Ok well i started a sketchbook last year but i thought i needed a new start. Somewhere to post only recent work.
I'm pretty new to working digitally in terms of painting (only 12 months or so)
I currently work in Visual Effects ( film) but am looking to move into concept art as a full time occupation. I thought I would use this sketchbook to map out my progress as I attempt to put a decent portfolio together.
I graduated in 2003 with an illustration degree but pretty much neglected my artwork for a couple of years (except for a few tour posters i did for bands).
Now i'm looking to really knuckle down and land my dream job as a concept artist.

Honeymoon, Imaginary and Chocolate Thanks guys, always nice to get good feed back.
Seeing as i've been trying to get my digital skills up to scratch i've started doing some speedpaintings. (landscapes)
I must say your works are very good. I love this landscape you did (and the others above it) the sense of realism is almost overpowering.
Nice one there.
I liek the textures used and the atmosphere.
Hatton Slaydon & Janos - Thank you!

Thanks for the comment!
Nice sketchbook you have here. I especially like this landscape:
The colours are beautiful.
Keep up drawing in general, I would like to see some more quick sketches. Quite often they are the ones that show what you should focus to improve on.
Nice monkey, you should finish it.
Loving it though, keep on drawing.

The best thing i have learned with photoshop is to work big with large blocks of general color and/or value. Then save the details for last. And use a hard brush because its easier to go back and soften edges later. You can set the brush to have opacity that is responsive to pen pressure, aswell as size (although i suggest a big chunky square brush of uniform size).
Anyways, check out Randis Albion's videos, or perhaps Daarken's. They both offer great advice.

Awesome SB Kambei!! Love the landscapes but you gotta finish that chimp. Keep up the good work my friend.
Yeah i know i really should block in all the colour first but im just a sucker for getting stuck into the most detailed areas. I guess thats the part i enjoy the most.The best thing i have learned with photoshop is to work big with large blocks of general color and/or value. Then save the details for last.

Sourgasm - Thanks dude.
Turbosnail - Thanks man, I'll finish it eventually.
Love the chimp drawing. Biro is fantastic for those kinds of varying textures. Your sense of colour in the two landscape drawings is also good. The second has a very nice gradient towards the horizon.
Keep em coming And ty for visiting my sketchbook too.
I gotta agree with everyone on the landscapes. They look real as #$%^.
pretty nice , but that Mash-up of pictures with the girl and jelly fish -- don't stretch pictures it makes things looks unrealistic and people will tell right away -- when ever something looks off that's were the eye races too and focuses on. but i know your still working on it , keep up the good work.
Wow im really envious I like the first one uploaded
Whoooaaa, that monkey is crazy! Nice stuff man!
Wicked start to the new sketchbook! Really nice rendering on the chimp's face.
It looks promising; though I would agree that you could at least block the the colours out a bit better before you focus on the face on the latest
Now Finish it ~

thanks for visiting my sketchbook!
great stuff in here. love your latest wip
Wow. So little post, so much variety!! Great rendering technique, and great photocompositions! Please post more, so that you can percieve your work in a better fashion.
Ok so i deleted the jellyfish piece as it has been giving me jokes.
Jangmai - Thanks man, gotta love good old biro soo underrated!
Lapada - You're right it just did'nt work things looked stretched, I've deleted it for now. (Will go back and fix at some point).
DomasPorada - Thank you!
Jamesy - Cheers Senoir!
Royzy - Glad people like the Chimp!
dan liimatta - will do with the rest. I just could'nt resist getting stuck straight into the details.
sarbro - No probs, Thanks.

il just have to wait for the keyboard autocorrection hack before i upgrade ...
PF, thanks for that great review.
Pls do not hesitate when the news of jailbreaking and unlocking comes up.
You know in that pictures the white looks to creamy and not blank enough.
I wonder, with the plastic white back cover, if it will turn a bit yellow in certain places, if I recall, didn't the white iBooks have that type of problem? Maybe the back cover might even melt a little, the iPhone does tend to get pretty hot, especially when charging.
dude GREAT review.but now im mad. i cant afford the contract...im 15 and want one sooooooooo bad!
Great review I also got the white 16 with a white lrg iphone case lovin them both
great review! seems like you didn't have issues like everyone else
great review!!
i haven't got mine yet, on pre-order through AT&T.
There are new features you mentioned I didn't even know of!
PF - that really was the best review i have read or watched yet.
however, did you mean to say "Save Image or Open Link" instead of "Save Image of Open Link" ?
Nice review, but what's with AppStore? Why are the applications/games different depending on location?
In the UK, there is no "eBay" application, ok if it doesn't work in another country, then we can hope for a UK version, but "scrabble"??? I just thought I'd check for Scrabble being as I saw in in your screenshot PF, was that from AppStore, and WTF is it not available in the UK?? It's not as if the word dictionary is in a different language?
YellowPages is available in the UK, but it only contains U.S data. What's the point of that??
The Irish AppStore has f*** all games and applications.
Jobs advertises these Apps then they're only available in certain countries.
Ok, apple.com shows the following clause:
but the UK version of the Apple Web Site is advertising "Ebay" as a Top App in iTunes: http://www.apple.com/uk/iphone/"Some applications are not available in all areas. Application availability and pricing are subject to change."
You have to admit, the AppStore is definitely biassed toward the U.S, even though the launch of the 3G iphone was to 22 countries.
Great review, THank you. Oh OK I guess I will go get one now!
wooooot i got a white one 2!!!!! whites the way to go. i love my phone so far even without a jailbreak. hopefully the jailbreak will come out, before the new wears off. but anyways. the new phone is amazing in your hand it feels better both vertically and horizontally. its the same iphone as before, but a little newier and much improved. love this phone. but the battery to me is HORRIBLE i cant get it to last all day like the iphone classic (ha). im lucky to not be past half way by 2 oclock
I love the idea of built screen shot! i was wondering how you got those crystal clear screenshots without a 3rd party app.
Hey how did u do the screen shot? and thanks btw for the safari tip!!
Hey man im 15 also and I only pay 30 bucks a month since my family has att. If u got a steady job thats all I pay a month which isnt terrible for unlimited data.
White-on (like right on)
I choose the white model too.
Makes me feel like Marion 'Cobra' Cobretti.
Is that a 3G next to your grenades???
i've got a 16GB black 3G.
this is the best review on the net to date.
everything a real iphone owner needs to know, laid out clear and simple.
congrats PF.
Thanks PF for your review. I am personally waiting for the 3G to get unlocked and don't know how much I will have to pay for the phone but maybe worth not having to sign up with AT&T. Hate the handcuffs. For now, just waiting to get the 2.0 unlocked and use the functionality if the software. If I don't see the 3g speed maybe I won't notice that mine is so slow.
MMI great site & service for our community.

Judicial activism occurs when judges write subjective policy preferences into the law rather than apply the law impartially according to its original meaning. As such, activism does not mean the mere act of striking down a law.
Judges expand on or invent erroneous precedents to give legal status to their preferred outcomes.
Judges strain the plain text to achieve their apparent desired ends, bending terms to the point of breaking.
Unable to justify their conclusion with U.S. law, judges turn to international law to justify their preferred outcome.
Judges mischaracterize the facts or emphasize selective facts to support a desired result.
Judges expand the power of the judiciary beyond its constitutional limits.
Judges rely on the so-called Living Constitution to make the Constitution comport with their self-described enlightened sensibilities.
Judges abolish the protection of established rights to which they are personally opposed.
Judges elevate personal sympathy for a litigant above the requirements of law.

These marbled paper bindings of books were a popular alternative to the much more expensive, sumptuous leather and half-leather bindings that we today mostly think of when we think of 'old books'. However, as binding books was expensive, most people used paper bindings or simply didn't bind the books but kept them in their simple grey covers.
Because they are so frail, books with these magnificently coloured "cheap" bindings are today possibly even rarer and more sought after than their more extravagant cousins in leather.
(Marbled paper bindings, different periods, c. 1600-1830)

Katie Holmes Returns to Broadway in Theresa Rebeck's DEAD ACCOUNTS
Katie Holmes will star in Theresa Rebeck's new play, Dead Accounts, a five character comedy, directed by three-time Tony Award winner Jack O'Brien.
The play will open on Broadway this fall at the Music Box Theatre (239 West 45th Street) produced by Jeffrey Finn.
Jack's unexpected return throws his family into a frenzy, and his sister Lorna needs answers. Is he coming home or running away? Where is his wife everyone hates? And how did he get all that money? Theresa Rebeck's new comedy tackles the timely issues of corporate greed, small town values, and whether or not your family will always welcome you back…with no questions asked.
In Dead Accounts, Holmes will play the role of Lorna. She returns to Broadway after appearing in the acclaimed 2008 production of All My Sons.
Additional casting for the four additional roles, designers, production dates, and ticket information will be announced shortly.

1. Background
Once a unit of the university no longer exists, is re-branded, merged or split and wants to use a different email domain, the old email domain begins a process of being wound down and mail sent to it will eventually fail to be delivered.
1.1. Why old domains need to be removed
Some people have argued that the old addresses should be allowed to run indefinteley. Academic staff who have used the same address for many years, have it published in numerous publications and registered with world wide contacts, can feel particularly disadvantaged. However, there are several reasons why we should do this.
- Reputation. It does not look go for the university, if someone is using an address e.g. @radiology.ox.ac.uk when the university no longer has a dept of Radiology. Others could question how good the university was at managing any of its other data.
- There are overheads in maintaining a email domain. By 'law', each domain must have a working postmaster@domain email address - this needs to be checked periodically.
- There can be confusion/complexity when people return to the dept after a gap and only have the new address.
- The MX domain registration has to be maintained and periodically audited. ie adhoc requests from postmaster of the form Is this domain still used?
In the past, when a domain mail address change was an rare event, the addresses were wound down over 2 years. However, because of the ongoing administrative overhead of winding down domains, 12 months is the ideal upper limit. To put this into context, if an individual moves dept or changes their name, their old email address will work for only 2 months. There is lot to be said for make limiting the old address to 2 months once the new address has become the default, even for domain wind downs.

American Journal of Public Health June 2005 Highlights
The articles highlighted below appear in the June issue of the American Journal of Public Health, the Journal of the American Public Health Association.
Comprehensive tobacco control efforts, including raising cigarette taxes, making workplaces smoke free and offering free and readily accessible nicotine patches, have a widespread impact on lowering smoking rates.
According to a study of the impact of tobacco control measures in New York City, smoking prevalence among adult residents dropped by 11 percent from 2002-2003 after the city implemented a sweeping tobacco control strategy. That strategy includes increased cigarette excise taxes; legal action that made virtually all workplaces, including bars and restaurants, smoke free; increased cessation services, including a large-scale nicotine patch program; education; and evaluation. The resulting decrease meant 140,000 fewer people smoked in the year following the tobacco control implementation.
In California, where a tobacco-tax increase already helped the state's smoking rate drop a decade earlier, an additional 50-cent-per-pack state cigarette tax that went into effect in 1999 and a 45-cent-per-pack increase stemming from the Master Settlement Agreement of 1998 helped reduce cigarette consumption in the state by 2.4 packs per capita per quarter.
[From: " Adult Tobacco Use Levels After Intensive Tobacco Control Measures: New York City, 2002-2003." Contact: Thomas R. Frieden, MD, MPH, New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, New York, N.Y., email@example.com. Also from: "A Major State Tobacco Tax Increase, the Master Settlement Agreement, and Cigarette Consumption: The California Experience." Contact: Hai-Yen Sung, PhD, Institute for Health and Aging, University of California at San Francisco, firstname.lastname@example.com.]
Suicide is a major public health problem among those age 65 and older, and a recent study found suicidal people in that age group who live in cities are more likely than their younger counterparts to choose falling from height as their suicide method and to choose to jump from their own homes or apartment buildings.
Nationally, firearms are the most common method of suicide for those age 65 and older, according to earlier studies, yet factors that influence older people's suicide methods are not well understood. In this study, researchers compared suicide methods of elderly and younger adults in New York City. They found the elderly suicide victims were more likely to have fallen to their deaths from high places than younger adults. In the study of all New York suicides from 1990 through 1998, falls from heights were the most common method used by those age 65 and older, while firearms were most commonly used by those age 15-34. Among people age 65 and older who committed suicide, they were significantly more likely than younger people who committed suicide to have fallen from their homes (86.3 percent vs. 69.4 percent).
The study's authors said their results highlight "the need for knowledge about depression among urban elderly residents, a condition that is often untreated or treated inadequately."
[From: " Preference for Fall From Height as a Method of Suicide by Elderly Residents of New York City." Contact: Robert C. Abrams, MD, Department of Psychiatry, New York Presbyterian Hospital, New York, N.Y., email@example.com.]
The only way to effectively turn teens away from smoking cigars is to raise prices, and one way to do that would be taxing cigars at the same rate as cigarettes.
Almost 14 percent of the males and 6 percent of the females in grades 6-12 surveyed as part of the National Youth Tobacco Survey said they smoked cigars, and most of them lived in states with clean indoor air laws as well as laws banning youth access to tobacco. Those youth living in states with so-called "purchase laws" that penalize youth and merchants were actually more likely to smoke cigars than those living in other states.
Cigars currently are taxed at a lower rate than cigarettes, "even though they produce similar, devastating health effects," the study's authors wrote. They estimated a 5 percent reduction in the prevalence of youth cigar smoking if state and federal lawmakers "simply taxed cigarettes at the same rate as cigarettes."

While depression seems much more common among whites than blacks or Mexican Americans, the opposite is true when it comes to a milder mood disorder known as dysthemia.
Researchers interviewed more than 8,000 people age 15-40 and found depression was much more prevalent among whites than blacks or Mexican Americans, and poverty was a contributing factor for depression only among whites. Yet for dysthemic disorder, which is characterized by long-lasting mild depression and such symptoms as insomnia, tearfulness and pessimism, the prevalence was much higher among blacks and Mexican Americans than whites. Lack of education was a significant risk factor for dysthemic disorder, which prevents a person from fully enjoying life.
The findings, which were based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III conducted from 1988 to 1994, show the importance of defining types of depression when addressing racial and ethnic disparities of the mental health problem. The study's authors said more research into the issue is needed to shed light on possible contributing factors such as unemployment, rural residence and related disorders, including substance abuse and anxiety.

Smokers who bought low-taxed cigarettes from American Indian reservations were half as likely to try to quit and had less success when they did attempt to kick the habit compared to smokers who bought full-price cigarettes.
A random telephone survey of 1,548 adults, including 908 smokers, in two New York counties between October 2002 and 2003 found the percentage of smokers who tried to quit was far lower if those smokers frequented American Indian reservations for their cigarettes. And while those smokers who bought cigarettes on reservations were half as likely to try to quit, they also had lower smoking cessation rates than those who bought full-price cigarettes.
Cigarettes are a revenue source on these reservations, yet the study's authors said low-price cigarettes are a dangerous incentive that keeps many smokers going back for more.

Moderated by Tom Sabulis
The MARTA privatization debate continues today. The president of the local union criticizes management and says that going private means sending public dollars overseas and contributing to sweatshop conditions. But a think-tank executive believes that competition will add jobs, fix absenteeism, cut losses and, ultimately, save metro Atlanta's transit agency.
Commenting is open below Benita Dodd's column.
By Curtis Howard
Some lucky billionaire is about to get an early Christmas present if the board of directors of MARTA follows through on proposed plans to privatize a public transit system that belongs to the taxpayers.
The billionaire might be from the French-based Veolia Transportation or the Scotland-based First Transit, so we know one thing for sure: The fares we pay will not be returned to help the economy of Atlanta. They will be shipped overseas while transit users get less service — especially night and weekend service — and see corners cut on safety.
Welcome to the mismanaged policies of the MARTA board: When all else fails because of mismanagement of the system, blame it on the workers who have already given $90 million in concessions.
Throw around canards like abuse of overtime and absenteeism (caused by the intransigence of management), then dismantle our system, the jewel of the South, so foreign companies can bleed it for every last dime in the fare box, then walk away.
According to Page 33 of the KPMG audit, MARTA's labor costs, wages and paid time off as a percentage of total personnel costs are 3.5 percent lower than transit peers around the country.
Also, in 2011, MARTA contributed $18.8 million to its managers' pensions.
Here are some other reasons to oppose privatization:
Service cuts are always part of the agenda. Need a weekend or a late-night bus? Call a friend or taxi.
Privatization means sweatshops on wheels — lower wages, slashed health benefits, replacing full-timers with part-timers, and erratic service.
Political cronyism. Contracts go to firms that make hefty political contributions. In Phoenix, Veolia hired the mayor's girlfriend.
The inevitable transit layoffs will hurt the economy and adversely affect you as a user of the system as well as your neighbor. The laid-off MARTA employee is your pastor, the coach of your daughter's soccer team, the person who reads to the sick and the elderly, and all our members who are an integral part of our vast transit-union volunteer community.
Private companies have no roots; like transit vagabonds, if their profits aren't high enough, they move to the next city.
Privatization is a misuse of public property.
Privatization already has been tried with MARTA and failed.
Any questions?
The idea that public transit, which is the lifeblood of our economy, should be turned over to a profit-making company is ludicrous.
How much of a "profit" do our schools make? Or our police and fire departments? Our sanitation department?
The only reason a foreign company would be interested in the "well-being" of Atlanta residents is to skim profits.
Reliable mass transit and well-paying jobs are basic civil rights and should not be given away to foreign companies.
Curtis Howard is president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 732.
By Benita Dodd
The failure of MARTA, the backbone of Atlanta's public transportation, will devastate the region's workers and mobility. KPMG's recent audit warns that on its current course, the transit authority is unsustainable: MARTA must cut $25 million a year. Managed competition, including privatization and outsourcing, is critical.
There are two reasons to embrace this approach. First, Harvard professor Stephen Goldsmith, as mayor of Indianapolis, identified government's role in his "Yellow Pages" test: "If the phone book lists three companies that provide a certain service, the city probably should not be in that business." The same should apply to MARTA: Examine whether services can be provided more efficiently by private companies.
Second, managed competition allows an agency's existing department to place its bid for a contract — say, MARTA's janitorial contract — alongside private vendors' bids. The department must demonstrate that it could do the job as well as or better than a private company. Clearly, there is a need to incentivize MARTA's workers and departments to greater efficiency. Consider that much of MARTA's problem is union-related:
Salaries and benefits for its 4,500 employees comprise 77 percent of MARTA's operating budget; 64 percent of employees are unionized. Five years into a pay freeze, janitorial workers (unionized) earn 46 percent more than the national private average.
Apparently the higher pay is just sickening: Annually, the high absenteeism rate forces MARTA to devote $11 million to backup staff. Workers' comp claims are $5.5 million higher than the national public- and private-sector average, and health-care claim costs are $8.9 million higher than the national average.
Pension costs are $22 million higher.
All this in a shop where union workers pay "significantly less for medical coverage and pension costs than the national average including both public and private sectors," KPMG notes.
KPMG also proposes privatizing payroll and human resources. Surely there's more. Privatizing new capacity and routes is an easy option. Paratransit service is a great chance to create private-sector jobs and reduce MARTA's costs.
Why the private sector? Private companies and vendors operate in an environment where prices, profits and losses, and customers matter. They understand success involves more than just a captive audience; they must provide a service that invites repeat business and value for money.
Naysayers will cite failures of Atlanta's water system privatization and MARTA's previous attempt to privatize paratransit. Both disasters are a strong reminder that government should ensure that a contract defines the expectations of each party. Agency oversight, not agency micromanagement, is required.
Managed competition will turn MARTA's focus to providing transportation instead of preserving union jobs. The livelihoods of thousands of low-income commuters — and Atlanta's transportation future — depend on it.
Benita Dodd is Vice President of the Georgia Public Policy Foundation.

I drive by one of the MARTA service facilities in the early morning as drivers arrive for work and buses leave the facility. Two immediate issues that should be addressed are:
1) Why are buses sent out with burned out headlights? If even these simple issues aren't addressed before the buses go out, makes you wonder how well the fleet is checked before going out for service.
2) Standards need to be higher for drivers. I see drivers in their own cars on the way to work that can't keep their car on their side of the road. And Marta puts people who can't drive their own car behind the wheel of a bus?
Small issues, but certain indications that the whole organization from top (especially the top) to the bottom needs a fresh look.

Mangler is dead on, but I doubt the majority living OTP using those roads and highways will see it that way. The current road building that induces nothing but sprawl is an unsustainable ponzi scheme. Unfortunately, the majority of metro Atlanta (and the majority of other big cities) have bought in to it blindly.
October 30th, 2012

When the idea of privatizing roads and highways is mentioned, you all choke vehemently on the idea that something your tax dollars paid for is going to be run for a profit by some company somewhere and you'll have to pay a toll for the privilege to use that thing you already paid for. Well isn't this the same thing? A public service created with public dollars and you seem to be OK with just letting some company somewhere come in and run it?(likely because you never actually use it) How about all highways, 75, 85, 285, 400, et al have toll booths pop up and managed for profit. Bet MARTA ridership will suddenly spike.
Infrastructure does not make money, it creates money by allowing people, goods, and services to move about on it and in that way, the freedom of movement, it benefits society.
If highways and mass transit systems MADE PROFIT, then no city or government anywhere would ever have had to build one, because companies would be jumping all over the chance to do it themselves. But they aren't, are they? But they'll sure as hell line up to run the system once the public has paid to build it. Ever wonder why that is?
Similar to the charter schools – no company will build one on their own, but will line up when tax dollars are used to build and operate them.

Here is a radical thought — look at some successful systems and model MARTA after those . . .
Well, scootdog, that would have MARTA "officials" taking junkets to London and Amsterdam and Lisbon to return with…What? If anything should be privatized, it should be the planning and R&D, and both should take place on a regional level. That seems unlikely considering the entrenched interests involved.

One should consider that MARTA was created in a landscape long shaped by the automobile and the road building industries (including GDOT). That's why so many people say "it doesn't go anywhere." One shouldn't ignore the history of white flight and black governance that has also shaped MARTA, as well as all governance in Atlanta, Dekalb, and Fulton. Let's face it, MARTA was/is a transportation system AND a make-work project for a lot of people traditionally undeserved in terms of job opportunities. Atlanta, Dekalb, Fulton, all are run by and for (mostly) black people. This makes sense when you consider who "ran" things before the Civil Rights Act had enough time to allow black majorities to control elections. That said, such race-based governance leads to a sense of entitlement, especially among the managers in the upper levels. That's why Georgia is black-run in the Atlanta MSA and Bubba-run in other parts of the state. It's the legacy of slavery and white Southern "tradition."
October 30th, 2012

The issue with MARTA as a transit system is not a issue of use as much as it is a issue of governance. The Board has not done a good job of promoting the use of the system and instead is more inclined to complain about the capital that its not receiving as to touting the reasons why it should be used.
Privatization is not the answer though. The people that will own the system, are not familiar with how this system operates and the environmental factors that work for the region and against the system. However, I do believe that an overhaul of management and a new vision from different directors and upper management would change the way that the system is viewed and the way that MARTA views its future.
October 30th, 2012

I still do not understand why buses are included in "rapid transit" system. If we adopted the DC model and charged for distance traveled vs. flat rate, i believe revenues would rise. North springs to the Airport for $2.75 is a bargain.

Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has ushered in 2014 by revealing new details about the band's forthcoming plans to release expanded and remastered versions of its albums. In a message posted Tuesday on his official website that's since been removed, Page announced that the only the reissues of the group's first three albums -- the band's self-titled debut, Led Zeppelin II and Led Zeppelin III -- "will be released this year."
In an interview this past November with the U.K.'s Team Rock Radio , Jimmy seemed to imply that revamped versions of all of Led Zeppelin's studio albums would arrive during 2014, but that no longer appears to be the case. Page also reported in his New Year's message that he's "been working on some of my own material from the archives that will be unleashed in 2014."
Meanwhile, a new Led Zeppelin reunion continues to be an unlikely proposition. Singer Robert Plant apparently is very content with his current group Sensational Space Shifters , and is nearing completion of his first album with the band.
In a new interview with U.K. magazine Uncut , Plant says that touring with Sensational Space Shifters is "so much better…than to bathe in the tepid bathtub of old hits." He adds that the group has recorded nine new tracks already.

UNDATED, WI (WTAQ) - A Marquette University graduate who was kidnapped in Syria last Thanksgiving turns 40 on Friday.
James Foley has been missing ever since he was abducted by two unidentified gunmen. It happened when his vehicle was stopped as he was driving toward Syria's border with Turkey.
Foley was a freelance reporter at the time for the Global Post, an online news outlet based in Boston.
His mother says there will be a worldwide vigil for Foley at five o'clock today.
Foley graduated from Marquette's Milwaukee campus in 1996 with degrees in history and Spanish.
He and three other journalists had been held in Libya for 45 days in 2011, while they were reporting for the Global Post on Libya's civil war.
He has also done reporting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

|Harry C. Veryser.
Mainstream economics has no adequate answers for these pressing questions. To understand how we got here, and how we can ensure prosperity, we must turn to an alternative to the dominant approach: the Austrian School of economics. Veiyser tells the fascinating (but frightening) story of how our modern economic condition developed. The most recent recession, far from being an isolated incident, was part of a larger cycle that has been the scourge of the West for a century--a cycle rooted in government manipulation of markets and currency. The lesson is clear: the devastation of the recent economic crisis--and of stagflation in the 1970s, and of the Great Depression in the 1930s--could have been avoided. It didn't have to be this way. Economics is not a mysterious science, Veryser shows. As the Austrian School teaches, it is simply the study of human action. Mainstream economics has failed because it has forgotten this fundamental truth. Economists have tried to put economics on a par with hard sciences like physics, reducing everything to numbers. But their complex mathematical models and cherished theories have only contributed to economic collapse. As the debate rages over the role of government in the economy, Harry Veryser presents the proper alternative to government interventionist approaches that have proved so ineffective. Too long unappreciated, the Austrian School of economics reveals the crucial conditions for a successful economy and points the way to a free, prosperous, and humane society--Book Jacket.

It looks like none other than Ryan Gosling has been signed up to star in the long discussed "Logan's Run" remake. Which is exciting because never in my life did I think I would hear my wife utter the words "Honey, I really want to see Logan's Run".
If you're going to buy one toy this year that doesn't require a black bag when walking out of the store then make it the new "The Walking Dead" toys coming from the good people at McFarlane Toys. Two series will be released from the comic book/TV show and the first set will hit shelves this September.
The second clip for "The Bleeding", which stars Kat Von D, DMX and 37 other people you don't think should be acting has hit the net and it is chock full of everything except bleeding. Well alright it's missing a lot of things but really there's not way to have EVERYTHING in one clip is there? Whales, a clown and the Sears Tower... physically impossible to have in the same shot. Think about it.
It looks like Simon West will direct the upcoming remake of "Red Sonja" and right now Amber Heard is the front runner to star. You'll remember West as the director of "Con-Air" and you'll see Heard getting deflowered by Nic Cage in "Drive Angry". I'm not saying if this is a good or bad thing.
You work hard to become Mayor, you spend years fighting the good fight and when it's your time to have a building named after you you get shot down just because you're name is easily mocked. Life isn't easy if your name is Harry Baals my friends.
I understand the idea of yin and yang but I'm pretty sure just because you help a women get her car out of a snow bank you can't then rape her and call it even. I'm not from Missouri though so I don't know how things work there.
This isn't a trailer for the "Mother's Day" remake but it is some sort of international sales promo that's found it's way online. Truth be told I've read the synopsis and watched the video and I'm still not 100% sure what the movie is about but it still looks pretty dandy. I assume it takes place on mothers day, right? Someone? I'm so confused and frightened.
"Gut" is a indie movie about two guys who end up watching some sort of awful movie based on one of the guy's suggestions and things get weird. They don't tell you what the movie is but my guess is it's some sort of snuff, autopsy or French film. Feel free to make your own guesses.
James Franco is set to direct and star in a new film about the real life slasher Richard Ramirez, better know as "The Night Stalker". Here's the fun part, Soundgarden front man Chris Cornell is also set to produce the film. Just tossing this out there, but what about getting that guy from Crazytown to compose the score?
If you had to put together the greatest cast of all time who would you pick? Don't bother thinking about it because the makers of "The Bleeding" have already done it. The answer? Vinnie Jones, Michael Matthias, Michael Madsen, DMX, Armand Assante and Kat Von D. Take a few minutes to compose yourself before checking out the clip because you might vomit from excitement.
This is why the Druids invented cell phones with video cameras. The Boston Blazer's which are some sort of local team that play some sport are in trouble after their halftime show features three women dressed in next to nothing gave their mascot lap dances. The only disappointing part? The team apologized for the good time after the show. Boo Boston!
When a mother and daughter take out time to do things together it's a wonderful thing. That is of course unless that mother and daughter are torturing animals and keeping the corpses in their house like this duo on Long Island. Just to confirm that isn't a wonderful thing at all, unless you're some kind of sicko, then it's probably right up your alley.
For those of you that think vampires have grown a bit too soft and emo these days, you might be excited to hear that Vinnie Jones has signed on to star in "The Bleeding". Vinnie Jones; vampire hunter? Sounds good to me.
Jesse Eisenberg, star of "Zombieland" is bringing us more horror, this time in a movie called "Camp Hope". No zombies this time around, instead we watch as Jesse faces inherent evil as it invades a children's spiritual retreat! "This one time... at Jesus camp..."
Screenwriter Akiva Golddman, responsible for such films as "I Am Legend" and "Batman and Robin" bring news of a new version of "Swamp Thing" is in development. Goldsmsn explains that they hope to keep the character closer to Alan Moore's comic book creature as opposed to the incarnations we've had so far.
Those of you that were fearing the inevitable announcement of "Scary Movie 5" can put those fears to rest. Instead, you can dredge up a whole new host of fears as the Weinsteins opt to go with a "Scary Movie" reboot. "Scary Movie 1: Again". Nothing snarky here, I'm just going to let that one soak in a bit.
Swiss authorities stop a man who gives a whole new meaning to the term 'reckless driving'
Not accustomed to the Indian Summer and the unseasonably warm temps, a 125 lb. Black Bear saunters into a Minnesota grocery story and sits in the beer cooler for an hour. The bear was eventually tranquilized and is doing fine. Yes, I'm okay. No, I haven't been to Minnesota anytime in the past few days.

The City of South Pittsburg is anxiously waiting to receive state funding to help homeowners with repairs after last month's flood. The Tennessee Housing Development Agency has pledged a $300,000 grant. But some are asking, what is taking so long?There is still plenty of damage in South Pittsburg from last month's floods, as folks are still cleaning up. With the grant money in limbo, many say all they can do is just sit and wait.Even though it has been more than a month, the devastation left by raging flood waters is still fresh on the minds of those in South Pittsburg."The water was rushing in pretty bad. I saw those two buildings behind that house over there were washed up in this driveway," says resident Jakobi Reynolds.Reynolds says the city immediately jumped into action."The community came together. People from all around. The Red Cross came down here and helped us out and brought water, stuff like that, clean up material. Pretty much everyone from surrounding areas helped out," he says.The Tennessee Housing Development Agency announced it would provide a $300,000 grant, to help homeowners with repair costs as long as the city puts up a match of $150,000."There will be probably some household income restrictions," says South Pittsburg Mayor Jane Dawkins.Mayor Dawkins says the THDA has already hinted that in-kind labor will go toward the match, it is just not clear how much."We understand some of that will help us on that $150,000 match but we do not know specifically what those guidelines are," says Dawkins.The Executive Director of THDA, Ralph Perrey, tells Channel 3, "We are confident that South Pittsburg has attracted sufficient assistance from other sources to meet the matching funds requirement for THDA's grant. We are completing our review but anticipate no difficulty in awarding funds to the town and doing so very soon.""I think $300,000 dollars would help out the community a lot," says Reynolds.City officials say they are considering all possibilities, when it comes to getting more grant money. Mayor Dawkins says the flood also has the city evaluating its drainage system and what, if any, repairs can be made to improve it.

The Australian Services Rugby Union is celebrating its 50th anniversary in style today at a match in Sydney between the ASRU Senior Men's Warriors and an Australian Barbarians side.
The ASRU Warriors
The Australian Services Rugby Union is celebrating its 50th anniversary in style today at a match in Sydney between the ASRU Senior Men's Warriors and an Australian Barbarians side.
The match is part of the 2013 ASRU Men's Warriors Tour that kicked off on 19 October this year. The 33-man touring party, which is made up of members of the Royal Australian Navy, the Australian Army, and the Royal Australian Air Force, has since travelled to Melbourne and Canberra to play Melbourne Mana and an ACT Brumbies Provincial XV.
The tour is supported by Mates4Mates, a non-profit organisation that provides welfare and treatment programs for current and ex-serving men and women of the Australian Defence Force.
Australian Services Rugby Union was formed in 1963 and is the vehicle for Australian Defence Force Rugby players to gain National Recognition.
ASRU matches have seen many big moments in its history including the 1968 clash against the touring All Blacks, clean sweeping the English Services teams back in 1994, and progressing through to the final of the International Defence Rugby Competition.
ASRU has produced some very memorable names including former Wallabies Assistant coach Jim Williams, retired General Peter Cosgrove and ex-Wallaby Justin Harrison who have all represented the Warriors.
ASRU also fields a women's senior team, with five ASRU female players recently named in the Wallaroos training squad for the Women's Rugby World Cup in 2014.
ASRU intends to publish a 50 Years of History book later this year and anyone with historical records, information, or photographs relating to Rugby in the Australian Services is encouraged to contact Adam Boyd from the ASRU: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Grim Guzzler
The Grim Guzzler is located deep inside Blackrock Depths. It is part of Shadowforge City, and lies just beyond the Manufactory and before the Chamber of Enchantment.
The tavern is a large two-level area filled with mostly inebriated patrons. These patrons should remain neutral to adventurers unless they are aggravated.
There are also several named NPCs in the Grim Guzzler:
- Mistress Nagmara is a succubus barmaid who secretly loves Private Rocknot.
- Plugger Spazzring at the bar sells a few interesting items, including rare recipes.
- Phalanx the golem broods in a corner. He acts as a bouncer if the crowd gets too rowdy. There seems to be another golem bouncer named Panzer,[1] which doesn't appear in-game.
- Ribbly Screwspigot has been known to frequent this place.
- Hurley Blackbreath might also be found if his illicit Thunderbrew Lager kegs are disturbed.
- Lokhtos Darkbargainer of the Thorium Brotherhood offers turn-in quests to increase reputation, as well as the sale of special high-level patterns earned from that reputation.
- Private Rocknot is a raging drunk who might just be the key to passing into the next area of Blackrock Depths.
NPCs added after Patch 2.4.3:
- Griz Gutshank is a S4 arena vendor
- Ognip Blastbolt and Mizli Crankwheel are working for Roitau and Michael Schweitzer and they will tell you that L90ETC will come and play every night at 20:00 server time
- L90ETC also comes every night at 8 and play their song Power of the Horde
- A Dark Iron Brewer is available near Plugger Spazzring. Speak to him to access his new concoction: [Dire Brew]
- Coren Direbrew is a Dark Iron dwarf present only during Brewfest holiday.
From Patch 2.4.3 to Patch 3.3.3, the Brewfest Spy was a dwarf present only during Brewfest holiday.
The Rear Door
At the rear of the upper level of the bar there is a door that leads to other parts of the Blackrock Depths. Plugger Spazzring holds the [Grim Guzzler Key] which opens this door. Unfortunately, if you kill Plugger to get the key, it will aggro the bar patrons and if you steal the key (pickpocketing), Plugger will notice, stop serving drinks and aggro the bar patrons also.
Another way to get wiped by all those mobs is stealing an ale or some food. This will cause Plugger Spazzring to discover you and turn the patrons on the room hostile to you.
However there are at least two other ways to get this door open more or less safely, but the ability to unlock the last one is unavailable to newer players.
- Get Private Rocknot to blow the door open and kill Phalanx.
- Purchase 6 [Dark Iron Ale Mug]s from Plugger Spazzring (don't take them from nearby tables, this WILL aggro bar patrons).
- Speak to Private Rocknot directly across the room from Plugger.
- Give him 2 Mugs.
- Speak to Private Rocknot again and give him 2 more Mugs.
- Speak to Private Rocknot again and give him 2 more Mugs (that's 3 times, 6 mugs).
- He will say "Ah, hits the spot!" and then will start walking towards the kegs.
- Move to the closed door and be ready. Phalanx will turn aggro as soon as Rocknot knocks the tap off of the last keg in the line.
- The tap will fly towards the bar door, breaking it open. Run through the door, immediately turn left and go only halfway down the ramp. Phalanx will run to the broken door and turn in to a mob, claiming property damage.
- The rest of the bar will not aggro if you kill Phalanx on the ramp outside. If you try to kill him in the bar, you will aggro them.
- Go through the door.
- WARNING : Phalanx does knock back so be sure to be in a safe position not fall down.
- Killing some of the patrons brings additional "security" and they open, but block the door. Killing them gives access to the areas beyond the door.
Pre-patch 4.0.3a:
- There was a quest before Patch 4.0.3a to have Mistress Nagmara open the door:
- Completing the [54D] The Love Potion quest from Mistress Nagmara. This was an extensive collection quest requiring items that did not exist inside the instance.
- Speak to Mistress Nagmara and she will then open the door to meet with Private Rocknot in private.
- Go through the door.
- Once you finished the quest offered by Mistress Nagmara, you can speak with her anytime you want and she will call Private Rocknot over, open the door and exit with Rocknot, periodically doing /kiss emotes underneath the ramp leading out of the bar. Many older characters on older realms have likely finished this quest, and if they happen to own [Direbrew's Remote], they can port into the bar and open the door for you.

Much of the material that washes up on the beaches of southern England is natural, but certainly not all of it. © River Ocean Foundation.
Matt Gaw strapped on his flippers and headed for the Booth Museum to discover the secrets of the Sussex shoreline.
Dr Gerald Legg of Brighton's Booth Museum of Natural History is in a state of some excitement. A porpoise has been stranded on Hove beach and there's a chance it could be coming to his museum.
Being washed up on a wind-swept, shingle beach may be a sad full stop for the porpoise, but it's just the start of the story being told at the Booth Museum until March 19 2006.
Strandline – Secrets of the Sea, put together by Brighton-based charitable River Ocean Foundation and the Booth, investigates natural objects found on Sussex beaches, together with some less salubrious, man-made items.
As Dr Legg explains, the exhibition is about "understanding the beach as an ecosystem, not just as a place of entertainment."
A recreated beach scene shows examples of the sort of stuff that washes up on our shores. © River Ocean Foundation.
The River Ocean Foundation, which has worked on similar projects with the Booth Museum before, is dedicated to increasing awareness of and encouraging care for our aquatic environment through education.
A large cross-section of the shoreline demonstrates to visitors how flotsam and jetsam are deposited by every tide.
A collection of corroded, man-made objects are labelled with the number of years they take to decompose: a sad-looking flip-flop takes 50 years while a disposable nappy could navigate the seven seas for 500 years.
It is immediately apparent that the inanimate artefacts – whether a bottle, bin-bag, whale or winkle – all have hidden depths. A mass of stories lurks among the seaweed; tales of predators, parasites, pollution and even folklore and history.
A Harvest Moon above the sea. © River Ocean Foundation.
Medieval naturalists saw mythical creatures in dog-fish eggs, still called "mermaid's purses" today, and gigantic narwhal horns were taken as tangible proof of unicorns. Dr Legg reticently admits that a fish hatchery would have been a perfect addition to the exhibition, but logistically impossible.
One of the more unusual displays features a 'genuine' mermaid. The mermaid or more accurately, merman (I'm reliably informed that a mermaid has more than two nipples) is a grisly testament to Victorian collectors who brought the part-fish, part-monkey specimen back from South East Asia.
There is something of the macabre about the Booth museum. The giant bones of a large fin whale, who shared the same fate as the Hove porpoise, and pots of pickled squid (some going back to Challenger's Victorian voyage) fascinate children and clearly add to the exhibition's educational pull.
As one mother commented: "The kids love anything that's remotely gory."
The message does seem to be hitting home. On the Booth message board, written in a child's hand is the simple demand: "Educate the naughty people." Consider yourself told.
