I see all types of claims for every supplement and vitamin under the sun.
What are the basic vitamins that one should take when actively working out (cardio and weights) to help stay healthy.

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If you eat a balanced diet rich with fruits and vegetables you probably don't even need a multivitamin or other supplements. Recently there even has been controversy on the safety of multivitamins in general.
I personally take a multi-vitamin, 2-3 mgs of fish oil a day, and 3000-5000iu vitamin D. I occasionally supplement with an electrolytes drink that contains vitamin C such as Emergen-C.
Overall, it will really vary from person to person. I don't get a lot of sun exposure which is why I take such a high dose of vitamin D, on the other hand, someone who works all day in the sun probably wouldn't even need to supplement it.
At the end, supplements will never replace real food. A lot of them don't really do anything, some have a minor effect, but at the end what matters a lot more is your actual lifestyle.
There are very few evidence based benefits for taking vitamin supplements other than for diagnosed deficiencies. The one with probable benefits is vitamin D depending on how much you spend time in the sun. I live in Scandinavia so I take 400-800iu per day. In general moderately balanced diet should be enough to get pretty much all the required vitamins.
I take vitamin b-complex to help me out during weightlifting and running.
Before I started taking this, whenever I go to the gym in a lazy mode, I really lack the energy to complete my sets.
After starting taking this vitamin b-complex, even when I in a lazy mode, when I start lifting, there is a surge of energy where I pull from, its even hard to deplete all of the energy as it would require me to work hard for me to feel tired. I really observed the big difference. In my opinion, this is better than taking coffee, as drinking it in the evening (I work out at 7pm) wouldn't let me sleep and sometimes gives me palpitations. I also take this when I am REALLY stressed out at work and it relieves me. Lastly, from what I understand since this is water-soluble, it is not as harmful compared to fat-based vitamins.
This article gives you some idea.
Stay away from antioxidant vitamins, at least C and E. There is a study from 2009, suggesting that vitamin C and E supplementation negate some of the beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity of exercise. Also linked from that post is another paper showing that vitamin C supplementation decreases endurance gains from exercise.

I'm planning to build an electric motor for fun (not for any practical purpose). I recently purchased a shapeoko CNC mill kit and intend to manufacture most of the parts housing, stator etc. I'm currently in the planning stage and would like to plan/build this intelligently vs trial and error.
Goals move 200lb (including the motors) at about 5-10mph (faster end of that if possible)
- How do you calculate the torque/hp that a motor will produce?
- If I put 4 smaller motors (instead of 1 powering the entire drive train) on the job can each produce less torque/hp and still achieve my goals?
I understand the basics of building an electric brushless motor, I'm more interested on how to plan a motor for a specific output.
After some more research it seems that
1 HP = 745.699872 watts
so to move 200lb at 5 mph
- I need a
0.0019511579888525 horsepowermotor.
- I need to provide
1.4549782617235 wattsto the motor.
AND to move 200lb at 10mph
- I need a
0.01560926391082 horsepowermotor.
- I need to provide
11.639826093788 wattsto the motor.
I still need to figure out how Question 2 factors into my calculations.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Technically WordPress theme is combination of PHP, HTML, CSS and JS (or some subset of these). There isn't such thing as WP theme editor, but any editor or IDE that is good for such combination will do. It depends on your personal preferences, operating system and if you want free or paid solution.
See this questions for many good software suggestions - Software for WordPress Theme and Plugin Development?
I prefer Kate when I'm in Linux, and Notepad++ when I'm unfortunate enough to be using Windows.

This is a really great deal on these blades
9 Comments add a comment
In for 2 sets, thanks!
They're ALWAYS out of 26" blades! Aaugh!
I've yet to find a blade better than the dealer/manufacturer blades. I've tried everything. I won't ever use anything but Toyota blades on my Corolla.
So-so reviews leading me to probably not follow through, decent deal if you know they work for your application, though.
Living in hot, steamy (in the Summer, of course) East Texas, no wiper blades last very long. $15 for a set is pretty good. In for one set.
Thanks for the tip!
I need some winter blades. I would try these out, but unfortunately, new cars have stupid sized blades and my Hyundai has 28"/14" combo. They have the 28", but no 14". I realize it doesn't matter, but the OCD in me requires matching sets.
@retom7: In many vehicles, you can usually go up an inch or two in size on either blade.
Check your 14" blade path. If you have at least half an inch clearance on either side of the blade, you can safely install a wiper at least an inch larger.
My Envoy calls for a 22" and a 16" blade. I currently have a 22" and an 18" installed with no side effect at all, other than 2" of increased coverage on my windshield, now.
No matter which length of blades you choose, they end up being $15.
In for a pair to give them a shot. Time to replace the same set of blades I've been using for the past more-years-than-I-can-remember, haha.
@umpopa: I know what you mean. It seems like no matter how much I spend on "good" blades, they're shot by the next winter. I usually just go with the cheapest ones I can find now.

I am aware that the New Testament often quotes from the Hebrew Bible. However, I'm interested to learn whether or not it ever quotes - or alludes to - non-Hebrew / extrabiblical literature?
Sign up

Jesus Himself quoted non-biblical sources. He quoted (loosely, I presume) a popular, Farmer's Almanac-type saying when He said,
The saying I learned when I was a child was
Jesus also "agreed" with His contemporary critics of Roman rule when He referred to Herod as a fox (Lk 13:32), since Herod was considered by many to be as subtle as a fox, and noted for his craft, and treachery, and baseness.
Jesus quoted a proverb (from a source that is unknown) in the following verse:
"Doctor, heal yourself" was a proverb in use with the Jews and which is sometimes expressed thus, (Kvpn yoa lyz), "go heal thyself," and sometimes in this form, (Ktrgx yoa ayoa), "physician, heal thy lameness."
Jesus then followed up this proverb with another proverb in verse 24:
As an aside, this proverb and the two subsequent illustrations Jesus gave his audience in the synagogue in Nazareth (His hometown) really riled them up, to the point where they were about to throw Jesus off a cliff to get rid of Him.
Paul quoted secular poets in his Sermon on Mars Hill,
Regarding Paul's quotation of the Greek poets, here is what Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible has to say in this regard (with minor punctuation changes):
I suggest it is possible that during his quiet retreat at Tarsus (see Acts 9:30), Paul gave himself to the study of Greek literature, which given his calling as an apostle to the Gentiles may have been conscripted to be used as fodder for future sermons.
Hence, Paul quoted Aratus and other Greek poets and playwrights, as he did in 1 Corinthians 15:33, where we read,
This quotation came from the Athenian writer Menander in his play Thais. Menander lived from 343-291 B.C. and was famous for his comedies. Interestingly, Paul's hometown, the port city of Tarsus in Cilicia was widely known for its vice. Avoiding bad company, then, a notion which may have originated in Stoic philosophy, was to Paul a wise piece of counsel. He may have in fact admired the positive elements of Stoic morality, with its emphasis on self-control and actions based on reason and rationality rather than emotion and a "feels good" ethic. See also Titus 1:10-13, which says,
Also from Paul in the book of Acts comes the following:
The phrase "kick against the pricks" "comes from Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.), Agamemnon, line 1624--or lines 2341 & 2342 at (see Stewart Custer, Witness to Christ, BJU Press, p.164). We do not readily think of the risen Christ quoting a Greek playwright (in Hebrew, no less!), but since Paul's educational background likely included the study of the "Greek classics," Jesus used Paul's familiarity with the work of Aeschylus to reveal to Paul the futility of resisting His grace.
"The pricks" were the jabs the farmer gave the ox that was plowing a field whenever the animal would "rebel" by refusing to do its job. The farmer would take a goad, a sharpened implement of some sort, and jab/prick the ox to get its attention! The animal would soon get the point (pun intended) and not take as many rest breaks thereafter. Paul, like a stubborn ox, was only hurting himself with his stubborn resistance to "the Way" (for "the Way," see Acts 9:2; 19:9,23; 24:14,22). Just as an ox might kick at the goads to no avail, Saul, too, by kicking back at God by hurting His saints, the followers of Christ, was hurting only himself!
Wikis, above, has already mentioned Paul's quoting of Epimenides and Menander in Titus 1:12 and 1 Corinthians 15:33.
So-called "higher critics" like to insist that when Jude (vss.14,15) quoted Enoch (see Ge 5:18-24 and 1 Ch 1:1,2), he was quoting a non-biblical book: either "The Book of Enoch" or "The Apocalypse of Enoch." This insistence is not necessarily warranted. Jude was free, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to quote (or quote from) Enoch's prophecy as it had been handed down over the centuries as part of Jewish oral history, and this oral tradition may have preceded "The Book of Enoch" by hundreds of years (look here for the words in question).
"All truth is God's truth, wherever it may be found." While there are not many quotations of non-biblical sources in the Judeo-Christian Scriptures, the quotations we do find in both testaments contain and/or underscore a truth or even a truism that bears the stamp of divine approval.
As many biblical scholars have observed--and this is particularly apropos a biblical hermeneutics site, the God-breathed nature of the Word of God in no way conflicts with the "human" or "secular" elements contained in it. God did not ignore or set aside the obviously human factors at work in the process of inspiration, such as the authors'
In conclusion, there are many skeins in the fabric of Scripture. Some of them--a few of which I've listed above--are related to the individual authors. The more-important threads concern the central theme of the Scriptures (viz., the revelation of the personhood of God and His plan of salvation for the human race) and its many other themes. The more we see and understand both kinds of threads, the sounder and more coherent our hermeneutic will be, provided we rely on the same Holy Spirit who inspired all of Scripture (2 Ti 3:16,17).
"Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth" (Jn 17:17).
Yes. Titus 1:12:
The footnote in the NIV says, "From the Cretan philosopher Epimenides".
Researching Epimenides led me to Non-canonical books referenced in the Bible which also mentions 1 Corinthians 15:33:
Here the NIV footnote says, "From the Greek poet Menander"
Acts of the Apostles has an unattributed quote from the ancient play, the Bacchae by Euripides (d. 406 BCE): "It hurts you to kick against the goad[or 'pricks']" (Acts 26:14). That this short passage is not a coincidence can be established because the situation and context are the same, and Acts even has Jesus using the same plural form of the noun (kentra) that Euripides needs for the metre of his line.
The story of Paul's escape from prison has reasonably close parallels to words in the play - Acts 16:26: "... and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's fetters were unfastened;" Bacchae:"The chains on their legs snapped apart by themselves. Untouched by any human hand, the doors swung wide, opening of their own accord."
Not a writer but a (however windy) speaker and (unsuccessful to say the least) comforter:
Eliphas of Teman (against Job, same book 16:3).
Even though part of scripture, still it is pagan, even uninspired, but written it is. (The saying there, not the writing down.):
'He catches the wise in their own craftiness' (Job 5:13).
Paul still esteems him, rather the word, worth quoting 'as it is written' in 1Cor 3: 19:
'He catches the wise in their own craftiness'.

I found two but they are to be purchased and not free.
nciku.com has images for many of its entries (not the majority by any means, but most common nouns have images). There's also a 'theme words' section where all of the entries have images, categorised by subject (e.g. food, sports, clothing etc)
The Yale Picture Dictionary has a version for Chinese. This is a small dictionary for learners. It has basic words organized into categories (such as colours, animals, etc.). This is a dictionary to find new words to learn, not a dictionary to look up things in.
I have not used the Chinese version much (yet!), but I did use the Greek version extensively in the past and found it quite useful as a beginner. It is designed in a way so you can also use it in a similar way to flashcards ("do I remember what to call this thing in this picture")?
There is a similar illustrated vocabulary collection at LanguageGuide.org, just suggested to me by a friend. I have not used this (yet).

When asking for something I seem to hear sentences end in both ください (kudasai) and お願いします (onegaishimasu). Is there a difference and how do I know when to use which?
Sign up

Here there's a nice explanation, but I'll quote it here for easy reference, with some additional info:
ください and お願いします are both used when making a request.
The main difference is that onegaishimasu assume some action/favor by the other person. It's also a meaning of "I trust this to you".
ください Kudasai (and the more familiar chodai ちょうだい) it's used when you did a request you are entitled to do. You want something or you want someone of same/lower status to do something for you (verb-te+kudasai).
To add to the answers, it's also a directional thing.
下さい is 尊敬語 for くれる, you are asking someone to do something in an honorific way. This is oriented to be polite toward the person you are asking to do something.
お願いします is 謙譲語 for 願う, you are humbly making a request for yourself. This is oriented to be humble about the request you are making.
"More polite" is determined entirely by the situation. This article gives some crazy examples of how mucked up this can all get. If you are working in a shop, using ください is more polite than お~します, and whatever you do don't use 謙譲語 to refer to a customer's actions (that's just bad form).
(Emphasis mine)
If someone offers to do something for you, using お願いします to accept is the proper response. Otherwise they are (generally) interchangeable for day-to-day life.
I just asked my sensei only this evening at my Japanese converstaion class. He explain me that ください is less formal and used with '-て' verbs, but お願いします implies favour involved (and is more formal).
I am not good at english just think about casually yourself
Japanese people are called manners important virtue . It expresses in words . i think you knows, two expressions of differences to the through next view
WHEN USING kudasai CASE, (when ordering your friends; a close acquaintanceship )
SIMILAR expression in enligsh : Water please
Onegaisimasu case, (when ordering not your friends and the others; stranger or one's elder)
SIMILAR expression in enligsh : Would you Give me a cup of water please.
I think that two case of differences is politeness level are different.

I have workstation with 160GB HDD capacity.
I have partitioned it with:
- 40GB -- for OS(Ubuntu) Installation
- 40GB -- for my personal data, and
- 80GB -- for all other (public) data.
I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 on 1st partition.
Confusion : How can i make 2nd partition (Personal data) visible and accessible to me (and root, of course) only.
All other programs and files need to be accessed by all the users, but those 40GB must be accessible to me (my account) and root.
How can I achieve this (or some alternate)?
Note : If referring to any link, then make sure it's easy to understand as I am very (very) new to Ubuntu.

I just watched UK-TUG 2012 - TeX Gyre Math report, and it wasn't clear to me if the characters of existing fonts are being adapted to the OTF formats, or if all-new glyphs are being created. For example, one of the fonts being worked on is Times, via TeX Gyre Termes (Nimbus Roman No9 L). Are the new math characters brand new, or they adapted from some other source, such as mathptmx (URW Nimbus Roman)?
The glyphs being created are new. The 'text' part of the TeX Gyre font project (completed some time ago) focussed on the glyphs derived from URW's fonts, but this only covers 'text mode' requirements. The current work is focussed on math mode glyphs, and these are not 'already available'. As such, the project involves a lot of new work on glyphs (there is other work on how to actually construct Unicode math fonts at all!).
It's worth noting that existing bundles such as

Mining Woes Snag Financial Firms
TORONTO—Far from any mine shaft, the legions of bankers, consultants and lawyers who benefited from a decadelong commodities boom are now preparing to retrench as the market weakens.
Global mining capitals such as Toronto, Johannesburg and London all flourished amid lofty prices in recent years for everything from gold and copper to potash. Mining companies have tended to flock to a handful of cities to list their shares, set up headquarters and raise cash.
But over the past year, the sector has been hit by a triple whammy of falling prices, still-rising costs and waning investor interest. Most mined commodities have fallen sharply since their 2011 highs. Gold is 23% off its highs, and copper closed at an 18-month low Wednesday. Gold has fallen 14% since the start of this year to $1,446 a troy ounce.
As a result, some of the world's biggest miners are slashing outlays, shedding assets they bought at the top of the market just a few years ago, and shaking up management teams that spearheaded several years' of frenetic deal making and fundraising.
That is having a spillover effect on the industries servicing miners. Bankers and brokers involved in the sector are starting to see revenue dry up, and some are already shedding staff.
At Royal Bank of Canada, the largest bank in Canada by assets, capital-markets revenue in Canada fell by 16% year-on-year in the first quarter, with investment banking co-head Doug McGregor singling out the mining sector.
"It's a little quiet in Canada," he said on a conference call.
Bank of Montreal BMO 0.55 % recently laid off four senior bankers who serviced the potash industry, amid a broader mining-sector streamlining at the bank. A host of smaller brokers in Toronto have let go of mining analysts.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia CBAUY 0.00 % estimates the mining slowdown will shave as much as 9% off net profit at Australia's banks this fiscal year.
Commodities prices are volatile, and the industries that service miners are used to ups and downs. During the last big decline, in 2008 and 2009, miners cut exploration budgets by 40%. The next year they increased them by 40% as conditions improved, according to researcher Metals Economics Group.
So far, 2013 isn't looking pretty. Year-to-date, there have been just 442 mining deals globally, valued at $20.5 billion, according to Dealogic. That compares with 641 deals worth $75 billion in the same period last year.
For the first time in a decade, Toronto this year didn't host a single mining initial public offering in the first quarter—there were 12 IPOs in the first quarter last year, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers. There has been just one bond issue from a Canadian miner so far in 2013, compared with six in the same period last year, according to Dealogic.
Toronto is especially vulnerable to the downturn. Mining firms make up almost a fifth of the local exchange's market capitalization, and the city has become a magnet for smaller companies, which can be more-acutely affected by the volatility of the commodities cycle.
The city weathered a reputational hit more than a decade ago after the implosion of Bre-X Minerals Ltd., a Canadian-listed mining giant plagued by fraud at its Indonesian gold mine. And most of Canada's large mining companies have been picked off over the years by global giants.
Still, Toronto has maintained its position as a hub for fundraising by mid- and small-cap companies. That makes mining a rich vein for the city's large banks, smaller investment boutiques and brokerages when times are good—but a liability when they aren't.
Last week, Toronto based broker Fraser Mackenzie Holdings Inc. closed its doors, citing in part the mining slowdown. "If you are a small independent dealer and your primary focus is resources, or has been, then the prospects of making revenue are extremely limited," Mark Polubiec, Fraser Mackenzie's chief executive, said. Fraser Mackenzie generated about 60% of its profit from the mining sector.
At Toronto-based securities firm Loewen, Ondaatje, McCutcheon Ltd., about half the 40-year-old company's business derives from raising cash for small miners and trading their securities. The closely held company recently stopped trading shares for the general public as one means to save costs amid the downturn. "Profits have been elusive," said Chief Executive Garrett Herman.
Law firms also are girding for leaner times. "We'd be foolish to pretend that everything was going on as before," said Peter Villani, a lawyer who works in the global mining group of Toronto-based Fasken Martineau. His firm hasn't cut staff yet, but its bankruptcy specialist recently briefed Mr. Villani and his mining-focused colleagues about a potential slew of insolvencies, should commodities prices continue to sink.
Two years ago, Ray Préfontaine, chief financial officer of Toronto-listed King's Bay Gold Corp. KBG -5.56 % , went to the Toronto's Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada convention—one of the world's largest mining conferences—feeling good about prospects for his company. At this year's event last month, he was looking to sell the Ontario-based gold miner after financing dried up.
King's Bay last year had 200 brochures printed for the conference. This year, it made do with 50. To save money, Mr. Préfontaine said he shared a hotel room with a colleague. "There is just less money out there now."
Meanwhile, King's Bay has cut costs. The miner typically uses two or three outside engineering or geology consultants a year. This year, it won't hire any. It also has dropped its external investor-relations firm.
On the last Friday of every month, many of Toronto's mining executives, bankers and lawyers gather at downtown bar The Jason George. The evenings are increasingly demur events.
"We haven't seen champagne popped in some time," says Lisa Kitagawa, the bar's co-owner. "No more Martini lunches."

One way is to use the ssh escape character. By default this is "~", but it can be set manually with

Should I include or not the days a strategy has no open positions (thus no returns) in the Sharpe ratio calculation?
No, don't include them. Otherwise you'll just wind-up with zero-value returns (or worse, forward-filled returns), which will make your Sharpe ratio reflect a performance that didn't actually occur.
If you really think about the actual meaning of Sharpe ratios then you should come to the right conclusion yourself:
In that you obviously only want to calculate actual returns. You do not have any actual returns on days with no open positions. Hence, why would you want to include such days?
=> The core thought here is to only measure the nature of the returns not whether returns occurred or not.
Remember that Sharpe ratio includes a risk-free rate of return ("RFR").
Unless the RFR is zero, then excluding days when you have no position is not correct and will technically overstate your Sharpe ratio.
And if you're using a RFR of zero then what you're actually providing is the signal-to-noise ratio. (Although yes, I acknowledge that in recent years the RFR is practically zero. But that doesn't justify these other incorrect answers.)

I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread on this yet.
I'd lost track of the show a while back, so I was a bit lost at the beginning. But the first episode looked OK to me. The only problem is that, given the way dramatic TV in general works these days, I'm just wondering what unutterable tragedy will befall one of the characters before the mini-series is done.

Acceptance into College
Q: We are thinking about homeschooling our three children who are currently in second, third, and fifth grade. We have heard that some homeschoolers are accepted into good universities -- even Ivy league schools -- but we what do the majority end up doing? What percentage of homeschoolers applying to universities are accepted and what percentage are rejected?
A: Homeschoolers certainly are accepted and welcomed into colleges and universities. In fact, many highly selective colleges are recruiting their complement of homeschoolers.
I'm afraid it would be impossible to accurately compile the statistics you've requested. However, your children are still young and these statistics (from the U.S. Department of Education) may interest you. On average, homeschooled kids score one year ahead of their schooled peers on standardized tests. The longer the student homeschools, the wider this gap becomes. By the time homeschooled children are in the eighth grade, they test four years ahead of their schooled peers.
Of course, these results translate into better ACT (American College Test) scores. Research shows that high achievement on the ACT strongly indicates a greater likelihood of success in college. According to official ACT reports, homeschooled students repeatedly outperform publicly and privately educated students in the ACT assessment test. "What you can say about the homeschoolers is that homeschooled kids are well-prepared for college," says Kelley Hayden, a spokesman for ACT.

PxT Magazine - 12-15-2009, 05:29 PM
PxT Magazine » A Dolling Magazine!
Its a site that's really intended for handdrawn dollers, but everyone who does pixel work might find it intriguing.
Anyways, what it is is a dolling magazine that started fairly recently and covers topics that are relevant to dollers, problems in the community, and features dolls. If you haven't been connected to the community before, this is a good way to become familiar with it.
Today I browsed the whole "traced anime bases" personal opinion article and found myself agreeing with a lot of the points in it. I do openly admit to some serious traced base hate, though I'm not one of those people who bashes others. I just think its flat out theft and copyright infringement and find myself ashamed to think that places like deviantart allow them because of that. I also find myself having a difficult time reconciling these creations with dolling. Maybe its because I'm so old and have been in the scene for so long, but I can't redefine bases in my head to include them. They are line art to me, not dolls. I do think I am going to try to venture more into the dolling section on dA to try to encourage them to move away from traced bases(I know this is something we've all done, but it bothers me more today because its picked up in popularity and actually currently beats out the bases we are more familiar with).
Anyways, shall we discuss this month's issue? I noticed a feature on male dolls that I think people will find interesting
Av & Sig Credit: Me
I think the anime traces are talentless pieces of crud. Especially the ones who dare to call the ones that have CLOTHING AND HAIR ON THEM 'bases'. I've reported them up and left, and nothing is done.
I liked that article on prejudices; wish I could show that to the eejits that basically chased me off The Gathering. They've all left now though.
The one on male dolls isn't working, I keep getting a server error?
I stare at the girl in the mirror: T-shirt, torn up jeans, no beauty queen.
But the way that you see me, you get underneath me, and all my defenses just fall away, fall away.
I am beautiful with you, even in the darkest part of me. I am beautiful with you;
Make it feel the way it's supposed to be!
I disagree with their defence of toolshading, tho. While I admit that a proper doller will use toolshading in a very skillful and beautiful way on their dolls, there are far too many people using it in a hamfisted way purely out of laziness. Those people are the ones who need to be bashed, cuz they're giving the proper toolshaders a bad name. On other sites, I've seen some toolshaded dolls that obviously took a great deal of work and are commendable.
You should. I'm liking it already and its getting a lot of attention from dolling groups
I've reported them too and finally asked straight up what was up with it. Apparently, because they say they are bases, that means they are bases. It took all of my control to ask since when did 13 year old fangirls run dA because last thing I knew its adults who do. I even have reported straight up drawings that were comics or hamtaro colorings and they weren't moved because it is up to the artist to define their work. I understand the freedom, but there are basically no lines at this point in time anymore. I like pyro, but this site stance is bothering me immensely and I know she doesn't like them either.
I really liked that article too. It definately was a good idea considering its still an issue in the community. Everyone is afraid to break out for fear of being picked on. Lord help you if you aren't popular too because then everyone will jump on you.
That's sad. Hopefully you'll get to read it. I really liked it since I've been considering more attempts at male dolls. Have to really with the massive layout project I've got planned.
Av & Sig Credit: Me
I am acquainted with the owners
They have a chatroom on dA
I've done a few male dolls; blood-cocoa has some great male bases. Check my DA for them rather than digging thru my handdrawn thread. XD
I also find that there's a lot of snobbery within the community; just as there is in the artist community. I remember being attacked by this girl just cuz I'd said that her horse pictures needed work. She was so used to being lavished with praise by her group of sycophants, that any CC seemed to her as tho I was saying her mother was a hamster and her father smelled of elderberries. -.-
I agree with Miranda.
She had a picture that had proper proportions except the chest was too big (the rest of the body was in proportion with the head) and then everyone insisted that the head needed to be bigger to suit the chest--
But I said, no, wait a minute; everything else is in proportion, so why don't you just change the chest?
...They were pretty annoyed and against me, but GothikLollipop helped me out.
Another case, where the body is smaller than the head, and the style she's drawing in seems realistic.
I told her that the chest, body area needs to be larger --- people seem to be annoyed at me whenever I say anything CC like. They insisted that her artwork was fine, it was beautiful, and not to listen to me.
It's okay, though, as I know these types of people.
All you have to do is refuse to say anything mean.

I'd like to add an auxiliary audio input to my 2006 Honda Accord LX-SE:
- What parts do I need to purchase?
- Can someone with a rudimentary understanding of electronics perform the installation?
- What's involved in installing the parts from (1)?
I'd like to add an auxiliary audio input to my 2006 Honda Accord LX-SE:
There is almost certainly a genuine OE option available that you could purchase from a dealer and probably get them to fit as well. This would be worth looking into just so you know how much it would cost, it may not be super expensive, but my gut feel says it will be reasonably costly.
Or there are aftermarket options available. www.crutchfield.com has a pretty good web site where you can select the exact model car you are enquiring about and it will list compatible components for you. I entered the info you provided and it came up with an option for a "HON03-AUX" for $89USD which plugs in behind your stereo somewhere. Be aware that it does list quite a few caveats about its compatibility (such as "Factory radio must have CD changer controls"), so read carefully before ordering.
I just did this on a 2007 Accord SE.
I bought this adapter which plugs into a port in the back of the factory stereo. To access the port, you have to disassemble a small portion of your car's interior. Watch this for instructions.
Sound quality
The sound quality is reasonable, but not excellent. You can hear a subtle but constant background noise when your music is playing at low volumes. This ground loop isolator reduces that noise but does not eliminate it.
I also took it a step further and added this aux to bluetooth adapter. It has a microphone for phone calls and buttons for controlling music playback.
The entire installation took less than 2 hours. All of the electronics/adapters were just plug-n-play. Disassembling the dash without damaging/breaking the interior plastics was slightly challenging. This should work for 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 Accords that don't have the navigation package.
