Even though his car was damaged on two separate occasions as he was sandwiched in Germany, Kimi Raikkonen says both incidents were "ok."
The Ferrari driver, coming from 12th on the grid, was firmly in the thick of the action in Sunday's German GP.
On two occasions, he was in the middle of a three-car sandwich as drivers fought for position and in both his F14T lost bits of bodywork.
But despite that, he had no complaints with either move.
"It was OK, but when I'm in the middle I can't go anywhere. I ended up squeezed a little bit," he said.
"It wasn't much but it was enough to damage the wing. I couldn't go more to the left because there were cars."
The Finn, though, did concede that the damage to his front wing meant he was unable to make his strategy of swapping to the supersofts in his first stop work for him.
"We thought it was the right [strategy] choice but I got hit twice, ended up in the middle of two cars and damaged my front wing. The endplate came off," he told Autosport.
"That didn't help. I killed the front left - the tyres were always OK except the front left.
"So I couldn't run as long as we wanted on the super-softs and just lost performance because of the damage to the car."

That's awesome! I pay around $25 and get 1/30th the speed!
But I do wonder what people use these seriously fast connections for... I source 90% of my TV viewing from the net and barely have time to view everything.
Mahesh, I have a Tata Photon stick as backup should the MTNL connection go on the fritz. I've only had to use it once - it was faster than my wired connection, IIRC.

We are gearing up for our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch and I thought what better way to get excited than with a fun craft! The boys' artwork turned out darling!
To make our craft we started by using watercolors to paint a large hill with sky on top. (I used a light pencil marking to draw the hill before the kids painted.)
After the watercolors were dry, the boys dipped their fist into orange paint and pressed them onto the hill to make pumpkins. I helped them press down their fists at first to help them get the hang of it.
You can see how differently they turned out. I like that each piece of artwork turns out unique because of the different fist prints.
After the pumpkins were dry, the boys used school glue to draw three lines in each pumpkin to give them definition, and then sprinkled orange glitter over the glue. I directed them to try to make the lines in between their fingers of the fist print.
Once the orange glitter was dry, the boys used brown paint to add stems to their pumpkins.
Lastly, they used green paint to add some vines to the pumpkin patch.
The trick to making the vines is using one of these Wilton candy making bottles. Just fill it partially with green paint and any leftovers can be squeezed right back into your green paint bottle. I had my kids practice on a separate sheet of paper to get used to squeezing it and making the swirls before they actually painted on their artwork.
Last year we created pumpkin patch art using a toilet paper roll as a stamp for our pumpkins. You can check it out HERE if you are interested.
Happy Crafting!!

The dense trees, vines, and fallen logs in the vast Ituri Forest provide habitat for the shy, endangered okapi, forest elephant, owl-faced monkey, antelopes, weavers, and a great variety of butterflies and insects. This landscape covers an area of more than 24,000 square miles in northern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC, formerly Zaire) in central Africa. It is also home to farming groups and the Mbuti and Efe pygmies, hunter-gatherers characterized by their short stature (below 5 feet, on average). According to recent archeological evidence, the Mbuti and Efe have lived in the Ituri Forest for at least 40,000 years.

Gallery: Living Walls Provide Local Produce
Green Living Technologies is an innovative landscaping company that is taking advantage of an oft forgotten space to grow plants – walls. Their Green Living™ Wall system uses specially designed recycled aluminum panels to grow herbs, vegetables, fruits and even perennials. These beautiful creations not only enliven a space, but can also provide locally grown food.
Green Living Technologies recently teamed up with Urban Farming for a project called the "Urban Farming Food Chain", which installed a Green Living Wall system in a low-income are in Los Angeles.
After the training and installation, the living wall is now taken care of by local residents that are part of a green club, and provides tomatoes, leeks, cucumbers, strawberries and much more. The wall looks amazing, adds so much character to the neighborhood, gives a sense of pride to the residents, and provides healthy, organic produce. Living wall systems could be an excellent way to provide fresh produce in an urban setting and like green roof systems, help to reduce urban heat island effect.
Installations by Green Living Technologies may be large or very small and can even be connected to a live fish aquarium. One of the most beautiful installations they completed was for the façade of a yoga and fitness studio in NYC. Their Pure Yoga Green Wall looks so soft and inviting and is also incredibly artistic. Truly living art.
Check out their blog for before and after pics of their other installations and to see how it all works.

Woolly pockets are flexible, breathable, and modular gardening containers available in two styles: those designed to be placed on horizontal surfaces, and those designed to be hung on walls for vertical gardening. Woolly Pockets can be used both indoors and out; they have built-in moisture barriers to help protect furniture, and they're equally at home outside in the elements. They're perfect for creating urban gardens where you have space to garden but no land to garden in. Woolly Pockets are lightweight and can be folded flat, which makes them very easy to use, move, and store just about anywhere.

Thanks for the positive feedback but as the CEO and President I wanted to clairify the misquote. In fact we DO NOT use our aluminum for crop walls due to the exact reasons stated. These walls were constructed from stainless steel. Please dont fret we are on the ball with our technology but thank you for your concerns…..I always make myself available and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

He wants to know why one person is more likely to develop a certain disease than someone else, or why specific medical treatments are more effective in some people than others. "I research how we humans are different from each other genetically, and how such information can be used to prevent and better treat diseases," he says.

The Fureys are an Irish male folk band of four brothers - Eddie, Finbar, Paul and George, from Ballyfermot, Dublin. They have also been credited as The Fureys and Davey Arthur. The group formed in 1978 and consisted initially of four brothers. Prior to the band two of the brothers toured as a duo known simply by their names as Eddie and Finbar Furey. Their brother Paul Furey had, together with Davey Arthur and Brendan Leeson, a band called The Buskers. Both were part of a successful tour through Germany called the "Irish Folk Festival", first in 1974, where they performed as The Furey Brothers and later as The Furey Family. Here they were joined by their father Ted, a famous fiddler, who was 73 at that time. Ted Furey had recorded a solo fiddle album Toss the Feathers released by the Outlet label in 1973. In 1981, The Fureys released their most successful single "When You Were Sweet Sixteen", becoming a worldwide hit, reaching #14 on the UK Singles Chart, #1 on the Irish Singles Chart and #9 on the Australian Singles Chart. "The Green Fields of France" also gave them an Irish #1, remaining in the single charts for twenty eight weeks. They also had two Top 40 British albums called Golden Days and At the End of the Day.

Penn Museum and Franklin Institute Offer Discounted Double Ticket Available June 5 through January 2 During Run of Cleopatra
Visitors look up at the Penn Museum's 3,200-year-old red granite Sphinx-the third largest ancient sphinx in the world-in the Museum's Lower Egyptian Gallery.
A 12-ton Sphinx, the third largest ancient sphinx in the world, is surrounded by architectural elements from the Palace of the Pharaoh Merenptah, all ca 1200 BC., in the Penn Museum's Lower Egyptian Gallery.
This Mummy Portrait of a Woman, with frame, dates from the Greco-Roman Period of ancient Egyptian history (2nd century AD), and comes at a time when portraits had become a popular substitute for mummy masks. The frame, not originally belonging to the painting, is one of the earliest in existence. (Objects E16214, E16315)
A larger than life statue of Ramesses II, ca 1250 BC, dominates the Lower Egyptian Gallery of the Penn Museum. (Object E635)
Kneeling Figure of Tutankhamun, ca 1332-1322 BC. This royal statuette may represent Tutankhamun. The figure's arms originally exrtended forward as the king would have been offering jars to a deity. Traces of gold suggest that several areas were gilded, and the eyes and eyebrows may have had inlays. (Object E14295)
Gold Sekhmet Necklace, from Memphis, Egypt, ca 570-626 BC. The necklace consists of cowrie shell-shaped beads, two large barrel-shaped beads, a pomegranate-shaped bead, and a cast solid gold amulet of the goddess Sekhmet. Depicted as a woman with the head of a lioness, Sekhmet was the consort of Ptah, the patron deity of the Memphite area.
This Gilded Mask from the Penn Museum's Upper Egyptian Gallery, dates to the Ptolemaic-Roman Period of ancient Egyptian history, sometime after 300 BC. It would originally have covered the head of a mummy. (Object # 53-20-1a)

A Falls Church, Va., man is suing Montgomery County after being told the sidewalk he was "expressing his religious views" on in downtown Silver Spring was private property, his attorney said.
Michael Corral and his friend, Debra Mehaffey, walked various sidewalks in downtown Silver Spring on March 23, 2012, reading the Bible and distributing religious tracts, according to Corral's attorney, Center for Religious Expression Chief Counsel Nathan W. Kellum.
Corral was standing on the corner of Ellsworth Drive and Fenton Street in front of the Regal Majestic movie theater "sharing his message about his Christian faith," when he was approached by a security guard for Peterson Cos., according to Kellum.
The security guard told Corral he was standing on private property of the movie theater, according to court documents. Corral then walked with the security guard to two Montgomery County Police officers who said the sidewalk in front of the movie theater was private property owned by PFA Silver Spring LC, according to the document.
PFA Silver Spring LC, the document says, is a group of three partners — Peterson Companies, Foulger-Pratt Companies and Argo Investment Company — tasked with redeveloping the 22.5-acre area generally bounded by Georgia Avenue, Colesville Road, Wayne Avenue and Cedar Street.
When Corral "reiterated his belief that he had a right" to be on the sidewalk because he thought the spot was considered public property, officers issued a Trespass Notification Form. Court documents say the form alleged Corral was in violation of the law because he "[r]efused to leave when told to do so by security."
The form also cites that Corral cannot return to the 900 block of Ellsworth Drive, the 800 block of Ellsworth Park, the 8500 block of Fenton Street and the 8600 block of Fenton Street for one year. Corral is still banned from these areas of downtown Silver Spring, Kellum said.
After requesting to be allowed back in those areas of Silver Spring on April 23, Corral received a letter on May 18 from the county attorney's office denying Corral was banned from expressing his beliefs on a public sidewalk, stating that the property is privately owned, according to court documents.
County Attorney Marc Hansen said his office had not yet received the complaint and said it was too early to comment on the case.
This is not the first time someone was told the sidewalk was private property. In June 2007, photographer Chip Py was told he was not allowed to take pictures on Ellsworth Drive because it was private property. The county attorney eventually determined Ellsworth Drive "constitutes a public forum," according to a July 30, 2007, finding.
When the county entered into an agreement with PFA Silver Spring LC in April 1998 for the Silver Spring Retail Redevelopment Urban Renewal Project, the county agreed to lease Ellsworth Drive between Fenton Place and Georgia Avenue to PFA, according to the document. The county, the document said, "retained an easement over specific portions of the leased properties for vehicular and pedestrian use."
Then, in 2002, the county entered into a lease with PFA and recorded a Declaration of Easements, which stated the county reserved Public Use Easements over several leased parcels in downtown Silver Spring, including Ellsworth Drive. The easements defined the areas as "public use space" by the county zoning ordinance which is "required by the sector plan and other space devoted to such uses as space for public enjoyment."
Kellum said that while no hearing had been set as of Tuesday afternoon, he hopes the court will rule on the civil lawsuit to allow Corral back into the space as soon as possible.

Loyola Marymount University's commitment to advancing student success was strengthened by a $1 million grant from the McNair Scholarships Program at the U.S. Department of Education. The program, aimed primarily at science and engineering students, will help LMU put students on the academic path to graduate degrees and doctorates.
"Our faculty and staff worked hard to bring McNair to LMU," said Abbie Robinson-Armstrong, the university's vice president for intercultural affairs. "The grant was the highest-scoring new grant that the program received. This program has played a role in shaping thousands of researchers over the years." The final grant-writing team was led by Curtis Bennett, associate dean of Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering and professor of mathematics.
The scholarship program is named after Ronald E. McNair, who earned his doctorate in physics at MIT and later became an astronaut. McNair was the second African-American to fly in space, aboard the Challenger in 1984. He died in the Challenger explosion in 1986. To commemorate McNair's life and career, the Department of Education instituted the scholarship for low-income, first-generation students, and/or underrepresented students with a primary goal of preparing them for graduate-level education.
"Considering a post-baccalaureate degree was never something I or my family thought about until I was chosen to be a part of the McNair Scholars Program," said Owen Dominguez, a junior electrical engineering major. "However, when my family and I were invited for an informational luncheon, we were very impressed with the program's goals and the supportive community from LMU."
The McNair program at LMU will not be exclusively science and technology; students from the social sciences are also included. The 25 exceptionally accomplished students were chosen after a challenging selection process, said Ed Mosteig, associate professor of mathematics and who is the administrator the program and will provide specialized support for the students.
The heart of the program is mentorship; six highly recognized from five departments will work closely to prepare the students for the rigors of graduate work and to stay aware of opportunities as they arise. "My McNair mentor and I are already exploring ideas to conduct research in Ethiopia after graduation," said Mahalet Gebeyhu, a senior civil engineering major.
During a daylong celebration and orientation for McNair scholars and their families, Jeffrey Wilson, associate dean of Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts and a professor of philosophy, told of a student of his, who had been taught that "she could not reach that high" as a Ph.D. and a college teaching career. Wilson said that the McNair Scholars program reverses the effects of messages like that, and that these students could become scientists and academics, and possibly science advisers to the state of California, the U.S. government, the Organization of American States, the European Union, and the United Nations.

1 (15 ounce) can
pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon
ground ginger
1 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
Great recipe, but I see what the prior poster meant by "unfinished." I left out the onions (hate em') and tweaked the sauce a little. I used the pumpkin and cream idea as a base, and made a slightly thinner, creamier sauce with sour cream and cream cheese instead of heavy cream. I also added olive oil, kept the garlic, plus added milk, chicken stock, Trader Joe's pumpkin butter, crushed fennel, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and ginger to taste. The result was a creamy, delicious sauce that was absolutely amazing, with a rich pumpkin flavor. Ok, so I tweaked the recipe a LOT, but the pumpkin sauce base found here was my inspiration to build this great sauce. Served with a side of baked herb bread, and a glass of Italian red wine - PRIMO!
I was soooo excited about this receipe...but I agree with previous reviews it definately lacks something. Tried a few suggestions from below, but still wasn't quite what I was looking for. will not make again.

Very very tasty. I took a few liberties with seasonings, but mostly followed the recipe :) I used fresh ginger instead of ground, and cooked it with the sausage and extra onion and garlic. Also my sausage was sage flavored. I added a dollop of sour cream to the sauce, along with parsley, a little ground ginger, some rosemary and a bit of sage. Turned out very good, thanks for the recipe! UPDATE: Made this again with turkey breakfast sausage, very good!
I liked this recipie but modified it somewhat. After I sauteed the sausage, onion and garlic, I added chicken stock for another layer of flavor....let it reduce before adding the cream and pumkin puree....I also added freshly grated nutmeg and chopped sage at the end as well as topped with freshly grated parmasean. My husband loved the flavor, but thought it was still a little thick...would thin with pasta water last minute next time.
It's not bad, just unfinished. It needs something and being a novice, I have no idea what it could be! It's dry with just the pumpkin and the cream to make the sauce, you can't taste the pumpkin and I'm definitely missing a chunky vegitable because of it. With the noodles and italian sausage, it almost seems natural to add tomatoes, and maybe a can of diced tomatoes is all it needs, but I'd really like to see someone bring out the pumpkin flavor and create a better sauce. Until then, I won't be using this recipe again! Good luck!!
Wow, this was so good! I used whole wheat pasta, fat free milk, and I added some fresh spinach to make it healthier. I doubled the amount of garlic and cream and it was amazing, can't wait to make it again!
I had received a can of pumpkin puree in a care package from my mom and had no idea what to make since I didn't have pie crust and sure didn't feel like making some. This is similar to a Rachael Ray recipe and I kind of combined them both. I added 1/8 tsp clove, 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg (it is the secrete to the sauce...don't leave out nutmeg) and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. (I think I lessened the amount of ginger because of the additional spices.) I also added dried sage, 2 tsp of it. (The sage with sausage and pumpkin is amazing.) I followed Rachael Ray's idea of adding chicken stock and white wine to loosen the sauce. (2 tbls of heavy cream just isn't enough liquid for this to be a creamy sauce.) It was super tasty and I'm surprised there were left overs the way my boyfriend was eating it. I will certainly make it again with my changes. (I only gave it 4 stars because I did make a lot of changes for it to be as good as it was.)
OK not the best-looking dish I've ever made but it tasted good! We debated if this should be 3 stars or 4, my husband kept saying 3.5. It was decent comfort food on a night when we wanted something simple that we didn't need to go to the store for any ingredients. Happened to have sausage in the freezer and had just bought a can of pumpkin. Added white wine, crushed red pepper, sage, a sprinkle of nutmeg, and a dollop of cream cheese. It worked out OK!

major changes to trinkets and I'm sorry that it may have given the impression that the DMF was bis, Lei shin's final orders (H) are actually BIS but only just. The data I used to get the previous value were taken from wowhead and some were up to 2-3K off the actual value from in game (they are currently still way lower, check it yourself). once again I'm sorry for this, I should have cross referenced the data.

I've sort of added in the new 'real' PPM for wind song and elemental force, these numbers are not final as I still need to math out a few things such as relative proc rate concerning 'time since last proc' and if it truly procs off everything (mainly concerned about BT heal and itself).
Cool, yep. I switched over from Windsong to Elemental Force when I saw the blue post.

Ridgway wrestling won 70-0 over Johnsonburg Thursday night at Ridgway Area High School in a dual meet.
The Elkers had Senior Night and honored a dozen seniors. The seniors honored were Chad Quail, Chris Woods, Corey Bush, Dakota Dahler, Jake Himes, Kyle Caggiano, Seth Stahl, Slade Horner, Steve Mitchell, Tad Pierce, Trevor Delhunty and Tyler Himes.
JOHNSONBURG –The Ramettes (9-5) found their groove Thursday night as underclassmen Chelsea Benson and Brittany Watts accounted for 39 of the team's 56 points as Johnsonburg stretched their winning streak to seven games with a 56-40 win over DuBois Central Catholic (5-10).
Sophomore Chelsea Benson paced all scorers with 21 points while junior Brittany Watts followed with 18 on the night. Watts scored all of her points in the first half on nine 2-point field goals before succumbing to foul trouble in the second half.
Ridgway senior Kyle Caggiano recently passed the 100-win milestone for his career.
Caggiano won his 100th match at the Clearfield Duals last Saturday in the dual against Clearfield. He wrestled at 170 pounds and won a 19-1 technical fall in 5:58 over Kody Hepfer.
"It was great, I liked it," Caggiano said. "It was exciting to get it. It ended up being a tech fall in our last match against Clearfield. It was pretty exciting."
JOHNSONBURG – The Ramettes saw 11 players get into the scoring column Tuesday night as Johnsonburg (8-5) cruised to a 60-19 win over Sheffield (2-13).
The Ramettes, who extended their winning streak to six games, were led by junior Rhianon Fowler, who paced all scorers with 17 points and was the only player in double-figures for the night.
"We were able to get some work on our zone defense and our girls hit some shots," said Johnsonburg head girls varsity basketball coach Mike Zilkofski. "We usually see a man-to-man defense but I was happy with the way we came out and shot the ball.
Low point outputs in the first and third quarters ultimately doomed Ridgway in a 35-23 loss to Curwensville Tuesday night at Ridgway Area High School in an AML South game.
Ridgway scored two points in the first quarter and three in the third quarter.
"It was poor execution," Ridgway coach Glenn Schauer said. "Defensively, we only gave up 35 points, not too bad. Offensively, we turned the ball over to the other team. It was just poor execution. It's frustrating. Sometimes we play well and then in games we can win, we play like this, frustrating."
Ridgway boys basketball made the opposition miserable in the minutes before halftime for the second consecutive night.
The Elkers closed out the half with an 8-0 run and propelled Ridgway to a 55-40 victory over Brookville Wednesday night at Ridgway Area High School.
Ridgway had a similar run against DuBois Central Catholic Tuesday night in a 42-31 win over the Cardinals. Brookville won 56-39 on Jan. 19, 2011 over Ridgway on the Raiders' home floor.
Ridgway boys basketball continued its undefeated run with a 42-31 victory over DuBois Central Catholic Tuesday night in an AML South matchup at Ridgway Area High School.
JOHNSONBURG – The Rams (9-2) rebounded Tuesday with a 54-31 win over struggling Brockway (4-8) to right the ship at the midway point of the regular season.
Backed by a 17-point outburst from sophomore guard Cole Peterson, the Rams overcome a brief sluggish start to outlast the Rovers while relying on a stifling defense in the second half to put the game away.
ST. MARYS – The Elk County Catholic Crusaders improved their record to 7-5 on the season with a 51-36 non-league victory over the Curwensville Golden Tide last night at the ECCHS gym.
After trailing 18-17 at the half, Elk Catholic went on to outscore the Golden Tide by a 34-18 margin in the second 16 minutes of play.
"Tonight was a team effort and a good win," said ECCHS coach Aaron Straub. "We were able to get away with a poor first half."
ST. MARYS – The Elk County Catholic Crusaders handed the St. Marys Area Flying Dutch a 67-47 District 9 League setback last night at the ECCHS gym.
The Crusaders were able to use a quick start to jump out to an 18-4 lead after the first eight minutes of play. The Dutch were never able to recover as the Crusaders went on for the victory.
"We had a good start but I thought we played a little loose in the fourth quarter," said ECCHS coach Aaron Straub. "We were shooting the ball pretty well and when you make them they are all good shots."

Questions About Traditional Animation
Hello AnimationNation,
first of all, i'm very grateful that my account has been activated. Thanks a lot!
My name is Pepijn (Peppin in English) Claus, an animation student in Rits (School of Arts), Brussels, Belgium. I'm in my second year at the moment.
Although I've learned a lot so far, there are still some things I don't understand about animation. Timing charts in particular. Hopefully some of you can help me out!
What I understand:
First start with the keys (1 and 9), then the breakdown (5, the drawing that defines the curve, which shouldn't be an inbetween) and finally the inbetweens (4 and 6, 3 and 7, …)
This is what I know. It's sort of a "basic" timing chart. The thing is: I use this chart for almost évery movement, which makes my animations very even and because of that very dull.
This is what I don't understand:
say, we have a chart on thirds:
Where do I put the breakdown?
Or here?
Or is it like it doesn't matter if it's 3 or 4, as long as you have a curve?
I also have a question about the in-betweens (2 and 5) in this chart. Is it necessary, because 2 and 5 are not in the middle of 3 and 4, to draw three more drawings (which I will throw away later) for getting exact in-betweens? Like this:
Or is it okay if I just "feel" how the drawings must look like? So that three more drawings are unnecessary?
Or does it not matter- whatever pleases you? It's a dumb question, but I want to know what technique work best.
I know my questions are sort of vague, and I hope my English is understandable…
I have the same questions with charts on quarters: where do I put the breakdown?
Another question I have is about the anticipation:
Say, someone has an idea:
I draw an anticipation:
I want the chart for my antic like this:
And then this chart for lifting his arm:
The thing is, because throughout the animation the arm is following the same curve, these drawings would almost look the same (same position):
Is this something we have to avoid, or does it not matter?
One last question I have is about the settle
Say, I want to create an animation where someone points his finger.
First I draw the keys
Where do I draw the settle?
After the key? (From 5 to 8)
Or béfore the key, so that drawing 5 will be the settle, and 8 is the key?
Is there a rule of thumb, or does it depend on the movement?
That's all. Thanks for reading my questions. Maybe it are minor issues, perhaps the questions are stupid (?), but these things have been bothering me for a long time.
Hopefully you can help me out, means a lot to me.
Thanks in advance,
P.S. I know my English is not great, sorry about that!
Re: Questions About Traditional Animation
Hey Pepijn! Welcome to AN. Your English is fine.
My philosophy is do what's right for the animation and do what works without getting too caught up with technical details such as where to place breakdowns.
When I animate traditionally I avoid timing charts based upon thirds. I always went to the halfway mark or the quarter mark and it worked out pretty well. Or I would forgo the timing chart and animate straight ahead getting something that is right for what I'm looking to achieve and them map out a timing chart as an afterthought.
That's me and I realize that everyone is different and has their own ways.
Again, in reply to your concerns, the best advice I can give is to find what's right for what you're doing and not get too formulaic. Even with anticipation and follow through / settles I look for what works for the particular segment, scene or sequence and then go with it. Trial and error along with experimentation will do the trick.
Reference Preston Blair's "Animation" and Richard williams' "Animators Survival Kit".
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Re: Questions About Traditional Animation
Hey Charles,
thanks a lot for your response! Great advice!
I'm also very grateful for your recommendations!
Good luck with your animations!
I wish you all the best,
Re: Questions About Traditional Animation
Here's the best that I can offer for advice. As charles said it's important to find what feels best to you. I'm just sharing the logic I follow.
Gonna try to address your questions best I can:
1. Thirds- I treat thirds like i do quarters. I would find the drawings for BOTH 3 and 4, 3 favoring the start and 4 favoring the end poses. Sometimes I find the phantom even breakdown to help find those drawings.
2. Question 2, about inbetweens 2 and 5- It's not necessary to do the drawings that you would normally throw away, IF you have a strong instinct for art position. I would recommend finding them, because it will make your animations stronger, and is a great exercise to practice anyways...
3. Question 3, charts on quarters. Pretty much same answer as question 1.
4. The antic question. Position 2 and 4 LOOK like they could be the same drawing and that solution Could work. But the reality is 4 should be a little different because the arm is on a journey to a bend, not a straight swing back. So position 2 is a breakdown between 2 straight arms, and position 4 should be an in-between from a straight arm to a curve. Say you want to keep the arm straight for position 4. I'd then just find the in-between position between position 4, and 5 and use that as my position 2, that way the art won't "stick".
5. The settle question. Your first illustration looks to me like it cushions into the pose. It sounds like you are trying to achieve an overshoot/settle. That looks like it's better represented by your second illustration (http://imageshack.us/a/img545/3450/sche ... 013032.jpg)If that's the case, I'm not sure about your position 4. It seems like it might slow down your movement. The way I'd handle it is move position 4 to the even break down position. Position 3 I'd put evenly between 1 and 4, and 2 would be an in-between between 1 and 3. I would use position 5 as my overshoot (extreme) and 8 as my end key. 6 would be my even breakdown and 7 would be the in-between. This last bit is all just what I would do. There's no one true answer. Experiment, and find what works best for you. Hope any of that helped, or made sense, and good luck!

About 6 years ago I bought a Speedglas 9000F hood. It is a really nice hood. It has a number 12 lens and as I am only running mig now, I cannot see a darned thing but the puddle. I just called 3M to get a new 10 lens and was told that it is 3 generations old and it would cost me $400 for a new lens, so I may as well just buy a new helmet. Now, to me, that is just tremendous customer service.
I'm in business and I understand product cycles, but you have to buy from people who support their products after the sale. In my opinion, speedglas has done anything but. Parts are a profit center but they should not be priced so that you push your customers away. At least that is the way I see it
I guess I'll run down and pick up that new Miller helmet I was looking at yesterday.

I use a 9100xx and i have never had a problem with it. But replacement outer lenses are pretty hard to find for it .
I was thinking about buying a Speedglas 9100xx but now I'm glad that I didn't yet. Service after the sale is extremely important; especially with the economy tanking. I'm glad I ran across this post...Thanks!
I bought a shield that is called a ( Arc One ) and have had it for a little over a year now and have been very pleased with it, I used to have a speed glass and gave it to my foreman.
I like the fact that I never have to turn it on and I like how the head gear tightens like a huntsman.
Keep in mind I have only had it for about 15 months, If mine broke tomorrow I would go get another one.
Thanks for the info. I'm going to look into that...

I just looked in the Speedglas manual and I see that the 9000F model has 10, 11, and 12. I thought that meant that the 9000F was adjustable for those three settings.Miller Syncrowave 200

I don't think Speedglas is as popular since it changed hands. Mine was a Hornell version; then they went to 3-M but I don't know whether they are still with them.Miller Syncrowave 200

Whatever brand you buy ALWAYS make sure that the model you buy has a VARIABLE shade...
we all have made mistakes by not being well enough informed before purchase...
sounds like this was not a customer service problem... they had no way of anticipating your purchase mistake from 6 years ago..and your change in welding process.
sorry for your problem ... but it falls on you..
the good news is the autodark helmets are getting better and cheaper all the time..
I have bought several autodark helmets over the years.. some good.. some so so... one great (Miller BWE)..... and one real stinker (Jackson EQC)... but all of those purchases were a result of whether I had done my homework... I get the credit or the blame... not the manufacturer...
The more you know, The better you know, How little you know
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten
Buy the best tools you can afford.. Learn to use them to the best of your ability.. and take care of them...

How does this fall on the OP that Speedglass is trying to rape him for a replacement shade?
I understand he bought what he needed at the time but $400 for a new lense is ridiculous.

hey guys,,,I know this is an old subject for most all of you but,,
I am attempting my first auto panel restoration and I need some basic info.
I want to cut old panel sections out on the vehicle and mig weld the new panel on . I have obviously never done this before.
I have asked this question once before and many ideas were presented back to me concerning whether or not to leave the Battery connected while welding. However,,, I did not get any concrete tips on doing the welding on the panels in place on the vehicle.
I assume there is no problem doing so given all the general precautions regarding keeping the gas tank well insulated from sparks, do not weld if fumes are present,use some backing materials to prevent excess sparking,etc.
Any professional input is welcome.
Oh yeah,,,humor and sarcasm is OK too,,, as long as the advice is good!

Mig welding auto panels in Place on vehicle
No it shouldn't be a problem as long as you follow all of the precautions that you mentioned.
Body shops weld on vehicles all the time unless the panel is a bolt on replacement, or plastic!!!

I have welded sub-frames on my Mustang without any problem. I followed the same safety precautions that you mention. I disconnected the battery because I was worried about having some affect on the car's computer or electrical system. I would recommend, though you probably already realize, that you should be careful to get a good ground as a further precaution in protecting the electrical system.

Check out Miller's archives for an article written by one of the NASCAR teams regarding tack welding body panels.
Has some good tips regarding volt setting and wfs.
Are you replacing full panels or just patching them in? Give us more details so we can help better with your questions. Some pictures would be helpful too.
If you are replacing body panels such as quarter panels, rear body panel or trunk floor some precautions need to be made to insure proper fit up before welding. If that is the case I will go into more detail but if you are just patching panels, work in as small an area as you can and stagger your welds through out the panel to minimize warpage. Always check behind the panel you are working on as many of them have sound deadeners, insulation, seam sealers and other flammable materials glued to them. A fire extinguisher is a must have item when doing this kind of work, doesn't hurt to have a fireman (extra person just in case) standing near by either. Another suggestion is to get some Cleco fasteners to hold your panels in place while you do your fit up before weld it out. If you don't know what Cleco's are I will go into more detail there as well.
Door skins are different in the way they are installed as well and can also give more detail if necessary.
One big mistake I see quite often when working on body panels is that the car is jacked up on one corner where the work is being performed. All chassis will flex when jacked and the entire vehicle needs to be placed on stands UNDER the suspension (all 4 wheels) so that the car sits natural as if it where on the ground. If the car is not supported in this manner the once nice fitting panel will not fit so nice when placed back on the ground.
BTW, preparation is the key to a good fit up and final end product, it is where the most time should be spent. Trying to cut corners will only come back and make ten times more work to straighten out what should have been done to begin with.If necessity is the Mother of Invention, I must be the Father of Desperation!

Composition and Construction
Engineered Hardwood frame construction allows for greater durability and strength. Mortise and tenon joints have replaced traditional dowel construction used in frame construction. The mortise (hole or slot) is cut into one member and the tenon or tongue from the adjoining piece fits tightly so that, when glued, these joints act as if the wood has grown together. This method of interlocking joinery provides greater stability with fewer joints. Frames are constructed of 7-ply engineered hardwood panels for increased strength and durability. Frames are glued and stapled.
Heavy gauge coil spring unit coils are linked together and attached to a heavy gauge border wire for consistency and longevity. Individualized coil seating units function independently of the other providing individual seating comfort for even support and weight distribution. Each spring is oven tempered to provide greater strength and durability.
The comfort soft seat cushion is designed and constructed to achieve a softer and supportive feel. A dense polyurethane foam core is laminated both top and bottom with a layer of soft foam and wrapped with polyester fiber to provide a comfortable seat and is encased in a non-woven ticking.
Loose back pillows are filled with a generous amount of polyester fiber. Non-woven ticking allows air to escape during use. The pillows are constructed with horizontal channels sewn in which minimizes shifting and settling.
Additional Options for this Upholstery product available in our Design Centers
Cushion Fill
From full support to featherblend and everything in between - we offer a diverse selection of cushion fill options to ensure you always have the best seat in the house.
Trim can take a sofa, chair or ottoman up a venerable style notch. From rope braid and fringe to decorative ribbon and nail heads, the options are only as limited as your imagination.
Nail Head
Modern. Luxe. Forever chic. Nail head trim instantly adds panache to a variety of frame options. A graphic way to truly "frame" a frame.
A variety of finishes are available to complement any indoor or outdoor fabric application you choose.

The 2nd National Symposium on Food Systems and Sustainability: "Making the Invisible Visible"
Davis, CA
November 9 and 10, 2010
Sponsored by the Inter-institutional Network for Food, Agriculture and Sustainability (INFAS)
Hosted by the Agricultural Sustainability Institute (ASI) at UC Davis
With major support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and additional support from UC Davis College of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences, UC Agriculture and Natural Resources, and Clover Stornetta Farms.
AGENDA: For the full symposium agenda, click here. (opens as PDF)
SUPPLEMENTAL RESOURCES: For additional readings and resources related to the symposium, click here.
RESOURCES FOR REPORTERS: For additional media resources, click here.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS: The theme of the 2nd National Symposium on Food Systems and Sustainability is "Making the Invisible Visible." The agenda includes interactive tours where guests will explore four thematic areas important to food and agriculture – youth, power, justice, and resilience.
The interactive tours include:
- Work in the field with new, young farmers at The Center for Land-Based Learning's Farm on Putah Creek. Discuss the financial, cultural and systemic obstacles to entering farming today.
- Interact with students at Grant Union High School in Sacramento, who have created a student garden and kitchen program to tackle neighborhood food access challenges. Work with them to design a high school curriculum that shows why real food is important.
- Explore food access challenges in Ceres, CA with local activists in the Central California Regional Obesity Prevention Program. Learn about their success and barriers to creating farmers markets, community gardens and markets with fresh foods in low-income neighborhoods throughout the San Joaquin Valley.
- Meet with farmworker clients of the California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation and hear their stories including heat illness, and musculoskeletal injuries. Experience what a worker must go through in order to submit a wage claim when employers fail to pay them.
- Tour Hedgerow Farms, a new local leader in on-farm conservation, and take part in seeding (if weather permits). Identify barriers to adoption of on-farm habitat restoration and discuss how to increase the adoption rate.
- At UC Davis' Russell Ranch Sustainable Agriculture Facility, sample greenhouse gases from soils in cover cropped and fallow fields. Learn about past results from cover crops and greenhouse gas research and interpret your sample findings in the afternoon.
Tours will take place Tuesday, November 9, 9am – 3pm.
MORE INFORMATION: For more information about the four thematic areas of youth, power, justice, and resilience, and more details on the tours (including other field trips not listed above), click here.
Symposium Program Overview
Tuesday, November 9 : "Making the Invisible Visible." Through experience during field trips, participants will identify components of the food system that may be invisible or less visible to themselves and others and begin to consider how these aspects might inform research, policy, education and other agendas.
Wednesday, November 10 : "Making the Whole System Visible." What happens when we can "see" the whole system? What possibilities are unleashed through the visualization and integration of "invisible" elements? How do we leverage these possibilities?
Who is attending: Invited guests include INFAS members, Kellogg/IATP (Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy) Food and Society Fellows, Real Food Challenge student leaders, and journalists and other media representatives.

How do you top off / fill the differential on a 1996 Chevy Caprice? Can it be done without taking the cover off and changing the gasket? Any gotchas to watch out for?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for mechanics and DIY enthusiast owners of cars, trucks, and motorcycles. It's 100% free, no registration required.
There are two methods I use.One is to attach a piece of hose to the pointed tip of the gear oil container and stick the other end in the differential.Then squeeze the bottle.The other method is to use a suction gun that looks like a big metal hypodermic syringe.You suck the oil in then push in the plunger and squirt the oil into the fill hole.

What do you think a teenager should do when he is interested in so many things that he cannot settle for any option for his future?
What do you think a teenager should do when he is interested in so many things that he cannot settle for any option for his future?
May 26 2011: SURF! :D
May 27 2011: ahah i have been meaning to try it,but the opportunity hasn't come up yet =)May 26 2011: I've changed majors... let me count... 6 times. And I will be a junior in college this coming fall. That doesn't include my "plans" I had in high school either.
Here are my suggestions based on your expenses for higher education. (college is an expensive endeavor)
1) No money:
-Go to community college. Here you'll be able to take a variety of general education courses to see which fields interest you the most. This will also introduce you to the subjects at the college level. You may have loved chemistry or physics in high school, but when you realize you have to take multi-variable calculus... you may change your mind.
2) Broke to $10,000
option 1: same as above
option 2: Live at home and commute to a state school. Depending on your location, you may be able to find a school that is close enough and cheap. My TOTAL tuition cost is only ~$3,000 this coming fall. I opted to live at home and commute to save the 10k it costs to live at school. I also go to a SUNY school which is a big money saver already. You can declare a major that interests you if you'd like, or just remain undeclared.
3) $10,000 +
If you really have no idea what you want to do, save your money and try the smaller options. If your parents are filthy rich and you really feel the need to go to Harvard, be my guest. Just be weary as you may find out the school isn't right for you.
In general, I would choose a school that fits a variety of your interests so you have the option to try different subjects out. Also, try finding graduate students at your potential colleges. Many schools will post their graduate student emails somewhere, as they usually do some sort of stipend work (usually teaching or some sort of desk-type job). I'm willing to bet most grad students would be open to discussing this sort of stuff with you, especially if it pertains to their graduate work.
Good luck!
May 26 2011: Thanks a lot for your answer!
there is one thing i can't do here in Portugal ,that you mentioned,I can't not declare myself in any major,if I go to a faculty or university I have to sign up for a specific major,i can't wander around untill i find something that suits me...this quite unfortunate thoughMay 28 2011: I can say I've been there a decade ago (and I don't mean Cascais :p). I believe four main aspects are at stake here.
First, as life expectancy stretches (and so does education) it seems that people are young for a longer period of time. In other words, I don't think an 18 year old today - generally speaking, of course - has the same kind of maturity that an 18 year old would have, say, 50 years ago. Of course teenagers are better prepared in terms of technological abilities and other aspects that play a central role in modern society, but the weight of responsibility is being pushed further into the future. Getting a job, moving out or raising a family (basically the three main moves most of us make in life that involve a lot of responsibility) are being delayed. And that's not necessarily bad. But to force people who are unprepared to choose their profession and stick to it is just not wise.
Second, shouldn't we try before we buy? I mean, before choosing a career, teenagers should have the opportunity to see how things really work in their favourite professions, by visiting companies, interviewing professionals, watching documentaries, doing internships, reading books with realistic accounts and critiques of different fields of expertise, etc.
Third, technological advances have made it a lot easier for us to specialise. For instance, the skills a graphic designer needed a couple of decades ago, and the skills he needs now are quite different. They both require sensibility, but the process of designing was made a lot easier and accessible, even for people who can't hand-draw that well (but still have great ideas flourishing in their minds). On the other hand, these advances also mean the new professionals need to update their knowledge and skills (a lot) more frequently. When we say 'there's no job for life anymore', it not only means people will change workplaces, it also means their professions will change throughout their lives.
(to be continued... below)May 28 2011: And yes, they might change professions more often.
Fourth, sometimes it doesn't really matter how old you are, because you'll always feel attracted toward different interests. In different times it would have been harder to pursue those interests, so someone would enforce a path upon you and you would do whatever your parents wanted you to, or whatever your social condition allowed you to aspire to, etc. Today you are presented with the gift of choice. And choosing is hard.
So, finally, my advice (mostly derived from experience): if there's something you really, really, love, choose it, even if it's slightly unrealistic (better to pursue your one true dream - even if for a limited period of time, because money really is necessary in life - than to spend the rest of your time trying to convince yourself of how rational and sensible your decision was). But since you seem to be divided, well, what about choosing one of your interests as a career and the others as hobbies, or side-jobs? And might you couple some of your interests into the same career (multi-disciplinary approaches are valued in certain fields).
And since we're in a time of crisis and there's a shortage of jobs (and new types of jobs coming to life while others face extinction), I would add this: if one of your interests presents itself as a safer choice in terms of future employment opportunities and / or earning prospects, it might work as the decisive factor.
Anyway, don't worry too much. If you're anything like me, in a decade you'll still be figuring out what you want to do with the rest of your life. Just make sure the next decade is filled with experiences that allow you to grow and work in something that's meaningful to you.
May 30 2011: Ahah thanks a lot for your advice,I quite agree with your point of view.I do not know why i am writing in english since you and i are Portuguese.
O meu maior problema neste momento e ter ido para a area errada,e agora nao tenho as disciplinas necessarias para ingressar em cursos que me tem interessado mais...vou talvez ficar um ano apos o decimo segundo para fazer as discipinas especificas de ciencias,para que possa entrar na faculdade de farmacia,porque ultimamente tem me cativado imenso,a investigacao viral,e tudo o que esta associado.
May 31 2011: Bem, pelo que vejo já tens um plano. Se o problema é "perderes" um ano, mais vale agora, do que começares um curso que não te cativa realmente e depois acabares na mesma por trocar, com mais tempo e dinheiro investidos. Acho que as pessoas não têm todas de fazer o mesmo percurso em linha recta nem terminar o curso com a mesma idade.
Dito isto, boa sorte!
PS: daqui a uns tempos provavelmente irás perceber que teres ido para a "área errada" te dá uma vantagem em relação aos teus futuros colegas. Não terás muita dificuldade em recuperar a formação de base e por outro lado vais ter um ponto de vista diferente dos teus colegas que te pode vir a ser bastante útil.
Jun 1 2011: Muito obrigado!espero que sim,em relacao a vantagem.
por mais que nao seja,tive experiencias boas nesta are errada =)Jun 1 2011: Choose! :-)
Really it's the only option he's got. Choices will have to be made either way, to not choose is simply impossible considering that there are choices. To choose randomly is not wise because one may regret the choice later, choosing based on knowledge is less likely to be the choice one regrets but that's still uncertain. One can acquire knowledge by talking to people in different fields and understanding what they do.
Jun 1 2011: i totaly agree!thank youJun 1 2011: Be in the moment.
Do what you like - if you like yourself and who you are then you will never fail.
Living is very different to what it what was 20 years ago and 20 years before that - culture has changed and you have the ability to shape your future and the future culture.
One important thing is to appreciate the support of others (so have some good people around you, family and friends) and to support others around you in a positive manner. Oh and talk to as many people about it as possible - you never know where inspiration can come from.
All the best and wishing you have a great story to tell.
Jun 1 2011: thanks a lot!May 30 2011: Live, learn, and enjoy. No matter what you choose to pursue those three things one can always do.May 27 2011: I know this isn't very concrete, or anything, but what I did was to consider what I enjoy doing, and by that I don't mean a subject. What I do mean is what skills you enjoy employing, and how you enjoy using them. For me, it was analysis, and coupled with the fact that I like (close to, anyway) definite answers, I chose physics.My point is, the subject is only a manifestation of the skills that you use in the course of studying it, so choose based on what you actually enjoy doing everywhere, and pick a subject based on that.
May 28 2011: in the process of trying,thanks =)

May 27 2011: Hey mate, these articles may help you http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/04/how-many-careers-would-you-like/
- 0
May 27 2011: this guy has a very good point of view,thanks a lot for sharing!May 26 2011: I think it is actually depended on how much he knows about himself. Later deciding his abilities, hobbies, likes and so on we can talk about the settle. It is also such as writing an essay. Writers have to follow the essay structure; otherwise, it might confuse the reader. Same as this life we live in, if we go for a lot of different interests then we might be ended up with nothing or obviously confuse ourselves. It is very good to have varieties in life, but for the fundamental needs such like a job or a marriage we ought to be constant on our decisions. Lastly, doing what we like will never makes us aimless; therefore, instead of just earning tons of money with loosing some hair and getting bored everyday, we should consider both our enjoy and money together. In brief, setting up goals onto what we like and being constant on it will settle the teen and assist him.
May 27 2011: Thanks!

May 26 2011: Yes,I intend to do everything,but i cannot do them all as a career,and being at the end of migh high school year,i need to find out what college to aply to..
thanks a lot!=)May 26 2011: One option would be to travel if you have the means. A 'gap year' where you see how big this amazing world is could help you find out what is really out there.
You could spend some time volunteeriing around the issues or kinds of jobs that are potenital candidates.
I hope you find something wonderful, Sebastian!
May 26 2011: thanks a lot =) unfortunately i don't have that kind of means ,but volunteering is a very good idea!May 26 2011: I have the same problem. My mum said just do something in the meantime, I think that its especially hard in the current world because there is so many choices for a person in our position, for me i have saved enough money in several months to travel all over the place and i have a few contacts in thailand and egypt which means i can stay there for a pretty long time basically free accomodation and in 3 months i earned more than thier average yearly wage. I dont think this is helpfull at all but im in the same position and im starting to think helping the poor like this guy http://www.youtube.com/user/UnculturedProject is something decent to do...
May 26 2011: Wow!that is a great cause,certainly! i shall keep investigating to see if i can find something that calls to me.
You do those travels,they will be definitely good for yoy!
thank you for your answer!
Comment deleted
May 26 2011: that is exactly how i feel,i don't want to be stuck somewhere for the rest of my life if i am not enjoying it,but it has been hard to find just a few things to focus on,beacuse i am always wanting to learn more and more about a series of things.
thanks a lot!May 25 2011: Pick just three things of interest. No more. No less. A construction stands most stable on three legs. ....Take the tripod....

Super Light + Super Strong = Super Agile
While everybody is trying to make the core of their skis lighter, we decided to put air in the surrounding fiberglass. AIRCOAT means our fibers are hollow, not only making our skis super light, but extremely agile and strong at the same time. This technology, also used in the aerospace industry, is the main reason, why AIRCOAT equipped skis most probably are the lightest skis on the market.
Super Light + Super Strong = Super Agile
40% LIGHTER – Regular glass fibers are solid, whereas AIRCOAT fibers are hollow. This reduces the overall weight of the fiberglass in a ski up to 40%. And since there is a lot of glass in a ski, this makes a big difference.
SAME STRENGTH – The hollow fiber has both a higher
compression strength and a higher specific strength than any solid fiber. This makes hollow fibers at least as strong as conventional, full fibers.
MORE AGILITY – The combination of lighter weight and increased strength in Hollow Glass fibers results in more resilience and agility of the ski. Hollow glass fibers are more responsive and faster in both absorbing and transmitting energy to and from the edge of your skis.

Dilettante chocolate covered dragee candies use fruits and nuts. Chocolate covered fruits and nuts are chocolate covered candy free from compound coating and only use the highest quality chocolate. These dragees are the chocolate connoisseur's ultimate snack.
Here at Dilettante, third-generation Master Chocolatier Dana Taylor Davenport uses master formulas that are selected from the notebooks of Dana's grandfather, Earl Remington Davenport and his great-uncle, Julius Rudolph Franzen, Master Chocolatier and Pastry Chef to the crowned heads of Europe.
