101 Writing Tips
1. All screenwriting books are bullshit. ALL. Watch movies. Read screenplays. Let them be your guide.
2. 'Write what you know' works, but it's limiting. Write what fascinates you. Write what you can't stop thinking about.
3. The so called 'screenwriting guru' is really the so called screenwriting conman. Don't listen to them if you don't know their movies.
4. In what I thought was the beginning of a serious heartfelt convo, I told my dad I wanted to be a writer. He looked at me and said "You wanna write? Write." Still the best advice.
5. Calculate less. Don't try to game the market. Write what you want to write. And drink plenty of coffee.
6. Of the many supposed rules of writing, the only one that's ligit is 'write every day.'
7. There's a whole industry of bunko men who say that writing needs to be learned at some course. Don't believe it.
8. The moment your screenplay leaves your hands it becomes a commodity. So while it's with you, treat it like a piece of art.
9. Instead of reading screenwriting books, read about your subject. The subject that fascinates, compels and interests you.
10. With writing gurus it's all about the HOW. How do I write this. What writers should think about is WHY. Why do I need to write this now.
11. You don't need any expert's permission to write your story, your way. Repeat that.
12. Every writer should read Haruki Murakami's 'What I talk about when I talk about running'. It's a great book on running and even better one on writing.
13. Forget about contests, agents, focus on what you can control: words pages and the intention behind them.
14. The first screenplay that my partner and I wrote it was rejected by every agency as unsellable. It was Rounders.
15. The Coen brothers, Charlie Kaufman, Quentin Tarantino never tried to guess what Hollywood would make. They wrote their obsessions and so should you.
16. Let me use fewer words than the books do to explain three act structure. Beginning, middle and end. So stop worrying and start writing.
17. When I want a quick shot of inspiration I watch Amelie or Y Tu Mamma Tambien. Movies that broke all the rules but engage the heart.
18. Self doubt goes hand in hand with self expression. Tune it out for two hours a day. You'll have a finished screenplay.
19. Look I'm not saying form and structure don't matter. They do. But it's forming an emotional connection with the reader that sets you apart.
20. When I'm stuck on a first draft I remind myself that no one gets to see this 'til I say they can. Which gives me persuasion to finish.
21. I can't tell you how to write dialogue and build a character. No expert can either. You have to love writing enough to figure it out for yourself.
22. Know this: whatever your favourite movie is, at some point during the writing of it the screenwriter felt completely lost.
23. Try and write your first draft as fast as you can so the doubts don't have a chance to creep in.
24. If you just can't make progress on your screenplay today, write an essay, bang out a short story. Generate some pages.
25. The more rules you're trying to remember or beats you're trying to hit, the harder it is to get in a state of flow. Just write.
26. Always write for yourself but don't be self indulgent. Define your audience and write for them too.
27. Here's something I've noticed: amateur writers tend to write characters dumber than they are. Pros try to write characters smarter.
28. The 'realist' in the spirit of 'friendship' always wants to tell the writer the 'real' odds of getting something made. Tune 'em out.
29. Don't stress about making your main characters likeable or relatable. That's development speak. Just make them fascinating and we'll care.
30. You already know how to tell a story. Think of one that worked, that got you out of a ticket or got you a date and figure out why.
31. There's not one exec in Hollywood who knows what audiences want to see next year. So write what you want to see.
32. Writers look for reasons not write, so make a list of all the reasons you need to write and put it next to your computer.
33. If you love giant commercial blockbusters, that's what you should try to write. But if you love small personal films, write those.
34. 'Hey, aren't you just filling them with unrealistic expectations?' I hope so. All writers start out with unrealistic expectations.
35. Protect your writing time. Establish rituals around it. Take a long walk, make a particular kind of coffee to get you in state to write.
36. Writing a first draft can be a fragile thing. Don't sabotage yourself by talking to people who don't share your dreams.
37. I was a blocked writer until I was thirty, so I know how painful it is. I also know it's worth it to fight through it.
38. If you power through and finish a screenplay, you've accomplished more than 99% of the people who ever have a movie idea do.
39. Somedays you just don't feel creative. That's okay. Write anyway. At least that way you'll build momentum.
40. I find that nothing can change my state faster or get me in a creative state of mind quicker than listening to one of my favourite pieces of music.
41. I don't know any professional writers who'll tell you it's easy. It's worth remembering that. It's hard for all of us.
42. The best writers I know are led by their curiosity. And they follow it until they find the story they want to tell.
43. Resilience is a writers best friend. Train like a marathon runner. Move a little further each day, despite the pain.
44. Failure is huge part of any writer's life. So you have to redefine the term so any day you write is a success.
45. The best moments in writing are the ones you can barely remember. It's like they happened in a dream. But the only way to earn them, is to grind every day.
46. So what's the trick to finding an agent, to finally breaking through? The trick – don't let that stuff distract you.
47. If you're trying to decide what to write and you have one idea that scares you because you don' know what people will think of it… write that one.
48. Perfectionism can be a real asset in the final stages of any artistic project. But on the first draft it's a momentum killer.
49. When we celebrate risk takers we're talking about mountain climbers and cliff divers, but I know creative risk takers are just as brave.
50. Here's a tip for getting unstuck: Stop staring at the computer. Open a notebook and handwrite it or talk the scene into a recorder.
51. Most people spend only a small part of their day feeling fully engaged. So think of your writing that way and it's easier to commit.
52. When I say write what fascinates you, that's because it's easier to show up every day and do the work when you're truly passionate.
53. You don't have to like what you write every day. You just have to show up at your laptop or your desk and write.
54. When you really throw yourself into a creative endeavour, people in your life can become pretty critical. Remember: it's them not you.
55. If you only have an hour a day to write, look at that as a positive. Because it forces you to focus and work with intensity.
56. Do I have to move to LA to make it as a screenwriter? Do I have to be tall to work in the NBA? No, but you better outwork everyone else.
57. When I say don't fall prey to perfectionism, I don't mean lower your standards. I mean don't use standards as an excuse not to write.
58. Whether or not to outline is really a question of how comfortable you are with uncertainty. Which is also the answer to whether this is the career for you.
59. Remembering this helps take the pressure off: There are two first drafts. The first draft you write for you, and the first draft you show to someone else.
60. Many of us have what gamblers call leak – a habit or enthusiasm that knocks us off course. Figure out what yours is and close it.
61. If you find yourself insulted by someone's reaction to your work. Just use it as fuel, just like every other writer who ever lived.
62. But what if I sit down today and I have absolutely nothing to write? Think of the last huge argument you had with someone and write it as a scene.
63. It's easier to deal with something if you anticipate it. So know that somewhere in the middle of your script you're going to think it's worthless and fight on.
64. Sometimes you're stuck because you don't know what's supposed to happen next in your story. Here's a trick, just think of what your characters might do next, and write that.
65. Nobody chooses to become a writer or any kind of an artist because it's easy. You do it because you have too.
66. Is writing sometimes lonely? Yes, but it's worth it for those moments where time disappears and you feel connected to everything.
67. So what's more important – inspiration or discipline? Honestly, you need to use 100% of both.
68. The first time I got a bad review it almost took me out. Then I realised that if I got right back to creating I could survive.
69. If you're going to become an artist of any kind you have to know it's almost impossible to succeed and then work like you know you will.
70. I think self imposed deadlines are useful because they can prod you forward. Just make sure that they're also attainable.
71. Don't share your draft with anyone else until you can't think of anyways to make it better on your own first.
72. Think of how much joy your favourite artists have brought you. Now imagine if your work can do that for even one other person an get to it.
73. But how do I know if I'm just wasting my time? How do I even know what I'm doing is even any good? Nobody ever knows. Do it anyway.
74. Professional artists don't expect to create museum quality work with the first sketch on a new project, they just want to get something down on canvas.
75. Is it possible you won't sell that novel you're working on or screenplay or painting you're trying to finish? Yeah. Isn't it awesome you're doing it anyway.
76. Your imagination is more powerful than any critic, agent, or studio boss in the world.
77. The greatest shooters in the history of the NBA all shot the ball differently. Just get it in the hoop.
78. What do I do every day to keep myself in a creative space? I journal. I meditate. I take long walks.
79. If rule number one is 'write every day', rule number two is 'take creative risks'. Even when they fail, you get stronger.
80. The next time that someone laughs at your dream. Remind them that Paul Haggis's Crash script was rejected for five years straight.
81. No one in Hollywood woke up this morning wondering how they can help you. But they did wake up desperately in need of great material.
82. There is no secret. Writing is all about hard work, persistence and discovery. Anyone who says different is selling something.
83. If you can get past the sticky mid point of any artistic project, you'll be floated, at least for a while, on momentum and inspiration.
84. Here's a basic truth I like to remind myself of. If you write one page a day, you'll have a first draft in three and a half months. Two, in fifty-five days.
85. Once you've written a first draft and you're on to the rewrite, strive for clarity. Even if your narrative is opaque and twisty your prose shouldn't be.
86. People ask, 'how do you know when your stuff is ready to show to other people'. This isn't science. Part of writing is developing that instinct.
87. If you wanna be an artist you better learn to say NO. To the temptations pulling you away from your work; to the wrong people; to your inner critic.
88. If you still feel pressure writing your first draft, don't think of it as a first draft. Think of it as a rough draft, then revise. That'll be your first draft.
89. All I want to say today is this: the romantic vision of the beautiful tortured artist addict is a lie.
90. For one week, track how much television you watch. Next week, spend one third of that time creating something.
91. Do professional writers ever feel like they're banging their heads against the wall and everything they're writing is useless? Of course, we just stay at our desks anyway.
92. If you want to model a character after your cousin, your aunt, your uncle, your friend, do it. You can disguise them later. Make them real now.
93. What if I'm a good writer I just don't want to deal with all that politics? What if I'm a good swimmer I just don't want to deal with all that water?
94. I was beating myself up about spending a saturday reading, watching movies, instead of writing. But then I remembered, input – as important as output.
95. There's no one creative endeavour I've tried that hasn't been met with resistance and rejection at first. The trick is to ignore those things.
96. The time you set aside to create is one of the only things you can control. Luckily it's also the most important factor in getting things done.
97. I promise you this. If you write every single day, a year from now, you'll be a much better writer than you are today.
98. Screenwriting is not a competition but somebody's out there not daunted by the odds, writing every day, dreaming big. Is that you?
99. Should I outline or not? And which genre? Better question: what can I do today to put myself in the best state of mind to create?
100. Tell the truth. Does talent matter? Of course it does. Here's the good news. Talent reveals itself over time.
101. I was in the book store earlier tonight and I realised every single author made a decision at some point that they were a writer. Are you ready to?
requested!! its just some stuff ive learned idk dont trust me too much, i had the parts for this laying around for days and was too lazy to put text on it i also added a collage of some chests ive done last minute
Okay, a handful of my followers were asking me how I lineart. So here it is! I really hope this helps. I'm sorry for any grammatical error ;;
Digital studies, trying to get a good feel for tigers. These are the tidier ones. Mostly done off of deviantart stock photos I looked up under the 'newest' section.
You can never have too many art books! (I have too many)
Color codes

Natural Hair Colors (although this is a list of hair dyes and some of them borderline on being unnatural, just a warning)
Character design and drawing are tome-sized topics and even if I had all the answers (I don't - I have a lot to learn), I'm not sure I could communicate them effectively. I've gathered some thoughts and ideas here, though, in case they're helpful.
First, some general things:

Two parents charged with involuntary manslaughter after their 7-month-old girl who starved to death in January in northwest suburban Barrington were each held on $250,000 bond Saturday.
Bolingbrook residents Markisha Jones, 19, and Gene Edwards, 22, each face felony counts of involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment in connection with the death of their infant daughter Mya G. Edwards, Barrington police announced Friday evening.
Edwards and Jones were both ordered held on $250,000 bond at a Saturday hearing, according to the Cook County Sheriff's office.
Mya was found dead Jan. 8 in the 100 block of South Hager Avenue in Barrington. A Jan. 9 autopsy was inconclusive pending toxicology test results, the Cook County Medical Examiner's office said at the time.
Police on Friday said Mya's death was ruled a homicide due to malnutrition from starvation.
In March, state child welfare officials said an investigation determined that Mya's parents neglected the infant and her twin sister, who was placed into foster care, the Pioneer Press previously reported.
A Department of Children and Family Services spokeswoman said in January that the agency had not had prior contact with the family, though the DCFS did receive an "unfounded" neglect report in April 2013 and an abuse report from 2002 for other children that were in the home.
Edwards is next due to appear in court Wednesday at the Rolling Meadows courthouse, while Jones will appear in court Thursday, the sheriff's office said.

New water systems are no longer coming to Zion Crossroads, at least not in the near future.
The Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors has ended negotiations with the water and sewer company Aqua Virginia, so other options will now be considered.
Supervisor Mozell Booker said negotiations ended based on legal problems with Aqua's proposal. She says things ended on positive terms, and they may still work together in the future.
At this point, the Board of Supervisors has several more options to consider. At its next meeting, supervisors are expected to discuss a plan to run water from the Mechunk Creek area to Zion Crossroads. To do this, the board would need approval from the Department of Corrections, as part of the land is owned by the prison.
Booker says ending negotiations with Aqua Virginia make that decision all the more important. This would only be a short-term solution for the need of water at Zion Crossroads, as it would not provide a significant increase, but it's a start.
More future plans include a line that would run from the James River around the Columbia area up just over the border into Louisa County at Fork Creek, and then eventually west to Zion Crossroads. This option would depend on the construction of a new treatment plant at Fork Creek, which Booker says is in the works.
The water intake on the James River right now is owned by both Fluvanna and Louisa, but Fluvanna County has talked about moving it closer to Columbia as a first step. This would make construction of the future water line easier, but would require the approval of Louisa.
There are a multitude of options to be considered, but supervisors want to make it clear they are serious about getting water to Zion Crossroads and the 250 corridor.

The Next Video Revolution
- Friday, September 03, 2010
There's been much buzz about the way Apple's iPad will change personal computing, with its lightweight, mouse-free elegant design that allows greater mobility with longer battery life for web surfing, movie-watching and reading books and other print media. But there's another big factor shaping the way we use electronic media and it's related to devices like the iPad because all of this is involved with digital media, the technology that allows all kinds of information to be compressed into binary code and used to access multimedia on multiple platforms, as anyone who's watched a Hollywood movie on their iPod knows.
The revolution is in the realm of home video, the segment of the media that impacted the way we use television starting in the 1980s when the VCR boom exploded across the world. Prior to the arrival of Beta and then VHS videotape player/recorders, there was no way to control one's television or film viewing. When a network broadcast a program or movie, you either caught it the night and time it aired, or caught the episode rerun months later. The Big Three television network, NBC, CBS, ABC, controlled the television content flow on their scheduling grids so that viewers planned their lives around watching their favorite programs.
In the 1970s, the three networks accounted for over 90 % of the audience.
Two huge technological developments allowed Americans to have greater choices over what they did with their television sets. The first was the growth of cable channels and their penetration to more and more homes, giving greater choices of what to watch. The other was the rise of the VCR (the first VHS model shown here) to allow the recording of television programs for later viewing ("timeshifting") which delivered the audience from its captivity to a program schedule; the VCR could also play prerecorded Hollywood films. The result was that the American home was now more autonomous in its viewing choices. Today, television broadcast networks are down to just over 50% of the audience, having lost out to cable and home video.
The rise of the VCR meant that we began to expect to be able to do our own programming, to view what we wanted, when we wanted. And we could fast forward past commercials, undermining the whole business model of commercial television. Later, when the Digital Video Disc brought us an even better version of Hollywood products, we began to enjoy how good movies could look on our television sets. The arrival of high-definition, widescreen monitors enhanced the aesthetic experience.
When the Digital Video Recorder, such as those made by TiVo, arrived, it used a hard drive to digitally record and store program content for pausing, or replaying anything on TV, a real improvement on the now ancient-seeming VCR. Just like the World Wide Web taught us to expect to get print content easily and for free, home video made us our own exhibitors in our home theater.
But as "digital convergence" made all kinds of content available on all kinds of devices, the term Video on Demand became one of the buzzwords in circulation: the expectation that someday soon, we would be able to order up any content we had once had to rent from our closest Blockbuster store or through the mail from Netflix. But digital convergence means that all kinds of devices can be conduits for the same streaming content. Thus it is that I have begun to experience some of the latest advances in home video.
We have a TiVo HD DVR that records many hours of programming and saves it, creating a library of movies and other programs that can be watched at anytime. We also have added a Tivo wireless adapter which receives wireless signals from our computer's router. In essence, our router sends out signals from our cable broadband connection to our TiVo so that we can access You Tube, Amazon and other content providers over the Internet. But the biggest source of offerings is that we can watch hundreds of movies and television shows on our Netflix account this way in standard and high definition. For weeks we've been watching successive season of Lost in beautiful detail whenever we want to.
But wait, there's more-Months ago, Netflix sent out an e-mail asking if we'd like to watch content from our Instant Queue on my son's Wii game console. They sent us a disc that enabled the Wii, already able to receive wireless signals, to play back Netflix programs picked up from our router. Ever since, I've been able to watch movies, documentaries and television programs while using our treadmill. And last week I did the same thing on my son's Playstation 3, which brings Netflix content in even better resolution. If I'm in the middle of a program, on any of these three devices, or one of our computers, I can stop it, and resume the program on another device in the house.
I can tell already that this will continue to change our media habits. As DVD and Blu-Ray sales stay flat, and as more titles become available instantly, we will watch more streaming content instead of having to wait for it by mail, as we have done with Lost episodes. I will still prefer to watch Blu-Ray discs of classic and major films but HD streaming at what looks like 1080i quality will certainly suffice for lots of other content, when more arrives.
This fascinating cnet article reports on Netflix's strategy of getting more and more rights to programming from Hollywood studios. Even Netflix's much reported agreement to delay receiving Warner Bros. DVDs for three weeks (allowing the studio to sell DVDs rather than allowing Netfix to rent them) is a long-term tactic to obtain the video streaming rights that will one day save them millions in postage fees as their growing customer based opts to stream movies rather than order them through the mail. They see that as the soon-arriving future of home video-on demand.

Panthers' First Season Win
The UWM men's basketball team prevailed in its first season game last fall.
The UWM Men's Basketball team held off a strong effort from Cardinal Stritch in an exhibition game to win their first game of the season, 74-72.
Contribution by many may be the theme of the night regarding UWM's first game of the season.
The Panthers played Cardinal Stritch University, in the NAIA, essentially a Division 2 team. Many teams schedule exhibition games against lesser opponents as a tune-up game. It gets the players into the feel of playing actual games again.
CSU went 22-8 last season, and underwent a coaching change for this year. The cousin of former Marquette basketball star Travis Diener, Drew Diener, took over the reins at Cardinal Stritch this season.
Milwaukee seniors Tone Boyle, and James Eayrs had been selected to the preseason All-Horizon League Team. This game was supposed to be a showcase of what those two could bring to the table this year for the Panthers.
UWM Senior Forward James Eayrs was asked whether or not there was any additional pressure put on him by the pre-season recognition. He said, "No, not really. I'm just going to go out, and play my game just like last year."
Unfortunately for the team, Boyle missed the game with an injury. Also missing the game due to injury was Senior guard Ricky Franklin.
When asked how big of a deal it was to be playing without big contributors due to injury, UWM Assistant Coach Duffy Conroy said it was tough.
"Ricky Franklin is our quarterback, and it's hard sometimes to adjust without having your quarterback on the floor," said Conroy. "We had seven guys out on the floor yesterday that had never played a college basketball game for us."
With two of the three main scorers out for the Panthers, the team had to rely on contribution by many. That's just what they got, as six players each had over seven points for UWM.
Leading the way for the Panthers was Senior James Eayrs. Even though he stated that he was going to be more defensive minded this year, he managed to score 20 points, and added 10 rebounds to go along with it.
Meanwhile for CSU, they had three players each score over 17 points. Kody Braddix was the top scorer for CSU with 28 points in 38 minutes.
Milwaukee showcased what appeared to be a seven-man rotation, as only two players got more than 10 minutes off the bench. Fouls were not to be overlooked on this night, as it played a key component in how the game ended.
Turnovers were also a big problem for Milwaukee, as they wound up with a total of 22 to end the game.
Frustration regarding foul calling was mounting for CSU coach Drew Diener, as with eight minutes to go in the first half, he threw his water bottle up in the air in disgust. Just four minutes later, a technical foul was called on the Cardinal Stritch bench, due to the coach further expressing his frustration with foul calling.
CSU led the Panthers at halftime by a score of 39-34. Milwaukee shot just 35 percent in the first half. It seemed as if CSU had all the momentum going into halftime.
With the second half just about to start, CSU coach Drew Diener came slowly walking out of the tunnel down to the court area. He had an extremely confident look on his face, and was ever so casually sipping from his water bottle as he walked towards his players.
Perhaps it was an attempt to get his players to continue to believe they could pull off the upset. With a five point lead at halftime, and his team performing well, there was no reason for him not to feel confident.
Cardinal Stritch came out fired up in the second half once again, playing very good defense on route to forcing 12 second half turnovers.
But the difference in the second half was UWM's ability to shoot the basketball. The Panthers shot 50 percent in the second half, and had finally found their stroke.
Back and forth the lead went through the second half, as the teams seemed to be trading baskets.
The CSU bench was called for their second technical foul of the game, with just over nine minutes to go in the second half. The two technical fouls on the CSU bench wound up being costly, as it cost Cardinal Stritch two points in the end.
• UWM had a 71-70 lead with 26 seconds left in the game. UWM Senior Jason Averkamp was fouled off of the inbounds pass to put him on the free throw line, but he only wound up hitting one free throw.
• He missed the second shot, and UWM got the ball back. Freshman Riley Walker was sent to the free throw line, where he too made just one shot. It gave the Panthers a 73-70 lead with 22 seconds to play.
• Instead of waiting for the last second and shooting a three, Brandon D'Amico of Cardinal Stritch made a layup to cut the lead to 73-72 with nine seconds to play in the game.
• Junior UWM guard Deonte Roberts was sent to the free throw line, and made just one shot. His basket put the lead up to 74-72.
• This gave Cardinal Stritch one last chance with a few seconds left. Kody Braddix got the ball for CSU, and shot a deep jump shot, which missed, giving UWM the victory, 74-72.
Travis Wacker, a Junior at UWM and fan of Milwaukee basketball said that he really was surprised at how well CSU played. "They were just flying all over the court. It was just a pesky defense and Stritch looked good. I didn't really expect that out of them."
The Panthers have to be thankful that this was just an exhibition game. But if they can get players back from injury, James Eayrs believes that this team can go somewhere.
"I think we have a veteran squad coming back here, and we've got some injuries right now. But I think they'll take care of themselves, and come back and help us out here."
However the Panthers wind up doing this season, you can be sure that injuries and turnovers will be a key component to the amount of success they have.

The 'Detroit Hangover' struck again for the Nashville Predators.
After decisively beating their arch-rivals 3-0 on Saturday at home, and two days before going to Detroit for a rematch, the Preds dropped a 4-0 decision to last-place Edmonton Monday night at the Bridgestone Arena.
Devan Dubnyk recorded his first career shutout with 37 saves, while Andrew Cogliano chipped in with a goal and an assist.
It was all Predators in the early going, as they outshot the Oilers 13-1 in the first 10 minutes, but they couldn't beat Dubnyk. Edmonton started to get more chances late and finally pounced with 5:33 to go in the period.
Cogliano stuffed home a Jordan Eberle rebound to give the Oilers a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes.
"I think we came out with a really good start," Preds defenseman Shane O'Brien said. "If we get one early I think it would have been a different outcome."
"There were a lot of chances," forward Steve Sullivan added. "The 15 shots we took in the first period, the power play chances we didn't get, a couple crossbars – there are a lot of areas that we did well and some we didn't do so well."
The Oilers continued to pour it on in the second, outworking the Predators and outshooting them 11-6 in the period. Just a minute after exiting the penalty box, former Pred Ryan Jones scored on a one-timer at 14:23 to put Edmonton up 2-0. Nashville had a couple golden opportunities in the period, but could not convert.
It did not get any better for Barry Trotz and company in the third. Eberle's deflection and Dustin Penner's breakaway doubled the Oilers' lead to 4-0.
After the game, there was some controversy surrounding Edmonton's third goal. Eberle drove the crease as Vandermeer shot from the point and bumped into Rinne, who was clearly upset about the non-call.
"If that's not a goalie interference, I don't know what is," Rinne said. "The guy hit me on my blocker-side shoulder and there was no way I could try to make a save. I don't get it. (The referee) told me to stay in my crease – I was at the top of my crease. I was furious. We didn't lose because of that, but still, that's not a goal."
"The third goal shouldn't have been a goal," Trotz noted. "It was totally interference. Please. We scored a goal in Philadelphia, we never touched the goaltender, and it got called back. Peks gets run over and they allow it."
It was a particularly frustrating game for the team, considering their emotional win against the Red Wings on Saturday. However, they fell into a classic trap with this loss against an Oilers club that looks up at the rest of the Western Conference.
"We shouldn't have any excuses – I think we need to figure that out," Rinne said, referring to it being a trap game.
Since the lockout, the Preds have beaten their Motor City rivals 17 times. Following those wins (in 15 games when they followed up against a different opponent), the Preds are 5-10. It has loosely become the 'Detroit Hangover.'

Andre Ward's Fight for God
Andre Ward beats up people for a living. But just because he's a born-again Christian doesn't mean he has to repent for fighting.
As a child of God—who just happens to be the undisputed WBA/WBC/Ring Magazine super middleweight boxing champion of the world—Ward says his motives are pure every time he steps into the ring and that he's simply doing the job with which the Lord blessed him.
"It's a heart condition," says the 28-year-old Ward, who defended his titles against light heavyweight champ Chad Dawson in Ward's hometown of Oakland, Calif., in September to run his professional record to 26-0. "If I truly was honest with myself and I intentionally and permanently wanted to hurt someone, then that would be a problem.
"It may sound like an oxymoron, but I don't have a heart to hurt anyone in the ring. I always pray for myself, my opponent and for our families' sakes that neither one of us gets hurt during a fight. That's only one of the reasons that God has blessed me so much in my life."
Ward has myriad reasons to feel that way. Not only is he on top of the boxing world in his division with three titles around his waist, he has yet to be defeated as a professional. The former Olympic gold medalist also was named Sports Illustrated and Ring Magazine's Fighter of the Year for 2011.
Above all these accolades, however, Ward is grateful for how his status as a successful athlete has allowed him to become an effective witness for Jesus Christ and a role model for youngsters. His mantra, S.O.G. (Son of God), which is prominently displayed on his trunks, is something he borrowed from Galatians 3:26, which states: "For all of you are sons of God through faith in Jesus Christ." read more
Blind Actor Sees Perfectly
Tom Sullivan has been physically unable to see since birth. Throughout his life, however, the author and entertainer has become accustomed to finding spiritual insight while coming to grips with his blindness. In his latest memoir, As I See It, he explains how he's learned to look at life from a different view.
"Most people live in a world in which they are looking at how others affect them, rather than how they affect others," said Sullivan, who lists television shows such as M*A*S*H and WKRP in Cincinnati to his acting credits along with a seven-year stint as a reporter on ABC's Good Morning America.
"What matters is, am I operating in God's likeness by taking a loving look at other people I meet? That's how I have tried to live. It sounds cliche, but I was once blind and now I see."
Sullivan, 65, admits his blindness produced a strong bitterness early on toward God. That changed after he was radically saved in 1973, shortly after his then 3-year-old daughter, Blythe, fell into the family swimming pool. Sullivan dove into the pool and heard air bubbles, then went down nine feet to find Blythe and was able to resuscitate her.
"Anyone else wouldn't have heard them; not because they couldn't, but because they just wouldn't," he says. "Miracles happen when ordinary people like you and me, through grace, do extraordinary things."
Sullivan engages in many activities that people of sight take for granted. He regularly enjoys downhill skiing and averages 90 for an 18-hole round of golf. These days, he can be found on the corporate lecture circuit, where he never misses an opportunity to tell others about Jesus: "I've made the decision to articulate and witness my faith in front of these companies. It's not always favorably received by some companies because they say this isn't the place for it. But I've chosen to do it anyway. You have to keep putting it out there—that's frontline faith."
Indeed, Sullivan wouldn't see it any other way. read more

How to Actually Look Good
Look in the mirror and if you are comfortable with what you're wearing, then fantastic. Now you add a layer of confidence, another layer of happiness, and finally an outer cover of humility. You don't even have to think you look good, you will just radiate sexiness and everyone will be jealous yet honored of your presence. E
How to know you look good.
Look in the mirror. If you see yourself as a douchey hype beast that you would totally hate on. Then damn, you look sexy.

Local museum early board/founding members, January 29, 1999, requested the rare (c)1987 Apacheland Scale Model (US Copyright)exhibit in writing five years before the February 14, 2004 fire destroyed Apacheland Studios and before the museum was built as follows: "Thanks for the model of Apacheland, which is now in good hands and awaits only the building of our new museum to go on permanent display." (January 29, 1999)
The exhibit so rare the exhibit is requested before the museum was built and requested by the founding board members. (Many of the early founding members have gone and and or resigned unfortunately).
In 2005 a contract was signed that rare 1987 Apacheland Scale Model was on loan to the museum to display in main gallery.
Fast forward to, April 2012, the rare detailed 4ft by 12 ft exhibit was voted out (by the current board) after board commissioned someone to make a "diorama" unknown to the builder! Why? Did they like the work so well that they wanted imitations of the rare exhibit, apparently, and why the builder of (c)1987 Apacheland Scale Model (US Copyright) was last to know about the "diorama" project!?
The builder was notified by mail April 2012 that a "new diorama" arrived that the rare and original exhibit would be moved to the barn without climate control. Can one build a "diorama" from this picture?
This is Apacheland Studios ground, empty, after the 2004 fire anything built after 2004 fire is imitation and unauthorized.
The authentic and rare (c)1987 Apacheland Scale Model display(US Copyright) is now moved from that museum for safety because this exhibit is all that remaind to show the movie-set as it was--the 4ftx12ft exhibit is official and authentic and rare realized by the museum before the fire and before the museum was built.
Anything built after the 2004 is unauthorized and imitation-- the burning flames cleared this ground February 14, 2004. The rare authentic/official (c) 1987 Apacheland Scale Model (US Copyright) was built during a time when the builder worked at the movie-set measuring each post, window, door, building and aerial photos made to complete the rare exhibit. The 4ft.x 12ft. exhibit was built sixteen years before the 2004 fire when the town and buildings were standing!!
Again words from the board, January 1999, before museum was built:"Thanks for the model of Apacheland, which is now in good hands and awaits only the building of our new museum to go on permanent display."
The large (c)1987 Apacheland Scale Model (US Copyright) is rare and was built 1987 when the buildings existed and before the fire; the display is authentic/original and is the only official authorized exhibit of the famous Hollywood movie-set that was built in 1959 at the base of Dinosaur Mountain in today's Gold Canyon--not in Apache Junction, AZ as one "self-proclaimed historian," likes to claim. "The Junction" did not incorporated until 1978.
The original display weighs 500 lbs. and two sections for travel and the tops are open to provide fans opportunity to see inside the buildings to enjoy the town as it was, the saloon doors swing open, the Elvis Chapel bell rings. Building complete with lights.
The display, (c)1987 Apacheland Scale Model (US Copyright) is the famous movie-set, as it was, built for the fans! The rare exhibit was in storage sixteen years and taken out of storage (at request of museum) to be on display inside the main gallery.
Thankfully, the (c)1987 Apacheland Scale Model (US Copyright) is now moved from the museum, to a safe location, protected by the Apacheland Historical Society, INC., for the fans.

Disability retirement and SRS
January 29th, 2014 | COLA Creditable service: FERS Disability retirement FERS annuity computation High-3 PAY RETIREMENT Special retirement supplement
Q. I retired under the FERS disability provisions 16 years ago. I want to find out what portion of my monthly retirement benefit represents the special retirement supplement portion. At the time of my retirement, I had 16 years of creditable service. I am receiving about $1,900 per month, and I believe my calculation at age 62 would be times 1.1 percent. I will not be eligible for Social Security until age 62 and one month. Will I lose the supplement for one month?
Disability retirement vs. regular retirement
January 28th, 2014 | Benefits Creditable service: FERS Disability retirement FERS annuity computation Minimum retirement age RETIREMENT SOCIAL SECURITY
Q. I'm a letter carrier with 32 years of federal service under FERS. I have 2½ years to go before I meet my minimum retirement age. I'm considering disability retirement because my health has been keeping me from work. What will I lose or gain (pros and cons) between regular retirement and disability retirement. Which is stronger financially?
Deferred retirement vs. disability retirement
January 27th, 2014 | annuity reduction Creditable service: FERS Deferred retirement Disability retirement DOWNSIZING Minimum retirement age PAY Resignation RETIREMENT VERA
Q. I am a 51-year old FERS employee with 28 years of service. Because of my declining health, I plan to resign and take a deferred retirement. With more than 20 years of service under FERS, I can begin receiving a deferred annuity at age 60. Can I receive a reduced annuity at age 56, my minimum retirement age? If so, will the reduction be 20 percent or 30 percent? In other words, will I be penalized 20 percent (5 percent per year for four years) between the ages of 56 and 60, or 30 percent for the six years between the ages of 56 and 62?
Military buyback refund
January 23rd, 2014 | Creditable service: FERS Disability retirement Military service deposits RETIREMENT separation
Q. I was recently awarded a 40 percent military disability retirement retroactively back to 2005. I am a federal employee who previously paid more than $8,000 to buy back my military service time toward FERS retirement. Now that I am a military retiree, I am not eligible to buyback my military time. My human resources point of contact said the military buyback cannot be refunded until separation or FERS retirement. Can I receive a refund of the $8,000 military deposit prior to my FERS retirement?
Disability retirement and taxes
January 22nd, 2014 | Disability retirement PAY RETIREMENT taxes
Q. Do I have to pay taxes on my annuity if I went off work on disability retirement?
Recomputing disability retirement
January 21st, 2014 | COLA Creditable service: FERS Disability retirement EMPLOYMENT PAY Postal Service RETIREMENT
Q. I understand that they recompute your disability retirement at 62 years old. Does the amount one gets at 62 generally stay the same, go up or go down? What about cost-of-living adjustments under FERS? Do they recompute other agencies you also have worked before Postal Service time?
Workers' comp and creditable service
January 20th, 2014 | Creditable service: CSRS CSRS annuity computation CSRS Offset Disability retirement LEAVE RETIREMENT Workers' compensation
Q. How does time spent on workers' compensation for full and partial disability count toward CSRS retirement? I was injured after 13 years of civil service, was fully disabled two years, partially disabled (25 percent) for 10 years, and returned to work from 2003 to the present. To calculate CSRS Offset retirement, do the two years on full disability count as two years creditable service? Do the 10 years on 25 percent partial disability count as 10 years or 2½ years creditable service?
Disability retirement
January 20th, 2014 | Disability retirement Military service deposits RETIREMENT
Q. I am a dual status technician. I have 27 years of federal service. I am being put out of the military on a disability retirement due to a service-connected medical issue. I am 50 years old. Will I be able to collect my military disability and also receive my fed tech retirement? I noticed on my 199 Form that it has the following statement in Section V: "The disability disposition is not based on disease or injury incurred in the line of duty in Combat with and enemy of the US and as a direct result of armed conflict or caused by an instrumentality of war and incurred in the line of duty during a period of war (5 USC 8332, 3502, and 6303)."
Filing a claim due to injury
January 19th, 2014 | Disability retirement Eligibility LEAVE RETIREMENT Workers' compensation
Q. I will be eligible for retirement in approximately 14 months. Early on in my career, I injured both of my knee on different occasions. My knee bothers me to this day. Is there a way to file a claim for service-connected injuries similar to what is available when exiting the military? If so, where can I find more information?
SSDI and special retirement supplement
January 18th, 2014 | Creditable service: FERS Disability retirement DOWNSIZING RETIREMENT SOCIAL SECURITY Special retirement supplement VERA
Q. I retired under a Voluntary Early Retirement Authority in January 2009. I was also approved for Social Security disability in 2008. I've had 22 years under FERS, and I'm now 58. Should I have been receiving the special retirement supplement since I never applied for FERS disability?
Workers' compensation
January 18th, 2014 | Disability retirement LEAVE RETIREMENT Workers' compensation
Q. I am on leave without pay and Department of Labor workers' compensation due to an injury which occurred on duty as a federal agent. I had surgery 16 months ago. I am still having issues that prevent me from returning to work at this time. I am undergoing physical therapy and pain management. Doctors are recommending more surgeries, epidural treatments, PT, etc. Keeping in mind that additional surgeries and epidurals may not be beneficial and come with additional risks, do I have to take the doctors' recommendations? Do I have the option to say I have had enough poking and prodding? Can I remain indefinitely on workers' comp and call it quits? If so, what should I do? I have been told that as far as an agent position, there are no "desk jobs." Do I have to apply for other benefits?
FERS disability retirement
January 18th, 2014 | Creditable service: FERS Disability retirement EMPLOYMENT Military service deposits part-time RETIREMENT
Q. I work part time while on federal service. If approved for FERS disability retirement, I understand I can earn up to 80 percent of what was being earned by federal service. Does this take into account military retirement annuity, present earnings from my part-time job performed from home and the amount of the disability annuity? What is taken into account in determining wages/self-employment to ascertain reaching the 80 percent authorized amount?
FERS and Social Security disability
January 17th, 2014 | Benefits Disability retirement RETIREMENT SOCIAL SECURITY
Q. If a federal employee is eligible for retirement under both FERS and Social Security disability, can that employee, once retired, still work and earn up to $1,000 or $1,100 per month (whatever the maximum is), which is what an SSDI recipient may earn without jeopardizing his or her SSDI benefits?
Military buyback and disability retirement
January 17th, 2014 | Disability retirement High-3 Military service deposits PAY RETIREMENT
Q. I served in the Army from June 1975 to July 1978 (three years). I started working for the Postal Service in June 1985 for a total of 28.5 years. I have applied for disability retirement (FERS). I would like to buy back my military years, thus I requested the RI 20-97 and have sent it out with my DD-214 and am waiting. Can I buy these years now in the middle of this disability retirement process? If so, how would this delay or hurt the process?
Disability retirement
January 16th, 2014 | Benefits Disability retirement RETIREMENT SOCIAL SECURITY
Q. A friend of mine left his federal job due to a knee injury. He says he hurt his knee on the job (I believe this is documented). He has been unemployed for about three years and collects Social Security benefits due to the knee injury. He did not know to put in for federal disability retirement. At this point, is there anything he can do to receive something from the government?
FERS disability
January 15th, 2014 | Creditable service: FERS Disability retirement EMPLOYMENT law enforcement Minimum retirement age RETIREMENT
Q. I have been recently awarded disability as a FERS law enforcement officer. Will my disability be canceled when I hit my minimum retirement age, or will it continue until I am 62 or have recovered, whichever is first?
FICA and CSRS (partial)
January 14th, 2014 | Creditable service: CSRS CSRS annuity computation Disability retirement RETIREMENT
Q. My SF-50 Block 30 is coded as a C (FICA and CSRS (Partial)). I would like more information about my current retirement status. How would I determine the amount of my deposit into my CSRS before I retire? (When I left government, I took a refund of my CSRS contributions.) If the whole amount is paid back, would I get my retirement with full benefits?
Also, what would happen if I leave the federal government because of medical condition (disability) before I retire? How would that affect my disability amount if the redeposit is not fully paid? Would that put me in partial disability status?
FERS disability retirement
January 14th, 2014 | Creditable service: FERS Disability retirement FERS annuity computation RETIREMENT
Q. I'm a 66-year-old FERS employee. I have 33 years of creditable service and have paid back seven years of military service. I can retire with a disability. I have rheumatoid arthritis and take chemotherapy. Which will earn me more retirement money: retire with a disability or regular retirement?
Reapplying for disability retirement
January 13th, 2014 | Disability retirement RETIREMENT
Q. Two years ago, I had applied for disability retirement based on my medical inability to perform the duties of my job. While my application was pending, my agency located another position which fully accommodated my medical condition. I formally withdrew my application as a result of this accommodation.
My medical condition has progressively worsened over the past two years, and I am now becoming unable to perform the duties of my current position. Is it possible to reapply for disability retirement? If so, does the entire process need to be redone, or can I contact the case worker who was working on my original application with updated medical documentation? Will they look at my prior application if I need to start from scratch, or would I need to resend all of the prior medical documentation that was already sent?
Applying for disability retirement

Q. I work for the Postal Service and am thinking about applying for disability retirement, but I'm not sure they approve it for severe migraine headaches. How do I apply for it?

One of my first blog posts was on a look I tried out in preparation for a photo-shoot. If you're a fan of Avant Garde / Glossy Gothic then this is ideal for you! Created all of it using a £1 eyeshadow from Superdrug!
This is a 'Wet Look' glossy eyed makeup I tried out on myself in preparation for a future shoot. I will upload a video of it for you to see.
The idea was to create a look using minimal products. So I used one eyeshadow for the main features in this look - Eyes, contouring & lips.
I used a £1 eyeshadow from MUA Cosmetics which can be purchased from Superdrug.
- I applied Revlon Photo Ready Foundation
- For my brows I used Maybelline Gel Liner to shape them
- I took an MUA eyeshadow in Black and mixed it with a Clear lipgloss & applied that to my eyelids
- Next I applied a Black Kohl liner from MAC to my waterline and just under the lower lash line for a dramatic look
- Using the Black eyeshadow from MUA again, I used a flat shadow brush and contoured the bridge of my nose. Then took a fluffy brush to blend
- With the same eyeshadow, I used a blusher brush and heavily defined my cheekbones. I used my fingers to blend the excess, but you can use your foundation brush to sweep over and this will work perfectly
- I took an avon lip pencil in plum and lined my lips
- Using a lip brush, I mixed the Black eyeshadow and lipgloss again, and applied this to my lips, add an extra lick of gloss on top
- Then, using the same lip brush, I swept the mixture under my eyes for added drama
- Lastly, I took some EXTREME feather lashes and placed them along my top lash line!
Want Anna Kendrick's classic glam look from the Grammys? Here's everything you need to dazzle them all.
Yves Saint Laurent Beauté La Laque Spicy Collection Nail Swatches!
YSL is bringing out a collection of 7 limited edition polishes globally, themed around warm, exotic spices. Some of these trendy shades look a tad odd (mustard yellow and ginger) but warm tones are on point for S/S 2014, and they're actually quite flattering on.
The MVP of the collection is a gold flecked topcoat called Feuille D'or No 47. This top coat contains gold flakes in irregular sized pieces so it looks like real gold leaf, and goes on beautifully over all 6 of the other creme colors in the collection (and any creme polish you own).
The 6 other shades are:
- 41 Eau de Rose - pale ivory pink-toned beige. It's a beautiful, beautiful color, but because it's so pale, you will need at least 3 coats to to remove all streakiness. It's also the one shade that I find definitely prettier without the gold flakes.
- 42 Safran Sultan - the "it" shade of the moment. This odd mustard yellow looks better on than I thought it would, looking at it in the bottle. But the gold topcoat really brings this one to life and makes it much more wearable if you're not too sure about the shade.
- 43 Opulente Canelle - the foolproof rose-tan looks ordinary beside the other colors, but once on, it's extremely flattering and pretty. A nice warm twist on the usual neutrals! (Equally pretty with or without the gold topcoat.)
- 44 Ambre Gingembre - now this shade is hard to describe. It's a carroty orange with a touch of brown, and might look strange in the bottle, but this is anonther "it" shade. Another shade that I find slightly prettier without the gold flakes, but it's also deep enough that it looks lovely with the gold on.
- 45 Pimento D'allieurs - Deep rose red with a touch of plummy brown. This is a can't-go-wrong shade, but then it is also ironically probably the least distinctive in the collection. That said, it's so gorgeous and timeless that you can wear this anytime. If you're one to prefer the classics, this is a beautiful shade that I actually feel should be added to the permanent collection!
- 46 Poivre Noir - Deep, rich plum. It looks dull in the bottle, but gorgeous on the nails. One of my favorites from the line. There isn't really much to say other than that this is possibly my favorite color out of the entire collection.
These polishes are all incredibly smooth, with wide, rounded brushes so you can apply color to your nail with minimal strokes needed. If you want them to be talking points though, the gold topcoat is the way to go.
That said, if you're not a YSL varnish collector, then you probably want to just pick out the more unique shades or the ones that will go the extra mile. I would personally recommend 41 the pale pink-nude, 43 the rose tan, and 45 or 46 for some gorgeously glossy rich tones.
The La Laque Spicy collection launches at all YSL counters from Feb 2014.
A romantic affair.

The following cars represent the most technically advanced available.
The 2015 Lexus NX 200t's tech, amenities, and fuel efficiency stack fairly evenly with the competition, but its slight power advantage and unique styling push it above the class average.
Pricing not available
Excellent app integration with the cabin tech suite and excellent fuel economy are high points for the 2014 Lexus CT 200h, but it needs more power to justify its F Sport tuning and looks.
With its new appearance, 2014 Lexus GX 460 is a competent full-size luxury SUV, but its powertrain and dashboard tech could also use an update to keep up with the competition.
With its F Sport trim package, the 2014 Lexus CT 200h looks fast and handles well, but the hybrid driveline is more focused on fuel economy than speed.
The 2014 Lexus LX 570 blends the off-road pedigree of the legendary Land Cruiser with on-road comfort and manners befitting its luxury Lexus badge.
The 2015 Lexus RX 350 remains a comfortable, easy-driving SUV with a great amount of space, but its features, especially in the driver-assistance category, fall behind those of the competition.
The 2014 Lexus RX 450h isn't a sexy choice, but it is a strong performer and a comfortable luxury cruiser with one of the quietest power trains in its class.
Lexus maintains its winning formula with the RX 350 luxury SUV, adding a few tech options but keeping big changes at bay.
Lexus' luxury SUV has changed little over the years, preserving the qualities that make it popular but falling behind the competition.
One of the advantages that the 2014 Lexus RX 450h offers is a whisper-quiet power-train that doesn't skimp on available torque.

A bit out the way towards the 'rough end' but it was fine and was right by the shuttle bus stop to go down the strip. decent stay for the money.

I am most impressed with the room, mine is private twin, it's very clean and tidy, except the air con, too noisy to sleep. The first staff when I checked in seemed he did not want to talk much when I ask for bus info, not much helpful. However, another staff, when I checked out was very nice who helped us to get a good taxi to the airport. Location is good, in front of bus stop. Generally it's value for money. I definely will take it again.

With the new Star Trek movie coming to Blu-Ray next week it only seems slightly appropriate to post on this StarShip Enterprise Chandelier. Embracing a kind of cool, kind of cheap design aesthetic, this unofficial Star Trek light might end up looking better in your workshop rather than your dining room.
All this awesomeness can be yours for only $189. Does anyone think this is cool? Shatner?

Just made a short stop to gas up the buses before heading the Topeka and Wal-Mart. So, time for another story:
The Morehead bug caught a number of people while we were in Denver. By the time we left, we had hotel workers and others in MSU shirts singing our praises. For me, there were two guys who become Morehead fans that I will always remember. They are from Colorado, and sat next to me during the Louisville game. Although one of them had a daughter going to school at Louisville, they were cheering for MSU! They also cheered for us in the Richmond game. They came down tonight, and were very complimentary of us! Spreading the word about MSU one person at a time!!!
Thanks to all of the students, faculty, staff, and athletes, that is an easy song to sing!
MUCH MORE later....

This is my entry for RealFaction's "necromancer theme" (a.k.a. Simple Sight) remix contest. I found it extremely difficult to master this, and I'm still not 100% pleased with the result, but I'm glad with the way the composition itself turned out. Instead of making it sound like video game battle music, I decided to give it a sort of 'story telling' feel to it instead. Of course, how that story goes, is for you to decide =)
As some of you may know, the original was also used in the game Castle Crashers, so be sure to check that out if you haven't already! Also, you can find the original music here: http://www.newgrounds.com /audio/listen/120136
Misc. info:
Software used: Cubase 5
Tempo in bpm: 180
Time signature: 4/4
Key signatures: A# minor, C# minor
Hope you guys like it! As always, feedback is much appreciated ;)
Woo, featured! Thanks for listening you guys =)
Rated 5 / 5 stars April 9, 2014
This was amazing, not only did the tone change at just the right parts, the very first part contrasting with the "chorus" of sorts made this song kick ass
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! I enjoy writing music that has a certain 'story' to tell, so that's why I decided to go with a bit more contrast than one would usually expect from video game music :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars December 10, 2013
If they ever made a Second Castle Crashers game, They should make this theme for the return of the necromancer. It would be Epic!!! :D
I would be very honoured if that happened! Thank you for your kinds words!
Rated 5 / 5 stars October 19, 2013
It sounds so freaking epic! good work!
Thanks! :)

Need a plumber?
Make Sure You See A License: Once you have a few job references it is important to ensure that they are indeed licensed. All licensed plumbers should have their license on hand at all times. Simply ask to see the license. If they do not have it with them or become hesitant when asked this is not a plumber you want to hire.
Obtain a Minimum of Three Estimates: Every plumbing company will have no problem providing potential customers with a detailed estimate. Once you have a few options narrowed down start collecting your estimates. As a potential customer you want to know what you will be paying beforehand. Estimates also gives you the opportunity to compare prices and choose the best deal without comprising quality of work.
Check With the BBB: Before making your final decision check with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to see if your Lincoln, NE plumber is licensed and legitimate. You can also check for credentials as well as existing issues. This can be done online or by phone.
Written Contract: Once you have selected the right plumber get a written contract. A written contract is crucial because it states what work is going to be done in addition to price and the time frame. Be sure to keep a copy for your records just in case a problem presents itself.

In search of lost disincentive effect from intra-industry spillovers
AbstractStandard innovation surveys do not consider incoming spillovers for non-innovative firms. The Swiss innovation surveys presented here measure the importance of competitors' knowledge for both innovating and noninnovating firms. This original feature not only enables us to accurately identify the role of incoming knowledge on R&D decisions and innovation output, but also to compare resulting data with those which standard innovation questionnaires provide. Using a panel data over four periods, we show that knowledge from rivals actually deters manufacturing firms from engaging in R&D activities. Moreover, we provide stronger evidence that intra-industry spillovers are more detrimental to innovation than that generally provided by data from standard surveys. The results suggest that the dominance of the absorptive capacity effect is more important to firms investing in R&D and that non-innovative firms rely more heavily than expected on their competitors to maintain their technological capacities.

i am 5'4" for all those who are curious
please ask questions through here
Hi guys
Sorry for all the late responses to messages and such.. I don't check this blog very often >_< as I am no longer dieting nor making any other altercations to my body xD
if you have questions please visit my inmemoryofmybrokenheart.tumblr.com and ask your questions there ^_^
Anonymous I love you <3'
Anonymous I heard that once you get the double eyelid surgery done, you have to go back for "touchups" a few years later. Is this true?? Did your doctor say anything about that? I want the surgery but don't want to keep needing to go back.
Erm…in some cases, they might have to do it again because it 'unravels' but in terms of jeol-gae surgery, there isn't a lot of instances in which that occurs!
Anonymous idk if it's because of ur makeup but it doesn't show ur eyelids. do u like the results?
I am very very happy with the results, and my make up does make the entire look more natural but I'm not sure what you mean by it doesn't show my eyelids? You can't see the fold?
Anonymous 절개법isn't natural looking. I'm sure you can tell the difference easily even by strangers cus it's super obvious. they literally cut your eyes. did it hurt?
well..it does look pretty natural to me… no one can tell that I got surgery! Even my friends didn't notice until I told them… lol
Well, of course it hurt, but the pain is seriously not as bad as I thought it'll be
Work Out Diet Start Over
Okay. I'm starting my diet/work out over again since it's summer and all and I have to go to Kaskade's concert and the beach and New York with my boyfriend in roughly four weeks. So I'll be down to 110 lbs or less by that time.
Exercise: (my descriptions for these exercise aren't supposed to make sense, as I don't know the technical terms for them, just for me)
Treadmill for 30 minutes
Ab work out/dance (wave and side rotation): 2 songs each
Bicycle crunch: 2 songs
Leg cycle and leg lifts (lying down): 2 songs
Hip lift/ab work out: 2 songs
Leg lifts (standing) and toe-ups: 2 songs each

Anonymous I've been considering getting surgery on my eyes for a very long time and I was wondering which specific place you went to in Korea for your operation? I've been trying to read and see people's opinions (those who have gotten eyelid surgery at clincs) online, so that I know where not to go and places that have given good results (as well as prices). :DD
I went to Bu-pyeon, Incheon, South Korea at TOP Plastic Surgery (부편 인천) Since I, my sister, and my cousin got it all from there, I would say that I really like the results! If you can read/understand Korean, just search it through google? But usually, just ask people that have gotten it done, they'll usually the ones that will give better opinions.
I know I'm not fat. I never was and I'll never will be. I'm quite the average sized girl, smaller than most, but not tiny.
I've been gaining weight and blubber for the past few months mainly because of terrible diet choices: college life ftw. I really can't help it.. it's either eat the fat-ridden food that will get me obese, or starve. And I like food. I'd rather not starve, thank you very much.
I just miss being FIT. Having ABS. Being able to wear shorts and know that my legs are TONED. Waving my arms in the air and not worry about jiggling.
I miss being healthy..
AboutHI, I'm Christina :)
This is my diet/workout/"altercations"/relationships blog :)

Kanye West tweeted about abortion and called women gold diggers for getting pregnant "on purpose." Kanye West is known for his shockingly insightful statements about life (HA) and this will likely be filed in that illustrious pile of nonsense.
West Tweeted early this afternoon:
"An abortion can cost a ballin' nigga up to 50gs maybe a 100. Gold diggin' bitches be getting pregnant on prupse. #STRAPUP my niggas!" It ain't happen to me but I know people."
Ok – what is this supposed to mean, exactly? As many have already joked, does Kanye West only go to designer abortion clinics? Or does he pay them that much for shut-up money? And men can hardly blame women if they were having unprotected sex to begin with, right? STRAPUP, indeed!

Nokia-Siemens Spy Tools Aid Police Torture in Bahrain | Threat Level | Wired.com
Spy tools sold and maintained by German communications and engineering giants Siemens and Nokia Siemens Networks are being used by authorities in Bahrain to aid in their interrogation and torture of human rights activists, according to Bloomberg.
The systems are currently sold and installed by Trovicor, a business whose activities initially began in 1993 as a unit of Siemens' voice- and data-recording division. In 2007, the unit became part of Nokia Siemens Networks, a joint venture between Siemens and Finland's Nokia Oyj. In March 2009, NSN sold the unit, then known as Intelligence Solutions, to Perusa Partners Fund — in part to distance NSN from the controversial surveillance business and the potential it posed for human rights abuses. Perusa renamed the company Trovicor, though the equipment and most of the workers remained the same as prior to the sale.
In 2009, NSN and Trovicor came under fire after The Wall Street Journal reported that the equipment was used by Iranian authorities to crack down on protesters involved in civil unrest following the country's disputed presidential elections. An NSN spokesman defended the sale of the equipment to Iran at the time, saying the company provided the technology for "lawful intercept" purposes, such as combating terrorism, child pornography, drug trafficking and other criminal activity.
The news prompted hearings in the European Parliament as well as a "No to Nokia" consumer boycott campaign.

Bumpas named Sports Network Preseason All-American
By HEATHER KENNEDY
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. -- Despite missing the final six games of the 2012 season with an injury, Northern Colorado senior linebacker Clarence Bumpas still has earned the respect of the national media.
Bumpas (Colorado Springs) on Monday earned a Second Team honor on the 2013 The Sports Network FCS Preseason All-America Team after registering 49 tackles through the first five games of 2012, which still ended the season as the fourth-most on the club. He also had three tackles for loss, one quarterback sack, one interception and one quarterback hurry during those five contests.
Eleven players on the preseason first team were selected to the 2012 FCS All- America first team which was announced last December. Another 24 from the second and third teams are back as well, marking the second straight year in which 35 players returned to the following season's preseason team.
Bumpas is one of 15 Big Sky Conference selections to the team, tied for second-most among leagues, trailing only the 17 picks from the Missouri Valley. The Southern Conference also had 15 amongst the three teams.
Bumpas had at least eight tackles in each of the first five games in 2012, notching double figures in three of the five. He also had 12 or more tackles in the final nine games of the 2011 season and was on the 2012 Buck Buchanan watch list.
