Additionally, as a certified Reiki Master, therapeutic and/or educational sessions are also extended to those who may be inclined to alternative healing techniques.
*** Lesson Details ***
Sheer technique is necessary but insufficient to play an instrument well. Aural skills, that include the study of functional tonality and voice-leading are important factors that impart musicality. This is of great import if the prospective musician wants the audience to truly enjoy his or her performance !
Whether it be the 3 Rs or preparation in the performing arts, a remarkable instructor must go well beyond the subject matter at hand and help imbue the student with a spirit of wonder that, in due time, will foster enthusiasm necessary for excellence.
A child emulates and learns to communicate in his or her mother-tongue through a supporting and nurturing environment. Likewise, a student needs to be sufficiently motivated to embrace learning in a familiar supportive manner.
*** Studio Equipment ***
The In-Studio lesson take place in the living room. Driveway parking. No pets.
*** Travel Equipment ***
None; I do expect a reasonably good piano / keyboard at a student's home.
*** Specialties ***
Traditional and Suzuki-based education. Performance and musicality training is open to all instrumentalists.

CTDN encourages and facilitates networking amongst designers, creates awareness of the design industry and promotes the use of design in addressing economic and social challenges. CTDN envisions design in Cape Town to be recognised as a key enabler for improving lives.

Through collaboration and openly sharing information, ideas, resources and energy, CTDN aims to link Cape Town's fragmented design industry.
Design Storming is a weekend get-together that tackles issues of social significance to Cape Town's citizens. It uses design to bring people together, raise awareness and develop open-source ideas and interventions, which can serve as a catalyst for change.
The Design Storming model emphasises collaboration: it is not about creating new programmes, but rather about working with stakeholders to think of ideas that will result in improvements.
Design Dialogues is an evening event with stimulating speakers and cold beer. It's a platform for emerging creatives and industry thought leaders to network, interact, forge cross sector connections, and share knowledge and experience. Design Dialogues is grounded in Cape Town's unique context and covers topics that contribute to the growth, sustainability and general wellbeing of the creative industries.

other. Open Design Cape Town raises

My husband, on the other hand, is a potato chip addict. The brand that he loves most is "Lay's" potato chips. If they're in plain sight, they're gone in no time at all.
Cook's Country Magazine arrived, I began to eagerly read through all the of the recipes. I paused at the Potato Chip Cookie recipe, and read the article, and it didn't tickle my visual taste buds. Potato chips? I then passed on to reading the rest of the recipes looking for something else to make. My husband spotted the recipe, and exclaimed that they sounded "terrific"!
Husband: "Yes!" "Please?"
How can I say no?
I had to buy baked potato chips, though. I don't buy them otherwise, because I don't like the way they taste. I mean, if I'm going to indulge in chips, I'm going to buy the real deal. I figured that Cook's Country had a reason for listing reduced-fat chips, so I added that ingredient to my shopping list. Cook's Country says, "It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it: We fearlessly ate many batches of cookies baked with potato chips of every sort. In the end, we preferred reduced-fat chips in this recipe. Because of the extra oil, the edges of cookies made with ordinary fried chips get too dark before the cookie is fully baked. Also, some testers detected a disagreeable fried taste in cookies that were made with fried potato chips. "
The ingredients listing also includes flour, confectioners sugar, granulated sugar, butter, egg, vanilla and pecans.
A printable recipe card is at the end of this post.

Stolen Passports Used on Malaysia Airlines Flight Show Gaps in Air Security Around Globe
Investigation Shines Light on Thriving Market for Illicit Documents and Disparity in Aviation Security Around World
BANGKOK—The investigation into passengers aboard a missing Malaysia Airlines flight who were traveling with stolen passports has drawn attention to a thriving market for illicit documents and the disparity in aviation security across the globe.
Traveling to the U.S. and Europe using stolen passports is difficult because of widespread use of biometric travel documents and routine scanning of fingerprints and irises. But in Asia, an underground market in passports and lax checks at airports make it much easier to travel under...

In addition to our many science research grants, Autism Speaks is extremely proud to fund important new or expanding programs for individuals with autism.
In 2010 a $25,000 grant was awarded to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA. Entitled "DriveAdvise", the project entailed the development of a toolkit and an educational video to facilitate decisions about whether an individual with ASD might consider driving in the future.
The video focuses on interviews with a variety of stakeholder groups including ASD individuals, family members, healthcare providers, ASD community leaders and driving instructors who have had experience in helping ASD individuals become safe and licensed drivers. It provides an overview of the unique challenges that ASD individuals encounter when contemplating the decision to drive and aspects of cognitive, perceptual and emotional functions that should be probed in assessments regarding driving competence. The film also features stories of those who have chosen not to drive with emphasis on strategies they and their families have used to maintain independence. The toolkit (not yet completed) will include cognitive and perceptual tests that have been used in the driving literature to predict safe driving. Standard measures will include tasks of motor functions, visual attention, vigilance and speed of response. Novel assessment approaches will also be studied, such as the creation of a set of short video clips of different driving scenarios. The video clips will aid in the assessment about the individual's capacity to grapple with critical aspects of driving that involve "reading" the traffic environment and the nonverbal signals of pedestrians on sidewalks and crosswalks. The toolkit will also be featured in the educational video. Importantly, the educational materials and all outreach efforts will stress the critical importance of balancing safety with independence. For those individuals with ASD who remain non-drivers, materials from DriveAdvise will emphasize strategies for promoting maximum independence and self esteem that are not linked to driving.
Click here to learn more about DriveWise and DriveAdvise.
Our Family Services Community Grants focus on programs that address three areas of need: Education; Recreation and Community Activities; and Young Adult and Adult Services. Since 2007, we have awarded over $3.7 million for 172 grants across the country. In this section, we will highlight specifically those programs that serve young adults and adults on the spectrum. To learn more about all of the grants we've funded to date, please visit our Grants Database and search Family Services.

For the last 15 years, the Washington News Council has - unofficially, at least - attempted to hold local media outlets accountable and responsible, weighing in via public hearings over matters of ethics, accuracy and fairness. However, in a blog post uploaded yesterday, the nonprofit announced it will close its doors on May 31. According to the post, with the explosion of online journalism, the News Council's Board of Directors has decided a "complete reinvention" is needed.
"We had a great 15-year run, and we helped a lot of people who were damaged by media malpractice," John Hamer, who co-founded the WNC and serves as its Executive Director and Board President, is quoted as saying. Hamer announced his pending retirement in January, and while a search for his successor was undertaken, it ultimately led to the realization that more than just a replacement was called for.
"The news media have changed tectonically since we began," Hamer continues. "The eruption of online digital news and information made our mission of promoting high standards in journalism much more difficult, if not impossible. How can anyone oversee a cyber-tsunami?"
Apparently, the WNC's Board of Directors has decide it can't, but that's not to say a new version of the independent organization wont emerge. "The WNC process could be updated for the new digital media age," the press release notes.
"Our model was fine when we had only newspapers, TV and radio stations, and a few magazines. But now we get news and information online 24/7 in the palm of our hands. The public needs to find new ways to engage in media oversight and maybe take the news council concept to the next level," Hamer says in the post.
You can find the full announcement here, which includes a list of accomplishments.

Scooby Doo
The kids of Mystery, Inc. are reunited at a spooky amusement park/college hot spot on an island to figure out why college students are turning into zombies--and discover who the real villain is.
When watching Scooby-Doo cartoons on Saturday mornings, we never thought about what would happen if the crime solving group at Mystery, Inc. was to actually break up. Well, the unthinkable happens in this big-screen treatment as Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Velma (Linda Cardellini) decide to call it quits. They each believe they can solve mysteries on their own without each other's help. Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) and Scooby-Doo (that lovable, computer-generated Great Dane) are the ones left to carry on the name of Mystery, Inc. (and get to keep the psychedelic van), but they refuse to solve any cases associated with the word ''spooky.'' That is, until the owner (Rowan Atkinson) of an amusement park called Spooky Island, a favored hot spot for college spring breakers, calls upon the quartet to reunite and find out why the college students are leaving the island as well-behaved zombies. As far-fetched as things get, there are plenty of creepy goings-on to sufficiently freak Shaggy and Scooby out. Yet, all ends well as the gang happily remembers why it is they make such a super-duper, case-cracking team. As for the villain, those of us true Scooby fans will rejoice when he is revealed (mask and all) and gets his comeuppance.
When trying to bring beloved cartoon icons to life, the casting had better nail it right on the head. Luckily for Scooby-Doo, it does. Real-life couple Prinze and Gellar do a fine job as Fred and Daphne, and are given a little more to work with in the film than their animated counterparts were in the series. A terrible braggart, Fred is the handsome front man for the group while Daphne takes some self-defense lessons to move beyond the ''damsel-in-distress'' role. Most importantly, the two finally share a little lip-lock. (You always wanted them to on the cartoon show, but of course, it's a cartoon show--things like that don't happen.) It's Lillard as Shaggy and Cardellini as Velma, however, who truly hit it out of the park. Lillard has it all down--to the squeaky voice and the good-hearted hippie attitude, and Cardellini gets Velma's nasally, wisecracking retorts just right. As a bonus, these two find their own love interests as well. It makes sense when you think about it. The Mystery, Inc. gang are young and carefree--they deserve it.
Scooby isn't rocket science, folks. You know going in that it's going to be pretty outrageous most of the time, which it is. Yet, just in the way The Brady Bunch Movie worked by mimicking the TV show, the movie follows right along in the spirit of the original cartoon, so it becomes immediately comfortable. There were some reservations before the film came out, mainly in regards to how a computer-generated Scooby was going to hold up within a live-action movie. Interestingly, Scooby isn't really the star of the show like you might think, but rather just another integral part of the whole picture. He fits in just fine, but you have to have a great Shaggy to compliment him, which Lillard provides in spades. The real problem is that older fans might only be entertained by a few adult jokes (like the inference that drugs cause Shag and Scoob's endless hunger) and the fact that villain is a real surprise. This is really a film for the tween genre (8-12), with plenty of bathroom humor and slapstick comedy. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but knowing that Scooby has a fan base which covers a wide range, it would have been nice to have a few more in- jokes to make us adults fall out of our chairs--even if they went over the kids' heads at the same time.
Bottom Line
Scooby-Doo stays true to its cartoon roots, with the performances by the young cast nailing their animated counterparts to a tee. Yet, it is truly for the younger set, even if us old folks wanted a little more adult humor.

I adore, just adore reading your blog, it brightens up my day. So, have you ever heard of "Las Fallas" in Valencia, Spain? Well, during this typical Valencian party there are churro stands all over the city, along with buñuelos (the best are made with pumpkin) they are traditionally dipped in a cup of chocolate (and by that, i mean pure chocolate) if your not a fan, you should for sure try 'horchata' a sweet and milky drink made from tiger nuts.
happy friday!

A Slippery Dilemma
Will donating money, hair, or time really help clean up the BP oil spill?
Dear My Goodness,
It seems to me I should be donating money in response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The nonprofits that are cleaning animals are obvious choices, but I was thinking more about the people who are suffering economically from the disaster—fishing families, for example. But I am having trouble wading through the options. Also, should I boycott BP? Doesn't that harm our local businesses?
—Virginia in Atlanta
I have long red hair and have donated about 3 feet of it to Locks of Love in the past 10 years. I'm getting ready for a haircut and wonder if I could donate it to make booms to soak up oil.
—Katherine in Tucson
I hate the photos of the pelicans covered in oil. What can I do? I'm willing to take off from work and rescue birds.
—Tamara in Santa Monica, Calif.
Dear Virginia, Katherine, and Tamara,
My Goodness has received many letters like yours from people wishing to respond in some personal way—with money, volunteer hours, or their hair. Unfortunately there seems to be no single volunteer clearinghouse to harness these good impulses efficiently. The Coast Guard and BP have authority, with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and environmental groups focusing on bird and animal rescue. Unfortunately, there's no spill volunteer czar, but here are some suggestions to help sort out what is helpful and what is not.
Your local church or service organization may have a sister group in an affected Gulf city—and that's a great place to start looking for a home for your charitable dollars. Virginia, bless her, wrote back that she'd just learned her church's relief agency was working in affected communities, and she gave to it.
As to whether to boycott BP, there is an organized movement, complete with a Facebook presence. Boycotts sometimes work, but it's worth noting that the BP station on the corner is a franchise owned by a local businessperson, who will absorb the initial effect. A brilliant column by Sharon Begley explored whether it's really so great to pass by BP and give your dollars to Exxon or any other oil company. If you want to punish the whole industry, stop driving.
Altruistic gifts of hair are a great American tradition. Jo, the protagonist in Little Women, cut off her chestnut locks—"her one beauty"—to pay for her mother's trip to visit Father March in a Civil War hospital. More recently and nonfictionally, Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher donated a year's worth of hair to be made into wigs for women who'd lost their hair during cancer chemotherapy (this in memory of the grandmother who raised him).
But don't send your red hair, Katherine.
Darn, the hair donation was such an appealingly concrete idea, the gift of a very visible renewable resource. A short style and closely trimmed pets would have been symbols of solidarity with the pelicans and sea turtles. A San Francisco-based environmental group, Matter of Trust, was ready with a wide-reaching hair-collecting system.
Unfortunately BP and the Coast Guard were immune to the sentimental and literary reverberations and said no thanks. They say they have no shortage of the commercially made absorbent booms. When Matter of Trust finds more warehouse space, they will be looking for hair for future spills. It looks as though it works well at separating oil from water.
The impulse to rescue a bird is similarly admirable, but Audubon's media director, Delta Willis, said "everybody thinks they can go down and grab a pelican, and that's just not the case." Cleaning birds is difficult work, requiring experience to avoid injuring yourself or the wild creatures. The people you see in news photos cleaning birds are likely to be veterinarians, vet techs, and licensed wildlife rehabilitators.
The sad fact is that there aren't hundreds of thousands of water birds waiting for their dose of Dawn. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is doing its best to count birds collected, dead and alive; according to them, the totals since the spill are in the thousands, not hundreds of thousands. No one knows how many have died on the water and sunk uncounted. "There are more volunteers than there are roles to be filled," said Melanie Driscoll, Audubon's director of bird conservation in Louisiana. Since early in the spill, Audubon has had volunteers making nets to corral affected birds, chopping up smelly fish to feed them, and patrolling beaches to call in reports of dead or ailing birds. Audubon volunteer teams help Fish and Wildlife by working dockside shifts to coordinate transport of oiled and injured birds. Birders have been recruited to identify the most fragile coastal areas to protect habitat and nesting areas.
Tamara, note that the Audubon Society and the bird cleanup professionals say they could definitely use volunteers willing to do more mundane chores like answering phones. "But it's not helpful to have people just show up," Driscoll said, "The habitats are stressed. The communities are stressed. Get on the rolls and wait to be called."
The environmental groups are of course grateful for the sudden rush of generosity. After the headlines fade, Audubon and others will continue their long-term work on the health of the Gulf. The best thing you can do for a brown pelican is to preserve the habitat that supports it.
Human beings have an altruistic impulse in response to disasters. After the 1995 Oklahoma City bomb blast, people lined up at blood centers in far-away U.S. cities to give to victims. The afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001, thousands of New Yorkers waited hours to donate blood that was never used. (There were many dead, and, sadly, not so many injured and in need of blood.) Blood bank managers pleaded with donors to come back in a year, to come back every year. In the same way, the environmental groups would like you to sign on for the long haul.

No special tricks. Just run. Keep moving. Eat some big pasta the night before. And breathe.
Take in the view at the top
Tread wisely on the ice
Follow strong and disciplined examples
Dont be afraid to get a lot dirty
Keep those who support you whole-heartedly close
And enjoy it!
That may have been my last long distance race (though I don't make any promises) yet somehow the same "how to" seems to apply generally.

TORONTO – James Reimer began to wonder if the Toronto Maple Leafs could hold on and shut out the Washington Capitals.
It didn't matter that they were being drastically outshot. When Alex Ovechkin scored late in the third period, Reimer tried to keep the negative thoughts from getting to him.
"You kind of tell 'em to screw off and just keep focus on the puck," Reimer said. "You can't focus on the bad things or the negative things. All you can do is make that next save."
Reimer did that again and again as the Leafs gave up 50 shots but beat the Capitals 2-1 in a shootout Saturday night at Air Canada Centre. James van Riemsdyk and Joffrey Lupul scored in the shootout to give Toronto (14-8-1) its third victory in four games.
Being outshot and winning has become a familiar refrain for the Leafs, but this one was about quality over quantity as far as what Reimer faced.
"Honestly it was more of them just throwing pucks at the net from everywhere," said Reimer, who made 49 saves and then stopped three of four in the shootout. "Our team did a great job of keeping the shots to the outside, and I just tried my best to control them. When I left some out there, obviously they were there to back me up."
Reimer naturally watched the shots pile up. Leafs coach Randy Carlyle pointed to back-to-back Washington power plays in the second period as the time the shot differential became so lopsided, but even considering that his team was out-shot 40-26 at even strength.
The 50 shots were a season high for the Capitals (12-10-2), as well as a season-high allowed by the Leafs.
"I think any time you get outshot, you look at it," said winger David Clarkson, who scored Toronto's only goal of the night on the power play in the second period. "But there was also a lot of good things we were doing. There's always things you can improve on, there's things you can get better at. But the big thing is finding a way to win, and right now we're doing that."
It doesn't mean the Leafs were proud to be outshot 50-28, despite keeping so many of the Capitals' attempts to the outside.
"Regardless of the quality of the shots, we're never going to tell you that we want to give up 50," said defenceman Mark Fraser, who returned to the lineup after missing two games with an aggravated knee injury. "That's probably a few too many for us to be happy with. But it was just nice that we could keep it off the scoreboard. Obviously Reims had a lot to do with that."
Reimer was in the zone, something defenceman Morgan Rielly said the 19,473 fans in the building could all notice. Carlyle was satisfied that his goaltender kept the Leafs in the game as Braden Holtby (27 saves) was brilliant at the other end.
"When you get into situations like tonight it was one where we needed the save and he continued to make them," Carlyle said of Reimer. "It's a credit to him."
Reimer might just be starting to get the credit he deserves for his play this season. With his performance against the Capitals, he raised his save percentage to an NHL-best .947.
Even in the glow of an emotional shootout win that included stops on all-stars Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom, Reimer wasn't making too much of the save-percentage accomplishment.
"Obviously I believe in my ability and in my skill," Reimer said. "I try and work hard every day to be the best I can. Stats are stats. I think you could arguably say that (Henrik) Lundqvist was the best goalie in the league, and I don't know where he is in save-percentage stats.
"It means something but it doesn't mean everything, that's for sure. It's cool to be up there, but at the same time the most important thing is playing the best for your teammates. So whether that's a .915 save or a .940—whatever gets the job done."
Reimer and the Leafs got the job done for much of the night against Ovechkin, who was held to three shots before tying the score at one at the 15:50 mark of the third period. On his fourth shot, Washington's captain fired a bouncing puck past Reimer for his league-leading 20th goal of the year.
"Lucky bounce, puck kind of stop and I have opportunity to shoot it and it goes in," said Ovechkin, who became just the third active player to put up at least 20 goals in each of his first nine NHL seasons.
Capitals coach Adam Oates didn't believe the Leafs did anything "extra well" to shut down Ovechkin. He and Ovechkin expected the match-up with Toronto captain Dion Phaneuf.
It was on the penalty kill that the Leafs zeroed in on stopping Ovechkin. Carlyle said they changed their structure to take away Ovechkin's shot, and it worked as the Capitals went 0 for 3 on the power play.
"On power play they put me in one position, they take me away but we don't use it," Ovechkin said. "It's blame on us of course."
No one was really to blame for a fluke injury to ex-Leafs centre Mikhail Grabovski late in the second when he suffered two cuts on the right side of his face after was sliced by Clarkson's skate while falling to the ice. Grabovski was booed by the crowd for laying on the ice after getting cut and skating off quickly following a whistle, but there was a copious amount of blood coming from his face that fans did not see.
Grabovski needed 20 stitches but returned to the game early in the third. He said the play was his fault because he held on to the puck too long.
Ovechkin called Grabovski a "warrior" for returning. His coach agreed.
"Pretty scary play, actually," Oates said. "He came back, and he played a great game."
It was Grabovski's first game back in Toronto since the Leafs bought him out over the summer. He had two shots in 16:18 of ice time.
In his 18:38, Clarkson had a far bigger influence on the game. His second goal of the season was a perfect redirection of defenceman Jake Gardiner's point shot on the power play, and he did his job of getting under the skin of Capitals players all night.
Offensively, he was buzzing alongside linemates Lupul and Nazem Kadri well before scoring on the power play. Clarkson wondered as he had for the previous five or six games if he'd be rewarded.
"When you're getting chances as a player or as a line or as a team it's bound to finally go in for you," he said. "Biggest thing is us winning. Whether you score or not, it doesn't matter who's putting it in the net, when you win that's all that matters."
NOTES – Toronto defenceman Paul Ranger was made a healthy scratch as Fraser returned to the lineup. Ranger had played all 22 games going in and had one goal, five assists and a plus-4 rating. … Martin Erat was scratched for Washington in favour of Eric Fehr, who took the penalty that set up Clarkson's goal.

In this age of Instagram, Mason jars and handlebar mustaches, it's no surprise that retro-inspired bars are hot again. Chicago's been hooked on craft cocktails since The Violet Hour opened in 2007, and many craft cocktail bars draw recipes from historic sources. Prohibition-era speakeasies and "Mad Men"-esque drinks have been the reigning styles for the past several years, but a new wave of bars expands the flashback to include the late 1930s tiki craze, 1970s glamour and even decades as recent as the early 1990s. The trend shows no signs of losing steam. And why should it, when everyone knows a history lesson goes down easier with a stiff drink in hand? Hop in our time machine as we explore a by-the-decade guide to some of the notable openings from the recent past.

Smithonia National Register Historic District
Lexington, GA 30648
Smithonia was the home of James Monroe Smith, one of Georgia's most successful and innovative farmers. In 1866, Smith and a partner purchased 1,000 acres of worn out farmland in northern Oglethorpe County and, through improved farming methods and experimentation, multiplied this fortune and acreage. He raised 500 to 700 head of cattle and built brick warehouses to hold 4,000 bales of cotton until market prices were in his favor. By the 1890s, he built the first cotton seed oil mill in Oglethrope County, and after constructing the Smithonia & Dunlap Railroad, the Atlanta Journal observed that, "Within the limits of his plantation, he has established a little world of his own and it is seldom he goes to market to purchase even the common necessities of life." Smith's empire grew to more than 200,000 acres and 500 buildings, employing 1,000 to 3,000; one of the largest farms in the state.

Goal-Driven Learning: Fundamental Issues: A Symposium Report
In AI, psychology, and education, a growing body of research supports the view that learning is a goal-directed process. Psychological experiments show that people with varying goals process information differently, studies in education show that goals have a strong effect on what students learn, and functional arguments in machine learning support the necessity of goal-based focusing of learner effort. At the Fourteenth Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society, a symposium brought together researchers in AI, psychology, and education to discuss goal-driven learning. This article presents the fundamental points illuminated at the symposium, placing them in the context of open questions and current research directions in goal-driven learning.

Post subject:
To get an artist, you need to demonstrate that you are a writer worth working with. It is easy to claim to be a writer, harder to show that you're a good one - harder, in fact, to tell for yourself if you're good than it is for an artist to know if they are any good.
At the moment, you've not demonstrated that you're a good writer. Sorry, but that is just the case. You've not used a single capital letter in the whole post; your spelling and grammar, though certainly not nearly as bad as I have seen, leave something to be desired; and much of the post lacks punctuation.
If you want to demonstrate your skill as a writer, there are several things you could do:
1. Post a link to a comic you've already worked on. This not only demonstrates your writing ability, but also demonstrates that you have an existing audience, meaning the comic you want to start will begin with an initial audience predisposed in your favour. Of course, many writers looking for artists don't have that already.
2. Post a section of your script. A page or two of script should suffice. This shows the potential artist reading your post that you know how to write scripts, and allows them to judge for themselves not only your ability, but also whether they could work with you - some artists prefer to have detailed descriptions of what they are to draw, while others prefer to have greater creative freedom, and draw the action under their own initiative. So the amount of detail you go into in the script will let potential artists know if your approaches work well together.
3. Post a link to something else you have written, such as a short story or fanfiction, poetry, or an article. This will let the artist know if you can handle things like pacing, character development, sentence structure, etc. It's not as good as having some script to show them, but it will do something to demonstrate your ability as a writer.
4. Proof-read and check your post asking for an artist. By ensuring your post is properly punctuated, with correct spelling and grammar, you demonstrate that you know the rules of English and are capable of using it competently.
5. Develop your ideas in greater depth, and perhaps post fewer of them. What you've demonstrated so far is that you have some ideas, but when you've not even got a name for the main character, that doesn't say much about how well developed they are. An artist doesn't want to say they'll draw something, only to find there's nothing to draw yet. Plot out the story. Work out the characters. Write the first few pages of the script. Then, when you start communicating with the artist in private, over email or whatever, you can show them again why you're worth working with. Have enough of the story prepared that you can demonstrate your passion for it and inspire passion in the artist. Having the plot worked out in full, even if not in much detail, also allows the artist to see the end point, the desired destination, and gives them something to work towards, and an understanding of what you're trying to achieve.
I'll be honest. I don't think you'll find an artist from this post. But if you go and spend some time working through these issues, and then come back in a month or two or even six, having developed your ideas and improved the technical aspects of your writing, I think you will find it much easier to find an artist.
Good luck.

Eidos Montreal's Deus Ex prequel, Human Revolution, has sold 2.18m copies since its launch on September 30, Square Enix has reported.
Human Revolution sold 800,000 copies in North America and 1.38m in Europe, according to the publisher's mid-year financial report.
The well-received Dungeon Siege 3 has shifted 820,000 units, of which 480,000 were bought in Europe.
Another figure of note reveals that Square Enix has made ¥4.6 billon (£36.8m) from its web, social networking and smartphone content over the past 18 months.
Square Enix's net sales totalled ¥57.5bn over the six months between April and September this year, a 16 per cent drop from the same period in 2010. Net profits increased 118 per cent year-on-year, however.

Photographer Seth Olenick has a distinct eye for capturing funny people. His shots are so ubiquitous, you've probably seen them countless times: in magazines, on the Internet, movie posters, Twitter avatars—pretty much everywhere pictures are seen. Name a comedian, and Olenick has probably taken that person's photo. After a solid six years working on this project, Olenick is now putting together a book called Funny Business, capturing all the comedy Olenick has spied. There's a Kickstarter campaign going, and as fellow purveyors of the comedic arts, we urge you to donate and appreciate the tireless work of this comedy scene staple. Behold!

The Assurance of Salvation
In his second epistle, the apostle Peter exhorts his readers to make their calling and election sure by diligently pursuing the fruit of the Spirit. "For in this way," he writes, "there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (1:11).
In this series, Dr. R.C. Sproul addresses the importance of living in pursuit of holiness over against "easy believism." He explores the doctrine of assurance as he helps to explain the relationship between the Christian life and the work of Christ Jesus on our behalf, which leads to an assurance of salvation.

August 20th: 52,357 Roommates Available
I was amazed, and relieved to find this site to be so succesful. I was really in a jam when my previous arrangement fell through. I heard from a friend about the site, posted an add, and in one evening I had my pick. That's right, I got to choose whom I wanted to live with. It was like they were bidding for me, I got to choose someone that I am comfortable and compatable with. This move was almost a disaster, thankfully, Roommates.com threw me a life saver, and now I am floating with ease, right into a great home, friendship, and adventure. - Brookes
I have found roommates on your service on two separate occasions and am quite impressed. I recommend Roommates.com to everyone I meet. I can not even begin to describe what an asset this service has been to me. Thank you for providing such a wonderful service! - Erin

BRISTOL, Tenn. – King had a second straight strong shooting night in its 71-47 win over the Salem International University Tigers, Tuesday night. King was led by Allison Bosse's 14 points and Chelsea Bowling's first career double-double in the nonconference win inside the Student Center Complex.
King jumped out to an early 12-4 lead in the opening minutes of the contest and increased their lead to 11 near the 11-minute mark. Sophomore Chelsea Bowling opened the game up by hitting a three from the top of the key and was complimented by Alley Sprouse and Allison Bosse both hitting a pair of buckets. Salem International chipped away at the lead by backing King into the paint and capitalizing on a pair of layups by Amanda Jackson and Alicia Stebbins, opening up a three-point shot for Monique Hill to cut the lead to four points, 19-15.
The Lady Tornado rebuilt their lead behind a 50 percent night from the field in the first half, going 10-for-20. They took an eight point lead into the half, 30-22.
The offense continued to thrive out of the locker room when the Lady Tornado went on an 8-2 miniature run behind consecutive three pointers by Bonnie Durrett (West Paducah, Ky.), increasing their lead to 14. Kelly Jackson (Lynchburg, Va./Elon) added to the lead after stealing the ball away with 12:05 remaining and fought through contact on a jumper that fell. The junior converted a three-point play with a successful foul shot and put King up 48-32.
Newcomers Sara Mitchell (Brooklyn, N.Y.) and Stephanie Brantley (Pilot Mountain, N.C.) saw action late and continued to help the Lady Tornado put the game away near the nine-minute mark of the second half. Mitchell launched a three from beyond the arc to give King its first 20-point lead, 53-32. The freshman, Brantley, then followed on a missed SIU jumper and converted a layup on the fast break continuing to bulk up the King lead. Mitchell went on to score six more points, again striking from deep to hit King's largest lead margin of 28 points. They cruised on to defeat the Tigers, 71-47.
Chelsea Bowling (Elizabethon, Tenn.) recorded her first career double-double behind a 13-point, 10-rebound performance. She went 3-for-6 from the field and added six points from the charity stripe. Bowling also had four assists and three steals.
Leading all scorers on the day was senior Allison Bosse (LOCATION), who notched a season-high 14 points in 21 minutes off the bench. Bosse went 7-of-13 with seven rebounds while adding a pair of assists and steals.
Bonnie Durrett and Sara Mitchell were one point away from joining Bosse and Bowling in the double-digit scoring club, each tallying nine points on a combined 6-of-13 shooting from the field. Durrett scored all her points from beyond the arc, nailing 3-of-5 three-point tries.
King, now 4-2 overall with the win, will play Salem International (1-5) in a rematch on Dec. 18 in Salem, W.Va. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m. The Lady Tornado will jump back into conference play on Jan. 3 when they travel to Barton College.

Fuel Delivery Turns Upside Down
DERBY – A routine oil delivery at a home in Derby yesterday turned out to be anything but routine when the truck slid off a private driveway and tipped over.Derby Line Fire Chief Craig Ellam identified the driver as Paul Gervais of Irving Oil in Littleton, N.H. The Derby Line Fire Department responded to the scene around 11:22 a.m. Property owner David LaBelle arrived at his home, located on Route 111, just after the truck flipped over. LaBelle, who is on automatic oil delivery service, was not aware he would be getting an oil delivery and didn't prepare his driveway. Normally the driver would deliver oil if the driveway was clear. If it is not clear, the company notifies him of a pending delivery. "There were a couple of layers of snow and ice," LaBelle said of his driveway. The driver told him that he made it up fine but the truck slid as he started to leave. The driver, said LaBelle, went off the driveway to "save it" on the lawn. However, the truck sunk.There was just a trickle of oil and apparently none got on the lawn, LaBelle said. Firefighters were able to capture 99 percent of the 1,900 gallons that were on the truck. Fire Chief Craig Ellam said the rear of the truck sustained some sheet metal damage.Company officials declined to comment. A sand truck with the Town of Derby written on the door arrived to sand the driveway prior to crews removing the oil truck.Grenier's Truck Shop removed the truck from the scene. The company first towed the truck to its shop in Charleston and then to the Irving office in Littleton, N.H.


text: I'm on the fence with this product. There's an element with the Moto-Grip "passenger safety harness" that strikes you with one of those "now why didn't I think of that" moments. The idea is a simple harness that a rider wears, which provides hand grips on the rider's chest and back that a passenger can hold onto as they are performing their various pillion duties. Looking like one of those baby backpacks that helicopter parents employ to lug their child around in, the Moto-Grip is fairly straight-forward with its $179 design.
