Should we be afraid of a Psychopathy Epidemic?
Assuming Psychopaths can out compete their Empathic counterparts, could we be looking at the extinction of Emotion?
Mar 15 2013: Psychopaths are only well suited to our current ideas of what 'success' is - that is, where nearly every value we have, is based on material gain, displays of wealth and the superficiality of what is merely 'skin-deep'.
I suggest that as soon as the wherewithal to perpetuate outrageous wealth either disappears, or reaches globally sustainable levels, psychopathy for the sake of personal gain will disappear. It will become a pointless trait, too fleeting to become evolved and ingrained in the psyche of humans to the exclusion of empathy.
Emotion and empathy are not going to vanish anytime soon. Empathy will be the most important survivor in a world that has squandered all its wealth on frivolity, greed and selfishness.
It may not happen in our lifetime, and there will probably be a painful transition period, but it sure will happen sometime.

Mar 17 2013: I have experienced a psychopath, a CEO of a large company. The day I decided to break off from this person, was the day I read about Psychopaths and learned that they aren't just killers, but can be 'charming' and 'eloquent' persons as well. Chameleons. Dangerous ones. The following traits of this person: Deceitful, complete and utter lack of remorse, grandiose, manipulator, pathological liar, no empathy, criminal tendencies and believe me the list goes on....BUT. highly intelligent, superb command of English (his second language), eloquent, charming, 'that winning smile', impeccably dressed, numerous relationships with people held in high esteem, very 'genuine'..an incredible disguise 'mask' from the reality of a cold sadistic human who's intent is greed and destruction.

Should be afraid of an epidemic? We should be afraid of just one psychopath, so an epidemic!..that's worst than if 'zombies' existed...at least we can tell them apart..yes, we should be afraid, very much so. Though afraid is not necessarily the word I would use, more of aware and ready. Psychopaths gravitate towards power and rise up the chain of command...if the CEO's and leaders of powerful and influential countries, multinational companies, financial organizations have psychopaths running part of them, even a few,...that could very well be the reason humanity is where it's at today.
It takes one to cause the downfall of many, Hitler, Madoff, being prime examples of how much damage one can cause. One bad apple really does spoil the bunch.
Humans have leaders that guide them, whether it be political or religious and we will follow till the very end. I believe it's time to take action and ensure that the leaders of our most powerful organizations of all sorts are in fact not psychopaths and that this could be one of the most important tasks that we as humans must undertake as quickly as possible.
Thank-you so much for having asked this question, awareness and action on these people is VITAL.
Mar 17 2013: I feel your sentiments.
Also its debatable as to whether Hitler was a Psychopath, a better example would be Lance Armstrong.Mar 14 2013: This is a very interesting question.
From the book I have read : Office politics by Oliver James (Which suggest basically what this comment is saying).
Then I might be inclined to agree, and that psychopathy would be an evolutionary advantage for the indivaul but not for the genetic gene pool. In the way if we had lots of people who were all prepared to kill eachother for material gain, then I could probably assure you that we would not last very long as a species. (Correct me If I am wrong with this statement).
Also from what I know, psychopaths don't really feel much satisfaction, even though they excel in the business world. (I am not certain on this though!)
But should we be afraid : That completely depends on so many factors. For instance whether the elite psychopaths still saw us as "useful". But I can't see any reasons why they would try to get rid of people unnescary, so this become a false worry in my opinion.
I mean would you want to live in a world, with a complete lack of empathy? And it would be a sort of social Darwinism world to the extreme. I would be interested to see what form of civilization a group of pure psychopaths would form and what would be their universal norms.
Mar 14 2013: Yes the psychopaths would want to keep us around for a while, as pets perhaps, but assuming their condition is hereditary (Which it seems to be). There would come a point where their superior birth rate would allow their psychotic genes to flood the global pool.
I fear that we pay much to little attention to social Darwinism, I believe we will start to see its effects very soon.

Mar 14 2013: Extinction of emotion? Heavens no! What you are seeing is the denial of feelings. Feelings and emotions are different things in both content and purpose. In psychopaths, you see emotions run amuk. (Not just psychopaths, but the way. Most people are ruled/owned by their emotions because they don't have clue that it is their responsibility to own/rule them - explaining why so much is wrong in our world)

Mar 14 2013: From what I have read, I am lead to believe that Psychopathy is caused by an impairment of the frontal lobe and the result of this is that they lack certain vital emotions such as regret, empathy and love.
I do agree that there is a mass denial of emotion happening among human kind, but I believe Psychopathy is separate from this.Mar 18 2013: Yes we should be.
The epidemic is happening in the form of Artificial Intelligence.
That is, it is living humans that are being made or rendered artificially intelligent.
They are willingly being made into mental robots.
They believe what they are told to believe, think what they are told to think, say what they are told to say and do what they are told to do.
Conversely, they do not believe what they are told not to believe, do not think what they are told not to think, do not say what they are told not to say and do not do what they are told not to do.
This is happening in the job arena where people must become a team player if they want the job, or to keep a job, or to gain promotions. Especially in law enforcement. Prisons which are now private businesses and working there is now a career. Private business needs customers, so let's find a way to make more people criminals.
Law enforcement that take oaths to protect the Constitution, which is really the People, break it every day, deny it, lie about it, threaten people for demanding transparency, filming the police and even standing up for their rights on the streets. These officers do not think any more. They have no compassion in their eyes. They only repeat what they have been told to say and then brutally do what they were told to do, and then are protected.
These artificially-intelligent mental robots are virtually all our politicians. Most are now Manchurian Candidates but sadly the voting public are now Manchurian Citizens.
Children are taught to spy on one another, their parents, and are being taught by psychopathic TSA agents just what it will be like to grow up in a Fascist, Totalitarian Dictatorship. "We're just doing our job." (what to say) "Your toddler looks like a terrorist." (what to believe or think) "Stay away. We are going to strip search her. It's okay." (what to do)
"If you have nothing to hide you shouldn't mind zero privacy and zero rights at all. We take away your rights to protect you!"Mar 18 2013: This is a very good overview
By one not afraid to call a spade a spade
Also , if Hillman speak to you....then The Soul's Code will tooMar 15 2013: i think the stereotypes that go along with being called a "psycopath" isn't okay.sorry this doesn't answer your question.
Mar 17 2013: There are stereotypes, i conceed that they are not all serial killers and dangerous to humanity, but there are some hard facts to consider.
Mar 18 2013: Such as.....
Mar 18 2013: Such as, If there are people in the world incapable of empathy, love or remorse, then that is an issue that we can't just be swept under the carpet.
I'm not suggesting anything machiavellian, but I do think we have to discuss it and talk about the implications, thus this question.Mar 15 2013: Christopher, Come on confess ... you have been watching BBC news about American politics haven't you.
I have to admit you nailed our politicians with this one.
I wish you well. Bob.
Mar 17 2013: I studied American Politics for a year, but I don't think I have seen what you're suggesting :D
Mar 17 2013: Christopher, If you studied our politics and cannot see what I am joking about I doubt if I could explain it.
Be well. Bob.
Mar 18 2013: Oh I thought you were on about one specific program on the BBC, my bad.
Tbh, It's clear that there are a few pretty obvious psychopaths in American Politics, Paul Ryan would be a good bet.Mar 18 2013: Christopher, I think it is much deeper than just on or even a few politicians. I think the process demands a person who is so in want of the power and money the postion offers that they can "play the game". Find out what the public want to hear and campaign on that ... when elected do what you are told by the power brokers ... the people are no longer the issue. Of course you will throw them a bone every once in a while. They are the elete above the law. The SEC just fined the SAC Capital Advisors 614 Million dollars for insider trading on a Alzeheimer drug trail results leak ... but Nancy Polsi made millions on VISA by information she had on a bill she was voting on in Congress. Only because the elete is above the law. Congress voted that they will not be forced to fall under Obamacare as it is for the people ... not the elete.
Our national debit is greater than our GDP ... the administration does not see this as a problem and wants to spend more .... is that a act of a sane person? You and I would go to jail for such poor financial decisions. The people who have become dependent upon the government want more and wish to work less .... so the generational welfare are also a big problem. We post signs that say do not feed the animals they will become dependent upon you ... and brag that the government now feed 27 million Americans .... irony at its best.
We have become so dependent upon the lies accompanied by the koolade that we stand in line for more koolade.
Yeah our politicians are nuts ... but the mentally ill re-elects them in both parties over and over.
Thanks for the reply. Bob.
Mar 18 2013: Its the same in the UK to be fair, I actually think that what you are describing is more about some politicians who want to create a client state in order to further their political ambitions rather than Psychopaths attempting to attain wealth and cause pain.
I think we have to start watching our politicians very closely, I truly believe that what you are experiencing in America now, is what happened in Europe in the post-war years.Mar 14 2013: I tend to think the empathic person is the better competitor, both a better winner who doesn't bring out hate in the person they beat, and a better loser who learns from their performance.
Mar 14 2013: More sporting perhaps, but not necessarily the better competitor.
It's the sporting nature of empaths that is the weakness which psychopaths exploit in order to win.Mar 14 2013: In what sense do you see an epidemic and the likelihood that psychopaths will outcompete empathic counterparts?
Mar 14 2013: It has been shown that Psychopaths have a higher birth rate due to their promiscuous nature, If we assume that if both a normal person and a psychopath are competing for a mate, the psychopath will be successful to to superior skills of manipulation, but will then move to another mate.
The projections would seem to intimate that Psychopaths will out compete normal humans.

Comments On May 01, 2015:After 1 ride (50 miles) it is half worn out.. the rib down the center is completely gone. but it is still lots thicker than the stock one. I don't know if this is made for the narrower non o-ring chains. Other than that it looks like the beefiest chain slider in the world.

Comments On Jan 26, 2015:This thing is very durable. It has taken some serious hits and isn't deformed at all like the stock aluminum one would be. It's a bit noisy which doesn't bother me. The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star product is the price.

Comments On Jan 29, 2014:Be prepared for some noise. This thing drives me crazy. It's wearing faster than I thought it would but that might be due to initial chain settling. Will update if it slows.

GREENFIELD — It's wide open.
That's the assessment of this year's Class 2A boys state tournament by both Nodaway Valley coach Darrell Burmeister and Carroll Kuemper Catholic coach Tyler Edwards.
Neither is a newcomer to the state tourney setting, and what they see developing next week is an evenly-contested affair that makes nearly every tip-off a coin toss.
"Class 2A is better, one through eight, than you'll typically see," said Burmeister, who ranks 16th among active coaches in career wins with a record of 475-170 (376-62 at Nodaway Valley). "2A is wide open. We could lose to Kuemper, or we could win it all.
"A team like Carroll Kuemper, you really don't consider a seven seed," Burmeister added. "I think they are a little bit better than that, with the competition they play. But, it's seeded by wins and losses, so that's what it is."
Nodaway Valley, ranked third on the final Associated Press poll, takes a 23-1 record and No. 2 seed into Tuesday's opener against Carroll Kuemper (16-8). The only team seeded above the Wolverines is No. 1 ranked West Fork of Sheffield (24-0). Cascade was ranked No. 2 on the final AP poll and Western Christian was fourth, but neither made the tournament.
While West Fork is the only team ranked higher than No. 10 on the top half of the 2A bracket, Nodaway Valley looks to be in a dogfight to Friday's 8:05 p.m. championship game.
Strong bracket
The winner of the NV-Kuemper game meets either ninth-ranked Sheldon (22-3) or No. 11 Pella Christian (20-4) in the semifinals at 3:45 p.m. Thursday.
"I think we got the tough side of the bracket," said Wolverine senior starter Dean Frank. "But, if we get past Kuemper, most likely Sheldon is going to win their first game. Kuemper and Sheldon are two very similar teams, starting lineups with 6-6 kids that don't shoot the three that much. If we can get by Kuemper, I think we'll be ready."
"Sheldon is the biggest team in the tournament," Burmeister said, "but we have to get by Kuemper first. Four of the top five teams are probably in the bottom bracket."
Nodaway Valley placed fourth in Class 1A with the same lineup last year, but is no stranger to the 2A tourney. The Wolverines were second in 2005, champions in 2006 and third in 2007, all in 2A.
Fresh in the minds of the Nodaway Valley players' minds is a stinging 81-46 defeat to Storm Lake St. Marys in last year's 1A consolation game. It was a short turnaround from a disappointing 65-49 semifinal loss to Danville.
"We took that pretty hard," said junior forward T.J. Bower. "A lot of people said we shouldn't have been there after that. We wanted to get back and make it happen. We've put a lot of hard work into proving people wrong."
"That definitely motivates us," said senior center Alex Welsch. "I don't think any of us really wanted to play that day. They (St. Marys) had a lot of seniors so they played a lot harder than us."
One thing learned from the 2012 experience, senior 3-point shooter Dan Ehrsam said, is the 32-minute intensity required to be successful at state.
"We knew we had to play better defense throughout the whole game," Ehrsam said.
"I think we're a lot more physical this year," said shooting guard Dean Frank, who missed some postseason games last year with a cracked femur, and the first seven games this year after arthroscopic knee surgery. "The (first) Kuemper game proves that. I think if we would have played them this year with last year's team, they would have destroyed us."
Good tests
Nodaway Valley defeated a bigger Kuemper team, 64-60, in a regular-season contest this year.
That game, a 59-49 loss to Creston, and tough encounters with league opponents Interstate 35 and Mount Ayr this year were good measuring sticks in a season when much of the Pride of Iowa was in a rebuilding mode this year.
"If we didn't have those games, and the offseason tests we have, I don't think we could have beaten a team like North Polk," said point guard Brad Baudler.
Ehrsam's 3-pointer with three seconds left carried NV past North Polk, 64-61. It's a Comet team that won by 15 points at state qualifier Pella Christian.
The loss to Creston on Jan. 19 was a valuable learning experience, Wolverine players said. They got complacent with a 17-5 early lead, and the Panthers stormed ahead with a 28-point second quarter. That's against a team on school record pace with an average of 34.1 points allowed per game.
"That quarter was one of our worst ever," Baudler said.
"It was a loss that was well worth it," Frank added. "It really helped us realize we have to pick it up in the big games."
Quick shooting, before any rebounders are in place, helped Creston get defensive rebounds and score quickly on the other end.
Similar lessons have been learned in large-school divisions at team camps at Augustana in Sioux Falls, S.D., Iowa State University, Nebraska Wesleyan, Northwest Missouri State University, University of Northern Iowa, the Northeast Iowa Shootout in Cedar Falls and William Penn University. Some years, the team also participates at SWCC and Central College.
The weekend of the Adair County Fair is about the only time off in the summer, starting in early June.
"These kids have played at the top level of those places," Burmeister said. "We've lost some, but we've won some of those tournaments, too."
Tragedy strikes
The team was reeling emotionally right in the heart of the season with the Jan. 25 death of Cindy Kohler, wife of assistant coach Richard Kohler. She sat perched above the action at every game, keeping the team's "shot chart."
Team members have said Kohler's experience has given them added incentive to finish this season strong.
"We want to do it for him," Bower said. "He broke down after the substate game, because he knew his wife would have loved to have been there celebrating with us. In the middle of the season, that was hard for us. It made us all realize that small things weren't such big deals."
Kohler has continued to work hard as Burmeister's right-hand man in practices and during games. But he defers any added attention.
"I don't want it to be about me or my wife," Kohler said. "I want them to do it for them, and for everybody. It's just nice that they think that way. They have been a special group. Cindy and I were always very close to these guys."
Burmeister is a hard-driven taskmaster with laser-focused attention to details during preparation. Kohler is cast in the same mold, but with a different approach.
"He takes the stress out of things," Baudler said.
"I'll throw some satire in there," Kohler said, "jab them a little, you know?"
"We're trying to do it for the rest of the community, too," Welsch said. "Everyone wants it as much as we do."

Home Safety Tips
Each year, fires claim the lives of over 4,000 people and injures another 25,000 more. Preventing and protecting yourself from fire is a matter of being informed and taking the necessary steps needed to reduce the likelihood of a fire in your home.
* Smoke alarms save lives. In the event of a fire, your best defense is a functioning smoke alarm. According to the United States Fire Administration (USFA), a working smoke alarm reduces the chance of dying in a fire by nearly 50 percent. Make sure all of your smoke alarms have fresh batteries, are in good condition and that they are properly located. For more information on installing and maintaining smoke alarms, go to: www.usfa.dhs.gov.
* Prevent electrical fires.
- Make sure your house wiring, outlets and switches are all in good working order and that fuses or circuit breakers are the right size and work properly.
* Inspect home heating. Heating systems should be inspected and serviced regularly, with special attention paid to flue pipes and connections on wood stoves that pass through attics and walls. Portable heaters should be kept a safe distance from combustible materials and never left unattended. In addition, kerosene heaters should only be filled outside, operated with adequate ventilation and turned off when you leave home or go to bed. Fireplaces should be equipped with a sturdy metal screen and a spark arrester on the chimney. Flammable liquids should never be used to start a wood fire in a fireplace or stove. Kerosene, as well as other combustible liquids and paints, should only be stored in proper containers outside the house.

Brandon Calton invited to second postseason all-star game
Wednesday, December 10, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 10, 2003) - East Tennessee State senior defensive lineman Brandon Calton (Pennington Gap, Va.) earned his second postseason all-star game invitation as he was selected Wednesday to participate in the Las Vegas All-American Classic. The game will take place on Jan. 17 at 4 p.m. EST from UNLV's Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev. and will be televised live by Fox Sports Net and College Sports Television (CSTV). Calton will be joined in Las Vegas by ETSU teammate Tony Tiller (Lithonia, Ga.), who will also be participating in the game. Calton posted career highs in tackles, tackles for loss and sacks this past season for ETSU. He finished fourth on the Bucs with 75 tackles and was second on the team with 15.5 tackles for losses and 4.5 sacks. Calton tied for fourth in the Southern Conference in TFL's and tied for sixth in the SoCon in sacks. He also had two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and a blocked extra point on the season. Calton had a season-high 10 tackles on Nov. 1 against Georgia Southern and had nine in the season-opener at Eastern Michigan on Aug. 28. Following the season, Calton earned All-Southern Conference honors for a second time. "It is a great honor to be selected to the Las Vegas All-American Classic," said Calton Wednesday afternoon. "Once again, I would like to thank God and my family for making all of this possible. I would also like to thank the coaching staff and (ETSU Strength Coach) Lee Morrow for all of their support along the way. Hopefully I can be successful and represent ETSU Football, my family and myself well." The Las Vegas All-American Classic will be Calton's second postseason all-star game, as he was recently invited to participate in the Blue-Gray All-Star Classic Dec. 25 from Troy, Ala. The classic is comprised of top players from all major football conferences around the country. Division I-A players from conferences such as the SEC, Big East, ACC, Big 10, Pac 10, Conference USA, Mountain West and WAC will be represented, as well as players from other divisions. The game will pit West all-stars vs. all-stars from the Eastern United States. There will be 108 players chosen to participate in the classic.

Kinokawa Japanese
"Come and Taste the Best Sushi in Town"
Japanese Cuisine and sushi with excellent service. Come Taste the Best Sushi in Town, Serving Long Beach for Over 30 Years, We Have A Great Sushi Bar, Lunch Specials Daily,
I go to Kinokawa about once a week. Here is what I recommend: Tuna Tataki Salad, Jeff and Jolyn Roll, Spicy Scallop Hand Roll with soy paper. I also really like the Kinokawa roll. It's simple and fresh. I like this place because the food is great and so are the prices. When I want sashimi and cocktails I go to LA, but otherwise I go here. It's comfortable, homey, and dependable
-Yelp User
Walking into this place is like walking through a portal to Japan. It looks like a movie set. The food is always awesome. They have some of the most unique rolls. My favorite is(of Course) the Long Beach roll. The boats can feed three people easily. Has to be the best miso I ever had. And I always end my meal with plum wine ice cream.

Hailing from the Bay Area, Hsiao has photographed all kinds of women in glamorous boudoir and pin-up style, and her photography went together perfectly with the beach and summer-ready hats of California Girls. Hats from the collection feature Hsiao's pin-up girl photography on the lining, including a beach babe laying atop a surf board, adding a fun little risqué detail for the wearer.

Maryland State Police troopers are investigating a collision involving a school bus Wednesday morning in White Plains.
At 9:51 a.m. Aug. 28, troopers from the La Plata barrack responded to an accident at the intersection of U.S. 301 and Billingsley Road. Troopers arrived on the scene at approximately 9:55 a.m.
Preliminary investigation revealed that a flatbed tow truck driven by Dwain Evan Blankenship, 46, of Hughesville was slowing to a stop for a solid red arrow in the left-turn lane traveling from southbound U.S. 301 onto Billingsley Road.
The school bus transporting 20 eighth-graders from the Calverton School, a private school in Huntingtown, was traveling south on 301. The operator of the school bus, Derek Ingram, 57, of Lusby, was unable to stop before hitting the back of the tow truck, police reported.
As a result of the collision, injuries were sustained by three people on the bus — Jennifer McAneny, 44, of Chesapeake Beach and two students. They were taken to University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center in La Plata by ambulance for treatment. All three had injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.
Spencer Taintor, head of the Calverton School, said that McAneny, a teacher at the school, was released from the hospital shortly after arriving and the two students remained at the hospital during the day as a precaution. They had minor aches, he said. The remaining students were put on another bus and taken back to school.
Taintor said the eighth-graders were going to Colonial Williamsburg for a field trip.
The trip was postponed 24 hours in order to re-evaluate and err on the side of safety, he said.
Troopers from the commercial vehicle enforcement division investigated the damage to both commercial vehicles. Damage sustained from the collision covered the right front bumper and corner of the school bus and the left rear corner and bed area of the tow truck.
Results of that investigation have not been finalized.
On Thursday morning, school officials said both students who were sent to the hospital were released Wednesday and did not sustain major injuries. All 20 students continued their field trip Thursday.
The investigation is continuing. Anyone who saw the accident is asked to call trooper J. Harrod at 301-392-1200.

I weld in my dad's shop and now that summer has come I am becoming worried about my job at the moment. My main projects are hay bale feeders which I make out of 2 7/8 pipe and 7/8 sucker rods. But no one needs those in the summer. I have some towel and hat racks which I made out of horseshoes but I don't know where I would go to begin selling those. Gates and panels are the only other ideas I can think of but I don't have the right pipe to make those. Any ideas? I love owning my own company but I'm afraid none of the bale feeders will sell til fall.

Who are your clients? What is your location?
I've sold some hitch covers I used to make. Materials were cheap but need a band saw, plasma or some other way to cut them out. Also made a lot of bridle brackets and shelf type units. Can also make saddle stands, stocks, pipe fence, stall doors, bale handling equipmentetc. If you are in ranch country could make branding irons, stock handling equipment, etc.
If you want to stay with local clients you have to get your name out and find what people want and need. Livestock shows, rodeos, livestock auctions, etc. If you are capable of mobile work get out and stop at a few places and talk to the owner or foreman of the ranches and facilities.
If there is a market for it don't let your material supply hold you back. You have to make what people want and need even if you have to obtain the right materials.

Also, if you are in oil country, then there are bound to be plenty of scrapyards. One thing we are good at is generating waste materials. If you are near one, you should be able to find plenty of cheap materials for non-code work (i.e. smokers, sculpture, zero-load structures, etc.)
But, look through these threads on "Welding Projects" and just read through them. And look at the welding projects section in the big green box on the right. Ton of ideas. Go by a sheet metal shop and just look at what they have sitting in front for sell.
Then go by furniture stores and farm supply stores and see what they have and what you might be able to make like what they have (i.e. light fixtures, feed troughs, etc.) Talk to the manager or buying agent and sell yourself. Spend $30 and get some business cards made. But don't misrepresent yourself by agreeing to do something you aren't certified to do.MillerMatic 252

Animation reflecting relevant topics
Just like art, animation has more than just one meaning. Some animation has itentionally meant to reflect something more to the viewer. I find these very interesting, and I didn't find any topic in the search bar on this forum with this subject. It might be something simular, if so then I hope it can be directed to that thread.
Speculating, sharing and discussing animation is both fun and learning. I hope somebody finds this relevat of interests to discuss, and I start to shoot with one good example of classic symbolic animation:
I, pet goat II
" A story about the fire at the heart of suffering.
Bringing together dancers, musicians, visual artists and 3d animators, the film takes a critical look at the events of the past decade that have shaped our world.
Main softwares used: Maya, Vray, FumeFX, RealFlow.
Original soundtrack "the Stream", written and performed by Tanuki Project.
Some of the stellar artists that worked on the short: strob.net, huguescoupal.com, sebastienlarroude.com, arnaudbrisebois.carbonmade.com, daverand.com beatstreetclassic.com
Animation is about half keyframe animation and half motion capture.
Motion capture recording by Lartech. "
What I like most with this shot, is how they master human psychology (look at the behaviour the diffrent characters have in interaction with one another) and other expressionistic meaning. They've risked a challanging style and doubble message. To leave some thought for (if any) hungry responses, what do you think of it?
Re: Animation reflecting relevant topics
Wow that was amazing and surreal. Great topic, thanks for bringing it up and for posting this video. I've felt strongly for a long time that animation could and should be more than just funny nonsensical cartoons. Sometimes you see films that have a significant pertinence to what's happening in the world today. Most of the time that is not the case. It's good to know that high quality animation is being produced that's as powerful and message oriented as this video.
Re: Animation reflecting relevant topics
Yes, and they can be very short, sometimes I find hidden messages in big film movies such as Monster Inc; where sometimes the right choises are diffcult because the boss/leader is not relyable. I don't know if that is intentional or not, but it is an interesting thought.

Re: Animation reflecting relevant topics
Excellent videos! Thanks for posting them.
Here's something that was done a few years ago by Tyree Dillihay who's over at Bento Box in Burbank at the moment directing on Bob's Burgers.
It was a very controversial film that landed him an interview on CNN when it was released. The relevant topic is the title of the film... "Read A Book"..
Re: Animation reflecting relevant topics
that first video was amazing. totally spoke to me..I'm at the point where everything is code to me. Symbols, movement, emotional content...this piece really brought the point home.
time to wake up
Re: Animation reflecting relevant topics
Read a Book,
It's so much enjoyment the first time you see an hard worked animated short. There is alot of information spilled out, and to me the message is obvious: tell the viewer directly what they should do. An indirect message can be that " Read a book " is telling us to " get smarter " as if we were a bit dumb, which is not an insult but more of a tiny reflection, that we can learn so much more but we chose not to. Maybe. The animation is fitting well with the choise of style, some kind of modern cartoon. Which again, I think, tells us who they're trying to talk to. The twist from a soft and perfected cartoon characters into a more whacky and crazy ones is supporting the reciever to take it seriously. I think that, because the ones who don't brush their teeth, rather ride a woman witouth the fear of babies, never read a book, they don't take the reality seriously. so, there is no point in trying to show them serious. It's a well thought through animation and a nice share. It's clever what Tyree did that short. One guy. Speaks for itself on how creative he can be.
I also noticed it has some familiarties with Gorillaz - Dirty Harry (2005):
which has its reputation of being popular among both adults and teens/kids for it's vietnam war and cartoon content/message. They both use a green truck, rap, its cartoony, there is a top figure and kids following, + +.

Re: Animation reflecting relevant topics
The first animation is probably the most symbolic one I've ever seen. Definitely a lot going on and probably has a different meaning for each person, but for me, that is life. There is no truth we can share except for the true fact that we each need to search for it. Ultimately there is no collective truth, only personal truth. Each person has to find their own truth and the only thing you can get from the external world is inspiration.
This animation creeps some people out but others find it beautiful.
Re: Animation reflecting relevant topics
Great topic. My wife, Sheila Sofian is an independent animator who works with documentary soundtracks. Her latest project, "Truth Has Fallen" is a 60-minute animated/live action documentary about three people who were convicted for murders they did not commit. The film exposes causes of wrongful convictions, such as the inaccuracy of eyewitness identification, the unreliability of "snitch" testimony, and forced confessions. Experts advocate for relatively simple changes to the justice system in order to reduce the rate of wrongful convictions. Here is a short trailer:
She has also just started an Indiegogo campaign to get post-production funds. Anyone interested in contributing should go here:

Here's a 2nd short trailer for Sheila Sofian's independent animated/live action documentary "Truth Has Fallen" which deals with the issue of wrongful convictions within the American legal system. She discusses some of the reasons why she feels animation is such a powerful tool in dealing with serious topics.

Re: Animation reflecting relevant topics
I liked the style and beauty in the shirt film "Descendants". It almost reflects the same probematics ArmyMan's wife express in her movie trailer. I really approve of what she/they is doing, that it is possible for a guilty to run free and an innocent take the punishment is no good. I'll see what I can do to help the campaign as well.

Re: Animation reflecting relevant topics
An excellent animated video dealing with relevant topics. This one is called "Lies" by Jonas Odell. Based on documentary interviews, these are three true stories, most likely, about telling lies. The narration is in Swedish with English subtitles. Winner of the International Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival in 2009.

And even that closing shot of the 20th Century Fox logo surrounded in barbed wire?
Approved by them. Obviously, the animation to do this was pricey. I couldn't have just snuck it by Fox. I'll just say it's a place where edgy comedy can really thrive, as long as it's funny, which I think this was. None of it's personal. This is what made "The Simpsons" what it is. - executive producer Al Jean

Protect Children with Autism from Wandering
Roll over image to zoom in
Help keep a child with an autism spectrum disorder safe!
Children on the spectrum engage in many behaviors that can be incredibly stressful to their families, but among the most stressful is wandering, "eloping", or bolting — that is, leaving a safe space without the knowledge of caregivers.
This behavior can be dangerous — children are unprepared for weather and traffic, and drowning is also a great fear. Many children who exhibit this behavior often cannot communicate their name, address, or phone number--by any means — to someone trying to help.
Fear that their child could leave home during the night can disrupt sleep for families, and this same concern during the day can keep families socially isolated from activities they could otherwise enjoy with their children.
Prevention is key to keeping a child on the spectrum safe from wandering. The "Big Red Safety Box" contains home alarms for doors, shoe IDs for children to wear (both now better quality to be longer-lasting), visual aid stop signs for the child to understand not to open doors, silicone wristbands, as well as many written material and forms to share information about the wander with family, friends, and law enforcement.
You can help. $35 provides one Big Red Safety Box to a family to help keep children who show this behavior safe.
Regarding the Big Red Safety Box program:
"[My son] is six and likes to be outside. We live close to interstate 83, which really scares me. He has been taught what to say, but when it has happened no one understands him. We could really put this Big Red Safety Box to good use. Thanks for considering us." (Lutherville, MD)
"My son has a history of elopement going back to the age of 3. The safety box sounds like a comprehensive plan with tools that would be extremely helpful in keeping our son safe. This is a great idea!" (Jacksonville, FL)
"Our daughter is primarily non-verbal and requires a speaking device. She cannot clearly or accurately report her full name, telephone number, or address. Our daughter has wandered out of the yard before, once found by neighbors at the end of the block before we knew it — very scary. We would like to use any means possible to help us monitor her while allowing her a degree of private time. This big red safety box sounds like a great system to start with." (Wauwatosa, WI)
"I have three children with autism, but this kit is for my daughter who is non-verbal and severely Autistic. She has managed to wander from our home several times already — fortunately the police were able to assist us in finding her. This kit will help us make our home more secure, and will help us make an emergency plan so everyone who watches our children will know what to do if/when she wanders again." (Gresham, OR)
National Autism Association responds to the most urgent needs of the autism community, providing real help and hope so that all affected can reach their full potential.

Renault Sport F1 celebrates their third back-to-back Constructors' World Title in the FIA Formula One World Championship™ after a dramatic Brazilian GP.
Renault-powered Red Bull Racing driver Sebastian Vettel had secured the points he needed in the USA to win his third Drivers' World Title in as many F1 seasons, becoming the youngest-ever consecutive triple World Champion.
Renault has powered Sebastian to all three of his titles and all but one of his 26 career wins and 36 pole positions.
A great finish to a hard 2012 season, Renault has once again proved itself as the champion of engine makers. Three of the top six drivers in the final overall standings were Renault-powered, with Kimi Raikkonen in third place and Australian Mark Webber in sixth.
Altogether, Renault has achieved a total of 839 points and nine race wins across all four Renault-powered teams this season, including Red Bull Racing, Caterham, Lotus and Williams, as well as the double Constructors' and Drivers' titles.
Congratulations to all Renault drivers on a brilliant year.

Manchester City's first league win at Arsenal in 37 years was aided by Laurent Koscielny's early red card but nonetheless deserved as goals from James Milner and Edin Dzeko secured a 2-0 victory in the capital.
Arsenal were not happy with referee Mike Dean over Koscielny's dismissal and City even less so when with 15 minutes left captain Vincent Kompany was sent-off for a challenge on Jack Wilshere deemed dangerous by the match official.
Less than ten minutes had elapsed when Arsenal hit the self-destruct button. Gareth Barry's looping header back into the home side's box saw Dzeko turn Koscielny, who reacted to the danger with a challenge agricultural to the extent that it was met with a red card and penalty award.
Dzeko stepped up but saw his spot-kick strike Wojciech Szczesny's outstretched legs before coming back off the far post and rolling into the arms of Arsenal's relieved goalkeeper.
It was a reprieve that was to prove only temporary as City forged ahead on 20 minutes when from a quick free-kick Arsenal were again caught napping. After the ball was worked to Carlos Tevez his cute slide-rule pass was dispatched with venom and accuracy courtesy of James Milner's angled drive from around 12 yards.
With ten-man Arsenal looking disjointed and on the ropes City went for the jugular and delivered the knock-out blow of a second goal just five minutes later. Trademark Pablo Zabaleta appetite for the fight brushed an insipid Kieran Gibbs off the ball before he set Milner on his way down the right. Tevez's prod for goal from his team-mate's low delivery forced Szczesny into a save but he could only parry straight into the feet of Dzeko no more than a yard out.
Thereafter the rest of the first half proved to be the proverbial stroll in the park for City as only Wilshere's presence on the goal-line prevented Javi Garcia from adding a headed third from Milner's corner.
After the interval Arsenal at least dug a little deeper but still it was City who conjured the first real opportunity when Milner stood one up at the back post only for Dzeko to head over.
Wilshere drove the play forward wherever possible and it was from one of his bursting runs that Gibbs saw his drive from the edge of the box blocked by the industrious Milner.
Referee Dean was busier than either goalkeeper though for the most part of an ill-tempered rather than malicious contest that saw Thomas Vermaelen, Milner, Wilshere, Gael Clichy, Bacary Sagna, Garcia and Gareth Barry all pick up bookings.
With 20 minutes remaining and City content to hit Arsenal on the counter-attack, Tevez was guilty of profligacy when after he was played through by Dzeko an over-elaborate attempt to round Szczesny allowed the keeper to save.
Substitute Olivier Giroud will be disappointed with a headed effort wide from a set-piece but it will be Kompany's red card that will be given more column inches. The Belgian's tackle on Wilshere looked to take the ball but Dean ruled it to be two-footed and dangerous.
City spent the remainder of the contest largely on the back foot but for the most part Arsenal were restricted to no more than half chances, with substitute Joleon Lescott earning his win bonus when clearing Theo Walcott's late effort off the line in a rare moment of genuine danger.
Roberto Mancini's side kept their heads though to stay within seven points of neighbours and league leaders Manchester United.

Wyandotte Boat Club
1 Pine St
Wyandotte, MI
EPA and its partners have completed a feasibility study for cleaning up contaminated sediment in the Upper Trenton Channel of the Detroit River as part of the Great Lakes Legacy Act. This study reviewed and evaluated cleanup options to manage around 240,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment. EPA will accept public comments on the proposed cleanup plan until Feb. 15, 2014.
The feasibility study is a significant step toward restoring both the heavily industrialized Trenton Channel and eventually the entire Detroit River Area of Concern.

After a cleanup plan is approved, design of the project should be completed by the end of 2014 and will use data from samples that we will collect in the spring of 2014.
Part of the Detroit River AOC
The Detroit River is a 32-mile international waterway linking Lake St. Clair and the upper Great Lakes to Lake Erie. The Detroit River Area of Concern, or AOC, is shared between the United States and Canada. AOCs were designated by Canada and the U.S. as Great Lakes locations damaged by historical industrial and municipal pollution. Forty-three AOCs have been identified: 26 located entirely within the United States; 12 located wholly within Canada; and five shared by both countries. Two Canadian AOCs have been cleaned up and "delisted," and one U.S. AOC has been delisted, leaving 30 locations on the American side of the border.

text: Now scientists have discovered a vital clue to unraveling these riddles. The human genome is packed with at least four million gene switches that reside in bits of DNA that once were dismissed as junk but that turn out to play critical roles in controlling how cells, organs and other tissues behave. The discovery, considered a major medical and scientific breakthrough, has enormous implications for human health because many complex diseases appear to be caused by tiny changes in hundreds of gene switches.

Second Half The Difference In ETSU's 79-54 Win Over Radford
Saturday, December 08, 2001Johnson City, Tenn. (Dec. 8, 2001) - After a sluggish first half, East Tennessee State poured in 52 points in the second half to break open a close game, as the Buccaneers cruised to a 79-54 win over Radford in men's basketball action this afternoon. The win was the third in a row for ETSU (4-3) and broke a three-game losing streak to the Highlanders (4-6). In a sloppy first half of action neither team could seem to get their offenses on track. Both squads shot 33.3 percent from the floor and combined to commit 25 turnovers. There were four lead changes and two ties during the first 20 minutes, with the largest lead a seven-point advantage for ETSU at the 6:01 mark on a layup by Ryan Lawson (Rogersville, Tenn.). Radford hung with the Bucs and tied the game on a dunk by Andrey Savtchenko with one minute to play in the half, but a free throw by Isaac Potter (Richmond, Va.) gave ETSU a 27-26 lead when the buzzer sounded. A technical foul called on the Radford bench at the half gave ETSU a pair of free throws to start the second half. Dimeco Childress (Columbia, Tenn.) sank both of the opportunities for the first of what would be 17 points for him in the half, and the Bucs when on to score the first five points of the half, never surrendering the lead to the Highlanders for the rest of the game. Radford trailed by only one with 14:29 left when B.J. Haigler put in a layup to make the score 36-35. Leading by three with 13:04 to play, East Tennessee State went on 14-0 over the next three and a half minutes that put the game out of reach. Childress scored eight of the points during the spurt, and with 9:30 left in the game the Bucs had a 54-37 lead. Radford could not get ETSU's lead back under 10 points the rest of the way, and the Bucs outscored the Highlanders 10-0 with five minutes left to ice the win. Childress ended up with 20 points, including hitting all 10 of his free throw attempts, to lead all scorers. It was the second straight game in which the Bucs have had a 20-point scorer. Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) added 18 points, while Jerald Fields (Gainesville, Fla.) had 12 points, nine rebounds and five steals for the Bucs. Radford had only one player in double figures, with Correy Watkins coming up with a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds. Savtchenko led all rebounders with 11 boards for the Highlanders. East Tennessee State will take the next week off for final exams before returning to action next Saturday, Dec. 15, when the Bucs will host James Madison at Freedom Hall. Tip off will be at 4:00 p.m.

I bought mine at harbor freight. Got the mini and full size, I use the mini the most. It was about 30 bucks and I have went thru 2 of them in about 5 yrs. The name brands are around 150 bucks. I use them for rust, slag, chipping gouges, and paint. When I drag my leads out I also drag my air hose out, its just become a habit. If you try it I guarantee you will never use a chipping hammer again.... the one thing ya gotta be careful with is beating up the welds, you can make a fresh hot weld look pretty crappy if you use the scaler excessively

I barely use a chipper because no one looks and I an a one pass kind of welder. A needle saler is a must have tool, I can live without a gouger. I had one, lost it in a fire, had to borrow one once and finally Rocky D and I each bought one from a classified on Hobart for some super cheap price, havnt used it.
I will agree it has its place in small sizes. If there was a market here its something I would have been interested in setting up, 600A arc gouger and big azz feeder, even in general work never use it though, so handy with a torch to do common demo work for the short time its not worth the extra equipment. Kind of stuff I do a feeder doesnt help, if I really want to get after it I will chuck in a big ole rod.
I am going to agree with owning a scaler, if you dont have it you needed one 30 yrs ago, is a must tool for rust, slag removal too. Portable Welder should own a couple. Easy.

Lavender! It smells amazing. I received the hand cream, the body lotion and the body wash as a gift from my daughter and grandson. All three are wonderful. Smells great and feels great!
Amazing Aroma
The Lavender Hand Cream has such a wonderful aroma but it does not overwhelm even with my sensitivity to fragrances during allergy season. It is so creamy and provides the perfect amount of moisture without making my hands greasy. Love all the Lavender products.
I had purchased this product a few years ago and was happy to find Thymes online to purchase more. I was really surprised to find the size of the product had gone from 4oz to 2.5 oz for the same price. Also, the fragrance has changed and it is not at all like the lavendar I had purchased before. I used to keep it by my bedside to use at night. Now, I do not like the scent at all. I am so disappointed.

Jason Richards has a spring in his step, and he can thank his Commodore V8 Supercar for the ebullience.
The 34-year-old New Zealander, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer in November last year, is making a cameo appearance in the V8 Supercar program at the Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix, and his form in the Team BOC Commodore has been nothing short of irresistible.
Richards will start from grid position five in this evening's race one of the V8 Supercars Albert Park 400, which has left him gobsmacked.
"For a part-time driver I am chuffed with how I'm going," said Richards. "That makes this a worthwhile exercise in itself, and for the team it's also very special."
But just being in a V8 Supercar car is an escape for Richards, a chance to focus all his mental energies on the task at hand.
"I just have a real bounce in step at the moment, and the only time I don't feel like I have cancer is when I am behind the wheel," said Richards.
"And this is about getting in some fun before the real heavy stuff starts and I head back to America for more treatment.
"I know my body is restricting me, but my mind is holding together and I can't wait to start mixing it out on the track with the other lads."
Race one will be held at 6:20pm this evening.
