After divorcing the sister of a dear deviantART friend that many Fractalists most likely know well :devn8iveattitude1:  
This individual, a registered sex offender in a State in USA, is repeatedly getting the custody of their two very young children (a 3 yo boy and 8 yo girl), through lies and who knows what other means, he keeps fooling the Court in getting their custody.

This has reached an untenable monetary situation for Light and her sister Jess, and now I think it's time for all her friends to help in anyway we can.

This card is an update of the one I posted last December, :blushes: but I am preparing another and I wanted to post this Journal if possible tonight -this morning really.

I expect to add more Xmassy content later on, for now I thought it was about time to change what I had in my previous Journal and add a few updates.

Stunning news

Today Wednesday October 27th our ex-president Ernesto Kirchner, and husband of our current President, Mrs. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, died of a suspected heart attack. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1324272/Nestor-Kirchner-husband-Argentinas-president-dies-heart-attack.html

Don't know what this would mean to our country and the -in my opinion- precariously balanced economy. He was supposed to run for another term in 2011 after Mrs. Kirchner.  For good or bad that might have meant some sort of stability or at least continuity. :shrug:

While preparing the draft for my  September / October News Feature  ,  I realized how many artists and how outstanding art I got to know by browsing my friends' journals and news articles.

Of all the intermittent "fads" in this blessed (?) site, the Featuring system is one of the really useful ones, both for the featured artists as well as those browsing the site or some of our friend's journals or special news articles.

The means of having collected a great many of the following beautiful pieces, made me realize how important and helpful is the Featuring system. One of dA's really useful "fads" :D

Just a few words to apologize for the long time without updating, some contests have already ended. There are a few still going on, if only for a few days.

One of the reasons that I am so "sluggish" in updating, is that I detest to delete the short term features, I would leave them all for the same period, but I know it would not be fair to the winners :nod: the other -at present anyway- is that I was so swamped with deviations to look at that I forgot what I promised to feature and to whom :D :blushes:
