I'm currently finishing another illustration project and trying to write the novel version for Nation Novel Writing Month ( NaNoWrimo.org ) I decided I'd try to write out the story What the Heck in novel format just to try to jump start myself to working on Heck again. It's worked so far. the 2600 words I have written so far have gotten me looking over notes and unfinished pages on the project. I hope writing it our in novel style will help me flesh out the story a little more. So far so good. but with Heck they is always a catch... every time I get moving on this project I have to set it aside for things like... moving. I'm hoping not this time but we'll see.
 I have set up a fan page for the comic. just click on the become a fan on the side of my blog. For right now I'm back to writing on the novel and I hope to come away with some new stuff to get me jump started on this project.

It probably didn't help that we moved to a wonderful place with too much to do. I'm finally getting things up and moving again.
After an inspiring trip to Disneyland I decided I have to get moving on this comic again.
I recently go hosting of my own and I am working on setting up my own websites.
www.heckcomic.com it's still forwarded to this blog but will soon be pointing to it's own set up.Aprilhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981683161270192247.post-11894599419127921882008-10-21T06:26:00.000-07:002008-10-21T06:57:26.076-07:00Leaving Heck ...I've often joked ,with my best friend, that the town I've be living in the last four years is Heck.

Well, after four years we are finally leaving. Uncle Sam packed us up and put all out belongings on a truck bound for our new home across the country yesterday. This was supposed to happen over a three day period. I thought i would have the chance to ink up a few pages and work on them during the transition. I didn't get the chance. They pakced up my art studio in the blink of an eye and I had to swoop in and save my current work from being dumped uncerimoniously in a box. I'm glad it all got packed so fast but it my be heck (wink wink) getting everything back together again on the other side.
 So for now I apologize for not posting for the next to week because I'm leaving Heck hopefully for a place that everyone has described as heaven.Aprilhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981683161270192247.post-29486005211448569762008-09-30T23:41:00.000-07:002008-10-05T18:52:07.914-07:00progress!

I'm slowly getting the first page inked. I snapped a picture of it on the light table. I have been sneaking into the art room and inking the first page. I've been holding off working on the pages I want to get to because I needed to finish my first page. I have been putting off this page trying to get the first panel right. It's been sitting on the drawing board for months waiting for me to get out my reference material and get the first panel done "right." I finally looked at the sketch I had done and said "It's good enough. I'm going to take what I have and put it all together so I can get on with telling my story"
So I combined the what I had and got to work on inking. In the middle of it I realized what it was I needed to fix on the first panel. I knew sub consiously some thing was wrong about that sketch and it had been bugging me. That was why I had been wanting to redo the first sketch. Oh well if I'll edit it later . No, I'm not going to tell you what's wrong but Feel free to leave a comment and guess. I may give a prize or something.Aprilhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981683161270192247.post-77921281641916148162008-09-16T21:54:00.000-07:002008-09-16T22:16:37.892-07:00Sneak Peak
My Art room has currently been taken over by my husband as he finishes a research paper. It's the sanctuary from the chaos caused by out dear son and his toddler tornado of energy that leaves destruction of the house in it's wake.
 So I haven't been in there to do any work. I snuck in tonight and grabbed a snap shot of this sketch from a scene late in the story. I drew this as a concept sketch. Because I was trying to cram the story into a short format the idea was going to be one of several panels. Now that I'm not worried about any competition rules I can include it as as its own full page drawing ! This also solves the layout problem I was having with that page. I really like this particular sketch I look forward to finishing it.Aprilhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981683161270192247.post-88007746696067070452008-09-11T22:22:00.000-07:002008-09-12T12:11:01.276-07:00Rough drafts
I'm posting up a few pages of rough draft of the first few pages. I thought I would have something a little more cleaned up to post by now. But life has other ideas at the moment. I also have a scanner that has issues and a copy of photoshop that doesn't work with my newer OS and that generally doesn't make it easy to get my hard copy drawings into finished form. So I decided to post old stuff I had scanned and already on my computer. I'll be showing the "behind the scenes "of working on a comic/ manga graphic novel.
 I start with a rough layout of the page either on an 8.5 x 11 peice of paper or on 5 x8 index cards and some times on 3x5. Next I do a clean up in a blue pencil, then I ink before taking it into the computer for lettering and toning and maybe color.
 These first two pages are slight variants on the first page. Currently they are decorating my drawing table as I work to finish a cleaned up first page.

The rest here are the some of the first 5-10 pages. started this project with the idea of having to put the whole story into 20 pages for Tokyo pop's Rising Starts of Manga. After trying a couple of times to finish the project to submit to them, I realized that this story could not be told in just 20 pages.
 So I've added a few pages to the beginning. Instead of trying to cram too much into just a few pages I can unfold the story in the way it needs to be told.

I met this character one night, a few years ago, as I was thinking how impossible it was for me to finish a story I was working on for the Rising Stars Of Manga Competition. I just couldn't get that story to gel. As I was laying in bed this Character popped into my head and introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm Joe! "
He continued " I'm just and average guy. I wasn't good enough for Heaven or bad enough for hell..." I got up and wrote the beginnings of this story as it came to me.
 My best friend and I had been brainstorming months before about story ideas and one idea we had discussed was sparked by a joke we heard about two demons "darned to heck." We wondered what being "darned to heck" would be like. We figured it would be an annoying place but not so bad as to be hellish. But you really wouldn't want to be there. It's a place seeming ruled by Murphy's law. And we came up with an idea for a story about a bunch of kids who died and went to heck. We called it "Oh, My Heck!" Joe was not part of that cast of characters. He got there before they did. I realized had the back story and it was quite a fun story to tell.Aprilhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981683161270192247.post-35843953923799585562008-09-02T18:09:00.000-07:002008-09-04T13:31:55.420-07:00What the Heck is this blog about?What happens if you aren't good enough for Heaven but not bad enough for Hell? ...
 You get Darned to Heck!

This Blog is for my Graphic Story/ Comic book/Manga... (what ever you want to call it) "What the Heck?" or at least until I decide to take the time to set up a proper website for it. After that It will probably be where I let YOU my audience have a chance to give me some feed back and make comments ect. (not that you can't do that now)Aprilhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

Dinosaurs and All World
Let's face it. Humanity loves dinosaurs. I'm no exception. What saddens me most, aside from the animals no longer being around, is what humanity has corrupted them into: giant chickens we can no longer take seriously. Yep, people had to go and stick feathers on them when so-called evidence for such feathers was found on the raptors and other small theropods (which implies that beloved predators like Velociraptor weren't actually dinosaurs at all but toothy birds through and through). Ignoring the teeth, would you take T. rex seriously if it had feathers ? I seriously can't. It's hard to be scared of a sixteen foot high chicken with teeth than the more aesthetically pleasing scaly animal we've known years before idiots start putting feathers on them, trying to find a nonexistent link between dinosaurs and birds. Feathers make some of the greatest animals that ever lived look lame.
Given the lame looks of dinosaurs in today's depictions, it was inevitable that I would bring dinosaurs into All World and restore them to the way they were: scaly animals. All World calls them Old Reptiles and to avoid using the scientific names in a world where Latin doesn't exist, I gave them new names in layman's words. Take my favorite dinosaur, the Spinosaurus, for instance. In All World, they are called Sailbacks for their distinctive sails. I made my dinosaurs sentient and sapient as well as putting some of the big time predators into herds in the care of human Keepers. You could even ride them if they let you. Played for the Rule of Cool because seriously, who wouldn't want to walk down the street on the shoulders of a dinosaur? Who says large carnivores have to be mindless monsters all the time as well? The Old Reptiles are the reason Island Reptilia exists.
Going on my idealistic view that perhaps dinosaurs still exist somewhere in our world, Island Reptilia was made to be a sanctuary to prevent them from going extinct in All World. The only reason that I believe dinosaurs may still be alive somewhere is the fact that we haven't explored every inch of this planet. There are still plenty of places we haven't seen that may be hiding dinosaurs of some kind. Given the discovery of soft tissue in a T. rex bone , it's not a long shot to assume the animal had lived recently and depending on the climate and environment, soft tissue could last for a while but millions of years doesn't allow for that tissue to still exist as it was found.
Another thing I don't like what humanity's done to dinosaurs is assuming they lived so long ago that people never seen one alive. I think different. People in many cultures have described and showed what could only be dinosaurs through the ages. Those dragon myths we know so well? How do we know they weren't embellished stories about interaction of some kind with dinosaurs? I truly believe that "dragon" is the ancestral name for "dinosaur" since the word dinosaur itself wasn't coined until the 1800s. I believe dinosaurs were not only killed off by nature but also by humans. They have found cave drawings of humans killing dinosaurs. Not that secular science wants you to know that because it's so corrupted. Science, believe it or not, is easy to reconcile with a Biblical worldview and it makes the most sense when looked at with such a view
The Old Reptiles of All World's story dates back to the Genesis Flood and before. Like on Earth, a few juvenile specimens were saved on the Ark and spread over the world after the Flood was over. The Old Reptiles found themselves in competition with humans and other beats that required that some be transplanted to Island Reptile, a federal secret on the Continent, while the unlucky ones were left to die and caused them to go extinct on the mainland. Some dinosaurs bonded with the humans who swore to help rebuild the species, forming farms and bringing in herd mentalities for the large carnivores. Island Reptilia also hosts animals from the single Ice Age both Earth and All World went through post-Flood, like mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and the like.
Dire wolves' pack mentalities were emulated by farms specializing in Small Arms (T. rex and other large theropods) and Sailbacks, and allowed herds with up to ten members to be possible. Even the alpha rank one finds in wolves is found in a herd of large theropods. In my first Island Reptilia story, it follows the story of a girl who stumbled across the secret of living Old Reptiles when a smuggler was showing off a baby Sailback named Ember in her village located in Seiryu's East. She helped return him to his farm on the Island and she became close with the alpha male and female of Ember's herd, Inferno and Pyra, as well as the keeper's son, Daniel. Inferno and Pyra are also Ember's parents. Since we don't know what coloration dinosaurs were, I went with the Rule of Cool for Inferno, Pyra, and Ember by them look like what their names suggest. Inferno's probably my favorite Sailback for that reason. His coloration is reds and blacks with some orange.
I have to thank Jurassic Park III for the idea of a battle between a Sailback and Small Arm (T. Rex type). To be honest, before JP3, I wasn't aware this sailed animal even existed. However, studies on a surviving fossil of a Spinosaurus skull suggest that this apex predator was primarily a fisher and so its bite power wasn't as strong as a T. Rex. JP3 again just applied the Rules of Cool and Drama to show off Spiny. Spinosaurus could possibly take out a juvenile, weak, or very old T. Rex but certainly not the one he fought in the movie which I'm sure was a full-grown healthy adult. The fight between Inferno and a rouge Small Arm almost ended in Inferno's death but his herd finally rose against the attacker after making sure their young were safe and saved his life. Before inspiration dried up, the story halted at Inferno coming down with an infection from getting bitten on the neck by his adversary.
Dinosaurs will always hold a place in my heart but sadly, today's "science" is kind of making me wish they never existed. After all, for one who disagrees with everything taught in school biology, it's better for dinosaurs to never have existed at all than to be mere puppets to a theory that has no weight in reality. I will never come to accept the worldview of dinosaurs living long before humans when their bones have been found in the same layers as humans or that the ultimate predators like T. rex were just huge hulking chickens with teeth. Dragons are almost universally reptilian in our stories. So, too, were the animals they were based on…dinosaurs. Dinosaurs and birds are two distinct races. They have nothing in common. Genetics don't allow for one animal to turn into another. It just doesn't happen in the real world.

So yesterday's Premier League action went pretty much according to script for the most part, with shock of the round perhaps going to Burnley who beat Sunderland – who've had a very promising start – by three goals to one at Turf Moor. Probably the most significant result of the day though, was from Villa Park where Portsmouth succumbed to their sixth defeat out of six so far this season. Things really do look grim for the South Coasters.
In fact, things are so grim that despite the season being only six games old, the Eurosports wrap up that I saw on Sky Sports 3 before actually said that "Aston Villa secured a 2-0 win over relegation-bound Portsmouth at Villa Park…" before going on to name the scorers and show the (lovely) finish from Agbonlahor. And that's the trouble, looking at Pompey at the moment, there's very little if about it. Relegation seems like a when for them at the moment, so something has to change.
I have to say first off, that I'm not one to wield the managerial axe lightly. Many times on this blog over the past 11 months or so I've leapt to the defence of a manager or criticised a chairman hasty to bring out the sack, and on the whole I think that it's better to give your manager a chance. Consistency and patience are very underrated things in football these days, but they are well worth having as I've had the pleasure of seeing first hand at my club Everton – David Moyes is now the third longest serving manager in the league and has done brilliantly for our club.
Indeed, his time in charge is only bettered by Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson and let's face it, their clubs have done pretty well from sticking with them for a decent amount of time too. That said, I think that Portsmouth really do need to get rid of Paul Hart now. And I mean now, I mean as soon as possible. That's nothing against Paul Hart either, I think that he's a good coach and an extremely passionate boss, but I simply don't think he's the right man for the job.
Of course, not being 'the right man for the job' is at best a tired old cliché and at worst a rather see-through euphemism for 'he's shit' but I don't actually mean to use it in either sense. The situation at Pompey is one that makes it very, very difficult for any manager. Their finances were, and possibly still are, all up in the air and that saw a huge merry-go-round of transfers take place over the summer, whereby they pretty much sold most of their squad and then signed most of a new one.
That, naturally, is going to take some time to settle down. The players need to forge good on and off field relationships for each other and the boss needs to figure out what his best team is. So Pompey's bad start can be attributed to that to an extent, and from the interviews I've seen, Hart certainly remains confident that he can turn things around and that once his side gels, they'll kick off the bottom of the table and stave off relegation.
I'm not so sure though. See, the players that Portsmouth sold were, by and large, very good players. To name but a few, they've seen Sylvain Distin, Glen Johnson, Jermaine Defoe, Peter Crouch and Niko Krankjar depart in the recent past. Of all these players, there are a few qualities that are universal: they're all experienced, proven Premier League quality players, most play regular international football and would get into most Premier League sides (probably excusing the 'big four').
Now though, ask yourself, do those same qualities apply to any of this little lot: Aaron Mokoena, Steve Finnan, Frederic Piquionne, Anthony Vanden Borre, Tommy Smith, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Michael Brown, Arnua Dindane, Jamie O'Hara, Tal Ben-Haim, Mike Williamson, Hassan Yebeda. The short answer: no. Don't get me wrong, there are some good players in there, some youngsters who will go far and probably a couple of internationals. But, they're definitely not as good as the players that left.
Of course, the selection of players I picked out who have left were the best ones, but you can't replace quality with quantity, it just doesn't work that way. You can only play 11 players at once and a starting eleven minus the players who've left and filled with any combination of those who've joined will simply not be as the starting eleven that Portsmouth were able to name last season, end of story. And that's where the real problem lies.
Portsmouth finished 14th last season with 41 points – seven clear of relegation. I suppose when it comes down to it, that's a reasonable gap on paper but make no mistake, they had a pretty close shave. In many ways Pompey (and a couple of other sides) only survived last season because they were the least bad of a very bad bunch. There were a lot of poor teams there. This season though, that isn't the case. The teams who have come up have already shown that they're no mugs, while the likes of Stoke (12th), Hull (17th) and especially Sunderland (16th) have strengthened considerably.
Portsmouth though, as I outlined above, have gotten worse. That doesn't mean of course, that they'll necessarily be relegated. Football isn't played on paper, which is why Man City won't make a realistic title challenge this season. Portsmouth, despite being arguably the worst side in the league on paper, do have a very realistic chance of survival. However, I strongly believe that their only hope lies in relieving Paul Hart of his managerial duties and appointing a better tactical manager.
Because Paul Hart is certainly a football person, he's got a lot of passion and I'm sure he knows the game as well as anyone. What he isn't though, is a tactical genius. That much is all but proven by his managerial career record which isn't exactly sparkling, apart from a brief period during his time in charge of Nottingham Forest. And the simple fact is that Portsmouth don't really have a squad capable of keeping them up. They don't have a Premier League quality squad, so they need a really good manager.
More and more in today's game, managers are becoming as high profile as players. The likes of Sven Goran Eriksson, Jose Mourinho, Fabio Capello and many others are household names making a fortune out of the job. And that's because more and more in today's game they play a key part in success. In the past, it was often simply a case of putting the eleven best players on the park, and the best team would win. Now though, with the difference in quality between players at the top level so marginal, a good manager can be key.
Because Pompey don't have bad players, they're just not as good as the other Premier League clubs. Which means that in a straight shot 11 vs. 11 match, they'd lose the majority of matches and be relegated. But if they have a manager who can get the best out of them, and who can neutralise the threat of their opposition, then Pompey could easily survive. It's all about tactics now, getting your players to play to their best isn't enough. You need to be able to do that while also stopping the other team from playing.
And as much as I like Paul Hart, he's a good down to earth bloke, I don't think he's capable of that. He doesn't have the tactical prowess to identify and successfully neutralise the key threat of the opposition while maintaining the effectiveness of his own side. That's not a criticism – I can't do that either (though I sometimes think I can), and neither can many managers. That's a skill that only the very best managers possess and that is also my point. Portsmouth need to sack Paul Hart if they're to stay up because with their squad they need a top, top manager.
Paul Hart isn't a top, top manager and so he is not the right man for the job in this situation. Had Pompey clung on to more of their prized assets over the Summer then I would totally be backing Hart to keep them in the Premier League. However, a manager like Hart can only do so much with his players, and the players he has available to him are limited by means that were beyond his control. Unfortunately for him that means that he's not going to be much use for Pompey anymore, fortunately for him, they've now got a rich owner so he should get a nice payoff.
And speaking of their rich new owner, he's got a big job on his hands now. Because it's all very well saying that Pompey need a top, top boss to stay up, it's quite another talking one into working on the South Coast. However, if their new Arab owner wants to remain the owner of a Premier League club, I genuinely believe that's what he needs to do. I've heard a number of disgruntled Pompey fans on BBC's 6-0-6 phone in asking what direction the new owner will take the club in; well here's his answer:
He needs to sack Paul Hart immediately, he needs to find a top manager and persuade him to come and fight a relegation battle with Portsmouth and he needs to back that manager financially come January. Otherwise, he needs to prepare for life in the Championship because if things don't change pretty sharpish at Portsmouth, they will be a Championship club sooner rather than later. It's only six games into this Premier League season, but the bell is already tolling for Portsmouth I fear…
Have your say:
What do you think? Is Paul Hart the right man for Pompey? Or should they let him go? Can they survive either way? Who could take over? Please leave a comment with your thoughts below…

So I played violin at church yesterday and today my fingers are a little bit sore. This would not be the case if I played every day, or even a few times a week. The truth is, I really only play my violin a few times prior to whenever I'm scheduled to play at church. I would like to play more often and have started going through my stack of violin stuff. It all comes back to my fingers pretty quickly - it's a matter of just doing it.
After playing yesterday, I was asked by more than one person, "How long have you been playing?" The answer is a little scary to me.
Thirty years.
3-0. GAH!!! When did that happen?? I started violin when I was 4 years old. Now I feel old. I was reminded of this little photographic gem, though. It was taken during a recital when I was 6:
I love playing at church, though, so the whole sore finger thing is totally worth it. And lest you think that what we're doing there is solemn, classical or boring...check this out. This was one of our special numbers from a few months ago.

For our project, we decided to do something that would promote the idea of recycling. According to Earth911.com, "Producing new plastic products from recycled materials uses two-thirds less energy than making products from raw (virgin) materials, so recycling plastics frees up that energy consumption for other products and uses. In 2007, the U.S. recycled […]

Bottle Wareness Day
On December 15th 2010, the YU EcoReps on Beren campus ran a daylong event focused on bottled water.

Urgent! Please share this on Facebook:
Yesterday, I had my heart broken. To be frank, it was predictable. It has happened in the same way many times before.
For 13 years, my citizenship passion project has been tuberculosis and more general public-health-disaster-preparedness in Massachusetts. Our state and regional CDC (the Massachusetts State Public Health Laboratory Institute) is New England's bulwark against infectious potential epidemics and threats (TB, Ebola, mosquito and tick-borne illness, rabies, bioterrorism, chemical hazards, food poisoning, etc.), chemical hazards, and bioterrorism. And, for 13 years, as my colleagues and I have worked every budget season to educate legislators and attract press attention, the federal share of its budget has dropped, and state contributions have waxed and waned, a step or two forward, two steps or three back. With each shift in legislative leadership, we have to persuade a new crop, and they retire or fall to scandal, we start all over again. Each time, more essential staff are eroded away, retiring seeking stabler lives elsewhere and taking hundreds of years of collective expertise with them.
I almost built my career around it, but my rapid succession of tumors caused me to abandon my plans to become an infectious disease specialist. But, still, I have stuck to the original foundation.
This was the worst year. This year, I put in more effort than I have in a long time. The Massachusetts CDC is beginning to show the cracks that my colleagues and I have long warned would appear. We hear a new desperation of our hard-working friends on the inside as they struggle to maintain our defenses. This new threats have emerged, such as West Nile Virus, new Borrelia species (a group of tickborne illnesses that includes Lyme); Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, and Ebola; old diseases have reappeared (measles, mumps, whooping cough--'thanks,' anti-vaxers!) or morphed into worse monsters (multi-drug resistant tuberculosis); terrorists have attacked (marathon bombers). I really thought that we had an iron-clad case. The rank and file of the legislature seem to have been persuaded, but those at the top are focused only on indiscriminate fiscal austerity even as a terrifying TB crisis took place in Speaker of the House Robert DeLeo's own district, Winthrop (http://commonhealth.wbur.org/2016/04/tb-cuts-zika-ebola).
Yesterday, the Massachusetts House Ways and Means Committee budget recommendation for the Institute for FY17 came out at $12.2 million (3% of a total Massachusetts state budget of $40 billion). This has dropped from the inadequate $14.1 million in FY15. The Institute, instead being able to respond to infrequent by inevitable public health disasters by getting staff to work overtime and keep the Institute running well 24/7 for weeks, can, at best, limp along 24/5. There can be no cavalry to ride quickly to the rescue, since the CDC in our region is the Institute.
I will recover. I always do. My main partner in the endeavor, Cynthia Tschampl, and her boundless energy, will rally me again. Ways and Means may be stingy, but there is an amendment to push (thank you Rep. Cambell! https://malegislature.gov/People/Profile/LDC1) in the House, and the Senate to persuade.
If you live in Massachusetts, go to http://www.wheredoivotema.com/bal/MyElectionInfo.aspx and find your Massachusetts representative. Then, click on the link to get their contact info. Call and leave a message or e-mail them. Tell them you do not feel safe with our public health system disarmed and ask them to sign on to Cambell's amendment for a $13.1 million dollar budget for the State Public Health Laboratory Institute by contacting Sascha Alach in Rep. Campbell's office before 2:00pm this Friday the 15th, or at least by Friday the 22nd by e-mailing email@example.com or calling x8463. And you can contact Ways and Means Chairman Dempsey (email@example.com / 617-722-2990) and Speaker DeLeo (email@example.com / firstname.lastname@example.com) and tell them this cannot continue.
And be well, everybody,

About Carla Ciuffo
I'm a New Yorker transplanted to Nashville and have lived in the south for the last six years. My work lies somewhere between illustrative narrative, photography, and collage. Imagery is stripped down to its most basic elements, light and texture. Details are taken away then integrated back into the artwork to shape new composite works. Forever analyzing the enigma of being human, I continuously construct and deconstruct the boundaries of my photographic world. Work can be found in collections and corporate installations in New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris and Nashville. Representation: Tinney Contemporary, Nashville TN | James Gallery, Pittsburgh PA

The problem when you've created a great invention is that you probably look forward towards to make income from it. However , unless you are undoubtedly a manufacturer and / or maybe a distributor a person will have to authorization the invention rights to another venture. And if one do that, folks might steal it and it will most likely no longer often be protected by each of our law. Here, operating in this article Which i will share a few insider tips on how to stay clear of that. Keep learning. product patent
First. let us see methods the Intellectual Property Legal applies to allow them to inventions.
According to actually the substitute secret regularions revealing the actual secret as a way to the plenty will result in falling the protects to all of the secret. According to the patent law, if you disclose resources of the actual invention and the public and you may haven't received a patent, you provide one new year from a new time among disclosure to positively apply for patent insurance.
But how can the public protect our invention? You'll have two or more options. Document a Provisional Patent Software program or use a nondisclosure agreement. So that you can file a Provisional Clair Application your own personal invention has to be patentable so in the case it's not, you probably are left using the option of use of Nondisclosure Deals which consists to coerce the concern you happen to be about towards share secrets with, to make sure you agree to successfully sign the particular agreement. new product ideas
To data file a Provisional Patent Method means that do your design qualifies concerning a patent. It might take just a few time to file the particular application furthermore acquire -Patent Pending- placement. This may well cost a about $110 if owners are an individual maybe a nominal company. Filling the app is painless but just to get sure assume some statutory advice after an pro. InventHelp TV Commercials
If a new invention is generally not patentable though, you actually have the very option to convince currently the business your organization will generally be working with, to warning a Nondisclosure Agreement (otherwise called a good solid disclosure agreement). Then shoppers can safe and sound share your entire invention secrets. If they use your amazing secret obtaining your permission you in many cases can sue these people. There can be found many Nondisclosure Agreement formats but generally they come with the appropriate information: What is while what is actually not confidential information, obligations of the consuming party in addition time periods of time.
If that other festival does genuinely agree in which to sign the Nondisclosure Acceptance then you can do not returning to share sensitive trade keys. Disclose budgetary and "around' the secret information. Assuming the different kinds of party has knowledge of what the invention does and what is one particular cost they will quite likely sign a nice nondisclosure concur if these firms like some sort of idea.

This article was originally published on nphawks.com.
Seasonal breaks are a time for students to relax and not think about the heavy workload they left at college. Many may travel down south to enjoy the nice weather and beaches.
Five members of the State University of New York at New Paltz field hockey team went to Florida over the past winter break, but not to enjoy the sunshine.
Through an organization called Habitat For Humanity, senior Erin Landy, juniors Megan Gangewere, Hayley Kim, and Justine O'Reilly and freshman Kaitlyn Gunter went to New Smyrna Beach, Florida to help build a house that a family will stay in once construction is complete.
Kim discovered the volunteer opportunity and the Collegiate Challenge program that Habitat For Humanity offered and asked her teammates on a bus ride if any of them would be interested in participating.
"I needed volunteer hours for graduate school," Kim said. "That was my first motivating factor and after that, I was just really excited to go down and help build some houses. "
Landy decided to go because "it sounded like a cool volunteer trip," but described the experience for her and her teammates as "a lot more rewarding than we thought it was going to be."
Gangewere wanted to participate since "it was a different opportunity than something local and it was hands on." O'Reilly was interested as soon as she heard about the opportunity on the bus.
Gunter was looking for volunteer opportunities on her own and decided to partake in Habitat For Humanity because it "sounded fun and [she] wanted to build stuff."
Although their time was shortened due to a series of flight cancellations and delays, the Hawks stayed in New Smyrna Beach from Jan. 10-18.
Prior to the trip, none of the Hawks had any building experience. In fact, of all the tools the group would utilize during their time volunteering only Gangewere, who is a mechanical engineering major, had any practice with them.
"I was familiar with most of the tools from classes I've taken, but I never had prior on site building experience," Gangewere said.
The house is being built in a community where a number of other houses were already under construction or are completed. The Hawks worked on the house for about six hours each day they were down there.
When they first arrived, there was just plywood and support beams standing where the house would be. By the time they left, exterior walls were completed on all four sides of the house, as well as the first wall of the garage.
While there the Hawks also reinforced the support beams with hurricane strips, put up trusses for the roof, worked on the interior walls and hammered in a nail every four inches in every piece of wood in the house. The project manager would come by and check in on the construction, and he frequently asked the Hawks to redo some of the work they had completed in order to pass a scheduled inspection.
"He was very strict and everything needed to be perfect," Landy said. "[The houses] are quality and better than other houses that construction companies build."
"We would almost put something up and [the project manager] would run over and say 'Nope! You have to do one more thing.' It was the smallest thing, but if we didn't do it we wouldn't pass the inspection," O'Reilly added. "We had to go around and check every wall, one day we did so five times. [The project manager] told us after the inspection that it went perfectly and we passed no problem. We all felt really accomplished."
The finished project will feature a one-story house with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen as well as a full garage. The house will be completed by other volunteers over the next few months and will be the home of a family that will join dozens of other families already living in the community.
While there were regular volunteers who came by and helped out on certain days, there were plenty of instances where it was just the Hawks working on the house.
During these days, each student-athlete fell into an unofficial role in order to be as efficient as possible, a strategy the Hawks credited to their experience from working as a team on the field.
"We had to work together to put the plywood for the walls up," Gunter said. "We needed at least three people and we had to be careful to not drop it on each other's fingers. But once we got the hang of it, it was pretty easy."
"We had a system going where three people would get the plywood, one person had the nail gun and another person would be behind hammering in any nails that needed to be in more," Landy added. "It's funny because we just kind of automatically assign roles. It just happens naturally for us."
After a hard day of work, the Hawks would spend their free time going on adventures that included activities such as visiting national parks and kayaking.
"Every day we had something to do," O'Reilly said. "We were never just sitting at the house."
Gunter noted that both building the house and going on adventures with her teammates was a great bonding experience.
"You spend a lot of time together and it makes the relationships stronger," she said. "You're around each other 24/7, so you have to like each other by the end of it."
When asked if they would consider volunteering for Habitat For Humanity again, each of the Hawks immediately expressed interest in reliving the experience.
"We've already talked about going back down there," Gangewere said. "Everyone was so nice and welcoming and are just genuine people that care about what they're doing. We saw how much they were excited about this program and everything that they're working towards."
Kim highly recommends the program for teams as a way to grow closer and work together.
"I think it's such a great team bonding experience," she said. "Spending a week with your team and building houses; it's the ultimate way of communicating and growing as a team."

Fudge victory?
So I wrassled with the candy thermometer and the soft ball stage today in a good-hearted attempt to make my sister-in-law one of the few sweet things she likes for her birthday. It's alarming to me that such people, people who don't eat dessert, exist alongside the rest of us normal people and we may never know it. Why peanut butter fudge for her birthday on Thanksgiving? She had a surprise party closer to the actual day, but we always do family things, too. And she had the misfortune to be born during deer season, so it's impossible to plan anything else. Thank goodness for national holidays which take precedence over deer camp. Most of the time.
Anyway, as I was wrasslin' all the ingredients together, I was really sorry I had never helped my mom make this. And even sorrier I couldn't just call her to ask her in-depth opinon on low and medium heats and when to cover or uncover and what it means for the steam to dissolve the sugar crystals on the side of the pan. (All you "cooks" out there just ignore this, please, I can't help it that my food mainly comes from the frozen food section.) Trying to maintain the traditions is just so stressful because it feels really important to be perfect. So much depends on the peanut butter fudge (or pralines, or fruit salad, or mashed potatoes). I was supposed to have more time with her to learn these things, and we didn't spend our time in the kitchen. This fudge is like a cornerstone of my holiday, so I have to get it right, but I'm not sure I made it this time. I did learn some important lessons for next time.
1. I inherited my mom's entire kitchen. The next time I try this, I'm going to use the pan she used. Duh! I didn't come to this conclusion until I was boiling out of my pan. Consequently, I'm almost certain I missed soft ball stage.
2. Making candy is dangerous business. Boiling sugar stuff sticks immediately and burns. It burns.
3. Cursing helps, even if it's under your breath.
4. Liquid peanut butter fudge tastes good. The sugar high also makes everything better.
5. A watched pot never goes from boiling to lukewarm...or it takes a long time, anyway.
6. Never tell someone you're going to make them a special treat unless you're certain you can do it. If the peanut butter fudge doesn't set right, the disappointment will be crushing. Not hers. Mine. I had such visions of perfection!
Oh, well, time to move on to something I know I can make...apple dumplings! Yum!

Redacted Tonight – Watch Series 2 all in a row
By Dark Politricks
Redacted Tonight
If you are still not getting your news from the Internet and instead watching the big 6 networks go head to head with the same guff you are NOT being informed about what is really happening in this world.
I have just realised I have written over 500 articles for this site so far so I am really happy. I have had hosts, free servers and other globlist tools like Facebook and Google cut me off, delete blogs and YouTube channels without any reason. So I really appreciate any support my readers can give me even if it is just visiting my advertisers from Google…..or giving me a few quid each month on a rolling PayPal subscription.
Your support helps keep this alternative news site alive and gives me a reason to write through the pain of a broken shoulder.
Redacted Tonight should be on your TV / YouTube watch list. If it isn't try this site to see if I have put any of their shows from Friday night up to show people.
I try to show as many of their videos as possible and whether RT America has been labelled a Russian Agent or not it does not matter to me.
I doubt I can get into US soil anyway, unless it was through an extraordinary rendition in an orange jump suit. Just looking at our new UK/US visa system and the crimes of Moral Turpitude, that allows me to have committed incest or Manslaughter but not have been cautioned at the age of 16 for smoking some weed is pathetic.
The list is here and worth a read before you plan your trip to the USA.
I don't think comedian Lee Camp is a Russian Agent nor many of the other presenters of shows on the channel including Larry King. Can you imagine Larry King doing dead drops to his Russian handler at night in Central Park.
However if you have not had a chance to see the 2nd series of the show have a watch and see exactly what you are missing and the reasons why they were put on this stupid list. They don't tell lies unlike MSNBC and CNN
The YouTube description for this video is:
Lee Camp explains that lying to kids about Santa Clause then indoctrinating them into the lie when they're older sets the stage for large scale societal acceptance of lies.
Correspondent John F. O'Donnell joins Lee at the desk to discuss the recent fate of the EPA and correspondent Natalie McGill shows how our veterans are disrespected via subpar medical care.

(1963) Arborophila rufogularis intermedia (Blyth).
Arborophila rufogularis intermedia, Fauna B. I., Birds, 2nd ed. vol. v, p. 391.
This Arakan subspecies ranges from Assam, South of the Brahma¬pootra and East of the Dibong, through Manipur, Lushai Hills and the Chittagong Hill Tracts to the Arakan Yomas, while East it extends through the Chin Hills to the Kachin Hills and the Yunnan Mountains (A. r. euroa).
In the Assam Hills it was quite a common bird, breeding between 2,000 and 6,000 feet in almost any kind of forest or jungle. The favourite haunt is undoubtedly rather stunted forest between 3,000 and 4,000 feet where the trees are small, not too close, the undergrowth scanty rather than otherwise, and the open glades and banks of streams numerous. At the same time I have found nests or had them shown to me in dense evergreen forest with almost impenetrable undergrowth. Often they haunt bamboo-jungle or mixed bamboo and grass, while at other times they may be found breeding in secondary growth and in among the weeds and cotton-bushes in cultivated patches surrounded by forest.
As a rule they prefer to nest in grass or thin undergrowth in forests, and in Laisung they nested occasionally in beds of a large and very virulent stinging-nettle mixed with a little long grass.
The nest varies greatly. Of course it is always on the ground, but it may be just a collection of leaves and rubbish with a hollow scraped in the centre, a scrape in the ground, either roughly lined with leaves and grass or with a neat compact lining of well inter¬woven leaves and grass. At times also a still better home is furnished for the eggs, especially when the scrape is made in among the roots of grass, whether green or withered. A hollow is scraped out by the birds in among the roots where the grass grows fairly thickly ; this is beautifully lined, and then the surrounding grass is cleverly interwoven with other stems and blades of grass so as to form sides all round the nest and a complete or semi-complete canopy over it. Not content with this, the female then forms a tuimel a few inches or a yard or more in length through the grass to the nest ; sometimes this tunnel is a well constructed, well covered affair, but I have seen one which was really ridiculous, the grass being simply bent over here and there where it grew conveniently, and though, from the marks, the bird evidently went in and out of her nest by this path quite regularly, the tunnel could not have screened her from view in any way.
The scrapes vary from about 7 to 9 inches in diameter, the best nest-pads being about 6 inches across, while the interwoven grass forms a chamber about 9 to 12 inches in diameter by rather more in height.
The mouth of the tunnel seems to be generally closed by the birds with growing grass, to which a few extra bits may be added. When the bird is absent it is always closed but often also as she enters to sit she closes, or partially closes, the entrance behind her.
Sometimes the nest is entirely unconcealed and at other times it is well hidden in scrub or grass or occasionally by an overhanging rock or boulder.
The breeding season is a long one and I have taken eggs from the 4th April to the 3rd August, but most eggs are laid in May and June.
The normal clutch seems to be four to six and very seldom seven. The Nagas all say that the birds do not lay more than six and some times only three, and these men are such accurate observers of nature that I have no doubt they arc correct.
One hundred and fifty eggs average 39.2 x 29.8 nun. : maxima 44.0 x 31.0 and 43.1 x 82.0 mm. ; minima 38.4 x 26.6 mm.
The male is monogamous and is a very good husband and father, but takes no share in incubation and only helps with the nest when this is of the chamber type, when he assists the female in pulling down and interweaving (matting together would be a more correct term) the grass of which the walls and roof are formed, A pair of birds bred in a ravine near my bungalow in Gunyong for four years. The first year some Nagas netted the bird and took the eggs, but on her release in the ravine she again laid in almost the same spot, bringing up her brood of four quite safely. She always laid four eggs, but one year she had two broods, and the whole ten birds kept together until the following year. Incubation in her case took twenty or twenty-one days and began with the laying of the third egg ; the male never sat, so far as I could ascertain, but was generally in the vicinity of the nest.

When: Sat., July 20, 11:55 p.m. 2013
Cleveland Cinemas' Late Shift series comes to the Capitol tonight at midnight with the 1979 Steve Martin comedy The Jerk. Martin plays Navin R. Johnson, the adopted son of a black sharecropper. He's an utter imbecile who struggles to make his way in 1970s America with new jobs new adult experiences. You've probably seen snippets of this one on AMC — before AMC was really trendy — but it's basically a bunch of Steve Martin gags and antics from his 1970s stand-up routines that he converted into a screenplay when he realized he'd better make a movie or else fade into comedy obscurity.

We had done some research and knew that we would at least get Seasonal Passes to Universal - if you go twice in a year, it's worth it. We decided that morning to get Geoff a full Annual Pass. Mainly for the parking since we may go up just for lunch/dinner at City Walk.
After we had our passes in hand, our first stop was Harry Potter Land!
|Islands of Adventure
We've been to Harry Potter before, so we were just exploring a bit. The ride inside the castle isn't my favorite. I discovered though that you can ask to just go on a Castle Tour, which allows you to go through the line without getting on the ride - so great!
We did go on Dueling Dragons - Geoff survived quite nicely, even though he hates roller coasters. It's a little sad they can no longer race.
For lunch we hit up Three Broomsticks. They have a good set-up there. It seems like it's what they modeled Be Our Guest at New Fantasyland after. You get in line and are directed to a register. From there you go to a designated pick-up area, then are directed to a seat.
Geoff opted for the Fish & Chips:
|Fish & Chips
And I got the chicken:
Both options were really tasty. It was nice to not have to resort to fried food for my option.
Of course, it wouldn't be lunch at Three Broomsticks without Butterbeer!
Mmm, so good. This was our first time trying Three Broomsticks and I thought it was really good. I'd definitely go again.
We spent a little more time walking around the rest of Islands of Adventure.
We spent a decent amount of time standing on the bridge and shooting riders of the flume ride with water. It was hilarious.
We eventually decided to make our way over to Universal Studios. We waited for the Simpson's ride. I'm not a Simpson's fan, so clearly I was not the target market for that ride, I didn't enjoy it much.
We also hit up the MIB ride. I love it. We would have rode it again, but the locker situation was a bit of a mess. I made a note to self to not bring a bag the next time we went since most of their rides don't allow you to have any bags.
A pretty laid back day at Universal Studios. It worked pretty well for us, it's nice to be able to go up and not feel like you have to do everything that day. I'm sure we'll be back soon!

The Art of Turning: Alex Lopez Having a Time
There is something primeval about watching someone turn on a snowboard. It is such a simple manuever, but when done correctly it is completely mesmerizing. Alex Lopez is one of those rider that can do it right and watching him hunt down transitions, seek sidehits and surf the snow of Mt. Bachelor is a scene that we can watch all day. This trumps the misconception that you need to leave the ground in order to have a great time on the mountain.Thank you Pete Alport and Alex Lopez. This is perfect.

"One beautiful Sunday afternoon, eight strangers show up at The Addison House. They all have different backgrounds, different personalities, different appearances, yet each desires the same thing: to win 50,000 Simoleons. The rules are simple - simply survive in the house, perform the tasks assigned to them, and try to get along with everyone. At the end of the week, each Sim has to vote for one Sim to eliminate. The Sim with the most votes leaves The Addison House and their shot at 50,000 Simoleons.
"But there is a twist - The Addison House is (in)famous for being haunted. Fifty years ago, Asher and Christine Addison were a seemingly-happily married couple living in this very house. No one knows why Christine murdered her husband one day, locking him in their fire-lit cellar and ignoring his screams as he burned to death. Christine went to prison and their house became a bit of a tourist trap. Some say they can hear Asher's screams, that they feel watched, or that they feel sudden intense heat on their skin. Others say it's all psychological and the 'ghost of Asher' is purely a myth, having felt nothing on their visits.
"Regardless of what the contestants may believe, they will have to try and live in this house for eight weeks in hopes of winning 50,000 Simoleons. Let's meet our contestants.
Traits: Brave, Couch Potato, Frugal, Mean-Spirited,
Basics: She's a hard-working girl looking for love, and she'll beat you up if you call her fat.
She wants the money to: Own her own business corporation.

He wants the money to: Build a nature lover's resort with a swanky bar onsite.
Traits: Brave, Savvy Sculptor, Cat Person, Snob, Good Sense of Humor
Basics: He's an artistic emo kid who loves his two fluffy cats and his old-school slapstick comedy DVDs.
He wants the money to: Move out of his parents' basement and rent the perfect apartment.
Name: Rocco Hodges
Traits: Can't Stand Art, Eco-Friendly, Excitable, Frugal, Slob
Basics: He's a self-proclaimed no-nonsense geek who hates reality show contestants and is only here for the money (as evidenced by his thought bubble.)

(On right)
Name: Lara Valle
Traits: Genius, Good, Handy, Nurturing, Vegetarian

She wants the money to: Have a great big garden and a small quaint house to live the old-fashioned way.
Traits: Bookworm, Can't Stand Art, Good Kisser, Inappropriate, Vehicle Enthusiast.
Basics: He's weird and nothing he says makes sense. Rumor is he's a good kisser but no one has dared to see for themselves if it's true.
He wants the money to: We don't know. He stated his answer in Klingon and we haven't deciphered it yet.
Traits: Artistic, Good Kisser, Neurotic, Perceptive, Schmoozer

It says plenty about Chelsea's dominance of Arsenal in recent years that, even during this nightmare campaign, they still managed a comfortable 2-0 win in September.
Chelsea are undefeated in their last eight competitive clashes against their London rivals.
New boss Guus Hiddink beat Arsenal 4-1 at the Emirates in 2009 but don't expect the same result on Sunday.
Though Chelsea are unbeaten under the Dutchman, they have only won one out of five Premier League games, and sit precariously four points above the relegation zone. Arsenal, on the other hand, are top.
Blues captain John Terry said the signing of Petr Cech would be worth 12 to 15 points to the Gunners, and he's been proved right.
The experienced goalkeeper has improved Arsenal's defence no end, and they have conceded just six at home all year.
Chelsea striker Diego Costa has rediscovered form with five goals in his last five matches in all competitions, but he'll have his work cut out against the consistently solid Cech.
While 13 places separate these two, I think it will be a lot tighter than that on Sunday.
In the past four clashes between these two at Emirates Stadium, three of them have been goalless, with both sides happy to avoid defeat. Hiddink would be delighted with the same result again – and I don't think Wenger would be too upset either.
Even in this unpredictable season, a home draw against the champions is one point gained, rather than two dropped.
Betway offer 5/2 for the draw, which is where my money is going.
Given the lack of goals in north London between these two, and the way Chelsea set up for a 0-0 at Old Trafford just after Christmas, I can't see this being a high scoring game.
For spread bettors I would suggest selling total goals at 2.6 with Sporting Index.
Draw 5/2 (Betway)
Sell total goals 2.6 (Sporting Index)

Just a quick note to let you all know that I have been working on this all day! It would have been easier to buy a card with a gift certificate to some where but nooooooo... I had to finish this in hopes of giving it to my mom as her Mother's Day gift. It's a nightmare! I will post pictures tomorrow. I'm still not done. I'm tired and want to go to bed but these cookies haunt me. I have to finish them. *sigh*

She did a super job! I used to make all our cakes, but now I take the lazy way out and just make cupcakes. I tried to get my oldest daughter to take some cake decorating classes like I did, but she is just not interested. She likes to cook, not bake.

Tamils are not Dravidians.
A new blog in Tamil is started by me exclusively to counter the talks that Tamils were originally Dravidians.
The link is given in the side bar and can be accessed at http://thamizhan-thiravidana.blogspot.com
Already a similar thread is going on in this blog in English. There will be additions to it every now and then. But the new blog in Tamil is mainly addressing the Tamils to counter the propaganda that Tamils trace their ancestry to Dravidians who were supposed to have lived in the Indus valley. A multi-pronged analysis is being done to lay bare the fact that Tamils originally belonged to where they are now - in the South of India.

I know this topic has been touched on many times, but how do the rest of you work out your rates? Unlike other industry's it's quite hard to know how to price yourself. Do you find out what other people in your area charge and base yourself on that? Do you feel comfortable asking other mua's what they charge?
For instance, what is a sensible rate to charge for :
A glamour shoot
Fashion shoot
make-up for a hairdressing submission
fashion show
music video
Do you stick to half day and full day rates, because when I have stated this I am asked for an hourly rate instead. And have you changed your rates slightly to coinside with the credit crunch?
I know I have asked a lot of questions but any imput would be appreciated!
Posted 23 Sep 2009

I used to charge an hourly rate and soon found that it was harder to charge a half or full day as people would only pay for and hour or 2. Now i only charge half or full day, except for portfolio shoots done in my husbands photography studio, they are a set price per person and included in the portfolio price. My prices have actually just gone up, but i did research other MUA in my area and set my prices inline with the average of them all. I did not have a lot to compare to as there are not as many MUA down this way (professionals anyway) You will have a lot more to compare with in London. I am happy to let you know my prices if you PM me. Remember my prices will be alot lower than MUA prices in london.

Thanks so much for your reply. It's very hard, as no one wants to let everyone else know their rates! It's all too secretive, and the other thing within this industry is nobody ever wants to tell anyone how to promote themself, who to contact etc because they feel they are helping the competition. I really appreciate you coming back to me.

The truth is that homeschooling is not about making your children into college professors or religious robots. Parents that homeschool do so for a myriad of reasons. Religion, academics, and morality are just a few. These reasons may not even be the most important for some homeschoolers.
The first and most important in my opinion, is time. Your family schedule is completely open. You, as the parent, decide what is important to your family and can fill your schedule with activities that reflect personal beliefs and goals.
Another key advantage to homeschooling is religious, spiritual, and moral freedom. I have heard many parents that are concerned with images and content in media. If your children are in PS (public school) it is very difficult if not impossible to censor exposure of "negative" media they get from peers and staff. PSers have to use the time they have with their kids to combat these concerning influences. I'm not only writing about religious influence, but also about things like sex, lying, drugs, disrespect, and their like.
I'll be the first to admit that I might err more on the side of sheltering the kids and my husband is more on the side of more exposure. Most of the time we meet in the middle and the kids are exposed to things that are age appropriate (or slightly above). I will also readily admit that being around other homeschooled families does not mean your child will never hear, see, or pick up negative things. My children have had a few very interesting experience with other homeschooled children. The difference from PS is that I have the immediate opportunity to help my children sort through these sometimes difficult situations and guide them back to our family's core beliefs.
The last of the three reasons to homeschool is freedom of curriculum. Every child is different and in my opinion deserves a certain amount of individual attention in their studies. Take my two precious ones as examples:
My son at four-and-a-half was ready to read. He asked me to teach him and we worked 15-20 minutes a day until he was reading on his own. By five years old he was reading level 1 readers. My daughter on the other hand could not be bothered to remember a letter we worked on for several days at four-and-a-half. I took a break and started again with letters at the age of five. Again she wasn't ready. We started yet again at five-and-a-half and that is when she was ready. She started learning letters, began to write everything, and slowly started reading. She is now almost six-and-a-half and reading sight word cards and phonics books.
Without the freedom to tailor my homeschool curriculum both of my kids would be miserable. My son would not be challenged enough and my daughter would not be given the creative outlets that have helped her develop in her own time. I doubt that this ebb and flow of accelerating and slowing down will stop while I homeschool. Homeschooling allows us to adjust to the students current abilities and prepare them for when they hit the gas and speed through a semesters worth of work.
Homeschoolers also get the unique opportunity to choose curriculum that upholds family beliefs and values while still catering to the child's interests and ability.
How important are Art, Music, and PE to your family? These subjects are virtually disappearing in PS. If your child loves these subjects or has a particular aptitude you can make sure that their lessons are filled with these creative outlets.
Imagine you have a child that is certain of their career path. As a homeschooler you can allow her to pursue studies that are needed in that career. She uses her time to sign up for a community college course (our cc allows kids as young as 13 with a parent), internship, or volunteer in that field. Perhaps this time she spends pursuing her goal teaches her that this is the right path and she can then focus on her career more in depth than before. Maybe this time teaches her that she is not passionate about this career choice. Better to find out now then after spending a year and thousands of dollars in college.
So these are my top three reasons to consider homeschooling. There are as many reasons as there are homeschoolers. What are your top three?
happy homeschooling

Oh my gosh! I've been "fighting" ants off and on all winter. They sneak into my kitchen from ... where? I've tried to follow their trails but they just dissappear. And then the ants reappear as if by magic. Lately they have been showing up in the corner kitchen window area. They appeared to be gone last night but this morning there was a clogged ant highway on part of the window sill. It looked like the L.A. freeway system at rush hour.On further inspection, the trail led to one of my potted orchids. There is an entire ant coloney in that orchid! I have been drowning ants ever since I got up this morning and still there are more! Now I'm geting angry because in my attempts to wash the ants off the orchid, the top spike broke. Yes, it had buds. Where's that anteater when I need it? I'd gladly put the orchid outside in the rain if the Flicker would swoop down to dine but the Flicker prefers to yelp at me from the top of a Liquid Amber. GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

My kitchen orchids have ants too. The only weapon in my favor now is Terro Liquid Ant Bait, recently picked up at Emigh Hardware. That stuff is AMAZING and put a huge dent in the kitchen sink area ant population.

oh PUKE! See, this is why I moced away from CA! Ants...*shudder*...just sickening. At elast indiana ants have sence enough to stay outside!!

Well Nickie, I have found ants not to be partial to state; they're
everywhere. I don't mind them at all except when they invade my house or crawl up my pants legs. They're just little food disposals afterall, doing what Mother Nature intended for them to do. We must co-exist.

Back when you were 11 years old and your mum and dad made you sit at the kid's table during big family gatherings? You'd try so hard to be mature and earn that spot with the adults but you were relegated to an undersized chair where your knees constantly hit the bottom of the table and your little cousin would flick food all over you every time they spoke. Despite your attempts to look like an adult you just weren't there yet and even your best efforts couldn't hide the fact that you were an awkward tween.
Spiders' The Technomancer is much like that 11-year-old, it's trying so hard to be a Witcher 3 or a Mass Effect and rather than standing out amongst these epic experiences it instead shows its faults as a much lesser experience.
The games setting is Mars and you are Zachariah, a human blessed with the ability to harness electricity. You are, a Technomancer. Starting out in the Martian city of Ophir, Zachariah learns that he has been betrayed by those he trusts and after escaping, he is thrust into a mission to find a beacon that will once again establish Mars' connection with Earth. Just before you step into Zachariah's shoes, you are put through a character creator and here, right at the start, is where you see the conflict of big ideas versus a small budget. The character creator offers limited number options and no choice to switch to a female. I don't think this has anything to do with not wanting to be equally representative and more to do with not having the available funding to animate and voice an second character.
Jumping into the game you'll find the plot fulfilling, at times interesting, but for all intents and purposes stops short of being captivating. Stiff animations and monotonous voice work hold back The Technomancer from drawing you in. On many occasions, you'll find yourself staring at nothing but a forehead when having a conversation with a companion and is just one mention of many little glitches you're likely to stumble upon in the game.
If you were to look for redeeming features, something that helps pull the game out of "buy in get one half price" territory, it's the combat. While enemies aren't massively different, often quite predictable, the skills you have at your fingertips are done fairly well. Rather than forcing you into one type of fighting style The Technomancer allows players to switch stances on the fly from mace-and-shield guardian to pistol-and-dagger rogue to staff-wielding warrior. All of these stances also allow Zachariah access to his technomancy abilities where he can charge up his weapons and fire off bolts of electricity to his heart's content. The fairly deep skill tree system allows players the freedom to pick and choose where and what they want to truly focus on but at no time is the ability to switch between them all taken away. Unfortunately, while you can develop skills in your skill tree you never truly attain any game changer abilities that freshen up the combat for later on in the game. What you do when you start will invariably end up being what you do at the finish.
As open world RPGs go, The Technomancer provides more than its fair share of side quests to keep you busy. Sure they're mostly predictable in terms of what you're doing — ie: murder this guy, get that thing — but it allows you the freedom to take on a ton more than just the main storyline. Of course, while you can roam the cities of Ophir and Noctis as well as the dusky landscapes of Mars, one can't help but feel that it comes across as rather empty. This might be more of a personal thing, I'm not entirely sure, but even populated areas that had NPCs wandering around felt cold, devoid of any real personality, and just plain lifeless. If that's the tone Spiders was going for then I must have missed the memo because I certainly expected a bit more vivacity to a planet under the siege of greedy corporations bordering on a populace revolt. On the opposite end of the spectrum, however, the environment design itself is spectacularly well done with gorgeous vistas and very distinctive hub areas. It's just a shame that those graphical wonders are so hindered by the lack of life to fill them up.
Spiders does an admirable job of providing depth to The Technomancer when it comes to the sheer amount of character development and customization systems in place. The fairly bland character creator aside, there is still plenty to sink your teeth into from reputation building, weapons crafting, companion recruiting, abilities, talents and more. In this area, despite everything not being done to perfection, The Technomancer belies its smaller budget and looks bigger than it is.
Even in light of its technical glitches, predictable narrative and total personality flatline, The Technomancer isn't necessarily a bad game, it just isn't a good one (in my opinion). It exists as an example of how Spiders dreamed of making an epic, open world RPG but ultimately was limited by its resources. Sadly, in its attempt to be like so many other great RPGs we know and love it loses its chance to be anything unique. As a serviceable RPG to fill the summer void, it might keep the diehards happy but will have a hard time finding an audience that truly cares about it.
