Artist BioLittle Big Town is an American country music vocal group. Founded in 1998, the group has comprised the same four members since its inception: Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook, and Phillip Sweet. The quartet's musical style relies heavily on four-part vocal harmonies, with all four members alternating as lead singers, a formula similar to The Mamas and the Papas and Peter, Paul and Mary.[1] Westbrook and Sweet also play rhythm guitar.76e78b58-f301-4975-8058-7f84d8360738

Life Tips with Stanton are guaranteed to help you lead a more productive and fulfilling life. Be sure to check back every Wednesday for another Life Tip and email email@example.com if you have an idea for a Life Tip.
I'll just say what we're all thinking: everyone hates their job. I mean we're always dealing with lunatics on the phone, or being accused of lying, or having to move our desk every three weeks, our paychecks are routinely short, we don't get health insurance, or to go home when there is a possible gas leak in the building… Oh, wait, that's just my job? Cool.
If there is anything that I've learned over the last year of employment, it's that there are two types of people in the world: those eligible for unemployment and those suckers who either quit or get fired. I'm here to teach you all how to transition from being a contributing member of America's workforce into a suck on America's entitlement programs.
When the time comes that you realize your job is the worst, and that you are ready to tackle a new legitimate profession, such as blogging, there are several steps you must take in order to make yourself expendable. You see, your ultimate goal here is to do your job just well enough that no one wants to fire you, but that when push comes to shove, your less than stellar performance puts you on the chopping block when it comes time for your employers to axe all of those pesky excess drones, er, employees.
Do Exactly What You're Told
By doing what you're told, you ensure that you aren't providing grounds for termination, but not going above and beyond the call of duty places you squarely in the lay-off zone. Never give your employer a reason to think that they can't do without you. If you're an achievement-oriented, drug-free, adult virgin, this may come as a challenge to you, but you need to trust me. Under-achieving now all you the opportunity to over-achieve on your own time while collecting an unemployment check every week.
Develop An Annoying Habit
Your employers can't really fire you for an annoying habit such as sharpening three boxes of pencils every Wednesday, or a nervous tick, but a well played annoying habit will put you at the top of the list to get pink slipped. Don't worry, that isn't as sexual as it sounds. If things are truly grim, and you're not sure how long you can last in your current position (still not sexual), you could go for a sudden onset of tourette syndrome. I must warn you that this is an especially risky gambit, and should only be attempted by seasoned swindlers and creative cursers. That was alliteration, in case you missed it.
Hint at Your Raging Alcoholism
It's fun to joke about alcoholism. Joke a little too much, and people start to question where the sarcasm stops and the truth starts. You can really play this to your advantage as no one is truly comfortable with employing a raging alcoholic, but as long as it doesn't directly affect your work performance, your employer cannot fire you for hitting the bottle on your own time. A brilliant move made by my co-worker was to loudly call her husband one afternoon, and ask her husband to pick up a few bottles of wine from the liquor store; she made sure to instruct him to go to a specific liquor store, because that is where she has the credit line. That's right, she's financing her drinking problem.
I've watched countless employees get laid off by simply implementing one or more of the above suggestions. It's a fail proof plan. Sometimes it takes longer than you would expect to get laid off, so be patient. I will warn you: if you started your employment as an exemplary employee by going far above and beyond the call of duty, and have already previously established yourself as indispensable, your employers may have a hard time of seeing you in any other light- no matter how hard you try. If you find yourself in this situation, the best advice I have for you is: start complaining about how your boss is always macking on you, and see how fast you get let go.
What are some other ways we could use to speed up the lay-off process? Write a blog entry about it? Cool. Have you ever been laid off? How did that go? Share your thoughts, opinions, hopes, and fears below.

this week has been one of the toughest weeks since i don't know when.
it's been really, really hard…emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually.
so many times i've wanted to just give up on everything,
but God…He is so loving, so patient, so constant.
despite my lack of faith, my weaknesses, my flaws…He calls me all together beautiful. He reminds me of His love for me…He delights in me. He loves me even during my weakest, darkest times. praise the Lord that through all of this, i am able to see more of God's love for me.
this song spoke to me a lot this week:
"i'm not letting go even when you come undone. i love you more than the sun and the stars that i taught how to shine. you are mine and you shine for me too."
i need to stop looking at the waves and fix my eyes on Jesus.
"i can do all things through Him who strengthens me." -philippians 4:13
God is my refuge and strength.

Drain them and plunge them into cold water to chill. Drain again and toss with the arugula. Serve with the pork.
Tip: To add flavor to the green beans and arugula, toss them with butter and a squeeze of lemon. For 1/2 pound of green beans, use 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.

Well, so much for relief that the election is over. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) is showing a 300-point loss in late morning trading, touching its lowest intraday level since Aug. 3. Ouch. The blue-chip stock measure is currently down by 307 points, or 2.3%.
In fact, the Dow could be heading for its biggest decline since November 9, 2011, according to the WSJ Market Data Group. The index finished that session at 11780.94, down 389.24 points.
Bonds are in high demand and a classic "risk off" session is underway. Investors are dumping the financial and energy sectors with the most fervor. There's a special ire for Romney-less coal stocks this morning, which is ushering the Market Vectors Coal ETF (KOL) to a 5% loss. The defense and aerospace industries are also taking the election hard. The iShares DJ U.S. Aerospace & Defense Index Fund (ITA) and the PowerShares Aerospace & Defense Portfolio (PPA) have slumped by more than three percent.
As one trader reminds us, the market also sold off hard when President Obama was first elected. Granted, it was an entirely different environment back in 2008 — a crisis environment. But I find it pretty amusing nonetheless. President Obama has been a friend of the stock market — a pretty amazingly good friend if you start the clock in January 2009 and end it this week. His first term was a great time to buy stocks if you had some powder dry. No matter — the threat of the fiscal cliff is apparently enough to get investors genuinely worried.
There's also a tinge of worry about Europe in Wednesday's selloff, as the EU cut growth forecasts. To many traders, this suggests that the region's slowdown is finally reaching relatively stronger economies such as Germany's. The EU cut growth forecasts, saying the region's economy would shrink by 0.25% this year and grow 0.5% in 2013, with an even worse picture for the euro-zone, the WSJ's Matina Stevis reports. Add in murmurs of worry over a Greek austerity vote and you've got a contributor factor to today's selloff.
Besides bonds, all the usual inverse stuff is rising, to varying degrees. The Barclays iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX) is ahead by 6.3% and the ProShares Ultra VIX Short- Term Futures exchange-traded fund (UVXY) has risen 13% as of mid-Wednesday trading.
If you were waiting for sweeping changes to the Dow Jones Industrial Average this year, you've been disappointed. The big move by the blue-chip index this month was …. Replacing Kraft Foods (KFT) with UnitedHealth (UNH). (Read our full coverage of that change here.)
No harm to the $58 billion health-insurance stock, but Barron's has been looking for more. My colleague Andrew Bary has argued that the 116-year-old index risks irrelevance unless it can modernize. That means finding ways to include high-priced stocks like Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG), which "represent major shifts in the global business landscape." It means being open to others like Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA, BRKB), a company with an outsized importance in the U.S. economy. But the index's price-weighted methodology makes it tough to include those stocks.
Google just touched a fresh all-time high this morning, at $747. Apple trades at $690. As for Berkshire, let's not even go there. Apple would have an even bigger weighting in the Dow than the 20% or so it occupies in the Nasdaq 100 – substantially bigger actually, too big.
Well, the Dow's owners are listening. That much is perfectly clear judging by a Friday story by the FT's James Mackintosh, which quotes David Blitzer, chairman of the index committee for S&P DJ Indices:
"Not being able to deal with Apple, Google or for that matter Berkshire Hathaway is an issue," said David Blitzer, chairman of the index committee for S&P DJ Indices. "This is an issue that we're just starting to think through and debate."
And the index committee is looking to test just how wide and deep is the desire for change:
S&P expects to test investor appetite for changing the Dow at its next consultative meeting with major index users. Changes would be easy to make as there are only three rules for selecting members of the Dow: it cannot include transport companies or utilities and the editor of the Wall Street Journal must sit on its steering committee. Of the Dow's original members, only [General Electric (GE)] still remains.
The Dow's long history has been punctuated by structural issues, with companies remaining members long after they have become stock market relics and big new businesses often ignored for long periods. Mr Blitzer stressed, however, that there was no timeframe for making changes and the Dow's existing methodology could remain unchanged.
As exchange-traded funds and other investing vehicles have ballooned in number, the task of figuring out what works well and what doesn't has only gotten harder. Barrons.com's Focus on Funds looks under the hood of ETFs, mutual funds and hedge funds for overlooked values, actionable ideas and the latest pitfalls for fund investors.

Over the weekend, a bunch of 30-somethings intent on reliving our glory days took to a friend's basement to christen his new bar. We had ourselves a barwarming party, if you will. Don't judge–it has been a long winter; we deserved it.
Even when I was a
freshman in college legal 21-year-old, I couldn't hold my liquor. I would have a few drinks and giggle myself to sleep. Even so, there were undeniable contrasts between partying like College Crazies of 2000 vs. Tired Parents of 2013. For starters, no one was underage. In fact, some of the guys brought their dads. Seriously, there were grandfathers playing beer pong. They threw at the cups underhand and made a disgrace of the game, but they were so darn cute.
Some other indications that we can't hang like we used to…
1. The party started at 4:30 in the afternoon. Hilarious.
2. It didn't take me 3 hours to get ready (the most time consuming part of dressing was stuffing myself into Spanx) and I didn't pre-game. Unless you count Candyland as pre-gaming.
3. My husband wanted to bring chili. CHILI. If this had been 10 years ago, and he told the guys he was bringing a crockpot of beans, they would have banned him or at the very least reminded him of the strict College Criteria: if it can't get me drunk or laid, it's not welcome.
4. All of the girls remained fully clothed for the duration of the party.
5. We did do shots, but they consisted of specialty vodka and Godiva liquor, and were served in fresh, hollowed-out strawberries with a dollop of whipped cream on top. Pinkies up, bitches.
6. We had designated drivers.
7. Instead of taking sexy duck face pictures, we showed off pics of our kids.
8. In the first round of flip cup, I flipped the cup the wrong way. Barely anyone even noticed, and a riot didn't erupt despite the fact that my team won. Flip cup circa college times? Someone would've been bloodied.
9. I drunk dialed our babysitter.
10. I wanted to get pregnant after the party.
I was hurtin' the next day. I had to eat my weight in carbs and wear my sunglasses to regain my equilibrium, but it was worth it.
That said, the next time we receive an invitation to live it up à la college, I will suggest heading to a matinee or staying in to watch House Hunters on HGTV. Go big or go home, that's my motto.

SEBRING, Fla. (AP) — The Daytona Beach-based Halifax Media Group has sold the News-Sun of Sebring to the Charlotte County-based Sun Newspapers.
The News-Sun (http://goo.gl/Vu7ec7 ) reports that the sale was completed Tuesday. Details of the sale weren't disclosed.
Derek Dunn-Rankin founded Sun Newspapers in 1977 with the purchase of the Venice Gondolier.

The News-Sun will be the company's first tri-weekly newspaper.

Rose-Hulman Senior Julian Strickland scored 33 points on Saturday, but none bigger than the 3-pointer he nailed with less than a minute to play to lift the Engineers past Mount St. Joseph 65-60. Sophomore Jimmy Miller also scored in double figures with 11 points and the Engineer defense held the Lions without a field goal in the final 5 minute to look up the victory. Rose Hulman pushes their winning streak to nine games and improve to 12-3 and 7-1 and are now in sole possession of first place in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. The Engineers will now travel to Hanover on Wednesday to face Hanover.
The Rose Hulman Women Basketball squad got back on track thanks to a 64-48 victory over Mount St. Joseph in a Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference contest on Saturday.

Found February 01, 2013 on NFL Trade Rumors:
PLAYERS: Devin Hester, Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, Johnny Knox
TEAMS: Chicago Bears
TEAMS: Chicago Bears
Jeff Dickerson of ESPNChicago.com writes that "it seems like a long-shot" that Devin Hester will have much of any role in team's offense next season. Dickerson mentions that the Bears could keep Hester as their return man for another season given that he still has another year left on his deal, but adds that he"would probably benefit from a fresh start in a new NFL city." There's a chance that Chicago could look to add another receiver at some point during the offseason. The Bears already have Brandon Marshall locked up through 2014 and spent a second-round draft pick on Alshon Jeffery last year, but they could use some additional help in case of an injury. Dickerson mentions that it's "still unknown" whether or not Johnny Knox will ever play again, so it seems unlikely that he would be re-signed now that he's coming off of a serious injury to his spine. If Chicago is indeed interested in adding depth to their receiving corps, it would make sense to see them look to the draft or tar...

Certificate Of Deposit - CD
Definition of 'Certificate Of Deposit - CD'
A savings certificate entitling the bearer to receive interest. A CD bears a maturity date, a specified fixed interest rate and can be issued in any denomination. CDs are generally issued by commercial banks and are insured by the FDIC. The term of a CD generally ranges from one month to five years.
Investopedia explains 'Certificate Of Deposit - CD'
A certificate of deposit is a promissory note issued by a bank. It is a time deposit that restricts holders from withdrawing funds on demand. Although it is still possible to withdraw the money, this action will often incur a penalty.
For example, let's say that you purchase a $10,000 CD with an interest rate of 5% compounded annually and a term of one year. At year's end, the CD will have grown to $10,500 ($10,000 * 1.05).
CDs of less than $100,000 are called "small CDs"; CDs for more than $100,000 are called "large CDs" or "jumbo CDs". Almost all large CDs, as well as some small CDs, are negotiable.

On Thursday, May 16, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 45, a bill "to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and health care-related provisions in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010," by a vote of 229-195. The vote, similar to previous repeal votes, fell largely along party lines. All Republicans voted in support of repeal with two Democrats, Rep. Mike McIntyre (D-NC) and Rep. Jim Matheson (D-UT), joining in support. The legislation would repeal PPACA outright. It did not offer a replacement reform.
To effectuate repeal, H.R. 45 would have to be accepted for consideration by the U.S. Senate and pass the Senate. To date, Senate Democrat Leaders have expressed no interest in considering repeal legislation.
Review the bill.

"A. It forces women to take into account the sensibility of people who don't have firsthand information about what the circumstances are in that woman's life. It creates a duty and obligation for a woman to make her decision in a time frame acceptable to people other than herself. That time frame may or may not be realistic, and it fails to take into account the complexity of decision-making when it comes to abortion.
As people sit around, and theorize and debate about what should be a reasonable or common ground, the voices of the people who are most affected by this decision are lost. They aren't represented in these dialogues. Their specific realities don't count."
Go read this immediately.
Lazy media reports Komen Foundation decision as 'reversal.' It isn't.
Earlier today, the news broke that the Komen Foundation had issued an apology for its decision to stop funding cancer screen and prevention at Planned Parenthood. The apology was nothing more than an attempt to control the damage done to the Komen brand, but the traditional media nonetheless did the work for the foundation by reporting it as a reversal of the Komen Foundation's decision.
But it's not.
Greg Sargent reports:I just got off the phone with a Komen board member, and he confirmed that the announcement does not mean that Planned Parenthood is guaranteed future grants — a demand he said would be "unfair" to impose on Komen. He also said the job of the group's controversial director, Nancy Brinker, is safe, as far as the board is concerned.
Right. So in other words, the foundation's announcement isn't reversing anything at all.
Further:Pushed on whether this means the new announcement wasn't really a reversal, [Komen board member John] Raffelli pushed back, arguing that Komen, in response to all the criticism, had removed politics from the grant-making process. "Is it really unclear that we're changing the policy to address criticism?" he said.
Yes, it really is unclear. The Komen Foundation needs to state unequivocally that it will continue its long practice of working with Planned Parenthood; otherwise, this looks like nothing more than an attempt to try to change the narrative and the non-stop negative headlines about the foundation's politicizing of breast cancer prevention.
Oh, and one more thing:Asked if Brinker's job was safe, Rafelli said: "Yes." He added that the board "unequivocally" stood behind her.
That would be Nancy Brinker, founder and CEO of the foundation, who has spent the last 24 hours chastising critics for criticizing Komen.
So, traditional media, are you still going to keep doing the bidding of the Komen Foundation by pretending it has changed its position? Or are you going to report the truth?
If you want to support an organization that really does care about women's health, click to donate to Planned Parenthood.
Well, I am really impressed with Komen for one thing…it takes a finely tuned disaster to simultaneously piss of the pro-choicers and the anti-choicers simultaneously in the course of 24 hours.
That's the catch: they're only funding existing grants. Planned Parenthood can- at this point- apply for future grants.
Personally, I am not celebrating the fact that they "reversed" their decision. After all of the facts about the Komen Foundation have been brought to light (including that they are headed by GOP supporters, their Policy VP wants to de-fund Planned Parenthood, and they have various other shadypractices), I'm pretty repulsed that they would dare to jeopardize thousands of people's ability to access the healthcare that they promote and then scramble to kinda-sorta fix the mess when they realized they weren't going to get some kind of pat on the back. As much as I respect and admire Cecile Richards, I am not grateful for Komen's decision. They have proved that they are working under an anti-choice, pro-GOP, pro-profit agenda at the expense of people's health and this was nothing short of a media ploy.
I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on this. Reblog with a comment or send us an ask, wouldya?
Signal boosting.
See, the anti-choice side fights dirty. They don't care if they lie or harass or coerce people. They don't care if people die or get hurt. Not as long as their actions impede or stop legal abortion—whatever the cost. This is a zero sum game for them. They use tactics that are dirty and underhanded and there is no place for compromise in their dogma.
Because pro-choice is the compromise.
SGK has proven that, beyond a doubt. They are willing to watch people die in order to advance their anti-choice agenda. That should not be overlooked, and it should not be downplayed.
And it's to PP's detriment to let that go unacknowledged and unchallenged. We aren't in a fair fight here. This is a dirty barroom brawl and the other side fights way dirtier than we do. The least we should be able to expect is for those with the big microphones to call them out on it.
As Shelby Knox put it:
The Attack on Accidental Americans
The IRS is making a worldwide push to squeeze money from Americans living abroad and from anyone who holds dual citizenship, whether they know it or not. It doesn't matter if the "duals"want US status, have never set foot on US soil, or never conducted business with an American. It doesn't matter if those targeted owe a single cent to the IRS. Unlike almost every other nation in the world, the United States requires citizens living abroad to file tax forms on the money they do not owe as well as to report foreign bank accounts or holdings such as stocks or RSSPs. The possible penalty for not reporting is $10,000 per "disclosed asset" per year.
Why Obama's FATCA Law Is A Threat To Business Growth
Americans living overseas are one of the groups that will be severely penalized. Simply stated, foreign financial institutions are treating U.S. citizens like lepers because they don't want to deal with the IRS and be deputy enforcers of terrible American law. Here are comments from some of Americans living in other nations (all of whom wish to remain anonymous because they fear being targeted by a thuggish IRS).
- From an American with a spouse working in Germany – "…when he went to create an account, he discovered that the bond fund could not be sold to US citizens."
- From a non-profit group operating in Europe – "…we received notification from [bank redacted] that they were terminating our account."
- From an American working in Switzerland – "I'm in the process of having my…accounts with [bank redacted] forced closed, except for the mortgage. I've been unable to open an account with any other Swiss bank."
- From an American living in Belgium – "…my portfolio of investments held at their bank was blocked. …He advised me that as of that date, I could no longer trade, but could only hold, sell or transfer my portfolio. I was banned from trading in either US stocks or all others."
Something everyone needs to be aware of.

USHL Names CCM Midseason All-Stars
Friday February 18, 2011

The United States Hockey League today announced the midseason CCM All-Star selections for the Eastern and Western Conference.
A total of 44 players - 22 from the Eastern and 22 from the Western - were chosen based on a vote by USHL coaches and general managers. The CCM All-Star rosters for each conference are made up of 13 forwards, seven defensemen, and two goaltenders.
"The USHL's CCM All-Star Awards represent one of the most prestigious midseason honors a junior-age player in North America can receive," said USHL Commissioner Skip Prince. "These rising stars exemplify what's special about the USHL and USA Hockey's development model. Five of this year's selections are already NHL draft choices, and several more will be drafted in June. Nearly all of the selections already has an NCAA Division I scholarship commitment, and they're going to 24 universities in all five of the collegiate hockey conferences. They're the best, representing the best, and this office and CCM are proud to salute them."
Four players were named USHL All-Stars for the second straight season. Omaha Lancers forward Seth Ambroz, Des Moines Buccaneers defenseman Austin Coldwell, and Indiana Ice defenseman Nick Mattson all competed in the 2010 USHL All-Star Game while Team USA forward Rocco Grimaldi was named but unable to participate in the event.
The Green Bay Gamblers, who currently have the best record in the USHL (30-10-2), lead the way with five All-Star selections while the Indiana Ice and the Dubuque Fighting Saints also each placed five players among the selections.
The USHL All-Star Game is absent from the schedule this season as the League is exploring options to develop an format that will build off the success of prior games and provide an improved experience for fans, scouts, and media.

Gardiner's Frog Hears with Mouth
French scientists have solved the mystery of how one of the world's smallest frogs can croak and hear other amphibians without possessing an eardrum.
Gardiner's frogs from the Seychelles islands, which are just one centimetre long, were thought to be deaf, but the research revealed they actually hear sounds through their mouths.
Using X-rays, the scientists discovered the frogs' mouths act as a resonator or amplifier for the frequencies 'spoken' by the species.
Here you can see the reduced thickness of the tissue between the mouth and the inner ear and a smaller number of tissue layers between the mouth and the inner ear. Dr Boistel said:'The combination of a mouth cavity and bone conduction allows Gardiner's frogs to perceive sound effectively without a middle ear.
Look at this frog!

In February, the Yahoo C.E.O. Marrisa Mayer banned employees from working at home. The decision, which bucked the growing trend of telecommuting in the corporate world, drew a great deal of criticism. James Surowiecki recently weighed in for the magazine, explaining how Mayer's policy might work for her company. In this video, Surowiecki explores the issue further, touching the positives and negatives of telecommuting and how it's best implemented.

I interviewed twelve veterans today who served in World War II and Vietnam for a project that I'm helping out with and I'm amazed at how humble they are. Not one of them thought that they were anything special or that they did anything heroic. One of the WWII vets was in the 82nd Airborne and was dropped into hotspots in France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany after D-Day and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He talked about it as if he worked at a gas station during that time — no ego, no bravado, just a regular American from a small town in Missouri serving his country and doing his job. Amazing people.
Another career soldier was attached to President Kennedy during the summit with British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan in the Bahamas told me two stories that we couldn't film and that I'm not allowed to share, but they are pretty damn awesome. And I saw proof!
Incredible experience. If you are related to or know a veteran, try to get their stories (a lot of them understandably have a tough time sharing). It will enrich your life.

I will be starting my first year as an animation student this fall.
I have been coming to this site for many months and I have great respect for the artists that post here. Your works have continued to inspire me.
Please leave feedback if you can, anything would be greatly appreciated.
I hope you enjoy my work, and thank you.

Your lines and rendering are very nice and tight. Keep posting.
Wanted to add a few more.
On a side note, it is so weird posting in the same place as some of my personal heroes.

Thank you FourTonMantis.

Looks really good. Nice anatomy studies.
hey man, i enjoy seeing your construction lines, and plane layouts. The first few posts also have a nice graphic addition to them, which is great. Keep it up.
Sketchbook!! Please help me improve!
Really strong work in here. I especially like the second kid, the one in profile. Great expression. Also--if you've got rougher stuff, we'd love to see that too. Looking forward to more updates...
I love your work. Especially the unfinished baby sketches. There is a great mix of realistic shapes and proportions with a flat, abstract sense of space.
Keep up the good work.

Here is a progression on a neutral emotion painting. It corresponds to the previous eye painting, the one that expressed excitement.
I want to thank all of you who posted your kind and encouraging words. I Will be posting on tour threads very soon if not already.
BOth sets of eyes are great. Solid construction, nice expression. Are these going to be taken to a more finished level? Also--are you going to continue the series?
Good stuff. I'd like to see some of your gestural sketch book type work. If you are in animation gesture and expression especially body expression are going to be more important than accuracy of form/ photo realism. Lets see some gestures in here .. yeah?
Wow, you being "new" or not, these are totally controlled and refined. I especially like the more iconic one you're using for your avatar; it's got potential to live on as some sort of cool mural that would put the tacky ones next to it to shame.
That last set of eyes is also pretty rad. This is probably just a coincidence, but in the last of the photos, the color of the table is very close to the color of the skin around the eyes, so it looks like they're actually holes in the paper that the eyes are peeking through. What if you zoomed out and added drawings with fingers poking through in the same way, to practice some of the gestures Illgnosis was talking about?

Frogisis: Thank You, here is a second in the same style as the profile pic. This one was hand drawn, then cleaned up in photoshop.
Quick question: how do you change the pic next to your thread in the sketchbook forum?
I created a profile pic , but that one is not the one that shows up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Damn man you're really good, and only one page, how old are you... i think that doesn't mater ... keep on rollin'

well done leg and arm studies, keep up with the books To help answer your question, in order to show a tumbnail at the beginning of your SB thread you hav to have the choosen image attatched to your first post.
Sketchbook!! Please help me improve!
Thank you so much Kidape, Now I have it set up the way I want it. I had to shift a few things but I got it. Thank you again.
Hmm, instresting ( I hope I spelled it right), your pencil work is amazing and I love your element of design, its really constructive, yet free flowing, post more.
Look, Iam diet drama, want to spend tha night dont bring pajamas, man there's so much heat beneath clothes, you see me !
JesArt Sketchbook, go have a gander..
Here are three pieces covering Direction, Shape, and Size. I will finish these.
Good work on the hands, but I think the one in the upper-right corner of the first drawing could use some work. It's a difficult pose, but with the fore-finger pointing toward the viewer it should probably be larger, with more pronounced foreshortening. This is a bit of a judgement call, but I would say, when it comes to foreshortening, error on the side of more foreshortening rather than less. If you push it too far it will give your drawing an exaggerated, dynamic look, but if you don't push it far enough your drawing will look misshapen and flat.
Keep up the good work.

Really nice studies and tight rendering style...!!
i second that forshortening argument....the index finger is in both drawings to short in relation to the other fingers...
However great stuff!
and keep em comin!
JesArt - Thank you.
Peter k - Thank you, you are right, it will look better when I fix the finger. I did not see that. Thanks again.
Delmar - You are right about the index finger in the size painting, slightly off but it will make a big difference. Thank you.
Here is one I did today. Even with my tiering schedule, this site gives me a lot of motivation.
i think maybe you should have pushed the contrast a little more in that last one.
I like your graphical pieces too, you seem to have a good eye for shapes.
Diggin' the Ditch?
Here are three murals.
The first I designed and lead 50 people in painting, in a north Philadelphia rec center.
The second I co designed and lead 80 people in painting, in a west Philadelphia elementary school.
The third I designed and lead 20 people in painting, for a New Hampshire middle school.
That, is inspiring. Those eyes are brilliant, I would love to see the top few finished off. Your style of pencil sketching/rendering is a lot different to mine and I enjoy looking at it. Gona go and paint now.
wow realy nice sb ... some awesome pieces. very nice!
cheers lateman

Smileys on colorful balloons
give you a good laugh as summer days
spent on sand dunes!
Debbie, you celebrate
your birthday today: never dislike or hate
yourself for another wrinkle,
instead listen to those sentimental tunes...
someone will winkle!
Smileys on colorful balloons will float around
you as planets spin around the golden sun;
don't reveal your real age to us as you step down...
to give your beautiful crown to a younger one!
A big hug and a unique present
are especially for you, Debbie;
my hug is warmer than sunshine,
and red fermenting wine!
I couldn't refrain from shouting out,"
" Happy Birthday, Debbie! "
After the bash party has ended,
lay down as your favorite star twinkles...
make that wish by saying it aloud,
" Magical cream, erase all my wrinkles! "

It has been said that all cinema is a special effect. In this highly original examination of time in film Sean Cubitt tries to get at the root of the uncanny effect produced by images and sounds that don't quite align with reality. What is it that cinema does? Cubitt proposes a history of images in motion from a digital perspective, for a digital audience.
In an age when scientists say they can no longer specify the exact difference between human and animal, living and dead, many contemporary artists have chosen to use animals in their work—as the ultimate "other," as metaphor, as reflection. The attempt to discover what is animal, not surprisingly, leads to a greater understanding of what it means to be human. In Becoming Animal, 12 internationally known artists investigate the shifting boundaries between animal and human. Their explorations may be a barometer of things to come.
"Every film is a foreign film," Atom Egoyan and Ian Balfour tell us in their introduction to Subtitles. How, then, to translate the experience of film—which, as Egoyan says, makes us "feel outside and inside at the same time"? Taking subtitles as their point of departure, the thirty-two contributors to this unique collection consider translation, foreignness, and otherness in film culture.
Although Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, and Jean Renoir do not pontificate about "eternal verities or analytical niceties," as Irving Singer remarks in Three Philosophical Filmmakers, each expresses, through his work, his particular vision of reality. In this study of these great directors, Singer examines the ways in which meaning and technique interact within their different visions.
In this book Lev Manovich offers the first systematic and rigorous theory of new media. He places new media within the histories of visual and media cultures of the last few centuries. He discusses new media's reliance on conventions of old media, such as the rectangular frame and mobile camera, and shows how new media works create the illusion of reality, address the viewer, and represent space. He also analyzes categories and forms unique to new media, such as interface and database.
This book examines the innovative work of thirty-four-year-old Scottish artist Douglas Gordon. Gordon is perhaps best known for installations that feature classic films by directors such as Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, and Martin Scorsese. In each of these works the original film has been manipulated—slowed down, mirrored by the use of split screen or dual projection, or had its soundtrack altered—to emphasize the artist's own signature themes, which include trust, guilt, madness, confession, deception, and doubling.
This interdisciplinary history and theory of sound in the arts reads the twentieth century by listening to it—to the emphatic and exceptional sounds of modernism and those on the cusp of postmodernism, recorded sound, noise, silence, the fluid sounds of immersion and dripping, and the meat voices of viruses, screams, and bestial cries. Focusing on Europe in the first half of the century and the United States in the postwar years, Douglas Kahn explores aural activities in literature, music, visual arts, theater, and film.
In Reality Transformed Irving Singer offers a new approach to the philosophy of film. Returning to the classical debate between realists and formalists, he shows how the opposing positions may be harmonized and united. Singer concentrates on questions about appearance and reality, the visual and the literary, and the interplay between communication as a goal and alienation as a hazard in films of every sort. In three exemplary chapters, he provides suggestive readings of Woody Allen's The Purple Rose of Cairo, Luchino Visconti's Death in Venice, and Jean Renoir's The Rules of the Game.
Few artists spanned the movements of early twentieth-century art as completely as did Hans Richter. Richter was a major force in the developments of expressionism, Dada, De Stijl, constructivism, and Surrealism, and the creator, with Viking Eggeling, of the abstract cinema. Along with Theo van Doesburg, László Moholy-Nagy, El Lissitzky, and a few others, he is one of the artists crucial to an understanding of the role of the arts in the reconstruction era following World War I.

Perry, try to find the best specialist there is in what you want to do, go and knock on his door even if you have to travel, I'm sure that you can find a way of finding out when he will be there ! Ask him if you can talk to him about his work, telephoning doesn't work unless you invent some story about wanting to interview him about his work for a college mag.
All photographers like to talk about their work, then turn the conversation around to how do I start.
This is the best way, it worked for me and all my assistants came to the door, I never even saw one that telephoned. You have to show CONFIDENCE that you really WANT to learn.
Perry, spell check your letters before you send them.
I have to disagree with Grampy in that I don't welcome cold-callers of any sort. In this studio, everything happens by appointment. You could ask for 90 seconds of the target's time and practice what you'll say in this time.
Agree with William, spell and grammar check everything before you send it and then get someone, either parent or teacher to proof read for you. If your first approach to anyone is by letter, it needs to be right.
Set out your aims, according to the place you are applying to, don't make it vague. ie I like this and that and also this. They need to feel that you are interested in what they do as a career. Also set down any experience you have and also any qualifications already gained and also if you have done any extra curricular work or volunteering (that can go down well).
Another point is to make everything in your letter positive, no negative words.
If you go to see someone, wear a suit or something smart and be as Grampy says, confident, but not over so.
This is the advice we gave our son when he was going for a sponsorship through uni, which he subsequently got and is now being paid to go to uni and is working through his holidays, giving him a real head start.
As a photographer the only criteria I wanted for an assistant was a non smoker someone who wanted to work, willing to do anything and of course interested in the subject.
If I wanted someone who could write letters , I would look for a secretary .
My technique enabled me to be an assistant to 4 top advertising photographers in Europe, I certainly wouldn't have had those jobs if I had written letters like all the others.
Carlton studios advertised in the BJ for an assistant they had over two hundred replies, the job eventually went to a cold caller , me, believe me it's the best way to jump the long list of potential assistants.
I suppose my post was more related to the other jobs that he was describing, science (the area my son is working in being biomedical science), business & accounting.
But even as a photographer, you still have to communicate with clients, either on the phone or by email, occasionally still by letter, so those communication skills still have a place.
So yes, by all means get in there and cold call, but don't forget to present yourself well.
Well, I am in touch with a proffesional photographer who has offered me a master class after i won a competition in my area, and i know that my photography teacher would be able to help too, I can travel to Cardiff so am not worried about not being able to find places available and i am sure that my C.V is up to scratch considering i am only looking for work experiance which is compulsory in my school. What kinds of places would be good for me if i decided my future lay in business or accountancy? and how do i get in touch? do i find out the name and address of the boss and knock on his door, or do i send a letter, or walk into the office and speak with the secratary? would working in small camera shops such as camerland or jacobs which opperate in my area be a good all rounder since it shows that i wold have people skills, photography knowledge, and the ability to sell? thanks everyone for their input
If you are looking into accountancy firms, you could go in and leave a letter addressed to the Managing Director if a small company or the HR Department if a large firm, you could also phone and say that you are at school and interested in going into accounting and ask if you could spend a day with the company. Also ask you careers department about work experience as they may have a list of companies that take people in for a week from your school.
Working in a shop will give you a reference if you are good, you just need to ask if they need any Saturday staff. Another thing that seems to go down well on a CV is doing the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme as it shows commitment to a project.

Actionable SEO- Site Explorer, Anchor Text Tab
Anchor Text
What insights does it give me?
Anchor Text is an important aspect to link building and can even affect your search rankings. Anchor Text is the human readable text that is associated with a link. It helps to describe a link to give an indication of what your site is about.
This means that Anchor Text is a great way of seeing what the web thinks of, and associates your site with, as well as what people think of your brand. Anchor Text can also reflect a message that a company is pushing through acquired links, or word of mouth, which influences natural links. The Anchor Text tab also gives you an insight in the links that are using certain Anchor Text.
Majestic's Anchor Text analysis can therefore be used to see if your competitors are engaging in fishy link building as it will demonstrate how it looks unnatural – as can be seen in the image to the left, and below.
The below image further conveys how the Anchor Text chart on the summary page for a site has been buying links. Of course – YOUR website isn't looking this fishy… is it? If so, then if we can spot it, so can the Search Engines.
Since the penguin update, Google is looking for sites to have a natural looking Anchor Text, in the fight against spam. Google wants its search results as clean as possible so users get the best possible experience. So if over 25% of your Anchor Text use exact match keywords, such as 'cheap car insurance', you are likely to be punished by Google. The commercial vs. non-commercial ratio of Anchor Text is important and blackhat SEO is easy to identify by the amount of commercial Anchor Text used. It is therefore important to use a variety of different Anchor Text to your site. To help, our Anchor Text tab can be used to analyse your Anchor Text and let you know whether you are on the right track.
Below is the Anchor Text chart for MajesticSEO. This is a natural looking Anchor Text distribution.
As already touched upon, as well as identifying the Anchor Text used for a link, the Anchor Text Tab can also be used to drill down into the domains that are being used, and let you discover the type of sites which use various Anchor Text. You can look at the domains that have used the Anchor Text, ordered by the citation and trust flow of the backlink, plus have the information shown in order of how influential the data is. So as well as seeing the referring domains that have used Anchor Text, you can also see the individual pages on the domain that the backlink has come from. But it doesn't just end there – all of this fantastic data can be downloaded to CSV where it can be analysed further and used to populate graphs.
So let's break this down a little..
The Anchor Text Tab in Site Explorer lets your properly drill down into the data.
The Anchor Text tab will show you all of the Anchor Text that links to the domain in order of the number of referring domains linking to the site, showing the total amount of backlinks for the phrase, how many of these are 'no follow' and 'deleted', as well as the Flow Metrics of the text!
As the image below demonstrates, you can filter the results to show only certain Anchor Text by entering text into the text box above the table, and then clicking 'filter Anchor Text'.
Simply tick the clean Anchor Text box above the table, and click 'reset' to undo the filter on the results.
Then there you have it, not only can you see the Anchor Text used, but the type of sites that are using it!
Need more data?
The site explorer gives you a headline view of the strongest links on your site. For ad-hoc investigations and for smaller sites you may never need to dig deeper, you can get more anchor text data with deeper filters in our advanced reports.

Does Majestic offer anything to easily see percentage of money keywords vs brand keywords vs naked URL vs random anchor text? That would be handy
That's really what the pie chart is showing, surely?
You guys are unbelievable. Day by day you add sth new and great. It'a a pleasure to use MajesticSEO, not just "work", but fun as well
I wanna try to use majesticSEO…yeah… Anchor Text is very important to a site. A natural Anchor Text distribution also is necessary
Another great article. I've read in many other places before that anchor text should be your keywords – but then came the Google updates and "punished" all the keyword stuffed anchor text. It is really important now to vary your anchors as this seems more natural to Google. Use: Click Here, More Info, Read On, and also add your keywords and LSI keywords (associated Keywords). And build links slowly & steadily, over time 2-3 a day.
Thanks for the info Majestic!
I am new to link building. This article helped me a lot to understand anchor text. But, still I need a little help to find right anchor text for my site. My website is a classified advertising site with domain name **removed**. Right now I am using "Leading Classifieds" as anchor text. Is this good? Please help someone to find me right anchor text. Thanks Majesticseo.
I am afraid we do not provide consultancy advice.
I agree anchor text usage has been important through the last few years, even 25% for one money keyword is pushing it. I generally try not to go over 15%. I also see some people not utilizing their main keywords enough 1% is probably to low depending on the amount of total backlinks you have.
Another great post from the Majestic team. I've found that anything 13-15% or more is starting to become problematic. A good mixture of branded anchor text is just the formula many of these "over-optimized" sites need. Also agreed with Todd above me – although now you want to be conscious to not over-use any specific keyword in anchor text – you still want your main keyword targets to have at least 3-4%.

Hey there welcome to my page!
here is a little bit about me and what I am doing.
My name is Martin Moscosa, I recently achieved an MSc in Management and Information Technology at St Andrews University (November 2011). Before that I graduated as ISC from Tecnológico de Monterrey Campus Guadalajara (Generation Dec 2009). Am an entrepreneur who likes challenges; my background has helped me to become a person who can adapt to new environments and having and open mind. Thinking always in solutions instead of problems. This website is aimed to share a little bit of me personally and as a professional, I hope you enjoy it!.
As mentioned above, my background is a bit of programmer and manager:
"Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall." (Covey, R. Stephen). One of the things I always emphasize about leadership is to share the knowledge; "try to lead by making leaders not followers". When managing a project I manage people to work as a team, deliver in time and feel accomplished to keep motivation.
There is always a programmable solution to your problems. I don't start programming straight away, first there is always a need to analyze to determine the best solution possible fitting all your needs no more, no less. I have experience developing in PHP (CakePHP), CSS3 (Sass and Less - like Twitter Bootstrap), HTML5 and jQuery; and everyday I try to learn something new always keeping up to day with the fast evolving technologies.
It has been now quite some time since I've been doing professional work. Most of the things I show here are of me as a developer. However, I have always been taking roles - directly or indirectly- of manager, here are my projects whether as a developer, manager or both.
One of the things I take great pleasure from is photography and I try to always keep improving it. I believe this helps me develop my creative side.
I keep all my photos -or most of them- online in one way or another. Some time ago I found 500px and so I decided to upload what I consider to be my best work. Below you can see some of them, and here you can see my whole collection.Please feel free to take a look and comment on them
If you're interested in other photo sites where I keep my photos, below are two alternatives that I use. Flickr [] where I upload all the photos I take and Instagram [] where I upload… well snapshots taken with the phone
So… you've made it this far in the page,either looking for for this or after reading all of the above. Do drop me a line and I will be sure to contact you back as soon as I can.
Thank you I will try and get back to you as soon as possible
Alternatively you can ping me on any of the many social networks below:

The suspect entered the California Bank and Trust branch at 16796 Bernardo Center Dr. just after 5:20 p.m. on Friday and demanded cash from a teller, San Diego police Officer David Stafford said.
The suspect received an undisclosed amount of cash before fleeing northbound in a dark colored sedan, Stafford said. No injuries were reported in the robbery and police did not say if the man used a weapon.

Business Ideas in the News / January 30, 2014
The scimitar horned oryx … the addax … the dama gazelle – three elegant desert antelope that you'd hope to see on a journey through Africa, except that their numbers are dwindling there. Which is why Lara Logan went to Texas — yes, Texas. There, on large grassland ranches, some exotic species that are endangered in the wild have been brought back in large numbers. But there's a catch: a percentage of the herd is hunted every year by hunters who pay big money for a big catch. The ranchers say this limited "culling" gives them the money they need to care for the animals and conserve the species.
It's not the hunting, per se, that saves the animals. It's the fact that someone owns them. The owner has an incentive to grow their populations and protect their health.
The same thing happened with the white rhino.

Last week I tried my hand at organizing a 3 Day vegetarian challenge in my house. To my surprise and delight, I managed to convince 28 other staff and students to come along with me (yes a handful were vegetarians already, but still).
I checked up on the 2nd day, and there was only 1 student who committed to it that fell off the wagon. Again pretty impressive in my opinion. I published some facts about the environmental impact this had over 3 days in the school's morning announcement on Earth Day(see below).
Just to be clear, I am definitely meat eater, and it is unlikely that I will go fully vegetarian, but cutting down on meat a few days a week doesn't seem that big a commitment, but has a big impact on the environment (not to mention the animals).
This has me wondering if I can take this anywhere…
The following statistics are the environmental impact we made
- Saved one thousand square meters of rain forest
- Conserved one million litres of water
- Each of the 28 people reduced their carbon footprint to one third of
that of a meat eater's carbon footprint.
- Not to mention a few relieved chickens, pigs and fish.
All this in three days. Imagine if we all stopped eating meat for 3 days every week!

Nanshan Training Center of China Golf Association Opening Up to Offer a International Golf Training Base
May 08,2012
The physical training center has world-class equipments and facilities, and it is divided into warm-up area of practice ground, athletic ability testing area, and comprehensive training center, being able to meet all physical training demands of professional athletes. The golfers who come here for physical training can receive thoughtful services in the fully equipped apartments.
The Cuiyuan Cuigu 36-hole high-quality court of the training center guarantees a good playing ground for off-field training of the golfers. As the hosting place of Nanshan China Masters Tournament, Cuiyuan court is a veritable playing court for tournaments; in addition, it has passed the inspection of America PGATOUR and thus possesses necessary quality and conditions for joining TPC of America PGATOUR. The Nanshan Training Center will constantly renovate and transform the Cuiyuan court so as to host the Nanshan China Masters Tournament and to provide high-level training services for a great number of athletes.
With the aim of scientific and comprehensive design, planning and construction of a world-class Nanshan international training center of China Golf Association, the ball sports management center of State Sports General Administration, the Nanshan Group, and design organizations together formed an investigation group and went to Europe and the US in April, 2011 successively. They went to many advanced training centers in the world such as Evian Masters training center in France, the EIPI, USPGA study and training center, US Titleist training center (TPI). Through the investigation tour, the group has learned and understood thoroughly various factors closely related to training centers such as functional layout, operation management, core competence, and facility instruments of the mainstream golf training centers in the world.
During the planning, design, construction and operation of the training center, the center fully incorporates Chinese cultural factors to form a Chinese culture atmosphere. It also blends traditional "five elements and eight trigrams" into the training center, facilitating the combination of Chinese traditional philosophy and dialectical thinking with the mutual generation and restriction relations and dialectical and materialistic relations of such factors as technique, strategy, physical ability, psychology, environment related to golf sport. In this way, the center provides not only the necessary grounds for practices, but the essential thinking for training of the athletes, implementing for real the training of high-level golfers centered on fostering golfers' aptitude and capability.
As the training base for Chinese golf national team, the future Nanshan International Training Center of China Golf Association is an "AAA" general hospital and rehabilitation center and also serves as an incubator for enhancing competitive capacities. It will function as an engine for promoting the progress of China's golf sport, and it will develop into a comprehensive training and R&D center which can offer best conditions, the most complete functions, the most advanced ideas, the most modern equipments, the most professional talents, the smoothest operation, and the most satisfactory services. Moreover, the training center will not only provide professional golfers and golf amateurs with professional services, but also realize self-development goal to foster talents and export ideas.
Another news: on May 8, the working conference on the preliminary and final competitions of golf sport of the Twelfth National Games was held at Nanshan, Longkou of Shandong. At the conference, supervisors in the ball sports management center of State Sports General Administration reported golf athletes' registration, and announced the golf competition rules of the Twelfth National Games. Before the conference, leaders of the ball sports management center of State Sports General Administration, China Golf Association, and Nanshan Group attended the foundation stone laying ceremony of China Golf Museum.

The Lost Generation of Japanese Internet Cafe Kids
Japanese internet cafes are good. So good that people are living there – literally.
Japanese internet cafes (also known as manga cafes) offer comfortable lay-flat chairs. They're semi-private and have food, showers, free drinks and ice cream, a massive library of books, manga, video games, magazines and movies. They even have internet!
It's cheap to stay over night in an internet cafe. Often it's around 1000~2000 yen ($10-20 USD).
Some young Japanese live in the cafes for weeks, months or even years. Moving from cafe to cafe each night.
Most internet cafe kids are engaged in casual employment of some kind. Many find the cafes a convenient alternative to an expensive Tokyo or Osaka apartment. They may also lack the down payment that's required for an apartment (key money, deposit and agent fees often total 6 months rent).
Most internet kids aren't truly homeless. Many could easily live with parents or relatives but find the cafes convenient.
Manga cafes — unlimited free sugar, video games, movies, manga. Many kids may feel it's better than home.
