A man arrested Aug. 6 for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old Mechanicsville girl since March has pleaded guilty to one count of sexual abuse of a minor.
Mark D. Jenkins, now 45, entered the plea Monday in Calvert County Circuit Court to one of 14 counts of sexual abuse of a minor as part of his plea agreement with the state, which dismisses the other 13 counts.
Also as part of the agreement, he must register on the sex offenders list and pay $838.61 in restitution, which includes counseling and a Calvert Memorial Hospital visit.
There will be a motions hearing Jan. 16 to determine what information may be admissible at sentencing.
The count carries a potential of 25 years in jail, though the state is offering five to 10 years. Jenkins will be sentenced Feb. 25.
The state�s offer doesn�t include two similar counts pending in St. Mary�s County.
On July 14, the St. Mary�s County Sheriff�s Office contacted the Calvert County Sheriff�s Office about a possible sexual relationship between a 44-year-old man and a minor that occurred earlier that day in Prince Frederick, according to charging documents.
St. Mary�s detectives said a 16-year-old girl from Mechanicsville reported having sex with Jenkins earlier in the day at the Super 8 motel. The girl�s parents were upset, detectives said, because �they entrusted care and custody of their daughter� that day to Jenkins, who was the father of a friend of their daughter. The girl�s parents believed she was being taken to the library by Jenkins to study for her GED, charging documents state.
Jenkins agreed to meet Calvert County deputies at the sheriff's office that day, where he was read his Miranda rights, which he allegedly waived.
The girl�s parents gave Jenkins permission to pick up the girl and her brothers from school in St. Mary�s County and take her to his house, according to charging documents. Deputies said Jenkins told them he and the victim became attracted to each other in March and began expressing their attraction through their cellphones and through emails. The relationship became sexual that same month at his house, deputies said, and every Wednesday they would have sex.
Jenkins allegedly gave deputies consent to download information from his iPhone, which contained inappropriate pictures of the girl. Jenkins �began to justify his relationship� with the girl by saying he had been married a long time and �that when a young pretty girl �pays attention� to you it is very tempting,� according to charging documents.
Deputies then went to Calvert Memorial Hospital, where the girl was being examined. The girl�s parents told deputies they had given Jenkins permission to pick their daughter and her brothers up from school and defined the relationship Jenkins had with their children as custodial, charging documents state.
The girl told deputies she had sex with Jenkins every Wednesday from March 14 to June 6 at his house and that they would communicate using iPods.
St. Mary�s detectives contacted deputies July 17 and said they had obtained two iPods from the girl�s parents, and information on those iPods included inappropriate pictures of Jenkins and the girl.
Deputies obtained an arrest warrant and arrested Jenkins on Aug. 6 on 14 counts of sexual abuse of a minor.

I don't expect to win but I'm glad to see the old rex peeking out, I didn't like the new quiet version. I think that trickles down to the team and has sapped their confidence a bit.
whether Rex speaks or not has no bearing on the way the pats will play. Didn't rex and most of the team talk big before the playoff game 2 years ago? all that matters is how you play on Sunday.

Apart from the constant snow fall, I had an amazing time there as there was so much to do, if only we had more time there! I was able to share this brilliant experience with some of my closes friends and had a wonderful time doing so! But I have to admit my favourite part of Berlin would be the Berlin Wall as it was so beautiful and spoke a million words.

"Doesn't last long"
I had these on my 5yr. old warmblood for a week and they ripped in half. However, they did not rub him at all which was great!
"Good Boots"
"My mare is in a sandy corral and I wanted rubber conventional style (i.e., not the ""no turns"") bell boots. I use these for turn out, only. So far they have done exactly what I hoped they would do. The sand never sticks to or builds up under the rubber and there has been no sign of rubbing to date. "
"Good bell boot for 24/7 wear"
My horse wears these 24/7 to protect therapeutic shoeing. No problems with rubbing sores. Been in them for months now.
"Economical Boot for Occassional Use"
"I ordered two pair of these bell boots to use for trailering my horses. The boots are soft and flexible and the double touch tape closures keep the boots on the horse's foot. I wouldn't recommend these boots for extended use, however. They do not have a ""no turn"" feature and, with prolonged use may rub sores on the back of the horse's foot. I'm sure you could overcome this with attention. I am very happy with them for trailering and short-term protection."

Sample Permits (also includes a model permit)
RCRA Training Module - "Introduction to Permits and Interim Status" (PDF) (25 pp, 63 K, About PDF)
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste permitting program helps ensure the safe treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes by establishing specific requirements that must be followed when managing those wastes. Permits for the treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous wastes are issued by Authorized States or by EPA Regional Offices.
40 CFR Parts 260-265 and 266-270 contain regulations related to RCRA Permitting. Specifically, parts 264 and 270 specify what a permit must contain. More information...
E-permitting is electronic permitting. We plan to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the RCRA permitting program by assisting states that are investing in e-permitting systems, working with states to pilot RCRA e-permitting approaches, developing RCRA e-permitting tools, and facilitating the sharing of permit information with the public.
Recordkeeping and Reporting
To keep track of hazardous waste activities, TSDF owners and operators must keep certain records and submit reports to EPA at regular intervals. Recordkeeping and reporting requirements are found at 40 CFR Part 264 Subpart E (for permitted facilities) and 40 CFR Part 265 Subpart E (for interim status facilities), and include the following:
- EPA Identification Number and Part A Permit (Forms 8700-12 and 8700-23) - All facilities that generate, transport, recycle, treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste are required to notify EPA (or their State agency) of their hazardous waste activities. An EPA Identification Number must be obtained unless the solid waste has been excluded from regulation or their hazardous waste has been exempted.
- National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Reports - Sections 3002 and 3004 of RCRA require that EPA collect information pertaining to hazardous waste management from hazardous waste generators and hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facilities on a two-year cycle.
- Hazardous Waste Manifest System - The system includes a set of forms, reports, and procedures designed to seamlessly track hazardous waste from the time it leaves the generator facility where it was produced, until it reaches the off-site waste management facility that will store, treat, or dispose of the hazardous waste.

A sheriff's deputy shot and killed a California man Saturday while responding to a report of a disturbance in Wildewood, according to the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office.
Cpl. Michael George, assigned to the special operations division of sheriff's office, responded to the 23000 block of Sugar Maple Court in California at approximately 1:56 a.m. on Sept. 29. Upon arrival, George and other deputies were confronted by Stephen Robert Wycoff, 39, according to a release from the sheriff's office.
A violent struggle ensued between the deputies and the suspect, and George discharged his firearm, according to the sheriff's office. Wycoff was pronounced dead on the scene.
George, a nine-year veteran of the sheriff's office, was transported to a local hospital where he was treated and released.
Detectives from the St. Mary's Bureau of Criminal Investigations as well as the sheriff's office of professional responsibilities responded to the scene.
George has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcomes of both investigations.

Irina Rodnina, decorated figure skater and member of the Russia's State Duma (lower house), was one of two people chosen to light the Olympic cauldron at the opening ceremony. She immediately came under fire for a doctored photo she had tweeted in September. Now she's apologized, but not for what you think.
I respect the Obama family and apologize for not clearly stating earlier that I don't support the tweeted photo or racism in any form. (1/2)
— Irina Rodnina (@IRodnina) February 10, 2014
My account was hacked and I should have shown better judgement in my initial response and handling of the event. (2/2)
— Irina Rodnina (@IRodnina) February 10, 2014
OK! I don't know why we even have to bother, since no one's ever actually been hacked without their stream tweeting out ads for açaí weight loss scams or Syrian Electronic Army propaganda. But let's run down the reasons why it's very unlikely Rodnina was hacked.
1. It was five months ago.
2. Rodnina didn't claim hacking at the time, instead tweeting at critics, "Freedom of speech is freedom of speech, and you should answer for your own hang-ups!"
3. Last night Rodnina's daughter, a producer at HuffPost Live, said that "the tweet was extremely insensitive, and we've addressed it as a family."
Ultimately, another mini-controversy that can now completely blow over. But it's heartening to see that globalization is so complete that even Russians know to claim "hacking" after tweeting something stupid.

Kimi Raikkonen believes there were plenty of good signs for Ferrari in Hungary and hope they can take that into the second half of the campaign.
The Finn endured a shocking qualifying session at the Hungagoring on Saturday as he failed to make it out of Q1 after the team opted not to give him a second run.
However, Sunday proved to be much better day for the 2007 World Champion as he came from 16th on the grid to finish sixth despite being held up by the Sauber of Esteban Gutierrez for a long time.
"Yeah, after yesterday's mistakes, this kind of place it is hard to place and we were lacking straight-line speed, I had difficulties passing the Sauber in the middle of the race with the DRS so obviously it was a bit tricky but we managed to gain places," he is quoted as saying by RichlandF1.
"We were faster than Williams but I just couldn't get past."
It was a good race for Ferrari as Raikkonen's team-mate Fernando Alonso came from fifth on the grid to finish second behind Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull.
For Raikkonen though his sixth place could not have come at a better time after going two races without a top-10 finish, and he hopes this form will continue after the summer break.
"I hope that the second part of the season can be much better than the first one, but obviously one little bit better day doesn't change an awful lot," he said.
"It doesn't take away the mistakes and the things we have to really improve, make it work as a team much better. That doesn't change from this moment to this afternoon; there are an awful lot of things left to be done to make sure we can be where we should be.
"I believe in the team, that we can put ourselves where we should be. There are some signs, today we had good speed but obviously starting where we started, it was hard to make any better place. I don't think there is going to be a big difference in three or four weeks, but for sure next year. So we try to work more improving things and improve in the second half, make sure things are how we want and should be."

Selection Criteria:
We are open to any genre or type of film, but in choosing our grantees, we are biased toward:
• People who we can be confident will actually produce another movie with these resources.
• People who do not have access to other resources.
• People who use money and materials sparingly and wisely.
• Films that are daring, unique, intelligent, soulful, honest, brilliant.
• Short films of any and all genres which operate outside mainstream, feature film traditions and aesthetics.
• Films with women and people of color in primary production roles.
• Films that are socially responsible: whether documentaries or fiction, drama or comedy, experimental or animation, we admire films that are thoughtful, well-researched, well-reasoned and that actively seek to change our world for the better.
• These are NOT requirements, just qualities we value. We fund many films that do not fall into those categories, from comedies to experimental films, films with big budgets and small, films by all types of people. If it's moving pictures by our alums, and it's going to be great, we want to support it.)
Crucial elements:
• We need to be convinced that you will make this film as it as presented and in a timely fashion. If you can provide a production schedule and convincing reasons as to why you will adhere to it, that's great.
• We often fund specific line items in your budget, so the more specific you can be, the better.
• We will fund any element of pre-production, production or post-production.
• We are more likely to fund films for which this grant will have a large impact. That is, we are more likely to fund $3,000 of a $3,000 total budget than $3,000 of a $30,000 total budget. (Though we will provide funds for bigger budget films, too.)
• We are more likely to fund films where there is thought to how the film will be used in the world in coordination with a community engagement campaign and/or ongoing efforts for social justice.
• We are also more likely to fund films that make the most of their resources and community. For instance, we are more likely to fund the salary of a DP who is donating use of his own 16mm camera than we are likely to fund the rental of a 16mm camera from a corporate rental house. We are also more likely to fund the purchase or fabrication of materials that you will be able to use again, instead of a one-time rental.
• That said, those are guidelines, not requirements, and we will fund films of any budget, scale or production means. Most of all, we want to support great cinema in crucial ways.
Please read our FAQ and ADVICE section. All filmmakers are encouraged to email Rooftop Artistic Director Mark Elijah Rosenberg at filmfund [at] rooftopfilms [dot] com with a draft of their application for advice, or call 718-417-7362. When asking for advice, please focus on specific questions. We can only really advise how to make your application more clear, or offer personal non-binding advice on the filmmaking. The advice we most often give is to descibe what we will see on screen more clearly. Due to time constraints, we can only provide one round of notes, and cannot guarantee feedback in the final week before the deadline, but simple questions are welcome any time.
Selection Process:
The grants will be decided by a panel made up of Rooftop Films staff, founders and invited panelists, including staff from the Adrienne Shelly Foundation and DCTV. There may be things we would want to see changed in the proposed project, or we may want to participate in the production in order to provide funding. If you are not comfortable with our suggestions, there will be an opportunity to tell us if a second round comes into play. There will likely be follow-up questions, but no formal second round of applications.
How to Apply:
Download the essay questions and the budget form for the Rooftop Filmmakers' Fund Short Film Grants. The application for male and female filmmakers is the same. Female filmmakers will be automatically eligible for both grants. The application asks for the following information:
• Your name and contact information.
• A description of the film you want to make.
• A production plan.
• A budget. (Use our form or your own.)
• What you want from us.
• A few lines about yourself.
1. If you plan on applying, please fill out this quick RSVP form, so we know how many applications we might be expecting and we can keep an eye out for your application.
2. Complete the online Short Film Grant Application Form
2a. Use the Short application if your film is less than 50 minutes and you are applying for a short film grant; use the Feature application if your film is over 50 minutes and you are applying for a feature film grant.
2b. If you are applying with more than one film, fill out a separate application, essay questions, and budget form for each film.
3. You are also welcome and encouraged to send footage, rough cuts, fine cuts, etc. in any format. Online links are preferred (password protection is acceptable). Please include a link and password in your application form. If you must send a DVD, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
4. You cannot edit this form once you submit. We strongly recommend you fill out a copy your application in a separate document and save that for reference.
Applications must be received by 11:59pm on August 9, 2014.
Applicants notified: no later than October 1, 2014.
Payments / Reporting:
If you are awarded a grant, you will be expected to file one simple progress report and one simple completion report, which we will send to you at the appropriate times. You will need to sign a grant contract before receiving support. You can read a full copy of the contract here. The key provisions are:
• The filmmaker must produce the film as outlined, to the best of their ability.
• The filmmaker must produce the film within 18 months of the grant award.
• Funds and services will not allocated immediately, but for specific services as needed.
• The filmmaker must allow Rooftop Films the right to screen the film within 12 months of the official world premiere, before theatrical or TV release and preferably before any New York screenings.
Good luck! We're excited to hear about your films, and to help them get made and get screened on the roof.

Gallery: SELSAM SUPERTURBINES: Flying wind-turbines for max power
The higher up in the air you go, the faster wind travels – so naturally the further from the ground a wind-turbines gets, the more efficient it can be. Thats why the idea of a flying wind-turbine is a such a win-win (or win-wind) proposition. Combining wind power with floating blimps, Selsam has been hard at work expanding the horizons of alternative energy with a revolutionary new breed of SuperTurbines that promise to take wind power to new heights.
Resembling a field of wind-swept reeds swaying on the horizon, these floating wind spires boast an ultra-efficient design that flexes with the wind, taking advantage of air currents along the length of their shaft to generate electricity. Selsam's prototypes produce 6000 watts in 32.5 mph winds – six times more power than a similarly sized seven foot single-rotor turbine can produce. The turbines can be easily deployed by land and by sea, and their effectiveness can be amplified even further via an air-born blimp.
We're currently at a bottleneck in the wind turbine pipeline, with GE reporting that it is unable to make turbines fast enough to meet demand. It's no wonder, since the largest turbines have a propeller size that surpasses the wingspan of commercial airliners and require an intricately machined gearbox. This amounts to a time and resource-intensive engineering and assembly process that has production struggling to deliver on a $12 billion backlog of orders.
Selsam's SuperTurbines offer an innovative approach to the problem with a scaled-down system of multi-rotor stalks that are extremely versatile, more efficient, and cheaper and easier to produce than than large lumbering windmills. The design relies upon economy of scale to maximize efficiency, employing multiple rotors along a lightweight, flexible shaft that allows it to shift and move with wind currents. Since the turbines rotate at higher rpms than traditional turbines, a small and light direct-drive generator can be used instead of a hulking gearbox.
Selsam's most recent designs are optimized for sea deployment and consist of a rotor-studded shaft stemming from a floating base that is anchored to the ocean floor. The system is designed so that turbine's base rotates similarly to the human spine, thus the turbines won't twist and spin out of control. In an ingenious answer to stormy weather, the turbine's base can fill with water, submerging it safely beneath the ocean's surface.
In addition to producing energy, the multiple rotors act in unison to keep each stalk afloat; if you're in need of a visual metaphor, Selsam's website supplies them in spades: "Like a flock of geese, each rotor favorably affects the next in line. Like a set of louvres, the tilted rotors pull in fresh wind from above, deflecting their wakes downward to insure fresh wind for succeeding rotors and, like a stack of kites, to add overall lift which helps support the driveshaft against gravity and downwind thrust forces. The rotors act as gyroscopes or spinning tops, stabilizing the driveshaft where they are attached."
When we recently wrote about Sunhope's solar balloons, many people suggested that they take advantage of wind energy as well. It turns out that Selsam is one step ahead of the game with this exciting technology. Let's just hope they find a way to negate the turbines' ominous implication as potential bird blenders.

good idea. and then you start harvesting bodies of local gulls or turns out the low-freq noise from these things distracts some fancy whale specie from mating and some branch of nature lovers organization du jour who love nature more than you will shut this sucker down. OOPS..
sorry dear angel investors we didnt think of that ;(

What about the poor birds who happen to inhabit the coastal areas where this things would reside? Aren't exposed turbines running up and down the stalk of this thing blowing in the breeze a potential disaster for coastal aviary life? I'm also concerned with how close ships could get near the blades. From the 3rd illustration, all it would take is one strong gust to send those propellers into that tanker!

One of the newer Zero team additions, Dane is a good example of a mix of old style of Zero work ethic mixed with today's contemporary approach to mixing tech in with gnar. Burman keeps it fun the whole way through with a unique personality and sense of humor, which perhaps can be partially attributed to him hailing from Australia. Dane is definitely one to watch for where Zero riders will be taking skating in the future.

I was pretty excited to find this recipe - my favorite cafe' makes these humongous crinkles that are so dark they're black! But sadly, although these were pretty good, they were not like the ones at the cafe'. I give it 4 stars because they were fudgy and had a good flavor and everyone liked them, but they just weren't the ones I was hoping for. A note about working with the sticky dough - I'm glad I read other reviews. I put mine in the freezer for about 45 minutes and used spoons to scoop out the dough DIRECTLY into the powdered sugar. Once the dough was in the sugar, they were easy to handle and just plopped into a perfect circle onto the pan. And you MUST used GREASED pans or they WILL stick terribly because of the powdered sugar on the bottom of the cookie.
These were just okay for me. Very cute and pretty, but for some reason I just found them to be kind of plain and tasteless. Sorry

These are my childhood favorite. I make them every christmas. Thing is I'm lazy, so i created a different recipe with the same dough, so i get two types of cookies for the same work. Instead of rolling them in powdered sugar, i roll some in regular granulated sugar and then after they come out of the oven, i pop a hershey hug on top. they're pretty and again, two cookies with the effort of one. no one even recognizes they're the same. easy peasy
This is a yummy-foolproof cookie recipe. To intensify the chocolate "experience," I added 1/2 cup melted bittersweet chocolate and used dutch-processed cocoa powder. For those who are having trouble with the top cracking, here's a tip: Place your cookie sheet on the second to-the-top rack and only bake one cookie sheet at a time. The hot heat at the top of the oven enables the cookie to crack. This trick also works for ginger snaps.
This is a very good recipe. I'm so glad I found it. Since parchment paper is way too valuable in my kitchen for so many cookies, I find a light oiling of the cookie sheet works better for me. The cookies come off much easier than the parchment paper.
I've made these so many times and they always turn out! Make sure to coat them with enough powdered sugar to get them to "crinkle."
Here are some suggestions: Divide the dough into two and spread it out in a plate. Put it in the freezer for 30-45 minutes. Before forming them into balls, get your hands wet so they won't stick to them. You might have to pop them back in the freezer if it's a hot day just DON'T try to handle them when they're warm because you will just be wasting your time. Also, get creative with them! I've made them with cinnamon one time and I coated them with powdered sugar mixed with cinnamon and those turned out GREAT :)
To make these more intensely chocolate I used part black cocoa for about a third of the cocoa called for. The parchment worked like a dream and the cookies, which I coated heavily with powdered sugar, were beautiful. However, hubs said this wasn't his favorite cookie because it tasted like a moist, fudgey brownie. I guess that makes these 5-star cookies.
After mixing up this dough, I was sure I had made a mistake because it was so thin, more like cake batter. Double-checked the recipe and I had done it correctly. I thought to myself that I'd never be able to make cookies out of THAT. I was sure wrong about that! It makes very lovely cookies and not only do they look good, they taste good! They make quite a striking presentation on a holiday cookie tray.

Smoking Joe's BBQ
There are many versions of classic American barbeque, but Memphis-style dry-rub is savory, moist and tender. All our meat is delicatley rubbed with a secret blend of spices to enhance flavor and tenderness, then slow-smoked for several hours—a process that locks in the flavor. If spicy sauce is your game, then you will love Smoking Joe's home made, wiskey-infused barbeque sauces! Generous portions of side dishes like the 'Holy' sweet potato fries, homemade cornbread and our signature potato chips add to the southern charm of Smoking Joe's BBQ & Lounge.
The inviting and soothing ambience complete with lounge, bar, booths and semi-private meeting room has already become a favorite meeting place in Mega Kuningan for the fast-paced businessmen and women.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Iconic "La Miniatura" Millard House Hits the Market for $4.5 Million in Pasadena, California
The Millard house is one of five concrete block homes constructed by Wright in Southern California — others include the Hollyhock House, the Freeman House (under the care of USC), the John Storer House (owned by Hollywood big-wig Joel Silver), and the Ennis House (which you may recognize from Ridley Scott's Blade Runner). The home represents Wright's first foray into modular building, and his efforts to break away from the "prairie house" architectural style that had become synonymous with his name. He turned to concrete as his new building material in 1906 when Alice Millard commissioned him to construct her second home on a lush green site located in Pasadena. Wright challenged himself to only create something beautiful from what he called "the cheapest (and ugliest) thing in the building world", and to develop a new low-cost flexible building system with the same material.
Given the unique location and formation of the site, Wright wanted to design a structure that would meld with the land. The home clings to the lot's steep ravine, nestled within a thicket of trees. To build the blocks, Wright took sand, gravel and minerals found on the property to create earth-toned concrete that would help the building blend with the natural landscape. Wright aligned both the method of building and the aesthetic of La Miniatura with his lifelong love of natural materials and his belief that buildings should belong to their surroundings.
When developing his concrete block technique, Wright used a standardized block as the basic design unit. The blocks were constructed using wooden molds and a tongue and groove system reinforced with conventional mortar. Each of Wright's concrete homes has its own unique block design, and the Millard House features a modernized pre-Columbian motif of a central cross and a square in each corner. Some of the blocks are solid while others are perforated to allow filtered light through the cross, breaking up the dullness and visual mass of the concrete. Moreover, by adding ornamental designs to mass-produced blocks, Wright hoped the blocks could become a "masonry fabric capable of great variety in architectural beauty."
Unfortunately, fabricating the blocks was not as quick and easy as Wright had hoped. While the building system was flexible, it proved to be more expensive than planned, and the house was 70% over budget, totaling $17,000. Some accounts report that the builder walked off the job, leaving Wright to pay for the remaining costs out of his own pocket.

Believe in Your Dreams
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
– Eleanor Roosevelt
Today, I got another email from a parent whose daughter was unjustly cut from her school baseball team. Today's blog is dedicated to Hannah – the beautiful, shy, red head, who has a cannon for an arm and a gold glove in her hands. You are welcome to play for me anytime.
If you tell a girl she can't play baseball, what else will she believe she can't do?
Throughout my baseball career, I have been told what I can't do. I can't play.
I can't coach. I can't ______ (just fill in the blank). And I am not alone.
Girls, like Hannah, are being forced out of baseball. They are told they can't
do it. Sometimes they aren't even allowed to try out. They are simply told
baseball is not for them.
I have a confession… Susan Boyle's "I Dreamed a Dream" is one of my favorite songs. When listening, I close my eyes and imagine Boyle on that stage, with a dream. She is awkward and doesn't seem to look the star part. The audience expects her to fail and perhaps they want her to fail. But Boyle knows what she is capable of. And when she opens her mouth, she sings that song of greatness. And then they all believe.
As a female baseball player and coach, I know all to well about not looking the part. About being awkward. And about having a dream. We all know that feeling. That moment when we are told we are not good enough. Not because of who we are or what we can accomplish but because of how we are seen. We are told things, like: we are not tall enough, or pretty enough, or smart enough. Or worse, the unspoken excuses: our skin is the wrong color, our religion is different, or we are not the right gender. And then we just think to ourselves, if only they would see us for who we are, then they could see us for what we could become.
We all have our Susan Boyle moment. That moment when it seems no one believes in us. Yet there we are, with an opportunity, standing with our own dream. And they may be laughing at us. But we must believe in ourselves and know that when we open our mouth to sing or when we wind up to pitch, greatness will be sure to come.
Hannah – Believe. Your moment will come. Your greatness is within. For I know what the better question is… if you tell a girl she can play baseball what else will she believe she CAN DO?

This is so beautiful and you are so extraordinary! Giving young girls something unique to emulate and aspire to is one of your special gifts, Justine.
When I started umpiring in 1981 I often felt like a lone wolf howling at the moon, and you've expressed those feelings for me perfectly through recounting your own experiences of rejection and disorientation. We, and the young girls who follow in our footsteps, still face those battles every day, and those little voices inside our heads trying to convince us that we aren't worthy, that we don't deserve what we've legitimately earned, that we really don't belong, often seem to be louder than the ones coming from outside. But with you setting an example of what perseverance and and focus can accomplish, no matter how many setbacks occur – and there will be many :-) – the strongest voice will be the one in our hearts shouting, "She Did It – And So Can I!"

I've been doing some research on art schools and just art in general, I think I've finally zero'd in on what I want to do in life, animate.
So, to become a good animator and get picked up by a studio, I need to get into a good art school. And to get into a good art school, I need a portfolio that rocks.
I've been looking at some people's portfolios and its full of life drawing, so that's what I'm working on. Because right now, my life drawing isn't exactly... good.
So I'm planning I'll have some life drawing and then some rocking animations in my portfolio. But first, I need to learn how to draw the human figure.
This'll be my progress forum, please leave some comments and feedback. I want and need to get better and this is my best bet.
I started drawing real people a little while ago, here are the best I think. To see them all. http://photobucket.com/cartoonyanimator
Re: Art School or Bust
I started highschool and basic drawing. Here's everything from week 1:
Re: Art School or Bust
These exercises you're doing are very good practice and just what you should be working on as you begin your education in art. You've got a fun road ahead of you. Remember to take your time and focus on the quality of your art. Good luck!
Re: Art School or Bust
Week 2:
Re: Art School or Bust
Some walk cycles!
Re: Art School or Bust
Very good! I like your walk cycles. They have more structure and are better all around. Your drawings are good too. The more you practice the more you'll improve. Keep it up. By the time you're a senior you'll be in a good place for submitting to an art school.
Re: Art School or Bust
Thanks Charles!
A little bit of gesture drawing before the onslaught of homework
Re: Art School or Bust
A stand up animation
Probably going to do some gesture drawing later this weekend and will scan and upload all the Basic Drawing drawings from week 3 and 4.
Re: Art School or Bust
More Gesture!

Re: Art School or Bust
The stand up animation is very good. Everything else you're showing is good exercise. You know how much I stress giving your art the time it needs to make a strong impression. The more patient you are with each composition, especially at this stage of your development, the better the results. Keep it up, your progress is showing.
Re: Art School or Bust
Thanks Charles!
Here are some life drawings
Re: Art School or Bust
A maya test. Haven't animated a character in 3D in a while, feedback and crit are welcomed...
Re: Art School or Bust
Looking good! Your drawing is coming along too. Let's embed the video...
Re: Art School or Bust

Most recent, added clothes, props, tweaked some movements. All thats left is to add more background stuff and polish, still looking for feedback!
Filling up my sketchbook slowly with my drawings of people, scanner is going crazy right now but hopefully later this weekend I'll post them!
Re: Art School or Bust
Car t00n,
Your post is exactly how I feel. I used to animate in my spare time & now I am retired, so I use my days creating new shorts.
This is my newest:
Do you think I would benefit from a school? I don't have all the money in the world. Enough to take a few.
Thanks everyone,
PS, I posted this in the AN forum, was that wrong?

I know the calculator is for estimates but 50+ amps is a pretty large variation. So what am I missing? All things being equal one of these has to be incorrect??

You're right that Miller should offer some sort of an explanation where they get their calculator numbers. Sure some people may tig 1/4" fillets at 300 amps using 3/16 filler, but a lot more are content at 150 amps with 3/32 or 1/8 filler. Likewise, the butt weld numbers have to be looked at carefully. Preps are commonly v-grooved with a gap (85-110 amps) as compared to trying to blast through a tight fit-up with high amperages.
everybody has their own unique style that will modify those parameters
common sense and experience will mold those in real world terms..
travel speed, torch position etc are all unique to the operator...
the human variables will widen that range....
you could accurately calculate these if it were a robotic or machine application where you could controll all the variables.... but people are not machines....
The more you know, The better you know, How little you know
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten
Buy the best tools you can afford.. Learn to use them to the best of your ability.. and take care of them...

You'd be better off gemming crit, but going for every agility socket bonus. Windwalkers like crit too, so it shouldn't be that bad.
If you can, however, get Rentaki's Soul Charm. It's a really good trinket that provides a boatload of expertise, so when you swap to windwalker, you can swap it out and not have a ton of wasted expertise on your windwalker gear from when you were playing brewmaster.

Experiential Learning
Students in Arizona get credit, and valuable experience, designing and building a house.
While construction technology is advancing rapidly, the way houses are being built today is changing at a moderate pace.The design and construction of buildings has become much more complex over the past 50 years, with the introduction of insulation, forced-air systems, and tighter building envelopes, and with a more fundamental understanding of the building sciences. This complexity has created an interior microclimate that has changed the way buildings perform in their particular environments and the way occupants live in that space.To further complicate the building process,many houses have become more difficult to build, because architects are producing more complex designs (see "New Construction Report Card,"HE Jan/Feb '03, p. 18).There is also a growing awareness of the detrimental ecological consequences of building with no consideration given to sustainable building practices.
Many of these changes in building technology have occurred in a relatively short span of time, and not all builders are keeping up with these advances. Besides, many builders say, their clients aren't asking for more energy-efficient technology, or for the use of sustainable materials.That may be true for now, but the times are changing.As our fuel resources begin to dwindle and become more expensive, builders will be facing more demand for green building, especially as more people become aware of the damage—to their environment, their health, and their bank accounts— caused by poor building practices.
In response to these concerns, a number of organizations, both private and public, have written specifications, checklists, and guidelines to help buyers determine if the house they are considering is certified as an energy-efficient or healthy house.An Energy Star-certified house is becoming synonymous with an energy-efficient house.The American Lung Association Health House organization has recently published new standards for healthy-house certification. Other organizations, too, have well-established criteria for energy-efficient and/or green-built houses.
Education Is Key
Lack of access to education is one reason why builders are not building— and home buyers are not buying— energy- and resource-efficient, environmentally responsive, healthy houses as a matter of routine. Many designers and builders have neither the inclination nor the time to go back into the classroom, but there are training opportunities for both the novice or the experienced builder who want to build energy- and resource-efficient, healthy, and affordable housing (see "Guide to Training Programs," p. 23). One way a person can learn to build houses the right way and earn a degree while doing it is through the Construction Technology program at Yavapai College in Prescott,Arizona, where I teach.
This construction program has existed for 23 years. It is one of the most progressive and innovative building science and construction technology programs available. Each year students actually design and build a house integrating current building science principles with mainstream construction practices. Students can earn an advanced certificate or an associate of applied science degree, or prepare for transfer to a four-year university.Areas of emphasis include architectural graphics, commercial construction management, residential construction management, and residential building technology.Professionals currently working in the construction industry can enroll in specific courses and take advantage of opportunities to upgrade their existing skills or stay current with the latest advances in building technologies.
Construction Technology Program
The Construction Technology program begins when a lot is purchased in a local subdivision. Second-year architectural graphics students are then given the assignment of designing a house specifically for that lot.They are given a list of building requirements and specifications and specific technologies that must be incorporated into each student's individual design.The specs include multiple returns and a balanced air distribution system, a sealed duct system inside the conditioned space, a super insulated and airtight building envelope, radiant in-floor heating, and a heat recovery ventilation system with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration.Add to that passive-solar design, an active-solar hot water system, high-performance windows, sealed-combustion appliances, energy-efficient lighting, no- or lowvolatile organic compound (VOC) interior finishes, and rainwater catchment. The list goes on. It's a major challenge for students to incorporate these technologies into their design.
During the two semesters it takes to complete the design, faculty spend considerable time going over the requirements and technologies with the students' input. Faculty and classmates critique the designs to emulate the client/architect relationship. Students are encouraged to be creative yet meet the client's needs.At year's end, a completed house plan is selected to be constructed by residential building technology students the following semester.
Each year residential building technology students, using appropriate technologies, build a house that is energy and resource efficient, safe, comfortable, healthy, affordable, durable, and green built. Students work together to perform all the tasks required to build the house, except for the plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, cabinets, stucco, and tile roof, which we subcontract. We select subcontractors who will both instruct students and allow them to assist in the installations. Students are acutely aware of air, moisture, and thermal barrier details, and therefore do the necessary prep work before the subcontractors arrive. In this way, students are encouraged to develop a basic knowledge of all the trades in order to grasp the concept that a house needs to be built as a system if it is to perform efficiently.
The houses are approximately 2,000 ft2 (unless we build one with a basement, which we sometimes do) and sell for approximately $260,000.The last house (2003) cost $90/ft2 to build, plus $46,000 for the lot.The profit goes toward scholarships. Students work at the site 20 hours a week for 15 weeks for two semesters. Because the students do so much of the work, our labor costs are low.This enables us to introduce and teach students a variety of new and appropriate technologies to which they might not otherwise be exposed.
We use the Scottsdale,Arizona Green Building program checklist and rating system to certify our houses as green built.Although we are not certified by the American Lung Association Health House organization,we use their criteria for building a healthy house, because indoor air quality is a high priority.We use the Energy and Environmental Building Association (EEBA) Builder's Guide, Hot-Dry Climates as one of our texts.
Report Card and Invitation
The houses are independently tested for energy efficiency through Duct Blaster and blower door tests.Advanced Insulation, Incorporated, in Prescott, performed a blower door test on our 2003 house. EEBA recommends an ACH of 3 or less, and the very stringent Canadian standard is 1.5 ACH or less. Advanced Insulation measured 1.4 ACH at a house pressure of 50 Pa, or 365 CFM50.We measured the ducts in this house for leakage during the construction process, and found just over 1%, which was directly attributed to leaks in the air handler and heat recovery ventilation units.We sealed these leaks.
Advanced Insulation's final report on the 2002 house included this affirmation: "The college house is more advanced in terms of incorporation of systems and technologies to enhance the healthfulness, comfort, safety, and efficiency than the majority of the homes built in Prescott today."
Many of our graduates have gone on to become successful tradespeople, drafters, subcontractors, foremen, superintendents, general contractors, project managers, construction managers, designers, architects, building inspectors, and energy efficiency consultants.Their knowledge and enthusiasm have contributed significantly to the residential construction industry.
ewcomers and veteran builders interested in learning about building houses that are energy and resource efficient and environmentally responsive should explore the Construction Technology program at Yavapai College. Not only do we have a progressive residential construction program, but we also have a wonderful year-round climate in the mountains of north central Arizona.

The result of Jackson's so-called "best thing he ever did" was this:
That's only a seven year economic depression. No biggie. And like I said, it wasn't even mostly a policy decision. Jackson hated the guy who was running the bank at the time and ended the charter to get back at him.
I couldn't agree with Walrus more. It is so much easier to categorize things as good and bad rather than see the grey in them. I feel like most of the media (including online) does it as well. Any time I want to look up something, I have to go through several sources before I actually find details. Details which tell a very different story than the short news reports tell.
Everyone was so upset about the Patriot Act renewal, but if you actually read the three provisions that were renewed, they are a far cry from the general term of "unconstitutional spying".
The same goes for the NDAA. Everyone likes to say, "the NDAA allows the US to detain citizens, who are abroad, indefinately. That is clearly 100% bad". But dealing with terrorism overseas is extremely complicated. It's not like we have the resources to build a case by the book against people who are half way around the world (not to mention to do it safely). Should we put the lives of law abiding citizens in jeopardy in order to protect the liberties of a citizen who has left the country to take up arms against it?
I don't necessarily agree with all of these policies, but I think they have legitimate arguments to make.
Yes, this is a TV show and the subject is slightly different, but I think it's a good scene that somewhat illustrates my point.
Today, WikiLeaks posted video of a U.S. Army helicopter opening fire, unprovoked, on a group of about a dozen people in New Baghdada group that included a Reuters photographer and his driver, who were both killed, and several children, who were injured. According to a New York Times article published at the time of the incident, American troops were conducting a raid when they were hit by small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades. The American troops called in reinforcements and attack helicopters. In the ensuing fight, the statement said, the two Reuters employees and nine insurgents were killed. WikiLeaks also notes that the military did not reveal how the Reuters staff were killed, and stated that they did not know how the children were injured. After demands by Reuters, the incident was investigated and the U.S. military concluded that the actions of the soldiers were in accordance with the law of armed conflict and its own Rules of Engagement.

The NSA doesn't give a **** about the constitution or rights, if they want the information they are going to get it and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. I believe it is honestly all a shell game and there is a modus of operandi in place to ensure information and intelligence can be gathered without the publics scrutiny.
a) The FBI rises to power collecting and gathering huge amounts of sensitive information leading to eventual public scrutiny
b) The CIA enters the picture as a young start up hardly drawing public attention while the FBI is hammered in openly public investigations
c) The Department for Homeland Security is a young start up agency hardly drawing public attention while the CIA is hammered openly in public investigations.
It just passes along the ability to operate outside the bounds of the constitution and anyone who thinks agencies like the FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland, etc...don't operate outside the constitution is a fool.

Shocking test have made physicists question Albert Einstein's cardinal rule of physics: nothing is faster than the speed of light. At the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN), OPERA, a team of physicists, shot neutrinos out of a particle accelerator and measured how long it took the particles to travel to a neutrino detector. Neutrinos are subatomic particles that have very little mass and can zoom through planets like they were not even there.
It was expected that these particles would be close in speed to light. However, their speed was 60 nanoseconds faster than expected, surprising many scientists. Although a nanosecond seems very small, over a distance of 621 miles, neutrinos would travel about 66 feet farther than light travels in the same time. If this discovery is accurate, it would be "revolutionary", according to physicist Stephen Parke, because most theorists believe nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.
A number of physicists have been skeptical about this finding because it would wreak havoc on scientific theories of cause and effect. Speculation looms that there might be instrument errors among the OPERA team causing these findings to be inaccurate. Louis Striggari, an astrophysicist at Stanford University, said, "There have been several instances where, through no fault of the experimenters, the equipment was not understood as well as it needed to be."
Even the OPERA team is being cautious about their findings allowing others to repeat the experiment. However, over the past month, many different physicists have had trouble repeating the experiment. There have been no concrete findings yet and physicists will continue experimenting with neutrinos.

The Kane Middle School girls basketball seventh- and eighth-grade teams traveled to St Marys on Friday afternoon to take on Elk County Catholic.
ECCŌĆÖs eighth-grade team avenged an early season loss to Kane in their tournament by beating the Lady Wolves 25-20. The seventh-grade team lost to the Crusaders by a score of 34-10 in the early game.
CURWENSVILLE ŌĆō For the second straight week, the Kane Wolves (2-3) played an undefeated AML South rival. For the second straight week, the Wolves fell behind early, fought back and played close for nearly four quarters only to come up short down the stretch. On Friday night at CurwensvilleŌĆÖs Riverfront Stadium, the Wolves lost 36-20 to the Golden Tide (5-0) to drop to 2-3 on the season.
Mrs. Joanne Spence Lacy, 83, of Sheffield, went to be with the Lord on Sept. 27, 2012 at 5:30 p.m. in the Rouse Warren County Home.
Joanne was born in Kane on April 12, 1929, to the late Winfield and Carrie Simpson Spence.
Mrs. Lacy enjoyed traveling with her husband D.L. in their Winnebago with their camping club. She also enjoyed baking, making the best pies ever, but her greatest love was her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Employed at Sylvania, she retired after 25 years service.
The Kane Wolves lost a 52-40 shootout to undefeated Brockway last Friday night at Paul R Miller Stadium. The Rovers took the opening kickoff and marched downfield for an early score. The Wolves offense answered back, but that set the tone for the nightŌĆöwith Brockway going ahead, the Wolves scoring to stay within striking distance. Unfortunately, the Wolves couldnŌĆÖt keep up with the scoring pace and the Rovers sealed the victory with a touchdown in the final minutes.
Numerous studies have shown that "buying locally" strengthens the economic base for a community.
That's why Kane area residents are being asked to show more support for their own local hospital.
"We really need to stick together and pull together," Gary Rhodes said Thursday. He has worked at Kane Community Hospital (KCH) for 25 years and has been the chief executive officer (CEO) for the past 16 years.
Donations have been rolling in to help cover the cost of repairs at the skate/bike facility at Glenwood Park in Kane.
More than $4,000 has been raised so far for the work at the wooden ramps.┬Ā
Until work is completed and the facility passes inspection by an insurance representative, the borough continues to mark the skate/bike ramps off limits to riders.
Two events to assist the skate/bike park are set for today. Demonstrations and music will be featured at the site from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
There might not be an easier way to raise money for student groups at Kane Area High School.
The Ford Motor Company will donate $20 for every person who goes behind the wheel Saturday and ŌĆ£test drivesŌĆØ a new Ford vehicle. In addition, the company will donate a ŌĆ£bonusŌĆØ of $10 for every ŌĆ£test driveŌĆØ in a 2013 Ford Escape.
Ford will donate up to $8,000 under the program to benefit the ŌĆ£Hurri-KaneŌĆØ school yearbook, the Class of 2014 (juniors), the Class of 2015 (sophomores) and the Kane chapter of Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD).
It was a successful first Career and College Night at Kane Area High School.
The event, which was held Wednesday evening in conjunction with open house at the school, gave parents and students a chance to visit with representatives from colleges, industry and the military services.
"It was really a good idea," Phillip Carlson of Mt. Jewett said in commenting on the program in the school gymnasium. "It gives parents the chance to go from table to table to see what's available for their children."
ST.

Portland, Ore. -- (OPB) The Portland Trail Blazers will take on the Houston Rockets in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
The Blazers closed the regular season with a winning record and will travel to Houston to open up the series on Sunday.
The Blazers won nine of their last 10 games. They ended the season with 54 wins and 28 losses. That's the same record as the Rockets, but the Blazers lost home court advantage because they had a losing record against the Rockets during the regular season.
Both teams have two All-Stars on their rosters. The Blazers have LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard. The Rockets have James Harden and Dwight Howard.
Ben Golliver writes the Blazers' Edge blog. He says this match up is the exact opposite of boring.
"Any time you've got four All-Stars on the court, two teams that like to go up and down, and really trust their offenses and they love to shoot, you know if you're a basketball purist, I think you're going to be really liking this series because it should be really fun," he said.
The Blazers haven't been to the playoffs since 2011, when they fell to the Dallas Mavericks in the first round.
