I have the same comments as I did on Nov. 26th. You might ask why the same order 2 months later ... the case was not designed nor did I expect it to survive being thrown off the trunk of my car as I took a turn at 20 MPH. It did hold up well but I got a new phone so I figure I should have a new case.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger told police that he did not have sexual intercourse with the woman who has accused him of assault, according to anonymous sources cited by KDKA-TV.
The sources reportedly told the station that Roethlisberger spoke with Milledgeville, Ga. police on the night of the alleged assault and admitted sexual contact with the woman but said that it was not consummated. KDKA reports the sources said Roethlisberger told police the woman slipped and fell afterward, injuring her head.
Diane Kelly, spokeswoman for the Milledgeville Police, declined to comment on the case and whether police have interviewed Roethlisberger.
Legal experts tell ABC News that if reports of Roethlisberger's police interview are true, his situation may be more complicated than it was before he talked to them.
"This just illustrates the fact that making statements to the police, when suspicions are cast upon you, are never a good idea," criminal defense attorney Gerald A. Shargel told ABC News.
Shargel has argued many high-profile cases, most recently Joe Halderman's extortion case involving David Letterman. "The conventional view is no good could come from a police interview," he said.
Trial attorney Isabelle Kirshner, a partner at Clayman & Rosenberg LLP, agrees that Roethlisberger's statements, if true, may harm his case by "providing a link in the chain of events that corroborate with what the victim said."
"Every time you acknowledge one element, it opens the lines to a whole other line of inquiry," Kirshner said.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has begun its review of videos from the Milledgeville nightclubs that Roethlisberger visited the night of the alleged incident, Special Agent Tom Davis announced in a press conference on Monday.
But on Wednesday afternoon, the lawyer for one of two off-duty Pennsylvania law enforcement officers who accompanied Roethlisberger the night of the incident came forward and said they did not see anything inappropriate occur.
Roethlisberger hired two high-profile criminal defense attorneys on Monday after a 20-year-old Georgia College & State University student told police Roethlisberger allegedly sexually assaulted her on March 5, at a nightclub in Milledgeville.
Calls to Roethlisberger's attorneys, Edward T.M. Garland and Donald F. Samuel, were not immediately returned today.
On Monday Garland released a statement which read: "The facts show that there was no criminal activity. No sexual assault occurred. We are cooperating with the investigation. Ben is completely innocent of any crime. The truth of the events should cause this investigation to end without a criminal charge. I will not go into details at this time, but will in the future."
Milledgeville Police Chief Woodrow Blue said at a press conference on Monday that Roethlisberger and his attorney were cooperating with police. Blue said Roethlisberger was expected to be interviewed in the coming days.
The Steelers franchise continues to stand behind their star quarterback. On Monday Steelers' President Art Rooney II issued this statement:
"All of us in the Steelers family are concerned about the recent incident involving Ben Roethlisberger in Georgia. We cannot comment on any of the specifics until law enforcement's investigation is concluded. Certainly, we will continue to closely monitor the situation."
Roethlisberger has not been charged.
ABC News' Jen Wlach and Cleopatra Andreadis contributed to this report.

Ratings for Dr. Andrew J. Stein
I saw dr. Stein in 2009 with a severely broken. I thought I didn't have insurance and went with a cast. After 3 weeks of healing I wasn't happy and was gping to try and get surgery. Thr staff helped me with my insurance and workers comp. Most surgeons wouldn't have touched it, but dr Stein did. He cut the bone and put in a plate. I have 100% functionality of the arm and near 100% on the wrist.
I never saw Dr. Stein. All I can tell you is DON'T MISS AN APPOINTMENT!!!!! I made a mistake in putting this appointment in my calender and was a week off. My fault entirely but these things happen occasionally. I called to apologized and explained what happened. When I tried to reschedule I was told that the Doctor refused to see me because of it. I apologized again and asked for mercy since he was the last available doc on the workman's comp list and we had already gone thruogh all the hassle (both mine and his) to get it set up. No deal. I was scolded like a child about how I took an hour out of his day when he could have seen other people. I know this was true and I felt bad but REALLY??? I'm aware I messed up. I'm really very concientious about these things. It was user error w/my new smart phone. I guess I'm not smart enough for it. I just thought it was a very petty response to a genuine accident.
I am very thankful for Dr. Stein and his staff.I went to him after a trauma accident at work and after 2 surgery's my arm has no pain and back at almost 100%. I truly believe that Dr. Stein is at the top of his profession! Surgically he is second to none, and that goes the same for his professional and caring staff of office workers, nurses, and therapists. I confidently already recommended Dr. Stein to 2 other people and would not hesitate to recommend him to others. It's not easy when your in a situation where surgery is required, Dr. Stein and his staff are able to put your mind at ease and you feel confident.Thank you again for everything you've done for me, Sincerely G-man
A week ago, I came to a Dr. Stein after crushing my index finger at work. I was in a tremendous amount of pain and worried that I might have to go the weekend without surgery. To my surprise Dr. Stein and his staff had me in surgery within the hour. His confident and lively demeanor quickly calmed me down and by the end of the surgery I was assured that my finger was going to be fine. Dr. Stein repaired my finger which had been broken in 3 places at tip. It was clearly a tricky surgery and not a job for the faint of heart. He completed the job with no complications and stayed way passed his normal work hours help me out. Dr. Stein and his staff are a great group of people who enjoy helping people and I would recommend them to anyone.
I was suffering with pain for over two years. Went from specialist to pain management doctors but no results. I was loosing hope but then one of my case manager mentioned Dr. Stein so I decided to switch my case to him otherwise I was going to be declared with permanent disability. During my first visit I felt very comfortable explaining about my situation and he was the first dock who knew exactly what I am talking about. I am scared of needles thinking about surgery was a big decision. He himself and his wonderful staff made me so comfortable that I had my carpool tunnel and cubital tunnel surgery last month going for therapy right now. Mike Marsh and Jerry Paulo (therapist)are great. I wish I would have known about Dr. Stein before. I highly recommend surgery by Dr. Stein.No Need To Wait. I thank the whole team for good work.
Dr. Stein was incredibly helpful and made me feel cared for. I have had multiple surgeries, and my recoveries have been the best and the fastest after having surgery from Dr. Stein. He fixed what another surgeon had screwed up, and I am extremely grateful for Dr. Stein and his whole staff. The physical therapy department was also very helpful and kind.
Physical therapists conveniently across hall and they are very conscientious and effective in their work. Responsible for my quick recovery.

The seven-day festival of Kwanzaa, which celebrates African-American heritage and culture, starts Wednesday, Dec. 26 and ends Tuesday, Jan. 1. Here are some facts about the week-long holiday.
- Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Maulana Karenga, now chair of California State University Long Beach's Department of Africana Studies, in what he called "an audacious act of self-determination."
- The name "Kwanzaa" comes from the Swahili phrase "matunda ya kwanza," which means "first fruits."
- Kwanzaa's focus is the "Nguzo Saba," or the Seven Principles—unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith.
- During the week, a candelabrum called a Kinara is lit, and ears of corn representing each child in the family are placed on a traditional straw mat.
- African foods such as millet, spiced pepper balls and rice are often served. Some people fast during the holiday and a feast is often held on its final night.
- A flag with three bars—red for the struggle for freedom, black for unity, and green for the future—is sometimes displayed during the holiday.
- Kwanzaa is based on the theory of Kawaida, which espouses that social revolutionary change for black America can be achieved by exposing blacks to their cultural heritage.
- A poll commissioned by the National Retail Federation and conducted by BIGresearch from Oct. 4 to Oct. 11 found that 2 percent of the 8,585 adults surveyed said they would celebrate Kwanzaa, compared to 90.5 percent who celebrate Christmas and 5.4 percent who celebrate Hanukkah.
What are some ways you or someone you know is going to celebrate Kwanza near your apartment in Ridgeland, SC? Let us know.

Sophomore Alaina Jacobson went the distance against USC Upstate in game two of the doubleheader at Draper Diamond Saturday to earn the 3-0 shutout and the series split. It was her fifth shutout of the season and set a new school record for most shutouts in a season.
The game was scoreless until the sixth inning when sophomore shortstop Abby Keese hit a single to score sophomore right fielder Kellie Sirus. Sophomore third baseman Christen Campbell doubled one batter later to drive in Keese and sophomore pinch runner Abigail Craig.
Keese led the Lady Bison batters going two for three at the plate with one run and one RBI.
"We walked away frustrated with the first game, but we were incredibly proud of the way they fought." said head coach Kristin Peck. "We talked between games about fighting for the win and that's what they did in game two. I think from here on out we are going to be dedicated to doing the little things and fighting for the wins."
The Lady Bisons (27-22 overall, 16-6 A-Sun) are next in action on Tuesday, April 22, when they take on Tennessee State from the Ohio Valley Conference at Tiger Field. Game time is set for 5 p.m.

Here we go again
Free the Grapes!: Massachusetts Attorney General to Spend Taxpayer Money to Maintain
Discriminatory Ban on Wine Direct Shipping
February 2, 2009, Napa, CA – Despite a decisive opinion and remedy order by widely respected
U.S. District Court Judge Rya Zobel, Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley will spend
taxpayer dollars to appeal the judge's decision, which promised an expansion of consumer choice
in fine wine.
On November 19, 2008, Judge Zobel ruled unconstitutional a Massachusetts statute that bans winery-to-consumer shipments from wineries producing more than 30,000 gallons and who retain a Massachusetts wholesaler; these wineries account for over 90% of all of the wine produced in the US each year, according to the plaintiff's filing (Family Winemakers v. Jenkins). On December 18, Judge Zobel enjoined the state from enforcing Sections 2, 18 and 19(F) of the Massachusetts General Law Chapter 138.
Now, Attorney General Coakley intends to appeal the final decision to the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals.
"The 30,000 gallon cap statute has been a lightning rod for consumer anger and press opposition. Now that it has been ruled unconstitutional, Massachusetts' citizens should wonder why their taxes will go to defend this anti-consumer statute whose sole purpose appears to be to maintain a state-sanctioned monopoly in wine distribution," said Jeremy Benson, executive director of Free the Grapes, a national coalition of thousands of wineries and 300,000 wine lovers.
According to Free the Grapes!, if successful, the AG's appeal will:
• Reduce Consumer Choice: Maintain a law that effectively bans all winery-to-consumer
wine shipments, making MA one of the remaining 15 states that continues to prohibit its
of age citizens from purchasing the wines they want directly from licensed, regulated
• Ignore Working Solutions: Successful direct shipping "model" legislation is working
successfully in a majority of the states – the model bill satisfies state regulators and wine
lovers, and in several cases, provides states with a new source of tax revenue;
• Waste Taxpayer Money: If the state loses, then the case will have expended taxpayer
money on needless legal wrangling;
• Ignore Opposition in Other States: The "cap" approach has been introduced
unsuccessfully for three consecutive years (FL), litigated (AZ), angrily opposed by
consumers (OH), and now ruled unconstitutional (MA);
• Provide No Benefit to Massachusetts Wholesalers: Even the chairman of the country's
largest wine and spirits distributor, Southern Wines & Spirits, was quoted in IMPACT
trade magazine that direct-to-consumer shipping has "…not hurt us in any way."
Free the Grapes! encourages Massachusetts consumers to visit its website at
www.freethegrapes.org and personalize a message sent automatically to Attorney General
Coakley, as well as to send letters to local newspapers for consideration.
Massachusetts Background
In 2005 Massachusetts House Bill 4498 was introduced and passed both the House and Senate.
The bill was condemned for seeking to place conditions on out-of-state wineries that did not exist
for Massachusetts' wineries. No in-state wineries produced more than the 30,000 gallons, and
they could sell directly to Massachusetts consumers as well as through state wholesalers.
Out-ofstate wineries over the 30,000 gallon cap would not have this option – they would have to either sell directly to consumers or through a Massachusetts wholesaler, if a wholesaler chose to
represent them. Wineries that retained a Massachusetts wholesaler and produced more than
30,000 gallons were prohibited from direct-to-consumer shipping. Governor Mitt Romney vetoed HB 4498 in November 2005 – commenting on its "anti-consumer effect, as well as its dubious constitutionality" – but the veto was overridden. In January 2006, Governor Romney introduced, but failed to pass, a separate bill similar to legislation working successfully in many other states, commenting that "It's time we end the monopoly that wholesalers have over wine sales…"
Instead of passing the Governor's new bill, the wholesaler supported HB 4498 became law in 2006. On September 18, 2006, Family Winemakers of California v. Jenkins was filed, stating that current Massachusetts law violated the nondiscrimination principle of the Commerce Clause, which prohibits "laws that burden out-of-state producers or shippers simply to give a competitive advantage to in-state businesses." (U.S. Supreme Court, Granholm v. Heald, May 2005). The case was funded in large part by the Coalition for Free Trade (www.coalitionforfreetrade.org) with Family Winemakers of California as lead plaintiff.
Massachusetts is the seventh largest wine consumption state in the U.S. (source: Adams Wine
Handbook, 2007, figures from 2006 data). For more information, visit www.freethegrapes.org,

Great Conversations "Malcolm Gladwell and Daniel Pink" Malcolm Gladwell is author of the bestsellers The Tipping Point: How Little Things Make a Big Difference, (2000) and Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking (2005). In his newest book, Gladwell focuses his extraordinary mix of story-telling and intuitive thinking on the world of "outliers" - the best and the brightest, most famous and most successful. What makes high achievers different? His answer lies not in paying attention to what successful people are like, but in paying attention to where they are from: their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncrasies of their upbringing.

I have based a lot of my analysis on this blog around financial models, specifically rNPV, which I have talked about many times. However, after a discussion on ViroPharma's (VPHM) Yahoo! Finance message board, I noticed that I never mentioned a key component to valuation, which is a company's cost of capital.
Cost of capital (COC) is a firm's expected cost to finance its operations. It consists of a weighted average of a company's cost of equity (COE) and cost of debt (COD). COC is calculated with the following formula:
For more information, Investopedia has several good articles that explain the components: Start with this one.
The estimate for COC is just as important as an estimate for a potential market for a drug when using rNPV. COC is the rate at which future cash flows are discounted back to the present, and underestimating COC can give you a rNPV number that would be too optimistic, and vice-versa. Present value calculations are very sensitive to changes in the discount rate.
This is why it is important for analysts to get the COC right, or at least caution on the high side.
Generally speaking, development-stage biotechs have a COC in the 20% range. While big-cap biotechs like Genentech (DNA) and Gilead (GILD) have COCs around 10-12%. The difference in COC has to do with the risk involved with investing. Genentech and Gilead have marketed products, with positive cash flows and profits and, therefore, less risk, so investors are willing to seek lower returns. However, development stage biotechs like GenVec or NeurogesX are highly risky, and investors want to be compensated for that risk.

From an exclusive I wrote for the Republican Liberty Caucus:
Now Rand leads all his major challengers in state-wide polls, is closing in on $3 million in funds raised, and has the endorsements of big names like Sarah Palin, Steve Forbes, and Reagan PAC. How did Rand Paul's campaign manage to gain so much ground, putting it in striking distance of electoral victory?
Because my grandma supports him. The secret to Rand Paul's success is not that he resonates with people like me, but that he resonates with people like my grandmother. I'm a young, enthusiastic libertarian Republican; she's a traditional, conservative, Reagan Republican- and Rand Paul's message speaks to her.

Lol, it was only a matter of time.
Now my only question is, when exactly the heck is it going to come out. 2008 is kinda vague lol, and I want my R1 DVDs asap.
Still don't get the renumeration part of the end of eps 12 though. It mentioned about her completing her renumeration; so does that mean the Indian girl became a contractor????
And of course guys, remember the rules. Don't want to get banned, right?

Yeah. i was wondering about that too.
But if i had to speculate, the dimensional rift within the gate allows beings with conscious thought to bring their dreams into reality. like solaris.
however, when you do this, it brings a price.
so if you don't want to pay the price, don't ask your dreams to be real or something.
however since humans have this conveniences of a enclosed mind, we can't really control it, so when that indian girl unconsciously wished for love or that type of feeling....
she got it!! (go hei! you stud-muffin!)
but because she thought hei "disappeared/died" at the incident, thus suffering a broken heart, her little wish was "compensated" thus she would be able to continue working there.
ok, so it doesn't explain about the other researchers, and staff.
But its the best i can come up with, and i'll tackle with the others later, just one step at a time, kay?
but yeah this gate thing reminds me of a Chutulo (sp?) type of event/being
a quantum rift/being that does not have an "ego" field enclosed in a physical boundary, that affects humans if you step within it's "mind".
or something.

DTB in English etc and so on
Shinsen Subs stated that is was under review with negative implications and a link to a thread where something shut down their web site for several days last year for Shinsen fansub of a Funimation licensed series.
Adult Swin ran a bumper, like 3 months ago, implying another anime after Blood+ was unlikely. Bleach does something like 400,000 viewers tops on the Saturday.
The Adult Swim bumper stated to break-even on running something like Ergo Proxy was 1 million viewers. I don't remember because my eyes popped-out when the Adult Swim bumper stated the break-even on running Ranma 1/2 was like 1.3 million.
I don't know if the Adult Swim bumpers were serious or not, but the bumper did not come across as being positive. Another Adult Swim bumper also said never say never but always say never to running the subtitled versions. I think Adult Swim likes the English dubs . The young women who does the Anime programming at Adult Swim seems nice enough and she also voiced the lead character for Perfect Hair Forever Adult Swim original anime, so I think she also is talented, but some of the things that Adult Swims does, like communicating via text commercial bumpers eludes me.
On the bizarre other hand, apparently someone is selling a Chinese licensed version with english subtitles and more importantly, the official Chinese Government Censorship seal of authenticity on ebay.

A Chinese DVD with English subtitles of a show just licensed by some US company?
Bootleg. If you're lucky they've at least ... *cough* ... aquired ... *cough* the fansubs up to ep 12 too instead of babelfishing the whole script.

Interesting license. Not sure if I'm entirely convinced I want to buy this show yet. If I ever do, it'll probably be well after the boxset has come off and I see it on discount somewhere. Hell, if no one else fansubs it after this, I'll probably buy it just to find out how it ends.

agave is a monospaced outline font.
requests, bugs, issues (sign-up not required)
sample text
free to use/scrutinise/modify/whatever (mit license)
designed with coding in mind
geometrically simple, with emphasis on regularity and consistency
bold and italic variants not implemented yet (though your font renderer might auto-generate them)
a version of the font is provided (at the homepage, suffixed -just) that is aimed at ascii-only, vertical-space-conscious users -- it has a smaller line gap at the cost of mutilation/invisibility of certain accents.
try it out -- give agave a go!

Just my $0.02 but I find the serifs on the uppercase "C", "P", "U", "V", and "Z" too blocky. Also in the uppercase "J", having the stem off center to the bar looks odd.
remmember not forget characters like Ñ, Ö, Ú, ñ, þ, ð, æ ǽ ÿ and others
non english peoples going to say thanks to you if you not foget about the rest of the world
And for now look good, really good

Well, I suppose that this is somekind of signature, no?
Looking forward to an AUR package so I don't have to keep track of updates myself.
Nice and interesting font. Be sure to polish it well
I usually just put custom fonts into .fonts folder and do fc-cache -vf but that's just me. But I don't think having AUR package would hurt at all.

Thanks for the feedback, peeps.
I'm not an arch user myself but I sure appreciate the arch community and the helpfulness of its forum, so hats off to all the arch-villains out there.
Which also brings me to the packaging of this font for AUR: I don't really know how to do that. yet.
Just my $0.02 but I find the serifs on the uppercase "C", "P", "U", "V", and "Z" too blocky. Also in the uppercase "J", having the stem off center to the bar looks odd.
Indeed, I had to fight with myself putting serifs on those capitals, and am still not sure how best to do away with case-ambiguity at small sizes. And yes, the "J" needs revisiting.
remmember not forget characters like Ñ, Ö, Ú, ñ, þ, ð, æ ǽ ÿ and others
The current state of the font does include some non-ascii extensions (eg. it has the characters you mentioned except the "ae-ligature with acute" and the "n with bar").
My immediate non-ascii concern for the moment is with greek and cyrillic, which are mostly missing. And after they're done maybe spread out into other areas of unicode.
That said, I have yet to gauge the value of such an undertaking as this project is the first of its kind that I've tried, and it only started as a dab at designing latin characters.

About the AUR and packages, these links should help you:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … Repository
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … _Standards
agaric, here's a stub (but working) AUR package I made: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-agave/ I disowned it - create an account and press the "adopt" button to make it yours.
To update the package, download the source tarball (menu on the right) and edit the PKGBUILD: pkgver/pkgrel and sha51sums. The meaning of these options is described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD
Then use
makepkg --source
to create the updated package and submit it to the site using "submit" in the top menu. There are also tools that automate the submission process, see wiki.
Thanks, it was fun writing a PKGBUILD.
Very much appreciate the AUR upload.
AUR registration seems to be having a little spam issue, so as soon as it lifts, I'm all over it.
I had also made a
PKGBUILD meanwhile, and it's pretty much like yours except the use of package() instead of build(); not explicitly extracting the tarball (I think makepkg does this for us); and some license shtuff (as per these threads).
edit: license is now that of MIT X.
Also, does anyone know of a de facto (or documented) way of naming font packages? Why are there both foo-font and ttf-foo type names? I've searched forum/wiki to no avail.
edit: I realised that most truetype fonts on pacman have ttf- prefixes. So I'm sticking to that.

It looks quite nice. I use Greek all the time though, so I can't actually use it yet, but I'm installing it so it'll be updated when Greek characters are added. Oh, don't forget the Greek Extended too

Thank you. I've been working on the greek after your post, and pretty much filled it all out (including basic and extended greek). I've updated the AUR to reflect this.
I should mention that I rarely type or read greek, so I don't have the same "aesthetic handle" on its letters as I do the latin ones. Therefore any suggestion or criticism could be quite helpful -- even on little things like the shape of alpha, lack of curvature on pi, indistinct psili/dasia, etc.

Cool! I'll play with it and report back

Now with basic cyrillic. AUR package updated. All and any feedback welcomed.
I played with Greek yesterday. Basic Greek is very good! Extended can do better though. I haven't done an extensive tryout (I will though), but for the time being it seems that characters like ἁ–ἀ or ά–ὰ look too much alike, not to mention combinations such as ἄ–ἂ–ἃ-ἅ (which are four completely different things). But your font has great merit already! It's very easy on the eyes. I used it for TeX-ing yesterday and loved it! Great work!

I'm very glad you like the font, GordonGR.
Your note on the diacritics is helpful.
As you might imagine, it's a bit challenging to make psili and dasia distinct at small sizes, and especially so, considering the limited space that I've allotted to accents and diacritics (limited, that is, for the sake of regularity).
I've made an attempt at an improvement (AUR package revision 3-5), but I'm uncertain that it'll completely fix things, so I'll keep working on it. Hmph, if only this were a bitmap font... :-P

I just finished the cyrillic glyphs. Cheers.
Next up, complete latin extensions & ipa.
Oh you're absolutely great! Agave is my new favourite monospace font I hope maths glyphs are in your todo list as well

I hope maths glyphs are in your todo list
Certainly, and I'm open to any calls for addition/improvement, so my todo list is pretty loose.
Feel free to let me know if there are particular math symbols you'd like to see implemented -- for the sake of expedience you see; there are quite a few mathematical symbols and a lot of them look rather obscure to my untrained eyes.
You could also make a more formal request by using the bitbucket bug report if you so wish.

Now with ipa and latin extensions a & b.
In the next several days I'll probably start looking into bold and/or italic design. If anyone currently trying out agave would like to see particular features or have certain expectations in those styles, please don't hesitate to jump in and mention them.
I'm just posting to say that i liked it a lot. I just use plain latin characters but the font is very cool. Thank you for your time working on it!
Satisfied users don't rant, so you'll never know how many of us there are.
Thanks for the kind words. It's a pleasure to work on a monospaced font and to share it with others.

Hi Pete
good letter.
These Rocky and Bullwinkle drawings are only slightly off kilter.
They still have basic sensible construction. The details wrap around the larger forms and are very slightly skewed - unlike modern design where none of the shapes that make up a character are related to each other. Each element just floats independently from the others.
That's what I call "wonky" - like that new "George Of The Jungle" which is anarchic drawing. Every shape just goes in arbitrary directions with no overall form or position, and no composition within the frame at all
They (the Rocky and Bullwinkle frames) all have great clarity of staging
great use of negative shapes
Line of Action
Opposing poses (characters balanced against each other naturally)
design balance - curves against straights, empty space VS filled space
Variety of shapes and forms and textures
Appeal, cuteness
Funny looking
They have a lot of what we like about Hirschfeld
As far as consistency of model, I am completely opposed to that anyway. I find on model to be bland and boring (at least in the modern definition of "on-model")
Chuck Jones sure played with the models from pose to pose in his cartoons, and I think you like those
Now as far as students go, I would not allow them to draw style and would never encourage them to design their own characters
That's where the problems happen
they get too tied-up in trying to be individuals when they don't know anything yet
You can't design something while you are trying to learn how to move something. Move something that is already built for movement by a professional-animate Mickey Mouse or Elmer Fudd, something simple that actually is built to move in 3-dimensional space
They should learn to draw, learn to animate all the basic principles
that is way more important than style, and you can't have a style if you have no knowledge or skill
all the stylish cartoons that are worshipped by animation students were animated and designed by classic animators. Toot Whistle Plunk and Boom, Mars and Beyond, Gerald McBoingBoing etc. They all use most of the classic principles and just shake up one or 2 aspects to make a graphic statement
I would take these types of drawings (Bullwinkle, UPA, Hirschfeld) and show how all the principles are there.
Maybe if I get time, I will do a post like that
I hesitate anymore to post too many modern drawings next to classic drawings. When you see the 2 juxtaposed, the differences between anarchy and control and thought become obvious
but then the flame wars and hate starts
I somtimes think I should have 2 blogs-one for basic concepts and principles that are viewable to everyone
and then another for more sophisticated concepts that only accomplished artists can view.
When I get past basic stuff and into more complex theories and principles, everyone goes crazy
"How dare you not like Family Guy! It's supposed to be ugly!"
so I am going to tone down my comparisons from now on and just show what I like. Unfortunately some understanding suffers from the lack of comparison between good and bad

It won't be advances in graphical capabilities which make great games, but choosing to focus on gameplay and the emotional connection to the characters, Star Trek director J.J. Abrams has told Gamasutra.
"It's hard not to look at what people are doing with the graphics of stuff like Call of Duty or Dead Space. You can't help but be blown away by what's possible," said Abrams. "But to me, as much as the visuals will continue to improve ... the sense of being in a place. It's insane what's possible if we all just extrapolate where it's going. In no time, it's going to be photorealistic to the point of preposterousness. At that point, it's irrelevant.
"So I'm not looking at the graphical stuff. That's going to happen anyway. What I think is critical is gameplay and the emotional connection to the characters."
And this is why Abrams has chosen to team up with Valve.
"One of the things that's really appealing about working with Valve is that they've got great taste, and that we will have the ability to work with people and not impose what we do on them," he explained. "We're not looking to make movies in the game space. We're looking to make great games that take the strengths of what we know - characters, world-building, creating a sense of emotional connection - and trying ways to try to exploit that in the gaming space, which is a very different animal that movies and TV."
Abrams has said he is working with Valve on possible movie projects based on Half-Life and Portal, whilst he also has some ideas for video games he'd like to bring to the table.

Qatar-based GreenGulf, a renewable energy and clean technology company, has signed an agreement with Siemens towards cooperation in developing projects in energy efficiency and urban transportation in the emirate.
The agreement includes the identification, conceptualization, and development of opportunities and possible pilot projects that are of interest to both companies in areas including energy optimization and supply management, energy-efficient district cooling technologies and the e-Bus urban transport system in Qatar.
The e-Bus, which is currently in operation in Vienna, Austria, recharges within 15 minutes and recovers braking energy. The memorandum of understanding (MoU) is expected to form the basis of a future business partnership.
"As Qatar continues to make great strides towards realizing its National Vision 2030 and with increasing investments in infrastructure in preparation for the World Cup 2022, this partnership is crucial to delivering energy efficient solutions to help the country realize its future goals," said Bernhard Fonseka, CEO of Siemens in Qatar.
"Qatar is committed to creating a cleaner and more energy efficient environment and we hope this partnership with GreenGulf will result in significant contributions to addressing the challenges in those areas."
GreenGulf Inc. will provide advisory services, know-how and expertise for the development, positioning and implementation of new projects in Qatar. Siemens will contribute with cutting-edge solutions for energy efficiency in urban transportation, district cooling, energy optimization, and grid management.
The cooperation between the two companies reiterates their continued support for the country's ongoing trans-formation and its future goals for sustainable development. Through education, scientific research, technology transfer, and community development, Qatar is striving to reduce energy consumption and reliance on carbon-based energy resources.
"GreenGulf Inc. is very excited to collaborate with Siemens to develop unique applications and clean technologies for Qatar. We look forward to contributing positively to the country's growth in a sustainable manner and to support the Qatar National Vision 2030 and specifically strategic initiatives such as the World Cup 2022," said Omran Al-Kuwari CEO of GreenGulf Inc. – TradeArabia News Service

I'm always searching for and creating new recipes. I'm not the best at creating recipes when it comes to bread products and baking. I haven't quite mastered how all these different flours work together. So many times when it comes to baking recipes I search for them on other people's GF blogs.
I found this blog called "I Am Gluten Free" the other day and found a recipe for Cinnamon Rolls. These rolls are AMAZING!! No lie…fantastic. I made them the other day when my family was in town (all who aren't gluten free) LOVED them. This is definitely a recipe I will make again and again.
I agree with the blogger of this recipe – these are so friggin' good. These are as good (if not better) than the ones you get at the mall….oh you know which ones I'm talking about and yes I am saying they are as good if not better than them!!! The original recipe was a little too sweet soooo I cut back on the filling a bit. The original recipe is listed below with a link to the blog I found it on. You have to give these a try…super easy recipe with awesome results….trust me you won't be disappointed, I promise!
Cinammon Rolls
Serves 8 or 9
2 tablespoons shortening (I used butter)
1/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup of milk, room temperature
1 packet yeast (about 1 tablespoon) (*see Ellen's note at end of post)
1 egg
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup potato starch
1 cup corn starch (someone subbed arrowroot successfully)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 teaspoons xantham gum
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 – 2 tablespoons sugar
FILLING (*see Ellen's note at end of post)
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1/3 cup chopped nuts – optional
¾ cup powdered or confectionery sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
milk to thicken (I used soy milk)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In medium bowl, combine shortening and sugar. Mix well. Measure warm milk and add yeast to milk. Whisk well to fully dissolve (**see Ellen's note).
Add milk/yeast to sugar mixture. Add remaining ingredients. Mix very well, being sure to remove all lumps. Dough will be quite soft (***see Ellen's note).
Take a piece of plastic wrap and lay it out so it covers a 13 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ square. Sprinkle sugar on the wrap. Lay ball of dough on top of that. Then pull out another sheet of wrap and gently lay over the dough. Pat the dough down into a roughly squarish pancake. Lift the top wrap up and then reposition it. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough in between the two layers of wrap. Occasionally you'll have to lift and reposition the wrap because it gets "stuck" under the edges. You might have to occasionally flip the whole thing over. Make sure that when you're done you've got ABOUT a 13 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ square of dough.
Remove top piece of wrap. Combine filling ingredients. Spread evenly across dough's surface. (Original recipe poster suggested leaving about a 1 1/2″ sugar free edge because when you roll the dough all the sugar shifts and fills this in; otherwise all the sugar spills out).Use the bottom piece of wrap to lift the edge of the dough and start to roll it up forming a long cylinder. Start with the sugary edge, which will be the center of your roll and roll toward the sugarless edge. Cut off or trim up the irregular ends of your "log". Then cut into 8 or 9 slices of similar size, about 1 1/2″ wide. Place rolls into a greased round glass pie pan.
Bake approximately 20 minutes, until tops are lightly browned.
Combine powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk to make glaze. The amount of milk you use will depend on how thick you want the glaze to be. Stir until all lumps are dissolved. Drizzle over warm rolls if desired.
*I thought the rolls were a bit too sweet, so the next time I make them I will cut the amount of filling ingredients to about 2/3 of what the recipe calls for.
**It seems odd that the recipe doesn't call for proofing the yeast. I decided to cover the milk and yeast mixture with plastic wrap and allow it to at least begin proofing.
***The mixture is very, very soft – I was convinced that I'd made a mistake, but it ended up being fine.

New Car Review Video
2014 Toyota Corolla: First Drive Review - Video
Have you ever been to the intersection of Hollywood and Highland in Southern California? Celebrity impersonators gather there hoping to earn a little extra money taking photos with tourists (yes, you're supposed to pay them). The 2014 Toyota Corolla is a little like these guys.
Well, "celebrity impersonator" may be overstating it a bit; they're more like movie character look-alikes. You know, Betty Boop, Chucky (from such great films as "Bride of Chucky") and Spider-Man, that kind of thing.
Of course, sometimes they just look like a sad 50-year old guy in a Superman cape, and other times they look so much like real "Star Wars" Stormtroopers, you actually get a little scared. Either way, they're not what they seem.
Split Personality
That's kind of the story with the new Corolla. On the surface, it's a new car with a fresh look. In fact, the new car is sharper and edgier than other compact sedans, such as the Ford Focus and Honda Civic.
The Corolla's interior is new, as well, and gets Toyota's reworked information and entertainment system Entune.
There's a lot to like about this new compact sedan, and we predict it will continue to find its way into a lot of American garages for years to come.
The 2014 Corolla is noticeably smoother and quieter both around town and on the highway. The new Corolla is a much better car than the previous version.
However, there's also a lot about the new Corolla that's not so new. For example, most versions of the new Corolla get drum brakes in the rear. This technology has been around for decades, so it's not exactly cutting edge. Still, sporty S models get 4-wheel disc brakes.
Some of the suspension pieces are derived from the older Corolla, and the base model gets a 4-speed automatic transmission.
Most buyers will opt for the new continuously variable transmission, which mimics shift points so it feels more conventional.
It Is What It Is
So the 2014 Toyota Corolla is wearing a disguise of sorts. When you visit the Hollywood Walk of Stars, that tall guy in a hair suit isn't really Chewbacca. Visit on the right day, however, and you'll swear he's the real deal.
The new Corolla is the more convincing version -- it looks and feels like the real deal.
Is the new car a sport sedan like the Mazda3? No, but there is an underlying stiffness to the new car's setup. The steering is quick, and the suspension feels tight enough to be fun around town. Our guess is that most Corolla buyers won't know their car has drum brakes and will brag to their friends when a future brake job costs $189.
It's no Mazda3, but the '14 Corolla is exactly what it should be: a really great compact Toyota sedan.
Clearly, the Corolla S is the sportiest version. It has tweaked suspension, cool-looking 17-inch wheels and several cosmetic upgrades that make it look the part.
We Have a Favorite
The S, however, is not the best version of the Corolla. We like the LE Eco version. It gets more power (140 horsepower) thanks to variable valve technology. Plus, the LE version comes nicely equipped with eight airbags, backup camera, cruise control, fog lights and Entune information and entertainment with a 6.1-in touchscreen.
Not only is the Eco version of the Corolla the most powerful, but it also gets the best fuel economy at 42 miles per gallon on the highway.
The Corolla's interior is upgraded too. It now looks a lot better, and there are some soft-touch surfaces. We'd like more soft-touch areas, but the car starts at about $17,000, so that may not be reasonable.
Updated Interior
The interior looks good; it mimics the style of the recently redesigned RAV4. There are a few nice touches inside, including the gloss black plastic that surrounds some of the audio controls. Also, there's plenty of contrasting or exposed stitching, adding a more premium look to the car.
Steering-wheel-mounted controls and some door panel bits rely too much on hard plastic.
In a way, the new Toyota Corolla is just playing a part. Toyota knows people buy their cars because they're reliable, durable and affordable, and it is not going to change that. After all, the 2013 Toyota Corolla is the oldest compact sedan available, and it's still the second best-seller in the U.S.
We're guessing a lot of people will be happy to play dress-up and enjoy the Corolla's long, trouble-free life and low purchase price, all the while pretending it's a high-tech sport sedan.
George Clooney Batman look-alike says most people can't tell the difference as he stuffs another $20 bill in his Batsuit.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy called for tougher international sanctions against Iran's nuclear program and warned French oil giant Total and gas firm Gaz de France to refrain from investing in Iran.
In an interview with The New York Times, published on the newspaper's Web site late on Sunday, Sarkozy pointedly eschewed his foreign minister's talk of preparing for war with Iran but said more pressure must be applied to make Tehran renounce its nuclear ambitions.
"It's not true that there is no solution between surrender and war," Sarkozy said, according to a text released by his office.
"Between surrender and war, there is a range of solutions that exist like the reinforcement of sanctions which will eventually have an effect," he said, calling for a third U.N. resolution tightening economic restrictions on Tehran.
If the U.N. Security Council was unable to agree on another resolution, Sarkozy said he would support the European Union adopting additional sanctions.
The French leader, in New York to attend his first United Nations General Assembly session since his election in May, said he had urged Total and Gaz de France to refrain from bidding for new projects in Iran and told French banks to stop doing business there.
EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana played down French calls for the 27-nation bloc to consider its own sanctions against Iran, saying there had been no discussion of such an idea in the EU to date.
French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said last week he saw no prospect of the U.N. Security Council agreeing tougher measures on Iran because of Russian and Chinese resistance, so the Europeans should consider their own measures to hit credit, investment and insurance.
But Solana told reporters in New York, where he will attend the annual United Nations General Assembly session, that no such idea was on the EU's agenda.
"That debate has not started for the moment in the EU. There has been one statement (by Kouchner) but I can tell you the EU as such has not started debating that issue. No country has put that kind of issue on the table," he said.
Foreign ministers of the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany are due to meet on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly on Friday to discuss how to apply further pressure on Tehran.
Russia and China have argued that there should be no third sanctions resolution while Iran is cooperating with the U.N. nuclear watchdog to clear up questions about its past nuclear program.
Asked about another round of sanctions, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters "the third track" was an invention "by the Americans and the French, not us."
Washington and Paris argue that the process with the International Atomic Energy Agency should not be used to delay further action, since Iran continues to defy the Security Council by continuing with uranium enrichment.

Opining in today's Washington Post, former Prime Minister Tony Blair writes:
Unless the United States radically reduces its greenhouse gas emissions, along with other major emitters, the damage to the climate will be irreversible. … Over the past few years, the debate on climate change has shifted profoundly.
Clearly, many countries and companies are realizing that, far from being a detriment to their economies, acting early to cut emissions can increase productivity and give them a competitive edge.
Mr. Blair may want to devote less time to convincing Americans how wonderful massive energy taxes will be for their economy, and more time defending the fast crumbling consensus for them in his home country. The Independent reported earlier this month:
More than seven in 10 voters insist that they would not be willing to pay higher taxes in order to fund projects to combat climate change, according to a new poll.
The findings make depressing reading for green campaigners, who have spent recent months urging the Government to take far more radical action to reduce Britain's carbon footprint. The UK is committed to reducing carbon emissions by 60 per cent by 2050, a target that most experts believe will be difficult to reach. The results of the poll by Opinium, a leading research company, indicate that maintaining popular support for green policies may be a difficult act to pull off, and attempts in the future to curb car use and publicly fund investment in renewable resources will prove deeply unpopular.
Three in 10 (29 per cent) of all respondents would oppose any more legislation in support of green policies, while close to a third of citizens (31 per cent) believe that green taxes will have no discernible effect on the environment since people will still take long-haul flights regularly and drive carbon-heavy vehicles.
Mark Hodson, of Opinium Research, said: "Britain appears to be feeling increasingly negative about being more carbon neutral. We are questioning the truth behind being greener and many feel that Government is creating a green fear for monetary gain."

It was due to His hypostatisation and hence appropriation of Human Nature that His suffering was possible, hence we speak of Him suffering in or according to the flesh, as opposed to in or according to His Divinity.
what kind of glasses do you wear when you read man?
http://www21.rapidupload.com/d.php?file=dl&filepath=3516This is the first part of the Syrian Fraction found in many Coptic Liturgical Books (the recording is in fact my own poor attempt to play fake-priest since I couldn't find a recording of it online); it reflects the consistent OO emphasis on the Person of God the Word being the subject of death. The words are:"Thus truly did the Logos of God suffer in the flesh,Was slaughtered and humbled on the Cross,And His soul was separated from His body;But His Divinity was never separated,From His soul, nor His body."
Rather we should say that the Incarnate Son of God was born, and that the Incarnate Son of God suffered and died on the Cross. That is something both EO's and OO's agree on. At least I think it is. Goodness knows, I am not a theologian. Someone correct me on this if I am wrong. In any event, I think you will find that EO's and OO's agree on a lot more things than many people realize.
Oh no I agree with you. My point is that if Christ has only one nature, can He really die? That nature we are to assume has characteristics of both the Divine and human, however the Divine of Christ cannot die, in that the Word of God cannot die before the Incarnation. How would the Incarnation change anything? However Christ had a real physical Death, and so how else can we say that He died but then to say His human nature died? This may be an oversimplification of a mystery, however the other result merely leads to unnecessary confusion.
Are you familiar with the Communication of Idioms?
My brain's about to explode. Whatever happened to "It's a mystery?"All I know is that attributing different actions to different natures splits Christ up into two persons. At least that is how St. Cyril saw it. As indicated above, I most often see this with Protestants. They don't want to call the Virgin Mary "Mother of God," so I sometimes get people saying that "Mary gave birth to his human nature." To which I respond: "I thought St. Mary gave birth to a Baby, who happened to be the Incarnate Word." Then I bring up Nestorianism, which confuses them, because they don't know who Nestorius is, because their knowledge of Church history is so bad. It just gets ridiculous.
"To the same purpose the all-wise Peter also said when he wrote of Christ as having 'suffered in the flesh,' and not in the nature of his ineffable godhead. In order that he should be believed to be the Saviour of all, by an economic appropriation to himself, as just said, he assumed the sufferings of his own Flesh." (St. Cyril of Alexandria; Epistle to John of Antioch)
"the Son of God is said to have been crucified and buried, since he suffered these things not in the divinity itself whereby the Only-begotten is co-eternal and consubstantial with the Father, but in the weakness of the human nature." (St. Leo the Great of Rome; The Tome of St. Leo)
I'm seriously not trying to argue.
"For the Word, perceiving that no otherwise could the corruption of men be undone save by death as a necessary condition, while it was impossible for the Word to suffer death, being immortal, and Son of the Father; to this end He takes to Himself a body capable of death, that it, by partaking of the Word Who is above all, might be worthy to die in the stead of all, and might, because of the Word which was come to dwell in it, remain incorruptible, and that thenceforth corruption might be stayed from all by the Grace of the Resurrection." (St. Athanasius; On the Incarnation of the Word 9:1)
"Now, the Word of God in His man's nature was not like that; for He was not bound to His body, but rather was Himself wielding it, so that He was not only in it, but was actually in everything, and while external to the universe, abode in His Father only. And this was the wonderful thing that He was at once walking as man, and as the Word was quickening all things, and as the Son was dwelling with His Father. So that not even when the Virgin bore Him did He suffer any change, nor by being in the body was [His glory] dulled: but, on the contrary, He sanctified the body also. For not even by being in the universe does He share in its nature, but all things, on the contrary, are quickened and sustained by Him. (St. Athanasius; On the Incarnation of the Word 17:4-6)
"Accordingly, when inspired writers on this matter speak of Him as eating and being born, understand that the body, as body, was born, and sustained with food corresponding to its nature, while God, the Word Himself, Who was united with the body, while ordering all things, also by the works He did in the body showed Himself to be not man, but God the Word." (St. Athanasius; On the Incarnation of the Word 18:1)
However my point still stands the Divinity cannot die.
It seems to agree with the Chalcedonian position.
Given that deity is spiritual, not physical, it would be impossible for His divinity to have suffered physical torment. But did His divinity suffer emotionally during His crucifixion? Peace.
Salpy--don't you think it's time to move this one to the private forums?
That's nice. Nothing St Athanasius has ever said is adverse to the non-Chalcedonian position.

Discover What Really Causes Lower Back Pain and How You Can Finally Get Lasting Relief
What is lower back pain?
Lower back pain can have many causes, such as a pulled back muscle, disc problems, arthritis, or sacroiliac joint dysfunction. In cases where there has not been a definitive diagnosis, the next question that should be asked is: How long have you been suffering? Your pain will fall into one of two categories: acute (which indicates a recent occurrence) or chronic (the pain has been with you for an extended period of time).
What causes lower back pain?
The two most common reasons for lower back pain are trauma and muscle imbalances. Muscle imbalances can have a negative effect on your posture, leading to what are called "postural dysfunctions." These dysfunctions include abnormal alignment of the pelvis and abnormal curvature of the spine. This misalignment causes increased wear and tear on the joints, muscles, and ligaments—even the discs.
The most important thing to understand about any lower back pain is that, barring trauma, it doesn't happen overnight. You may be come symptomatic very quickly, but it takes a long time for the condition to get to the point where your back finally gives way and becomes painful.
What are the symptoms of lower back pain?
The majority of the complaints range from local pain to radiating pain in the legs or arms, depending on where the herniation is located.
Back pain that causes loss of bowel or bladder control is deemed a medical emergency, so anyone who experiences either of these symptoms should get to the ER as quickly as possible.
What are the most common lower back pain treatments?
Cortisone injections and prescriptions for muscle relaxants or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most common treatments employed by physicians.
Chiropractors and physical therapists usually offer spinal mobilization, hot packs, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and therapeutic exercises.
Surgery should always be your last option and should only be considered if the severity of your condition warrants it.
Why do traditional lower back pain treatments fail?
Most traditional treatments fail because they simply address the symptoms and fail to address the cause of the condition. Your low back pain is a physical problem, and it requires a physical solution. There are no pills or injections that can restore postural balance in your body because they are unable to take the pressure off the nerve or make the joints work better.
Which lower back pain treatments work best?
When you have lower back pain and you do not have a proper diagnosis the first suggestion is to seek proper medical attention. Even then there are cases when a proper diagnosis is not given, in that case a conservative approach should be considered.
The use of ice (first 48 hrs) and or heat (after 48hrs) can help control inflammation, pain and stiffness, other natural approaches including enzyme therapy can be of benefit to help control the symptom of the condition.
In most cases of lower back pain, Trigger Points will play a small roll, Trigger Points do three things, them make a muscle (tight, weak and painful) so daily trigger point therapy is recommended immediately combined with muscle balances therapy, in order to restore a more neutral and balanced posture.
Inversion Therapy can also be very effective in releasing some of the stress and compressive forces on the spine not to mention the many numerous health benefits.
But the most important thing to address is muscle imbalances. While there are many things that cause or contribute to back pain, muscle imbalances are the biggest physical cause as they pull your body out of alignment.
The good news is, muscle imbalances are relatively easy to identify and address. Once you know which imbalances you have, you then can correct the imbalances by performing the right combination of corrective lower back pain exercises and stretches.

50 Years of Back Pain Gone in Just Days!
Jerry Talisman had suffered from chronic back pain on and off for over 50 years. Like most people, he had tried it all… chiropractors, physical therapy, he even overdosed on tylenol but nothing gave him lasting relief until he discovered muscle balance therapy.
Unlike most treatments which only deliver temporary relief, if any at all, muscle balance therapy delivers lasting relief to 8 out of 10 people who use it because it addresses the underlying cause of the pain, not just the symptoms.
If you suffer from any type of back pain, neck pain or sciatica, I urge you to learn more about this breakthrough new treatment. Click here to learn more…

Dear Let's Talk Credit, I recently added my partner on to one of my credit cards. He is now considering filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. I'd like to know what effect, if any, this might have on my own credit rating. -- Tony
Continue Reading Below
Dear Tony, When you say "added my partner to one of my credit cards," I assume you mean you added him as an authorized user on one of your existing credit cards. As an authorized user, your partner is not financially responsible for the account, but the account would appear on both your credit report and your partner's credit report. This particular account with your partner would not be affected by his bankruptcy filing. Only those accounts where your partner is responsible for payment would be included in the bankruptcy.
Accounts included in the bankruptcy or any nonpayment on accounts will only have a negative effect on your credit if they are joint accounts owned by both of you. If you are a joint owner on an account, you are both responsible for making payments. The activity on the account will be reported on both of your credit reports. To avoid damaging your credit, all joint accounts should be paid on time and kept out of the bankruptcy if at all possible.
Before your partner files for bankruptcy, I would encourage him to seek help from a nonprofit credit counseling agency. He may be able to work out a repayment plan with his creditors utilizing a debt management plan. On a DMP, creditors often lower interest rates and stop charging over-the-limit and other fees. The accounts on the plan are turned inactive and are typically repaid over five years.
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy requires the expense of an attorney and filing fees. The bankruptcy will severely damage his credit and remain on his credit report for 10 years. He will be required to repay his creditors using all disposable income for the duration of the repayment plan (typically five years). A debt management plan may allow him to repay his creditors in the same period without involving the courts and without the damage to his credit that would be incurred with a bankruptcy.
Regardless of what your partner decides to do about his debt, the best way to protect your credit is to keep your accounts separate and keep making on-time and as-agreed payments on any joint accounts that you have.
Let's keep talking!

Antón - There are other interested teams
One of Euskaltel's biggest ever stars and favourite sons, Igor Antón, is still looking for a team for 2014.
The 30-year-old has long been linked with a move to Omega Pharma-QuickStep, but his hope of signing for Patrick Lefevere's team took a big hit when news broke that Thomas de Gendt had received what's believed to be the last available spot on their 2014 roster.
"Right now I've got nothing sealed - at least not officially", he told ETB, according to BiciCiclismo. "And with time ticking away, you do get a little nervous".
Though most teams are done shopping for the winter, he's in no way lost hope he'll be riding at cycling's top level next season.
"Several doors have been opened: if it's not from Omega Pharma, there are many other interested teams.
"My aim is to secure a spot on a WorldTour outfit".
It's believed Antón had a deal in place with Omega Pharma before Fernando Alonso announced he was looking to buy Euskaltel's WorldTour license, but that deal was subsequently not signed as it appeared the team's future was in safe hands.
Various sources also have it he was close to reaching a deal with Astana at one point.
According to BiciCiclismo Tuesday evening, though, Antón may very well sign with Lefevere's team in the next few days or even hours.
The rider's agent, Giuseppe Acquadro, is reportedly meeting Lefevere in Málaga on Tuesday evening in the hope of thrashing out deal.
