How to Sell More Online for Father's Day
In terms of sales, Father's Day lags behind Mother's Day. One reason may be that Father's Day is sharing the limelight with graduation in the month of June, causing people to split their budget between presents for dads and grads. Mother's Day, on the other hand, has no competition in the month of May.
At online seminars and some Amazon marketplace shows, experts have shared expertise to help retailers boost their sales during occasions throughout the year.
Here is a summary of some of the top tips:
- Get your Father's Day merchandise listed – It's important to delineate what your Father's Day offerings are. Pertinent products include electronics, tools and appliances, clothing and accessories, sporting goods, etc.
- Remove basic buying barriers – There are certain things that prevent shoppers from buying Father's Day items online. Some buyers fear that they will not get their gifts on time. Others are looking for the deals that brick-and-mortar stores offer instead. Shoppers also fear that they may not be able to return their purchases if their dad does not like them. Addressing your customers concerns will help spur them to purchase from your online store.
- Include relevant, holiday-specific keywords – Make sure these keywords are in your product descriptions so that your merchandise will show up in the search.
- Create Father's Day collections and store categories – Create a collection of your Father's Day products to enable your customers to find them easily.
- Use social media to advertise your Father's Day promotions – Amplify your Father's Day offers on your social media accounts, such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and others. Many people share discounts and deals through social media. Splashing deals for people to share will drive more traffic to your website for Father's Day.

Perhaps the best way to gauge a Middle Eastern restaurant is by its hummus.
Ordering hummus at a traditional Persian restaurant is nothing like purchasing the $2 container of salty hummus in the grocery store's refrigerated aisle, as I experienced at Persian Garden at 15th Avenue and Thomas. And yes, I ordered an appetizer as a meal. Happily.
Persian Garden's version (at $10, it took up my entire lunch budget) is similar to what you get at most Middle Eastern joints in the Valley. They swap salt for true chick pea flavor, garnished by veggies that make the dish really pop. Small cucumber slices offer cool relief and diced tomatoes as some zest and sweetness when combined with the nutty-tasting dip.
The small, adorable restaurant serves hummus (and most other dishes) with homemade wheat naan. But they only serve one small piece of the delicious, warm bread with an order. You can request more, but it's worth mentioning that the service, while quite helpful and kind, is super slow -- even on dead afternoons. Getting more naan to your table is a daunting task. After ten minutes of waiting for more naan, I decided that I was kind of full and would rather take the check and leave.

I was hoping for a hummus that would blow me away, but instead I got one that's hyper-traditional. I've had this same dish dozens of times at a handful of Valley restaurants. But it was tasty. I'll give them that.

I made these Mexican Chicken Stuffed Shells for dinner for my family last night and it was a huge hit. I'm glad I have another batch in the freezer for an easy meal for later!
Here is what you will need:
Mexican Chicken Stuffed Shells
Cook time:
Total time:
- 4 cups chicken breast, cooked and diced
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 6 green onions, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 3 (8 oz) blocked cream cheese, softened but not melted
- 2 cans Rotel diced tomatoes and with chilies, undrained (I used the Kroger store brand)
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (my family loves cheese so I didn't use exact measurements with this)
- 2 cups salsa
- 40 large pasta shells
- Cook pasta shells in well salted, boiling water. Drain the pasta and set aside while you make the filling.
- For the filling, add diced chicken, drained black beans, green onions, diced peppers and cumin into a LARGE mixing bowl. Mix well.
- In a separate mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese, chicken broth, and undrained Rotel. When thoroughly combined, (if you don't mind getting your hands a bit messy I found it easier to mix with my hands) pour it over the chicken mixture and mix well.
- You will need two 9 x 13" baking pans. Spread ¾ cup salsa in the bottom of each baking dish.
- Using a spoon, fill each of your cooked pasta shells with the chicken mixture, setting them into the salsa-covered dish. Continue until all shells are filled and arranged in the pans.
- (The box of shells I bought had a few more then 40 shells and I had enough filling to use them all)
- When the baking dishes are full, drizzle the shells with the remaining salsa (1/4 cup per dish) and then sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 350 for about 30 min.
- I baked one dish and wrapped the other and put it in the freezer for another night. When your ready to eat it, pull it out of the freezer 24 hours in advance and let it thaw in the fridge. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Feng Shui Tips & Advice, Issue #001 -- Follow Your Bliss
December 28, 2012
Happy New Year!
As the New Year approaches, I begin to contemplate what "follow your bliss" really means. On a conceptual level, we all know that it means you should do what you love, right? It means we must find that one thing that gets us out of bed in the morning, ignites our divine spark, and initiates a flood of unstoppable vitality. And once you know what that one thing is, just go out and do it. That's it.
Sometimes it's easier said than done.
So what can you do right now to follow your bliss? I'll tell you…. find your homing thought.
In his book Life Energy, Dr. John Diamond, talks about the homing thought. Although it is an evolving, slippery target, your homing thought is a guiding concept of what you believe is your true potential. What do you feel your purpose is right now? To put it another way, it is the answer to the question, "who will you become?" not "who are you now?"
For most, the homing thought originates out of your deepest desire of what you want to accomplish on this earth. Maybe you want to help impoverished people, be the next Van Gogh (or Buddha!), or write a best-selling novel. However, as you begin to contemplate your homing thought, it evolves beyond description—it becomes a sense of self that is indescribable in words and can only be experienced with feeling, emotion, and knowing. This is your true homing thought.
For Dr. Diamond, his homing thought was an impression of himself sitting on a secluded beach playing a musical instrument. Upon deep contemplation, his homing thought transmuted into a profound sense of peace, fulfillment, and well-being.
So, what do you do with this homing thought? Well, you hold it in your mind of course.
According to Dr. Diamond, you become invulnerable to stress when you concentrate on your homing thought. This thought is the essence of your true self, it is the whole of your vitality and it literally makes you invincible.
Maybe this is what it means to "follow your bliss." Sure, you may not live the life you want right now, but when you hold in mind your homing thought, you are a firecracker—a being possessed of such vitality and energy that positive transformation is not only likely but inevitable. With this newfound surge of vivacity and life, the impossible suddenly becomes possible.
So, what are you waiting for? Who will you become?
Use feng shui to gain focus and clarity.Sometimes it can be difficult to establish clarity and a conscious direction—it's as if life has become one huge buffet with too many options. We taste a little of everything and walk away feeling engorged and lethargic.
So how can you begin to focus on what it is you truly desire? How can you be more selective in your choices?
Start by clearing your home. Clean house, and declutter. Cleaning brings clarity.
Next, activate the element of air. Open up some windows and turn on some lights. Good, focused lighting like reading lights, up-lights, and spots are key.
Use cool, white and light colors. White stimulates clarity and mental focus.
Finally, if you feel confused, blocked, or depressed, use a cure that is light, flexible, fresh, and has quick growth—like bamboo.
And don't forget the power of intention. Create a vision board to help you focus in on what you want to achieve.

My dirty clothes tend to end up on the floor. It's a problem, mostly the problem is laziness. Partially the problem was I didn't have a laundry basket in the bedroom.
Problem solved by making a super cute one!
My dirty clothes tend to end up on the floor. It's a problem, mostly the problem is laziness. Partially the problem was I didn't have a laundry basket in the bedroom.
Problem solved by making a super cute one!
Here's the page from the Home Sweet Home Diary!
Dirty Clothes.
How can I store them? I hate those floppy baskets that always end up falling down! This sucks.
$12 Bin painted up cutely 😀 I made a liner with an old dress. Looking pretty good now! Goodbye ugly dirty clothes!
Let's get started!
This is the bin that I picked up from a junk store for $12. It's not the prettiest thing in the world but not bad!
I painted it with acrylic paint mixed with PVA glue.
It took several coats and needed to have a base coat of the PVA so it stuck properly. Had I been thinking before I started I would have just laid down some masking tape but I didn't so after finished I cleaned it up by scraping the extra off.
Once it was all dry I needed to make a liner. I used an old Bodyline dress which had a pretty serious stain on it. The best thing about using an old dress is that most of the sewing is already done!
Measuring how far down to make the frill so it overlaps the handles:
And the inside before it's sewn up.
This is the dress I recycled, I wore it pretty much to death so now I'm going to be recycling it into several different things so the pretty pattern isn't lost!
First was the frill to hold it in place in the top. I used elastic but you could also use a drawstring.
Inside out with the elastic it looks like a bubble skirt XD
Make sure your elastic has enough stretch that it can easily get on and off the bin otherwise the whole thing is a bit pointless XD
After sewing on the elastic:
Now to fix the bottom so the clothes don't just fall out the other end! First I removed the straps (I'll make hair ties with these later)
Then I removed the detailing at the top and cut it off in a nice straight line so it was easy to sew. I'll remake that pretty detailing into a collar or something else pretty too.
Then it was just a matter of sewing up the bottom!
And it fits quite a lot of clothes in it too which is good because I hate doing laundry XD
And pop the lid back on and you can hide all of James' gross dirty socks!!
Pretty cute solution, what do you guys think?
My home is starting to come together well! It's much tidier already 😀

Selecting the proper hue to wear to work is quite a significant issue. Below are some colors to wear to the work which are as follows:
- Navy is superlatively good color, indicating loyalty, confidence and stability. Pair an elegant navy skirt with a matching jerkin.
- Never undervalue the black color. Wear a fashionable black dress and make it attractive with a undershirt.
- Pick out a scarf, jacket or skirt of beige color that specifies confidence and simplicity, if you are bored of white.

President Obama on Monday imposed sanctions against four government officials of Burundi for threatening U.S. national security and human rights violations, marking the 12th time Obama has declared such a national emergency with respect to another country. He has rescinded three similar executive orders issued by predecessors, most recently with respect to Liberia.
The EU and African Union have already imposed sanctions against top members of President Pierre Nkurunziza's government.
His presidency "has precipitated a humanitarian, economic and security crisis, forcing more than 200,000 Burundians to become refugees in neighboring countries," said Ned Price, National Security Council spokesman.

I'm a Toronto photographer, specializing in portraits.
—families, headshots, or just making your events more personal—
A little background...
In grade two, I was given a little Kodak 110 for Christmas. I immediately began snapping shots of my friends at school—many of us earnestly packing holstered six-guns over our Wrangler bell-bottoms at the time.
I'm pretty sure you'd get arrested for any of those things today.
Since then, I have learned one great truth in life, and it is this: people love posing for photos... so long as the photographer is seven years old.
As they become adults, folks get shy when they see a camera. That's why some of us shutterheads spend a month's pay on a long telephoto lens. Wouldn't want to get too close, right? Scare people off.
Except, "close" is where the action is; and, more importantly, where the emotion is. And if emotion isn't there, let me tell you, the shot ain't worth it.
Being a portrait shooter seems to go hand-in-hand with being a people-person. I love getting to know people; over a beer, or over a tripod... makes no difference to me. Everyone has a good story in them. And a good photo can tell that story.
"The Four Levels of Comedy: Make your friends laugh, Make strangers laugh, Get paid to make strangers laugh, and Make people talk like you because it's so much fun."
-Jerry Seinfeld
"The Four Levels of Photography: Shoot your friends, Shoot strangers, Get paid to shoot strangers, and inspire people to shoot because it's so much fun."
Flash forward to 2006. Ugh.
All my film gear was stolen. But, it turns out, I was actually given a terrific gift. Right after I installed bars on the basement windows, I went out and bought a digital SLR and decided to make the jump to pro. And I got into "it" again, in a big way.
I had done the darkroom thing—timers, fumes, burning-and-dodging—but I was far more seduced by digital. I sorta miss film (the way old folks miss boarding school, I guess) but I only dabble in it now. Digital is way fast, powerful, and really flexible. But in the end, equipment is only as compelling as your vision.
Cameras come and go; they're only tools. Your eye is the only gear that matters in creating an image—something photographers and clients see equally.
And if you can get two visions in sync, you can make magic.
(That's my family... they rock. Looks like we're due for some new shots!)
So let's chat. You and me; over a coffee, or over the phone.
Tell me who you are, what you're looking for in a portrait. Maybe you just want a killer headshot for work? Maybe there's a family reunion around the corner?
Or maybe, instead of another 10,000 snapshots on a computer, you want that one great portrait—the one your kids will fight over when you're gone.
I've got a hunch if you've read this far, you and I are going to get along just fine.

Effects of Carbohydrase Supplement on Lactation Performance of Primiparous Sows Fed Corn-Soybean Meal Based Lactation Diet

Title & Authors
Effects of Carbohydrase Supplement on Lactation Performance of Primiparous Sows Fed Corn-Soybean Meal Based Lactation Diet
Ji, F.; Kim, S.W.;
The experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that supplementing diets of lactating first parity sows with a mixture of carbohydrases (CS) improves lactation performance and second parity reproductive performance. The CS used in this study contained 7 units/g of
-1,6-galactosidase, 22 units/g of
-1,4-mannosidase and trace amounts of other enzymes. Twenty primiparous sows (Newsham Hybrid) were allotted to either the control group (no CS supplement) or the CS group (0.1% CS supplement) and fed the experimental diets during 21 d lactation period. Sows and nursing pigs were weighed at birth and weekly until weaning. Days of weaning-to-estrus were recorded. Sows had free access to feed and water. Feed intake of sows was measured daily. During the second parity gestation and lactation, all the sows were fed the same gestation and lactation diets and their reproductive performance was measured. During the second parity, there were 14 sows (7 sows per group) remained productive. For the first lactation, maternal body weight loss of the CS group was smaller (p<0.05) than that of the control group. There was no difference in litter weight gain between two groups. Voluntary feed intake of sows did not differ between the two groups. Days of weaning-to-estrus of the CS group were smaller (p<0.05) than those of the control group. In the second parity, there was no difference in the reproductive performance between the two groups. In conclusion, supplementing CS in the diet of lactating sows during the first parity decreased body weight loss and days of weaning-to-estrus of sows. However, these effects of the CS supplementation in the first parity were not successfully carried over to the second parity.

I took a peek at these acryilic and poliester fabric collages on canvas....
Upon looking at them, I could think of nothing more than a blank (quite bad painted) wall, or a child's play with paint...
Just out of curiosity, how much this one of these...works cost?

anonymous, thanks for looking.
The cost is irrelevent, since the pieces are for an upcoming show and not available for purchase yet.
I enjoyed reading your reaction to these paintings, especially the "blank wall" comparison. To much of the art I see is about bigger-is-better, with outlandish colors and Las Vegas style effects. I felt a need to get back to the quiet side of painting, where the art is not lost amid the glam. And for making a space to allow the subtle qualities of creativity to flourish, a blank wall is not a bad place to start.

I'll take a Michael Cross "blank wall" or any other "subtle creative flourish" of his currently on exhibit at his Swiss Avenue gallery. They are quite unique.

Arts education projects and cultural programs aimed at diverse communities would come under the ax through Mecklenburg County's proposed budget. Arts groups already hit by sharp funding cuts from the Arts & Science Council would feel a further squeeze. And the future of uptown's Spirit Square would be in question.
The spending plan presented Monday would affect three programs the county supports through the ASC.
Funding for arts projects in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools would shrink from the current year's $349,600 to zero.
Money for cultural programs aimed at multicultural audiences would go from $406,600 to zero.
Support for Spirit Square, which the county owns but Blumenthal Performing Arts Center manages, would fall from this year's $1,051,808 to $750,000 - a 29 percent drop.
The cuts would force the ASC to rein in programs that reach across Mecklenburg, ASC President Scott Provancher said Tuesday. The programs tie in with priorities the county has identified - such as serving the county's cultural diversity.
Without the county's support, Provancher said, the ASC would have to eliminate a program that funds events targeted for African-American, Asian, Latino and Native American culture. The activities have included a showcase of Vietnamese folk tales; performances for American Indian Heritage Month; and an eight-week program on African drumming and dance based in the Hampton Park neighborhood.
"We built that program to meet ... what the county was looking for," Provancher said.
While many of the events have been produced by community groups such as YMCA branches, Provancher said, some of the 26 main groups the ASC supports have also taken part. The loss of the county money would mean a 4 percent reduction in the pool of money available for them.
"In and of itself, a 4 percent reduction is not devastating," Provancher said. But the groups already suffered sharp cuts in their ASC support last year after the recession crimped fundraising. The additional cut would intensify their challenges.
Without the county's contribution for arts-education projects, the ASC would have about 40 percent less money to spend on them next year, Provancher said. It would have to eliminate a program that gives each CMS school a few thousand dollars to bring in projects that dovetail with the school's curriculum - such as workshops, demonstrations or hands-on activities for students.
Because these programs serve needs that county leaders have emphasized, the ASC hopes to persuade them to restore at least some of the funding, Provancher said. It may be possible, he added, to leverage county money to draw support from donors - linking in with Charlotte's long tradition of public-private partnerships.
"We understand the challenges the county is going through," Provancher said. "We also think the ASC is delivering real value to the community."
With Spirit Square, the county intends to revive discussions that began a few years ago about redeveloping the building, county management analyst Faith Leach said.
The $750,000 called for in the spending plan would be enough to operate the center for at least six months. During that time, county leaders will host discussions with the ASC and Blumenthal Center about longer-term plans for the building, which adjoins a 19th-century church sanctuary.
In the meantime, Provancher said, the ASC hopes to find ways to keep Spirit Square "operating and vibrant with the resources that are there."

There are several reasons for its usefulness in helping treat recurring pregnancy loss: IVIG helps the embryo shield itself against the mother's immune system It suppresses many of the immune reactions which commonly attack the embryo It increases production of substances which assist growth in the embryo It blocks the transmission of "negative" information about the embryo to the immune system A large percentage of women who have experienced recurrent miscarriage have found that IVIG is an effective solution to the immunologic causes of miscarriage. It is administered intravenously and there is some theoretical risk of blood-borne disease, but our clinic has used it for over 20 years and in that time, we have not had a single occurrence of disease transmission. In most cases, the worst side-effects are similar to flu symptoms which through the night of the transfusion. Effective Treatment for Recurring Pregnancy Loss After an initial consultation, Dr. Braverman will consult with the team at our clinic to determine whether this is the right approach to your case, followed by a second call to brief you on the details of the recommended plan of treatment. In the past, IVIG fertility treatment cost patients as much as $5,000, but our experience has shown that as little as half the dose is often just as effective. If you choose to pursue this program, the IVIG transfusion normally takes about 4-6 hours. Soon, you should be pregnant, and Dr. Braverman will follow your progress for the first 12 weeks to help you along. Helpful Article: Hizentra: an alternative therapy to IVIG for IVF-ET patients

Former RFL referees' boss Jon Sharp has been confirmed at Featherstone Rovers' new head coach.
Sharp, an ex-Rovers player, takes charge less than a week after Andy Hay left the club following a 32-30 home defeat by Dewsbury Rams.
He takes over with immediate effect on a contract until the end of the 2017 season and will be in charge for the first time when Rovers visit Kingstone Press Championship leaders Leigh Centurions on Sunday.
Sharp was born in Featherstone and previously had spells as coach of Batley Bulldogs and Huddersfield Giants, as well as assistant at St Helens.
In a statement released through the club, Sharp said: "I'm absolutely thrilled to be back in club coaching, especially at a club which means so much to me.
"I enjoyed my time working with the sport's match officials, but I really missed being involved with the cut and thrust of working with players and preparing for games on a weekly basis.
"I played at Featherstone for a couple of seasons almost 20 years ago and have great memories of that time. I also cut my teeth as a coach with the club's Academy and there is a real sense of 'coming home' about being here again."
He added: "Featherstone Rovers is one of the sport's most famous names and I feel honoured and privileged to have this chance.
"It's a long time since Featherstone were in the top flight and my aim is to put the club back where it belongs.
"That hasn't really been achievable during the Super League era, but the new league structure has given the club a realistic chance of achieving its ambitions.
"We play Leigh Centurions this weekend and it's a tough start, but one I'm sure everyone here at Featherstone is looking forward to.
"Leigh have set the standards in the Championship in the last two years and this is an opportunity for Featherstone to show what we are capable of.
"There is a cracking squad here at Rovers, a good strong blend of experienced players and high quality youngsters.
"My job is to bring out the best in them and that's the most exciting part of it for me."

Professionalism: Employment and Certain Jobs
Skill: These are required to perform the task at hand, without the skills for the job the employee is ineffective and useless in the work environment. No one is born with skills, skills are learned- and must be learned, for the most part, before attempting certain jobs (however some skills must be learned by on the job training).
Experience: This is very valuable; with the right experiences the employee can learn from his past efforts and not have the need for certain training. This also allows them to think ahead of time and save time and effort.
Communication Skill: The ability to get across to the customer in an educated and comforting manner comes across as a higher-level business. This is a very useful skill to have and can take an employee far in his respected work field.
Initiative: The employee must want to be there, and can follow through with task with minimal interruptions. This quality moves production pace along and also encourages other employees to keep working.
Ethics: The employee must know right from wrong and good from bad in the workplace. Without this there is a higher chance of accidents and injuries. It can also increase production.
Qualification: The employee must have the right certifications and schooling for the field of work they will be going into. This not only gives them the basic skills needed to perform the job but also gives them some experience within that work environment.
In Conclusion, True professionalism embodies all of the following and is key to effectively performing certain jobs and tasks.

I would like to dub this post: IT TASTES WAY BETTER THAN IT LOOKS! As a perfectionist I battled with myself over whether or not to post this recipe, because the meal isn't super sexy. But it tastes sooooo good I couldn't resist!
ALSO Passion's Tide is free again for another 5 days on Amazon! It has been downloaded over 40,000 times all over the world, and it has 4.6 stars. So get a copy if you haven't already 🙂
A few months back, when I was trying to eat healthier to lost a few pounds for my cruise (which I quickly gained back ON the cruise) I found a recipe for a one-skillet meal with artichoke hearts, chicken breast, garlic, and lemons. Yum. Problem is, it's not very attractive.
When you brown chicken and onions and garlic in a cast iron skillet, then scrape all that brown gunk to make the sauce, everything turns….well, brown.
But the flavor is anything but brown and drab, I promise you. The chicken is moist and infused with the lemon and garlic, and of course the artichoke hearts are awesome. I may have gone a little overboard with the garnishing, but I was trying to add some damn color to the meal, to show how flavorful it was!
You will need:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken meat, large dice
- 1 1/2 cups quartered artichoke hearts (canned or jarred – not frozen)
- 2/3 cup dry white wine
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 cup lightly packed thinly sliced basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large frying pan or skillet (I used a 12″, probably anything less than 10″ wouldn't work). Add the garlic and onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 4 minutes or until golden. Add the chicken and cook for five minutes, stirring often to brown on all sides. Add artichokes and cook for a few minutes until they start breaking apart.
Add lemon juice, water, and wine, and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up all that flavorful gunk at the bottom. Simmer for 5 minutes or until you can't smell the wine anymore, and the sauce is reduced. Remove from heat and add basil and lemon zest and serve.
It's a super easy, one skillet meal, perfect for a weeknight. And the flavors are bright and succulent, despite the rather drab appearance.
Anddddd….that's it. Dont forget mountains of garnishes to add some color!

Some (New?) Ideas Regarding Tilesets and Character Appearance.
July 02, 2015, 01:22:07 AM »
I'm not sure if this belongs here, but I've made a post asking for help in making or editing tilesets. In the process I've came up with several new ideas. I'll post a link to it for now but it's a little repetitive and lengthy and I have no idea what I'm talking about (for the amount of ideas that I'm actually suggesting). Also most of the ideas and suggestions are towards the end of my thread.
(My original post)
If I need to I can summarize the ideas here instead as well. They would probably come across a little clearer.
A lot of my ideas appear to be supported or doable in Robik's tileset editor. I believe they all have to do with visuals rather than gameplay as well. My biggest idea would be a system where the character changes pose based on what they are wearing or wielding. So if the character is wielding nothing, they stand in a neutral pose, if they know martial arts and it is activated, they stand in a fighting stance while wielding nothing, if they are wielding a gun they stand in an action pose while holding a gun... and so on. Expanding upon this idea would be changes based off of skill level, traits or profession. If a character has a military or police profession, or if their skill level in marksmanship is high enough, they hold their firearms more professionally. If the character has the albino trait they are very pale, etc.
I'm not sure if high definition tiles are a thing, but if they aren't a system where tile images of greater resolution are scaled down to a proportional but smaller tile size would be helpful in attempting to give faces details in order to help distinguish between faces should unique and different player tiles be possible or implemented.
Please note that I've only played this game for weeks at most and I'm an inexperienced in modding or coding and I don't know how practical these ideas are, as none of them impact gameplay. Despite this, I would be willing to work on this in my own mod if I can find out what in the world I'm doing and any help would be appreciated.
If there is someone I should be contacting, or somewhere else I should post this please don't hesitate to inform me of this. I've just been posting randomly about these forums in weird frenzy of misplaced excitement (Even more horrifying are these notes in parenthesis which are starting to get out of control).

Welcome to the forums :)
This is a reasonable place to put your thoughts and ask for feedback, no worries there.
So first the good news, what you're suggesting is really cool and we could support it in the game with just a little work.
The bad news is in order to do what you're suggesting your tileset would be absolutely gigantic.
A quick check indicates that the Chestole tileset has 910 overlay tiles, i.e. tiles intended to be tendered on top of the player. (4609 total BTW)
Each stance you add will act as a multiplier to the number of overlay tiles you'd need to make, for example if you supported 5 stances, you'd roughly double the number of tiles you'd need to make, and it sounds like you'd want even more than that.
Its like a fun family cookout, except your family is burning in flames while trying to eat you. -secretfire

That's the problem, yeah. It could be incredibly awesome, but too much work. I have worked for months in my tileset and haven't gotten half of the tiles needed, that is just overwhelming. It would be really awesome, but overwhelming!

Thank you for the welcome, I think I kinda just barged in suddenly and got fairly worked up. Well at least now I know this is possible. I was floating my ideas as fast I could think of them to see how far I could theoretically go. More realistically I plan to start out with something similar to what the ChestHole tileset does, so a character is always in an action pose, and the weapons appear in their hands. Once I figure out how the numbers work, I can try to put something small together to see how it works and if my idea can actually be achieved without investing copious amounts of work into very little. I think my initial wave of excitement has died down some so I can think a bit more clearly about the whole thing. As soon as I put down my HD tile idea, I began to realized how much work that would actually entail especially if it means that every tile would have to be made HD, not just a few (So I'm probably gonna scrap that idea). I actually think the reason I decided to start this whole thing is I realized how simple the sprites were (compared to other things of course, there are some amazing looking tilesets out there regardless) and thought that perhaps working on something of my own would be doable.
And hopefully I'll mostly just have to concern myself with overlays as I'll be editing an existing tileset (credit given to that tileset maker, whoever they may be). Considering updates and progress that will undoubtedly be made to CDDA while I would be working on this, support for a default stance that occurs when the player wields a weapon that doesn't have an overlay would be nice. Maybe this is already supported I don't know. I'm thinking this would be extra work, but it might be helpful so I can more easily see what items I haven't gotten to, and could be as simple as the player wielding a question mark or something (or more probably, a question mark appears over the character in their default stance).
Edit: I think I forgot to explain my shadow arms idea here. This is an idea I recently came up with and decided to run with before I could find out if it's possible. And I would probably end up giving multiple items the same overlay to save time. After messing with the tileset editor, it would appear that there are shadow tiles that are used by many items so the implementation of stances would be a certain number of shadow tiles made specifically for the player, with arms in different poses attached. It might get tricky making sure the arms attached to the torso in a visually pleasing way though, so this idea might not be very practical (I assume that the shadow tiles are called background tiles, and they therefore are in the background, so the arms would be overlapped by the player and weapon overlays making it potentially very difficult to line everything up). Anyways then I would just take the arms and put a basic recoloring on them for as many clothing and armor types as I can. Then I would position the weapons, (which for now will probably be existing and perhaps rescaled overlays moved around a bit so that they match up with the hands, or they'll have hands attached, I'm not sure) in a certain way depending on what they are, small melee weapons one way, pistols another, etc...
I actually don't think I suggested this yet on my official thread, but another idea I've been thinking about while planning this out is to change the player's stance when they are standing still, walking, or running (pressing/holding down the move keys for a certain amount of times without interruption). Once again these are some of my lesser ideas, but I figure I'll suggest them while I'm thinking about it.
Now if anyone is considering listening to my eccentricities and giving some support for implementation of the code (or could this be a mod? I'm still not sure what constitutes a mod vs tileset. Maybe a tileset is a mod? I'll avoid calling this a mod for now), just let me know what I would have to provide in order to make that happen. It would give me an idea of the amount of work I would actually have to put in to this, and give me an idea of where to start.
I think I'm starting to mix my two threads together. Should I just keep the suggestions here and the questions about my project in the "The Toolbox" section?

SEYMOUR — A ban on teenage smoking that pushed the limits of local anti-tobacco legislation in the state this year and divided neighbors in the small New Haven County community was felled in a forced referendum Wednesday.
Residents voted 1,366-545 to overturn the ban.
``We got our town back,'' said Mary Adamowski, in a voice strained by weeks of protest against the ban.
For a month, a small group of protesters led by Adamowski collected signatures, addressed officials at town meetings and knocked on doors in an effort to overturn what they called ``an infringement on civil liberties.''

As a key vote approaches in Washington, recent flooding in South Florida has become fodder for an emotional debate over how much the Florida sugar industry should pay to help rescue the Everglades.
The debate is being played out in a series of full-page ads in large newspapers in Florida and several cities out of state, with allegations flying of distortions and misleading claims.
Weeks of ads by environmentalists calling for Florida Sens. Bob Graham and Connie Mack to back a tax on Florida sugar culminated with one on Tuesday that indicated homes in Palm Beach County were flooded so that the sugar crop could be kept dry.
"Senators Mack and Graham: Whose side are you on?" the environmentalists' ad asked on Tuesday. "The wealthy sugar barons or Florida's home owners?''
The ad depicted sugar fields pumped dry last week, while next door the Everglades was flooded. That shot was juxtaposed with a photo of flooded suburbs in northern Palm Beach County.
"Extremists never get it right," says the sugar growers' ad, which ran on Monday. "A real estate developer, a Wall Street commodity trader and several other special interests are attacking Florida's sugar farmers."
The ad war is all about whether to impose a tax on sugar that would raise $75 million a year to help restore the Everglades.
Graham, D-Miami Lakes, briefly supported it. But then he embraced a more modest, $7 million-a-year tax. Mack, R-Cape Coral, does not back either tax.

Max Velocity: Berry Pomegranate - Sugar Free
Taste- Like I said last week; Ive had so many sugar free berry drinks lately and I know how they are all going to taste. This one came along just to prove me wrong, not that its good but it doesn't have the splenda fake berry taste. Drinks like that they just try to hard, usually to appeal to the female crowd. This is just a cheap drink where they didn't give a fuck, but it tastes just like any dulled out flavor just not bitter and too nasty. Quite the opposite with the vitamin dust taste.
Buzz- Probably your typical energy drink/red bull blend made with taurine, caffeine and B vitamins. This seems to be the basic and most easy route for energy drink company's to take now a' days. 90% rda Vitamin B3. 240% vitamin B6. 80% vitamin B12 and 45% vitamin B12.
Over all rating-4/10
