. Insect bites, such as fleas, and sometimes mosquitoes and mites, can produce a generalized allergic response of hives, rash, and itching. This condition can be stopped by keeping the dog free of contact from these insects, but this is definitely a consideration in climates or circumstances where exposure to these insects is inevitable. Their lifespan is somewhere between 10 and 14 years, although they can live longer – the oldest female Bull Terrier on record being an Australian housepet dubbed “Puppa Trout” who remained sprightly into her 17th year. The Bull Terrier’s coat is easy to maintain, but grooming can keep it in near-perfect condition. Adding oils to their meals can also vastly improve the quality of their coat. The Bull Terrier requires a fair amount of exercise, but overworking the dog at a young age will cause strained muscles. Older dogs do require exercise, but in small doses, whereas younger ones will be happy to play for hours on end. The breed is renowned for being extremely greedy; be sure to maintain a good balance of exercise and food, or the dog can become overweight. Also, be sure to check ears, eyes, nose and mouth every day for signs of infection. Common Ailments: Deafness, Umbilical Hernia and Acne. Bull Terriers can also suffer from Obsessive complusive behavior, such as tail chasing, self mutilation, and obsessive licking.

My husband Jacob and Bully are brothers in spirit and are closest friends since childhood in Hana. Both own Harley’s and have ridden together most of their lives. Jacob and Bully are Kanaka Maoli , much loved and well respected Kupuna, with a large loving wonderful ohana and surrounded and embraced by a wide circle of friends. Makawao, Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved / Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / 31 January 2009 Singular: kanaka / Plural: kânaka / Pronunciation: [kah nah’ kah] / Meanings for the term Kanaka: Human being, man, person, individual, party, mankind, population; subject, as of a chief; laborer, servant, helper; attendant or retainer in a family (usually a term of affection or pride) / Meanings for term Kanaka Maoli: refers to the indigenous Hawaiian For Hawaiians, there is a primal connection to the universe, to nature, to the land and the sea, a connection that comes from a deep spiritual as well as genealogical belief system. Nature is where it all begins for the Hawaiians. In fact, they call themselves keiki o ka ‘aina – “children of the land.” The ‘aina (land) is not just soil, sand or dirt. The ‘aina is a heart issue for Hawaiians. The very word ‘aina brings forth deep emotion evolved from ancestral times when people lived in nature as an integral part of it. Mankind and nature were considered siblings born to the same parents at the beginning of time. The word ‘aina literally means “that which feeds,” and maka ‘ainana, a term for the common class of people, means “eyes of the land.” Thus, nature feeds man and man watches over nature in return. The land gave the ancients everything they needed–not just food, but clothing, housing, weapons, tools, musical instruments, canoes–everything they crafted, wore and ate came from plants, animals or fish. Dependent on nature, they revered and respected it. Success depended on living in harmony with nature. In Hawaiian tradition, cooperation comes largely from a notion of respect for one’s own extended family (‘ohana). And Hawaiians believe they have a genealogical connection as well as a spiritual connection to Mother Nature and all that she provides. For Hawaiians, the stars in the sky are the Mother, the sky is the Father, the Earth is the Grandmother, the Kalo (Taro) plant is the elder brother, and the Islands are the Aunties and Uncles. Hawaiians can trace their genealogy back to all things… the earth, sky, stars, and the Kalo. Thus, the connection between ‘ohana (family) and the ‘aina (land) is very strong. A GENEALOGICAL CONNECTION / Depending on the canoe in which a Hawaiian’s ‘ohana arrived in Hawai’i, his or her genealogical belief system begins with Papahanaumoku (Earth Mother) and Wakea (Sky Father). With the union of Papa and Wakea comes the birth of the islands in the Hawaiian chain…beginning with Hawai’i and Maui. The third born was Ho’ohokukalani (to make stars in the sky). Soon after, Wakea and his daughter Ho’ohokukalani unite to create the islands of… O’ahu and Lana’i. Their union also creates Haloa Naka, a fetus born without life that is buried. In the place where the fetus is buried sprouts the first Kalo plant. Soon after, Haloa is born a strong and healthy man and becomes the first Hawaiian person. Papa and Wakea then re-unite and create the last of the Hawaiian island chain…Lana’i, Moloka’i, Kaho’olawe and Ni’ihau. “Na ali’i o ke kuamo’o o Haloa” / Chiefs of the lineage of Haloa… / Said of high chiefs whose lineage goes back to ancient times. / Mary Kawena Puku’i – ‘Olelo No’eau This genealogy of Papa and Wakea is critical in forming the relationship between Hawaiians and the ‘aina around them. There is a saying in Hawaiian, “I pa’a i ike kalo ‘a’ole ‘oe e puka” or “If it had ended with the Kalo you would no be here.” The Kalo plant plays a vital part in the genealogy of the Hawaiian people as their most important crop and main sustenance. The term ‘ohana comes from the Kalo plant itself. When one talks about the parts of the Kalo plant, the corm of the Kalo is called the “Oha,” the part of the plant used to feed one’s ‘ohana. Thus, Hawaiians are linked on several levels to the world around them – the sky, the earth, the plants and the sea. From this emotional and spiritual connection to nature, to all that’s around them, Hawaiians invented the term Malama– “to take care of..” To Malama the ‘aina or kai (sea), to take care of the land and the sea, to protect and conserve the environment, is directly linked to protecting and conserving the ‘ohana and all people of good will. Herb Kane, artist, writer and co-founder of the Polynesian Voyaging Society, defines aloha the following way: “An unquestioning friendship and desire to share, developed within the ‘ohana but extended to all persons of good will, aloha has been variously defined as affection, compassion, mercy, sympathy, civility, kindness and charity. It is given without restraint or ulterior motive, and it is expressed with a geniality which springs from one who is secure in his society and his environment.” The “aloha spirit” is a friendliness, a caring, a willingness to be helpful, most often expressed as the hospitality (Ho’okipa) Ancient Hawaiian children grew up in a warm and affectionate world where people not related by blood were considered part of the ‘ohana, or extended family. To Hawaiians, the family consisted not only of the usual blood relatives, but also those who were loved or who chose to participate in cooperative actions. The ‘ohana is not unique to Hawai’i or to Polynesia. The extended family or clan structure is universal in human society, although it’s more pronounced in agrarian societies before the emergence of individualism and market economies. Hawaiians and Polynesians were very much aware of themselves as a member of the larger ‘ohana. “The Polynesian universe was ordered on the concept of unquestioning deference towards elders.” / Herb Kane “In Hawaiian tradition, there is a great respect for elders (kûpuna) which surpassed any feelings of individuality. In old Hawai’i, kûpuna were respected as keepers of Hawai’i’s wisdom and knowledge. Still today, younger Hawaiians are told: Nânâ i ke kumu— “Look to the source.” Seniority has for countless generations been a key factor in a person’s status in Hawaiian society. Other residents of the youth-oriented United States can learn much from the Hawaiians about respecting and revering the wisdom of the elderly. (They) are inspirational models of healthy, successful aging and of passionate involvement – both in life and in (their activities). They also embody the Hawaiian values of ‘ohana and Aloha. Hawaiians, in general, to their eternal credit, are still known as a people of a loving and generous nature. Hawaiian culture has left an important, humanizing legacy for the world.” / Hawaiian History and Cultural Information Source

19×24 watercolor enhanced colored pencil. Original available. This piece was started and finished without the ghost image.

Complete 2009

Speeding through Brookwood on the Southern’s West of England main line rebuilt Merchant Navy 4.6.2 No 35022 “Holland America Line” is at the head of a Waterloo -Bournemouth express. The thirty strong Merchant Navy class was introduced during the Second World War on the Southern Railway by O V S Bullied and originally carried an overall air smoothed casing with chain driven valve gear, which earned them the nickname “Spamcans” by footplatemen unimpressed by these innovations. Due to various problems it was decided to rebuild the entire class to the handsome form seen here in the 1950s, doing away with the air-smoothed casing, fitting coventional Walschaerts valve gear, relocating the lubricators and fitting efficent smoke deflectors and in this form they lasted to the end of steam on the Southern Region in 1967. An oil painting like this of your favourite locomotive, British or American, on a 20”x30” canvas would cost £1000 on average, worth thinking about? Go to my web-site www.transportartist.co.uk for my contact details to commission your painting and own a piece of art that can only increase in value over the years.

Was debating as whether or not to put this up as it felt a bit cheeky but it is an important image within my school series. This one was conceived as an idea about bullying. Thankfully I wasn’t bullied physically but I know people who were and it is terrible – it is one of my worse fears for my children too. I wanted to portray the isolation, betrayal and loneliness a child feels when they are bullied.

Small White Child
by Karin TaylorLong long time ago, in the land where the ancient Wiradjuri people lived and thrived for over 40…
The Small White Child is just the story I’ve been wanting to tell, which happened to me between the ages of 9 and 14. The story is set in Australia. After my unhappy experiences back then I moved away from that region and learned to love and be loved by a family of indigenous people in a different region…these gorgeous people accepted and loved me for who I was resulting in the perfect harmonic balance required for healing. Reflecting on all sides of issues I feel is important because there are many different perspectives and it is in examining the many that the one deep understanding can be formed and healing can begin
