Greetings everybody,
I'm a mostly self taught artist hailing from Australia but after a couple years of floating about with no real improvement and direction.. I'm considering going overseas for formal art training and to better myself in this industry that I've really fallen for. My next goal is to try and get into a good concept art school.
Beh.. enough blabbing.
Here's a bunch of art for you. Crits and comments most welcome!
A couple are finished, others are mostly quick paints. Big mixed bunch in here, I've got fanart and original stuff.
Can't say I've found a particular style that I'm most fond of working in yet. Only thing they all have in common is that they are all digital. I'm a Painter and Photoshop oh yes.
I'll progressively add more as I finish 'em.
thanks for stopping by,

Great start! Welcome to the boards, also. : )
You seem to have a great understanding of anatomy, and play freely with various poses and expressions. What's more, you seem to really love your characters (I have frequented your dA account several times in the past!), and a think this is extremely important in concept design. It's great to see so much color in your pieces, as well- I think you've got the fundamentals down, but you need to do a little "tightening" to really give 'em the extra UMPH!
Yea good start, I can't really crit sorry.
The archer and the priest are my favourite.
Keep posting!
"No, on second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place."
Good start
I´m really fond of your character-animal designs, they have all very good-chosen and readable expressions, nice...
Some crits would be.
- In some of your drawings you don´t seem to be carefull with the lightning. For example in the picture with the guy killing the rat, you have at least three different main light sources. I suggest to really focus on the light situation (direction of main light; rim lights; colors etc..) right on the start of the painting.
- Some of the paintings could use a little mor contrast between the lights and the darks now your color range is mostly more in the midtones, if there is a lack of contrast things tending to look kind of flat, for example the armor.
I know i´m way not the best painter on this board but maybe you cand find something useful out of it
keep it up
cool stuff man you have a good sense of color keep up the good work
i really like your stuff. I'm interested to see what your rough sketch stuff looks like. Please share some sketches.
Karein Samuel Gray amarryth
Sway West - Hey thanks for the kind words mate! They're really encouraging.
Delmar - You have a good point there about contrast, I will def try out colours that are further from midtones for my next painting. I'll try harder with the lighting too. Thanks!
Sanest, Smid, FactorZero - Thanks guys!
Here are some sketches from today. My hand skills have really gone down the drain since I discovered tablet drawing a couple years back, so my pencil drawings are suffering. I'm aiming to start doing one traditional rendering a day.
The rest are tablet drawings done in Painter. (green one was done last month) The landscapes are half-hour dabblings in Artrage.
Awesome start to the sketchbook! I've seen your work on DA (I watch you, actually), glad to see you posting here. Glad to also see you exploring traditional media. I'd love to see some figure studies in here.
Lovely use of color in those landscape studies. Can't wait to see more!
Nilaffle - Thanks much!!
Going back to the basics.. now that I'm trying to learn anatomy properly I realise that my knowledge of them is pretty poor indeed. D=
Ew my pencil drawings are ugly.
Hi, longwrat.
Your art is awesome, now I appreciate your comment in my SB even more
I wonder if there's a way to bookmark threads here at CA.org...
here's my DA account. S
and here's my sketchbook! check me out if you like concepts of soldiers and warriors of all sorts.
wow man, a lot of nice works here. your digital pieces are very strong. your use of colors are great and you're also pushing your characters as well. you have expressions in them and good designs. any chance are you influenced by howl miyazaki (not sure if thats the right spelling)?
as for your traditional skills, you have a lot more room to improve on =p not really sure how you can be so good with the tablet and not even better with a pencil =p i dont know if this isnt said to you before but dont pet your lines. try to make it all in one stroke if possible.
Moai - amer-nazri - the red shoe - Yautja892 - Katfayheirti - MonsterKill
very expressive sketches! i like your strong sense of form. perhaps slightly enhanced shadow/light contrast would emphasize your characters even more.. i really like the priest and the hunter with the boar over his shoulders, and the pyramid head lady is giggle inducing
blog | sketchbook | twitter
Merlkir - Hey thanks for stopping by!
theredshoe - Yea, I'm a huuuge Hayao Miyazaki fan! I've had this really embarrassing handicap of not being able to use traditional methods properly ever since I started doing digital art about 5 years ago.. it's pretty bad because I've gotten so used to drawing with the tablet I forgot how to draw well on paper. I hadn't sat at my drawing table for a couple of years before I started this sb here in CA to get into it again. Thank you for your advice, I'll pay more attention to making my lines on paper stronger and less hairy.
deadred - Someone else pointed out the point about how I could use more shadow and contrast too, I'll be keeping an eye out for my next painting. Thanks for your tip, much appreciated!
Today's bits and pieces:
a Loomis proportions study on paper
a nib pen drawing I completed over two days(gillott 404 nib)
a couple of quick unreffed heads in Painter
and a 20 min doodle in Artrage.
Heya! This last update is looking good. That's a helpful exercise in proportions, I should look at Loomis at some time. And the ink drawing is most impressive; good contrast and detail. I can imagine that took two days!
Also, I want to say thank you for your comments in my sb. I think that's an excellent suggestion you made, doing daily color studies. Amusingly enough I think we've got the same struggle, but in reverse. I hope to get to your level of digital painting somewhere in our next 20 pages I'll be keeping an eye out here, keep posting!
nilaffle - cheers once again!
Just a small update this time round, Easter holidays messed up my drawing routine and I didn't get to draw as much as I should have.
Really glad to see you're still posting, longwrat! You've got some great studies up-- I'm really exited to see how much you progress in this SB.
Also! Do you have any rats at the moment? The last of the three I had most recently died late last year, and I always swear that I quit rats after they go-- it's just too painful! But now I'm itchin' again. :3
Sway West - Yea I've got 7 rats right now. People tell me I'm crazy for having so many, but I can't help it, they fascinate me too much. Are you getting more?
Updates for today.. a bit of bone studies from the Sarah Simblet book and a WIP:
Hey longwrat nice SB.
I personally reckon that some of your colored images could use stronger contrast, but as most of your subject matters are Asians, I think the washed, muted look is pretty appropriate.
This one is my favourite http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...1&d=1174738668
Thanks for the kind words! First comment for me ever! Great work! especially the tablet stuff. great color. makes me want to go buy one, as im still working with basicly just pencils (and just getting into paint and ink). I think its time to make the leap. cheers. dyl.
SketchBooK! please crit it hard! i want to learn!
cool stuff bro.
A few things, all done in Painter ~
Going through your sketchbook is a really pleasing experience. Your work with the tablet is very inspiring. I really find it strange to compare your pencils with the paintings. Regarding colors I can not crit, its really good. About the tablet, what size is it? The smaller tablets force you to work indirectly, a small trace produces longer stroke. You just need to get used to pencils, so practice a lot.
@edve's realmSKETCHBOOK
Jeri, perilous, maxetormer - Thanks guys!
Utum - I'm glad you took the time to have a look at my sb, and thanks for your comment. My tablet is an intuos2 6x8, and my monitor is a 22" widescreen lcd. So yeah, quite a difference in size between the two! No wonder it was such a strange sensation working in pencil again.
Couple of things:
Bottle was done in ink, some pencil sketches of arm studies, and the rest are digital stuff done in Painter. Last one is my COW from a couple weeks back.
Some pencil sketches, and some digitally drawn ones. Can you spot the difference? haha. I still have a long ways to go to bring the raw stuff to the quality of the digital stuff..
Cool studies as always. Love post #17, the skeleton and that last painting, very dynamic. Solid anatomy in the last post too - the lady's legs are a bit big, but that might be a style thing, and she still looks cool. Your pencil strokes are getting more confident. The sketch of the kissy dude (and the kissy chick ) are great; awesome faces and angles. I'd love to see more fully rendered pencil drawings.
Awesome paints as usual, especially how you handle fur and hair.
cool updates, I like the couple by the stream in a forest..
here's my DA account. S
and here's my sketchbook! check me out if you like concepts of soldiers and warriors of all sorts.
Great stuff! I especially like the guy with a mouth for an abdomen in your first post. Another great self-taught for me to watch! Keep it up, man.

Hey Longwrat, thanx for your comment! I really appreciate it and was wondering if you would have any tips for a rookie. I really enjoyed those digitals. A lot of good stuff in here. Keep postin more cool stuff!
nilaffle- No it wasn't a style thing, it was just me drawing her legs too big ^^; I still need to practice on the ladies. Thank you!
Merlkir- Thanks Merl!
iMaiM- cheers man!
gmags- Thanks mate, I'll pop by your sketchbook!
updates this time:
- quick pencil sketches of my hand
- a 15min speedpaint in Artrage (eyeballed some ref)
- rough paints of a pair of commissioned samurai characters
- attempted to colour the kissyface ogreman but this was as far as I got because I can't get the colours working right. bah

Despite leading for much of the second half, Hawaii fell to 0-15 all time in Reno as Nevada handed its guests from the islands a 77-74 loss in front of 5,452 fans at Lawlor Events Center Saturday night.
Hawaii scored the first basket of the second half and went on top 36-35. The Warriors looked ready to snap their skid in the Truckee Meadows as they wound up extending their edge to seven three different times. The last of those times came at 70-63 after Hawaii big man Vander Joaquim converted a 3-point play with 4:48 remaining in the Western Athletic Conference clash.
Unfortunately for Hawaii, that's when things started to unravel. Nevada scored the next 10 points of the game and for all intents and purposes stole the win.
The run started when Malik Story recognized a Hawaii defender backing up as he got the Wolf Pack into its half-court offense. So Story pulled the trigger and buried a trey from the top of the key.
Pack point guard Deonte Burton took over from there. He buried a 15-foot jumper, then canned a pair of foul shots to deadlock the score at 70-70. Then he knocked down an off-balance 3-pointer from the top of the key to forge Nevada back on top, 73-70, its first lead since halftime. Burton's heroics came on consecutive possessions.
A Burton jumper with 38 seconds left gave Nevada a 75-71 advantage but Hawaii's Zane Johnson dropped a 3-point bomb from the wing, trimming Nevada's lead to one with 28 ticks remaining.
The 3-pointer proved to be the final points of the night for Hawaii. Story iced the win with a pair of free throws at the 10-second mark, accounting for the final three-point margin.
"I think the guys payed as hard as they have all season," Hawaii coach Gib Arnold said. "We just didn't finish the game."
Nevada helped its cause by limiting Johnson. Hawaii's sharp-shooting guard came into the game averaging 15-plus points per contest but was held to 11 Saturday on 4-of-13 shooting.
"We tried to make him work hard for everything. We really wanted him to earn all of his points," Nevada coach David Carter said, alluding to Johnson.
Joaquim and Joston Thomas made up for Johnson's off night. Hawaii's dynamic front-court duo combined to make 16-of-25 shots from the floor and finished with 22 and 21 points respectively.
"They're a good team," Burton said of Hawaii. "They ran their offense efficiently. We couldn't get stops. They're just a good team. It was a good game all around."
The win is Nevada's 11th straight. It's the program's longest streak since the 2005-06 squad won 14 in a row. Nevada (14-3, 4-0 WAC) has not lost since falling 76-55 to BYU in Chicago on Nov. 25.
On Saturday, neither team could pull away in the first half. The Wolf Pack's largest lead before the break was five, on two occasions. The second of those came after a Jerry Evans tip-in with 1:21 left in the first half.
Hawaii (10-7, 2-1) responded with a pair of free throws and a putback of its own in the final 47 seconds and trailed by only one at halftime, 35-34.
Hawaii's biggest lead of the first 20 minutes was three, at 7-4 four minutes into the contest. The Warriors last lead of of the first half came at 28-27 following a Johnson 3-pointer with just over three minutes left before the intermission.
Nevada proceeded to score eight of the next 10 points and grab its 35-30 lead.
Burton torched the Hawaii defense for a game-high 25 points while Czyz, who was 11-of-14 shooting, wrapped up his night with 24 points and 11 rebounds. Story added 15 points to the winning cause.
"In the first half he was struggling," Carter said of Burton. "We talked in the second that he had to be a little more aggressive. We knew he was ready to go."
Hawaii actually shot the ball better Saturday night, 29-of-58 (50 percent), compared to Nevada's 27-of-59 (45.8). However, Nevada was a solid 18-of-22 from the charity stripe while Hawaii was just 12-of-17.
Despite Hawaii's bigger front line, Nevada still won the rebounding battle 35-32 and had fewer turnovers, 15-12.
The Wolf Pack returns to the court Tuesday when it hosts Nebraska-Omaha at 7 p.m.

Oval Platter
Yorktowne, a classic stoneware pattern, has a deep blue, hand-applied floral motif that adds dimension to the smooth glaze that is reminiscent of early salt-glaze techniques. Serve loads of hamburgers, hot dogs, steak or chops. The sloped sides of this spacious platter will keep all that good BBQ sauce on the food, not your table. The Yorktowne platter is microwave & dishwasher safe and goes great with other Pfaltzgraff Yorktowne pieces, like dinnerware sets, serving bowls and more. Platter is 14 inch long x 9-3/4 inch wide.

Surprisingly, private schools seem to have much more scholarship opportunities than public schools. I did receive a scholarship when I entered Anna Maria, but although I applied for financial aid I did not receive any. But as far as the process went, the schools financial aid office made it very easy and could answer any questions.
Anna Maria loves students that show interest. Since it is a private college it can get pretty pricey.
I received a scholarship based on my academic achievements in high school. There are not many opportunities for middle class students to receive aid without academic achievement.
Not all that great but they try and give any one who needs one something
Each Anna Maria student is given a merit scholarship based on grades, activities, community service etc. They start at 100.00 and can go up to 17,000.00. It is also based on need. The Financial aid department is very helpful with making sure each student understands all their options and availablities with scholarships.

She has her moments.
No, she's adorkable.
If by "adorkable" you mean "I'm perfectly aware of how attractive I'm considered in some circles but I shall endeavor to perfect an affectation of awkwardness and quirkiness in order to maintain the illusion that I'm completely unaware of, and/or slightly uncomfortable with, how attractive I'm considered in some circles"...
annnnnnd...that's Jenga!
She has an acting range that Michael Cera could only dream of having, I'll give her that.
Kind of adorable...like watching Special Needs kids trying to play soccer is adorable. Or the way my two year-old cousin is adorable as he grins when dropping a load in his pants.

OSHAWA -- Boone Jenner and Scott Laughton have left Oshawa with a win under their belts, albeit not the most impressive one of the Ontario Hockey League season.
With the two star centres leaving Saturday for their respective NHL camps in Columbus and Philadelphia, the Generals had jump in their step early and burst out to a 3-0 lead over the rival Peterborough Petes Friday before a record crowd of 6,269 at the General Motors Centre.
But the Petes showed no quit, battled back to tie the game and came close to winning it in overtime before the Generals finally prevailed 4-3 in a shootout.
Neither Laughton or Jenner was able to score in the shootout, leaving Bradley Latour as the hero, as he made a nifty move on Petes goalie Michael Giugovaz and beat him with a high shot to spark the celebration.
Jenner did score his 30th goal of the season in regulation, on a five-on-three power play, making the score 3-0 midway through regulation time.
The Petes, who appear to be well beyond playoff hope after losing their top three scorers prior to Thursday's trade deadline, whittled away and eventually tied the game when Stephen Pierog beat Daniel Altshuller with a soft goal 2:58 into the third.
Altshuller redeemed himself by stopping Greg Betzold on a partial breakaway in overtime and making five of six saves in the shootout to record his league-best 24th win of the season.
Betzold scored the only Petes goal of the shootout, while Michael Dal Colle and Latour found the mark for the Generals.
Justin Dundas, just acquired from Sarnia, and Dal Colle had the other Oshawa goals in regulation, while Stephen Nosad and Nick Czinder had the others for the Petes.
The Generals improved to 24-15-1-2 and remain tied with the Belleville Bulls (23-12-3-2) atop the East Division standings.
The Petes are now 12-24-3-3, three points better than the Ottawa 67's, but 12 back of a playoff spot.

In this case (as opposed to generally) the hypocrites who disfigure [literally, ruin!] their faces may well evoke the original sense of "hypocrites" as actors in the theater, who typically wore large theatrical masks. Fasting typically accompanied grief, often the sorrow of penitence (Neh 1:4-7; 9:1-2; Zech 7:5; Sirach 31:26; Judith 4:9-13). Yet as Joel put it, the true penitent must rend his or her heart and not merely garments (2:13); Isaiah declared that the true fast was to act for justice (Is 58:6-10). Fasting is a time of drawing close to God by demonstrating our commitment to him. Normally coupled with prayer in the New Testament (Acts 9:9; 13:2-3; 14:23; compare Ezra 8:23; Neh 1:4), biblical fasting is not asceticism for asceticism's sake (Col 2:18-23). Many Pharisees may have fasted twice a week as a mark of piety (Lk 18:12; b. Ta`anit 12a); but I fear that some early Christians missed the point of this passage when they insisted that believers should not fast on Mondays and Thursdays like the "hypocrites," but rather on Wednesdays and Fridays (Did. 8:1).
Under normal circumstances people trimmed beards or changed clothes before appearing in public, as well as anointing themselves. (Palestinian Jews used oil to clean and anoint their skin, especially on their heads; t. Sebi`it 6:9; ARN 3A, probably to lubricate dry scalps.) Because penitent fasting included afflicting oneself (Lev 23:32), for most Jewish people the most extreme fasts meant not only abstaining from food but also practicing other forms of self-abasement like not shaving, washing one's clothes, anointing or having intercourse (m. Ta`anit 1:6; 4:7; Yoma 8:1). Jesus is so concerned with keeping one's righteousness private that he prohibits customary features of what his contemporaries considered a strict fast.
It may be difficult for a member of a family to get around explaining why he or she is not sharing a meal, but in normal circumstances we may wish to observe Jesus' warning as literally as possible to guard our own motives before God. If we want our credit with God, we need to be satisfied that he alone knows, for we can trust that his reward will be more than adequate.

Humble >Tejas Toyota
19011 Hwy 59 N, Humble, TX | Directions 7733829.994143 -95.272926
M-F 8am-9pm, Sa 8am-7pm, Su Closed
Neighborhoods: Humble
Bought a 2014 Tundra 3 weeks ago. I have dealt with Tejas for 9 years now and have nothing negative to say. Benjamin Plenos and Robert Coronado worked hard and fast to get it done. Very friendly and energetic. I will continue my business with them. recommend with all 10's.
Free Doughnuts, Coffee and Fresh Popcorn in the Service waiting room.
Great Buying Experience – I bought a 4x4 tundra from Tejas about a week ago and I was extremely happy with the sales guy kevin and he took great care of me. i got a great price and he didnt hassle me at all. He said he had only been there a few months but he was so knowledgable about there cars. I reccomend him for any questions you have and will be back for my next car.
Great experience!!! – In reading the other reviews, my experience was completely different. I dealt with Michael in regards to my new Camry SE and I have to say that I was pleasantly suprised at the attention to detail and also his compassion for my wants and needs. He made buying a new car simple and easy, but most importantly I didn't have to deal with all the back and forth that usually goes on.
I love my new car and I would recommend Tejas Toyota and if you go ask for Michael he will take good care of you.
Can you give a ZERO star rating?! – Today (06/18/11) I went to Tejas Toyota car shopping with my 18 y/o daughter. We walked into Tejas Toyota and they were obviously busy so we stood and waited for someone to come assist us. While standing there waiting, a large man (salesman?) sat at his desk and more than twice looked up at me only to ignore me. After standing there about 5 minutes a male customer enters the store (I am a female and mind you we are standing right inside that door) and the large car salesman runs right over to him to ask if he could assist him. I just stood there as my jaw dropped in disbelief! I said in a raised voice, "REALLY???" I explained that I had been standing there only to be ignored and a male customer walks in and he runs right to him. This less than a man car salesman tells me that they obviously are not going to be able to help me and that I could leave! We did just that. We left and went to ROBBINS CHEVROLET where we were treated very nicely and my daughter bought a 2010 Toyota Corolla. Way to go Tejas Toyota!! I'm sure Robbins Chevrolet appreciates that and the fact that it gives them more business. This was not racial discrimination as I am 42 y/o, upper middle class and white. It was very much sexual discrimination by that particular weasle. There was one car salesman who was much older who came over profusely apologizing for they way the weasle acted. The older gentleman was a sweetheart, but I want nothing to do with a business that employs people like the large weasle working for them!
Second worst Dealer – These service people do not have a clue of what they are doing when they sell an extended service contract. Fools being led by more fools. Liars cheats and outright thieves. Now answer back you bunch of BUMS.
Great Scion Buying Experience -- Ask for Mr. Vines!! – My husband and I have both purchased Scions from Tejas Toyota/Scion within the last year, and we both had great experiences!!
Ask for Euel (pronounced "Yull") Vines...he was very professional and really work hard for us. We knew what we wanted and we drove from Austin to pick up our cars (Release Series xD and xB). We were in and out in under an hour which we very much appreciated.
I have sent other friends to him since buying my Scion in July (he also sells cars in the used car dept) and they have all had great experiences.
I'm not sure about the new car department, but I would definitely buy another car from Mr. Vines. He ROCKS!
Beware... – We have previously purchased TWO vehicles at Tejas over the 15 years we've dealt with them. We went back after 8 years with every expectation of another pleasant and satisfying experience.
Instead we had a NIGHTMARE.!!!! We dealt with one salesman who didn't seem to want to help us. We subsequently dealt with the internet sales person and he helpfully and courteously arranged a fair price and we agreed to buy the car. We even offered to make a deposit by credit card to hold the car for the 6 hours it would take us to get there. This was refused, saying they would save the car for us, no problem.
When we arrived, another manager had gotten another buyer to buy the car out from under us. We sat for hours waiting to see if we were going to get the car we had been promised.
We finally deduced that they were using us as leverage to get the other buyer to pay more. We sat isolated and very uncomfortable, and finally had to search through the building for a person, only to find that , "Oh, yes , the other people bought the car. We didn't have to honor our agreement to sell to you." It truly was a nightmare.
I'm sure God was looking out for us, because we wouldn't have wanted a further relationship if the dealership attitude has changed so radically. I just feel sorry for the other buyer.
Maybe this is not a common occurence, but I got very bad vibes.
Bad Managers – I called for a specific vehicle. I got an email that they have it in stock. We drove 50 miles one way just to find the other vehicle. The 6' 6" toll Manager came out from no where. When I told him that why you guys lie to lure customers on your lot, he got offended and told me that he sold that particular vehicle just a few hours ago. I said, it is highly co-incidental. He said, he did not lie. I asked him to show me the sale, if he is right. He declined and asked me to leave the parking lot and started shouting. HE WAS a lier, and he got caught.
Not only I will never go there, I recommand YOU NOT TO GO THERE! There are plenty of nicer Toyota Dealers out there.
Worst experience ever... NEVER will I recommend – To all readers and to TEJAS.
I was recommended to this dealership because of the price of a car, through a friend. Went there, bought it and later found out that it was a car which had at least 2 bumper accidents. The salesperson denied it at the time of sale and still does! The repairs were done so poorly and I noticed it because another friend pointed it out to me! I did notice the paint job at the time of sale but again the salemen denied it. When I took it back, the USED CAR sales manager was very rude and said, "It works well right?". That manager was so rude he got me SO upset (not exagerating). I have to buy tires now and do an alignment, get the bumper fixed properly and now I am thinking of a paint job or just traing my car to get a car I can be proud of... NEVER will I go there ever again. PLEASE do not go there. They did not stand behind their product and their attitude changed once the sale was made!

Fantasy Impact: The Hurricanes have signed winger Patrick O'Sullivan to a one-year, two-way contract. He was a member of the organization for about five minutes during the 2008 trade deadline. Carolina moved Justin Williams to Los Angeles for him, but then he was quickly flipped to the Oilers for Erik Cole.
The Hurricanes get: A skilled, but soft and inconsistent winger. O'Sullivan had a breakout offensive campaign with the Kings back in 2007-08, scoring 22 goals and adding 31 assists. Since that point, though, he has struggled to produce. He scored only 11 times with the Oilers last season, and was promptly bought out this past summer (after being traded to the Coyotes first). He was a star in the OHL, and it was easy to see why after watching him only once. He skates very well, he sees the ice like a star, and he possesses phenomenal hands.
However, he seems unwilling or unable to compete at the level required to be a positive factor at the NHL level. He is a smart player but doesn't go to the tough areas on the ice, and he has been called out numerous times for bailing out of plays to avoid a hit (one of the biggest no-no's a player can commit in the game of hockey).
Fantasy Players Impacted: A two-way deal promises him nothing, but the Hurricanes have a number of forward spots open this year. After Jokinen, there are no sure things for the top two lines. Veterans like Erik Cole and Sergei Samsonov have a leg up because of their one-way contracts, but the Hurricanes appear committed to a youth movement. O'Sullivan will be battling the likes of Jeff Skinner, Drayson Bowman, Jerome Samson, Pat Dwyer, Zach Boychuk, and Zac Dalpe for a roster spot.
O'Sullivan could even slide to center behind Eric Staal and Brandon Sutter. Center is his natural position and he is a pretty decent defensive forward when he commits himself. This may hurt the short-term value of Riley Nash. This is a classic low-risk, high-reward signing. Worst case is O'Sullivan plays exactly like he did last season, and ends up riding the bus in the AHL all season.
O'Sullivan grew up in North Carolina, and he had a troubled childhood with an abusive father (read Gare Joyce's book on the issue – O'Sullivan's dad was/is a legitimate psychopath). However, it sounds like his father has moved out of the area.
Fantasy Players this helps, in order:
1. O'Sullivan
Fantasy Players this hurts, in order:
1. Nash
2. Dalpe
3. Skinner
4. Bowman
If O'Sullivan makes the team... the lines could be as follows (bear with me, Carolina's lineup is arguably the hardest to put together right now):
Boychuk-Sutter-Cole (Boychuk and Sutter have played together and clicked in the past)
rjfisher83 said:
fzusher said:
2) There is room to accommodate Boychuk, Skinner, Tlusty, and one of Nash/Dalpe on the roster. Jokinen returned to third line center, and Samson and Dwyer are bumped to the press box (Samson) or AHL (Dwyer), end of story. If O'Sullivan is taken as a winger I think he slots into the Samson-Dwyer category - borderline roster player - for them entering camp. That's the starting point, and his performance in camp will move him up or down from there. If they try him at center, that means they keep Jokinen on wing, and then one of Boychuk-Skinner-Tlusty suffers, but really, all they have to do to secure a roster spot even in this case is outplay Larose and Samsonov, and that shouldn't be too difficult.
3) Bowman isn't hurt by this signing because Bowman was not making the team anyway, unless they had the intention to tank. Bowman was a team worst -17 on an Albany team in which two thirds of the players were even or plus and the next worst player was Mike Angelidis with -8. He is not ready for the NHL. If you expected Bowman in the NHL to start the season, get off the meds
[yes, I know everyone likes to trash +/- as a meaningless stat. It isn't. It's meaningless to compare +/- across teams, and even within teams looking at the middle of the +/- ranks, but especially when you look at AHL teams, 95% of the time, if you're in the top 3-5 players on the team in +/- then you were defensively sound and if you're in the bottom 3 on the team in +/- you were defensively crap and therefore not ready for NHL minutes on a winning team].
4) Even if O'Sullivan starts the season in the A, as long as he establishes himself as one of the top 3 callups, he'll see 30-60 games on this injury prone team, depending on how early he is called up and assuming he plays well enough on the callup.
mike hess said:
At 25, he has been through a battle with LA managment over contract, sent to siberia, EDM; plays 19 games and is injured, comes back the next year and doesn't do that well. One season does not make or break talent. Let him have his chance and then we can judge if he is lacking.
After all the abuse he has taken, to put up the gumption to take a two way deal and try again is fantastic. Yes, he has to win a slot, so Patrick go for it!!!!

LEXINGTON, MA – May 17, 2010 - Imprivata®, Inc., the company that simplifies and secures user access, announced today that Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital is providing secure access to McKesson electronic medical records (EMR) for more than 4,000 users with Imprivata OneSign®. As Phoebe Putney expanded its healthcare infrastructure to include three additional hospitals and adopted new health information systems (HIS), Imprivata played an integral role in balancing user productivity with IT security, enabling clinicians to better serve their patients. With OneSign, Phoebe Putney clinicians have fast, secure access to patient information while complying with Healthcare Information Portability and Privacy Act (HIPAA) mandates that demand detailed reporting of data access activity.
Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital is one of Georgia's largest comprehensive regional medical centers and is nationally recognized for clinical excellence and innovative community health programs. As Phoebe Putney shifted from paper-based records to EMR, password management became an issue as the number of complex passwords required to access critical applications grew significantly. The average employee had to remember between 12-15 different passwords, which was a burden to employees and resulted in a staggering increase in helpdesk calls – nearly 60 percent of calls were password related.
Imprivata's reputation and success in the healthcare market were key considerations in Phoebe Putney's evaluation of potential solutions. The hospital determined that Imprivata OneSign's overall value was the best fit for the project. Shortly after the hospital leveraged Imprivata for single sign-on (SSO) and strong authentication, including fingerprint biometrics, 2 satellite hospitals were acquired; one running Healthland and one running MEDITECH.
The flexibility of Imprivata OneSign enabled Phoebe Putney to seamlessly integrate with these systems and allowed the hospital to maintain access policies with existing applications. In deploying Imprivata OneSign, Phoebe Putney reduced password reset requests significantly and improved clinician workflow in an environment heavily reliant on roaming sessions and shared workstations. In addition, by strengthening user authentication and streamlining application access with Imprivata OneSign, the hospital is able to simplify compliance reporting while providing quick insight and granular details on patient data access.
"Imprivata's keen understanding of the needs of both caregivers and IT, coupled with its deep healthcare experience, made it the best fit for Phoebe," said Mike Elder, director of technical services at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital. "With Imprivata OneSign, we are able to strike the balance between IT security and clinician productivity while saving time, work and money."
Imprivata's Global Healthcare Division is committed to helping hospitals and healthcare organizations improve patient outcomes by simplifying and securing user access to patient health information. Imprivata OneSign, Imprivata's flagship solution, provides healthcare organizations with rapid single sign-on and strong authentication for all leading HIS vendors, including Cerner, Epic, Healthland, McKesson, MEDITECH, Siemens Healthcare, as well as all other types of applications. Key Imprivata OneSign features include OneSign FastPass, OneSign ProveID, OneSign Secure Walk-Away™, Citrix/XenApp & terminal services support, shared workstations and fast user switching, built-in support for a broad range of authentication and multiple card types, self-service password reset and seamless integration with context management solutions.
"As healthcare organizations migrate patient information to electronic format, it is critical that they invest in technologies that improve security and satisfy compliance regulations without disrupting clinician workflow," said Omar Hussain, Imprivata president and CEO. "Phoebe initially came to Imprivata to solve core password management problems for accessing McKesson EMR at one hospital. They discovered that Imprivata OneSign could easily scale and extend the value of their HIS investments by simplifying and securing access to patient information across all their systems. We are delighted that the solution continues to meet the needs of their increasing growth and expanding architecture."

"Abraham Lincoln's Northwestern Approach to the Secession Crisis"
Advisor: John B. Boles
While the migration of Abraham Lincoln's family to the Northwest has often been documented as a significant event of his youth, historians have neglected the powerful repercussions this family decision had on Lincoln's assessment of the South and the secession crisis in 1860 and 1861. Lincoln's years living and working in the Northwest from 1831 to 1861 exposed him to the anti–slave system ethos of that region's southern-born migrants. Sensitive to the restraints they believed the social system of slavery placed upon their own liberties, these former southerners simultaneously despised the slave system, hated African Americans, and sympathized with white slaveholders and nonslaveholders who remained in the South. After building his initial sense of southern society from these migrants, Lincoln spent his years as a U.S. congressman learning the significance of the Northwest Ordinance in creating the free society in which they had thrived. Emphasizing Thomas Jefferson's role in conceiving the Northwest Ordinance and utilizing statistical evidence to prove the superiority of free soil over slave, Lincoln's colleagues further expanded Lincoln's conception of the South.
All these influences combined to produce Lincoln's uniquely northwestern approach to slavery, the South, and the secession crisis. Believing that the self-interest of white nonslaveholding southerners naturally propelled them away from the South and toward free society, Lincoln perceived the slave South as a vastly unequal society controlled by a minority of aristocratic slaveholders who cajoled or chided their nonslaveholding neighbors into accepting a vision of the South's proslavery, expansionist future. As president-elect, Lincoln therefore overestimated the Unionist sentiment of southerners before and during the secession crisis. He remained convinced that the majority of white nonslaveholders would not support a secessionist movement that he believed countered their own self-interest. With time, and through careful communications with the South, he remained convinced that he could settle secessionist passions and bring southerners to trust him and the Republican Party. This northwestern perception of the South therefore explains, in part, Lincoln's silence and his refusal to compromise during the secession crisis.
"Both Native South and Deep South: The Native Transformation of the of the Gulf South Borderlands, 1770–1835"
Advisor: John B. Boles
How did the Native South become the Deep South within the span of a single generation? This dissertation argues that these ostensibly separate societies were in fact one and the same for several decades. It significantly revises the history of the origins of antebellum America's slave-based economy and shows that the emergence of a plantation society in Alabama and Mississippi was in large part a grassroots phenomenon forged by Indians and other native inhabitants as much as by Anglo-American migrants. This native transformation occurred because of a combination of weak European colonial regimes, the rise of cattle, cotton, and chattel slavery in the region, and the increasingly complex ethnic and racial geography of the Gulf South.
Inhabitants of the Gulf South between the American Revolution and Indian removal occupied a racial and social milieu that was not distinctly Indian, African, or European. Nor can it be adequately defined by hybridity. Instead, Gulf southerners constructed something unique. Indians and native non-Indians—white and black—owned ranches and plantations, employed slave labor, and pioneered the infrastructure for cotton production and transportation. Scotsmen and Spaniards married Indians and embraced their matrilineal traditions. Anglo- and Afro-American migrants integrated into an emergent native cotton culture in which racial and cultural identities remained permeable and flexible. Thus, colonial and borderland-style interactions persisted well into the nineteenth century, even as the region grew ever more tightly bound to an expansionist United States. The history of the Gulf South offers a perfect opportunity to bridge the imagined divide between the colonial and early republic eras. Based on research in multiple archives across five states, my work thus alters our understanding of the history and people of an American region before the Civil War and reshapes our framework for interpreting the nature of racial and cultural formation over the long course of American history.

In the clip, taken by an anonymous source and posted online by Mother Jones magazine, Romney was speaking to a group of campaign donors when he was asked about his strategy to win the election.
"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what," Romney said. "There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent on government, who believe they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it.
"My job is not to worry about those people," Romney said.
Within its first 24 hours on YouTube, the video was viewed 1.9 million times. The next most-viewed YouTube video of Romney, posted by his campaign team, has received 1.3 million views since it was uploaded in June.

Microsoft software engineers rushed last week to patch a critical security hole in its Web browser that, if left open, could make users vulnerable to attack.
The bug, according to Microsoft, could allow hackers to gain control of a computer if the user unknowingly visits a malicious website on Internet Explorer.
Microsoft issued a fix for the vulnerability, which users can download via the Microsoft Update program on Windows computers. The German government, upon learning of the security bug, urged the public to stop using the program in favor of an alternative Web browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
Internet Explorer, pre-installed on all computers running Windows, is the most-used Web browser in the U.S.
iPhone 5 demand through the roof
Apple's new iPhone hit store shelves Friday, and the device's debut online led to record demand and record stock prices for the Cupertino, Calif., company.
Customers online purchased more than two million iPhones during its first 24 hours of sales Sept. 14, according to Apple marketing director Philip Schiller.
Demand for the iPhone 5 rose so quickly that Apple now says customers purchasing from its website won't receive their handsets until October. Some individual sellers on eBay are offering the device for $1,000 or more.
Apple's stock price soared past $700 a share last week ahead of the iPhone's release.
Customers began forming a queue more than a week before the phone's retail debut outside the Apple store on New York City's Fifth Avenue. Some market analysts say retail stores carrying the iPhone 5 will be sold out as soon as today.

University of Phoenix helps veterans transition into civilian life
Ever wonder what happens when veterans trade their military fatigues for a business suit?
"Once upon a time, we'd just send our veterans out into the world with a pat on the back and wish them well. But in today's tough job market, we can't do that anymore," explains Garland Williams, associate regional vice president of the University of Phoenix Military Division and a retired U.S. Army colonel.
"We owe it to our veterans to help them transition from military life into corporate America," he says.
With that in mind, University of Phoenix is launching its Start Strong Veterans Event, which will occur at 19 campus locations nationwide in conjunction with Veterans Day 2012.
The Start Strong Veterans Event features coordinated seminars that include panel discussions, workshops and networking forums — all focused on easing the transition between military and civilian life, especially when it comes to finding employment.
We owe it to our veterans to help them transition from military life into corporate America.
"This is a much bigger event than we've done for our veterans in the past," Williams notes. "Our goal is to help educate our veterans on where their job skills are and how they can put those skills to work for employers."
The University selected the 19 locations based on their high concentration of military veterans, especially those recently returned from Iraq and Afghanistan. Each location will tailor its content and speakers to fit the unique needs of its local veteran population and employer base.
Topics to be covered in the panel discussions include how long the transition period lasts, how to navigate the Veterans Affairs (VA) health care and disability system, financial issues, moving into civilian housing and how to conduct a job search.
Workshops will focus on dressing for success, adjusting to civilian life and other related topics. An open networking forum where veterans can mingle with other veterans, potential employers, and educators will run parallel to the panels and workshops.
Many event locations will feature University of Phoenix alumni veterans who will answer questions and share tips on how they handled their own transitions. The event will also help connect veterans and their families to available support resources, along with potential employers and educational opportunities.
The event is open to the general public and presented in cooperation with the Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States (EANGUS), a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the status and professionalism of enlisted military personnel.
"The civilian world is so different from the military world," Williams explains. "Military personnel are trained to lead a different lifestyle than the rest of us. We want to help them adjust to their new surroundings."

Cody Ray Borner, left, and Richard Sylvester Whitman are televised via ITV as they sit in a Mercer County Courtroom during their bond hearing performed by South Central District Judge Sonna Anderson at the Burleigh County Courthouse in Bismarck on Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012. Whitman, 29, of Hazen, and Cody Borner, 24, of Stanton, each faces two counts of conspiracy to commit murder, a charge that carries a maximum punishment of life in prison. Borner also faces a misdemeanor drug charge. He and Whitman requested court-appointed attorneys during their initial court appearances Thursday at the Mercer County Courthouse in Stanton. Michael Padilla, 22, was killed in his Beulah apartment Tuesday night, and his 21-year-old brother, Timothy Padilla of Billings, Mont., was injured. (AP Photo/The Bismarck Tribune, Mike Mccleary )

Businesses are increasingly aware of their impacts on the natural environment and mindful of the need to effectively manage such impacts. Many businesses are also helping to deliver improved conservation outcomes through the integration of biodiversity considerations into their decision-making and operational processes.
In order to successfully manage biodiversity, it is essential to measure changes resulting from business operations. Existing methodologies for monitoring changes to biodiversity are costly, excessively "scientific" and difficult to replicate beyond an individual site. A practical and credible framework that allows businesses to measure and manage their impacts on biodiversity is needed.
IUCN and Holcim have been working together since 2007 to develop robust ecosystem conservation standards for the Holcim Group and contribute to sector-wide improvements in the cement and related sectors. This work has resulted in a Biodiversity Management System (BMS) for Holcim which integrates biodiversity considerations into the company's decision-making and operations. To support BMS implementation, the IUCN-Holcim Biodiversity Advisory Panel is working on a practical system which will allow Holcim to measure their impacts on ecosystem diversity and demonstrate good land stewardship.
This workshop will bring together businesses and the conservation community to discuss the proposed IUCN-Holcim system and debate its applicability to other companies and sectors. During the workshop, IUCN, its members and partners will discuss the current thinking on indicators for business and key elements required for a common framework.
The aim of this workshop is to obtain feedback for the monitoring system proposed by the IUCN-Holcim Biodiversity advisory Panel and discuss ways in which to adapt it other companies and sectors.

PAUL SMITHS - The Paul Smith's men's soccer team got back on the winning track Tuesday with a 3-1 victory over Word of Life.
Steve Rathbun scored all three goals for the Bobcats, who improved to 6-1 overall with the victory. Taylor Young, Anthony Ventello and Tony Stuart each had an assist for Paul Smith's.
"It wasn't our best game, that's for sure," said Paul Smith's coach Bryan Mallette. "We lacked intensity tonight, but we will be working on that in practice this week and getting ready for a big conference road trip this weekend."
The Bobcats travel to St. Joseph's College on Saturday and to Hampshire College on Sunday. Paul Smith's next home game is Oct. 6 against Vermont Tech.
The Bobcats opened the season with five-straight wins before suffering their first defeat Sept. 22 against New Hampshire Technical Institute.

OK I'm Very New to this whole OSX86 stuff, but i do run ubuntu on my machines alot. so when i had the idea to try the mac os out, i ran into a problem my laptop overheats a little and the disk install takes way to long. so a usb stick was my solution. the only drawback was u need a working Mac to make one.
So here is the work around i have found.
First there are a Few things that u will need
1) One working Install Distro (at this point i'm assuming that any one would work ine was Kalyway_10.5.2_DVD_Intel_Amd )
2) Two thumb-drives the same size (the size u need depends on Distro you use i only need two 4 gig)
3) a computer with Linux installed( i use Ubuntu but any version should suffice)
the step by step is long and so take look at my blog GFDL ideas

Media Alert
As the Creation Museum prepares for its grand opening on May 28, we're excited to report that the national (and international) media interest in a yet-to-open museum has been surprisingly huge. All the major TV networks and the largest newspapers in America have already taken construction tours, and many have filed their stories even before the museum has opened its doors!
We just learned that Ken Ham, AiG president, will be in studio for the FOX and Friends morning TV show on Monday (May 21) at 7:15 am Eastern Time on the FOX News Channel. Check your local TV listings if you don't live in the east to find out when the program will air in your region on Monday morning. TV schedules, of course, are subject to change—breaking news, for example, can preempt scheduled guests.
Also, look for major stories about the museum on the NBC Nightly News, Good Morning America (ABC-TV), Hannity and Colmes on FOX TV (planned for May 30), and major articles in the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Sun-Times, etc.

I have been working at Linear Technology full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Solid in most areas. Good engineering talent especially in Design and Applications. Can be financially rewarding and job security is good. 4 or 6 week (depending on position) sabbatical every 5 years in addition to normal vacation.
Cons – Company culture is somewhat stuffy, especially considering that it is a high tech company. Company tends to really adhere to the phrase "do more with less".
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Staph infections are caused by staphylococcus bacteria, a type of germ commonly found on the skin or in the nose of even healthy individuals. Most of the time, these bacteria cause no problems or result in relatively minor skin infections.
But staph infections can turn deadly if the bacteria invade deeper into your body, entering your bloodstream, joints, bones, lungs or heart.
In the past, a lethal staph infection might have occurred in a person who was hospitalized or had a chronic illness or weakened immune system. Now, a growing number of otherwise healthy people are developing life-threatening staph infections. And many staph infections no longer respond to common antibiotics.

The current debate on the European crisis has highlighted the role of fiscal imbalances in explaining the turmoil that has dominated Europe in the past few years. This paper adopts a different point of view by suggesting that intra-European payments imbalances are crucial for the survival of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Indeed, payment imbalances between the North and South have contributed to the accumulation of a large stock of foreign debt, while flows of foreign capital ceased to finance productive investments that might have contributed to debt repayments. The dynamic interplay between current account imbalances and the accumulation of foreign debt reveals that, once the system is driven into disequilibrium by a real exchange rate misalignment, the longer a payments imbalance persists and the harder the eventual adjustment will be. Capital reversals, by shifting portfolio balances, then lead the system toward instability, sovereign default, and the collapse of the exchange rate regime.

Linux Drivers For Series 6 ControllersPosted in General, Linux distributions, Open Source Support, RAID under Linux by admin
With the launch of our new Series 6 controllers, there is a significant change to the underlying hardware architecture over our Series 5 controllers. These changes require an updated driver, so the existing Adaptec AACRAID driver that has been inbox for years, will not load for a Series 6 controller. In an effort to clarify the current state of Linux support for Series 6 controllers, listed below is are the facts known as of this update (1/5/2012): An updated Linux driver, version 1.1.7-28000, was submitted to http://www.kernel.org/ for inclusion into the upstream kernel. It was officially included with the release of the 2.6.39 kernel (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.39).
Any Linux Distribution based on kernel 2.6.39 or greater should contain this updated driver and inbox (or in kernel) driver support should be available for Series 6 Adaptec controllers. § Please be aware, there is the possibility that a particular vendor may choose not to include our driver in their particular distribution, so the above point is more a guideline than a rule. Listed below are the major distributions we officially support and the current inbox support for Series 6.
RedHat - RedHat Enterprise Linux (and RHEL derivatives, such as CentOS and Scientific Linux): The Series 6 driver is not inbox with any currently available version of RHEL, this includes 4.x, 5.x, or 6.x. We are actively working with RedHat to get an updated driver inbox that will support Series 6 as quickly as possible.
Fedora: With the recent release of Fedora 16 (based on a 3.1 kernel), our 28000 driver is inbox. For Fedora 15 users, the latest security updated kernel released is based on 2.6.40, which includes our 28000 driver inbox.
SUSE – SuSe Linux Enterprise Server: The Series 6 driver is not inbox with any currently available version of SLES. However, our 28000 driver will be included in the SP2 update for SLES 11.
Debian - Debian. Our 28000 driver has been backported into Debian 6.0.2, (based on 2.6.32-39).
Canonical - Ubuntu. With the recent release of Ubuntu 11.10, based on a 3.0 kernel, our 28000 driver is inbox. No other supported version of Ubuntu currently includes our 28000 driver (11.04, 10.10, or 10.04LTS) We are actively working with Canonical on what options are available getting our updated 28000 driver included with these older kernels.
In a continued effort to improve our Linux support with Series 6, we have begun providing minimally tested drivers. These minimally tested drivers do not undergo the same rigorous qualification testing as our full release drivers, but occur more frequently allowing greater synchronized support for currently available versions of Linux we support.The tarball archive below contains driver files and instructions for RHEL/CentOS 5.2, 5.3, 5.7 & 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, and XenServer 6. To download this archive, please use the information below:http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/support/files/
Filename: aacraid_linux_drivers_min_v1.1.7-28700.tgz
Password: LETTER (all CAPS)If you experience any issues with the provided files, or have questions regarding additional supported Linux versions, please contact our Technical Support team.
Alternatively, if you are using a distribution with a kernel that is not mentioned here as supported / minimally supported, then you can compile drivers yourself using the Adaptec source code and DKMS package from the support site http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/downloads/.

At the moment and with CS5.5 there is not integrated 3D workflow in Premiere - and that is why I have asked for what version of Neo you use. My understand is that Neo 3D brings a 3D plugin to the party, that allows you do do all the adjustments that you need for 3D. But how will you do that if you use Neo only?
The second issue is that this combination CS5.5 - Neo will not habe an MVC encoder, what is requirde for 3D Blu Rays. So maybe, with Neo 3D and CS5, it is possible to export a 3D format, for example sbs full as 1080 24p. I assumet that footage can be imported in PD10, to create 3D Blu Rays. But has somebody tested if Cineform Intermediate can be imported in the PD10?

The question is, why?
Those millennials have been joined by a new group of millennials, young voters who were not old enough to vote in 2008. Research indicates these new millennial voters are far more fiscally conservative than the older millennials who supported Obama.
And even some of the older millennials are wavering.
The economy is the key.
Older millennials grew up in prosperous times and entered the job market with high expectations. Those expectations were dashed by the recession, and though they might blame policies of the previous administration for letting the economy go sour, they blame the current administration for not doing anything about it. Though most still favor Obama, that support is not what it used to be.
As for the younger millennials, they grew up watching many of their older counterparts lose their jobs, lose their savings, lose their homes, lose all those things they worked for. Their anxiety level is high and their support for the president is low.
Whether they will vote Republican is a vital part of next week's election.
They probably would if the election were purely about the economy. However, young millennials are socially liberal (or, at least, more liberal than the GOP presents itself) and while the economy is still their main concern, their hands-off attitude toward social issues like gay marriage and abortion has spilled over into economic attitudes to the point that some are turning to the Libertarian Party.
Worth noting also is that interest in organized religion is also waning among the younger millennials, something that has shown up in polls that have identified what is being called the "nones" — those with no religious affiliation.
All of this has produced a growing number of young people who respond "don't know" or "don't care" when asked if they were liberal, conservative or moderate.
Can Obama keep millennials in his camp? Can Republicans capitalize on the dissatisfaction among millennials? (The GOP is trying. Vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan has been stumping on college campuses.) Or will the millennials be so discouraged by both parties that they will either vote Libertarian or stay home?
On the answers to those questions might hang the election's outcome.
