Iron Man Blogging Challenge
There is just one small nitpick - if the goal is: "to promote the language to the world outside the Perl echo-chamber" then the rule that the all the posts need to be about Perl is misguided. If we want to talk to "the world outside the Perl echo-chamber" then we need to talk about the subjects that they care about. I can understand why we need some focusing - and posts about what you had for dinner are not the best way to promote the language - but it will be much easier to engage the outside audience if we wrote about general programming subjects. Look at advertisings - they don't talk about the advertised brand all the time, the more subtle the link is, the more engaging they are.
Update: I should have added that this post was inspired by Gabor Szabo: http://szabgab.com/blog/2009/06/1245788806.html

I wrote a somewhat related post, but that you know as you have commented there too.
At first I did not understand your post but now I think I got it.
Still I think if you give more examples of what do you mean that would help people to think about posts.
- zby said...
As an example you can take my post on scaffoldings (http://perlalchemy.blogspot.com/2009/06/on-scaffoldings.html). Now it can be not interesting at all, but I believe it has more potential to engage people from outside of the Perl community than a post about some Perl library, or technique or something. It discusses things that are relevant to every programmer, it talks about the metaphor introduced in Rails - this is something that the Rails people could read and relate to (if it was interesting). So in general if you want to engage the outside world then talk about their problems, use their language - the link to Perl will always be obvious to every reader and even if it was not obvious it still has more chances to get through.
- Mutant said...
Well, my philosophy is, if I think it's interesting to the Perl community, or people on Iron Man, then I'll just tag it Perl, and have it show up on the Planet, even if it's not directly Perl related.
If I was blogging about my cat, then tagging it Perl would be an abuse, but if I'm blogging about testing (as I have just done) then I don't see a problem tagging it Perl.
Maybe they need to have another tag that the planet picks up (e.g. Iron Man) so you can force those posts to show up without polluting your Perl tag space.
- Matt said...
What mutant said. I'll get the planet updated to handle an 'ironman' tag.
But half my posts are "things I think perl people will be interested in", and I think that's correct.
If you think every post has to be specifically about perl, UR COMPREHENDING IT COMPLETELY WRONG - so hop onto #epo-ironman and tell us what we need to change to make it more clear.
- zby said...
Matt I think you need to adjust the wording at the rules page then: "The rules are very simple: you blog, about Perl."

BenCohen needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 65 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
PinkNews.co.uk is the largest gay news website in Europe. Appealing to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered readers it concentrates coverage on gay politics, the law, employment issues, religion, entertainment and community news.
It's a 5 year old website from a social-purpose / non-profit making company that has revolutionised the way that gay media operates in Britain.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered audience primarily based in the UK as well as the USA and Australia.
A new logo that works with either the full website addressPinkNews.co.uk or simply PinkNews. At this stage we are flexibile in the use of capitals so pinknews.co.uk may also work.
Our current corporate colour is R:239 G:183 B:196 and if possible we'd like some of the logo to be in that scheme. Our current logo is attached.
We currently state "News, reviews and comment from Europe's largest gay news service" and we'd like the option for that to appear below the logo.
The logo could incorporate a "news" look, perhaps a newspaper device or could reflect the rainbow colours of the gay liberation movement. Perhaps it could use the a strip of the gay rainbow colours red, oragne, yellow, green, blue, purple in some way.
The logo will also need to easily repurpose when shrunk down in size for viewing on mobile devices. It is likely on our soon to be redesigned website that the logo will be shrunk down to either 250px in width or perhaps a wider logo which is not very high. The winning design can't be square it must either be wider than high or higher than wide.

A former employee of Second Chance Jai-Alai who said he was wrongfully terminated won a $33,700 jury verdict Wednesday in Ocala.
A former employee of Second Chance Jai-Alai who said he was wrongfully terminated won a $33,700 jury verdict Wednesday in Ocala.
"It was all that my client asked for. He couldn't be any more happy," said attorney Michael Massey, who represented plaintiff Matthew Stevenson.
Stevenson was working as a card dealer in Second Chance's poker room when his swipe badge, which he used to clock in and out of work, broke.
In the federal lawsuit, filed in July 2011, Stevenson said he pleaded for a new badge for months and began recording his hours on a time sheet next to the time clock.
Stevenson said he was approached by a supervisor who told him he needed to start using the time clock if he wanted to get paid.
He was then approached by a woman in charge of inputting the hours into a computer. She said if he didn't start using the time clock he would not get paid for hours worked, the complaint said.
Stevenson alleges in the complaint that he was approached two more times about not using the time clock or having his employee number — despite explaining to his supervisors that he had neither the badge nor an employee number.
In February 2011, Stevenson said, one of his supervisors promised to get him an employee number and told him that "this was his final warning; if he did not use the number they were going to stop paying him," the complaint said.
At that time, Stevenson told the supervisor that the threat was illegal and the business would have to pay him; otherwise, he would take legal action.
Stevenson said he was fired on Feb. 28 without explanation.
He alleged that the firing "was a direct result of management taking offense" to his "objections to not being paid for time worked," the complaint said.
The complaint was brought under the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act and Florida's Whistleblower Statute.
Second Chance denied all allegations and said it had not violated the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Massey said the $33,700 award was for damages Stevenson sustained after he was fired.
Massey said the amount will more than likely be increased to pay for other damages and attorney's fees.
The business' attorney could not be reached for comment.

Personal Computers vs. Palm OS vs. PocketPC
I am not expert in the PDA and PocketPCs field, I posted this so anyone with less knowledge than me. Please correct any factual errors you may see.
The differences of a PDA (personal digital assistant) and a computer is very significant design. First off you have many options for both, but to keep it simple, a computer is a device that runs a operating system, which allows you to either input information, export it or do other miscellaneous activities. Many things can be done with a computer, such as calculate math problems, word processing, internet browsing, and message other people with any other available instant messenging system. The downside of a computer is usually there is a huge bulky display, speakers, keyboards, mice, towers and other peripherals. T hese types of computers are called desktops. Furthermore there is an alternative for computers and you get much of the same experience if not everything; notebooks are getting smaller, lighter and more compact and they are getting more and more efficient.
Not to be outdone, Personal Digital Assistants, (PDAs for short) are super small, sleek and offer a great way of doing things. Originally PDAs were used for their contact management system, calendar, and to-do list functionality. As the technology has evolved, PDA capabilities have increased and today you can check email, browse the web, and edit documents with your PDA, and export and import them your computer. It may also be important to note, that you can solely use your PDA, as just that, and you may not want to use it with a computer, also you don't necessary need a PC any longer because a PDA performs it functions.
There are two main types of PDAs: Palm OS and PocketPCs.
Palm OS was the first to hit the consumer market and offer many things such as contact
management system, calendars, etc, etc. Since they were the first to be in the market, they still have a staggering command of over 70% of the market. Millions have sold, thus with the hugely popular success of the Palms; PocketPCs enter the market offering many of the very similar features. A PocketPC looks like a smaller version of the windows environment, which may or may not be to your liking, while Palm OS is more simple and less flashy. However there are many standout differences of the two. For example, if you would like to play games, PocketPCs have the superior hardware side of the market which offers better graphics and sound. While this may seem like a very valuable plus, the Palm OS is hands down a better organizer and with a better and more easy to use user interface. In addition, there are games for the Palm OS; just like the PocketPC, Palm OS games are done by individual authors rather than game companies as a whole. Because of this there is more freeware Palm OS games on the internet than there is PocketPC freeware games. With the Palm OS being in command in terms of simplicity, easy to use and software support. The PocketPCs claim to have better games due to its superior multimedia, color display, sound and graphics. That doesn't mean, the Palm OS doesn't have quality games on it. In fact, the Palm has a wide range of games for you to play on and enjoy; even if the PocketPC has a better multimedia experience.
On the hardware side of the PDAs; input devices are not limited to a keyboard like a computer is. Instead input devices can vary from either a pen like object, and touch screen monitor, in accordance with a handwriting recognition program, to using a keyboard, or making use of voice-recognition technology, where you talk to your PDA. In retrospect, the computer market can be said to be going in the same direction. Most PDAs, are powered by batteries, which are Lithium-Ion, Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.
The battery life depends on what kind of PDA you have and how long it is turned on, but you can always recharge your PDA. Memory is used instead of a hard drive and is used to store the basic programs, like a calendar and a memo diary, even the operating system, in ROM, (read only memory). (NOTE: Computers use RAM; random access memory). The huge advantage of "read only memory" is that when the PDA is turned on, your programs are available immediately. Any changes that are made, are stored automatically. The memory of a PDA can be upgraded or there may be an extra storage slot available on the PDA itself. As mentioned before, the operating system is stored in ROM and is worth noting on how it works. The operating system, handles pre-programmed instructions that tell the processor what to do. Different PDAs use different operating systems, for example: Palm OS (3Com) or PocketPC (Microsoft Windows CE). Palm OS takes up less memory and runs faster, while Pocket PC supports better color displays and may take more hardware to run.. Processors is the brain of any PDA and or PC. It synchronizes it's functions according to the instructions programmed. Processors used in PDAs are much smaller and considerably slower than those in computers, (desktops and notebooks.) With this disadvantage (depending on how you look at it, it can make it an advantage or a disadvantage), the processors used in PDAs is more than adequate to perform tasks in PDAs, granted it has good programmed applications on it. As with everything, what may be adequate now, might not be adequate in the future.
If you want to connect your PDA to your computer you will need a few things, your computer will need an access port, or input/output, such as an USB port, infrared interface, or wireless internet and email. Synchronization software is often needed, an example such as HotSync, makes it easy for you to connect your PDA to your computer and keep both systems up to date with any changes that have been made to entries on either the computer or PDA. This is useful for backing up your data.
More on the software side; the applications vary from one PDA to another, however you can find many of the same things on most PDAs, Software Applications vary from one PDA to another. You will find most on the following on some or most PDAs: a memo pad, notepad, calculator, expenses, to-do List, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Excel, Windows Media Player, a date book, and address list. However again depending on your PDA of choice, you may find alternative applications to Microsoft's products.
The final question comes to mind whether or not, you really need a PDA. Because if you don't really need it and will never use it, you will probally have ended up wasting a lot of money. But if you find you are forgetful or you just want to better manage your time, or save money by what the secretary is doing, then by all means invest in a PDA. Since they are very similar, you should try both in the store and decide what your budget can afford. The fighting over which one is better will never end, it just comes down to the price, and what kind of preference you have.

AMD today announced the Radeon HD 4870 X2 graphics card, which shouldn't catch any of our readers off guard since we have already published a preview on a prototype card. The Radeon HD 4870 X2 is basically two ATI Radeon HD 4870 series GPUs with a more advanced cross-GPU connection based on the PCIe 2.0 standard, plus two gigabytes of GDDR5 memory on a single printed circuit board (PCB).
With 2.4 teraFLOPS of graphics horse power, 1600 stream processors and 2GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus this might be the fastest and most powerful graphics card available if it does well in the benchmarks. With 956 million transistors per core these are the real deal! The ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 is immediately available from e-tailers worldwide priced at USD $549 MSRP.
The just released Radeon HD 4870 X2 graphics card has the exact same features as the Radeon HD 4870; just has twice as much everything as you can see from the feature chart above.
Like I mentioned in our preview on the Radeon HD 4870 X2, the card has an improved PCI Express 2.0 bridge chip and has a total interconnect bandwidth of 21.8GB/Sec. The old Radeon HD 3870 X2 had a total interconnect bandwidth of just 6.8GB/Sec, so this is a huge improvement. You might notice that the Radeon HD 4870 X2 has something called sideport for direct connection between the GPUs. This feature is in the hardware, but is not enabled via software as it is not needed right now. AMD informed us that when future games come out that they could enabled sideport through a driver update to improve performance. We contacted AMD to get a comment on this 'mystery' feature and were given this statement to pass along to our readers:
The sideport is an advanced interconnect technology introduced in the ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 to deliver additional bandwidth if and when needed. To date, the improved Gen 2 PCI Express bridge in the ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 has provided more than enough interconnect bandwidth without use of the sideport, however its inclusion does provide headroom for future applications.
If the ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 is out of your price range then the upcoming Radeon HD 4850 X2 graphics card might be worth the wait. The ATI Radeon HD 4850 X2 is scheduled to be available in September at an estimated price of USD $399. What is this a Radeon HD 4850 X2 graphics card? Basically, the Radeon HD 4850 X2 is two Radeon HD 4850 cores on one PCB. The performance will be lower than that of the Radeon HD 4870 X2, but it should offer a great price versus performance value when it arrives next month.

On Sept. 21, American University in Kosovo students organized the "Opening Day" of the first 50 wheelchairs that have arrived as a result of the Kosova Cap Project.
Kosova Cap Project is a humanitarian project that aims to help people who need but cannot afford wheelchairs by recycling plastic bottle caps. The project is implemented by American University in Kosovo Charity Club and Green Club — two community organizations founded and led by Kosovo students.
The project officially started in December 2011 under the initiative of senior student Korab Ahmeti. About 25 of the wheelchairs were a result of plastic caps collected since then. The other wheelchairs were donated by Kushtrim Ahmeti, a Kosovar currently studying in Turkey and who was one of the initiators of the Cap Project idea.
On Sept. 24, wheelchairs were donated to 10 families living in the Prishtina and Fushe Kosove regions. Student volunteers will donate the remaining wheelchairs to the other cities until all 50 identified families in need receive the wheelchairs. Families identified live in Prishtina, Fushe Kosove, Peja, Ferizaj, Gjilan, Mitrovica and Shtime.
Since the university serves as the main collection point for the caps, it has become a venue of visitors from around Kosovo who deliver their collection to the campus.
"Fifty wheelchairs might not be much, when you look from the financial perspective," says Mrika Aliu, class of 2011 and one of the coordinators in this project, "but what makes this project very special is the spirit of giving that we are seeing among the entire population. We have seen kids from kindergarten bringing caps to our campus, as well as elderly from retirement homes. Every household in Kosovo is collecting caps and this is what makes us so happy."
RIT opened the university in Pristina 2003 in an effort to help Kosovo rebuild after the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s.

My daughter is almost 10 months old and had a very rough start; unlike my other children we ended up exclusively pumping for her from 4 months on (she had silent reflux) and we were adding formula to breastmilk to get enough calories in her. At this point she is growing awesome and fine with just fortified formula and solids, but I've still been pumping and fortifying that too and she drinks both. I am now 6 weeks pregnant and I am thinking of just stopping the pumping. Doc said it was okay to keep it up, but I guess, other than nutritionally (for her, which is an obvious one for me), what are the benefits? Any physical/hormonal benefits for me and the new baby/pregnancy? I am only pumping about 2 of her 5 bottles anyway, so I am more supplementing her at this point. It would be nice to stop the pump, honestly.
I am also on progesterone shots for the pregnancy because my progesterone is low (always is); I have a history of preterm labor on my last two pregnancies even going back to implantation; this one, oddly enough, is going VERY smoothly and I don't want to mess with cutting off the pumping if that is going to change something hormonally. I feel like a pin is going to drop if I stop since it's all going so well this pregnancy so far. LOL

Cheryl Cole's Shoe Line Proves Faulty
The always fashionable Cheryl Cole recently launched a line of shoes she co-designed with StylistPick.com but the singer and ousted 'X Factor' judge has been hit with complaints from customers.
While the shoes look good, they are poorly constructed. The Your Royal Hotness stiletto, which is suede, with a closed toe, ankle strap and studs, has bore the brunt of the criticism from those who've purchased them. It's doubly embarrassing for Cole, since she said this particular heel was her "signature shoe," saying it had to be girly and glam in order to represent her."
The Sun reports that Sheena Smith, 31, of West London was not impressed with the shoe, saying, "I love Cheryl Cole's style and thought the shoes looked fantastic on the website. When I got them, there was immediately a problem with the heel. The packaging was fantastic but the quality of the shoes was awful." Smith was disappointed she was unable to wear them to her holiday party.
Now, suppliers are warning customers that the shoe might be faulty, offering a replacement pair or a refund if the stitching fails. The Sun reports that Stylistpick even issued this statement: "We advise there is a slight possibility your shoes may have a minor fault."
Yikes! Poor Cheryl. First she gets the boot from the U.S. version of 'X Factor' and now her shoes are being viewed as bunk. Hopefully, 2012 will be better for her.

MIDDLEBURY — The UD-3 school board on Tuesday agreed to send voters a proposed 2008-2009 spending plan of $15 million and a request to spend almost $400,000 in surplus funds on security and energy efficiency upgrades to the Middlebury Union high school and middle school buildings.
The proposed budget places the district safely below the per-pupil spending penalty threshold prescribed under the state's education funding law. Under that law, districts that spend 125 percent of the statewide average per-pupil spending level are taxed at a higher rate, with the "penalty" revenues used to help pay for education in poorer towns.
Addison Central Supervisory Union Superintendent Lee Sease said the draft budget reflects a 4.73 percent increase in overall spending compared to the current year.
District officials are still firming up numbers on how the budget will affect taxpayers in the UD-3 member communities of Middlebury, Cornwall, Weybridge, Shoreham, Ripton, Salisbury and Bridport. The UD-3 budget reflects education expenses for both MUHS and MUMS.
Sease acknowledged that the district was in large part able to keep its budget under the state's per-pupil spending threshold because 12 teachers have voiced interest in participating in an early retirement program. This program will allow the district to either keep some of the positions unfilled or hire new teachers at a lower wage scale.
But Sease added a cautionary note about the retirements in a recent memo to UD-3 board members.
"These early retirements have not been fully processed," Sease wrote. "If for some reason these retirements do not come to pass, then substantial reductions-in-force will need to be made to meet the budget as presented."

VERGENNES — A chronic funding shortfall could end a summer childcare program that has served up to 100 Vergennes-area children and their families in recent years.
Mary Johnson Childcare Center co-director Ilana Snyder said the Vergennes Summer School Age Program has been losing between $20,000 and $25,000 annually for the past three years. After seeing the latest numbers at the end of this past summer the MJCC board voted to pull the plug unless more funding could be found.
But MJCC officials are still working on ways to pay for the program, which has operated either at Vergennes Union Elementary School or Vergennes Union High School in recent years and was based at VUHS this past summer.
No one who knows the program — which offers arts, sports, field trips, swimming, and other activities, plus lunches — wants to see it end, Snyder said: Many working-class families rely on it for childcare while schools are out of session, and it also serves many families whose tuition is subsidized by the state.
"It would be a loss for that community," she said. "A hundred kids with no place to go … That's an issue. That's a cause for concern."
Families not helped by the state paid $125 a week last summer for the seven-week, full-day program, which has operated when schools are closed and grew out of the Roxanne Bannister Provencher summer recreation program in the 1990s.
Snyder said MJCC is pursuing additional state funding and private grants for the program, which is too expensive for tuition alone to support.

LINCOLN — The Sargent family of Lincoln will have lots of venison in the freezer this winter and stories to share for years to come thanks to a fortunate combination of hunting acumen and good luck last week.
First Stanley Sargent bagged a trophy buck with one shot from his muzzleloader, then three days later his son Brett Sargent felled an even bigger buck, also with a single shot.
"Always the bridesmaid, never the bride," Stanley said with a wry smile in his voice when asked how he felt upon learning that his son had got the bigger buck. Then he added, "Really, I'm tickled."
It started on Wednesday, Dec. 5. "Everybody had been up there looking for this deer," Stanley said that afternoon, as he nudged the 160-pound animal back into the bed of his truck, blood dripping onto the snow beneath it as he closed the rear gate.
Early that morning he swapped deer stories with fellow hunters while filling up on breakfast at Kinfolk Kountry Restaurant in Bristol. He'd been in the hospital only a week before for a hernia operation, so he hadn't been able to hunt in Vermont muzzleloader season yet.
"If I get one, someone's going to have to help me out," he recalled telling the folks at the restaurant.
Sargent left Kinfolk, and not half a mile up the road, he saw the deer on the edge of the woods, evidently in pursuit of a doe, he said. He pulled over, grabbed his muzzleloader, got out of his truck and shot.
"I see feet flying and horns flying everywhere," he said. But he didn't have any powder left. He'd put his pouch full of muzzleloader paraphernalia away earlier this fall after hunting in New York during muzzleloader season there. After his surgery, Sargent forgot to put it back in his truck.
Speech by Al Gore on the acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize
December 10, 2007
Oslo, Norway
Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, Honorable members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Excellencies, Ladies and gentlemen.
I have a purpose here today. It is a purpose I have tried to serve for many years. I have prayed that God would show me a way to accomplish it.
Sometimes, without warning, the future knocks on our door with a precious and painful vision of what might be. One hundred and nineteen years ago, a wealthy inventor read his own obituary, mistakenly published years before his death. Wrongly believing the inventor had just died, a newspaper printed a harsh judgment of his life's work, unfairly labeling him "The Merchant of Death" because of his invention - dynamite. Shaken by this condemnation, the inventor made a fateful choice to serve the cause of peace.
Seven years later, Alfred Nobel created this prize and the others that bear his name.
Seven years ago tomorrow, I read my own political obituary in a judgment that seemed to me harsh and mistaken - if not premature. But that unwelcome verdict also brought a precious if painful gift: an opportunity to search for fresh new ways to serve my purpose.
Unexpectedly, that quest has brought me here. Even though I fear my words cannot match this moment, I pray what I am feeling in my heart will be communicated clearly enough that those who hear me will say, "We must act."
The distinguished scientists with whom it is the greatest honor of my life to share this award have laid before us a choice between two different futures - a choice that to my ears echoes the words of an ancient prophet: "Life or death, blessings or curses. Therefore, choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live."

ADDISON COUNTY — René Nill never imagined she would get college credit for the work she did as a child on her parents' rabbit farm, or her experience as a paste-up artist at a printing company. But the 47-year-old Vergennes resident found there was plenty she had already learned before setting foot in a Community College of Vermont classroom two years ago. All she needed was a way to articulate that learning.
That's what she found in the Assessment of Prior Learning (APL) course she took at CCV last year. The course, which is being offered again this spring at seven different locations around the state, including Burlington and Rutland, assists adult students in the preparation of individual portfolios through which they request credit for learning acquired on the job, through volunteer work or even in self-taught hobbies.
"Students do not get credit for experience, they get credit for learning through experience," said Gabrielle Dietzel, coordinator of assessment services for the Office of External Programs of the Vermont State Colleges, which evaluates the completed portfolios.
The program, which is one of the oldest of its kind in the country, has been offered for 30 years, but Dietzel said she's seen a rise in enrollment since returning to college after years in the working world has become more common in recent years.
"Adults are going back to school in huge masses," she said. "A lot of our students have a business background. They've risen through the ranks in their company … Now they're 50 years old and they realize that not getting a degree is holding them back from getting promotions. Or they simply want a degree."
BRIDPORT — Ask most people to share their views about the relationship between Israel and Palestine and they will describe a political conflict of epic proportions that is often punctuated by tanks, missiles and suicide bombs.
But a Bridport couple recently returned from the Middle East with a far different take on the state of Palestinian-Israeli relations. Diane Nancekivell and Tom Baskett spent two weeks in the region as part of a tour co-sponsored by Interfaith Peace-Builders and the American Friends Service Committee. They were part of a delegation that toured Israel and Palestine, speaking to many regular folks and citizens' groups that are quietly working on peaceful solutions to one of the world's most volatile disputes.
The simmering feud centers on land claims dating back at least to the mid-1940s and the establishment of an Israeli nation under a United Nations plan. Palestinians have seen their territory shrink over the years and have sought to reclaim territories they believe are rightfully theirs. Israel has disputed those claims.
"We think it's very important for people to understand the truth over there, that it's not one group that is good and another that is bad," said Nancekivell, a retired Episcopal dean and assisting priest at St. Stephen's Church in Middlebury. "It's about two nations trying to find a way to share the land, feel secure in a sense of national identity and prosper in the future."
Nancekivell had been to the region before, as part of a trip organized by Sabeel — a Palestinian Christian organization. She enjoyed her time, and this year wanted to go with her husband. Baskett, a Quaker and retired psychotherapist, was game for the journey.

MIDDLEBURY — Health care is a highly stressful field with a risk of mental or emotional burnout, according to Diana Scholl, chaplain at Porter Hospital. Many medical professionals have found a way to deal with that stress through a new way to approach medicine: reading and discussing literature.
Scholl has helped run Porter's Literature and Medicine program, a book club for doctors, nurses and others in the health care business in the Middlebury area. She says that reading about and discussing the inner lives of others can make a big difference.
"You have to have some way to deal with (burnout), and this gives people a way," said Scholl, who in addition to being chaplain is one of Porter Hospital's liaisons to the Vermont Humanities Council.
The club began about five years ago. The Vermont Humanities Council offers grants to help such programs get started, but Scholl said that Porter has paid its expenses for the past four years. Most participants are nurses and doctors at Porter, but the club also includes administrative and cafeteria staff at Porter, employees of Community Associates and other area medical practitioners that aren't affiliated with Porter Medical Center, and retired medical professionals.
According to Scholl, most hospitals in Vermont have similar book clubs, but Porter's is the most successful in terms of the number of members and consistent attendance. At the Dec. 6 meeting there were 20 guests.
The club's activities sometimes include attendance at cultural events like movies and plays, in addition to reading books. They also discuss a related method called narrative medicine, which encourages doctors and nurses to think of a patient's problem as a story rather than as a collection of symptoms and medication.

After being named one of Maxim's "Hot 100," Comedy Central news anchor Stephen Colbert said he's now hotter than most people's girlfriends. But the Kronkite of comedy said he isn't done getting awards. He wants to be Motor Trend's "Car of the Year."
"I won't tell you where, but I do have a cupholder," he said on The Colbert Report, adding that he also expects to win the Westminster Dog Show.
Aside from his self proclaimed creature comforts, Colbert may lack the horsepower and handling characteristics to make him a contender. But he'd still be a more exciting pick than last year's ho-hum selection.

Nikon Coolpix 7600
Review Date: May 26th 2005
(out of 5 stars)
The Nikon Coolpix 7600 is a compact, stylish and easy-to-use point and shoot digital camera. The scene modes are both numerous and advanced in their implementation and will really help the beginner, and the in-built help system, although limited, will also prove useful. The Nikon Coolpix 7600 has a few new features that aim to make the photographer's life easier, some of which work better than others. D-Lighting was very effective, offering an in-camera solution for revealing detail in the shadow areas of an image without also over-exposing the highlights. The Red-Eye Reduction feature also worked as promised, with no evidence of red-eye. The Face-Priority AF feature sounds like a great idea, but in practice was slow to use and often focused on the wrong object in the scene.
Now onto the limitations. The Nikon Coolpix 7600 is strictly a point and shoot camera, with no creative control over apertures or shutter speeds. It is also not well-suited to capturing fast-moving subjects, with limited continuous shooting modes and no continuous auto-focusing option. The zoom lens is noisy and quite slow in operation. Image quality is only average. Chromatic aberrations were well controlled, but the images were soft out of the camera and you can't change the sharpening level, which means that you will either have to accept that all your photos will be slightly soft, or sharpen them later using a program like Adobe Photoshop. The maximum ISO speed of 200 severely limits the kind of lighting conditions in which you can use the Coolpix 7600. Furthermore, you can't choose the ISO speed yourself and the camera had a tendency to select ISO 50 whenever possible, at the expense of setting a suitable aperture and shutter speed combination.
Other points worth noting are the lack of a histogram, either in playback or whilst taking a photo, which makes judging exposure trickier than it should be. Perhaps the most annoying aspect of the camera's design is that you can't get out of the Play or Menu modes by half-pressing the shutter button, which means that you may miss that important shot. Most other digital cameras allow you to do this and it is something that is sorely missing on the Nikon Coolpix 7600.
Overall the Nikon Coolpix 7600 will be best suited to the point and shoot photographer who is willing to leave most decisions up to the camera and who will mostly use the camera outdoors. For the photographer who requires more control, the Nikon Coolpix 7600 is not such a good choice. The more expensive Nikon Coolpix 7900 that I previously reviewed is a much more capable 7 megapixel camera than the Coolpix 7600 and well worth the extra money.

Nashville, Tenn. - The Lady Bisons took down the Akron Zips out of the Mid American Conference Saturday morning by a score of 7-1.
"We played well, It was good to see us come out and attack the ball early. We scored in the first inning which was good and we took it from there," said head coach Kristen Peck.
The Lady Bisons scored seven runs on seven hits to win the game. Shortstop Abby Keese went two for two with two doubles, two runs and one RBI.
"Abby Keese hit well for us today. It was great to have a consistent threat for us in the middle of the lineup," said Peck.
Second baseman Megan Rottler went two for four with one run, and pitcher Christen Campbell went one for three with a double and two RBI's
The Lady Bisons advance to 4-5 on the season.

In a recent piece, Jeffrey Cufaude wrote about a little experiment he conducted. On purpose, he let his membership expire with three professional associations to see what would happen. What he found was that "1 out of 3 slightly acted in a manner consistent with organizations that profess to be about 'community.' But since then? Crickets. Silence. Nada."
Fortunately, discontinuing communications are not how all membership organizations operate. The 2013 Membership Marketing Benchmarking Report highlights that 32% of associations "continue indefinitely to contact lapsed members."
Here is why staying in touch with former members is so important. Every relationship personal and professional can have problems. But in most cases, it is best to try to fix the problem rather than starting a wholly new relationship.
The same is true with membership. A member may be dissatisfied or lose touch with the organization. But in almost every case, organizations that I have worked with have found a former member more likely to re-join the organization compared to a totally new prospective member. This is why membership reinstatement is a significant component of the membership lifecycle. All members will someday leave, but many will come back if asked.
So when you look to get former members to come back, here are some things to keep in mind.
1. Learn. There is an old proverb that says, "Look where you tripped and not where you fell." Former members can be your most valuable resource to identify problems and impediments in your membership program. Ask them why they did not continue and drill down beyond the standard answer of it was too expensive. Then use the information to keep more members and win back those who have left.
2. Acknowledge. Address a former member as someone you know had a previous relationship with your organization. One association does a great job of this by instead of asking the former member to "please join" they send out a greeting card that says, "We miss you." The card includes a personalized message to the former member.
3. Keep trying. Perhaps the most important message about reaching out to lapsed members is, do not give up on re-establishing a relationship. Many associations are sitting on a relational and financial goldmine of former members that they have failed to re-engage. They just need to replace the chirping of crickets with an ongoing effort to restore the relationship.There are many marketing tools available for following up with former members. Since an association has a previously established business relationship with lapsed members, it is appropriate to use both email and telemarketing in outreach efforts. Some organizations also use staff and board calls to encourage a member to return. But whatever the mechanism that works best, try contacting your former members and replace silence with a request to return.

Often, a marked technical advance stimulates a period of intellectual progress. It is widely recognized that the printing press was such a development. Whereas, before this invention, only a few books were laboriously produced, and fewer still were available to the public, the printing press opened the doors for sharing information with a much larger audience. There is little doubt that this new procedure for communicating ideas had a major impact on civilization. Other data structures besides book s, such as newspapers, monographs and journals, also emerged to take advantage of the capabilities of the printing press.
In this century, radio and television technology ushered in a yet more diversified medium of communication. In addition to expressing ideas with printed text and illustrations, information could be widely shared in a dynamic form consisting of a se ries of related sounds and images. While the data structure understood as "the book" played (and continues to play) a leading role in the print-on-paper world, a unifying structure, known as "the transmission program," facilitates the origination and transmission of information in the broadcast, cable and satellite communications industries. This unit for organizing and identifying information has generally been regulated under communications and trade laws, but it also has implication s for the application of copyright law in a communications environment. For example, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) makes provision for the protection of "encrypted program-carrying satellite signals."
Like books and transmission programs in the past, what logical entities are most appropriate to facilitate commerce in creative works in a digital environment?
Over the last decade, there has been substantial growth in the use of computer networking capabilities for the creation and dissemination of copyright works. Of particular note is the emergence of the Internet. For definition of Internet see
This phenomenon is not a unique situation in the history of intellectual progress. It has been a distinguishing feature of human potential to challenge existing assumptions, to reconceptualize given knowledge and to generate diverse informational mater ials and artifacts for entertainment, educational, industrial and other purposes. Technology has simply helped to accelerate the process.
The widespread availability of global information systems like the Internet carries with it the potential to generate and share information at a degree of complexity and pervasiveness that was unimaginable until recently. Already, information is be ing posted on the 'Net that would otherwise only be available to a restricted group, if anyone knew of its existence. Unlike transmission programs consisting of sounds or images that are produced solely for communication to the public in sequence and as a unit, digital information is inherently malleable. Information expressed as sequences of binary digits (or bits) may be accessed interactively, data streams from widely distributed sources may be intermingled and new works dynamically generated and proce ssed.
There is a growing perception in the research community, and increasingly by leaders in copyright-dependent industries, that data structures are needed to enable the organization and identification of units of digital information for purposes of ma naging rights and interests in a network environment. Efforts in this direction are well underway. Of particular note is a framework under development that will enable copyright works and other information resources, once configured as "digital objec ts," to be reproduced, stored, accessed and disseminated over computer networks in this new form of data structure. This architecture grew out of a program organized and led by the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI) under the sponso rship of the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and with the active participation of the U.S. Copyright Office of the Library of Congress. Fundamental aspects of this information infrastructure were described in a paper entitled "A Framew ork for Distributed Digital Object Services" by Robert Kahn and Robert Wilensky. It is available on the Internet at
Digital objects (sometimes referred to as packages, containers or, more generally, structured bit sequences) and their supporting technologies have emerged as a focus of experimentation. In this context, a digital object is understood as one or more sequences of bits or sets of such sequences that contain "typed data" (to allow the sequences to be interpreted), and include a unique, persistent identifier for the object known as a "handle" (or, in certain instances, a "DOI"). The digital object is intended to be a generic means of structuring information in the digital world. A digital object may incorporate information in which copyright, patent, trade secret or other rights or interests may be claimed, although this n eed not always be the case. Key infrastructure components of an open architecture that supports digital objects are discussed in a Cross-Industry Working Team (XIWT) white paper entitled "Managing Access to Digital Information: An Approach Based on D igital Objects and Stated Operations" that is available at
Digital objects may be deposited and stored in a network-based computer system or "repository" for possible subsequent access. Repositories may be operated in a variety of ways, spanning the range from individual storage depots to bulleti n boards to broadcast stations on the Internet. From a copyright perspective, it is important to stress that a "handle" identifies a particular logical entity, i.e., a data structure, in which a work or other information has been embodied, but n ot the underlying information itself.
A unique and important attribute of a digital object embodying a copyright work is the capability of the object to incorporate data about itself. This information or metadata may include conditions for accessing the digital object and/or its underl ying content, or an indicator to where such information may be available. The digital object may also enable a negotiation to take place where a user wishes to go beyond any conditions previously set forth in its metadata. This capability is an essential ingredient to enable and encourage the growth of commerce in copyright works in a digital environment.
Several organizations are now building testbeds to implement the digital object framework. These include two at the U.S. Library of Congress and another in the publishing community sponsored by the Association of American Publishers. Information on the publishers' initiative is available at
A key goal in these efforts is to provide an open architecture that allows the identification and management of access to digital information. They seek to make both proprietary and non-proprietary information available in a structured and well-known w ay with open interfaces, protocols and object structures.
A digital object as a structured package of encrypted information may also facilitate the development of flexible and efficient mechanisms for managing rights or interests in a computer network environment. In this context, the keys can be managed and distributed independently from the digital object itself. This capability for managing rights or interests also applies where intelligent agents, structured as digital objects, act on behalf of rightsholders in a network environment to protect works e mbodied in such objects.
What is the copyright status of original works of authorship structured as "digital objects"?
When Congress revised the United States federal copyright statute about 20 years ago, it restated the two fundamental criteria of copyright protection: originality and fixation in tangible form. From the first U.S. copyright statute, which designat ed only "maps, charts and books," the copyright law has grown to include new forms of expression as creative and worthy of protection. The wording of the definition of fixation, however, limits this expansive intent. It specifically provides tha t a work is "fixed" in a tangible medium of expression when it is embodied in an authorized "copy" or "phonorecord." Generally, a copy for these purposes is a material object (other than a phonorecord). This limitation is not just a matter of passing interest in the context of U.S. law. The concept of fixation is important, since it represents the dividing line between the application of the federal copyright statute and any protection that may be available under State common law or statute.
What it means to be a copy also came up at the Diplomatic Conference on Certain Copyright and Neighboring Rights Questions convened by WIPO and held in December 1996. Specifically, the following text appears under the Agreed Statements concerning A rticles 6 and 7 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty adopted by the Diplomatic Conference: ". . .the expressions 'copies' and 'original and copies' being subject to the right of distribution and the right of rental under the said Articles, refer exclusively to fixed copies that can be put into circulation as tangible objects." While the Conference thus clarified the intended meaning of copies, the meaning of original may require further analysis. In the United States, an original may be deemed to apply to the first fixation of a work in a tangible form; however, many countries extend copyright protection to what are sometimes termed original works without a fixation requirement.
This topic is particularly interesting to consider where "original works of authorship" for purposes of U.S. law (or what are sometimes termed "original works of the mind" under other bodies of law) are created wholly within a g lobal information system like the Internet, and where, in this environment, there may be no material fixation (or copy) generated, much less distributed. A novel interpretation of materially fixed might include a capability that supports "fixation on demand"; however, there would still be some inherent ambiguity about the status of such works prior to their fixation.
The development of a digital object infrastructure may enable the expansion of copyright protection to accommodate works that are not first fixed in a tangible medium of expression, or, in the case of material such as live broadcasts, that are not recorded simultaneously with their transmission. Introducing the notion of a structured, logical unit, i.e., a "digital object," may better accommodate the emerging capabilities of digital technology. These include, in particular, the deployment of such dynamic resources as intelligent agents. It may also avoid the use of ambiguous and oxymoronic terms such as intangible copies.
In addition to the existing requirement under U.S. law that an original work of authorship be "fixed in a tangible medium of expression" for federal copyright protection to attach, an alternative criteria may prove very useful in a network environment:
an original work of authorship structured in a persistent, uniquely identifiable medium of expression from which it may be reproduced, perceived, performed or accessed by any device or process for a period of more than transitory duration.
For purposes of this proposed new provision, structured may be defined to include digital objects and other equivalent data structures.
A digital object with its unique persistent identifier thus serves much the same purpose as a material fixation under U.S. law. Moreover, this concept may also prove of assistance in countries that extend protection without the need for a fixation. A capability of persistently and uniquely identifying a data structure in which copyright works, or performances of works, are embodied may encourage the development of a new marketplace for copyright works in a digital environment. Of course, where an o riginal work of authorship structured as a digital object is actually fixed in a tangible medium of expression, copyright protection would subsist in accordance with current U.S. copyright law. My proposal would simply offer an alternative basis for prote ction to attach.
Should the processing and communication of bits be viewed as a distribution and/or a performance?
Questions have been raised about the classification of new creative works like MIDI sequences for purposes of copyright. Are they literary works? Musical works? Computer programs? Sound recordings? Further, what happens when users access a network- based repository of such works on an interactive basis, and the results of such access are disseminated over the Internet? Depending on the nature of the access request, the dissemination may not represent any particular sequence of bits that previously e xisted in that, or indeed, any repository. This situation is also likely to become increasingly prevalent where complex works, such as knowledge-based systems, are made commercially available over the Internet to provide advice and guidance on a wide vari ety of topics.
Many information resources (configured as digital objects or not) that are now accessible to the public over the Internet may look and sound like conventional copyright works. Often, the term multimedia is applied to these capabilities, as if these resources were simple compilations of several traditional works, such as music, photographs, films or text, to be treated as what might generally be called data. It may be appropriate to regard these works as a whole as either computer programs or comput er databases, or some combination thereof. However, a more accurate, comprehensive and flexible terminology to describe this emerging area is needed that reflects the realities of the underlying technology.
Information in digital form (whether of a purely symbolic or numeric character) is a purely conceptual entity; however, it may be represented as a real entity in the form of symbols or numbers fixed in a material object, where it is usually conside red a "literary work" for copyright purposes. In light of the developing capabilities of digital technology, Committee No. 702 of the American Bar Association explored whether it might be helpful to establish a subcategory of literary works capa ble of behavior, to be called "digital works." In its 1996 report, the Committee proposed the following definition for discussion purposes: "'Digital works' are literary works consisting of an ordered set of symbols from a discrete alphabet , such as computer programs or knowledge structures, that are capable of behavior when processed."
Such a provision is particularly important where a patented process may be involved in the performance of a digital work subject to copyright or where there may be patents involved in the methods used for structuring data.
If a consensus can be reached on what it means to be a "digital work," it may lead to a better understanding of what occurs from a copyright, patent and communications law perspective where information represented in some digital format i s mapped into a waveform. Terms such as digital communication or digital transmission may not be adequate to describe the situation fully. It was the Committee's understanding that, strictly speaking, there are only continuous waveforms (or analog signals ) in the real world. A "signal" is meant to be "digital" only in the conceptual sense that it is understood to contain a sequence of discrete symbols or bits.
Any sequence of discrete symbols that corresponds to the expression of certain information may be mapped into one or more continuous waveforms. For purposes of copyright, where this ordered set of symbols is viewed as a "digital work," th e mapping of the information into a waveform by any device or process may be viewed as a performance of the work. There may be other performances of works that take place, not just at the source, but at the point of reception and within the network itself , where intelligent agents may be tasked with performing various operations. Certain of these performances may be deemed exempt from copyright liability.
Networks and network servers can generally be either active or passive entities in any communications system. As passive entities, they typically serve to communicate bits without essential change from a source to one or more destinations. As activ e entities, they have the ability to process the information in arbitrary ways. When the information is encrypted at its source, the processing options along the communications pathways are inherently more limited, but it is still possible to perform a li mited set of functions within the network, such as aggregation, selective filtering and disaggregation. Thus, the extent of copyright liability for any given situation should be based upon the nature of the service being provided. There may be classes of operations performed on digital objects that have only a minimal, if any, impact on any underlying copyright works. While strictly speaking performances, such operations might be deemed to encompass the "distribution" of digital objects embodyin g copyright works. Complex operations would most likely bring into play the copyright right of public performance.
There may be rules and procedures developed for access to digital objects, or repositories of digital objects, that may overlap and impact in practice any copyright and other rights or interests that apply to the underlying information content. In the context of a digital object infrastructure, there has been some discussion of the notion of "access to perform stated operations on a sequence of bits." Whether, and under what circumstances, such operations should be accommodated under comm unications laws, and how protection at the digital object level will interact with any copyright, patent, banking, privacy, trade secret and other rights or interests in an object's contents, is an important area for continued discussion and experimentati on. Where a copyright work is configured as an encrypted digital object, a new set of capabilities is introduced having great potential for the management of rights or interests in a network environment or even for indicating that there are no restriction s placed on access to digital information.
In summary, this paper has introduced the digital object as a logical structure for organizing information expressed as sequences of bits (like the book or the transmission program in other media). It compares the characteristics of digital objects , i.e., unique persistent identifiers, network accessibility and typed data, to the attributes of fixation in a material object and shows them to be generally equivalent. In addition, it introduces a notion of a digital work as a literary work that is cap able of behavior and discusses some of the attributes of encrypted digital objects that may bring into play the copyright rights of distribution, as well as public performance, in a network environment.

This time let's try something different and use a reference for this one, so If you're not good at drawing, don't worry, I insert my sketch on the original file to help you guys. Also I know some of you like some montages I do with the final illustration, so you can grab the mockup tv at the end of the post If you want it. Have fun and don't forget to watch The Simpsons.
Sometime ago I used to think that sketching using skeletons was an idiot thing to do, but come on, I just need time to see that trying to do that without nodes was quite disappointing. You can't have a good idea of direction, perspective and size without it, even If you're drawing cartoons, you got use some models on characters. This book wrote by Matt Groening itself quite explain all the use of models on th echaracters of the series.
After making a rough sketch using a really thin brush, I just make another layer and use a harder brush to make things more clear. This is quite good to do, because it let me really free to comit mistakes and don't erase then, but incorporate it to the main idea.
The Background
Ok, time to open Illustrator, create a simple A4 (29,7 x 21 cm / 11,69 x 8,27 cm) RGB, 300 DPI.
I dropped the original sketch with a good trasnparency to not interfere on the illustration, make a new layer above it (command + L / ctral + L).
I really love GRIDS, you actually don't have to do this, I just did because a matter of organization of the whole layout.
Using the rectangle tool (M), create this rectangle that fits outside the canvas, add a linear grey gradient on it, with two greys on each extremity and a white on the center.
Then go to Effect > Pixelate > Color Halftone.
Zero all the channels and set max radius to 15 pixels.
The Titles
Let's try something really foxy this time, using the pen tool (P) make this light simmetric curve.
If you click on it using the text tool (T), you will see the shape became writable.
I just wrote Abduzeedo wuing Bazar font, grab it here.
Let's make a ribbon, first draw the central shape using the pen tool (P).
Repeat the same procedure to create the extremity. / Repita o mesmo processo para criar a extremidade.
Let's fast forward it, I just added a few hachures and detail using the previous tool, just do the same.
Same old good trick: Copy it, reflect it and place it, I think you guys already know this.
Place the previous title above it, curve everything and use a bold stroke to make contrast.
Added the classic "proudly presents" using Helvetica Bold.
I really like this font: The Black Bureau, you can download it at The Legacy of Defeat, wrote the name of the show using it, then curve everything and place it like the sample.
I really dig that old shadow effects used on some titles, first copy the white words, turn to black, send to back. Copy then again, ungroup both and use the Minus Front option on each letter. Sure, this will tatke sometime to achieve, but it's slick.
Make two new layers (command + L / ctrl + L) and name them "Scratchy" and "Itchy".
Let's use the sketch as reference, first draw the face shape using the pen tool (P).
Use the ellipse tool (L) to create the nose, than adjust using the direct selection tool (A).
Dry the eyeborws using the good and old pen tool (P).
Man, I just love these retro characters eyes, they are way simple, just make a little cut on one side.
Fill the nose with black, let a little shpere on the extremity.
Make the mouth using two simple dashes with the pen tool (P).
Watch for the head/hair shape, this is actually one of the things that makes this character so recognizable, don't forget to turn it black, no strokes.
Draw the whiskers and then just copy, reflect, resize and place then on the other side.
Here's a cool thing about old cartoons: most of them had to deal with only two color and so it was natural to use contrast resources to show shapes. So, in order to show these whiskers, you got to create a white stroke with the pen tool (P), use command + Y/ctrl + Y to make easier to see the outlines.
Make the classic tongue and add a wrickle on the middle.
I also added a lot of minor details using the pen tool (P), jut to make the illustration more handmade.
Let's begin by drawing the black fill parts, draw the torso and then the two legs, you go to make a space between the right leg and the body to give the idea of distance.
Do the tail again using the pen tool (P), watch for the spaces between it an the body, they're necessary.
Draw only the outline of the axe, really piece of cake.
I know this will be a bit boring, but all the folling shapes were created using the pen tool (P). So, take your time and observe what they mean.
Ok, back to the body, using the ellipse tool (L) draw the belly.
Also add these details on this specific parts, I'm actually giving contrast to the shapes in order to make them look sharper.
Of course you probably was missing something on the feet, so add these simple dashes on them to make the fingers.
Also a simple detail on the tail.
I hate drawing hands, I admit. But these ones were pretty easy, just draw a couple of spheres using the ellipse tool (L), adjust then using the pencil tool (N). Use the same tool to draw the rest of the hand.
Remeber this brush: 5 pt. oval brush, my favorite, really easy to use and nice results while drawing characters.
The other hand is way easier due to it's angle, first draw the shape, then draw the details using the pen tool (P) and the ellipse tool (L).
Back to the axe, let's add these "white shades" unsing the pen tool (P) along the axe part.
This arm is piece of cake, taking advantage of the contrast you can basically draw this shape.
The other one just need some white wrinkles to appear, this shall be no great deal.
Last part, you can take a rest after this. So, this is quite simple, we're goin to make a BW gradient and then use the halftone efect used previously. Just make sure to turn the shadow elliptical.
you're going to make basically the same procedure on this character face. First draw the face using the pen tool (P).
Make the ear an the hear, don't make the other ear on the same shape.
Draw it separately , like this.
Command + Y / ctrl + Y to see only the outlines and create a stroke over this hear.
This are exactly the same eyes used in Scratchy. The nose is a simple ellipse created using the ellipse tool (L).
Add a few lines to make the mouth more funky.
Use the brush tool (B) to draw the mouth, then add a black fill inside, use the contrast to make the tongue.
Add a few more shapes to make it more loose.
The teeth are simple round shapes, you can achieve it using either the brush tool (B) or the pen tool (P).
And here's a final wrinckle on the ear.
Itchy wears a little coat, so let's start by drawing it using the brush tool (B).
Make the belly and the body.
Draw the other side of the coat.
Let's be biref with his legs, so draw the first one and just copy and reflect it.
Add the dashes to symbolize the toes.
Use the brush tool (B) to draw his tail.
Add dashes to ehance the contrast between the legs and body.
Make the sleeve using the brush tool (B).
Draw the arm.
Then the hand using the brush tool (B) again.
And simple detail to make the toe.
Use the brush tool (B) to make the other sleeve.
Make a black hole on it and then the arm.
Use the brsuh tool (B) to draw the hand shape.
Of course, you can just skip this part by copying the Scratchy hand.
Yep, copy the same shadow used previously.
The Trap
So first I draw this rope on Itchy's hand, the idea was to make something crossing the canvas.
On the other side, behind Scratchy, using the rectangle tool (M), I started drawing these big hammer.
Made the rope using the brush tool (B)
Added a lot of hachures to give depth on it.
Also a little engine, first I drawed this oval shape, then add a stroke on it and set a 4 pt dashed line.
Some outline, a shadow and a base over it.
This was supposed to be one of that fake arms trap that we used to see on old cartoons.
Added a hinge using only the ellipse tool (L).
Copy the Itchy hand or redraw it all over.
Finally the cog, first create a few circles using the ellipse tool (L).
Add some recangles, copy then and spin it.
Then finally add some 4 point stars using the star tool.
Final Step
Just to give a final retro look to it, let's add a few gradients. Right now you can hide the sketch layer and hide the rulers (command + ; / ctrl + ;).
Make a rectangle over the canvas and add a radial BW gradient on it, go to the transparency panel and choose the option called Multiply.
Make another gradient over the canvas, use a more golden gradient on this one, change he's opacity to 70% and then use Multiply.
As you see, even a simple illustration can be detailed as hell, but I hope you got a better understanding about contrast and know how about creating in BW. That's it guys, don't get frustrated If you didn't achieve the final result, do one part at time and do your best, I see you next time.

Who are you anyway?
I'm Jennette Fulda. For over six years I blogged here using the name PastaQueen, but have since moved on to a new domain name and a new alter ego at JenFul. PastaQueen was a weight-loss blog that chronicled my journey as I lost 200 pounds, a story I eventually expanded on in my book Half-Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir. After that I got bored of just writing about weight loss, so I started telling stories to the Internet on this blog about my life as a smartass, author, chronic headache sufferer, and overall nice person (who is silently judging you). After awhile I decided the name PastaQueen didn't represent who I was or what my blog was about anymore, so now I post at JenFul.
PastaQueen lives on as an archive. Comments have been turned off because spammers are chatty. There's some good stuff to be found here, like the time my mother handed out condoms in front of my office, thoughts about the mysteries of the universe, my never-ending desire to stuff my face with cookies, and the headache I got in February of 2008 that has never gone away. Yeah, that last part kind of sucks, and so do you if you send me advice. (Just a hug will do.)
In addition to Half-Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir, I wrote a second memoir called Chocolate and Vicodin: My Quest for Relief from the Headache that Wouldn't Go Away. I am a full-time freelancer, available for hire to write pretty words or make pretty blogs via my company Make My Blog Pretty. If you want to throw money at me, I will catch it if you contact me. Everything else relevant about me can be found at JennetteFulda.com
Oh, and I occasionally smile angelically in fields of grass for absolutely no reason at all.
Can you give me the run down on this amazing weight loss thing?
I entered this world weighing 8 pounds 5 ounces and came close to leaving it at 372 pounds. After several false starts, I started working my ass off (literally) on January 15, 2005. I blogged about it along the way because typing burns calories. In February of 2007, I officially lost 186 pounds, half my weight, and had a party in my fat pants. During a period of depression caused by my chronic pain, I gained back about 50 pounds.
Didn't I see your pants in the bookstore?
Yes, that's me and my fat pants on the cover of the book I wrote about my weight-loss experience, Half-Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir. It was published by Seal Press in May 2008. Everything related to the book—reviews, media appearances, publicity pics, and more—is covered on my official book site.
Has your blog been mentioned anywhere that makes friends and family proud and enemies jealous?
Why, yes it has! My blog, my book or I have been seen (and sometimes heard) in places like The Today Show on NBC, The Early Show on CBS, Runner's World, Women's Health, The Wall Street Journal, The Associated Press, The Washington Post, Shape, Glamour, The Globe and Mail, and other media. You can catch up on my work at JennetteFulda.com, assuming I have not been too distracted to update the site. Ooh, look! Something shiny!
How can I contact you?
By reading my contact page. And then actually contacting me, of course.
You are such an inspiration. Did you know that?
So I've been told, but I've never set out to be anyone's inspiration. I just set out to be me. I still like to steal cannolis and cake and I'm not ashamed. Also, while I'm over a hundred pounds lighter than I used to be, I'm also over fifty pounds heavier than I was at my thinnest. If that bothers you, I suggest you go somewhere else. I'm not your Weight Watchers leader.
So, about that headache, have you tried-?
Yes. Yes I have.
Has anyone suggested you might have-?
Yes. Yes, they did.
Well, there's no reason to get snippy.
I've had a headache since February 2008. What do you expect?
Why are you called PastaQueen? Are you on some weird pasta-only diet?
Uh, no. My internet handle has always been PastaQueen, but it has nothing to do with the consumption of pasta. In high school I was nicknamed Jennetti Spaghetti. This turned into Jennetti Spaghetti, the Queen of Pasta. When I had to make a free e-mail address to use at a summer camp in 1997, I decided to use PastaQueen and I've been using it ever since. I do still eat pasta, just in moderation.
Anything else?
Sometimes I give noogies to Elvis.

MADISON, Wis. — Driving six hours round trip for a one-day visit to a farmers market might seem foolish, especially when there are plenty of decent ones in the Chicago area.
But the Saturday Dane County Farmers' Market in Madison, Wis., not only was named the top farmers market in the nation by Eating Well magazine in 2007, it has appeared on an array of "best market" lists online — from Saveur to Taste of Home to Peter Greenberg.
Dozens of Yelp reviews back up those judgments, bestowing a five-star rating on the market and its picturesque setting on the square surrounding the state Capitol.
That long car ride actually might be a small price to...

Bay water quality questionable
To the Editor:
Karen Bloom's article in the Aug. 29-Sept. 4 issue of the Herald promoting our local parks was admirable ("Late summer at a park near you").
The story, however, should have contained a caveat regarding Hewlett Point Beach. While the pool there is perfectly safe, the same cannot be said of the bay water. When Sandy blasted through here last October, the Bay Park Sewage Plant was knocked out of commission. Several million gallons of untreated waste exploded from the underground pipes and up from toilets in our village. All that spillage ended up in the waters of Hewlett Bay.
As of today, and likely for many more months, the plant is being run on several portable electric generators. While they keep it running, there are still millions of gallons of partially treated sewage being pumped into Reynolds Channel in Island Park. The proximity of that discharge keeps the water quality of Hewlett Bay and surrounding waters at a level that is at best unpleasant and most probably dangerous.
I realize Bloom's article was not an editorial, but the water quality of the parks you recommend should be considered.

Single Page App Mode: http://www.melonhtml5.com/demo/admin7/single_page_app/login.html
Static HTML Mode: http://www.melonhtml5.com/demo/admin7/static_html_mode/login.html
OVERVIEW:Admin7 is a fully responsive admin template powered by HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript.
Admin7 comes with modern Single Page App mode and traditional Static HTML mode.
Admin7 also gives you full JavaScript APIs for each component and the Main APP itself to allow you to do more interactions with your own code.
Please give it quick rating if you like this. If you have any suggestions/feature request or you find a bug, you are more than welcome to contact me and I'll address them ASAP.
FEATURES:Single Page App
Admin7 is designed as a full Single Page App which gives you faster page load, better and modern user expierence and much more. With its internal rounting script, you could still share a specific page URL as you usually do with static html pages and browser's back and forward button are also fully supported.
Static HTML Mode
Alternatively, you could still write each page as a static HTML page.
Clean, mordern and fully responsive design (tested on all major browsers, tablets and smart phones)
Highly optimized JavaScript code and clean, consistent Markup and CSS give you extremly fast and resonsive UI. Each module is optimized individually and as a whole so that when multiple modules are used on the same page, they talk to each other and optimize for each other.
Consistency & Customization
With OOCSS principles used in design, Admin7 provides a very consitent and re-usable UI. It also makes it a lot easier to do your own customizations. (e.g. chaning the yellow background for tab, widget, button…etc, you will only need to update one place in CSS)
Multiple Skin and Colour Themes
The CSS system is designed to have skin (layout) and colour scheme separate, which lets you easily create your own skin or colour without breaking the other. 9 theme colours are included by default.

Graphic-Studio necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 69 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
Okay so I've pulled together some LOGO examples from online that I like, Not necessarily something I'd suggest you copy from...but for a little inspiration, here's the jpg link: http://photoshop-tricks.com/logos-f
Also feel free to shorten the name if you feel you need to:
PSDTricks.com, PSDTricks, or PST.
I'm still trying to finalize the new site for 2010 @ http://www.photoshop-tricks.com/v2/
I'm looking for something that says PHOTOSHOP PROFESSIONALS SPACE.
There's also the older site at http://www.photoshop-tricks.com/V1/
I'll be here most days to answer questions and give feedback.
I'm running this BLIND because I don't want people using the best idea for their own, and to keep the designs level on the playing field.
16-45 year old viewers who are looking for new photoshop tricks and tips. I'm going to be eventually be launching a Members area where I'll dole out files, templates, styles and etc., monthly — so cool, professional, graphical, sparkle, shine, gold or chrome......
I want to be the next "http://www.abduzeedo.com" with a logo to show it! But i don't want to copy abduzeedo.com
DESIGN FOR 960 x 160 to 960 x 300 pixels or so. The site is up and has been, I'm still working on version2 @ http://www.photoshop-tricks.com/v2/
I plan to loose the Banner ad, but might keep it, so something that would also look nice if Ad revenue comes in and I want to reduce it to the current size (see the site).
I'm not attaching any files or ideas because this is strictly a Creative logo Design contest — Creativity and something that smacks of "I could find what I want at this site!" when viewers see the logo.
I want to resize if needed to current size of 489 x 130 - BUT if the Design knocks my socks off . . . . I may just go with a BIG Header (960x300) for this WordPress site I'm in the middle of finalizing.
If possible I'd like a written statement about the winning designers' thinking/method and will post a link and thank you on the about page.
