Miracle Studios update
Hello Animation Nationers,
If you would like to see what we have been up to in the last MANY months of developing our 2D animated project, we have "some" new(and some old) content on our hignitesmiraclestudios.com website.
Best wishes and blessings to all,
Tom Hignite
P.S. Tim and Troy are not at our Wisconsin studio. Troy is a sucessful and beloved animation teacher in Savanah GA and Tim is with his wonderful family in Orlando Florida and seemed happy when we last met/lunched last month.
Re: Miracle Studios update
Hey Tom, here's a direct link to your site.
The backgrounds are looking very nice. Good production quality and the animation I've seen so far is smooth. Do you have anything up on YouTube?
Good luck with the Miracle Mouse cartoon, wishing you the best in your efforts to bring it to completion.
Re: Miracle Studios update
Thanks for the comments Charles,
No I do not have anything related to Miracle Mouse on YouTube although I have considered putting our current 27 minute (condensed version of our feature, used to test audiences of various ages from grade schoolers to pros and students of the Milwaukee animation group/club)animatic onto You Tube, but did not want to spoil letting the whole story be revealed early.
The backgrounds were painted(are still being painted as we go) by the talented Micheal Lowerey. The layouts for the backgrounds you see in our short sizzle-reel animatic were done by my hand with one being done by our staffer Philo Barnhart.
I did the boards and Philo did most all of the finished character art for the animatic. We are still tweaking the sounds(too much reverb on some scenes of our antagonist, for one example).
Next week , we are scheduled to have yet another voice session with main characters on an ISBN line from LA.
Comments good or bad are welcomed as we are trying to improve the project with every pass.
Tom Hignite
P.S. Keep up the good work Charles!
Re: Miracle Studios update
Thank you Tom. If you were to upload the promotional video you have featured on your site on either YouTube or Vimeo it can be embedded on the forums and I can showcase what you're doing on AN's homepage.
Re: Miracle Studios update
THanks Charles,
I instructed my web person to get us on YouTube with our Sizzle Reel and he is doing so. I will let you know when it gets done.

Re: Miracle Studios update
Hello again All,
Charles, the Miracle Mouse "sizzle reel" is now posted to YouTube. It can be found under MIRACLE MOUSE NEW 2D ANIMATED MOVIE.
I have heard from several of you about the posting and one person/artist requested I also include my private direct e-mail address. It is firstname.lastname@example.com.
For those of you who have heard our music tracks, I would be interested in what you think of them, good or not. This coming week, we are re-voicing some of our singing with our main character voices.
Thank you Charles and all for your comments and such.

Re: Miracle Studios update
Great! Now we can do something with it...
Re: Miracle Studios update
Hello all,
(Charles, if you prefer I start a new thread on this "off-shoot" subject, let me know)
In 2011, we produced what I refer to as our 27 minute ROUGH animatic for our feature 2D film,of Miracle Mouse. I believe most animatics are made for the animation staff to view and better understand what does and does not work. I am not sure if anyone out their has ever seen an animatic done in such a way that it is polished enough to show to a public(non-animation savy) audience? If so, can you give me some examples?
The bigger question I am asking is if any of you have ever seen a fully colored-type (most frames look like they came from a finished movie but they have very limited movements/camera moves) animatic? I am asking because this is what we tried to do on our first 27 minute version and , as I thought about it, I have seen many rough pencil animatics(shots of story panels with a scratch soundtrack) but the only real good such polished animatic I am recalling is the old Disney "Baby Weems" bit they did in Reluctant Dragon back in the 50's.
If there are more such fully colored(but limited movement) animatics out there, I would love to see them. If you are looking for an example fo what I mean, our video sizzle-reel we are playing on our site hignitesmiraclestudios or (now, thanks to Charles suggestion) on You Tube, shows a little section of our animatic where our antagonist is chasing the ducks off his dock.Are we doing something rare or common?
The last question on fully rendered(I guess tht is what you could call what we tried to do) animatics is, is there a venue where such limited animations could be shown,enjoyed, and turn a profit without needing the full animation before it could go public?
Why is no one doing this? (One person I asked did a shoulder-shrug and said "they" do this all the time. It is called "Saturday Morning" cartoons), but I think he was joking)
If you have ever seen such animatics,or have a notion why this is not done commonly to woo investors or test audiences(as we did)or whatever , PLEASE, let me know.

Re: Miracle Studios update
Tom, you're on the homepage for this date.
Dedicated article here.
As far as animatics go, I can't recall offhand seeing one complete in color as if it was a finished production. My feeling is that if you're going to make the effort to completely produce an animatic, why not go ahead and release it as a cartoon if it's animated enough. Simple, efficient animation as we'd see in a limited animation TV show might work. It's a method best utilized with a limited budget and a need to get content out the door. Personally, I'd go with it along with a good story if the situation warranted.
In any case, wishing you continued progress with your projects Tom.
Re: Miracle Studios update
Hi Charles,
It is not so much that I would abandon the original idea of completing our full 2D feature,(that has been and still remains our end-goal) I am just hoping to maybe create something of a new form of limited animation entertainment (in doing a fully rendered/colored animatic)along the way.
When we were starting our first animatic, it occurred to me that if we polished the drawings so each appeared to be an actual frame from a finished movie, that if we had an excellent sound track, we might be able to preview this to audiences with little need to explain our production's lack of polish upfront.
The main deficiency in this type of animatic(?) is the lack of full body and mouth movements. What we found when we have previewed this "fully rendered" animatic in front of school groups is that after about a minute of viewing, the kids seem to get past the lack of total movement and seem be able to emerse themselves into the story and characters. This is suggested by the fact that we have often received spontaneous laughs and applause which seem to indicate the format is enjoyable to some extent.
The other advantage is that we are able to really convey to our future animation artists a very precise idea of what the finished product must look like.Sort of like doing keys for story beats that include the visuals/backgounds.
Again, what started this whole new thread direction is that I was wondering if anyone else has either done an animatic this way or if anyone has seen any finshed productions that are done using(essentially)what appears to be movie stills?
Tom Hignite
Re: Miracle Studios update
I can't think of an animatic that was produced in the way you describe, as an animatic. I can recall many times seeing animation that was very limited and could've been a borderline animatic by its very nature.
My suggestion, for whatever it's worth and as it applies to what you're goals are with your property, would be to get it out. Even if it's limited animation, or not as fully realized movement wise as you would like. In your description, you mention how kids react to the animation even when it's in an animatic form. Full movement is beautiful but oftentimes not necessary especially when it becomes a matter of whether or not the film gets done. It's the characters and the story that matter, along with good graphics, as you yourself experienced with the screenings of your project. Look at anime. It can be very limited, almost animatic, yet it works and audiences don't seem to mind.
If you've got the resources, personnel and time to do full animation, great. If not, do the best you can with what you've got.
Anyway, that's my take on it Tom. Whatever you have in mind as far as an animatic goes, if you animate the mouth and put in movement when necessary, you can continue to produce Miracle Mouse cartoons more efficiently and fully animate when the opportunity arises.

George Strait Concert Tickets
For a long time it seemed like the great George Strait had beaten Father Time as he toured almost every year and still cranked out number one hits. At last count, his world record total is 59 number-one hits, more than any other musician regardless of genre. He's sold more than 70 million albums over his career — that's more than Garth — and just about every George Strait concert for the past 20 years has been sold out. Now he's announced that this George Strait tour will be his last, as if you couldn't figure that out by the name of "The Cowboy Rides Away Tour." This is going to be an epic tour and your last chance to see a living legend in concert, so now is the time to buy your George Strait concert tickets.
Even though he's only 60 years old and much younger than the likes of Willie Nelson, Strait has said he wants to spend more time with his family on his Texas ranch and also watching his favorite team, the San Antonio Spurs. While you cannot rule out the possibility of a few more George Strait concert tour dates in the future, he seems serious when he says this will be his final tour. He certainly doesn't need the money, so if you've passed up the opportunity to see him live because you figured you'd catch him "next time," just remember there might not be a next time. So check out the George Strait Cowboy Rides Away Tour schedule and buy your George Strait tickets now.
The amazing part of George Strait's career has been how hard he has worked. In addition to almost constant touring with the likes of Reba McEntire and Martina McBride, he's put out a remarkable number of albums, including one new record every year from '81 to '94. He started to space out his albums a bit more in recent years, but since the turn of the century he still managed to put out eight records and all of them have added to his legacy as the most popular and successful country artist of all time. This is your final chance to see a George Strait concert, so get your George Strait seats before it's too late.

Gallery: Crissy Field Center is Dedicated to Environmental Youth Educat...
Crissy Field Center is a state-of-the-art youth education facility that includes classrooms, a science lab, an art room, an administrative space and the Beach Hut cafe. Children from around the Bay Area come to the center on school field trips and can also take classes to learn about the environment, plants, animals and much more. The smart building works to minimize energy use with the help of a building monitoring system, natural daylighting, a cool roof membrane, low-e windows, and a tight, insulating thermal envelope. The 7,500 sq ft facility does not have air conditioning and instead relies on natural ventilation for cooling when needed.
The project was completed in a short 9 months using Project Frog's panelized prefab building kit. Inside the building features low or no VOC materials, salvaged redwood, InterfaceFlor carpet tiles made with 70% recycled content, and sustainable and reclaimed furniture an cabinets. The roof features both a solar thermal system for hot water as well as a photovoltaic system to generate electricity. Soon the facility will also have four wind turbines for additional energy generation. Rainwater is collected from the roof and provides 85% of the water needed to flush the toilets inside. The project is currently seeking LEED Platinum certification and was awarded the Green Building Award (Northern California) from California Construction's Best of 2010 and the National Park Service's 2011 "Building the Future" Environmental Acheivement Award.

Registered and Licensed Dietitian
If you are interested in saving money and living a healthier lifestyle (and who isn't?) Medical Nutrition Therapy can help.
Medical Nutrition Therapy is a cost-effective and medically necessary part of the comprehensive services we offer at MedCentral. It can improve a person's overall health and quality of life, effectively treat and manage disease conditions, reduce complications of disease and decrease or eliminate the need for prescription drugs.
Studies report a health care savings of three to ten dollars for every dollar spent on Medical Nutrition Therapy. It includes the assessment of a person's nutrition status by a Registered Dietitian followed by appropriate therapy, such as:
Nutrition services provided at MedCentral include:
Hospital Care: Nutrition therapy for patients in the hospital, including screening, assessment, diet modification, counseling and specialized nutrition therapies as mentioned above. Nutrition assessment has been shown to reduce admission rates by 4 percent and decrease costs by about $6 million during the first year of a nutrition assessment program. Studies indicate that more than 50 percent of patients entering a hospital are malnourished or at risk for malnutrition, with 30 percent showing improvement after nutrition therapy.
Outpatient Counseling: Individualized guidance on food selection and meal preparation for disease management and prevention of complications. Clients get the tools they need to take charge of their nutrition health and overall well-being. The more than $33 billion spent each year on diabetes, heart disease, cancer and stroke are attributed to poor nutrition. About 33 percent (about 800,000) of all U.S. deaths each year are a result of behaviors such as poor eating habits.
Home Care and Hospice: Nutrition services similar to those provided in the hospital, yet provided in the home to the client and caregivers based on their needs. Inadequate nutrition in home care can lead to skin breakdown and wounds, or impede the healing process of wounds. The incidence of wounds in home care is 7-12 percent, and annual costs for wound care treatment are estimated to be $5 billion to $8.5 billion. Providing patients and caregivers with guidance for adequate nutrition at home can decrease the incidence of wounds and health care costs.
Community Service: Nutrition presentations to groups on a wide range of topics, as well as participation in health fairs, support groups and other community events. Over the past 20 years, research has clearly shown the benefit of nutrition on exercise performance. Nutrition therapy for community sports teams can help athletes select food, fluids and supplements and choose their mealtimes for optimal health and performance.
Diabetes Education: Registered Dietitians work closely with Registered Nurses to provide comprehensive care for successful self-management of diabetes. The program includes education about self-monitoring of blood glucose, diet and exercise, medications, motivation and behavior modification. Nutrition therapy is an essential component of treatment and prevention of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Research shows that people with heart disease and diabetes who receive Medical Nutrition Therapy regularly have a much better chance of managing their disease. They require fewer medications, hospitalizations and surgeries and have fewer complications.
If you would like to benefit from nutrition therapy, ask your doctor for a referral to a Registered Dietitian. For more information, call 419-520-2550.

easyJet Celebrates 15th Birthday Milestone
easyJet, the UK's largest airline is celebrating 15 years of making air travel affordable for all.
On 10yj November 1995 the inaugural easyJet flight departed from London Luton for Glasgow Airport with the strap line ' making flying as affordable as a pair of jeans - £29 one way'. The airline has remained true to its roots and has reduced the cost of flying further by providing today's passengers with even lower fares to Glasgow starting from £23.99.
Since its very first flight, the low-fares airline has transported more than 330 million passengers and operates over 500 routes to 123 airports in 29 countries. Today, more than 300m Europeans living within one hour's drive of an easyJet airport.
Over the past 15 years easyJet has revolutionised travel by introducing new destinations that previously were either inaccessible or unaffordable and flying to the main airports at far more reasonable fares.
Carolyn McCall, easyJet CEO said: "We're really proud to be celebrating 15 successful years. easyJet has come a long way since that very first flight to Glasgow. We've grown to become the UK's leading airline and have Europe's number one air transport network. This is a fantastic accolade and is testament to the hard work and commitment of the whole easyJet team. We're looking forward to the next 15 years, continuing to provide a fantastic service along with our famous low fares."
Simon Calder, award winning Travel Journalist said: "In the past 15 years, easyJet has revived moribund airports such as Liverpool and Luton; connected Northern Ireland and Scotland to Europe; and flown more than one quarter of a billion people in absolute safety, enabling us to sunbathe, shop or slog away at work for fares that the traditional airlines pretended were unfeasible."
easyJet's 15 Years in Numbers
easyJet is the UK's largest airline by passenger number Over 15 years the equivalent of 5% of the World's population has travelled with easyJet easyJet cabin crew have served 28,796,475 tasty bacon baguettes 95,481,345 hot drinks have been consumed by thirsty passengers easyJet has a leading presence on Europe's top 100 routes and at Europe's 50 largest airports Over the last 10 years, easyJet has reduced CO2 emissions per passenger km by 25% by investing in the latest technology Its 200 state-of-the-art aircraft are only 3.4 years old More than 15 million people visit easyJet.com every month. That's more than the combined populations of London, Paris and Berlin. easyJet is in the top ten of the world's biggest airlines

Goodbye Astrodome, Hello sunshine! Open-air baseball is back in Houston. The beautiful, quirky, retractable-roofed ballpark has finally arrived, and has created havoc to pitchers' ERAs as the Home Run train just keeps on rollin'. Back on opening day, no one knew the offensive fireworks that were about to take place. With Octavio Dotel facing Philadelphia Phillies' leadoff man Doug Glanville on a hazy April afternoon, and the hopes of Texas baseball fans at an all-time high...SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall.

What loci are amplified by the PowerPlex® ESX and ESI Systems?
The five-dye PowerPlex® ESX and ESI Systems each contain the five new loci selected by the European Network of Forensic Science Institutes (ENFSI) and European DNA Profiling (EDNAP) Group (D10S1248, D22S1045, D2S441, D12S391 and D1S1656) as well as 11 other loci commonly used throughout Europe (D8S1179, D18S51, D21S11, FGA, TH01, vWA, D2S1338, D3S1358, D16S539, D19S433 and the sex-determining marker Amelogenin). The PowerPlex® ESX Systems deliver the D10S1248, D22S1045 and D2S441 loci as miniSTRs (<125bp) and D12S391 and D1S1656 as midiSTRs (125–185bp). The PowerPlex® ESI Systems include the new ENFSI/EDNAP loci but focus on miniaturization of current European Standard Set (ESS) loci: Amplification products for seven of the ten commonly used European loci, including D3S1358, D19S433, D16S539, D18S51, D8S1179, TH01 and vWA, are all less than 230 bases in length. The smaller FGA alleles also are less than 230 bases. Both the ESX and ESI formats are available with and without SE33.
Which dye set and run module do I use for PowerPlex® 5-dye matrix generation on my ABI PRISM® instrument?
Dye sets and run modules vary with the instrument type and data collection software version used. See Table 1.
Can I use the same run modules and injection settings for both matrix generation and sample analysis?
No, the run modules and injection settings used for sample runs differ from those used for matrix generation. See Table 2.
The PowerPlex® ESI Allelic Ladder fragments analyzed using my ABI PRISM® 310 Genetic Analyzer are not assigned properly. Allele calls at D1S1656, D2S441 and/or D12S391 are missing (Figure 1). What can I do?
Poor resolution of alleles, especially those that are 1 base apart in larger loci, results in fewer peaks than the GeneMapper® ID software expects at the locus. As a consequence, the software does not label peaks at this locus and does not shift the location of bins to match the observed sizing of alleles at that locus. Figure 2 shows examples of good and poor resolution of alleles in the D1S1656 allelic ladder.
Panel A. Poor resolution of D1S1656 allelic ladder fragments. Alleles are not assigned. Panel B. Good resolution of D1S1656 allelic ladder fragments. Alleles are called correctly.
I do not have the GS STR POP6 (1ml) G5v2.md5 module installed on my ABI PRISM® 310 Genetic Analyzer. What can I do?
You can easily create the GS STR POP6 (1ml) G5v2.md5 module by following the instructions below.
When using the Applied Biosystems 3130 or 3130xl Genetic Analyzer, I see imbalance across the dyes in my PowerPlex® ESX or ESI DNA profiles, with the blue and green signals more dominant than yellow and red signals. What can I do?
If the balance of the allelic ladder profile also is poor, double-check that you used the correct dye set and run module to generate the matrix. Be sure to use the recommended G5 dye set; use of "Any 5 Dye" as the dye set during capillary electrophoresis will result in yellow and red signals being lower than blue and green signals.
If the balance of the allelic ladder profiles looks good and only the sample profiles are imbalanced, consult the troubleshooting steps below.
1. Double-check your DNA elution buffer.We recommend the use of TE–4 Buffer to elute DNA samples. If you are using the "traditional" TE Buffer, which has a higher EDTA concentration, the EDTA can chelate Mg2+ ions in the amplification reaction. The DNA polymerase will be negatively affected by the lower Mg2+ concentration, resulting in poor amplification of fragments labeled with the red dye.
Compare the compositions of TE–4 Buffer and TE Buffer:
2. Double-check the thermal cycling protocol.We recommend the following protocol for the GeneAmp® PCR System 9700 and 2720 thermal cyclers:
96°C for 2 minutes, then
94°C for 30 seconds 59°C for 2 minutes 72°C for 90 seconds for 30 cycles, then
60°C for 45 minutes
4°C soak
Note: For optimal results, the thermal cycler must accurately heat and cool reactions to the programmed temperatures. Annealing temperatures higher than 59°C can cause imbalance of your profiles. In particular, the D8S1179 and FGA loci are sensitive to higher annealing temperatures and will exhibit a dramatic decrease in peak heights with a 2°C increase in annealing temperature. In the PowerPlex® ESI system, both of these loci are in the red channel. To minimize temperature inaccuracies during PCR cycling, calibrate your thermal cyclers on a routine basis.
How can I improve resolution of allele fragments?
There are several things that you can do to improve resolution.

yikes (2006-13)
Silent Night, Flashy Lights
by Lucy Sieger
I'm fairly understated when it comes to my own personal aesthetics—you'd never describe me as trendy or flashy—but when it comes to Christmas lights, gaudier is better.
One night, my husband and I take a drive around town to scope out this year's displays. We start out in our own neighborhood, Sequoyah Hills, but quickly get bored. The grande dame old houses along Cherokee Boulevard like to play it safe. Oh, once in a while you see a daring roofline dotted with lights, or a dramatic tree scraping the black sky with its brightly etched branches (bet they leave those up all year, by the way). For the most part, however, it's elegant white candles in the windows, or a spotlight on the wreathed front door. Every house is the equivalent of Audrey Hepburn's little black dress. I think of our own strings of white lights, always correct. Yawn.
We're looking for more Dolly than Audrey, so we drive to some of the subdivisions out west. You know the type, where a French chateau looks like it took a wrong turn and wound up on a third of an acre in Knoxville—right next to an expatriated villa from Tuscany.
This is where the fun begins. These Christmas lights shimmer with the philosophy of their homeowners—bigger is better. After all, thousands of lights can make a 7,000 square foot stucco mansion positively homey!
We see a disturbing pattern, however. Many poor little shrubs are haphazardly draped with chintzy square loincloths of lights. It's as if they're wearing hospital johnnies and their backsides are flapping in the wind. How can people buy a million-dollar house but leave their shrubs half-naked in the cold? Isn't there a protective covenant against such unsightliness?
I decide to look past these cases of shrub abuse and enjoy the show. Before long, I'm bemused by another trend—huge blow-up Santas perched jauntily amongst the lights. I try to remember if we saw these last year when my husband interrupts my reverie: "Look honey, that house has a big turd!"
What? Are the blow-up Santas biologically correct? It must be a huge turd to be spotted from our car, in the dark! I quickly turn and see a French chateau with a large turret, not a turd. I'm feeling a little queasy due to the architectural dissonance and the near-turd sighting, so we rather desperately escape.
We find ourselves in a middle-income area that is unshackled by elegant discretion or nouveau riche splashiness. These are heartfelt displays by do-it-yourselfers. No fancy tree display companies with their lofty cranes in these neighborhoods. I envision the homeowners perched on their shaky ladders. The effect is positively homegrown, with endearing flaws. Got a few extra yards of lights after decorating your carport? Just throw 'em on that tree over there. The odd shrub is draped in loopy strings of lights, as if decorated by a child. Christmas trees adorned with multi-colored blinking lights shine through front windows. Occasionally, plastic reindeers graze stiffly across front yards. Every house is different, and every house is interesting.
Sometimes, we see large signs proclaiming, "Jesus is the reason for the season." I like that statement. It strikes me as nondenominational, even inclusive. You can be a Biblical literalist, a liberal Christian, an atheist, a Buddhist, a Jew. But hey, no Jesus, no Christmas! You can't argue with that! On this conclusive note, we head home.
There's a shocking postscript to all this Christmas light voyeurism and armchair sociological analysis. You see, our trees have traditionally gone the understated white light route—I'm from uptight Olde New England, after all. At Christmastime, every antique house had a single white candle in each window and a simple wreath on the front door. It has never occurred to me to deviate from this safe holiday formula.
But soon after our ride, I go to Target and buy—of all things—red lights. Boxes of them. Wincing, my husband strings them on our tree. And you know what, we love them. Our living room is an absolute red light district. I feel daring, avant-garde, even a little racy, as I bathe in the soft pink glow of our tree.
It's good to break out a little bit. I think Dolly would be proud.

Bottom tier trolling right here, folks.
this is deff a troll job though, so i shouldn't be taking the bait
Oh so we are taking advice from Skip Bayless now?? Now I know you are trolling. Whats wrong get stood up tonight? If your boss says "I would really like to do this" even after airing your concerns what are you going to say?
Holmgrem was an assitant/coordinator for 12 years.
Belichick was a coordinator for 15 years before his first head coaching gig, and then a coordinator for another 5 until the patriots gig
Coughlin took 29 years to get his first NFL headcoaching Job.
Shanahan took 25 years to become a legit NFL head coach (if you don't count the 1 year for the LA Raiders)
Romeo Crennel took 35 years to become a head coach
Bayless talks out of his ass for no other reason then to hear his own voice. I thought we all knew this already? This is the same guy that thinks Tebow is an NFL starting QB.

Noni has been under our care for 423 days—and that is just way too long. She's receiving lots of attention and socialization with us, but even the ASPCA Adoption Center is no substitute for a loving family.
Noni is one of the prettiest, softest tuxie ladies we've ever seen, and she loves interacting with people, whether she's chasing a toy or receiving a few snuggles. But Noni's life has been anything but easy. She once lived in a hoarding home, and she came to us emaciated; we soon discovered that Noni had an untreated hyperthyroid condition. Our dedicated veterinary staff got Noni back on track, and now she is healthy and flourishing.
But Noni's adopter will need to keep her healthy, and that means not only twice-daily medicine for hyperthyroidism but special food for her sensitive tummy.
We can't wait to see Noni's story of triumph and recovery close with a happy ending, and neither can she. If you've got room in your heart for a special lady like Noni, please consider meeting her today at the ASPCA Adoption Center in NYC. Noni enjoys other cats and wouldn't mind a home with a resident feline friend. If you have any questions, please call the Adoption Desk at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4900.
If you can't bring her home, please share her on Facebook and Twitter. Online fans: You've helped us find homes for animals before—let's do it again for Noni!

SoMa, "South of Market," has cleaned up and grown considerably since the late 1990s, coming into itself as a business district with an artistic bent. Art spaces, designer warehouses, loft apartments, young technology companies, and some of the city's best museums dot an otherwise industrial area that spans about two miles (from 11th Street to The Embarcadero, roughly). The result is artistically landscaped office buildings with a small selection of bars and restaurants that attract a decidedly business crowd. Much like the Financial District, SoMa can feel pretty sleepy on weekends and weekday evenings. But unlike the Financial District, which in most areas offers little beyond its chain restaurants, Starbucks, and corporate skyscrapers, an increasing number of notable restaurants like Anchor & Hope, Tres Agaves, and the city's pioneering transgender restaurant and club, Asia SF, bring sprinkles of vitality to this part of the city. Just note that you might have to walk several dark, seedy-looking blocks before coming to a hip coffee shop.
SoMa is large and incredibly diverse; you can go from swanky to sketchy in the span of a block. Most of the major hotels huddle around three major areas: The Embarcadero (east), the San Francisco MOMA and Moscone Center (middle), and over by the Civic Center (west).
Along the waterfront Embarcadero there's been a sudden surge of restaurants in and around the Ferry Building, right at Market Street. Fittingly, two relatively new and stylish boutique hotels sit here: the Hotel Vitale and the more affordable Harbor Court Hotel.
But most of the neighborhood's major hotels are in the center of SoMa, surrounding the Moscone convention center and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Along with some of the city's best luxury hotels -- the Intercontinental, the St. Regis, and the Four Seasons, among others -- you'll also find some of the big-chains business hotels, such as the Marriott Marquis and the Westin San Francisco Market Street.
Though not quite as popular, or as active, the neighborhood around the San Francisco Civic Center comes with some of the least expensive hotels in the city. The environmentally conscious Good Hotel, for example, is an especially good value.

"Lovely gift for my son"
By Denise Simons
Comments: I had to get this for my son who just received his credentials to become a teacher. I had "Mr. Simons" engraved on the plate. The price is bit on the high range, but considering that its free personalization, its well worth the value. The engraving came out fantastic ! I know he's going to love his nameplate very much!
"Crystal Name Plate"
By Heidi Murphy
Comments: This is such a gorgeous nameplate. The crystal is flawless and the engraving looks so good. I sell jewelry at a local shop where it is displayed and I wanted something with the name of my line to put in the display case, and this was just the thing to give it that rich look.

4 cups
fresh blackberries
1/2 cup
white sugar
1/2 cup
all-purpose flour
1 recipe
pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
2 tablespoons
1/4 cup
white sugar
I am somewhat of a fussy pie baker and I loved this recipe! The only things I did differently were that I used 5 pints of large berries, I also brushed the bottom crust with a little beaten egg, squeezed a little lemon juice over the berries and dotted with butter before putting the top crust on. I brushed the top crust with some of the beaten egg and sprinkled sugar over it. It was delicious and I agree, serve this with a little vanilla ice-cream. I've made this pie about 5 times this summer and received rave reviews each time. One more tip ~ make sure that you combine the berries with the sugar and flour well until you no longer see any "white" coating on the berries.
I've made this as written as well as with recommendations from reviews. The additions make this a stellar dessert. I can't imagine why anyone would want 1/4 cup sugar on top of their pie and saturate it with 2 whole tablespoons of milk. One tablespoon milk is enough, and and 1-2 tsps of sugar is really all you need on top. The pie was runny with flour, so I replaced the flour with 1/4 cup of instant, granulated tapioca. Once it cooled completely, the pie didn't run at all. Squeeze half a lemon over the berries and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped butter over them as well before topping off the pie with the second crust. Brushing the bottom with egg saves the pie from getting soggy on the bottom. Absolutely amazing on a hot summer day with French Vanilla ice cream!

I've made this recipe a total of three times in the past month (can you tell I liked it?). Each time I tried a slightly different variation. The recipe as stated tastes great. However, I recommend brushing part of an egg on the bottom of the pie shell before adding the berries so that the bottom will not become soggy. Instead of using all-purpose flour, I tried tapioca flour once. It turned out a thicker and bit sweeter berry filling than the straight flour. I liked it. Another thing I did was to add a tablespoon or two of cold butter chopped up and sprinkled over the berries. If you like a buttery flavor, this is definitely the way to go. All three times I used a butter pie crust.
If you have the option between frozen and fresh blackberries, I highly recommend the fresh. I tried both. The fresh were much tastier.
When it came down to it... each variation tasted great and I highly recommend this recipe. It is resilient to modifications and very tasty.
Very good. I added more berries, and it still fit well into the pie dish. Next time I would squeeze a tablespoon or so of lemon juice on top for a needed brightness. I used 1/4 cup tapioca in lieu of the flour. I did brush some beaten egg onto the bottom crust to keep it from becoming soggy.
Perfect pie!!! We just had this after dinner tonight. We picked the blackberries from the fence line running down the driveway. I followed the recipe exactly (but I used store bought frozen pie crusts) and it was absolutely delicious. First fruit pie I ever made and it was perfect. Thanks for the great recipe that made me feel good about myself! It's so cool to use ingredients from your yard to feed your family! The crust was perfect thanks to the great temp/time directions! Will use this every season!...Vanilla ice cream is the topper (literally)!
This is delicious! I used a bag of frozen blackberries and increased the bake time to 30 minutes. I would recommend only brushing the pie with one tablespoon of milk before sprinkling the sugar, as two made the top a little watery-still delicious though!
Wonderful pie. My sister-in-law, THE pie maker in the family, raved and asked me for the recipe. I used the Pie Crust recipe submitted by Brenda for the crust. To keep the cost down, I used half fresh berries and half frozen. The pie sliced beautifully and didn't ooze one bit. I recommend serving it warm with a scoop of ice cream, as Michelle states. GREAT!
This recipe was soooo easy! I'm 11 and I made it all by myself. My family thought was so good. Thanks! Lianna
( good with boysenberry and Maryenberrys too!)

Before Kobe Bryant hangs 'em up order your Los Angeles Lakers tickets for all of the team's games at STAPLES Center. And should the Lake Show return to the post-season you can be sure that we will have a great selection of Lakers playoff tickets.
Los Angeles Lakers Schedule
Sunday, 6:30 PM
Lakers Ticket Info
Last season did not quite go according to plan for the Los Angeles Lakers. They began the season with incredibly high expectations after acquiring All-Stars Dwight Howard and Steve Nash. The Lakers first made news by not winning a single pre-season game leading up to the '12-'13 season. Although the coaching staff reassured fans that it would not be a concern, these issues seemed to pour over into the regular season. Head coach Mike Brown was fired just five games into the season when the team started just 1-4. There was plenty of speculation that Phil Jackson would be returning to Los Angeles, but that did not materialize. The Lakers instead hired former New York Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni.
Mike D'Antoni led the Lakers to a 44-33 record in place of Mike Brown. The Lakers clawed their way back into the playoff picture, finishing 7th in the Western Conference. In one of the final games of the regular season, Kobe Bryant suffered a torn Achilles. The Lakers seemed to be finally playing well together when Bryant went down. With a playoff spot then secure, the Lakers faced the San Antonio Spurs in the first round and were unable to win a game. Things will certainly be different this season in LA as D'Antoni will have a full off-season to prepare himself and his team for another run at a title. Can Kobe capture another ring in his Hall of Fame career? Make sure you're at the STAPLES Center to find out.
We have a great selection of Los Angeles Lakers tickets for all of the games on their upcoming schedule. You might find yourself rubbing elbows with Hollywood stars at your next LA Lakers game! Don't miss your chance to see Kobe Bryant and the rest of the Lake Show look to capture yet another title. Order your Los Angeles Lakers tickets today!

It's all good. There's a big big world out there beyond the animation scene that is still the animation scene.
Hopefully though this will help in encouraging vigilance and dialogue among the rank and file. Us po little animation artists that should feel lucky we have such suck ass leadership.
God bless and good luck!

tell me more! Liar liar ey? what was said?
Re: Liar liar pants on fire
Remember back in September 2008 when I was a guest panelist at a union meeting? Remember when I reported what I witnessed as to the behavior of their business rep towards guild members who had a grievance with the studios?
Recall how his flunkies spun the incident on the AN Forums? Remember the "dogs chasing the caravan" thing?
You yourself witnessed what happened at the union debate in October 2011. Did you see any report on the guild's blog other than a few lines by their business rep that completely misrepresented what really happened and what was discussed?
Well, now others are finding out what we've known all along about their union business rep and how he works.
Re: Liar liar pants on fire
of course they are! Lies always come back around.
Re: Liar liar pants on fire
More and more artists are realizing the rotten quality of leadership they have in their union.
In all of the entertainment industry there's no union as weak and as corrupted as what we have in animation in the form of The Animation Guild.
If you were at the Guild meeting last night you were exposed to more of it. Especially as the next election of officers is right around the corner.
Re: Liar liar pants on fire
I'd like to hear about the meeting last night.
Re: Liar liar pants on fire
How many of the members of The Animation Guild realize that their colleagues who serve on the executive board pay no union dues?
How many members of The Animation Guild realize there's an election coming up at the end of this year?
How many members of the Guild know what they have to do to be nominated or to nominate someone of their choice to run for office?
Any info on the Guild's site?
Don't think so.
Very convenient. Especially for the 3 year contract business rep who thrives on the apathy and ignorance of the Guild's membership.
The liar of a biz rep who will say and do whatever it takes to keep you guys down and dumb.
Re: Liar liar pants on fire
Happy to report that finally there's a movement within the membership of the Guild itself to do something about the corrupt leadership of their union. It's very satisfying to see that after all this time in the nearly 15 years that AN's been active that there's studio artists out there who are motivated enough to address the one lingering issue they've faced for longer than anyone can say at this point. Sooner or later guys you're going to rid yourselves of the jokers who've been using you. Keep at it and don't give up. That's why they've won out before. They thrive on the apathy of the community. If you keep the pressure on and rally the members you'll see things change favorably.
Good luck! With you all the way!
Re: Liar liar pants on fire
It's encouraging to see what can be done when enough people get fed up and start doing something about what needs to be done.
I'm experiencing the feeling of hope for the first time in years and years. Things are going to change within the union. There's a lot that's happening behind the scenes. Discoveries that are shedding a bright light on how things have worked within the corrupt leadership of the Guild. A great deal of manipulation along with the withholding of important information from the union's membership. Now that the info is being dug up and shared members are realizing just how bad it's been.
It's so bad that finally there's activity to confront the situation and make much needed and long overdo changes.
Animation artists have the power to create the union they want. Not the one they're being told to accept.
They tell you that you can't change law... IT'S A LIE.
They tell you that nothing can be done about the problems in the biz... ANOTHER LIE.
Don't believe what they tell you about what you can't do! It's all lies!
Guild members have incredible power! You have the right to build the union that you want with the bylaws that you want. You can structure your union anyway you want to structure it.
That's the law that can't be changed! The one that the prime liar doesn't want you to know about!
You can make this union into anything you want it to be! You have the freedom to do it guaranteed by IATSE.
More news ahead as things develop. It's going to be a very interesting season with elections right around the corner...
