I LOVE old movies. They are my absolute fave. How you feel about MM is how I feel about Vivien Leigh (my daughter's name is even Vivien) I actually just watched "my week with Marilyn" on Saturday!
I love MM though, and wish I could go to Hollywood for this! Thanks for letting me "view" it through you!

So glad you enjoyed the exhibit! This is my 4th exhibition at the Hollywood Museum, and I just love being able to share my collection with other fans of Marilyn. Other items from my collection are currently on exhibit at another exhibition that's taking place in Florence, Italy, and that exhibition is sponsored by Ferragamo.

Lovely entry, and it appears the people at The Hollywood Museum did a splendid job in capturing the many facets of Monroe.
I should mention that I am aiding in plans for a future exhibit at the museum, this one dedicated to my all-time favorite actress, Carole Lombard. Items are still being sought, particularly movie posters. You can learn more by visiting http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/527017.html - July 12, 2012 at 6:22 AM

Detection of short interruptions for medium voltage cables
Short interruptions of the inner semiconductor (strand shield) at the production of medium voltage cables is a phenomenon, which specifically at very thin insulation layers occurs occasionally and is not safely detected at a discharge test. Discovered are such faults unfortunately quite often only by the end-users with all unpleasant consequences.
With the STRANDSHIELD 2000 SIKORA presents a system, which detects and reports any short interruptions of the semi conductor already during the production process of the cable. The distribution of such defective cable can be stopped in-time, before the supply to the end-user.
The measuring system will be installed in the cooling trough after the CV-line, and is designed for cables in a diameter from 10 to 60 mm. Detected are shortest interruptions with a length of only 10 mm at a line speed of up to 600 m/min.
The STRAND SHIELD 2000 is an indispensable tool for an active quality control, whereby this system pays back its investment quite often already by detecting one of these faults.
Diameter measuring range | 1 to 60 mm (40 mil to 2.4") |

Time management is one of those skills no one teaches you in school but you have to learn. It doesn't matter how smart you are if you can't organize information well enough to take it in. And it doesn't matter how skilled you are if procrastination keeps you from getting your work done.
Younger workers understand this, and time management is becoming a topic of hipsters. One of the most popular blogs in the world is Lifehacker, edited by productivity guru Gina Trapani, and her forthcoming book by the same name is a bestseller on Amazon based so far on pre-orders.
In today's workplace, you can differentiate yourself by your ability to handle information and manage your time. "Careers are made or broken by the soft skills that make you able to hand a very large workload," says Merlin Mann, editor of the productivity blog 43 Folders.
So here are 10 tips to make you better at managing your work:
1. Don't leave email sitting in your in box.
"The ability to quickly process and synthesize information and turn it into actions is one of the most emergent skills of the professional world today," says Mann. Organize email in file folders. If the message needs more thought, move it to your to-do list. If it's for reference, print it out. If it's a meeting, move it to your calendar.
"One thing young people are really good at is only touching things once. You don't see young people scrolling up and down their email pretending to work," says Mann. Take action on an email as soon as you read it.
2. Admit multitasking is bad.
For people who didn't grow up watching TV, typing out instant messages and doing homework all at the same time, multitasking is deadly. But it decreases everyone's productivity, no matter who they are. "A 20-year-old is less likely to feel overwhelmed by demands to multitask, but young people still have a loss of productivity from multitasking," says Trapani.
So try to limit it. Kathy Sierra at Creating Passionate Users suggests practicing mindfulness as a way to break the multitasking habit.
3. Do the most important thing first.
Trapani calls this "running a morning dash". When she sits down to work in the morning, before she checks any email, she spends an hour on the most important thing on her to-do list. This is a great idea because even if you can't get the whole thing done in an hour, you'll be much more likely to go back to it once you've gotten it started. She points out that this dash works best if you organize the night before so when you sit down to work you already know what your most important task of the day is.
4. Check your email on a schedule.
"It's not effective to read and answer every email as it arrives. Just because someone can contact you immediately does not mean that you have to respond to them immediately," says Dan Markovitz, president of the productivity consulting firm TimeBack Management, "People want a predictable response, not an immediate response." So as long as people know how long to expect an answer to take, and they know how to reach you in an emergency, you can answer most types of email just a few times a day.
5. Keep web site addresses organized.
Use book marking services like del.icio.us to keep track of web sites. Instead of having random notes about places you want to check out, places you want to keep as a reference, etc., you can save them all in one place, and you can search and share your list easily.
6. Know when you work best.
Industrial designer Jeff Beene does consulting work, so he can do it any time of day. But, he says, "I try to schedule things so that I work in the morning, when I am the most productive." Each person has a best time. You can discover yours by monitoring your productivity over a period of time. Then you need to manage your schedule to keep your best time free for your most important work.
7. Think about keystrokes.
If you're on a computer all day, keystrokes matter because efficiency matters. "On any given day, an information worker will do a dozen Google searchers," says Trapani. "How many keystrokes does it take? Can you reduce it to three? You might save 10 seconds, but over time, that builds up."
8. Make it easy to get started.
We don't have problems finishing projects, we have problems starting them," says Mann. He recommends you "make a shallow on-ramp." Beene knows the key creating this on ramp: "I try to break own my projects into chunks, so I am not overwhelmed by them."
9. Organize your to-do list every day.
If you don't know what you should be doing, how can you manage your time to do it? Some people like writing this list out by hand because it shows commitment to each item if you are willing to rewrite it each day until it gets done. Other people like software that can slice and dice their to-do list into manageable, relevant chunks. For example, Beene uses tasktoy because when he goes to a client site tasktoy shows him only his to do items for that client, and not all his other projects. (Get tasktoy here.)
10. Dare to be slow.
Remember that a good time manager actually responds to some things more slowly than a bad time manager would. For example, someone who is doing the highest priority task is probably not answering incoming email while they're doing it. As Markovitz writes: "Obviously there are more important tasks than processing email. Intuitively, we all know this. What we need to do now is recognize that processing one's work (evaluating what's come in and how to handle it) and planning one's work are also mission-critical tasks."

Dreaming Big
To get a step ahead of its competition, La Quinta Inns & Suites looked into the future and saw the solution in crisp, clear high-definition. In March, the company announced that it would make a $40 million-plus investment to install more than 50,000 Samsung flat-screen HD TVs in 383 of its corporate-owned properties. Now that the first phase of the project is finished, all remaining hotels across the chain are targeted for completion by December 2012.
While many hotels are deploying newer flat-screen televisions in guestrooms, significantly fewer have made the additional investment in infrastructure required to deliver HD programming, says Vivek Shaiva, La Quinta's chief information officer. "Even many high-end luxury resorts have followed the same old approach—upgrade the televisions but continue to deliver poor quality, standard definition programming," he says.
La Quinta's solution offers 37 channels, of which 30 are in HD, including three premium movie channels. Content is provided via a set-top box, which allows the brand to offer features like an interactive program guide, mood themes, and plug-and-play capabilities. The entire solution is centrally managed and controlled, allowing La Quinta to deliver a consistent branding experience and marketing message across the chain and more easily deploy upgrades and new features remotely.
Now that guests more frequently carry their own content, whether on laptops, tablets, smartphones, or in the cloud, Shaiva says they often want a device that will enable them to enjoy a larger format viewing experience while traveling. Guests are less dependent on content that hotels can deliver, he says, which has led to the gradual demise of pay-per-view in hotels. "We have retired that model and replaced it with a solution that instead of preventing guests from plugging their own devices to the TVs in hotels encourages them to do so," he says.
La Quinta requires all TVs to have easily accessible side ports for HDMI and composite ports.
"We absolutely believe that having set-top boxes will enable us to be even more innovative," Shaiva says, "as we can deploy new solutions without the need to replace the TVs."

UPDATE: Collingdale mom arraigned on murder charges in infant's heroin intoxication death (with Video)
COLLINGDALE — Even the county's top cop was "shocked" to learn that an 11-month-old borough boy's death in July was the result of heroin intoxication.
Delaware County District Attorney Jack Whelan said at a press conference this morning that he expected the medical examiner to reveal Niccolo Varner had drowned or suffocated, especially after investigators determined his mother had put him and an older sibling in a bathtub and then left them "to meet up with a friend and do a bag of heroin."
Announcing third-degree murder and related offenses against Christine Rivero in her son's death, Whelan said, "This child had died long before he got to the hospital" on the morning of July 15, when police and paramedics were summoned to the family home on Lincoln Avenue.
Rivero, who is being held at the county prison without bail, told authorities early on in the investigation that she never left the boys unattended in the bathtub at about 11 p.m. on July 14.
"That was not true," Whelan said.
Court document indicate Rivera later recanted, stating she did leave the boys alone for about 4 minutes.
According to the Delaware County Medical Examiner's report, the 19-pound, 28-inch long boy "ingested" the heroin the night of July 14.
The probable-cause affidavit states Rivero instructed her 5-year-old son to watch his younger brother while they were in the tub. She then "went to the rear of the yard, to the garage area, and (snorted) heroin."
While she was outside, 5-year-old Luciano came and got her, saying that Niccolo had fallen in the tub and struck his head," the probable-cause affidavit states. Continued...
Rivero reportedly removed Niccolo from the tub, dried him and after putting him in a playpen, put him in a walker for 45 minutes, and then put him in bed. The affidavit states Rivero wanted to keep the child awake in case he suffered a concussion in the bathtub fall.
On the morning of July 15, Rivero reportedly found Niccolo unresponsive in his playpen.
"She screamed, waking her fiancé," the affidavit states. It was then police were called.
Though the boy's father and another adult were in the home at the time, Whelan said, Rivero "had control and custody" of Niccolo Varner at the time of his fatal injury.
Investigators do not know how the child obtained the heroin, and exactly how much of the drug he ingested is pending a full report from the medical examiner, Whelan said.
Breastfeeding has been ruled out as a potential the means of ingestion.
During his press conference Friday morning, Whelan was flanked by Collingdale Police Chief Robert Adams, Criminal Investigation Chief Joseph Ryan, and Collingdale Detective Daniel Leicht.
The mother of an 11-month-old toddler was arraigned on murder charges this morning after being charged in the death of her son, who died of "acute heroin intoxication."
Christine Rivero, 29, of the 200 block of Lincoln Avenue, was arraigned on murder and other charges in the death of her son, Niccolo Varner. Continued...
Rivero was remanded to Delaware County Prison without bail after being arraigned in Collingdale District Court.
Christine Rivero is charged with third-degreee murder, criminal homicide, involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault and engandering the welfare of children.
When asked if she had any comment, Rivero politely whispered, "No, ma'am."
UPDATE: Police in Collingdale will hold a morning press conference to discuss the case of the death of an 11-month-old toddler due to "acute heroin intoxication."
A press conference will be held at 10 .m. at the Collingdale Police Station concerning the death of 11-month-old Niccolo Varner. Police are expected to file charges against the tot's mother.
Christine Rivero, 29, of the 200 block of Lincoln Avenue in Collingdale will be charged with: third degreee murder, criminal homicide, involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault and engandering the welfare of children.
COLLINGDALE — The mother of an 11-month-old borough boy who died in July after ingesting heroin will be charged Friday in connection with his murder, authorities said late Thursday.
Christine Rivero, of the 200 block of Lincoln Avenue, was detained overnight at Collingdale police headquarters, following an exhaustive interview with borough and county detectives throughout much of the day Thursday, Police Chief Robert Adams confirmed at press time. Continued...
Details regarding charges were not immediately available.
Detectives stepped up a homicide investigation since receiving word Tuesday from the Delaware County Medical Examiner's office that Niccolo Varner had died of "acute heroin intoxication."
Niccolo Varner was pronounced dead July 15 at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital.
A full autopsy was conducted by Delaware County Medical Examiner Dr. Fredric N. Hellman on July 17; both cause and manner of death were "pending further studies" at that time, according to a document released by the medical examiner's office.
On Wednesday, Adams said he received word Tuesday from the Delaware County Medical Examiner's Office that the death was ruled a homicide, the first for Collingdale and the 23rd for Delaware County this year.
The latest "Official Findings" document involving the baby's death was made public Wednesday night by the M.E.'s office.
According to the document, the boy measured about 28 inches long and weighed 19 pounds.
Early in the investigation, authorities described the boy's death as suspicious.
Niccolo Varner was pronounced dead in the emergency room at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital at 8:40 a.m. — 16 minutes after his mother reported to authorities that he was in respiratory distress.
According to the initial press release issued by Adams, police and emergency rescuers were dispatched to a Lincoln Avenue residence at 8:24 a.m. Sunday, July 15. When Officers Michael Callahan and Brian Neidelman arrived, they saw Collingdale medics exiting the back door of the residence carrying a child and performing CPR.
Adams stated that it was "due to the circumstances surrounding the time leading up to the child being found" that he requested the assistance of Delaware County Criminal Investigation Division detectives.
The release also indicated that the child's mother, identified as Christine Rivero, was being detained for investigation of alleged possession of drug paraphernalia, as well as questioning about her son. No charges were filed against Rivero at that time.
Prior to the emergency call, authorities said the boy was home with his parents, a sibling and an adult house guest.
Attorney Sam S. Auslander is representing the boy's father, Victor Varner, in a custody matter involving another son, 5-year-old Luciano Varner.
According to Auslander, Varner was granted sole "physical custody" of Luciano on Aug. 24 after a series of petitions and court hearings addressing Luciano's removal from the family home by Children and Youth Services of Delaware County, immediately following his younger sibling's death.
"He stepped up and is doing the right thing," Auslander said Thursday afternoon of Victor Varner. "He's taken over parental responsibility of his son. His chief goal is the safety and welfare of his son ... His son is doing extremely well under his father's care."
Before the court permitted Luciano's return home to his father, the boy was in foster care. During that time, father and son were allowed supervised visits. Current legal custody of Luciano Varner remains with CYS.
Regarding the overall situation, Auslander said, "It's an awful circumstance."
The investigation is being conducted by Collingdale and Delaware County Criminal Investigation Division detectives.

1. | protest the hero | ||
Being called emo only by those who have limited or no knowledge about modern musical genres, Protest the Hero is an incredible metal band, however, not in the traditional sense as defined by most metal head fans of bands such as Dragonforce. Nobody is required to enjoy Protest the Hero, but a little respect is the least one could offer to one of the most musically talented groups to come out of Ontario in as long as I can remember. Dragonforce fan: "Isn't Protest the Hero emo?"
Hunter: "Well they must be if they're selling black sweatshirts - right moron?" |
2. | protest the hero | ||
An aspiring metal band out of Ontario that embodies anything intensity could be construed to be. The range of the vocalist is impressive and amazingly flawless performed live, the drummer couldn't possibly make better use of his double bass pedal, and the guitarists pull off intricuit and beautiful parts. There's nothing more demanding than their sound, and they have the off stage personalities to pull it off. They're all around talented kids with an amazing work ethic and over powering stage presence. Not to mention great lyrics.
People who call this music emo probably can't even begin to comprehend the lyrics. Kids who so pretentiously consider themselves music connoisseurs would only be able to appreciate music like this if they had an eclectic taste. None the less, this band and every band deserves respect no matter what your opinion of their sound is. "Protest The Hero sucked at the vagrant stage! What are those emos donig on warped tour?!"
"High voices don't mean emo, low voices mean average. Talk to me when you can hit those notes, pull off those riffs, and get stage presence and a record label to back you up." |
3. | Protest the Hero | ||
Protest the Hero is a thrash metal/metalcore/post-harcore/punk band from Whitby, Ontario, Canada. They are made up of Rody Walker(vocals), Arif Mirabdolbaghi(bass, vocals), Luke Hoskin(lead guitar, vocals), Tim Millar(rhythm guitar, vocals) and Moe Carlson(drums). They are a very talented band, judging from the material in their latest release, Kezia. They are not very emo, although it does sound like it sometimes in their music. Random Poser: This band sucks. It's just a bunch of screaming and junk. Panic! At the Disco and Fall Out Boy are way better.
Me: Poser... Protest the Hero is better than all the bands you listen to. Any GOOD, TALENTED MUSICIAN will tell you that. |
4. | Protest the Hero | ||
An incredibly talented band from Whitby, Ontario, Canada.
And good fucking god, they are in no way emo. Modern emo is bland, unoriginal, whiny, commercialized shit. These guys deserve some fucking respect. They are all incredibly talented at what they do. The guitarists can tap/shred at a very high level of playing standards, as well as being able to come up with some very catchy riffs. The rhythm section comes up with some very intricate, unique ways to back up the songs, and the bassist can do more on his bass than most 'emo' guitarists can play on guitar. He also writes some very good lyrics. The vocalist has a great range of singing and screaming as well as a great stage presence. So to summarize: Kick ass band, nothing to do with emo They don't even deserve a metalcore label because metalcore is again bland and uncreative. These guys play progressive/math metal. Check out Fortress, the latest album from Protest the Hero. It is worth every pennie.
5. | Protest the Hero | ||
Protest the Hero, sometimes known as PTH, or simply Protest, is a thrash metal/metalcore/post-hardcore/punk (NOT EMO) band from Whitby, Ontario. Their members are Rody Walker (vocals), Arif Mirabdolbaghi (bass, vocals), Luke Hoskin (lead guitar, vocals), Tim Millar (rhythm guitar, vocals) and Moe Carlson (drums). They are a very talented band, and should not be criticized even if people don't like them, they deserve respect. I've heard them being compared to DragonForce, which is ridiculous. DragonForce's guitarists can't even play their own songs live, while Protest the Hero's can, not to mention the band having great stage presence. You don't have to like PTH, but they deserve some respect. Me: Dude, Protest the Hero is one of the best bands ever!
Musically Retarded Person: Hell no! DragonForce is better! Me: Right. DragonForce can't even play their own songs live. Protest the Hero is better than that shit. |
6. | protest the hero | ||
A name synonymous with the word "shit". This group is a cluster of lower-functioning humans known in latin as "emos" (roughly translated, it means "crapbags"). These single brain-celled organisms originated in the basement of a middle class home and sprouted guitars after a period of misplaced belief in their own ability. Th result is utter tragedy, particularly for the music industry. There is more to protest about this 'band' than their wannabe-toughguy name. If they died painful, slow deaths, the world would somehow be a lot better. Emo: Heyy niggs, you check out the new Protest the Hero cd?
Rational Human: No. If I wanted to hear shit I'd tape record myself taking a dump. Emo: Hey I think that's the third track on their album... Rational Human: Please die. |
7. | protest the hero | ||
A horrible emo band who have weak riffs, whiny vocals and overall just ruined a perfectly good show. How these dicks got to tour with legends like DRAGONFORCE, I'll never know... Those fucking emos Protest The Hero ruined the Metal show last night! Me and the other metalheads had to leave the building until their set was over!

Councilman Rice: Number of Police Officers in Schools to Increase
Wednesday's community action forum on school safety draws crowd.
Dozens of concerned parents packed the Montgomery County Public Schools headquarters in Rockville Wednesday night to hear police, County Council members and school officials pledge efforts to make schools safer, including increasing police presence.
County Councilman Craig Rice (D-Dist. 2) of Germantown, a vocal advocate of school resource officers stationed in schools, told the meeting, "We are going to double the number of school resource officers from 6 to 12."
The school resource officer, or SRO, program historically has stationed police officers in schools as an added safety boost. In recent years budget cuts have limited the SRO program to one officer per police district, in addition to one Gaithersburg City SRO. Now county leadership's priorities may be aligned to give the program a boost.
"We do need to increase the number of SROs here and around the country," said Police Chief Tom Manger in Wednesday's opening remarks. "I will tell you there was a time a few years ago when we had an SRO in everyone of our high schools. It takes a special person to be effective working with students every day. These men would put themselves between a bad guy and your child and would do it in a heartbeat and I'm very proud of them."
According to Manger, Montgomery County Public School Superintendent Joshua Starr and Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett (D) have recently voiced support for the program.
Talk of expanding the SRO program came with applause from community residents attending the meeting, but not everyone felt that armed police officers in schools were the answer to public school safety concerns.
"I think SROs play an important role in supporting high schools in particular, but it's a short-term response," said Takoma Park resident Ina Schonberg. "It brought up the broader issues of too many guns in society and not enough attention and support to youth with mental issues or other challenges."
Since the December shooting that killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, national conversation has focused on gun control. A website called StopTheShootings.org counts 387 school shootings, fatal and nonfatal, since 1992. The National School Safety Center partially contributed to the database of shootings. President Obama yesterday unveiled a sweeping gun control proposal as well as a 23 gun control executive actions.
Schonberg, who said she grew up in Newtown, CT, and attended Sandy Hook Elementary as a child, spoke against having any guns in schools, even in the holster of a police officer.
"The National PTA position on whether there should be guns in schools is 'No.' – I personally agree with that," she told the discussion panel Wednesday night.
In addition to SROs, parents brought up concerns including bullying, emergency response training for teachers, students and staff, and physical security barriers for schools, including fences around portables, locked doors and metal detectors. According to officials on the panel, school security needs to be an ongoing discussion, and Wednesday's meeting was the start.
Visit the Montgomery County Public Schools website here to see what security measures the county already has in place.
"Security is a balance," said Richard Hellmuth, director of school safety and security at MCPS. "We don't want to turn our schools into a fortress. At a [PTA] meeting recently, half the parents wanted the school completely locked down, the other half didn't. We have to talk about what does fit this community, what does fit MCPS."
The County Council and the school board have recently begun efforts to accelerate school security upgrades after parents began raising concerns about the security of several elementary schools across the county.
Family members of students at Bradley Hills Elementary in Bethesda have written to county leaders asking for security improvements at the elementary school's temporary location. Parents at Potomac Elementary School have also expressed concern at what they see as a lack of safety coverage for the school's portable classroom buildings.
The county school board voted last week to speed up spending to increase security at Montgomery County elementary schools, unanimously voting to request an additional $364,000 to place video intercom systems at the entrance of every county elementary school. If the Montgomery County Council approves the request, all 132 elementary campuses could receive the upgrade by July, the Washington Examiner reported.
This action has accelerated a six-year plan to boost school security Hellmuth said the county already had in place. Revisiting security measures at the county's portables is next on the county's list, but it's a unique situation that would require individual school solutions.
"We have finite resources, we're never going to have unlimited resources," said Luther Reynolds, 5th District commander for Montgomery County Police in Germantown. "Rather than talk about how do we respond to the [big event], I think we need to be focused on day-to-day activities."
How would new security measures best be implemented in Montgomery County Public Schools? For talking points from Wednesday's meeting and to add to the discussion, click here.

MOCO should significantly raise the taxes on guns and ammunition. There's no reason that all citizens should pay the cost of the enhanced security.

Hey Epstein wake up again you left wing people want the gun owners to pay for your problem. This is not a gun problem it is a security protection problem. I commended the Reps, Police Chief & council for their actions. Even a county police car in front of every school would be a start. Even if it did not come with an officer just the sight of a police vehicle would put doubt in the mind of some nut job. Why not have officers in area of schools patrol schools as pare of beat to include get out of car and walk halls. Would this be so hard to do to protect our schools. We must act now before it happens to us. Thank you.

I agree that the presence of police cars in front of schools would be a good (and less expensive) deterrant. However, I do think that if guns and ammo were not so accessible, mentally ill people would probably be committing fewer mass murders. So, raise the taxes to pay for the cop cars and require clearance of all gun and ammunition purchases to screen out known mentally ill and criminal elements.

I would happily pay the tax if there was some expectation of effectiveness. But these new security systems and (the bizarrely named) school resource officers are all symbolism. None of it will stop the crazy shooters. (You expect a gunman to ring the school's doorbell and explain the true reason he is there?)
11:01 am on Saturday, January 19, 2013
There are 200+ public school in Montgomery County. How exactly is doubling the SROs from 6 to 12 going to make much difference?

ah ye good idea. ill move that yaw. its is painter. impasto and oil& oily blender I think.
Warning, I draw babiez
Some jerk and jolt to the wreath, or a few leaves and stuff falling from it could help too?
ugh. had to rush this a little; so not perfectly happy with the leafs and such. still, pretty decent card :p gotto get it printed tomorrow!
Warning, I draw babiez
*crunch crunch yummy* - onomatopeia saved you ^^
turns out good enough for a fast job
a blueish shadow on the ground maybe if there's still time?
onomatopoeia ^^ gotto remember that one!
there's just time, thanks!
Warning, I draw babiez
os.. more arms.
I know. I know. I'm skimming over everything else and keep returning to arms. think I've almost got it thoug. well.. got something. not sure what :p
Warning, I draw babiez
one more ^^
Warning, I draw babiez
Looks greaeaeat! If you spent some more time on the hatching, it would be perfect!
Nice studies you got going here. On the reindeer-piece I'd really recommend you to choose some colours that go a little better together. Right now they're all kinda crashing. Also, I'd make the black smudging in the background a different colour. Right now it looks a bit like filthy snow, and that's no idealistic picture of christmas, is it?
Keep it up, it's great that you're committed!
what? wow. hey, watta you know. I AM hatching ^^ that's a frist time ever!
@Iambanana: ye thanks ^^ and thanks for stopping by! 'bout the card, your pretty right about the colors. and the snow. ah. but I had to mail it yesterday. so cant really fix it anymore. colors came out a bit softer on the printer though.
and, well our story-board's finally off to a flying start. SO! storyboard time ^^. its the same piece from last time, with a lot of fixes and improvements.

Wha'? first time hatching? don't buy it
Storyboard: camera motion's great, glad you detailed it.
Who's the winged guy? What's his motion in air? He makes an interesting contrapunto - well, visual counterpoint - to the ground team.
The design of the Benders' guns is a bit square, but maybe this is intentional, to show their square mindset?
Who's talking in the last panel? I really need more textual explanations. EDIT: OK, fixed, thanks!
Interesting color choices for the Bender, and a funny colonial look.
Is the rendering for the concept art or a research for the final animation rendering?
Last edited by Leo Ki; December 30th, 2008 at 01:03 PM.
well, first time I hatch without being specifically told to
winged guy is just another druid. they can do all sorts of things. that should be clear pretty soon. the square gun was intentional. though more bc I suck at guns and square ones are the only ones that look ok to me.
I changed the last panel to a speach bubble. is that what you meant with more textual explanations?
I'm just playing with colors and shadows right now. lets say the bender soldier is a concept art try.
well, past the biggest obsticle I had -which was how to get outside. got a lot of fight shots which just need to be put in the right order and completed. so here's another storyboard page ^^
Warning, I draw babiez
awesome stuff!
Hit up some more anatomy for the characters
Looking good so far though!
keep at it!
thanks lilnebo
here is all I did today :p an arm and my cat, simba.
Warning, I draw babiez
some doodling from last night.
Warning, I draw babiez
ink of an older sketch; red at play
Warning, I draw babiez
The last storyboard batch leaves a lot to imagination between the panels, which makes critique a little difficult.
If you were showing the panels on a table, would you explain extra things by words and gestures? If so, that's what I'd like to see written together with the panels.
On the other hand I lack experience with storyboards, and maybe what should be evident isn't so to me.
On the third hand, fight scenes are confused by nature, and get clearer when finally animated
Anyway great gesturing as always, including in your non-storyboard sketches.
hi there Leo!
first of all, happy new year!
well, actually I thought I'd cleared the fighting scenes more then I usually do..
the last frame shows the start and end of the shot. and with the druid taking off, the camera's just about still on the figures in the background (not there yet I know), and the skater druid flying past the screen. I dunno if the other panels need any explaniation. I really didnt think they did, but then I do that quite often; once a thing is in my head it always makes sense to me but that doesnt mean every1 else gets it. I'll have another pass at them to see if I can clear anything up.
here's 1 study for the new year.
Warning, I draw babiez
I like your musculature studies, the three dimensionalitly you're achieving is really good, are these from observation or just informed knowledge of the anatomy?
hey smashed pumpking! heh. no I wish.
hell, if I could draw that from the heart I'd probably start writing letters to bigass companies like Blizzard or WOTC with captions like "I've decided I'll let you hire me"...
no, stuff like the last is just pretty much 1-1 copied from brigman.
drawings like post no 98 are from picture observation. and when I draw from the heart it turns out like #107.
here's one more from brigman
Warning, I draw babiez
Actually the storyboard is rather clear, it's prolly just me adding stuff in my mind because I'm growing very frustated of not seeing the finished animation I imagine you jumping around sweeping the air when explaining the scenes and camera paths.
Regarding 3D from imagination, it's really just a matter of taking some time to do it. You already have a very good sense of the body frame in motion, just spend a bit more time with the volumes, tweak shadows, shape it like clay.
Happy new year! I hope to see at least one minute of animation rough this year ^^
Great job on the arm studies, I'm studying them at the moment as well. It's also recommended to analyse the strips of muscles and how they function.
Hmm, I have just done some searching and had my eyes opened to the world of Bridgeman's work, for this I thank you, haha!. Nice additions, I wish I could get the torso's I draw to look like the one you just added!
@ Leo: ye 1 min of animation would be a good idea. and a little tweaking too ^^
@white: I think you mean where the one muscle attaches and what it does? true. but I already spend some time one that. just wasent happy with the results.
@pumpking: glad I could be of service ^^. I pretty much do a copy but try to make the shapes as clear as possible for myself. that's the only change
errmm as for these 2. a little try from the heart at the left here, and 2 from posemaniacs.
second's from a different anathomy book, but I didnt like it 'cause all the shapes turned out ruond in that one. so I changed m a little.
Warning, I draw babiez
i like your sketches. perhaps do more life studies of people? because feel that you could work on the poses to get them more natural. give them attitude!
thanks for dropping by my sb
hi eparts; ye they're a little stiff lately. that's what you get for focussing on structure I guess. I'm just gonna continue with this until I got all the bodyparts though- and come back and do more natural poses afterwards.
herer's another one straight from bridgman. bottom one is maybe a little squashed. I ran outta paper :p

Bird's - Inhabitants of Ka'ūpūlehu
A goal of our Natural Resource Department is to mālama the land ('āina) and the ocean and share what we are doing with other resorts and communities. Over the years an inventory of shorebirds and waterbirds has been conducted of species that visit and inhabit the pond areas. Endangered species that have flown to Waiakauhi and Pūnāwai and have become resident birds include the 'alae, ke'oke'o, koloa maoli, ae'o, 'auku'u and from Kona Village the nēnē. During the fall and winter migration period migratory ducks and shorebirds visit the resort which includes koloa mapu, koloa moha, lesser scaup, 'akekeke hunakai, kioea, kōlea, and the 'ūlili. The resort continues to protect and encourage a healthy native bird population. Since the restoration of Waiakauhi fishpond at Hualalai Resort, over 45 ae'o Hawaiian Stilts have fledged to adulthood, and will continue to provide critical habitat for this endangered species to grow.

Abilene Food Bank, U.S. Postal Service Stamp Out Hunger
By: Victor Sotelo and Stetson Samuel
Updated: May 11, 2012
Many residents received brown bags to help feed families in need.
The food bank wants residents to put non-perishable food items in a brown bag and leave it for your mail carrier to pick up and deliver to the food bank.
The stamp out hunger food drive collects more than 70 million pounds of food each year.
This is the first year Abilene's Food Bank has sent out paper bags for the drive. They hope it will increase donations.

On Monday night, again against Sewanee, the Bobcats repeated the first half from two weeks ago falling behind early leading to an eight-point deficit at the break, 32-24.
Three-pointers from freshman Tavish Reynolds and Hunter Ivester helped get the lead down to a one-point margin, however the Tigers pulled away for a 62-55 win.
Reynolds went 5-for-6 on 3-pointers leading the Bobcats in scoring with 15 on the night. Ivester, Bud Todd and Miller each scored 10 points.
The Bobcats and Lady Cats are both in action tonight at The R.A.C. for Georgia Northwestern's annual Toy Drive games. The Lady Cats begin play at 6 p.m., followed by the Bobcats.

"A few ordinary, on-hand ingredients make this moist and tender chicken something really extraordinary! The flavor added by the rich, buttery sauce with a splash of lime juice is unmatched. It's been a hands-down winner at our house for 20 some years," says Denise Segura of Draper, Utah.

I have made this recipe several times. My Grandma, who is a real critic when it comes to food, really enjoys this dish whenever I prepare it for her.

This is very delicious, quick and easy. I made it with chicken tenders, and used olive oil to cook the chicken. When making the lime butter, I used only a couple tablespoons of butter. I think 1 Tblsp. might even be enough. I didn't notice how small the amount of chives was and had already cut a handful of chives from my garden, so used them all. It didn't seem to hurt the recipe any to greatly increase the chives!

What a great flavor! I use hawaiian sea salt and Costco's pepper to season the chicken and the kids eat it that way, and then my husband and I use the lime butter on top after slicing our chicken to let it soak in. I've made this twice in the past month and it's so good and so easy! I drain the pan after cooking the chicken before making the sauce.

Good recipe, but I would recomend cutting the amount of butter to a couple tablespoons. Otherwise it is swimming in butter.

I recently traveled to Austin for wine business, and being somewhat of a connoisseur of wine bars, decided to see how Texas' capital city wine aligned in comparison to other culinary cities. I was surprised to learn that Austin is the 14th most populous city in the U.S., but certainly not by accident. The city has provided serious incentives to grow their downtown population to 25,000 by 2015, and this is well on its way to becoming a reality, replacing its small town feel with big city traffic.
But alas, I had only two short nights in which to explore the Downtown area, commencing with a mid-evening arrival on Sunday. Where to start? Following the advice of an Austin wine professional who told me that Uchiko (www.uchiaustin.com) was the happening place, I made sure they were open on Sunday evenings, then embarked on a mission to revel in great sushi and sake in this renowned Japanese farmhouse dining spot. A fifteen-dollar cab ride later, we pulled up to a darkened building and an empty lot. The cabbie swore the place was always crowded, especially Sunday evenings when other options were unavailable. Have you guessed yet? I walked to the door, upon which was a simple note explaining that they had chosen to close that evening so their employees could enjoy The SUPERBOWL!!! Ouch! Of course every other self-respecting citizen knew better, but that's just not my universe. Now, where to go?
I had already planned my next evening, Monday, to meet friends of a friend at Google's top listed Austin Wine Bar, Max's Wine Dive (www.maxswinedive.com), which was just across the street from my hotel. Hating to spoil the next night's adventure, but needing sustenance and a nice wine treat, I headed back there, and am so glad I did. Max's was just as devoid of patronage, but they had left the lights on, so I ambled on in and sat at the bar ready to embark on a discovery of their vinous wares.
To my great delight, the wine-tender was happy to introduce me to all things Max, and what an operation they have! There is an impressive array of wines BTG (by the glass) and by the bottle from all regions, as well as weekly features of 9 Under $9 (nine wines for under $9 BTG). In addition, one can have a glass from any bottle on the menu, with a two-glass minimum.
Being a Sunday evening, and having opened many bottles the evening before, the wine-tender was especially forthcoming in offering me tastes of a myriad of exciting treats, including 2008 Etude Pinot Noir; 2009 Uppercut Cabernet Sauvignon, and a 2007 Fontanafredda Eremo Langhe Rosso. All were showing very nicely for having been open 24 hours. Additionally, they have an ongoing program of charging $2 less per glass on the second night and $4 less on the third night of being open...a gamble, but a bargain too. All wines were also available by the bottle to go, at retail prices.
Promising to return the next evening with friends, I was advised not to miss the 2008 Les Pensees de Pallus Chinon. When we gathered on Monday evening, I suggested we share this bottle and it turned out to be a quintessential Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley of France. Described as "distinctive, with a strong, racy graphite underpinning carrying the raspberry ganache, spice, incense and sweet olive notes through a long, fine-grained finish. Really enticing", it provided great education for my cohorts who were unfamiliar with the Cabernet Franc grape.
So onward we went to explore another wine haunt, not far from the Wine Dive, but on the east side, called Uncorked Tasting Room and Wine Bar (www.uncorkedtastingroom.com). Set in a funky, cozy house with separate wining and dining areas, the ambience agreed with us all. I've always believed that education is one of the main functions/duties of a wine bar, and to that end Uncorked scored, as it had flights of wines with themes like Oh, Pinot and The Gaucho. In order to continue the Cabernet Franc theme, I suggested we order this latter flight, which featured a Don Baltazar Cabernet Franc from Argentina. A new world version of the grape, it has been described as "a strong structure and a combination of pleasant aromas such as cherries, herbs and sweet pepper. Scents of vanilla and caramel are also present." But education is one thing and inundation is another, as I refer to their index of descriptions entitled Uncorked Winedex. With candlelit tables and a soothing ambience, this hard-to-read, over-the-top menu merely serves to confuse, if read at all. It is far better for the server to be informed and helpful.
And last stop on the Austin Wine Train was the Mother ship of all Whole Foods, which was a 20 minute walk from my hotel. I spent two days working with their Team Leader of Wine and Beer, and was delighted by several BTG outlets in the store. The one located within the wine department, named Bar Lamar (the store is located on Lamar Avenue) has a very savvy and affordable selection of 22 sparkling and still wines, available by a flight of 3, BTG or by the bottle.
Shop and sip….the only way to go!

LOCKHART — Shelley Vaughan is Lochart School's 2012-2013 Teacher of the Year.
Vaughan earned a Bachelor of Arts in communication from Winthrop University in 1991, but teaching did not become part of her plans until she had a child of her own.
"I discussed with my husband the possibility of quitting my job and going back to school, and we decided that it would be the right move for our family," Vaughan said. "While in school, I was a substitute teacher and really enjoyed being in the classroom and around children. This reassured me that I had made the right decision to become a teacher."
Vaughan attended Winthrop during the fall 2005 semester and went on to earn a Master of Arts in early childhood education from Converse College in 2008. She began teaching first grade at Foster Park Elementary School in 2009, and then at Lockhart School in 2010.
Lockhart Principal Betsy Trakas said she has had the opportunity to observe Vaughan's commitment to the students for the last few years.
"To Shelley, being a teacher is much more than simply being an instructor," Trakas said. "She conducts herself as a member of a school family who gladly shoulders her share of responsibility for the overall well-being of the school."
Trakas also said students in Vaughan's class feel they can succeed, and they do.
"Mrs. Vaughan plans thoughtfully with the strengths and needs of each student in mind," Trakas said. "She has often discussed with me specific challenges in the classroom and her plans for addressing them. I recall that she recently came into my office with a cheer that most teachers reserve for Friday afternoon or pay day. Shelley was celebrating a struggling reader's having finally, successfully read on grade level."
Vaughan echoed the cheer Trakas described when she was asked to discuss a moment in which she felt rewarded by her teaching career.
"When one of my students is struggling with reading and they reach the point where it starts to click with them; and to see the look on their little faces when they are successful with reading a book on their own, without any assistance," Vaughan said. "That has to be one of the most rewarding times in teaching."
Vaughan said her students' self esteem is very important to her, and she wants each of her students to feel special and loved in her classroom.
"If my students get out of their seats to come and give me a hug, I make sure that I am receptive to their feelings and not reprimand them for being out of their seats," she said. "We cannot assume that all children live in a loving and nurturing environment. I want my students to remember me as a teacher who cared about them and their education."
Vaughan also said students' success in school can depend on the amount of help they receive at home.
"It is crucial for parents to take education seriously and do their part to make sure their child is successful in education and in life," she said, mentioning the importance of parents helping young children with homework and reading to them each night. "Children need to know that a parent sees the importance of education."
Trakas said Vaughan instills important life lessons in students at every grade level: they can achieve, everyone has responsibilities and that school and learning can be fun.
"Shelley Vaughan is the teacher students see working with the PTO or School Improvement Council, going to book study with her colleagues, or selling tickets at basketball games," Trakas said. "She is also the one who is cheering at the pep rally, dressed as Huck Finn for the Storybook Character Parade, or singing 'The Chipmunk's Song' at the Christmas assembly."
Vaughan takes on numerous responsibilities as treasurer of the PTO board and member of the School Improvement Council. She also stays active outside of school by teaching Sunday School and leading Awana at Philippi Baptist Church.
"Shelley Vaughan's accomplishments and contributions to her school are many, however, they are made all the more outstanding by the attitude with which she carries out her duties and the enthusiasm with which she takes on extra responsibilities," Trakas said.
Staff Writer Derik Vanderford can be reached at 864-427-1234, ext. 29, or by email at email@example.com.

Up Close to a Tiger
To be seeing the world made new every morning, as if it were the morning of the first day, and then to make the most of it for the individual soul as if each were the last day, is the daily curriculum of the mind's desire.- John H. Finley

Oh yeah Kerri - this is a great shot.
I especially love the proboscis - when we raised the monarchs I was fascinated by the two tubes that became one -
Do you special plants around your home to draw these delicate and beautiful butterflies to you? I have lots of coneflowers that usually are a draw to the monarch - but I saw so few this year.
Never have I seen a yellow beauty like this one though!

The new Museum of Mathematics opens in Manhattan
On Saturday morning, Glen Whitney of St. James expects to feel like Willy Wonka on the day the fictional candy-maker opened the doors of his chocolate factory for the first time to a group of gobsmacked children in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."
Whitney is scheduled to throw open the doors to his long-awaited Museum of Mathematics in Manhattan, welcoming children to be just as astonished by more than 30 interactive exhibits over two floors at 11 E. 26th St. in midtown.
The target age for the museum is fourth through eighth grades, though the exhibits have more advanced explanations for older visitors. School classes can also take field trips to the museum; interested teachers should write to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here are five of the exhibits visitors will experience on a visit to the museum. --Beth Whitehouse

"This upgrade," said foundation director David Mitchell, "insures the information provided on these markers will be here for decades to come and makes it easier for the public to enjoy, appreciate and learn about the Georgia history these markers commemorate. Our goal is to upgrade as many posts as we can to preserve our state's fascinating history."
The three markers, all in or near Villanow, Ga., were originally installed in 1953, and their old tin-and-concrete posts were deteriorating, causing the signs to lean precariously and look unsightly. Two markers are now in the Villanow community: one at the intersection of Ga. Hwy. 136 and Ga. Hwy. 201/East Armuchee Road, and the other at the intersection of Ga. Hwy. 136 and West Armuchee Road, just west of Villanow.
All three markers commemorate various historical aspects of the Villanow community, Snake Creek Gap and the area's significance during the spring of 1864 when Confederat Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's Army of Tennessee and Atlanta was valiantly but futilely trying to block Union forces under Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman from advancing on Resaca and ultimately Atlanta.
M.H. Mitchell, Inc. has an agreement with the Historic Preservation Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, which manages the historical marker program for the state. The state provides the new posts, and M.H. Mitchell, Inc. provides the labor, equipment and supplies for the upgrades, plus any necessary repositioning.
For more information about M.H. Mitchell, Inc., visit mhmitchell.org/index.html.
