Thread: Senior Prom
01-18-2001, 01:17 PM #21FFTrainerFirehouse.com Guest
I might be a little late too, but what the hell, better late than never....
We do this about every 4 - 5 years for Prom season. Other groups I spoke to found that it waiting the years in between you were getting turn over on the students so that you weren't showing the same kids, the same thing each spring. Looks like it keeps a little higher level of interest.
My one suggestion is to use students as 'victims.' We have the school principal round up a bunch of students. He generally chooses a representative from the various 'clicks' at the school. He gets the star athlete, the cheerleader, the student council president and so on. This way you stand a better chance of reaching more people with your message since it is their friend in there.
We generally set it up with kids hitting head on into a family (baby included) with a student laying face on the hood partially ejected. We have a good kit of fake wounds including an amputated hand which really squirts 'blood' -- It seems to be those things, the props, that get the attention. We will generally have at least one fatality, usually the one on the hood so everybody sees the pronouncement by the ME and sees a sheet put over him.
If you work far enough in advance, we found that we were even able to schedule our local air medical helocopter to make an appearance.
If you put the time and energy into it, it is a rewarding experience. We have even found that it helps the membership drive for both the juniors program and it actually has gotten a couple of parents and teachers to enroll.
All and all it's a good experience not to mention good training for your members.
Good Luck!

You guy's are not to late. Our committee just had our second meeting. This presentation is called "Shattered Dreams" and it sounds a lot like the feed back I am getting. I have been placed as the Team Leader of the "Mock Crash Team." I have read all the replies and found a lot of good info that will help us in this endeavor.
Just an update on where we are. The school board has decided to hold this program during "Alcohol Awareness Week" in November instead of before prom as we had hoped. They said there was testing already scheduled then and when we do the program in two years they will make the time then. We will be doing the "Every 15 Minutes" with this presentation, and from a suggestion earlier we plan to use a few kids to demo some of the more common injuries. The kids that will be in the wreck have all been convicted of alcohol related charges and hand picked by the Municipal Judge. The principal at the school is working on the kids names for the Every 15 Minutes and will try to pull at least one of the student from each group. We have already decided that the Captain of the football team will be a quadriplegic. I already have the commitment from the locate helo to be there, and they will try the drunk teenager in the Municipal Courtroom and broadcast it in to the schools on close circuit TV
That is about as far as we have made it so far. Please keep the input coming as the program is in the early planning stages yet and your suggestions will help.

As I recently graduated high school myself, in 1999, it was my personal experience that pictures do help get the message across. But just flashing pictures will not do the job. You must provide hard facts with these images. Facts such as the lifestyles the kids lived, who are in the pictures. This will help the audience relate their lives to the incidents, and make them think twice about their actions. I think another way of approaching this is to get the kids to have some kind of hands on experience. This might include having some students volunteering their time in an ER or a FD and bringing back their experiences to their peers.

Our volly dept up here in Canada along with MADD, the RCMP and the local EMS staged an accident directly in front of the local high school 2 min. before the lunch hour. The accident was a high speed drivers side tbone 1 person the passenger of the offending car was ejected trough the windshield and was DOA the driver of same car was impaired,cuffed and taken by police. 2 patience were extricated from the other car 1 unconscious, the other very vocal and combative. We used the drama 30 students for victims and they were assisted by a trauma room nurse to put on makeup and did a great job. We also had support people in place mingling amongst the students that had gathered to watch. This was done because of the realistic nature of the exercise. These people took the students aside toward the end of the scene and assured them that this was just an exercise. There were students that were visibly shaken when they saw that the DOA was some one they knew. The whole exercise was topped off when STARS (shock trauma air rescue society) flew in and took the unconscious patience (switched in the back of an ambulance with one of the air crew for liability reasons) and lifted off in a snow storm. That afternoon a number of us went to the school and presented the participating students with a certificate of appreciation for their part in the exercise, and fielded questions from the students. It was in our opinion, a great success because there was not a single mva involving any students from the grad partys that happened that spring. Our dept. plans to do this exercise every three years because we believe that it does have an impact on the students of our community.

James, Give Guy Benson with Austin EMS a call. I believe me is still head of the DWI awareness program, and can help you with the "Shattered Dreams" program that you are looking at. I know Lockhart is planning one of these, not sure of the date though.

Preparing Children for Emergencies
Parents can help children stay safe by beginning safety lessons early and providing opportunities for children to practice them often. Games, activities, toys, and role-playing can make learning fun while teaching children how to behave in emergency situations.
According to SAFE KIDS AMERICA, the number one health risk for America's young kids is accidental injuries. Each year, approximately 6,700 kids ages 14 and under die from injuries sustained in accidents, and more than 50,000 are permanently disabled. This year alone, one in four (about 13 million) children age fourteen and younger will be hurt seriously enough to require medical attention.
The major injury risk areas are: traffic injury (passenger, pedestrian and bicyclist), fire and burns, drowning, poisoning and choking, and falls. Parents can help protect their families from these injuries with some simple steps.
Begin with the Basics
It is important to teach children their basic personal information so if they become separated from a parent or guardian they can identify themselves and get help. Basic information includes questions such as:
- What is your full name?
- What is your address?
- What is your phone number?
- What is your parent's work number?
"Some kids would be ready to start memorizing this sort of information as early as age 2-1/2, but most kids would not be ready until well after their third birthday," says Andy Spooner, MD, MS, FAAP, Associate Professor, and Director, Division of General Pediatrics, Department of Pediatrics, University of Tennessee College of Medicine, Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center, in Memphis.
"If you have a really verbal child, take advantage of this talent and get them started on it early. Otherwise, try to remember to put this info in a discreet place on diaper bag tags, bookbags, blankets, and any other object that your child is likely to travel with. Iron-on paper for inkjet printers works great for this kind of labeling," Spooner says.
Teaching Kids to Respond
Learning about safety can be a fun, educational, and lifesaving activity. Around the ages of three to six, it is important that children learn to successfully dial their home telephone number and Emergency 911 for safety reasons. A fire, an accident or sudden illness involving a parent or caregiver and other situations are just some of the emergency situations that warrant that children be able to make a phone call home or dial 911.
According to EMS Illinois, children should first be able to recognize the numbers on the phone and be able to point to them. This should be practiced regularly. Many kids like to play with a real phone or cell phone. You can disconnect the phone for a few minutes to practice the numbers once a week or so.
Also, it is important to stress that 911 is a number used only in extreme emergencies and then explain to the child what these emergencies are.
Parents and school teachers can help children age three or younger trace emergency 911 and their home phone number and to practice the dialing procedure. First practice 911 until that is mastered, then move on to practice the telephone number. To reinforce teaching of these numbers, parents can also:
- Bake cookies using number cookie cutters to practice the telephone number and 911.
- Make a 911 and/or My Telephone Number Banner and display it in bedroom or near the phone.
- Put a sticker on the toy phone with 911 and the telephone numbers so the child can practice and view the numbers frequently.
- Decide on a secret password that only each parent and the child know, which would indicate to the child he should make a call to 911.
- Role play with children as to what they should do if a parent is suddenly sick or injured.
Children can also learn about emergency service through music, videos, and coloring activities and websites. Many schools and local police and fire departments have coloring books that teach about 911 and emergency response, and some libraries offer multi-media for teaching emergency safety.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I find that Auctionator handles this problem quite well.
You search for "inferno ruby" and it first lists all search results that match that search. So you'll see "Inferno Ruby", "Delicate Inferno Ruby", "Bold Inferno Ruby", etc. Then you click which one you really wanted to search for. So if you only want the uncut gems, just click on plain "Inferno Ruby". It will then only list those gems, sorted in order of buyout price.
This feature is also useful if you're not sure what gem you want for a slot. Say you want a purple gem, just search for "demonseye". It will then list all available cuts of Demonseye in the first search. You can hover over each to see what bonuses come from each cut. It also lists the lowest price available at this point if you want to factor that into your gem purchase decision. Then just click the cut you want and you'll only see a list of prices for that specific cut.

Roadblocks and Guardrails for Visionaries
I love visionaries, and Nick was a visionary. In fact, Nick's enthusiasm and love for the Lord were contagious; he was a great impetus to the vision of the church. But Nick was coming up with a different idea each week.
One week he walked into my office with an idea how we could reach all the Vietnamese refugees in our city. Two weeks later he was wanting to sponsor a World Vision hunger campaign with our young people. The next week he was ready to take a group to Haiti to help construct a hospital. Nick wanted to do it all, and in fact, many of his programs were effective. But he burned out many people in the process and rolled over anyone who did not agree with him—including me.
The term administration is a confining word for a visionary; it seems to limit the Holy Spirit. Visionaries prefer spontaneity and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead. They say too much administration hinders the Spirit and limits the vision of the church. In short, they consider administration and vision contradictory.
It is refreshing to work with someone who wants to move. But with two or three visionaries like Nick, the church can become spastic—jerking and groping this way and that without any real direction.
How do you manage a visionary? How much freedom do we give the youth group, for instance, to have its own dreams and then act on them? How do we allow other groups in the church to have their own authority for making decisions without creating church-splitting issues?
This tension reminds me of the faculty member who told his colleagues in a leading university, "The state legislature has always granted us complete academic freedom here, and if we don't do what they want, they are going to take it away from us."
Pastors stand in the middle of a tension. We want visionaries to make decisions and carry them out; on the other hand, we want to have some sense of control. Our fears of either too much or too little control often cause us to set up unconscious roadblocks that hinder the work of the Holy Spirit and limit our visionaries.
In order to allow both freedom to experience the gifts of the Spirit through the visions of our people and to establish some guidelines to keep our direction sure, I've discovered two roadblocks that must be eliminated and two guardrails that must be erected.
Roadblock 1: My Way Is Best
Being a former youth pastor has its benefits. I get to speak at occasional youth meetings; people respect my experience and ask for my advice. There is, however, one major drawback: I have to keep reminding myself that the way I did it may not be the best way.
There have been times when our youth sponsors have an idea that, because of my vast experience, I know will fail. I don't want to discourage them when they are so excited, and because I know we learn through failures, I grant them my blessing. Many times, however, much to my surprise, they see fantastic success.
One example is the way young people report back to the church after a camp or mission experience. I ...

Greek debt suicide sparks Athens protests
Today, in Syntagma square, just next to the Greek parliament, a 77 year old man shot himself in the head. His last words, according to passers-by, were "I don't want to leave a debt on my children". Since this morning, people have swarmed around the tree, next to which the man took his own life, leaving notes and silently honoring his memory.
His suicide note reads:
"The Tsolakoglou government has annihilated all traces for my survival, which was based on a very dignified pension that I alone paid for 35 years with no help from the state. And since my advanced age does not allow me a way of dynamically reacting (although if a fellow Greek were to grab a Kalashnikov, I would be right behind him), I see no other solution than this dignified end to my life, so I don't find myself fishing through garbage cans for my sustenance. I believe that young people with no future, will one day take up arms and hang the traitors of this country at Syntagma square, just like the Italians did to Mussolini in 1945"
(Note: Tsolakoglou was the first collaborationist prime minister during Germany's occupation of Greece during the Second World War and the 77-year-old man compared the currently assigned prime minister Papademos to the traitor Tsolakoglou.)

MANHATTAN Range - Everything superb apart from delivery arrangements.At the time of purchase I was warned that my sofa was not the sort that could be dismantled and that I must make sure my doorways were wide enough for delivery.I measured all access routes and because the door openings were narrower than the furniture dimensions in the catalogue, I arranged for a window company to be present on the delivery day to remove and then replace my patio doors. When the furniture arrived the delivery men laughed and said that even the largest piece would fit easily through my door openings. This was because the dimensions given are inclusive of the back cushions, but without them the size of the frame alone is considerably less. I am disappointed that I was not given all the information I needed in order to check whether my new purchases could be delivered and consequently I paid for someone to remove the patio doors unnecessarily. The delivery itself was excellent with a telephone call one hour before arrival and polite, efficient men who installed the furniture in my lounge before leaving.
MANHATTAN Range - Very helpful.

MANHATTAN Range - Delighted with the sofa we chose.
MANHATTAN Range - Quality product/ nicely finished
MANHATTAN Range - Very helpful advice
MANHATTAN Range - The furniture in itself is quite comfortable but I don't recall that my feet failed to touch the floor when I sat on the samples in the showroom, mine seems much higher. I want to add that I was quite surprised and disappointed in my furniture as it looks much bigger than I expected which is inevitable I suppose when you are choosing furniture displayed in such a big space, and I did take this into consideration when choosing. Smaller room size displays would help with this problem ( eg such as in Ikea)

MANHATTAN Range - Arm covers are not particularly good fit for the furniture.
MANHATTAN Range - As above
MANHATTAN Range - The sofa is really comfortable and goes well with the Alpine chairs to give a less formal look in our lounge
MANHATTAN Range - made a bad choice on this design of furniture at great expense
MANHATTAN Range - V. pleased, looks good
MANHATTAN Range - Very comfy. Lovely fabric.
MANHATTAN Range - We are disappointed in the arm covers as whenever we sit in the chairs or sofa they move and get wrinkled
MANHATTAN Range - Non pressured friendly and knowledgable sales staff
Manhattan Range - 5 star quality, who could ask for more!
MANHATTAN Range - Great Choice
Manhattan Range - We found your staff at the Sutton branch to be excellent in helping us purchase our furniture and also arranging with delivery earlier than expected. I will recommend Multiyork to friends and family.
MANHATTAN Range - I am delighted with my new sofa and armchair the quality and comfort of the furniture is excellent.
MANHATTAN Range - Looks smart and is comfortable, just the footstall to come to complete the purchase.
MANHATTAN Range - Everything was great - advice and store personnel's knowledge of their product and attention to our requirements.
MANHATTAN Range - Good
MANHATTAN Range - Really pleased with they look fab
MANHATTAN Range - Just what we wanted
MANHATTAN Range - Comfortable
MANHATTAN Range - Very comfortable and good - ordered another one on the spot!
MANHATTAN Range - Generally they look great but some instructions on the assembly of the legs would have been helpful, as we did it ourselves, also one faulty metal part provided.
Also I would have expected some after-care advice such as booklet with information such as how to deal with spills or stains, washing instructions for covers, how to keep sofa looking at its best etc. Upholstering tool provided but no instructions as to how it should be used.
MANHATTAN Range - Lauren in the Exeter store knowledgeable and helpful
MANHATTAN Range - On the inside of sofa material seems very loose fitting, I haven't queried why that may be, for some thing hand made?? But generally very happy
MANHATTAN Range - It is the most comfortable sofa we have every purchased, its looks very understated and isn't really a wow factor but it gives us a basis to build the interior of our living room and add more colours, pieces etc we are happy
MANHATTAN Range - Everything perfect but the cushions at the back do not keep their shape as well as I had hoped.
MANHATTAN Range - Excellent service - very helpful and informative advice and a very patient salesman!
MANHATTAN Range - Comfy
MANHATTAN Range - Delivery on time and at a time to suit us.
MANHATTAN Range - Fits perfectly in the room and is very comfortable
MANHATTAN Range - Our Manhattan was almost custom built. The fact that we can change the covers over time gave us the confidence to choose a bold colour which looks stunning! Our only concern is with the quality of the padding of the back cushions. These cushions lack the definition needed for the clean lines of this range. They look as if they bulge in odd places and are not firm enough. We are hoping that this will settle as we use the furniture but will contact you for help if not.
MANHATTAN Range - Just as wonderful as we thought it would be.
MANHATTAN Range - Cheltenham store - very good manager and staff and helpful knowledge.
MANHATTAN Range - The staff were particularly helpful and friendly, with a very good knowledge of their product which made our choices much easier.
"Its great to talk to people who know what they are talking about."
MANHATTAN Range - Nice
MANHATTAN Range - good service
MANHATTAN Range - Very strongly built and comfortable with well fitting removeable covers. Excellent value for money when compared with other ranges elsewhere.
MANHATTAN Range - Excellent - we love them
MANHATTAN Range - I like the style of the sofa and it's comfortable. It could do with being just an inch lower, as it feels like a high seating position. It's great for stretching your legs out on.
MANHATTAN Range - I really like the Manhattan range (obviously as I bought it), however, I struggle at the chair / sofa seat depth, it is far too long and makes the chair/sofa uncomfortable at times. I wish you had offered it in two depths, for those over 6 feet tall and those under. Again in our small houses such deep sofa and chairs are not really practical, it would still have the same design impact and would have brought the desired comfort factor I was searching for.
MANHATTAN Range - Good service.
MANHATTAN Range - Too much choice of fabric led to confusion & staff weren't that familiar with all the range as it's so broad & had recently changed. Also delivery date options were limited.
MANHATTAN Range - Absolutely beautiful - have now ordered matching chair
MANHATTAN Range - Just what we wanted in the small space we have.
Very comfortable and stylish.
MANHATTAN Range - Sofa is lovely and comfortable, looks great and seems really well made. Very pleased.

If you've ever squeezed a packet or three of Heinz Fancy Ketchup into your mouth just for yumminess, I know then that you're a really fan of the stuff like I am. Gosh darn it's good. I'd eat a sneaker and/or a live cat if it was covered in ketchup. It's sweet, it's salty, it's bitter, it's sour -- it's a complex combination of the world's best tomato flavors and I'll be damned if it isn't universally delicious. If you ask me, there isn't any room for improvement, but Heinz would disagree.
They're rolling out a new, fancy-pants brand of ketchup infused with balsamic vinegar that will be more expensive and more exclusive. I don't know who at Heinz thought this was a good concept, but clearly he or she was wearing bad idea jeans. It's going to suck.
Here's the thing. We've all been to restaurants where they serve homemade ketchup and it's the worst. And we've probably all tried those pretty, ornamental, organic ketchups from the "farmer's" display at the end of the aisle in our grocery stores and we've all been more than just a little disappointed with them. Why? Because nothing can measure up to Heinz ... not even Heinz.
So why are they even trying? If my whiny rant isn't enough, you'd think Malcolm Gladwell's essay on why there can only be one ketchup in the world would dissuade the people at Heinz to try to improve on the un-improvable. But no. They're trying. And it will fail.
But if you're curious, their special balsamic vinegar ketchup will be in stores in late December, or you can order it and have it shipped to you starting in mid-November. It'll be a limited edition and only available through March, at which point Heinz will either pull it for good or keep it in stores.
While it's gotten good reviews, I think I'll stick to the tried and true flavor that I've loved for my entire life. Great. Now I need some ketchup. Stat. To my face. ASAP. Ketchup. Must. Get. Ketchup.
Will you try the balsamic vinegar-infused Heinz ketchup?

Probably not. I am happy they went back to using sugar as opposed to HFCS but otherwise they shouldn't mess with a good thing. Does anyone remember when they started making ketchup in colors in order to entice kids to use it? I am guessing my kids are like most kids, ketchup is the hidden part of the food pyramid.
I think it sounds interesting; I love balsamic vinager. I might try it out of curiosity. But then again, I prefer the Amy's brand of ketchup, so apparently my taste buds are out of wack or something...
I think it sounds like it could be pretty yummy! I'll try it.
And I love my organic ketchup, thank you very much. :P
Well they have a million different types of mustard, it is not surprising they would try and diversify ketchup. I do wonder if this isn't a bad time to be introducing more "upscale" ketchup though with the economy the way it is.
Vinegar IS like the second major ingredient in ketchup after the tomatoes.
I could see a malt vinegar having more appeal. (Fish and chips anyone?)
I could see it useful in cooking. There are lots of recipies where I add ketchup, but I wouldn't be dipping my fries i it.
THough this is no worse than when they had to blue and gree ketchup for kids.
Probably not.

Lithuania's opposition Labor Party leads in opinion polls less than two months before a parliamentary election, according to a survey by Prime Consulting for the Elta news service.
The Labor Party had 12 percent support in an Aug. 14-21 survey, Elta said today. Two other opposition parties, the Social Democratic Party and Order & Justice, ranked second and third with 11 percent and 10.4 percent backing. Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius's Homeland Union was fourth with 9.5 percent, the survey showed.
The poll didn't provide a margin of error. The election is scheduled for Oct. 14.

This is EXACTLY what the Bible Codes are not to be used for! Drosnin tries
to predict the future with them. At worst, they are a random deception. At
best, they can be used to see something AFTER it has happened. If you look
at the codes, you would see Netanyahu in the same string as something else
in equidistant letter sequences. Now, someone might be discussing Netanyahu
and NYC or it may be completely unrelated. To try to use them for future
predictions and being adamant that this is what they say is divination which
is forbidden. Beware of anyone trying to use them in this manner.

Today I discussed our Graduate Seminar curriculum focus: "Research Agenda 2020" with our department's Advisory Board - after I returned from New York this morning.
Julie, the lovely redhead in the blue blouse, and I discussed academic research findings in the area of retail marketing that the fashion industry could apply within the next eight years (2012+8=2020)
I arrived home at 9:50am with enough time to pull together my black pencil skirt by Bebe, black patent leather Bebe belt, with my striped neon blouse from LOFT (one of the Board members is a executive VP at Ann Taylor…see what I did there). I was indecisive about my H&M blazer, but committed once I had it on otherwise I'd expose my wrinkled blouse.
I'm coming down with a cold :(

My choice for the midterm presentations/ lunch at Vita Nova: 109°F printed dress, armani exchange cotton biker jacket, black tights, ALDO boots and Issac Mizrahi bag.

Like Tiffa said earlier, today has been a long day and looks like it will seamlessly transition into Tuesday as I put the final touches on my presentation for the Advisory Board Meeting. I'm looking forward to share my research with the industry folk.
Wish me luck!

Uncertain futures in the dynamics of territorial changes: when wetlands meet erosion processes
AbstractErosion has been a distress on anthropogenic activity since antiquity. The changes in spatial properties in coastal changes in wetland systems have had a constantly mutating morphology, often obliging economic activity to readapt itself to the geomorphological conditions. This has had a profound impact on a common territorial identity based on the land use processes of regions prone to geomorphological change. The case of fisheries in the Algarve for instance, where often local catchments would be a support for economic activity in Mediterranean regions, are a vision of economic and historical activity that has changed, not only due to economic transitions, but also due to availability of resources and natural phenomena such as coastal erosion. Wetland and coastal systems are coined with the existence of over 70% of all human activity, all of these intricate relations of environmental and socio-economic change occur at a spatial level and where economic activity is often present. The manifested physical effect on the geophysical and land changes is evident in the occurring consequences on land cover, but also on land use types and anthropogenic exploration of these areas. A deeper understanding of the changes occurring at territorial level simultaneously on the tendencies on coastal erosion, allow monitoring of most adequate actions in fragile regions. This paper proposes an integrated assessment based on spatial analysis and quantitative spatial methodologies as to allow a methodology of analyzing change, and studying the impacts registered in the valuable stretch of the Ria Formosa in Portugal

@therealGoku Oh, well i don't see why they wouldn't put a bit of both in the movie, mean the talking and action in the movie that i am sure will be in it.
2 years agoby @themoviefanaticFlag
@incmob When telling an origin story as intruiging as Superman's, good story is inherent. The source material is prrof enough of that. Supes is dealing with a lot of emotional issues and that is why he is such an interesting character. I think you can do that deep story and still show that this is an extremly powerful person. By immediatly throwing in Zod they are matching Supes with a man as powerful as he is but without out the moral restrictions that supes' human upbringing has afforded him. I think we are going to see a good and tight story with plenty of action.
@skywise I am hopeful for this film. aside from the cast, nolans production and david goyer's ability to take something from the pages of comics and giving it substance on the big screen (blade and batman), along with snyder directing (which has been a hit or miss), i feel this film will certainly give us a film with depth, and action... however, i think the pressure is on. fans are worried. Not only is there pressure from fans, and the studio, but there is pressure for property of "superman" to make this actually work on screen. Personally what gives me some hope is that WB knows where they have messed up. Although i loved the homage of SR to the donner films, it wasnt done right for what the fans wanted to see, as proof from the new films trailer showing action (almost to appease the fanbase), and not supes flying around and lifting up cars, and romanticizing lois lane, unlike superman returns. but... like you said @skywise not just the action the fans want to see... BUT A GOOD STORY as well. if not, i think fans will be breaking out the pitch forks, and torches, and their faith will lessen of everyone involved in this film.
@therealGoku I think that this is going to be much more action oriented than you might think. Everything I have read has led me to believe this is the supes movie we've been waiting...which would indicate good story and background and lots of action.
Least Crowe looks like Crowe in his action figure

As independent operators, car dealers would not necessarily sell the Model S in the manner Tesla would want, potentially tarnishing Tesla's reputation and impacting its business.
As several states side with auto dealerships and ban direct-to-consumer car sales, three top FTC officials call the laws "protectionist" and "bad policy."

"I am thrice homeless, as a native of Bohemia in Austria, as an Austrian among Germans, and as a Jew throughout the world. Everywhere an intruder, never welcomed."
— Gustav Mahler
"Wouldn't you just die without Mahler!?"Austrian composer and conductor (7 July 1860 �- 18 May 1911), one of the last of the Romantic era.He mostly restricted his output to symphonies and song cycles. Mahler once remarked that "the symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything." No wonder then that his symphonies work on a larger scale than anything previously conceived: some of them have elaborate philosophical programs, like his Symphony no. 3 which, like Richard Strauss' tone poem, is based on Nietzsche's Also Sprach Zarathustra. Mahler continually specified larger orchestras and more esoteric instruments; the culmination of this is his Symphony No. 8, which requires a ridiculously large number of musicians: double orchestra, an organist, eight vocal soloists and three choirs. Not surprisingly, then, it is often called the "Symphony of a Thousand".He seems to have been fond of complaining that people did not understand his angst, and his works can sometimes be a little obtuse.Nonetheless, they are still considered powerful and emotionally affecting pieces of music. Many of his works, such as his Second and Fifth Symphonies, start out with a despairing and anguished tone that darkens even further throughout the work, only to work their way to a profoundly triumphant and joyous ending.He is sometimes viewed as a transitional figure between the romantic era and the early modern era of classical music (particularly German Expressionism), much the way that Beethoven can be viewed as a transition between the classical and romantic eras. Mahler was a major influence for Arnold Schoenberg and his students. In particular, the way that Mahler begins to dissect tonality in his 9th symphony and the parts of the 10th that he did manage to finish — this leads directly to the 12 tone system that Arnold Schoenberg pioneered.Mahler died before he could complete his Tenth Symphony. Interestingly, he had feared exactly this: he believed in the "Curse of the Ninth", which states that a composer has to die after completing his/her ninth symphony, as had happened to Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert* , Anton Bruckner* , and Antonin Dvorak* , and as later happened to Ralph Vaughan Williams. Mahler tried to subvert the Curse by not numbering Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth). This would have been his ninth symphony* , making the Ninth his actual 10th. It seems the Curse of the Ninth only goes after numbered symphonies...Fans of Tom Lehrer will recognize him as the first husband of Alma Mahler Gropius Werfel.

Howdy, pretty new around here, lurking for a bit though, been some awesome stuff around here. Normally i'm pretty shy about showing my work, embarressed about it.
Im 15 and from Toronto.
Lately ive swayed towards the idea of taking a hobby further, so i've been drawing more and more, while learning and enjoying it. What i want to acomplish is:
1. To get great anatomical accuracy
2. Fix bad drawing habbits
3. Get better at using photoshop
4. Learn to draw portraits
5. Figure out how to put clothes on the figure (punches himself for not doing this before so hes gunna focus on it soon)
Anyways a start to my SB with some crazed variety.
I finished the dog and messed with the ball in PS, I had a couple hit and miss sketches here. I need to fix my hairy lines.

More to come, probably today.
Alrighty another update heres some fun stuff
The first image is maybe a week old but it was my first good study so i decided to put it up
2.I drew this one up late last night, im proud of how clean my lines were on the sketch in the topleft corner, although they got sketchy again.
3. I drew this from real life, its not clean *sigh* but the kid is sittin drinkin a juice box w/ his arm by his head.
4. just a fun pic of a pose that popped into my head. Some anatomy/perspective issues.

Some nice work up there. You might draw more from interior to exterior with your figures to clean or eliminate some of that messy contour. Also, relax.

Listing-Thanks for stopping by man, i am kinda tense and energized when i draw and i really will try to relax, and its a funny coincidence that you said start from the inside out because im starting some bone studies!
BTW ur stuff is cool, ill comment tomorrow
W00t STM got some books in the mail, im going to be studying peck's for a while now, the first pic is after taking a quick look and then trying to remember and drawing the skull at work.
The second one is me at home with the book next to me, the first two, front and side are copied from the book for reference, as you can see in my other two skulls i have some kinks to work out, mainly nasal pasage countours and how the bones look around the cheek area from different angles.
No update yesterday cuz i was hella tired, teaching kids without much experience is tough work.
Hey man! Thanks for stopping by my SB! Always nice to find people my age on CA.
Two main crits- Stop petting lines, and block things in so your poportions are right.
Petting lines is a really tough habbit to break, I still do it unconciously (or consiously too). Tyr drawing in sweeping strokes to get used to it. It also helps if sometimes you use pen or just don't erase so you force yourself to try and get the line right the first time.
As for proportions, Loomis has a great section on it if you haven't seen it. You stuff is usually right, but every now and then something is too small or a bit wonky.
Hope that helped, keep it up!

Pep Guardiola and Bayern Munich
Pep Guardiola and Bayern Munich
Pep Guardiola has not agreed nothing with anybody. It is a categorical, "no, not yet" from his camp. But rumours come out every day about where he will coach next. His agent said he will take a decision at the end of January or beginning of February. We are getting there. Yesterday, the latest rumour came from Germany –Pep, according to some stories, has agreed to join Bayern. His camp insist, "no! We are still leaving all the options open". But Bayern think they have convinced him in a 90 % and some German journalists have been briefed in that direction. There is still a 10 per cent left if that is true I would add. I hope they realise Pep is not the usual manager. He will think about his decision 100.000 times. And meetings with clubs are taking place (City have not approached him yet officially but will explain to him the project soon) because he wants to know where he stands, what they are offering. My question is, why does he need to decide yet? Because he needs to start working. He has had enough rest, enough days with nothing to do. He wants to open the computer and prepare next season with his next club. And timing here is crucial. There are only two clubs that can say to him now, go on, start planning, you will be our coach next –Chelsea and Bayern. The rest cannot take a decision yet, there is still lots to play for. Pep is a romantic and joining Bayern would fulfil many of his dreams. Raul has spoken to him very highly about the Bundesliga and has convinced him it is one of the strongest leagues in the world, one of the most entertaining… and he will probably win League and Cup without much effort if the club give him one or two top players, which they will. So he will start his career in another club winning almost for sure -which is what he wants. It makes a lot of sense to link Pep with Bayern and his people have spoken to the Bavarian club. But, categorically, no decision has been made yet

President Obama "evolved" on the issue of marriage equality for gays and lesbians for years, before he came out fully in support of it. Now, is he doing the same with marijuana legalization.
Like many progressives, I have been deeply disappointed in the Obama's administration response to medical marijuana legalization in many states. U.S. Attorneys have gone after medical marijuana growers at times and marijuana shops have been targeted by the Drug Enforcement Agency.
But, in an online profile in the New Yorker magazine, President Obama offered support for legalization. He stated, correctly of course, that marijuana isn't more harmful than alcohol. This is obvious, not too many bar brawls start off from two men smoking a marijuana joint. It is obviously less harmful, way less.
He also stated that poorer kids have less resources to "avoid unduly harsh" penalties. Agreed. The question is, why does his administration use precious resources of the Justice Department conducting raids on marijuana shops? I know, a President Romney would probably have be much worse. But Obama has been a huge disappointment on this issue.
President Obama, thanks, but please walk the walk, instead of just talking the talk.
Lastly, of course, you can support ending this absurd war on marijuana, by supporting the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) and the American Civil Liberties Union, in its' support of marijuana reform, among other issues.

They are dominated by couples and singles with some retired elements and family groups. They typically populate rural neighbourhoods, small towns and suburbs and are in most cases employed in white collar and manual trades. However we do see an incidence of individuals rising up the professional ladder. Levels of investment and credit risk are both lower than average.

News - Afghanistan
Afghan contractors have warned they will halt projects contracted with the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD) if rampant corruption of local officials asking for bribes from development projects does not stop.
Contractors working in multiple provinces of Afghanistan told a Kabul conference for road construction contractors that they are forced to comply with bribe requests or otherwise nothing would get done.
"Everybody rules their area. Provincial governors are rulers and their requests should be done otherwise not only would they not cooperate, but they would also cause problems for the projects," said Naqibullah, a ministry contractor.
"Where we work is about 60 hours of land-travel to Kabul. It would take at least two months for the problem to be reviewed. That is why we do what they ask to avoid disruption of work," said another contractor, Sher Mohammad.
The bribe demands come from every sector of power in the province, contractors told TOLOnews. District governors, police commanders, elders of tribes, and other powerful groups all ask for money where they can.
Wais Barmak, Minister of MRRD, said the government, including the Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Interior, is aware of the problem and is seeking ways to address it.
"This problem is present within all the infrastructure projects," he told the contractors. "We will collect documents and will send it to the president. If the local officials continue with this shameful act, there will be serious decisions taken against them."
It is believed that asking for bribes from development projects has become a lucrative source of income for some officials, so the government's attempts to stop it are facing strong resistance.
At the conference, the ministry and the contractors signed agreements for the implementation of nine road construction projects worth more than $3.8 million in provinces of Kapisa, Nangarhar, Badakhshan, Samangan, Jawzjan, and Baghlan.

My dad, your dad, his dad, her dad and all the other dads, they say why revolt! why change? who will replace them, who do u propose to replace them! they did good to the country "dad's say".
See the streets connecting Dongola now! we were traveling for days to reach our home land, now we are there in 6 hours => Tanmya wala ma Tanmya!!?? "Dad's say"
See the power! its all over Sudan now and we did study under "Lambat jaz" => Tanmya wala ma Tanmya!?
See what you have in the markets now! We tasted "Jelly" after rolled in to University => Tanmya wala ma Tanmya!?
I'm sure you all have your "Dad's sayings", but i have a unique dad O_o
My dad keeps hitting me with his political experience and talks about that agreement, this situation, that economical analysis and I cant reply. Why I can't reply!??????????????
Because I'm a doctor, i spend ALL my time studying, treating, searching new medical topics … etc.
I did not READ Nifasha agreement, i did not READ the OIL AGREEMENT, I did not read any of the other papers to have a clear view about my dad says and to reply to his mastered words "Dad is an economic consultant" so he has the right to tell me "Shut up" and don't argue things u HEARD.
Well, I confess you are right, and i thank you because you opend my eyes on my shortages. Yes i did not read all the papers but i have friends who breath politics, and they tell me whats between the lines and I trust them, but DAD says: Again, do not argue with things some1 told ya, they all lairs. Well, you are right again, not in that they are lairs, but in that i should do my home work and search for the truth myself and then come argue with you or with anyone else. But damn "allahoma eny sa2em" i have no time to be political and go read all that stuff, also I'm not interested in reading their bullshit words, i hate to read or search something i know from the bottom of my heart its bullshit.
So, i decided to stick to my own profession, and thats when i shut my dad up lol yeah, i'm a surgeon, a maxillofacial surgeon, i deal with broken jaws, faces, cut facial tissues and CANCER. i know how hospitals are run by #k_zan gagns, i witnessed patients die because of lack of medical facilities, i had patients who died because of lack of BEDS for God sake, i decided to stop working in Sudan because of that.
Now i have the upper hand in our argument, the president who let his ppl die inside hospitals is a MURDERER and needs to be hanged to death, full stop.
I hate K-Zan, I hate Basheir, I hate the Government and i'll revolt against all killers as long as i live.

Ok, First day here been, Reading the Post for years and playing with different things just to keep up on whats been going on. Now its time to pull the plug on Rogers and their bankrupting rates and with the laws changing on downloading I need to protect myself!So I'm in need of some direction based on these post over the many years, what are the best solutions today (DEC 2012).First I'm going Techsavvy for internet, I like the unlimited download and prices... I'm also 10 feet from the box, so my speeds should be no different then what they are now.... I'm also getting the SB6121 to go with it.I have Cisco ES3000, based on my reading flashing it to Tomato USB with Open VPN Client will be my best option for full LAN support and Security. I'm thinking usenet, or astraweb for my vpn servers. Though still not sure if unblock-us is ok to use.my FreeNas server works great as is so my media home media server works great. But I think I want hulu+ and US Netflex as well.I'm going to use my xbox for my main TV and buy some WD TV boxes for the small TVs, maybe look at making XBMC unit later...What am I missing, what am I wrong about, what are the best current Broadband Solutions for Canadians today?Thanks for any help in this matterShoei
Your plan sounds good to me!XBMC is great and our HTPC works very well with this software.
Tech Savvy has their own HTPC now? you have a link?
XBMC is great. You can also look at OPENELEC which is a bare metal version of xbmc, no need to install additional OS on the machine.»openelec.tv/

Abba-Oke: A Cautionary Tale
Alli and I come up with bits and games together all the time. When MSC Opas sent us some Mamma Mia tickets to give away, we decided to create a game JUST for these tickets.
To make sure fans of Abba/Mamma Mia got the tickets, we created a game that would appeal to TRUE superfans. Abba-Oke.
We play a clip of an Abba song and you sing the next line. Simple enough right? We thought so. However…
DAY 1: Song – Take a Chance on Me
Yeah…rough. So we tried to make it a little easier by giving everyone the song in advance. Should fix the problem, right?
DAY 2: Song – Gimme Gimme Gimme
So…attempt number three. We posted the SONG AND THE LYRICS in advance on this page.
SUCCESS!!!! Since it went so well, we're going to do the same thing today. Below are the times we will play Abba-Oke on tomorrow's show, the song associated with each play, and a link to that song's lyrical content. Good luck!!
