Women will soon be in charge
In 2009, statistical data shows that there were more females than males in the US. In 2012, more females were attending college and graduating than males. Divorce rate in US has remained constant at 50% and the overall birth rate is declining among Caucasians, it is increasing among Hispanics and Blacks and Asians. More females are entering the workplace than males according to the latest demographics from the US Census.
While there might be a general consensus among married males that they control all aspects of the family, it is oftentimes the opposite with the female controlling the budget and all purchases and decisions that the family makes which was just the opposite in my parent's generation.
Only women can give birth which seems a little too simplistic but artificial insemination techniques can be used to control whether or not the baby is male or female. And, while we are not at that stage in our development yet, there is a possibility that it could one day be the norm.
Throughout my 40 year career, I have worked for both female as well as male bosses, and I much prefer working for females. Why? Females do not take their position for granted. Females do not cut corners but are very thorough in all that they do. Females manage their time better because in addition to working they also must manage a household, whereas males tend to play golf and drink and watch TV after their workday is done.
There are also exceptions to my comments and right now there are more males in controlling positions than females, but the tide is slowing changing and soon the reverse will be true. This is especially true by the fact that more females are graduating from college than males...
Males will continue to have a dominate place in sports, movies, music, and the military where a college degree is oftentimes not required. But, in the business world, our lives are about to be fundamentally changed.
So, here's my question: Is this good or bad or are you neutral?

Jul 8 2013: Speaking of old religions:
Enjoy :)
It can add to the conversation.
Best wishes.
Jul 8 2013: Thanks, Adesh.
You mentioned old religions. In the video, there are people wondering what the meaning of Stonehenge is. When I was a child I visited a lot of similar circles as the Stonehenge, locally. My mother and father took me there and told me about all the world's religions.
It is about balance and equilibrium. It can be argued that such circles and people who built them were trying to tell us that. Equilibrium between genders, and this is what the conversation is all about.
I promise not to ramble about the Pi and infinity.
Best wishes.
The equilibrium and balance in the video is somewhat broken, but it shows some interesting points - cultural differences, problems concerning communication, greed but also - that it can work well!
I live in a different country than you - different cultures, different traditions - but let us talk :)
Best wishes again :)

We are invited to the Queen's ball, I mean like the royal Queen. It must like some sort of important news, or maybe she just couldn't get enough of me. No one can resist Harry. I wiggle my eyes in front of the mirror
Lou walks in with Lux in one hand and her mini kit of makeup in the other hand. I help her out and keep Lux busy. I showed her a bunch of silly faces, but she's not having any of me. I sighed in defeat and stole her scooter. I hear her trying to pronounce my name "Haweh, scoo-" I was out the door by then.
I honestly felt bad for stealing her scooter, but it was for godly reasons, Vine. I called for Niall and he appeared we fooled around with her scooter and made a new creation. 'Haven't got my license yet, Ouch.' And 'Niall on his way to X games'
It was sensational, because it was a hit with our fans. I returned the scooter to Lux, and she punched me in the arm.
But I dare say, "That didn't hurt" and walked away. Only to come across the devil, she had a strict aura about her that silenced even Lux, who was now quiet fiddling her fingers in her mouth.
"So, had your pick yet?" she questioned. I gave her a puzzled look. She was turning a bit red. Oh no!
"You had to choose someone who can for date you for publicity, for your new album; with an exception of higher status than you." She stated, as a matter of fact.
"Oh." The only word came out of my mouth. I processed the information and she warned me with a deadline of this week. Is she kidding? To find someone to date is not as easy as it sounds. For one, it has to be someone famous, and we need to end in good terms as I am the womanizer according to the media.
Guess I'll get my pick at the ball.
I was exhausted after a full day of roaming around with clues. With Anne tagging along I couldn't really think. I went to my room, and expected Anne to lose me on the way. Never
"Anne, get out of my room. I need to go to my thinking place." I scolded her, she gave me 'are you serious' look. She thinks that I can never get a man, because I will probably be the man in the relationship.
I was a born rebel
I go against anything the Queen says, this started after the mysterious death of my parents. The rebellion is also a spark to my sharp mind and just one day I hope I know of who killed my parents.
From lady lessons to tea parties, I was a shame. But when my name pops up in the news, everyone takes pride in that. It goes in a scrapbook of grandchildren that is maintained by a hired assistant of the Queen herself. She cares alright.
The case of the dead man, in his apartment is not very easy to crack, because if my suspicions are right in a few days there will be a murder of his ex-wife.
I was disturbed by a knock, wasn't Anne supposed to guard my room. I gave a grunt and open the door that went flying open. I was greeted with an invitation, to a ball and the announcement of my engagement…with Louis a step- son of some far relative that would be not blood related.
An absolute fantastic job trying to hide it from me, till this day. Brilliant. Funny, how I knew this on the same day as the Queen did. She thought I'd throw a fit, little does she knows that, I am totally in with the plan. Before the gloomy sensation fills me I walk out the door and submit myself to get ready.
The team of people surround me like a swarm of flies. The result is obvious that I look more feminine, rather from my daily attire. One of the girls, used a concealer, to cover my blemish as she brushed across my cuts in my hands I can only be embarrassed. I did not let anyone get to me, I held my head high. That was a phase that was meant to happen. I just didn't know better. But I guess I can divert my thoughts into better answers.
A beanie, tight jeans, plain coloured tees, and a trench coat is my typical attire. The magazine that interview me doll me up too, and I'm perfectly fine to show an act to all of them. After all, that's how magazine sell, a different perspective.

Beyond the Books: Library Marketing Exposed!
Librarian Linda McMaken shares her advice in this new monthly column. She has sixteen years of library experience as Public Relations and Marketing Coordinator. Now she offers her wisdom and ideas for expanding your library's presence "beyond the books."
Library Marketing Exposed! (Part One) available here
Library Marketing Exposed! (Part Two)
Welcome to Part Two of Libraries Exposed, offering guidance and tips on how to generate publicity for your library and library author events.
Local Sources
4. Government Offices and Schools
Whether you live in a small town, or a metropolitan area there are many local sources you can utilize to help gain publicity. One of the best is the local Chamber of Commerce office. The chamber works hard to market their town or city and they have many opportunities for local libraries. Drop by the office, and ask about contributing library event items to their calendar. Also, mention that you would be happy to contribute a completed short article on your upcoming events to their newsletter and/or blog. A Chamber newsletter is often hard to fill with content, particularly in winter months, and library events, particularly those featuring authors are usually very welcome.
Gather the necessary information from your attending authors. Create a short article that includes a bio on your visiting author(s), add their book cover art if you can obtain it from them, and make sure there is a link to their website/blog included. If the author or their publisher has sent you posters, leave one at the chamber office. I always request these from the author. Usually they can provide book covers, bookmarks, and other promotional items. I use these to market the program by either copying with the library event information on a newly created poster or brochure, or simply add a printed label with the information to the author's bookmarks.
Next, call your local school and see if they have a newsletter. Many schools e-mail or snail mail a newsletter to parents. This is a particularly great source if the school is utilizing the library for student visits or teacher collections. The school newsletter goes out to hundreds of parents. Even if you only get mentioned in the events calendar, you're still reaching a large number of potential attendees.
5. Local Businesses
Solicit small local businesses to help promote your library/author event. Exchange advertising by displaying their business logo on your blog, website and on printed material in return for any donations, or event displays in their business. Small businesses today are struggling to find cheap advertising, and libraries don't have any marketing dollars, so it's a win-win situation.
If the business donates items or money to your program, give them an in-library thank you poster for all library patrons to see, provide a link from your website to theirs and a give them a cyber-thank-you encouraging your patrons to support their business.
6. Radio Stations
Many local stations dedicate a significant number of programming hours to community events. Take advantage of this great opportunity. Send press releases, press kits and a calendar event notice to your local stations. Community events spots are usually hard to book, you'll notice that the same people appear frequently, such as a representative from the local animal shelter, food bank, or chamber office. Stations are always looking for new and interesting people, why not your author or you highlighting your library event?
Remember; always ask for a DVD of the interview. While most stations have the segment posted on their website, the news business changes quickly and those links have a limited life. With the DVD, you can use it on your website, blog, Facebook, and give your author a copy for their use.
7. Public Television
Public television stations are inundated with non-profits clamoring for airtime, meaning any PBS station promotion will be difficult to get. Although, as a library you've already zoomed ahead of most competition, PBS loves libraries, books, and authors. The best advice is to keep your press releases in front of the PBS station manager. At least once or twice a month, send the station manager, marketing director and public affairs liaison a press release and library calendar of events. Even if you don't have a program, you have new books send a press release highlighting them. This is a very effectual way of keeping your library's name in front of the station manager. By doing this consistently, they will understand that you are serious about publicity and when you do have an author visit, you will be more likely to get "air-time". Public television is an awesome source of publicity for books, libraries, and authors.
Make sure you visit next month, for additional tips, advice, and ideas.

Check back for the next installment of Linda McMaken's column in just a few weeks. Do you have questions about your library "beyond the books"? You can ask also ask her advice on any library conundrum here. Your question might even get featured in an upcoming article. And of course, you can read her daily blog online at www.makenwords.blogspot.com.

Even though it has its shortcomings, I really like my Apple TV. Since t's always on, I also use it as a torrent client. My preferred solution is rtorrent, and I previously described how to install rtorrent on your Apple TV. I even have an RSS-to-rtorrent solution that I still have to share with the world running on my Apple TV (I'm working on it). However, if you prefer a richer BitTorrent experience, you may want to check out this tutorial by Danny Ruchtie that describes how to run Transmission on your Apple TV!
Update September 29, 2010:
After some comments from Jon Skeet over at SuperUser.com in response to my praise of Nuevasync, I tried Google native syncing methods for getting my contacts and calendars from the cloud to my iPhone. It all seemed to work well, until I noticed that certain contacts kept duplicating. After making sure there was no other sync service operational (I have tried a few), I was pretty sure it had to be something between the iPhone and Google.
So, I went back to Nuevasync, and all has been well since. By the way, the Google Calendar Sync was working just fine, but I can only set up one Exchange sync on the iPhone, so that went back to Nuevasync as well.
Update Aug 23 2009: Switching back to Nuevasync didn't make the duplicates go away. I guess it's something else. Will investigate further.
Update: I eventually switched to Google Sync permanently.
Today I read about Simona Halep's alledged breast reduction. It reminded me of stuff like Tiger Woods' LASIK treatment and reports of improved pitching ability of baseball players who had undergone elbow surgery. It even made me think about the metal in Lance Armstrong's shoulder.
So many people are talking about doping and blood controls, but apparently it's common practice to resort to surgery that improves your performance in a chosen field of sports. And it's not only to fix you up quicker after an accident.
Somehow I can't see anything wrong with the use of metal to speed up the recovery of Lance Armstrong's broken collarbone. It's meant to return him to the 'state' he was in before the accident. It's "healing", just like his recovery from cancer. Let's not get into the details of drugs that are used to improve healh that can also be used to improve sports performance just yet. Lance can compete in the Tour de France with some metal screws in his collarbone.
In Tiger Woods' case, there can be little doubt that the LASIK surgery improved his golf game. His natural ability to see was improved by surgery. What if it had been possible to give him bionic eyes to improve his eyesight even further? Would he have been allowed to compete after that? I think not.
The same goes for Simona Halep. It's a shame that even with the help of Google it's hard to find a non-sexist story about the subject, but it seems that her natural physique (big breasts) limited her tennis performance. So, she had surgery to make her breasts smaller, and the world seems to pay most attention to what people that like big breats think. But we are talking about surgically altering an athletes body to make her perform better. I suppose it might not feel like not cheating because the surgeon removed part of her body. What if something was added to the body? What if she had surgery to make her muscles stronger? Would she have been allowed to compete in professional tennis again?
Surgically enhancing muscle strength is not too strange an idea. Some believe it is already happening. According to Wikpedia, American parents go to doctors asking them to perform Tommy John surgery on healthy kids, with the idea that these kids will become better pitchers. A procedure intended for healing, now (mistakenly?) believed to improve your game. Let's suppose this is so (and if it isn't so, I'm sure there are or soon will be surgical procedures that not only heal you but make you stronger than you were before). An injured player gets Tommy John surgery and is able to pitch better than before because his elbow works better. What's the difference between that and using drugs to improve muscle strength in order to to pitch better?
How is undergoing surgery to improve sports performance different from taking performance enhancing drugs? Let me know what you think! I'm especially curious to hear the opinions of athletes!
After the usual boot ritual (Mac boots, I make coffee) I logged in and I was missing something. Rather, I was missing a lot of little somethings that are supposed to appear in my Menu Bar. A quick peek into my User Settings confirmed my suspicions. All my Login Items were gone. It made me think of my Windows years, where you never knew whether or not your profile would be intact after logging in (especially not an a laptop with a roaming profile that was used in- and outside of a corporate network). Anyway, I decided to just click my way through Time Machine to yesterday afternoon, found ~/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist, restored it, logged out, logged in, and all way right with the world. Don't know why or how it happened, but unless it happens again, I can't be bothered. If stuff can be fixed faster than I can drink my coffee, it's OK with me.
After changing iPhone settings (for example, to enable Tethering) your iPhone bluetooth identifier may change to localhost. Since that is not a very descriptive name, you probably want to change it. You can do it by following these steps (they may be overkill, but it worked like this for me):
Today I noticed that changes I made to my iPhone Calendar did not show up in the connected Google Calendar. After some research, it turned out that my default iPhone calendar was set to a read only calendar I also subscribe too. So, apparently my calendar settings had changed after I upgraded to 3.0. I don't know if this was the 3.0 update or the fact that I tinkered with some settings.
After settings my default calendar on the iPhone to my primary Google Calendar, everything was working again and updates showed online and in iCal.
Your iPhone default calendar can be found in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > (scroll all the way down) Default calendar.
Looks excellent, now let's see how it works out.
Update September 29, 2010:
There is now a much better Transmission for Apple TV
Instructions on how to downloads torrents via RSS are also available
NOTE: This article assumes you have ssh access to your Apple TV, and you are interested in using it as a bittorrent client. It's a bit rough around the edges, but it's (for now) meant for people that kind of already know this stuff, but need an extra tidbit of info to make it work. I'm open to all kinds of feedback on how to improve it.
DISCLAIMER: If you break or brick your Apple TV while doing this, don't blame me. I cannot guarantee this will work, however, it's working for me. Still here? Let's get to work!
Since your Apple TV is always on anyway, you might as well use it as a bittorrent client. The simplest way to do this is to install rtorrent. However, the basic Apple TV rtorrent package is lacking some finesse. Nothing that 2 simple files and a few words form the command line cannot solve. Ready? Here we go.
Step 1. Install rtorrent Get the latest version from Google Code and follow instructions. It's the usual upload-and-run-the-install-script. You should be fine. After installation, you should see rtorrent (an executable) in /usr/local/bin on your Apple TV. You can launch it if you like, to see if it works.
Step 2. Install screen screen is a very nice Unix tool (a multiplexer) that can do lots of useful stuff. Read more about it on Wikipedia. Alas, this nifty program is not installed on your Apple TV.However, once upon a time someone made a verty nice plugin for Apple TV 1.0 called ATVTorrents. Basically, we will try to rebuild the backend of this ATV 1.0 plugin, and we need the screen binary. You can extract it from the ATVTorrents package, or just get it here (I extracted it for you). Now, on your Mac (or PC if that's your poison, but you'll have to find an scp program yourself), go to the command line, change to the directory that holds the screen executable and type this:
scp screen email@example.com:~
You should see a response that tells you the file was transferred successfully. Now, ssh into your Apple TV and type this (the password you will be asked after the sudo command is frontrow).
sudo mount -uw / mv screen /usr/local/bin/ chmod 777 /usr/local/bin/screen echo export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin > /etc/profile
The last command creates a default profile that automatically has access to the new stuff we install. If that interferes with your setup, you might want to create a profile for the frontrow user only. OK, we're done here, now on to the next step.
Step 3. Install the LaunchAgent Now we have screen and rtorrent and we want to make them play nice. If you know ho wto work screen, you can probably figure out how to start rtorrent with screen. However, that's not what we want. We don't want to do anything, we just want it to start whenever the Apple TV does. So, what we do is, we take this file and we will place it in /Library/LaunchAgents. The file is a modified version of the plist that originally came with the plugin mentioned earlier. That's why the name is still referring to Awkward TV (seems fitting). This file tells the Apple TV to launch rtorrent in the background (using screen) after it has been successfully booted. Which means rtorrent will always be running, which is good (for a bittorrent client). Transfer the file to your Apple TV (same as the screen file above, use the scp command). Then ssh into your Apple TV and type the following command:
mv org.awkwardtv.rtorrent.plist /Library/LaunchAgents/
If you get a message about a read only file system, repeat the sudo mount command you did before, and try again. You should not have to chmod this file, since it is not an executable. Now reboot your Apple TV (sudo reboot), get yourself a cup of coffee or whatever you feel like, and when the Apple TV is up and running, ssh into it and type screen -rd at the command line. You should see a nice empty torrent screen. Type Ctrl-A Ctrl-D to exit.
Step 4. Configure rtorrent (optional but recommended to prevent it from clogging your connection) Main thing to do is set limits for upload and download bandwith. Edit the file /Users/frontrow/rtorrent.rc on your Apple TV (it's invisible because its name starts with a dot, but it's there). Edit the lines that look like this:
# Global upload and download rate in KiB. "0" for unlimited. download_rate = 200 upload_rate = 20
How to edit this file?
Method 1: mount your Apple TV using afp and edit the file as if it were on your Mac.
Method 2: install nano (follow the instructions for installing screen) and type /usr/local/bin/nano .rtorrent.rc.
Done! Your Apple TV is now a bittorrent machine. How do you make it do stuff? Simple. You drop torrent files in the folder Torrents (located in the frontrow user's home directory), and when the torrent is done, the result will be placed in your Movies folder. Want to check on rtorrent? ssh into your Apple TV and type screen -rd at the command prompt.
It took some time to figure it all out, but it has been working like a charm for the past 2 months. The bash script is stil not a work of art, but I guess I could make some people happy by sharing how to do it. So, I will post instructions on this blog on how to modify your Apple TV. The first part will deal with getting rtorrent to work, and will be up soon! Stay tuned!

Oh hey! I brought mine to work today.
Yes, I would say it is most definitely shiny.
Yes, I have found the pertex to be durable, I've brushed up against a couple sharper things in this jacket and been surprised when I haven't found tears.
Not sure about sizing, since I am female, but I found mine to run true to size and I ordered my normal size with great success.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times

i purchased this jacket with the sole purpose of travel.
i live in michigan and make frequent trips to miami in the winter.
the jacket is perfet to wear to the airport, then put into the carry-on.
it takes virtually no space when compacted and is extremely light.
you could also use it as a pillow on the plane, by stuffing the jacket into one of the two front pockets.
i would not recommend this jacket for everyday use in the winter, as the material is quite thin and probably would not stand up well to daily wear.

So Warm, but minimalist build
Member since
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
This jacket is a cocoon of warmth. Coming from the Summit Series line of product, this jacket was meant for climbers/mountaineers who need a warm, but yet lightweight down layering piece. That being said, it is manufactured using the finest, 900 fill down and a Pertex Quantum GL ripstop face fabric that is designed for compressibility and weight savings. Cell phone/media pocket, headphone ports, etc are not offered on this purpose built jacket. If you want a lightweight, extremely warm down jacket, I would highly recommend the Super Diez.
Warmer than you think
Member since
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I've had this jacket for a year or so now and can't say enough good about it. For such a lightweight, compressible jacket it is incredibly warm and comfortable. It seems to be perfect for just about any temperature without overheating or getting cold. While I was a little concerned how durable the Pertex shell would be, it's held up great over a year of abuse.
Warm and Light
Dave Madsen
Member since
I bought this jacket a couple months ago and it is finally starting to get cool enough to start wearing it. This jacket is crazy lightweight, the combination of the ultralight fabric and super warm 900 fill down insulation make this jacket quite possibly one of the lightest most packable insulation layers you will ever own. That being said to save weight The North Face strategically built this jacket with weight savings in mind. When you are trying to shave ounces you can't afford to put in a bunch of pockets and features that you will never need at the Summit. All in all I am loving this jacket and if I am not wearing it, it will always be at the ready in my pack this winter.
Poor design for North Face's flagship

The jacket fits well, has that shiny "love-it-or-hate-it" finish (which personally, I don't mind). But in an age where the average guy carries with him a wallet, phone, a set of keys, and earphones, a breast pocket would've been very welcome, if only for convenience (my old TNF jacket had one). I'm not sure why this $350 jacket was stripped of a breast pocket, but I'm sure the folks at TNF's design department had a good reason.
My second gripe is with the stitching near the collar. I don't know what material they used, or why it was used in a way that it was, but once zipped-up all the way, the stitching on top of the collar is just plain sharp. After a 20-minute walk this morning I had a red cut across my throat (not to sound dramatic, so I've attached a photo). I can only imagine how annoying this must be on a real mountain hike.
My third gripe is with the material. It's shiny, I get it. It looks cool, and certainly feels nice to the touch, but why use such a fragile material? On a recent hike to Telescope Peak in California, I brushed up against a few branches, and the jacket has permanent scratches and puncture marks.
I'm not entirely sure where the "Summit Series" tagline comes from, but if the material is showing signs of wear (and certainly tear), after just a day's hike, then I'm sure TNF must've meant something else when they decided to stamp that big Summit Series logo on the sleeve.
In summary, having been a big fan of TNF for the past two decades, I think this will, in all likely hood, be my last North Face product. For a flagship jacket, it really just plain sucks.

What's the total weight of the down and feather? and what's the percentage of the down? thanks,

The North Face does not publish the fill weight of their jackets but the ratio of down to feather is 90/10.
My last TNF product....I've had enough.

This Jacket employs quality material however they were put together by The North Face. The stitching is bunched up in at least half a dozen places and if pulled on, simply breaks the pertex or thread. There are loose threads "looping" out in a few places as well. It's not worth my time contacting The North Face, they want you to send the item to a repair center (you pay shipping :-) ) where they attempt to cobble things back together. I've NEVER gotten anything back from them that was properly fixed.

I have the same problem!!! For what you pay for the jacket you would think they would have no snags on this jacket!! MY NORTH FACE LOGO IS PEELING OFF AS IF IT WERE A STICKER!! anyone else having this problem??? I even have a small hole which the down feathers have made the hole bigger and bigger!!!

Anonymous: I haven't confronted her. She was always busy with things and we eventually grew apart. I always see her smiling and having fun while on the other hand, I am in her opposite state. I feel depressed by this. I mean, she's unfair and heartless and there's a part of me that wants to stab her to death so badly and another part wants to hug her and say to her that i've missed her so much
If it's bothering you that much, I think you should at least confront her so that you can move on/forward.

like him a certain way.And it wasn't just him; it was all of the Bad Touch Trio. They were constantly hitting on you, and you were tired of pretending not to notice it.Yes, that's right; you didn't love any of them. /slapped/Okay, okay! Actually you may have liked them, but I mean, c'mon! They were your friends, but they were also huge players. You didn't want to set yourself up to get hurt by them. And you already had enough satisfaction watching plenty of girls come and go with the trio. It was always the same to you; a girl coming in benevolent and happy, and then leaving with tears in their eyes. The trio lacked the ability to hold a relationship because the three often lost interest in the same girl. Fast.If only your best friend were here to
RomanoxReader - More Than Enough"Why didn't you tell me?" You asked, worriedly.You were over at Lovino's house after he had skipped school, causing you to worry. He wasn't always like this; even if he did have an attitude and swore his mouth off at the ones who loved him most, he never meant harm, or to do something as drastic as skipping school. You went straight over to his house afterschool to see him moping around on the floor of the living room."Nobody would care." He replied back in a monotone voice, flipping through the television channels."Okay, now that's bullshit Lovi. I would care! Your brother would care! Antonio and Grandpa Rome would care!" You reasoned. At that moment, Feliciano entered the room to stand beside you in the doorway."Ay, fratello""Get the fuck out," Lovino snapped, tossing a pillow directly at Feli's face, causing him to flee into the next room. You felt kind of honoured that Lovino hadn't chucked a pillow at your face yet, telling you to leave.You stared at him until he was f
EnglandxReader- Confessions Part 1You were sitting under the tree in the school courtyard, reading you favourite book, (insert book name here). You were awaiting the presence of your best friend, Arthur Kirkland, who always met up with you afterschool. He was a caring one; very sweet and gentle. You liked his company, because he always found a way to cheer you up during your worst moments. You waited under the tree for awhile, sitting in hopes that your best friend would show up, but to no avail did he come. You let out a sigh, finally deciding you waited long enough.Swinging your back pack over one shoulder, you quietly stood up to leave, but soon heard your name being called in the distance."(Name)! (Name), over here!"You look around in desperation, but couldn't find the source of the sound. You yelled back to the oblivion. "Where are you?" You questioned, confused. You hoped it was Arthur, but sadly couldn't recognize the voice."Over here! Look this way! THIS WAY!" It called back."Well, you're not helping! Whic
RomanoxReader - NicknamesYou were sitting on your front lawn peacefully, enjoying the summer air while reading your favourite novel. As you were finishing the last chapter, you swore that you had heard a hyperactive Italian screaming something about relatives in Bayern [1], coming closer from down the street. Peeking up from your book, you saw your friend Feli sprinting towards you, of course being chased by someone again."(__f/n__)! (__f/n__)! Quickly! Hide me! I don't want to be hurt!" He screamed in terror, jumping into your lap and shaking like a little Chihuahua. "H-hey! It's okay! Who are you running from?" You asked curiously before a loud voice boomed."HEY, IDIOTA. 99% SHIT STORM. YOUR WAY. RIGHT NOW." A thick Italian accent screamed out. You looked your way around the Italian in your lap to another Italian who so happened to be stomping his way over. It was kind of hot. He grabbed Feli by the back of his collar and dragged him off your lap, holding him to eyelevel. Of course, Feli was shorter so his
AmericaxReader- My HeroYou were running your evening shift at the most popular café in town.You were lucky to get a job here, and the advantage you had above all the other pretty girls who applied here was that you actually did work. You didn't consider yourself to be gorgeous at all, but you weren't ugly either. It was a fact that you were simply just 'plain', but the idea of it didn't bother you the least. What did bother you, though, was the fact that you always felt under-appreciated for what you did, and the only possible reason for that was because you weren't pretty. Maybe if you were, people would acknowledge your presence, and notice you more. You thought that applying for a job would get you more out going, and so far you've come to know many different people at the café. Working here was the best idea you've ever had.The thing that made this café so popular was that it had an open mic-night every Friday, and the café was always packed with people having a great time, d

Lukas asked, scribbling your order on his handy-dandy notebook.You were sitting at a café, trying to spark ideas for a new Hetalia reader-insert. Your laptop was placed on the table, as you flipped through a tiny menu."Uhmm, and can I try the Danish?" You replied, not looking away from the menu.Lukas stopped clicking his pen, and peered down on you. His eyes went into slits. "Are you sure you want that?" He asked uncertain. Or maybe cautious. A little curious, perhaps."
Yeeeesss?" You said slowly and uncertain at his reaction. "Is there something wrong?""No no, but nobody's had a Danish since our last accident

And zhat is why I need you to watch (__f/n__) for ze day, Mathieu," Francis finished with a persuasive smile. He was going off with his best friends Toni and Gil for the day to have some 'inappropriate fun'. Francis didn't leave (__f/n__) very often; he loved her way too much to leave her in someone else's care for too long.The Canadian hesitated his invite at first; he honestly wasn't good with kids at all since they usually forgot his presence, but in the end he ended up agreeing, when Francis had grabbed him by the shoulders, stressing the fact that he was the only person he could trust his 'petite fleur' with."I never knew you had another child, Francis.

You were proven right when you watched his shadow on the curtain move closer and closer to the shower."A-Alfred, you pervert! You're creeping me out. Honestly, do your business and get
CanadaxReader - WaitingMatthew got up bright and early at 8:00 am to meet you at the park, just like he did every Saturday morning. He finished his pancakes, and walked out the door with a smile.As Matthew strolled through the park, he stopped and sat down at the nearest bench; the same bench he would always wait at. Every great day between the two of you would always start here and get better. He patiently waited and scanned around the park occasionally. He loved sitting on the bench and watching you run to him from afar, apologizing for being late. The way your face would be flushed from running full-speed, and you're babbling excuses for your tardiness was found oh-so amusing to the Canadian.It had just turned 12:00 pm when a few more people strolled by through the park. Yet, Matthew waited patiently with that un-dying smile.Waiting...Waiting......At around 3:00 pm, Alfred happened to stroll by and notice Matthew sitting on the bench. "Hey bro, how's it hangin'?"

Punk!England x Reader Request- The Girl InsideYou sighed; another boring day of simple schoolwork. Well, simple for you at least, seeing as you were known all around school as the most serious student alive. Or at least that's the façade the other students believed.You truthfully loved to have fun, but your parents had really put on the pressure about school. Thus you were forced to hide that one side of you that you secretly loved. That side included a girl that was quite the opposite from the strait A, quiet, and serious girl who had eventually also become a part of you. Yes. The other half of you was the side you'd been forced to suppress by your parents.The girl inside you who was sarcastic, snappy, couldn't care less about school, and who loved to turn her music up full blast was the one your parents could never know about- or anyone else for that matter.The only problem about this was that one guy who seemed to know who you really were on the inside. He'd even made some sly remarks about how he'd love to crack
Librarian!England x Shy!Reader: I Spy'No sign of him yet.' You bit your lip and sighed. Gazing up, you stared at the clock, waiting for him to arrive. After making a few circles back and forth along the old carpet floor, you finally looked up to your satisfaction to find the charming Brit walking over towards you. You've both set up an appointment to meet up here at the very last section of the library, where people, including faculty barely visited. It was like your secret place to escape to, purely vacant asking to serve some purpose and here was the perfect one."Sorry to keep you waiting love.." The blond approached you closer."I was starting to think you wouldn't show up, you're never late.." you raised an eyebrow and questioned the gentleman before you."I'm sorry, I had to take care of something at the last minute but I'm here now

It was sunny in (Place), the total opposite of what you felt.Exactly a week ago you had confronted your boyfriend, Alfred, on why he was spending so much time with some bimbo. He had then explained- er well, more like bragged that she was the love of his life and the two of you were done.You laugh bitterly at that thought, that's the exact same way you two had become a couple. He dumped his previous girlfriend for you, saying the exact same thing. Well, once a player always a player.You look over at the clock on the wall to see its 1:20pm. Your eyes widened and you dashed out your door, grabbing your keys, wallet, and phone."Why the hell did I lose track of time!" You yelled while dodging pedestrians, "If I'm late again Arthur will never forgive me!"Arthur. That's someone who's always despised your Ex-boyfriend even though they're brothers. He even warned you about him, but you were to lovestruck to believe him.Now that yo

You'd also managed to convince you're friends to enter your band, Hep Talia, in the Battle of the Bands."I don't know if I can do this," you confessed to your guitarist and one of your best friends Francis. He just gave a smooth smile and rested an arm on your shoulder."Of course you can!" he reassured."Besides," Added your other best friend and drummer Antonio, "He'll be here and listening tonight," I blushed at the thought of my crush, Arthur Kirkland, being here.

Poetic PsychosisIn thirty seconds, the next shell would fall. Every night was the same, but every night Lorenzo experienced it as if it were the first time. His throat felt swollen; breathing was hard. He glanced around at the others; young men like him who had been shipped out in the name of honour and freedom. There was no honour in this, no freedom. Only death behind your eyelids, and a fear so gutting, that it carved out your innards and left you a hollow husk. Lorenzo tried to breathe, tried to assure himself that he was still whole, still made of flesh. They had lied when they told him he was ready.Matteo ran towards him, arms out, rifle swinging uselessly at his side. He shouted for him to run, but Lorenzo remained motionless, unable to move as his friend's warning was lost in the constant blare of gunfire. None of them were ready."The cycle is repeating. It is not safe." The voice was soft and weak, yet it carried over the gunfire and battle cries without impediment.Lorenz

Panel OKs Lifting Silicone Breast Implant Ban
Advisory Panel Recommends Strict Conditions for Use of Silicone Implants
WebMD Health News
April 13, 2005 - An FDA advisory panel recommended Wednesday that silicone implants be brought back to the U.S. market for breast augmentation, 13 years after the agency enacted a partial ban on their use because of safety concerns.
Experts backed one company's bid to sell the implantsbecause of concerns about durability and safety.
The panel supported the application from implant maker Mentor by a 7 to 2 vote. But the panel recommended that strict conditions be imposed on the manufacturer, including close patient tracking and informed consent. The panel also called for certification of physicians implanting the silicone-filled devices.
A final FDA approval would give the company access to the more than 340,000 women expected to seek cosmetic breast enlargement surgery this year. The agency ordered the implants off the broad market in 1992, restricting them to women seeking reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy.
Several panel members said they based their support Wednesday on evidence that Mentor's implant appeared less likely to rupture than a similar implant produced by Inamed, a rival firm. Inamed's application for producing implants was rejected by the panel on Tuesday.
But experts also expressed unease with thewhich for years have sparked controversy because of suspicions that they could leak and cause autoimmune diseases and other illnesses.
Mentor officials presented a study showing that their implants ruptured in 1.4% of all cases (enlargements and reconstruction) within three years after surgery, representing about one in every 72 women who used them. The implants broke within three years in one in every 200 women who got them specifically for cosmetic breast enlargement, the company said.
Officials said none of the ruptures resulted in adverse health problems or disease, except for some breast pain and altered shape in a few cases.
The company also presented a small British study suggesting that the implants could be expected to rupture in 5.4% of women within nine years, a much lower rate than the 14% rupture rate projected by Inamed.
On Tuesday, experts rejected Inamed's application in part because the company relied on projections and did not directly study its implants' reliability for longer than three years.
Mentor also did not directly study long-term use, but instead offered laboratory stress testing that the company said was proof that the implants could withstand up to 60 years of wear and tear in the body.
"These are two different devices," said panelist Stephen Li, who supported Mentor's application after opposing Inamed's bid the day before. "They [Mentor] had an extremely low rupture rate."

Hi there !
So since i need some reviews/critics of my work i will try to post as often as possible my drawing.
I'm not especially looking for a praise or a good review so feel free to say whatever you want if it's constructive.
To be honest i think that i'm pretty confident about drawing from a reference but not from mind...
So for now i'm essentially focused of learning to draw from mind.
That's why i'm actually doing the Riven Phoenix Course (http://www.alienthink.com/) and since today doing some www.posemaniacs.com 30 & 60 sec poses.
I'm also learning Digital Painting and quite a newbie in this.
What i'm looking for is to be able to completely draw from mind a human figure and also drawing fantasy/sci-fi landscape in digital painting.
If you have some idea of exercises to do for landscape drawing feel free to say it.
Oh and finally sorry for my clumsy english since i'm not a bilingual
Ok stop with the talk here some of my work

Ok so here a series of hand study from Burne Hogarth book
Drawing from photo reference and head study
Ok here a series of drawing while looking Riven Phoenix Course about drawing human from mind
Session of 30s & 60s drawing from posemaniacs.com
Eyes, ear, hair & body study painting are from photo reference.
You may recognize some painting are from viewing Daarken video tutorial (ear: http://goo.gl/0Mktr - female body: http://goo.gl/DZa0u)
Sketch of the day
30s & 60s.
Someone gave me some advice to do the gesture studies making sure to use my shoulder instead of my fingers/hand to draw. They are a lot looser and I tend to look at the subject more than the drawing, but I noticed that the flow has greatly improved. It wastes a lot of paper, but I recycle and use pencil, then pen, then marker. Just an idea.
Your studies on #6 are really nice. Looking forward to seeing you post more.
Yeah i know i try to loosen up and draw from shoulder but don't know if actually i draw a little or not with shoulder lol....
That's why the morning i'm doing some loosen up exercise (drawing line, ovale, square, rond, etc...) with my tablet during like 1hr.
Sure it's a lot of paper doing this sketch drawing lol that's why maybe unconsciously i'm drawing so small ^^
Also i'm drawing in pen now that's why my line are so messy :s
First sketch is a sequence of 10s & 60s poses.
Second sketch head study from posemaniacs "hands for drawing"
Have you tried the Gesture Drawing Tool? I like it better because you don't get those odd twists that poser makes.
Don't be afraid to make nice big studies. Sometimes working so small it is hard to really wrap your head around the structure and what makes things look the way they do.
Don't stop working. You are going in the right direction.
Hi !
I wanted to share my opinion about your figure paintings.
You are definitely going in the right direction, my main recommendation is about the values.
It's all about the same mid grey value, so try to push the contrast waaaay up.
See values contrast as a tool to push things in the background or make it pop out.
Also this texture in the background is quite annoying and you should paint the background in a way that help read the form of your figure and it silouhette ( light against dark and vice versa).
I have this nice link :
it will help you get better tonal composition and relationship, I am working on this also right now.
Make studies from the master also and try to understand how they use value as a tool for composition and form sculpting.
I hope it helps,
see ya !

Hi there !
Shehaub & yaniv thanks for your critic. I really appreciate
@ Shehaub :
Oh thanks for this link i will give a try tomorrow. And i agree sometime some poses are just too weird lol...
And yeah you're write i tend to draw small... my big pet peeve/my Kryptonite...
But i'm kind of a ecologiste too lol
Well i think i will make some effort in the future ^^
@ yaniv :
You are talking about what sketch of mine ?
I guess you are talking about my digital painting in #6
Can you repost your link pls ? Thanks in advance
And so here my 30s poses of the day. This quick pose drawing is becoming my daily routine i guess
Also a little digital painting study from Bargue plate. It's not finished yet.
Ok so for today following Shehaub advise i have try the drawing gesture tool.
Don't know why but it's seem a little bit harder.
And also a digital painting while watching the video tutorial of Zhang Lu.
It's not finished but i will let it be like that. Spend around an hour to do this.
It was just a training to see and understanding his style and how he draw so there is no need for me to finish it
(because i was like huh huh were to start to draw a head in digital painting from a photo reference. Don't know why i was so blocked...)
Ok so for today i've tried something new using a Brush Pen instead of a pen.
I've done a little head skull study too.
Feel like some regression today...
I supposed my mind wasn't into drawing today.
Was doing some photo retouching and iPhone UI design sketch in the same time.
Hey nice studies and I think your gestures are getting less stiff.
Try pushing the values a little on post #14. Think about the shadow shapes and their edges.
You are making progress. Keep working at it!
Thanks Shehaub for the critic i will try
Like yesterday i don't have much time for drawing since i'm doing some iphone app design and photo retouching.
Ok so here 2 sessions of my routine gesture drawing
The first is a 60s poses with a pocket brush and the next 30s poses with pigment liner.
And finally i've started a digital painting from photo reference.
Ok today got some more sketch than usual
I also try 2min & 5min gesture drawing.
My second scan is a Blind contour drawing. That was funny lol
Some look really weird but after that i've tried the 2min poses and it's seems like a was a bit more comfortable.
4th is a 5min poses.
And at last the final version of my yesterday digital painting from photo ref.
First is a blind contour.
2nd is a 5min pose
3rd is a head study approximately 5min
I've done another 5min gesture drawing but haven't scanned yet.
Too tired !
30s gesture drawing and Torso study
And so for today
30s gesture drawing, 2min gesture drawing and finally a ugly little head study
ur story is so similier to mine.. and im also doing the raven phenix dvds as well... and i do copy art well . but zero at creating art... the only difference ur work looks better then mine .. clean .. and neat... keep them coming.. i love to see more raven anatomy here..
i love to do everything and learn everything... i hate to be cornered in one place.. i believe u can be anything u want... Your mind is limitless... check out my sketchbook ... u will find a bit of everything
Facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/salemshanouha
Thanks Rain Walker !
Just saw you're sketchbook awesome painting !
How can you say that my work looks better than yours lol
I can't even paint like you do ! I am so bad at it... Actually I do love digital painting but traditional painting is just not for me lol.
Painting toyz is the only real paint that i can do
Anyway thanks a lot for stopping at my sketchbook
Well today my gesture drawing is so ugly...
I've spent most of my time doing the digital painting and it's not done yet !!
When it will be finished, I will post it on the screencapbook
That last painting looks really good. It gets a little off as you go toward the distance, but a really nice study. I am just nit picking on that. Do you set up a grid to keep your lines straight? It really helps.
Try mixing up your gestures with some simple life studies. Find something simple to draw and really concentrate on seeing what is actually there. Use your pencil or something pointy to measure and compare width to height, etc as well as using it like a clock hand to find angles. I bet if you use observation skills like that your gestures will start getting better.
Even on an off day, you are still improving. One of the things that seems to be pretty common is that all of the sudden all your stuff looks like trash. That means that you are seeing your errors that you didn't notice before. That is a really good sign! It means you are improving your sight skill. The hand will catch up eventually.
Thanks Shehaub
Yeah I know that my perspective was really bad. lol
But at first i thought about doing kind of a speed painting lol but as I was going further I was going into detail :s
And yeah I also know that I need to find something easier but I don't know what to do and what I can do at my level...
If anyone have some photo ref that I can use at my level to improve myself feel free to put the link in this thread
Draw a cup, plate, silverware or food like apples, eggs, onions, celery, potato etc. Grab anything you can hold in your hand and put it on a surface and draw it. The problem with drawing from pictures is that a picture already flattens out the object. It doesn't challenge you to really see what is there and translate. That is what I mean by "life study". Do a few things from life, then do some copy from the internet or a book. Then back to life. You will be amazed at how that speeds up your visual skill.
Oh ok !
I will try
Some gesture drawing and head drawing.
And finally a digital painting from ref (Apocalypto)
Ok so here 2 scan of my daily routine plus head drawing who will become my daily routine as well.
I've got some problem with the head shape. I think that I need to study some 3D shape to get it.

As a friend, I would like to tell you this line to serve as an encouragement:"How can I stand the wretched taste of mediocrity when the excellence lies before me?" To someone who keeps on waiting for true love, just like me, just remember that:"There's no need to rush. If something is meant to be, it will happen. In the right time, with the right person, for the best reason." I believe that to live is Christ. For me not lose my hope and faith, I read the verses of Proverbs that say: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. "

Belated congratulations to your 50th birthday.
Only now I realised that I infected my children with the SF-virus by means of the Harry Potter CDs: my youngest learned English by listening to his brother's HP CDs; the eldest (18) still listens to these CDs, whenever he is ill in bed or when he can not sleep. I hear your voice most nights echoing though the house. The kids also discovered your other performances in Blackadder and A bit of Fry and Laurie and your books, like the Ode less travelled. Considering their life expectance, you will have stay around for another 70 years at least.
Thank you for all this; may there be much more to come!

Studio | No Bedrooms | sleeps 2
|Key Info
The trio of cosy appts Laus,Talir & Tezoro
are put into a great deal of material resources as well
financial resources to preserve essence of the medieval era and historical clues,
of some hundreds years of Mediterranean Italo – Spanish influence
and bonded with modern means like free wireless internet,SAT TV,
air condition etc.
Upon the time monks and Jesuits were living within these halls,
The building itself was known as ,,Seminarium Clericus Educandos Curatus,,
Owing to the inherent historical facts the building is
lying on the most heritage place,the oldest part of the historic town,
that ones was tiny rocky island named Laus,divided with canal and lagoon to mainland,Quarter is known nowadays very well by the name Carmen and canal
as plaza Stradun.
Facing back in ancient times during BC years,when the island started to be inhabited
with first settlers of Greeks and Romans.
By the time of Holy Roman Empire,knight templars were resting here after their crusades.It captivated with intrigue and imagination generations.
Richard I,the Lion-Hearted of England who set out on the
third crusade,after his return of crusades from Latin Kingdom,himself
financed construction of Roman Catholic Cathedral,which is opposite to our appts.
In the closest vicinity of the appts is the main plaza Stradun,where all events
take place,with lot of narrow side streets,lot of all kind of variety of shops,caffes,
restaurants and museums of historical events.Closest beach Buza is just few steps away.
Appts lay in the very quiet area despite in the heart beat of the old town.Of great
importance to say no steps to climb,appts are just on the first floor,not tiredness and fatigue in hot very sunny summer days.
And finally we are glad to share this privilege with our clients.

How to find maximum values?
Hello, the question is to find the MAXIMUM VALUE of -3x^2-5x+1=0.
I tried to enter this into my calculate in Polynomial and got two values of x:
See following post for attempted answer.
I got this from thinking the maximum value is just the turning point (Ie: -b/2a)
Use the quadratic formula...
Using the quadratic formula to solve that equation will tell you where the value of y is 0. The x-value for maximum y will be halfway between the two roots.
By the way, you really want to find the maximum value of y= -3x^2-5x+1. An equation, like -3x^2-5x+1=0, doesn't have a "value" to begin with!
You can also find the maximum by completing the square in -3x^2-5x+1.
Hmm, read it wrong due to the zero... I agree that the equation doesn't have a value to begin with.
I used calculus to get the maximum, and I get what ihopeican got; x = -0.8333... without calculus, you can get the x value of the midpoint by -b/2a, as ihopeican suggested, or by finding the zeros of the equation and finding the average of their x values, as HallsofIvy suggested. When you get to calculus, you will learn how to use derivatives to get maximums and minimums of lots more equations, not just quadratics. It's fun, easy, and fast. XD

The Baltimore Guide welcomes its new Publisher, Ed Hoffman, a community newspaperman with nearly 40 years of experience in newspapers and magazines.
Hoffman served as an advertising manager, general manager, group manager and publisher for 22 years with Chesapeake Publishing, a Maryland company that owns and operates 18 daily and weekly newspapers with combined readership of nearly one million.
"It's wonderful to be working in Baltimore again. My wife and I grew up here and raised our children on the Eastern Shore," Hoffman says. "My career has moved me around the Mid-Atlantic but now I feel I am home again. I am eager to get reacquainted with the fine neighborhoods the Guide serves."
Hoffman was born in Baltimore and graduated from Lansdowne High School.
He later earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, while also working as a cashier at an A&P grocery store in the city.
He was a member of UMBC's first graduating class.
His wife, Margaret, grew up in West Baltimore. They now live in Elkton, where Ed likes to play golf and garden in his off-time. He is a weather enthusiast, with a weather station in his back yard that he monitors daily. His weather blog, "Ed's Elkton Weather," can be seen on Weather Underground, www.wunderground.com. He also blogs about city weather and conditions in The Baltimore Guide.
Everywhere Hoffman has worked—he moved to three different towns while at Chesapeake Publishing—he has become active in community groups.
His past affiliations include the Queen Anne's County Chamber of Commerce, Kent Island Rotary Club, president of the Richmond County, Va., Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club of Warsaw, Va., and the board of the Virginia Press Association.
"I am exchted to be the publisher of a newspaper that is such a great Baltimore tradition. I am devoted to continuing the strong commitment to our longtime readers and advertisers," he says. "We will produce a newspaper and online product that appeals to many new readers and advertising clients as well."
