As a junior last season, Michala Hash was a pivotal component in Carroll County's Region IV championship and run to the Group AA Semifinals in Richmond. This year, she is playing an even bigger role as she leads the team in scoring at 8.6 points per game.
Unlike many leading scorers, Hash doesn't mind scrapping and hustling and getting dirty on the basketball court. In fact, after 15 games, she has drawn a whopping 21 charges. Also an academic standout, this week in Talking Trash, we find out what makes Hash, affectionately called "Trash Hash" by her PowerPuff football teammates, tick.
Michala, we've been told you have a 4.3 GPA, are right at the top of your class, and have made straight A's your entire high school career except for one P.E./Driver's Ed Class. Why are you better at driving the lane than driving a car? That is true. I'm not really sure why, I guess driving the lane comes more natural for me.
Is it true that you drive "way too fast?" That's what a little birdie told us. Well, some people say I do but I don't think so. I think they just drive slow and it makes me look like I'm going too fast when I pass them.
Tell us about your affection for pachyderms? Is it true you take an elephant pillow case with you to all away games? I have a huge obsession with elephants. I actually collect them. Mom says she doesn't really know why I am so attached or how it even got started but I have loved them ever since I was little. I probably have around 1,000 elephants from over the years in the house. But yes I do carry a certain pillow that has a case with an elephant head, arms, and legs to all the away games. I have had that pillow since my preschool day, so I guess you can say it is a part of me.
Your dad can bench press over 400 pounds. In terms of talking trash, I guess you could honestly use the "My dad could beat up your dad," line. At the same time, we're guessing your parents never have to worry about a boy bringing you home past curfew, huh? Yeah, I could but I like taking up for myself. When I was taking fitness I was actually benching more than my dad did when he was my age, so I'm pretty positive I could handle things myself. And for a guy bringing me home late, I think they should worry about mom more than dad. She may be little but I would not want to make that woman mad.
Since you are a big North Carolina fan, we will ask you to do the opposite of what we asked Ryan Gravley last week. Complete the following sentence: Duke's basketball program is better than North Carolina's because… Well….Duke's basketball program is better than North Carolina's because they can shoot the three. I can give a little credit to Duke just because they have one of my favorite guys from Oak Hill, Quin Cook. And my boys have really struggled the past few years with shooting the three, and that is something Duke always does.
If Austin Horton is the king of taking charges, you have to be the queen, with 21 charges drawn after 15 games. Shouldn't a talented scorer like yourself be more concerned about her own personal welfare on the basketball court? Yeah, I guess that would make me the queen. I don't really think of it like that. I'm going to do whatever it takes to benefit my team, and if that means taking some hard hits so be it.
Why would your coaches and teammates call you "a little over dramatic?" They probably say that because I do. I get so caught up in the game I get a little dramatic at times. Every now and then I get too excited and yell at my teammates but I never mean it in a bad way. I just try to help and give advice but it usually just makes them mad at me.
Okay, we've picked at you enough, but hey, that's our job here at Talking Trash. On a serious note, we understand you cut your hair for locks of love, volunteer for a lot of civic work, work part-time at Kidz World, and never talk negatively about teammates or coaches. Why do you have to make the rest of us look bad Michala? I do all of those things, but it doesn't make me that great. I guess you can say I have been raised right thanks to mom and dad. But a big part of the way I am is because of my babysitter, Vivian Hess and her husband James Hess. They watched after me while my parents were at work everyday from birth till I started getting involved with school sports. They were strict and taught me right from wrong, and I am very grateful for that.
Aside from the charges, you take a lot of punishment on the basketball court. We understand you always have strawberries and scabs, and currently tape your own thumb before each game and practice. Where does your drive to play so hard and hit the floor for loose balls and the like come from? No pain, no gain. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't discover a new bruise, strawberry, or scratch. There is no explanation for it other than I guess I was born with it. My AAU coach always told me that you can teach a kid to dribble and shoot, but you can never teach a kid hustle or passion. He says it is something you're born with.
Tell us why you are such a big fan of Oak Hill's basketball program? I like Oak Hill so much because they have a great basketball program. It's out in the middle of nowhere with just basketball, what more could ya ask for? And I really like it because they are people my age that I can be friends with. Although I haven't enjoyed this year as much because my favorite class of seniors graduated last year, and that group had my best friend in it Jordan Adams.
How did it feel to exercise your right to vote this past November? It felt pretty great. I was the only person my age that I saw at the poles when I went. And standing in line listening to all the elderly tell stories of war and the right to vote was really touching. One little man walked by (on a cane and was slowly scooting) and said, "I'll vote till the day I die, even if I have to crawl in here."
Who is your favorite teacher and why? I like most of my teachers but I have had one all time favorite. She was my third grade teacher at Gladeville Elementary School and at the time her name was Ms. Erin Wills, but now she is known as Mrs. Erin Standstorm. She always made class fun and exciting. I loved her class so much and hated moving out of her class. To this day I still keep in touch and go visit her class from time to time.
What are your plans after high school? After high school I plan to attend a college in Tennessee and study Psychology and Social Work.
Who is your favorite athlete and why? I actually have two favorite athletes and they happen to be brothers. Tyler and Ben Hansbourgh have always inspired me. They are great athletes and great role models. I actually learned how to take the charge by watching Tyler play during his Carolina days.
How does it feel to be a senior leader on this year's basketball team? I'm not really one of the main leaders but it's definitely different. I have always been a back-up because ever since AAU days I have played with Lindsay, Rachel, and Emily, so having to be first this year is a big change. It has taken a lot of getting use to but I am making the adjustment well.
You are equally skilled in shooting from the outside and driving the lane. If you had to choose, would you rather drill a 3-pointer or drive the lane and get fouled for an old-fashioned three-point play? I don't think it matters, scoring points any way always feels good. Although I can say getting the old fashion 3-point play takes a lot more work for me than shooting the three.
What was it like going to the Final Four last year and competing in the Group AA Semifinals in Richmond? It was amazing. I don't even know how to describe it. All the love and support we got from our community was unbelievable. It will definitely be the most memorable moment of my basketball career.
How much damage do you think this year's team can do in the postseason? I believe we can do as much damage as we set our minds to do. Coach Hodges always says, "You have to play to beat them by 30, not just to beat them."
And finally, what is the funniest thing you have ever heard come out of Coach Motley's mouth? Coach says a lot of funny things, especially when he tries to crack a joke. But by far the funniest thing coach said was before the Floyd game. We are in his office having our pregame discussion. He is going over our match ups and in all serious he goes, "You got kuchen-"butt"" We all died out laughing and he asked what was so funny, so we had to correct him on her name. He was trying to say Kuchenbuch, pronounced as "cookenbook."

Calling it a proud day for Sacramento, Mayor Kevin Johnson said a proposal to the keep the Kings in town has been submitted to the NBA.
"A proud day for Sacramento!" Johnson said on his Twitter page Friday morning.
The tweet follows a rousing announcement the mayor made Thursday during his State of the City address.
The NBA confirmed Friday it had a received the proposal, said Tim Frank, a league vice president.
Meeting his self-imposed deadline, Johnson brought clarity to his vision in announcing Mark Mastrov and Ron Burkle as the equity investors need in a plan to keep the Kings in Sacramento.
Johnson said Mastrov and his group will put in a bid to buy the franchise, while Burkle will lead efforts to build an arena in downtown Sacramento.
Mastrov is the former owner and founder of 24 Hour Fitness. The mayor said Mastrov told him he wants to build a winner, and bring an NBA championship to Sacramento.
"Sacramento has proven time and again to be a great NBA market. As a longtime resident of Northern California with deep ties to Sacramento, I am thrilled to be a part of an effort to do something special for this region," Mastrov said in a statement issued through the mayor's office.
"We knew all along that it wasn't a deal until the names were signed and the people announced," said Phil Oates, one of 20 Sacramento-area business leaders who have agreed to contribute $1 million each to the Kings bid and spoke with Mastrov at a private meeting last month.
"Mark Mastrov is a really likeable guy. You're in the room minutes and you like the guy. I think that's important because the NBA is going to get to decide who gets to join their club," Oates told KCRA 3.

Disneyland expands Three Kings Day celebration
This January 2012 publicity photo provided by Disneyland shows figures representing the Three Kings at a Three Kings Day celebration at the theme park in Anaheim, Calif. Disneyland launched the Three Kings Day celebration in 2012 as a test and is expanding it in January 2013 because it was so popular. ItĂs one of a number of Three KingĂs Day celebrations taking place around the U.S., where the Jan. 6 holiday is especially popular in Hispanic communities. (AP Photo/Disneyland) |
Disneyland is marking Three Kings Day in a big way this season, another milestone in the mainstreaming of a holiday that is beloved in Latin America and other cultures around the world.
The Christian holiday — also known as Twelfth Night or Feast of the Epiphany — takes place Jan. 6, ending the 12 days of Christmas. Many Hispanic communities in the U.S. celebrate Three Kings Day with parades and performances depicting the Biblical story of three kings following a star to find the baby Jesus, bringing gifts of frankincense, gold and myrrh.
Disneyland spokeswoman Michele Himmelberg said the theme park in Anaheim, Calif., "launched the Three Kings Day celebration last year as a test. It was a big success, particularly with the Hispanic community, and we're expanding it this year to a larger area."

Building Moratoriums: When Should Developers Slow Down?
Two communities in the region have OK'ed moratoriums on new development. Is that good policy? Or is it OK to slow down sometimes?
The conservative free-market advocate known as the Show-Me Institute has sounded off this week on two development show-downs in the St. Louis area.
The research/educational institute pushes for free-market approaches to dealing with public policy issues. The object of its ire this week is the decisions by city leaders in Ellisville and Frontenac to impose moratoriums on development in parts of their communities.
In a blog post on its site headlined "We Need A Moratorium On Municipal Development Moratoriums," the institute questioned "Is this an appropriate use of municipal powers?" and answered its own question with, "No, it is not."
In Frontenac, according to our report on Patch, "The board of aldermen put a six-month moratorium on development activities while the comprehensive plan is updated for land use regulations."
City officials are concerned about moving too quickly on what limited property they have to redevelop at a key intersection at Lindbergh and Clayton roads.
Meanwhile, in Ellisville, officials are considering (and the planning commission has recommended) a similar moratorium on property development on land neighboring a planned Walmart at Manchester and Clarkson roads.
A resident spoke out against the plan, saying a moratorium would be "time wasted," when a developer could create jobs and provide sales tax.
How much control should cities have over what's built in town? Are you satisfied with the pace of commercial development in your community? Is it managed well? What is the appropriate role for government in managing commercial development?

Some input from the community and some planning will lead to a better result rather than "every man for himself" development.
Jaycen Rigger
9:12 am on Tuesday, September 4, 2012
What does "every man for himself" mean?
Do people line up across the street and run to be the first to build something? You might want to think that out a bit.
People must purchase lots from those who already own them. Those people must come up with the money to build the building, and then it has to be leased or that same person must fill it with equipment and personnel and product to sell.
How is that "every man for himself"?
The market will determine what's too much and what isn't. If a developer builds too many properties and no one fills them, eventually those properties will be torn down or sold to others.
What say does the city get in how free people use their own property, unless it directly impacts the health and safety of their neighbors?
11:02 am on Tuesday, September 4, 2012
Talk about Taxpayer funded subsidies.
Has anyone any concerns that our "Taxpayer Funded Schools" are now subsidizing
Solar panel absurdity. Does anyone know WHY the private building would not could not justify the "Real" cost of solar power.
So the Government bypasses the private market and Just TAXES the residents to make our Schools the "trial ballonns" of this extremely expensive TAXPAYER FUNDED Projects now used by many Public schools.
YES! people you are paying for things NOT cost justified in the private building industry.

Great comment...sustainability, not growth, is needed. What is being replaced? What is being added? Does it improve the community? Is it a burden on taxpayers?
Suzanne Gundlach
10:16 am on Tuesday, September 4, 2012
This is a good question to ask. The conversation needs to take place -- if you were the owner of one of the parcels in this debate, how would you feel about the municipality deciding when or if your property could be developed? This development timeline naturally affects the market value for the sale of said property. Sounds too dictatorial to me.
E J Anderson
12:41 pm on Tuesday, September 4, 2012
First part: Perhaps "every man for himself" wasn't the best choice of words, but anyone who says that the market will determine what is and is not too much should look at all of the vacant businesses on Manchester Road between 141 and Clarkson--these communities don't need NEW developments and BIGGER stores, they need an appropriate re-use of properties already zoned for business. The same is true of several stretches of Olive through Creve Coeur and Chesterfield. The fact of the matter is that developers want their own projects from start to finish and are being catered to by municipalities who see new development as the only alternate to higher property taxes for residents when the communities need money.
E J Anderson
12:42 pm on Tuesday, September 4, 2012
Second Part: The ONLY tax incentive should be given to people who re-develop already vacant properties--why did Schnuck's NEED a new store at Clarkson and Kehrs Mill when they could have moved into the vacant Straub's property at Clayton? Why was the Sansone Group trying to build an assisted living center on a rural residential street in Chesterfield when the Chesterfield Manor property is still available and already appropriately zoned? And why in God's name do we need an outlet mall (or two) built on the floodplain off I-64 west of Olive--where and when does "BUILD, BUILD, BUILD" end?!?!?! If West County communities aren't careful, they will be retail, office buildings, and the tiny little properties no one seems to want and all the residents will move elsewhere and only come here to shop (that is, until the deveolpers invade and conquer THAT area, too!).
Leann Starr
8:00 pm on Wednesday, October 31, 2012
E J Anderson has made a very important point. Blight occurs when commercial properties (like aging malls) are abandoned in favor of developing new commercial properties from residential areas or farmland. We need to direct developers to transform existing commercial areas in need of redevelopment through zoning restrictions. There is no need to give developers tax incentives to improve commercial properties. They will do this on there own when the municipalities stop paying them to do the wrong thing. The purpose of government is to provide leadership, not handouts to big corporations - TIFS never go to small businesses.
Kim C.
3:32 pm on Tuesday, September 4, 2012
The cities aren't saying people can never build in these areas, just that they planning commissions need some time to make sure that the land uses already in place are the appropriate ones and that the amount of certain types of planned uses haven't already been exceeded.
Once a developer has an application in process, the city can't change the land use. That has to be done during a time where nothing is actively in the pipeline, really the only way to do that any more is to have a moratorium. I wish Maryland Heights would declare a moratorium in their flood plain, while new land uses and densities were discussed.
Rockwood 25
3:42 pm on Tuesday, September 4, 2012
The problem is that "the market" deciding development isn't being charged the true cost of development. Whether out in far-off burbs or in the core, infrastructure can only take so much. After that, more investment by "the government", i.e. taxpayers, end up covering another huge portion, whether or not any gains are attained by the whole.
Farmers and long-time landowners/homeowners finding their wells dry and having to invest in deeper wells and lower water supplies are just one small slice of this. The subdivisions filled with people needing water not only for their homes and families, but also using it for lawns, swimming pools, fountains and golf courses have put an extra demand and strain on a system, which becomes painfully evident in a drought.
A development, or a group of them, is often built then it becomes evident that the sewers, roads, electric, natural gas and more are not sufficient and need to be expanded, at a cost to society as a whole, not the developer.
It is appropriate that governing bodies limit development, especially when facing growing pains from the expenses of previously required additions and vacant properties that could and should be developed first before affecting existing businesses and residents.
Elisabeth Boone
12:34 pm on Thursday, September 6, 2012
I'm all for the free market, except that today it's far from free. When municipalities use eminent domain and "blighting" to justify land grabs from private owners, then offer sweetheart tax abatement deals to massive retail chains, it's the (mostly) middle-class residents who pick up the tab while being forced to endure increased traffic, noise, and crime.
Recent reports of crimes at the Galleria and Brentwood Square describe the actions of suspects who don't appear to be local residents. Security seems tight at the Galleria, yet the crimes continue as the retail sprawl rolls on. How much of this madness are we willing to tolerate?
Would developers be so eager to buy and build if they had to acquire land without the force of eminent domain or blighting? What if they had to pay their fair share of taxes instead of getting big breaks at taxpayer expense? What if they had to live in the congested sprawl they create, with escalating noise and crime?
"Free market" doesn't mean "Do whatever you want and damn the consequences." It means that you invest your own money, time, and resources, and you take full responsibility for the consequences. If your plans are sound, they're likely to succeed, and you and your shareholders will enjoy the profits. If your plans are flawed, they may fail, and you'll have to deal with the losses yourself.
That's the kind of free market I respect and support.

Other Cities would be well advised to evaluate the real need for additional buildings in a given location. Owners of parcels within a given city limits understand, or, should understand when they purchase these parcels that local government knows best what is needed to be added to their cities enterprise inventory.

mHealth: It's time to 'grab on'
Mobile health is one of the more transformative developments in healthcare, according to Patricia Abbott, associate professor of nursing at the University of Michigan, School of Nursing, Division of Nursing Business and Health Systems. "The real winners will be the ones who grab on in the front end, and don't wait," she says.The future of mHealth will be one in which, "in a very short period of time, we'll look back and we won't believe we didn't have it." The speed at which mHealth is becoming mainstream "goes hand in hand with the way technology is changing and the way people are thinking," Abbott says. "People who have grown up with computers

PASA sows seeds of sustainable, innovative farming practices in Pennsylvania fields
Posted by Jamie Oberdick on 05/20 at 09:58 AM
Article by PASA Staff
Back in the early '90s a small gathering of Centre County "kindred spirits" came together around the idea of founding an organization that focused on a variety of sustainable farming practices, addressed issues family farmers faced, and filled a need for those who wanted to support "alternative" agriculture, as some may have called it back then. Through the dedicated efforts of this group (many of whom still live, work, and farm in Centre County), the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture (PASA) took root over 20 years ago and today continues to flourish throughout Pennsylvania.

WPSU radio story asks: Can State College support a local food co-op store?
Posted by Jamie Oberdick on 05/15 at 10:39 AM
A few weeks ago, WPSU ran a story by Kate Lao Shaffner during Morning Edition on the new Friends & Farmers organization. We wrote about them back in early April. Their goal is to establish a co-op grocery store with local food here in State College.

Elk Creek brewer offers summer beer/food pairings
Posted by Jamie Oberdick on 05/10 at 11:35 AM
Editor's Note: This is part 1 of a two-part look at summer food and beer pairings with Centre County brewers - today, Elk Creek Cafe + Aleworks, and next Friday, Otto's Pub and Brewery. Traditionally, pairings of food and drink has usually been about wine. But over the last decade or so, as craft beers and ales have become more and more prevalent, beer and food pairings have come to the forefront. Everybody knows how well a nice cold glass of beer goes with wings or burgers, but what about more adventurous pairings? I recently talked to Tim Yarrington, the brewer responsible for the excellent libations that Elk Creek Cafe + Aleworks puts out on a regular basis, about some beer food pairings that will make you want to head to Millheim and grab a growler or two.

Finally, someone sets the record straight on what's "real" Pennsylvania Dutch food
Posted by Jamie Oberdick on 05/08 at 02:05 PM
I grew up in York, PA, which is part of what is considered the most famous of our state's "Pennsylvania Dutch" country. While York doesn't attract the throngs of tourists that Lancaster does, Pennsylvania Dutch cooking has had a big influence on the area's local eating. Because of this, I consider myself a bit of a Pennsylvania Dutch food "purist"—for example, I know that if a book has a recipe for "Pennsylvania Dutch pot pie" and it includes a crust, then it's not an authentic recipe. So, I was quite thrilled to stumble upon an NPR blog post about a new book by a Pennsylvania Dutch food expert, William Woys Weaver.

Local plant sales offer variety of food and ornamental plants
Posted by Jamie Oberdick on 05/06 at 03:15 PM
Plant sales are a fairly common sight in and around Happy Valley in May. They are a boon for gardeners who want to find unusual or native plants to add to their garden. They are also a good way to keep your garden a more "pure" source of local food, since instead of buying plants that were shipped to a big box store, you buy plants from a local vendor or organization.

At the Dinner Table with French Penn State Graduate Student Sandra Rosseau
Posted by Jamie Oberdick on 05/02 at 10:00 AM
Editor's note: At the Dinner Table is a new series on Local Food Journey. The concept behind this feature is a type of conversation you might have at dinner with a friend. I am sure many of you have talked local food at dinner, while having local food on the table (how meta is that?), so this series will feature members of the local community talking about local food and the role it plays in their lives. This is the first in the series, and in this inaugural At the Dinner Table I talked to Sandra Rosseau, a PhD student at Penn State from France. She came to Penn State in 2007. Her research interests now focus on the roles that humor plays in the context of Franco-Algerian memory. In her free time, she enjoys music, photography, and as you will soon see, cooking.

Stanford student finds connection between local food and building a diverse community

Recipe: Spinach salad with bacon and smoked cheese
Posted by Jamie Oberdick on 04/29 at 12:42 PM
I didn't care how many times Popeye beat Bluto after downing a can of spinach, as a kid I just plain HATED spinach. But as my culinary horizons broadened as I grew up, I quickly learned that spinach didn't have to be a lifeless splatter of lumpy green on a plate. In fact, spinach has become my favorite salad green, and since it is a spring crop, we are in spinach season here in Central Pennsylvania.

Otto's spring/summer menu includes food grown in on-site garden
Posted by Jamie Oberdick on 04/25 at 12:37 PM
Otto's Pub and Brewery finds a lot of what they serve both on the plate and in the pub glass from local vendors, but one source can be best described as hyper-local—a couple of onsite gardens. These onsite gardens may entail some work—when I talked to Pete Herncane, head chef of Otto's, for this post he had just came in from weeding their garden—but they offer a source of very fresh herbs and vegetables for their local food menu.

Five Reasons to Compost
Posted by Jamie Oberdick on 04/22 at 03:01 PM
You just made a big pot of soup with all sorts of stuff you got from the farmer's market. Now you have carrot tops, potato peels, yellowed greens, etc. Throw them in the garbage? No way! You have compost, not trash.

Hello everyone out there,
I am currently working on a turn based strategy game and my team currently consists of a programmer, an agile project manager and a bunch of artists ( 3D / interior design )
However, we are in dire need of a level designer with experience either from a former games development project or from a games development education. If you are interested, I suggest you contact me ( we're situated in Brighton )
Additional programmers are also welcome ( c++ , python but others are welcome too - our current programmer can handle most things )
Artists are always welcome, just know what you are doing in Photoshop and have a portfolio ready. (The game will be sci-fi based so you'll need to be able to think outside the box while making machinery design actually look functional)
Skype: brasilianaren
Kind regards,

Soderbergh's Liberace biopic deemed "too gay" for theaters
"Behind the Candelabra," starring Matt Damon and Michael Douglas, will air on HBO instead
By Prachi GuptaTopics: liberace, Michael Douglas, matt damon, Steven Soderbergh, acting, Gay Rights, homosexuality, Homophobia, Entertainment News
"Magic Mike" director Steven Soderbergh's new film, "Behind the Candelabra," is a "beautiful and relatable" film about "a real relationship — a marriage — long before there was gay marriage," according to Matt Damon, who plays the entertainer's (Michael Douglas) young lover in the Liberace biopic. But that didn't matter to Hollywood, apparently, who considered an in-depth look at a homosexual relationship too risky for theaters. In a recent interview with the New York Post, the Oscar-winning director said that "Nobody would make it." "We went to everybody in town," he said. "They all said it was too gay."
"And this is after 'Brokeback Mountain,' by the way, which is not as funny as this movie. I was stunned. It made no sense to any of us," Soderbergh added.
Instead, HBO has picked up the film and will premiere it this spring. "The whole package to them looked … like a slam dunk. The studios didn't know how to sell it. They were scared."

Blitz Trigger
Posted 05 October 2012 - 09:46 AM
Did you adjust the magnet tension screw next to the trigger? Or maybe took it apart to clean and the magnet fell off?
Posted 05 October 2012 - 04:34 PM
yeah i adjusted the magnet trigger thats about it though and it only does it sometimes for some wierd reason like it hasnt been doing it lately
Posted 05 October 2012 - 05:20 PM
thats because the screw is becomming progressively loose until it finally moves out, use loctite
Posted 05 October 2012 - 05:53 PM
Use loctite on the magnet screw, and if that doesnt work, then send it to azodin. They have great customer service and will fix it for free, you will just have to pay shipping

Let me know if you are a Corporate recruiter, Staffing or Search firm.
Regards, Cynthia
I don't because I am an independant recruiter and work on just a few positions at a time. If I had dozens of reqs like corporate recruiters often have then I would probably use Excel. When I was a corporate recruiter (seems like a lifetime ago) I did indeed use Excel or some other spreadsheet.
I tend to put alot of notes or reminders to myself in Outlook Calendar on next steps with hot reqs and candidates.
Corporate Recruiter - and like Amy I use an ATS that only I look at, and I also have weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly Excel spreadsheets, again for my own use (though I have sent them to my bosses to show all of my activity when things get chaotic). If I didn't track, there is no way I'd remember all of the Candidates and jobs I am working on!
Agency - i use color codes in outlook and calendar reminders. Also set up file folders in outlook and copy resumes into folders when they are submitted on a job. Folders are named, dated ,closed when filled and moved to a different section of outlook inbox. Fast reference to good candidates and full write ups for the next "same type of job". No spreadsheets, i hate filling out forms.
Definitely need to keep track of things. Also, hint here. you can also use that same spreadsheet to keep copies of your best search strings and G2 info for that search
Me too maintain and update my own db.Its best way to keep it organised and handy.
Oh yes, it drives me nuts.
Excel - sometimes Google Drive Spreadsheet when collaborating with multiple people.

no worries MG. If u ever need some advice on zenithal lighting give us a shout, its a pretty straight forward idea, but not so easy to execute

I've been trying to get this zenithal lighting technique down as I've actually tried it on my Zeta Evolve. I guess it just takes practice to get it down as go as you do it.
Not sure if you already know this ?..but somebody probably doesn't so I figure I'll yammer
take practice.. still working on that.. but..
Zenithal lighting
is also
in the armor world.
A good method is to imagine (or use) real world lighting, and paint from your dark shadows up to your lights
using color gradients so it isn't just black to a color.
A great way to see this easily and have it right next to you while you model/practice, is this book.
(Not sure why it's so expensive here?, I got one pretty cheap)
It REALLY explains the technique well with accurate pics.
Even though the book is mostly hand painting, it's worth it, as you can take the technique right from hand painting through airbrushing.
I don't have the link handy but Mig modeling videos are pretty spectacular for this too.
Even shows you how to maintain air brushes and use pigments.
Also, I noticed in the gundam world, shading sometimes is opposite, which may also throw you off?
Sometimes people paint darks on the edges where there would, in reality, be bright specular/gradient type light.
I say stylized is great. Anybody should do what they like... but in Darks for example, his light direction is fairly accurate all around.
By the way, this blue gradient is also looking pretty sick spectacular. Really nice highlights Dark.
Nice like ice.

cheers grail :) iv been surprised how smooth iv been able to get things using my airbrush, yay for large flat surfaces!
having read through ur post, theirs a couple of things I dont quite agree with. colour modulation, iv got migs dvd for it here and the way they describe it is you shift you colour tones to draw attention to certain parts of the model, although u do get similar gradient effects, it doesnt really reflect realistic lighting. the other is the GW how to paint book, iv actually got that copy of it from back in the day, its decent for beginners but it doesnt mention realistic light, the eavy metal teams style is actually quite anti zenithal lighting, they highlight models with a layer or two and a edge highlight, its a very unrealistic style
good zen light ref for me would be
Jeremie Bonamant Pre-Umbrage
aka the easy way to find ur zenithal lighting
Jeremie Bonamant Athela
Jose aka JMPN
Allan Carrasco
And prob the most relevant is
Aliaume's wip
iv linked to the page he starts a forge world tank paint job, he is a fantastic painter and applies a zenithal style to vehicles better than any i know, here is a link to his
cmon gallery

Thanks for all the links, there's some great stuff in there.
I wouldn't call zenithal lighting realistic either though - IMO it's an artistic choice and it can create very heavily stylised lighting.
If you look at a tank under the light, what matters is the angle of the surface to the light (and your eye) for diffuse lighting, and the angle and relative position for specular (shiny) lighting. The graduated shading of flat panels (light falloff across the surface) is something you'd only see in reality with a point source very close to the top of the model (so the falloff curve would be steep) or with very heavy fog attenuating the light :)
It still looks cool, it's just the realism claim I don't agree with. Your Imperator is different though - that largely has graduation on the curved surfaces (where the angle changes across the surface) and where things appear from shadows cast by the upper parts of the model. Very clever stuff - I reckon it's *much* better than the tank gallery you linked to.
I was thinking the other day that it's funny how we often try to photograph our models in super-neutral lightbox conditions, then paint them so that they look strongly lit - it's like the two things are fighting. It does work though - maybe because we're substituting our cool baked lighting for boring old natural lighting?

its a bit of a difficult one isnt it will
the whole idea with zenithal lighting is to try and paint light in a more realistic manner, if you look at classic art where its come from its used to great effect to create realism, its applied to great effect in the illusion of
trompe l'oeil
, the issues start to mount up when you to apply the technique to something so small.
For a 28mm mini to have contrast so it can stand out you have to exaggeration and stretch the highlights and the shadows until its no longer realistic, its just somethin you have to do to get a nice looking model. I linked Aliaume's stuff not because I thought it was realistic, but because I find his stuff more realistic than alot of the tanks and GK i see (and i love his stylised paintjobs
), his lighting is very exaggerated and stylised but at least he is working with a light source, alot of finished GK I see tend to have the same light value from top to bottom.
for me personally i want to try and find a balance between realistic and overly stylised and am hoping I can do that with the contemptor :)
one reference I did miss out on and it prob the does strike the balance between is
Industria Mechankia's
stuff, if you look at the 3D and alot of the artwork they are zenithally lit,
The Rook
I think is a good example :)
iv actually got the stylised vs realistic issue myself at the moment, the left shoulder pad is quite flat, theirs little difference in height on the top panel between the front and the back (a slight slope) and then theirs a big drop, if i was to paint it realistically the top would be quite flat and then the back would be very dark, that unfortunately wouldnt look very good and wouldnt match the rest of the paintjob, however if I go the opposite way and create a large gradient their it will look unrealistic.
had a chat with a friend of mine last night and here is a (very!) rough mockup of what we agreed would look right
Dark's WIP
if youve got any other ideas on how to paint the shoulder please do share :)

Those are great links, thanks!
I totally agree with both of you even if you both are waaay too obsessed with semantics
I think both of your points have a lot of merit. MIG dvds for example. I have them too and yes, the modulation description is presented in the way you mentioned. I just believe it's a good way to help somebody
get on their way
to doing their own method.
After watching the Jeremie Bonamant video, pretty much looks exactly like modulation techniques to me though?
Eavy metal miniature book is beginner,stylized, etc, but one of the few books out there that you can really see what's going on for people that don't know a place to start. I also agree with Will in that Zenithal isn't realistic lighting really either. I think it's all kind of stylized.
Which is also why I referenced some of the items in my post.
For example..
I also have a slightly different opinion about the 3d render stuff on you mentioned on IM. None of that is zenithal anything really.
It does strike a balance though. like.. (it must look real, even if it's cheated, but must also look cool, even if you must cheat it.)
3D is usually several layers of baked in textures simulating rgb, specular, ambient occlusion, diffuse, etc.. then, literally,
a real world lighting setup is created in 3d. Can be anything from 1 crappy spotlight, to a simple but effective Global Illumination setup using the renderer of choice.
The grey shaded renders you are seeing on those sights are often simply the occlusion shader only, or occlusion and GI.
You COULD argue that you can
zenithal into your textures though, with some software packages.
Back on track. I do love the icy smooth blue gradient. I could give less of a crapithal how it's technically defined, but I do love it
ON that note. Time for me to kick my own ass for nerding out like that, and get back to modeling
PS. Check out Ricks site if you haven't already. This guy can paint some convincing everything. I love his stuff.
Cheers guys.

The mig dvds are very good and Id certainly recommend em, the colour modulation am struggling to see the similarities with zenithal lighting but you guy will know alot more about modulation, so ill happily conceded on that one
the zen lighting, it might now always be used in a ultra realistic way, but the idea that you choose a light source(s) and you try and paint the lights and shadows to reflect the direction that the light source is coming from, for me its the most realistic way I have found to describe how light interacts with a model, if you guys know any alternative techniques id love to hear about em
as for the rook, how would you describe the lighting on it? for me its been lit with a single light source from above and the lights and shadows reflect, so it looks like zenithal lighting to me, however ur obviously far more nerdier that me when it comes to 3D programs so am quite happy to concede on this one as well
also does rick post on the forum grail? theirs some really cool stuff in his gallery, would be well worth having a gander at his wip :)

No need to concede. Only " the need for speed "
Apparently I have been watching Top Gun again..
I think in terms of painting models and such, your rules/definitions of zen are fine. I don't think there is a different way to describe zen/your painting technique, and I'm not a workflow warrior, so I think what you are doing and describing is good. The results speak for themselves and all done your stuff looks " lit", which is what I define as Zeneriffic.
Rook : Something like this seems like what I described in my last post. Lots of texture work, as in, creating 3d layers of texture and color etc and an "ambient occlusion" shader for the shading in the recesses.. and rendering them out. I would guess this is 1 light, probably a "directional" or "point" light and sitting in a 3d scene that is lit by Global Illumination with shadows turned on.
(maybe 3 point lighting scenario?, but I'm not sure.)
In very basic terms, GI is like turning on a setting that simulates the sun, or moon, or some type of environment,
or extracting light information for your scene from an image " HDRI" etc..
Not always easy to tell as the results are varied.
For example, this guy has some sick photo real lighting.
This is CG by the way...
Pretty awesome modeler too.
You can see the background images he is using for "GI " or "HDRI" to extract light in the photo for his 3d scene.
(I'm aware I'm generalizing through this post for all of you lighters out there)
I think Rick may post here? I have never seen a wip from him. I usually can't get my jaw closed to check out anything else after I look at his stuff.
No more novels for me. I quit nerding.
Eagerly waiting to see more of your paint. After the Taco, I want to see more
Cheers dude.

Citadel has released a new edition of the book for 2012; Amazon lists it
. The new book is spiral-bound and designed to be turned sideways and stood up to use as a reference while you work, which makes it more convenient than pinning it open with something heavy (although I'm sure there would be places where you'd want a third hand to flip pages while you're painting):
Dark's WIP
I expect that the high prices you're seeing for the older edition are just the eternal "Out of print? Jack up the price and see who
wants one!" attitude preying on people who lack sufficient Google-fu to find the new edition.

You also run up against the 'scale effect' zealots; their premise is that to increase the realism of the paint job, you need to
the colors to make it look realistic, because with, say, a 1/100 model being viewed at a distance of two feet, you're seeing the model at the same size as the
would appear at a distance of
feet, and you have to mimic the way that the atmosphere fades and blues colors with increasing distance for the paint job to look realistic. There is, however, a sizeable community who believe that, for larger scales (and the cutoff varies) that the effect is too subtle to notice under all the weathering and other effects layered on the base paint job, but most will agree that at 1/72 or below the effect is significant enough to allow for.

will be stretching the lights/shadows, not sold on it at all at the moment, only real consolation i have is i know the weathering will make it look alot better and all i really need to worry about is the contrast and light postion. need to convince myself a bit more first though

The torso, legs and right arm are the business, I love the shading on the left boot!
The only bit that doesn't work for me is the left shoulder pad. It might be the lighting in the photo, but I think making the small top face lighter, and slightly lightening the section where the 5 spikes are to about the mid-tone would look better. Caveat: this is not an expert opinion

very close to being finished with the acrylics on the white, theirs been alot of frustration today with it, so I might just down tools for the day. i need to soften the shadows on the inside of the back leg and then ill be moving on to deepening/brightening the shadows and highlights with oils
@will - ill be coming back to the blue as iv oversprayed on to it in some areas, so ill have a look at the pad whilst am doing that :)

only real concern at the moment (apart from having so little time!) is the eyes, I am planning on doing them in osl, however that colour should be orange, but iv only ever seen it done well once
Scott's Night Lord
and its not a colour iv ever really used, so yea, its thrown me a bit!

The legs and the entire rear view look fantastic, it's cool to see how the small scale highlighting is integrated with the large scale work you did earlier. I wouldn't have expected the luminous blues to look so nice with the chips, but they really work - maybe it's the white providing some kind of visual buffer? This is all very educational for me, thanks for posting!
On the column, I'm not sure. I like what you've done with the broken concrete, it's full of energy and weight. Compared to that the column seems a bit weedy and Classical and maybe doesn't fit so well with the 40K Gothic aesthetic so well. I can see it's a good compositional element though. Could you replace it with a flagpole with a narrow pennant streaming out behind the figure following the bend of the concrete? Or would that be super-cheesy?

Hudson Valley splendor due to Ice Age, book says
The next time you behold a majestic Hudson Valley landscape, remember to thank the Ice Age for it. At least, that's how a pair of married scientists from Greene County sees it.
In fact, if Robert and Johanna Titus had their way, they'd tell you, if it was possible, to go hug a glacier.
Maybe that's a bit of a hyperbole, but the Tituses, who live in Freehold, insist that the beauty we see around the region is a direct product of the Ice Age, that period of time that began 2.6 million years ago when almost a third of the Earth was intermittently covered by ice. Technically, we are still in the Ice Age, they say, because the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are still around.
The couple — he a geologist and she a molecular biologist — released "The Hudson Valley in the Ice Age: A Geological History and Tour" last October. It has already attracted curiosity and interest.
"All of the landscape features, even the flat farm fields that we see, were produced as a result of glaciations and the melting and erosion that followed," Johanna Titus said in a recent phone interview. "So we have beautiful Kaaterskill Clove … and even the riverside promontories, where all the mansions sit that were mostly deltas created from flows of the Ice Age."
Like most projects that become books, the Titus' story of how their collaboration originated is worth telling. Even scientists, she said, step back, enjoy life and partake of the vast cultural resources offered in the region.
So it is with the erudite couple, originally from Hawthorne, N.J.
"We travel up and down the Hudson Valley all the time, mostly to cultural events," Johanna said. "We go to concerts and book talks and go see all the historical sites and have been involved in several of the historic places, and, everywhere we go, what we see is something we'd like to call a gift of the Ice Age.
"If we go to Olana (the historic home of artist Frederic Edwin Church in Hudson), we see the work all these wonderful Hudson River School painters did, and they couldn't have done that if it hadn't been for the landscapes having been sculpted by the Ice Age," she added.
"That's how the idea for the book developed. We want people to understand this wonderful place we live in is really a gift of the Ice Age," said Johanna, a biology professor at Dutchess Community College in Poughkeepsie. Continued...
During their travels, the pair looked for geological clues to show what might have happened.
Titus and her husband, Robert, a professor at Hartwick College in Oneonta, also point their readers to specific sites like Kaaterskill Clove in the eastern Catskills or the Shawangunk Mountains extending from Ulster into Sullivan and Orange counties.
Said Robert, "Kaaterskill Clove and all of its features — especially the Red Chasm — was eroded by melt-water torrent. The flat terrains — that you see up and down the valley — formed at the bottom of a glacial lake when the ice melted."
The book, a 212-page paperback released by Black Dome Press last fall, took about two years to complete, including one for travels and research.
The Tituses had co-authored articles before for such area publications as Kaatskill Life magazine, but this was their first book together. Robert Titus also has three other books under his belt: "The Catskills in the Ice Age," released in 2003; "The Catskills: A Geological Guide," in 2004; and "The Other Side of Time: Essays by 'The Catskill Geologist," in 2007. They were all published by Purple Mountain Press.
Johanna said they sat in separate rooms to write the manuscripts and emailed each other their thoughts as they worked. "I was in the family room, which serves as my office, and he was in his office upstairs or in the dining room where's there's a wood stove," she said.
Of course, when you get two scientists together, you're bound to have some disagreements, as Robert observed.
"Oh, sure, we debated lots of things like the chapter about the extinction of the mastodons (chapter 30) and who is responsible for their extinction," he said.
Other than that, he added, there was harmony in their home as they typed away.
"I'm a better writer than Johanna, and she's a super scientist," he said. "I did most of the writing, and she did most of the research." Continued...
He also has special moments in the book, what he's calling "mind's-eye journeys," where he transports readers back to the Ice Age.
"I become almost a poet trying to imagine what it was like, Robert said. "I took literary license to describe the Ice Age and do the best I can to imagine a world that science tells us did exist."
Johanna said she and her husband also wrote the book in such a way that it's easily understood by a non-scientific audience. "Generally, people are telling us they're enjoying it and finding things in our book that they never realized before," she said.
"They never stop to think that flat farm fields were glacial lakes or that boulders they see here and there were carried by glaciers and put in place when the glaciers melted. Hopefully, we're providing them with explanations, so they can see them in a new way."
It was such a good experience for the couple that plans are under way for future projects.
"We've found we're gung-ho for a second edition, and, particularly, we haven't been toward Putnam and Westchester counties, so we can hang out there for the weekend and add it to a new edition," Johanna said.
In the meantime, the pair will be discussing and signing the book at various locations, including Inquiring Minds bookstore at 6 Church St. in New Paltz, on March 17 at 3 p.m. They're very proud of the book and even prouder of how they've helped others to see beyond the breathtaking landscapes in the Hudson Valley.
"We want them to put the book in the glove compartment of their cars and go and see all this stuff for themselves and appreciate the Hudson Valley as a gift of the Ice Age," Robert said.
"We should all have a 'Have you thanked a glacier today?' bumper sticker on our cars," he added with a laugh.

Awesome Leggins!

Comments about NIKE Women's Legend Tight Fit Training Pants:
Bought these to have a warmer pant to workout in. Now I wear these so much I need to buy another pair! They are great for working out, but now I find myself wearing them out. Because they are thicker than your normal leggins they are great to wear out of the house. Good quality. These go in the washer at least once or twice a week. I try to hang them to dry but a few times they have accidentally ended in the dryer (oops) but they came out fine. Love these! Highly recommend for workouts and just everyday wear :)
