Hello all! I've been lurking here for a while, but I've recently decided I'm not improving as much as I'd like and would really appreciate getting critique.
I've seen so many people learn so much and I know that if I put in that work, I can do it too.
I'm mostly interested in digital illustration, but I would really like to refine my style and bring in an element of realism that I think it's lacking. I also want to get into painting. I've done a couple traditional paintings and found I really enjoy acrylic, so hopefully I'll put some of those up as well.
Okay so I guess here's some of my recent sketches.

There is a certain extent of mess that is acceptable. No one expects to find an always perfectly clean house, an absolutely spotless window or an oven with no trace of grease. And after all, you are living in this place and as long as it is not time for an end of tenancy cleaning and you are not moving out, your house or rented apartment could be a little bit messy, unorganised and not always perfectly maintained. However, there are some situations that are so gross that you need to take care of right now, on the instant. They are unacceptable and the truth is that they speak for you more than all the nice words of your friends and family. So don't turn into a neat freak, but start paying more attention to those little things that seem so irrelevant, but actually do matter. And when you notice one of these situations, roll up your sleeves and get to work now.
The hard water stains in the bathroom
are gross. What you indeed do not want is having a bath and noticing the tiles covered with some weird kind of stains that are just awful. Bu there is a scenario even worse than this one. Imagine a friend of yours or a bunch of them coming to your house for a coffee, brunch or dinner and entering that bathroom, which you haven't cleaned in ages. Most probably it doesn't smell all so lovely, as well, but even if it does, there are those stains we were talking about, underneath which you could hardly see the real colour of the tiles. And in this same moment your guest is considering the way he could run from your house screaming. Clean. This is the ultimate solution.
The all covered with dust house
The dust is innocent. The dust is all over the world. The dust is something we cannot get rid of for good. But the dust is something you need to clean at least once a week. And you know what happens, when you don't? Your house is in awful condition. And that is why whoever comes there just doesn't want to touch a thing in this place where this same dust is the master. It's disgusting. The entire idea of an entire house covered with a layer of dust makes me sick. So please, make me a favour, and don't allow it to be so dirty ever.
The stains on the carpets and on the walls
The stains are horrible and every time you or one of your guests spills something you are having a panic attack. However, as soon as you clean them on the instant, it would be an easy-peasy task. So the moment you see the wine flying to your white carpet, get the spirit or the colourless alcoholic drink and roll up your sleeves. Because the one thing you don't want for sure is that big red stain in the middle of the living room.

Humboldt County, California, is internationally known for its gorgeous Redwood forests, ornate Victorian architecture, and beautiful camping sites ideal for hiking, fishing, and sightseeing.
….Oh, and also weed. Lots and lots of weed.
With the perfect ecological and social climate for the plant to thrive in, the county might as well be one giant marijuana factory. It has been reported that by 2010, between 15,000 and 30,000 Humboldt citizens grew marijuana or worked for a grower. (The upper limits of that range account for more than 20 percent of Humboldt's population.) Meanwhile, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has identified more than 4,000 growing sites in the county.
With people across the internet on sites like "The Stoner's Cookbook" and Vice experimenting with pot-infused booze, it didn't take long for folks around these parts to ask Humboldt Distillery, the county's first micro-distiller, when it would start making weed vodka. "A lot of people have joked about [a marijuana spirit]," says Humboldt's owner and master distiller, Abe Stevens. "People have hinted that they'd really like something like this. I can't ignore the consumer demand." So Stevens created Humboldt's Finest, the first widely available cannabis-infused vodka to hit the market.
However, there's a catch: No one will actually get high from this strange, delightful spirit. Sure, Stevens was born in Humboldt. And, yes, he admits to a toke or two in the past. ("Now that I'm almost 40, I'm not really out there having as much fun as I used to," he says.) And with dual degrees in chemistry and biochemistry from the University of Chicago, he surely has the ability to make alcohol that will get you stoned. But standing between consumers and a true "pot-vodka" is the U.S. government.
"Even if we were in Colorado, where recreational marijuana is legal; or even if we sold it here as a medicinal product, we're still federally regulated," Stevens explains. "As long as marijuana is illegal on a federal level, it's not likely going to be approved [to be used] in an alcoholic product."
And the government is serious about making sure there's no THC in his booze or even anything hinting at weed in his packaging. "We had to send samples of our products into government approved labs to make sure that no one was gonna feel anything funny beyond the normal alcohol content," Stevens says. "We specifically weren't allowed to use pot leaves on the label—no drug references,"
So what is he making? Thanks to the federal Farm Bill of 2014—which legalized hemp cultivation in the United States—Stevens can now infuse his vodka with hemp, which has a THC content of less than 0.3% on a dry weight basis. For comparison's sake, marijuana has an average THC content of 10%, with some rare strains as high as 30%. Stevens further differentiates the two: "When we call our Humboldt's Finest 'cannabis infused vodka,' technically, both hemp and marijuana are cannabis sativa. We use [hemp and cannabis] interchangeably, but it is hemp that we are using, not marijuana."
Still, his creation retains many of the qualities of the real-deal sticky stuff. "For people who are familiar with what fresh cannabis smells like, it definitely has some of that character," Stevens admits. "I would describe it as herbal or botanical in aroma. The flavor is a little more modest."
Actually, from an aroma and flavor profile standpoint, the liquid might have more in common with beer than marijuana. It smells a bit like a cross between a piney, floral west coast brew and your favorite stoner's unwashed sweatshirt. "There are a lot of similarities between hops and cannabis, so some people who have tried it think it has an IPA beer aroma," Stevens concurs.
Ultimately, the product might likely appeal more in the long term to adventurous connoisseurs than to frat guys turned on by gimmicky pot-themed novelties. "We have gone to some food and beverage trade shows and poured samples, and a lot of people—even without knowing what it was—really liked [the vodka's] unique character. I do imagine there will be a lot of people who like its botanical character. It's an appealing aroma and flavor that seems to work really well in cocktails."
Stevens has a point here: the beverage is probably best served in mixed drinks as a substitute for gin, considering its herbaceous intensity and resinous, piney flavor. In fact, Stevens did at first consider formulating the product as a gin, but ran into more red tape from Uncle Sam than was worth cutting. "With the federal requirement that juniper has to be the predominant character [in gin], it made it hard for us to get the hemp quality to be noticeable," he says, sounding less like an entrepreneur, and more like a scientist on the quest for perfection.
"If it was purely business[-motivated], we would have done [a cannabis vodka] from the very beginning. I imagine it would have been a much easier product for us to start with than our traditional vodka or rum. But I've been working on it for awhile. I'm sure we could have released it sooner, but I've been dragging my feet on it because I wanted to make sure that our mainline organic vodka and our spiced rum have a chance to get out there on their own merits." Spoken like a true distiller.

Growing Potatoes
Learn how to plant potatoes in your garden with this simple step-by-step guide.
Materials Needed
- seed potatoes
- enriched soil
- egg crates
- string
- shovel
- straw or other dry mulch
Step 1: Chit Potatoes Before Planting
2011, Dorling Kindersley Limited
"Chitting" potatoes requires gardeners to give potatoes an early start by growing them inside. Do this by placing the seed potatoes with their "eyes" facing upward in trays or egg cartons in a warm, light place so the green shoots appear. Once the shoots are 1/4-1/2-inch long, the tubers are ready to be planted. Mid-season and late crops can be planted unchitted. Only plant undamaged tubers.
Step 2: Plant the Potatoes
2011, Dorling Kindersley Limited
Plant chitted potatoes when the soil is a little warmer and dry, later in March or early April. Just dig a trench about 3 to 5 inches deep and plant the chitted potatoes, shoots pointing up, 12 inches apart. The shoots need to be just slightly buried.
2011, Dorling Kindersley Limited
Dig straight, shallow trenches, 2 to 3 feet apart, in prepared soil. Plant seed potatoes 12 inches apart and cover with an inch of soil.
Grow potatoes in an open, sunny site in well-drained soil. Plant early varieties one month before the last frosts are predicted, and main-crop types in late spring.
Dig a trench to a shovel's depth and fill the bottom with loose soil or compost. Plant early varieties 12 inches apart, in rows 20 inches apart, and main-crop varieties 16 inches apart, in rows 30 inches apart. Cover them with soil.
Tubers can be planted into individual holes if only growing a few or in long trenches for larger crops. Plant the chits facing upward.
Fill the holes or trench, covering the tubers with 1 inch of soil. When planting chitted tubers, be careful not to knock off the developing shoots.
Step 3: Add More Soil
As potato plants grow, their stems should be regularly covered with soil or "hilled up." In the early days, this protects the tubers from frost. Later on, it encourages the growth of extra tubers, leading to a larger crop. Hilling up also prevents the tubers from being exposed to light, which makes them turn green and inedible.
Step 4: Protect Plants
When seed potatoes are first planted out, hilling up may not provide enough protection from frost. In colder regions, add a layer of straw to prevent tubers from freezing.
Step 5: Harvesting
When the flowers begin to open, your potatoes are ready to harvest. Use a garden fork to dig them up from below, accessing them from the side of the mound, to avoid damaging them.
Step 6: Storing Your Harvest
Main-crop potatoes can be stored in paper sacks. After harvesting, brush off the soil and dry in the sun for a few hours. Pack away only the perfect tubers in a cool, dry area and check them regularly.

Where's that SIA cancer study?
For nearly five years, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) says it has been trying to determine whether there is concrete evidence of increased cancer risk for people working in cleanrooms.
The SIA even goes as far to say that data is insufficient, and the information does not conclude whether exposure to chemicals or other hazardous materials has or has not proliferated cancer cases.
For too long, this has been an accepted answer from a trade association representing certain companies that have been trying to avoid being responsible for the health and well-being of their employees. Why else would attorneys for IBM Corp. work so hard at keeping the jury from hearing what is undoubtedly damaging testimony in the ongoing cleanroom cancer case?
SIA, along with many industry players, are stalling—sitting back on their ever-swelling laurels, as fab after fab is built—dismissing the leaking underground storage tanks, chemical plumes, birth defects, miscarriages and cancer rates that shatter national averages.
Contamination-control experts and cleanroom end users alike must ask themselves just how valuable a study, if it ever materializes, will be coming from an organization that is biased and has failed to take quick, corrective actions.
The data is insurmountable, and it isn't a question of whether a cancer study is feasible. It is a matter of who can conduct the study comprehensively and fairly with the ultimate goal of preventing this from ever happening again.

The National Genes' Bank (BNG)
The creation of national gene bank is a major national achievement in the field of the protection of genetic resources.
This establishment was established by Decree No. 1748 of August 11, 2003. This institution became operational from the end of 2007.
The decree laying down scientific, administrative and financial of the national gene bank, was published on 29 January 2007.
The national gene bank includes scientific laboratories to study genetic resources, cold rooms that can keep up to 200,000 accessions.
The BNG is equipped with new clusters (cereals and grain legumes, fodder plants; fruit trees, vegetables, condiments and floral crops, forestry and pastoral plants; medicinal and aromatic plants; microorganisms; marine genetic resources and ornamentals).
These structures are likely to consolidate the practical measures to preserve, develop and enhance genetic resources, to verify its origin, to reintroduce extinct species, strengthen national capacities, to achieve complementarity between different scientific institutions and public institutions operating in this field and to organize and define the mechanisms of exchange and trade of genetic resources.
Since its inception the BNG conducted several collection surveys, local genetic resources repatriation requests held in gene banks and international institutions etc. She was able to keep until the end of 2013 more than 30,000 accessions. To date the cluster cereals and grain legumes has allowed since 2007 the collection, the repatriation, the characterization and conservation of 11,759 accessions cereal (hard wheat, soft wheat and barley).
The BNG also coordinates actions of participative preservation of local genetic resources of durum wheat by more than 50 farmers.
Thematic programs
Currently there are seven thematic programs adopted by the Convention on Biological Diversity (Agriculture DB, forestry DB, marine and coastal DB, mountain DB, arid and sub-humid comic's inland waters and island DB).
For more information …
Agricultural biodiversity
The great actions in the agricultural sector that have a direct impact on biodiversity are essentially the following:
- The creation of the gene bank;
- The design and implementation of national agricultural map;
- The Integrated Rural Development program IRDP;
- The Integrated projects for agricultural development and natural resource management.
- The creation program of Botanic Gardens;
Forest Biological Diversity and mountains
Various projects were conducted as part of the forestry strategy. We can mention the projects:
- Forestry Development Projects PDFI, PDFII. ;
- Project integrated forest management FGIF ;
- Project to support the sustainable management of forest ecosystems GEF / GTZ development of forest areas PDZF;
- The implementation of pilot operations of integrated development (IPOID)
- The implementation of the mountainous areas of the North West Development Activities (PDZM) ;
Biological diversity of inland water
Respect to promote the biodiversity in the dams the General Direction of Fisheries has implemented and developed aquaculture in dams where she introduced new species of fish including the Tilapia. A monitoring system of water and species is applied with continuous controls and specific interventions to safeguard biodiversity in these mini ecosystems.
Regarding the Conservation of Water and Soil, a national strategy 2002-2011 was introduced. It has the following objectives: reducing soil loss, the development of the use of surface water used for agricultural development, reducing siltation of dams to extend their operating lives.
In order to, the strategy provides for the development of 700,000 hectares of watersheds; the creation of 1,000 units of small lakes, 4,500 units of recharge facilities tablecloths and spreading, 5500 development works and correction of water and 1,500 hectares reserved lanes to the traditional techniques of gathering water. Note that this strategy is being updated by the services of the DGACTA.
Affecting wetlands in Tunisia, many accomplishments have been achieved in the framework of the national strategy and Action Plan for biodiversity in inland waters. We can remember most of all:
- The realization of a preliminary inventory of Tunisian wetlands
- The start of the first instalment of the national program of rehabilitation and enhancement of coastal sebkhats (Ariana, Sejoumi, Kelibia, Soliman, Mahdia, Ben Ghiadha, Moknine and Korba).
- The restoration of the hydro-biological balance of the Ichkeul lake by the intake of water from the dam Oued Joumine and the implementation of a development project Ichkeul in the Protected Areas Management Project (PGAP) executed by the MEDD in collaboration with the GEF and the World Bank (2002-2008).
- The project of rehabilation of Lac Chikly (important bird sanctuary)
- The implementation of the Med Cost Web project by APAL in the area of Cap Bon (development of Cap Bon Sebkhas, support to NGOs, sanitation, etc.).
- The inscription of 40 RAMSAR sites (and the development of legislative and institutional aspects to promote other sites) ( http://www.ramsar.org/wetland/tunisia ).
- The execution of the project for the protection biodiversity dams and lakes implemented by the Directorate General of dams and large hydraulic works and Bird Friends Association. This project primarily targets the census of living species and the establishment of mechanisms to protect them in an appropriate legal framework.
Furthermore, Wetlands Management Strategy is currently under preparation by the services of the Ministry of the Environment (ANPE).
Biodiversity Marine, Coast and islands
Tunisia has 1,600 km of coastline (including islands), characterized by large diversified natural resources with 60 islands of various sizes and 100 coastal wetlands. Tunisian coastal zone is an area of concentration of economic and human activities (69.2% of the total population). The conservation of biodiversity and sustainable use establish a National challenge.
Tunisia has several marine and coastal protected areas:
- The Zembra and Zembretta Islands, biosphere reserves, ASPIM;
- Galite and Galiton, nature reserves;
- The archipelago of the islands Knaeïss, nature reserve, ASPIM;
- The Islet Chikly;
- The Kuriat islands;
- The Kerkennah island ecosystem.
The creation of the Agency for the Protection and Development of the Littoral (APAL) within the MEDD (1995) helped to promote the study of these areas in order to develop the implementation of the various plans of coastal protection measures ; and this on the following vectors:
- The executive of a program of management integrated by the coastal zones of which we can mention:
- The elaboration of management diagrams for 18 natural coastal areas;
- The elaboration of plans for the occupation of the beaches (rationalization of the operation and management of 27 beaches);
- The studies of perimeters of protection of the littoral sensitive zones by the land control;
- The fight against marine pollution.
- The project of resource protection marine and coastal of the gulf of Gabès (2005/2009); of big interest, it aims especially at the development of planning schemes of urban areas and sensitive zones around, in particular:
- The Lagoon of El Bibane: It includes unique henthiques training in the Mediterranean.
- The Gulf of Boughrara it has exceptional bird in a threatened area by tourism activities;
- The Kneiss islands: it is a rich birdlife site; it enjoys the status ASPIM;
- Kerkennah Islands off Sfax: This site contains an important bird; it is bordered by a single Posidonia seagrass in the Mediterranean, the Herbarium Tigray;
- The oasis of Gabes: this is the last coastal oasis of the Western Mediterranean; it is threatened by the expansion of agriculture, urbanization and livestock.
The objective of the project is to provide a better economic development based on proper management of marine and coastal resources. In addition to studies and management plans, significant steps are taken in the field of exploitation of fisheries resources. One can distinguish: A measures of mitigation of the fishing at the rate of 20 % in the south zone , over-exploited:
- The intensification of marine protection measures in the Gulf of Gabes (remediation project of the Sea of phosphogypsum)
- The installation of artificial reefs along the coast to protect the nesting areas and to form nurseries order to preserve the fishery resources (Herbarium of prosxidonies of Kelibia, the benches of Maamoura / Korba, the polygon of Sousse/ Monastir Kuriat). The same measure has been adopted for the Gulf of Tunis Carthage Cap, Farina Cap, the polygon cap Zebib/ Cani/ farina cap, the barrier reef of Sidi Rais, Ras Fortas polygon/ Ras Lahmar/ Cap Bon and three Gulf sites of Gabes: South Kerkennah, Borj Djilidj (West Djerna) and Ras Tourgueness (East Jerba).
- The protection of the sea in Sfax and development of the coastal area as part of the project Taparoura (2006/2009).
Furthermore, studies and implementation of conservation projects, much research has been carried out to identify the components of marine and coastal ecosystems, including INSTM: those of the coralligenous biocenosis (calcareous concretions coralline algae and shade-tolerant), the seagrass to Posidonia (endemic to the Mediterranean a phanerogam), the isolated banks (flora and fauna aggregation around of large marine rocks) the forests Gystoseries (16 species distributed in the marine environment) and finally island ecosystems.
The biological diversity of drylands and sub-humid:
Tunisia is characterized by agro-ecological features a particularly complex and constraining. They are realized by relatively low rainfall over most of the territory (nearly 94% of the areas fall within semi-arid bioclimatic zones, arid and desert) and a fragile soil, mostly pronounced in the center and south of the country. The study on desertification, conducted on 10.62 million hectares, demonstrated that this whole area is threatened by desertification to different degrees (PAN 1998):
- 11.7% of areas are affected by desertification (1.25 million hectares);
- 39.7% of the areas are moderately affected (4.22 million hectares);
- 17.2% of the areas are little affected (1.82 million hectares);
- 31.4% of areas are deserted (3.3 million hectares).
We estimate the equivalent in grounds lost in approximately 8000 - 10 000 hectares per year. This is to deal with this degradation that the fight against desertification was considered a priority action in Tunisia. Indeed, several activities were conducted to conserve natural resources, reduce soil loss and save the areas affected by desertification.
Cross-cutting themes
The convention has put several intersectoral programs and initiatives that affect several thematic aspects. The following is a description of a few programs:
Studies and Projects
Several studies, programs and projects were carried out relating to the management and conservation of biodiversity. The following are links to some references (not exhaustive):
- Study on the state of desertification for sustainable management of Tunisia RN / Report of the third phase
- Study on the durability of oasis
- National Strategy for Adaptation of Tunisian agriculture and ecosystems to climate change
- Circuit islands
- The inventory of local agricultural genetic resources and developing an action plan for their conservation and enhancement.

Hemel Stags have signed former Catalan Dragons youngster Remy Marginet for their first season in Championship 1 in 2013.
Troy Perkins, Stags head coach, said: "I am really pleased to have signed Remy.
"We have been on the lookout for a quality half-back for a while now and it is great to have a player with some Super League first team experience join our squad.
"He is still young but has come though a good system at Catalan Dragons and he would have learnt a lot from his coaches Trent Robinson and Steve Deakin.
"I played at UTC (Union Treiziste Catalane) just before they went into Super League as Catalan Dragons and I still have plenty of friends down in Perpignan and this I how I was told about Remy wanting the opportunity to play in England.
"I have watched a fair bit of footage of Remy and have been impressed with what I have seen.
"He has a good kicking game, is pretty lively and a real handful when he takes the line on.
"I am looking forward to working with him in pre-season."
Marginet,23, is the sixth player to have signed for Stags over the past few weeks, joining James Howitt, Kazeem Faturoti, Guy Aldam, Ash Fyson and Ben Kavanagh on the books for next season.

The Boulder, Colo., City Council will discuss whether to accept a resolution from its Human Relations Commission that condemns Arizona for its new immigration law and continues a ban on non-essential city travel to the state.
The City Council on Tuesday is expected to discuss the resolution, which says that Arizona's law will create racial profiling and threatens "basic notions of decency."
Arizona's law takes effect July 29 if it survives legal challenges. It requires police to question people about their immigration status while enforcing other laws if there's reason to suspect someone is in the country illegally.
Boulder City Manager Jane Brautigam ordered a halt on "non-essential" city travel to Arizona in May and the new resolution asks city officials to continue the ban. The resolution by the commission, which offers recommendations to the council on matters including civil rights, blasts Arizona's law, saying Boulder opposes "any acts of racism, bigotry, harassment and discrimination."
In April, Denver Public Schools also announced a ban on employees taking district-sponsored work trips to Arizona, saying the community was "outraged" by the state's new immigration law.
Supporters of Arizona's law contend that the racial profiling concerns are unfounded and that the state's policy has been triggered by the federal government's failure to enforce immigration laws.
"While all local and state governments have the right and obligation to provide for the welfare and security of their residents," the resolution states, "the enactment of laws of the type enacted by Arizona create the possibility of institutionalizing a practice of racial and ethnic profiling."
Boulder officials say their decision to outlaw city travel has attracted a lot of attention. Mayor Susan Osborne said she's received more than 2,000 mostly angry e-mails from people nationwide. Since May, almost 600 letters have been sent to the city, with 498 opposing the travel restriction and 81 supporting it, city officials said.

Lisa is a complete hypocrite. She says she votes one way in order to be loyal and not go back on her word (see Penner). Yet the next day she's talking about voting out Malcolm. Then she takes the all-time cop out if things don't go her way that it's "God's will" and either way it's a "win-win" situation.

I currently read on Perezhilton.com the amount of money that reality stars make. He had listed the salaries of all The Hills cast members.
Lauren Conrad: $75,000 per episode
Heidi Montag: $65,000 per episode
Spencer Pratt: $65,000 per episode
Audrina Patridge: $35,000 per episode
Whitney Port: $20,000 per episode
Brody Jenner: $10,000 per episode
Lauren "Lo" Bosworth: $10,000 per episode
Stephanie Pratt: $8,000 per episode
Now as much as I love watching The Hills, I think that is a completely ridiculous amount of pay just for volunteering to having your life taped. If I knew I could get paid that much for having my life taped for that amount of money, of course I'd let a bunch of T.V. cameras come in and invade my life.
Lauren Conrad must make a good chunk of change, look at how much she gets paid an episode. Not to mention they're in Season 4 and she also did Laguna Beach before she went to The Hills.
Is it just me or do you think that these 'reality tv stars' get paid just a little too much?

Zakharova: the Western media need to acknowledge the crimes of the "opposition" in Syria
Such opinion the official representative of the Russian foreign Ministry expressed on his page in the network Facebook.
According to Maria Zakharova, supported by the US authorities, the so-called "moderate" grouping "Harakat Nur ad-DIN AZ-Zinki has been repeatedly accused of numerous killings of civilians, including women and children in Aleppo.
Zakharov calls members of the group "jivotnimi, who used poison gas against the civilian population."
"The American side informed about the incident at the Russian Centre for reconciliation the warring parties in Syria. But, unfortunately, is not the only tragedy, for which there are "moderates" supported by the Washington – said Zakharov.Related posts:

WEST HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — Police in West Haven broke up a party where 18 juveniles and 2 adults were arrested for trespassing in a vacant home.
Police say they received several calls around 9:30 Monday night, about a group of teens that entered an empty house located at 89 Homeside Avenue.
Upon arrival, officers "noted the odor of marijuana" and found 18 teenagers, all under the age of 18, and 2 adults.
Police confronted the two adults, one of whom "refused to obey the commands of police, pushing an officer, resisting his arrest." 19-year-old Artay Buster was arrested and charged with criminal trespass and interfering with police.
18-year-old Candece Howard of West Haven, along with the 18 people under age, were also charged with criminal trespass.
Police did not say if any drugs were seized from the property.
No injuries were reported.

Apr 30, 2013Taken as a whole, Dead Space 3 is far more infuriating than it is bad.
Playstation Official Magazine AustraliaApr 4, 2013Do yourself a favour and play DS3 like a raving masochist, straight off the bat. It's a slick, AAA sequel that's worthy of its place in the franchise. but only if you take the initiative and crank the difficulty. We didn't think it possible, but Visceral has engineered a sequel that will appease old fans and entice new ones, too. [March 2013, p72]
Apr 1, 2013Misfires and all, it's at least commendable that Dead Space 3 makes an effort to exhibit some fresh experimentation into what has become a truly bloated media franchise; plus the combat still shines for the most part. Sadly though, better elements like the crafting system are lamentably set against a mundane and lifeless backdrop that rarely excites, let alone spooks, on the grand level of previous games in the series.

text: Q. You stated in your column (Cars, May 17) that 99 percent of the people prefer cars with automatic transmission. You should have said 99 percent of the people buy cars with automatic, not prefer them. Since the only cars the dealer has in stock are those with automatic, that's what people buy, which means bigger profits for the dealer and the company. I waited about eight weeks to get my last car because I wanted manual transmission. In 1973 I ordered a car with manual and got it in two weeks. The automakers can't do better in 2001? Saying dealers stock more automatics than manuals because that's what people want is not true. D.M., Lemont

Want to become a better runner in the new year?
Of course you do. January 1 inspires most of us to dream big. We'll lose 20 pounds, run regularly, earn that finisher's medal. It's good to set goals: After all, people who make New Year's resolutions are 10 times more likely to achieve their goals than those who don't, says John C. Norcross, Ph.D., a University of Scranton professor of psychology who has studied the follow-through of Resolutionaries. As the saying goes, you can't hit a target if you don't have one.
But dreaming isn't enough, and procrastination will make the new year look a lot like last year. So we've laid out steps you can take right this minute (and later today, and later this week) to set you up for success.

This sturdy light stand extends to reach a maximum height of up to 3metres (10'). The legs unfold to form a base, and two telescopic sections pull out to extend the height.
Each telescopic section is spring cushioned, so if you forget to close the clamp whilst a light or other accessory is mounted on the stand, instead of crashing suddenly down, the stand will cushion the impact slightly by absorbing the momentum with its internal springs.
This larger light stand is very versatile, in that it allows accessories to mount on top of the stand or on the side. For instance, this may allow you to mount a soft box in portrait orientation rather than only landscape.
The removable spigot can be used in 3 ways:
- As a standard light stand clamping point (bolt from the light tightens onto the side to clamp it in place).
- As a 3/8" accessory mount (larger camera accessory screw thread)
- As a 1/4" accessory mount (smaller camera accessory screw thread)
Unpackaged weight: 2kg (approx).

WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. consumers ramped up spending in November on cars, appliances and furniture and made more purchases online, signaling growing confidence in the economy during the holiday shopping season.
The Commerce Department says retail sales rose 0.7 percent, the biggest gain in five months. October's figure was also revised higher to 0.6 percent.
Two straight months of healthy sales suggests steady hiring is encouraging Americans to spend more this holiday season, particularly on big-ticket items.
Auto sales jumped 1.8 percent and furniture purchases rose 1.2 percent. Excluding the volatile categories of autos, gas and building materials, sales rose a solid 0.5 percent in November.
Americans also are shifting more spending to online and catalog retailers. Online and catalog sales rose 2.2 percent last month, the most in nearly 18 months.

One of the handiest parts of mama-hood involves trading childcare; even if it's just once a week, that's three more hours I have to write, or be reminded that I am an adult who has the ability to speak in sentences longer than four syllables. [See also: Baby, no no; Car? Car? Car? Car?; Say bye-bye!] Of course, there then exists the realization that "swap" is a two-way street, which takes us to this past Tuesday where the almost 17-month olds, Cancan and Baby Ruth, found themselves at play in our living room.
The two littles have been playing nicely in the living room for an hour or so. The Parental Unit is giving herself kudos for her most excellent child-rearing skills, when she decides to give them each a snack-time mini-carrot muffin treat. The following ensues….
CanCan: Wabada! Baby Ruth, take my muffin! No, really, I don't want it – let me forcefully cram it into your mouth! Now, now!
BabyRuth: Ga! Ga! I don't want your stinking muffin! Get away! You're mean! Shoo!
CC: Haaaaaaaaaw! Baby Ruth, I insist. Eat my muffin. Here, I'll help you: let me shove it down your throat.
Tears well in Baby Ruth's eyes, for she is not about to eat Cancan's muffin. She begins to cry; at this point the Parental Unit decides to intervene, using such words as "Gentle, gentle" (and other four-syllable sentences), but to no avail. Baby Ruth cries louder. And louder. The Parental Unit decides that she must need comforting, so she picks her up and takes her to the couch.
BR: [Between hiccuping tears] Uh, uh, uh! I just wanted to eat MY muffin …and, and… he wouldn't let me. He made me eat HIS muffin. He stinks!
The Parental Unit doesn't exactly have the most emotionally sensitive of a child, so she's not sure what to do. She must want comfort, the Parental Unit decides, so she rubs her hair, she rocks her slightly, she whispers sweet toddler-nothings into her ear. Meanwhile, Cancan is ready for friendship again, so he toddles over to the couch.
CC: Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi! Want to play with my car? Want to catch the ball? Want to eat the gravel in the backyard with me? Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi!
BR: Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Oh-no-he-di'nt! You did NOT just enter my space. This is a Ruth-only zone, man! Get away from me, booger-head!
CC: Garbalarbadarb. It's okay, Baby Ruth. We're besties. Here, let me pat your legs violently and reassure you of our relationship.
BR: WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! You're not picking up what I'm putting down, buddy. I do not want you in my space, and I certainly don't want your toilet-water hands touching my legs!
The Parental Unit continues to try and soothe Baby Ruth, now cradling the 17-month old in a newborn rocking position. This is a silly idea on her part. The Parental Unit whispers, "Shhhhh, shhhhh," to Baby Ruth in order to produce a calm environment, while Cancan continues to throw punches and reassure her of their friendship. Chaos ensues.
CC: [Grunt, grunt] I know! I'll crawl up on the couch, and sit on the other side of my mama; that way, we can really be friends.
BR: AH! GA BA BA WAHHHHHH!!! You are not hearing me! I don't want to see you! Your proximity makes me ill!
The Parental Unit continues to rock and soothe, rock and soothe, with one arm whilst trying to keep her son away with the other. "Uh-uh, no no," she whispers, in between hushes; Cancan looks at Baby Ruth, he looks at his mama, and he reacts the only way he knows how: he begins to fake-cry violently.
CC: Wah! Wah! Wah! Look Baby Ruth, I am crying sympathy tears for you. Faux cry, faux cry! I'm an empathetic little dude, I swear! Look: I can even match your pain and cry harder. Wahhhhh! Wahhhh! Wahhhh!
BR: [Hiccup, hiccup, hiccup.] Is this really happening right now? Are you MOCKING me? The nerve! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
The Parental Unit is besides herself, so she copes the only way she knows how in a high-stress situation: she laughs. The littles continue to wail for the next five minutes. She texts Baby Ruth's mama to see if she can give her a bottle of milk: a reply "yes" comes in. Handing Baby Ruth a bottle, she cannot get up from the couch now, for she cannot leave the littles alone in a room to fend for themselves. 12 more minutes go by. Then she realizes: maybe Baby Ruth needs her diaper changed!
BR: Uh n mama n baga babaaba. Wahhhhhhh! Who is this lady? Where is she taking me now? And why does that kid want to follow me everywhere I go? Can't a girl get any privacy anymore? Wahhhhhh!!!
CC: Ca ca ca ca ca! Whelp, I'm done crying, but what? We're going upstairs? I love the stairs! Let's play! Mama, I can beat you, watch! [Cancan hustles up the stairs, eager for his room.]
The Parental Unit attempts to change Baby Ruth's diaper.
BR: WAHHHHHHHHHH!!! That's not what I've been crying about! I don't care about my diaper! You are not my favorite person right now, lady! Where's my mama? Ma ma ma ma? [She hiccups and gulps for air.] WAHHHHH!!!!
CC: Bagiwawagigigigigig. And this, Baby Ruth, is my throne. This is where all the magic happens. These are my books. This is my ball. This is my bear. Welcome, welcome.
The Parental Unit places a wailing Baby Ruth on the floor; she should probably call the other parental units by now. Consolation is nowhere to be found.
BR: Ga? Ga. Gaaaaaa. [One last hiccup.] Ga. Well, why didn't you take me up here in the first place? I love oversized stuffed animals that I can slam myself into and hug, over and over again. And books?! Gimme, gimme! My favorite! I am happy! I am in love! I am happy Baby Ruth baby!
Baby Ruth slams herself into the giant Costco bear, comfort gained with each impulsive hug. Cancan, Baby Ruth and the Parental Unit sit on the floor, reading books for the next 45 minutes. And all is calm, all is bright with the world.
And the moral of the story is: Keep Calm and Read Your Book. And Slam Your Body Into an Oversized Bear Whenever Humanly Possible If You Feel Sad. And…
What about you? What's the best conversation – imagined or not – you've heard between children lately? And, more importantly, when was the last time you therapeutically slammed your body into a giant, oversized bear?0

2016 European XFEL Users' Meeting and Satellite Meetings
The European XFEL Users' Meeting is an annual opportunity to strengthen the interaction between the European XFEL project and the scientific user community. The scope of this meeting includes:
- Progress and current status of the European XFEL
- Instrument design developments & advances
- Selected science applications
- Current developments in the field of XFEL facilities
Sample Environments for Biology at XFELs
Date: 26 January 2016, 09:00-17:00
Location: Albert-Einstein-Ring 19, Hamburg - Seminar Room 3.11
The satellite workshop on Sample Environments for Biology at XFELs is organized as a satellite of the 2016 European XFEL Users' Meeting. The day before the users' meeting, we're inviting users with interest in biology sample environments to share their ideas and views with us. The focus this year lies on liquid jets, single particle imaging and the sample environment activities at LCLS, SACLA, SwissFEL and European XFEL. In the last session, there will be time for short contributed talks about new developments in biology sample delivery. There will be sufficient time for discussion.
From Picoseconds to Femtosecond X-Ray Experiments
Date: 26 January 2016, 08:30-18:00
Location: DESY campus, Building 28c, Seminar room FLASH
This workshop seeks to bring together scientists interested in time-resolved X-ray experiments at both synchrotron and XFEL facilities for structural dynamics research on solids and liquids. Recent developments at Petra III now exploit the high X-ay photon flux available with a newly developed high repetition rate (up to 7.8 MHz) detection system, which will also be used at the FXE Instrument of European XFEL. The high X-ray signal quality, which can be now routinely achieved at Petra III at MHz rates, opens up new venues for studies of photophysical and photochemical processes occurring on the sub-nanosecond to sub-microsecond time scales. Some initial studies presented during the workshop point to challenging new research avenues to be pursued the next years, both at Petra III and at European XFEL, and at other local x-ray sources. A suitable laser lab infrastructure at Petra III should serve as an important ingredient for preparation of such time-resolved X-ray experiments using ultrafast optical-only tools beforehand. A discussion round about user needs for time-resolved x-ray studies at the different Hamburg light sources (Petra III, Flash, European XFEL, lab-based x-ray tools) should trigger new ideas on how to further improve the available x-ray sources for the broader scientific user community.
4th Satellite Workshop on Photon Beam Diagnostics
Date: 28 January 2016, 14:00-18:00
Location: DESY campus, Building 5, Main Auditorium
The Satellite Workshop on Photon Beam Diagnostics is organized as part of the European XFEL Users' Meeting, like in previous years. The target of this Workshop is to bring together the experts in FEL Photon Diagnostics, to strengthen existing collaborations and create new ones, to share the latest progress but also to discuss new experimental methods and instrumentation suited as FEL photon beam diagnostics. Last but not least, progress in this field at the European XFEL facility is presented, and there will be sufficient time for discussions.
This time the discussions will particularly revolve around the topic of commissioning which is approaching in 2016 for several XFEL facilities currently under construction.
Status and Science at HED instrument and of the HIBEF UC
Date: 28 January 2016, 14:00-17:30
Location: DESY campus, Building 90, Seminar room ZOQ
The workshop on the HED instrument and the HIBEF UC is organized as a satellite of the 2016 European XFEL Users' Meeting. We will present the current status of the HED instrument with emphasis on the expected setups and early user experiments. Further the status of the HIBEF project in general are presented and linked to the schedule of the HED installation. The recent activities in the US and at DESY are presented. Talks will give an overview of planned instrumentation and science at HED as well as recent achievements at the LCLS.

If your home's curb appeal makes a great first impression, everyone - including potential homebuyers - will want to see what's inside. Check out these simple, low-cost improvements that you can do.
Dress up the Front Door - Your home's front entry is the focal point of its curb appeal. Make a statement by giving your front door a blast of colour with paint or by installing a custom wood door.
Replace Old Hardware - House numbers, the entry door lockset, a wall-mounted mailbox, and an overhead light fixture are all elements that can add style and interest to your home's exterior.
Install Outdoor Lighting - Low voltage landscape lighting makes a huge impact on your home's curb appeal while also providing safety and security. Fixtures can add accent lighting to trees or the house or can illuminate a walking path.
Create an Instant Garden - Container gardens add a welcoming feel and colourful appeal to any home exterior quickly and affordably. You can buy ready-made containers from garden centers or create your own with your favourite plants.
Planter Beds - Add contrast and colour to your home exterior with a new planting bed. When creating a new bed, choose features that will frame your home rather than obscure it.
Add Arbors, Fence Panels, Outdoor Art - Arbors, garden gates, and short sections of decorative fence panels will enhance your garden and the value of your home. Birdbaths, metal cutouts, sculptures, and wind chimes are good choices for outdoor art.
Shutters, Paint, Siding and Trim - An exterior facelift (new paint, siding, shutters, or trim details) automatically transforms the look of a home. Periodic maintenance of that exterior surface is the surest way to keep your house looking its best.
Tile Your Doorstep - Create a permanent welcome mat by tiling your doorstep.
Dress Up the Driveway - If your driveway is cracked or stained or has vegetation sprouting from it, you may want to replace it.
Build a Walkway - Well-designed walkways make your home feel warm and inviting. For a dramatic improvement to a straight concrete path, replace it with a contoured one made of stone or brick. For a less radical upgrade, apply a colored concrete resurfacer to the old walkway, then edge with brick or stone borders. Brick pavers offer traditional, classic beauty to the landscape of any home.

Testimonials about Counselling and Dietitian Services
Below is a sample of recent feedback from a few of our clients.
I have had an ED for 22 years. I have sought many different forms of psychological and nutritional counselling both through the provincial and private systems. In 2009 my life began to completely fall apart in all areas: health, work, socially and emotionally. I made a personal decision to seek private intensive treatment. I found WW online and had several conversations with the director. I flew to brandon, MB in the middle of winter -20 degress with the thought of staying one month...TOPS!! After the first day I was ready to leave, but decided to take one day at a time, one hour, one minute....
I ended up staying 5 1/2 months (3 months in the inpatient program and then 2 1/2 months in semi independent living with a family from church). This enabled me to transition to independent living that would simulate living in my own home.
Going to WW was THE best and most important decision I have ever made in terms of my recovery. Upon leaving I was offered follow up calls. We investigated CBT therapy in my province, but to no avail. Because this type of treatment really worked for me i became an outpatient and was able to access both counselling and dietician support through skype on a weekly basis.

Inspired by a link Fuz sent me from Center of Gravitas
It's called: What is Said. What is Meant.
What the Brit said (jokingly):
"5:45 in the morning-that really is too early to have a friend pick you up...I'll need a taxi."

The best assessment is derived from faculty members' questions about their own teaching experience. Are students meeting your expectations? How well are they mastering a complex concept? Are they developing the "habits of mind" appropriate for your discipline? How well does your teaching approach facilitate learning? Can students demonstrate the skills you have identified as most important? Are they able to apply what they have learned to a novel or more complex problem?
These questions are just a few examples of the kinds of things you may ask yourself when you reflect upon your teaching. Because teaching and learning occurs in a social context, many aspects change over time: your teaching approach may evolve with experience, knowledge in the discipline may change, students' attitudes or expectations change, new technologies emerge that improve communication of complex subjects or allow new forms of interaction, etc. Therefore, assessing effectiveness needs to be continuous, and integrated into your teaching practice as a continual work-in-progress.
It may be helpful to think of assessment as a four-step cycle:
This example illustrates a comprehensive assessment plan that links learning goals, objectives, assessment tools, and a plan for using the results:
The link below leads to a general step-by-step description of how to develop an assessment plan, with examples from Engineering:
The examples below include an assessment plan from the School of Art at the University of Washington, the Standards and Guidelines of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), and Standard Learning Outcomes (SLOs) of the European network of arts institutions, inter}artes. They illustrate how levels of expectations can be linked to learning goals and assessment plans for students' performance-based work:
The following links are examples of assessment plans for English, History, and Linguistics. The link to the University of Delaware's Department of English provides examples from several institutions, and shows how examples of student work can be used as evidence that learning goals have been achieved. The example from George Mason University outlines the student learning goals for a major in History, and describes how the requirements of the major relate to the overall goals. For Linguistics, the San Jose example shows a curriculum map illustrating how the various courses contribute to the learning goals, and how they will be assessed. The University of London example is course-specific, outlining the goals of the course and how they will be assessed:
The example below from the University of Alaska illustrates the goals for a major in Biology and Wildlife, the criteria for assessing whether those goals have been reached, and a plan for how they will be assessed:
Both of the examples below illustrate the expectations for a major in the physical sciences. The Geology example outlines learning goals, and suggests ways they may be assessed. The example from Physics is more comprehensive, and links the goals for Physics majors to the courses that comprise the major, and to a plan for assessing those learning outcomes:
The example below outlines the expectations and goals for Psychology majors at one institution, along with a plan for assessing them. It also includes an example of a survey that could be used to assess whether some of the outcomes have been achieved:
Once you have articulated learning goals, you may be interested in using the templates below for assessing student learning. These tools can be very helpful for applying the criteria you have established for student performance, and for tracking progress reaching your goals.
Templates for Assessment Plans
The templates below provide a framework for getting started, and indicate the elements that should be included in any assessment plans.
Grading rubrics identify the specific, separate traits you wish to evaluate, and student work is evaluated on a scale from high to low. They can help increase consistency among graders, or make the process for individual graders more consistent or fair. They can also help speed up the grading process. Examples:
Test blueprints help to ensure that exam questions reflect your learning goals. Examples:
Curriculum mapping allows faculty to track learning goals across courses or programs. They can help identify gaps, facilitate the integration of courses, and help to target course revisions, and are useful for communicating where in a curriculum various learning goals are addressed. Examples:

ANCHORAGE - Geologists say a small earthquake has rattled parts of southern Alaska.
The U.S. Geological Survey says a 4.3-magnitute temblor struck late Wednesday about 2 miles east of Willow. The shaking from the quake generated at least 31 reports on the survey's Web site.
The earthquake centered about 40 miles north of Anchorage.

|Condition or disease
|Heroin Dependence Opioid-Related Disorders
A drug dependent person chooses to take drug more often (and suffer its long-term bad consequences) than choosing to engage in healthy activities (which have better long-term consequences). The present research will be conducted in a controlled laboratory setting with heroin abusers who are not seeking treatment to understand what factors guide their choices.
This research focuses on environmental (i.e. non-medication) factors that affect choosing a drug versus money. Findings from this research are likely to be important in developing a theoretical and practical basis for behavioral interventions as part of drug abuse treatment. HYD is a drug that is currently used as a cough suppressant and to relieve pain.
Participants in this observational study will take part in multiple trials in which they have the opportunity to choose HYD or money. On the first two experimental days, prior to choice sessions, participants will receive a sample of the drug doses that can be chosen. During test sessions, participants will have 12 opportunities to choose either drug or money. Participants will use a computer to earn choices. Respiration rate, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and blood pressure will be monitored throughout choice trials. Self-report questionnaires will be completed at different times during the study.
Participants will be maintained on buprenorphine throughout the study, with a minimum 2-week lead before the experiment, and a fixed 3-week detoxification after study completion.

You could put the information on <http://www.debian.org/mirror/webmirror>, but I doubt anyone will care.

MultiViews will ignore the .ics file. As an added advantage of this scheme, old links to the pages (from external sites or elsewhere on debian.org) will continue to work in most browsers.

From the Jewish Heartland
Two Centuries of Midwest Foodways
Publication Year: 2011
Published by: University of Illinois Press
Series: Heartland Foodways
Title Page, Copyright
When we began this project, we never expected to meet so many people who were so willing to help us gather the data we needed. They invited us into their homes, businesses, and archives; they freely shared stories and treasured recipes. Our lives, and this book, have certainly been greatly enriched because of them...
There was no "Midwest" until the 1900s. Until then that large, open stretch between the continent's coasts, the "inter-ocean," if you will, was simply "out West" on the "fringes of the prairies." It was "the Heartland"—except nobody called it that yet, much less the folk who wandered through en route to somewhere...
1. The Early Jewish Presence in the Middle West
A simple marker, erected by the Jewish Historical Society of Michigan, in Michilimackinac State Park, Mackinaw City, commemorates the first Jewish settler in that state: a German-Jew from Berlin named Ezekiel Solomon who landed at the northern tip of the Lower Peninsula in 1761. The plaque tells little about...
2. Midwest City Life: The Sephardim and the German-Jews
Sephardic Jews were never numerous in the United States, although they were the first to relocate to North America during the seventeenth century. Even after a larger second wave in the 1900s brought Sephardim to American shores as refugees from savage pogroms and bloody revolutions, their numbers remained few...
3. Eastern European Jews in the Cities
We buy cookbooks to read. We confess—our collection numbers in the hundreds. They range from reprints of American classics to original nineteenth-century editions. We also haunt flea markets, used bookstores, and the Internet for handwritten recipes and for books where recipes have been scribbled in the...
4. Jews in Small Towns, on the Farms, and In-Between
As we leafed through one of our antique manuscript cookbooks, a faded magazine reproduction of a Victorian-era print fluttered out. The soft-focus picture shows a peasant family from somewhere, trudging through deep snow, heading somewhere else. In the background we note a small cottage. No smoke curls from...
5. How to Cook . . .
When thousands upon thousands of impoverished Eastern European Jews descended on Chicago, Rabbis Emil G. Hirsh and Liebman Adler of the two largest Reform synagogues in the city urged their congregants, mostly of German extraction, "to engage in a large scale philanthropic effort to find employment, to raise...
6. When to Cook . . .
The children remember. Although they were small, a trip to their Bubbe's house meant love and food—always. The two were inextricably connected. Hugs and kisses, quickly followed by hustling them to the table with, "Ess, mein kinderlekh" (Eat, my little children). Sunday breakfasts were an unchanging...
7. . . . And When Not to Bother
Be it Ashkenazic challah or Sephardic panderica ("bread of the rich"), bread has always held a central place in Jewish life. Breads of every shape and variety are made and served for the Sabbath, holidays, and daily consumption: rye breads in Eastern Europe and Russia; rice-flour breads where some of the...
8. Trends in the Heartland
Authentic, and healthy. Traditional, plus tasty. We heard those phrases over and over when we asked about today's Jewish foods. Etheldoris Grais and Joseph Israel gave us examples of dishes, both Ashkenazic-based and Sephardic- inspired, meeting those criteria. The recipes they shared use Midwestern ingredients...

Leadership Matters CTE's Role in the Globe: A Visit to Morocco Photos courtesy of Jan Bray A solar/gas turbine energy plant in Oujda, Morocco. An independent car dealership in Oujda. By Jan Bray the worLd is fLat, according to Tom Friedman, and the United States will need to revisit its role within this new global society. We now know that the productivity of other countries has an im-pact on the economic growth of the U.S. This new order has significantly increased the focus on and the need for career and technical education (CTE). The Ameri-can CTE system has the knowledge and expertise that can be shared across the globe to empower workers from all walks of life to become productive world class citizens. Exporting CTE Abroad The Association for Career and Tech-nical Education (ACTE) has had the privilege of being a partner with Gateway Technical College and various additional partners who are members of the Na-tional Coalition of Certification Centers, on an initiative to deliver diagnostic training to automotive instructors in the Broader Middle East and North Africa (BMENA) region. The initiative is funded by a Higher Education for Develop-ment (HED) grant, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the U.S. Department of Education as part of the BMENA-U.S. Community College Small Grants Initia-tive competition. The purpose of the grant is to assist the Universite' Mohammed I Oujda/Ecole Superieure de Technologie, located in Oujda, Morocco, in the development of its automotive program. The initial phase of the grant was the assessment of faculty and the facility at the college. Admin-istration and faculty members from the college attended the ACTE 2010 Annual Convention in Las Vegas. The Moroccan visitors were invited to present a session on the grant and vocational training in their country. ACTE membership was also extended to these educators. Since last year, the college has built an automo-tive training lab and is in the process of replicating Gateway's Horizon Center for Transportation Technology model. The second phase of the grant was carried out in late September 2011 when the diagnostic training was delivered to faculty members in Oujda. The training delivered will prepare the faculty for the delivery of their new auto program which has 25 students enrolled, including three young women. www.acteonline.org 10 Techniques F E bru A r y 2012

At Baker's Keyboard lounge , I sat right near Stanley Clarke, as Chick Corea debuted the material from the first Return To Forever album... and it was friggin' amazing, with Joe Farrell AND Airto, about 10 feet away.
And I saw Miles Davis's last performance before he passed a few weeks later... impossible to put into words.
And the most amazing "musicianship" that I've ever sat in front of, was OREGON, with Ralph Towner...easily my all-time favorite jazz/new age "musical magicians."
But from a "showmanship" stand-point (ie. visibly entertaining on HDTV) I ranked ELP #1, simply because the three of them were all outstanding stage performers (in addition to being virtuosos musicians.)
Rock on...and JAZZ on.
PS: I also studied Classical in college... if somebody wants to also toss that genre into the conversation.
Alright!!!!!!!! Bennie Maupin, Herbie, Chick, that must have been awesome. A friend of mine was also into Yes and ELP. I can`t remember which of the ELP albums it was, but I did like it. Unfortunately, I never picked it up. Same with Yes. But, and I`m assuming now, there must have been some other influences besides rock, that pulled me in.
I also saw "Chicago" at Avery Fisher Hall, which was great. I`m a ex- sax player (tenor) and was thrilled with their horn section.
Now David, this is the music I would like to see on SACD/DVD - A, HD, but, I doubt we`ll see Chick, Stanley, or Herbie in the near future. Or at all.
