Haruhiko MIKIMOTO
Nationality : Japan
Jobs : chara-designer, Mangaka
A very special Anime guest of honor is meeting you: Haruhiko MIKIMOTO, a famous chara-designer, celebrates the 30th anniversary of the series Macross at Japan Expo!
Come and meet Haruhiko MIKIMOTO
in conference and for signings
Haruhiko MIKIMOTO was born on August 28, 1959. Graduate from institute of technology of the Keio University, he was a fan of animation way before the end of his studies. He was hired by the studio Nue where he worked with two people who would become important in his future career: the creator of Macross, Shoji KAWAMORI, and the writer Hiroshi OONOGI.
As he was still a university student, Haruhiko MIKIMOTO joined the animation studio Artland. This experience allowed him to prove his talent on famous works such as Astroboy.
His career as a chara-designer reached a decisive turning point when, in 1982, he got associated with Shoji KAWAMORI on the Anime The Super Dimension Fortress Macross. The series is a success and Haruhiko MIKIMOTO is known as a talented chara-designer worldwide. Then he worked on the characters of the Anime Super Dimension Century Orguss.
Haruhiko MIKIMOTO left Artland to focus on illustration. He started his new career drawing for novels or magazines before launching himself in Manga with Marionette Generation. In 2001, he published the series Mobile Suit Gundam : l'école du ciel in the magazine Gekkan Gundam Ace.
Still fond of the universe of Mecha and Macross, he worked in 2009 on the Manga version of The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: The First. Still today, Haruhiko MIKIMOTO works as a chara-designer on many Anime and video games, on top of his work as an artist, a Mangaka and an animator.

Spike Lee's Michael Jackson Documentary to Premiere in Select Theaters This Month
Michael Jackson fans in New York City and Los Angeles will have a chance to see BAD25 in theaters before the Spike Lee-directed documentary airs on this Thanksgiving on ABC, according to USA Today.
The film, which celebrates the 25th anniversary of Michael's Bad album and Bad world tour, will be shown for one-week engagements starting October 19. Two select theaters, one in Manhattan and the other in Hollywood, will present the film.
It's likely that these special theater screenings are being held in order to make the documentary eligible for an Oscar nomination. In order to be nominated, a movie has to screen for at least seven days in both New York City and Los Angeles before the end of the year.
The BAD25 documentary includes rare clips and never-before-seen footage that give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Michael's landmark Bad album. The film also includes interviews with some of Michael's collaborators, including Martin Scorsese. His famous fans including Mariah Carey, Cee Lo Green and more, also appear.

The least horrible Jonas Brother.
If Kevin Jonas would just quit the boy band and take a few more guitar lessons, he might have half a chance at a decent solo career.

A heart melting-ly sweet guy... That is the absolute definition of perfection. Even if you are on the brink of tears if he starts laughing, so do you. You can't help but want to be close to him. His smile literally is irresistible.
He is the mental thought "There he is..." the weak at the knees, what is happening to me?, How is he so easy to love?, and every fiber of your being wants to go straight up to him and kiss him and tell him that you are meant. Then you realize you can't, and it breaks your heart. Kevin Jonas if you are reading this you should know that I mean every word because I'm a caring person.

Gentry: 'We have to find a way to get Beasley consistent'
Instead they've gotten an inconsistent forward averaging only 11.5 points and 4.1 rebounds through the first 19 games of the season.
Speaking with Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo, Suns head coach Alvin Gentry gave his take on what he thought would help Beasley turn his season around.
"We have to try and figure out a way to get him consistent and he's going to have to help us in that area too," said Gentry. "We just have to continue work with him to get him better at what he's doing. That's why we're here."
Gentry went on to shoot down the notion that his forward's self-confidence had been shaken and added there was no time for Beasley to begin to feel sorry for himself, especially in the NBA.
"Obviously the thing about the NBA is you don't have a whole lot time to think about it because tomorrow night we're going to be lining up and playing a Dallas team that's pretty darn good," said Gentry. "He'll get another shot of redeeming himself and being consistent and making the plays that will help us win games."
When asked about Beasley's role within the Suns organization over the next few years, Gentry said he saw Beasley becoming the offensive playmaker everyone expected coming out of college.
"I think he can be a facilitator, I think he can be a guy who makes plays for guys and I think he can score for us," said Gentry. "I think that's kind of what he is. He's a scorer, not a 'drive to the basket and crash guy.' He's just an in between guy that can score and put the ball in front of him and that's what we're expecting from him."
listen Listen: Alvin Gentry, Suns Head Coach
The guys talk to Gentry about last night's tough loss in OT against the Grizzlies. How can Michael Beasley help the Suns win games right now? Gentry previews the SUns upcoming game against the Mavericks tomorrow. Also, Gentry gives his thoughts on Jermaine O'Neal.
"I just think he has to understand and stay within what we're doing and he's got to make the play," said Gentry. "At the end of the day he's just going to have to make the play. One of the reasons we have him in there is to do that and he's got to be productive out on the floor."

FA ponder Serbia allegation response
The Football Association and the Government will await further developments from Serbian authorities before deciding how to respond to charges against two England Under-21 players and a coach.
Serbian police have submitted charges against two unnamed members of the side and one of the backroom team following their stormy Euro 2013 qualifier in Krusevac earlier this month.
The match against Serbia on October 16 was marred by allegations of racist chanting towards England players and by violent scuffles after the final whistle.
The police charges are now being considered by authorities in Serbia.
A British government spokesman said: "Serbian police have announced that they have submitted charges against two England players and an assistant coach to the public prosecutor following an incident at the England-Serbia under-21 football match in Serbia this month.
"We are investigating the full details of these charges before considering our response."
The spokesman added they were seeking clarity over the charges and their ramifications.
The FA have nothing to add beyond a statement issued on Tuesday when reports of the police charges first emerged.
They said they had not been informed of the names of the individuals concerned and were awaiting formal communication.
Their statement added: "We are in contact with the British Government for advice, as well as speaking with our colleagues at UEFA."
European governing body UEFA have said the police action will not affect their own investigation.
UEFA launched disciplinary proceedings in the aftermath of the match, charging the FA over the behaviour of their players and their Serbian counterparts (FSS) with the same and for the alleged racist chanting.
A UEFA spokesperson said: "UEFA's control and disciplinary body will meet on November 22 to deal with this case and take a decision.
"The police charges/investigation are independent from us and do not impact the sporting disciplinary proceedings."
Players and officials from both sides clashed after the match in chaotic scenes following an injury-time goal from Connor Wickham which secured a 1-0 win and passage to the finals in Israel 2-0 on aggregate.
Missiles were thrown onto the pitch as England celebrated and the scenes quickly turned even uglier as Serbian players reacted angrily.
The FSS came down heavily on this matter, handing lengthy bans to two players and two officials for their part in the confrontations.
Ognjen Mudrinski and Nikola Ninkovic were given one-year suspensions while coaches Srdjan Maksimovic and Andreja Milutinovic were handed two-year bans.
This trouble came on a night when England also alleged some of their black players had been the subject of racial abuse from the stands throughout the game.
Danny Rose felt he had been particularly targeted and the full-back was sent off after the final whistle for kicking a ball away in anger amid the chaos.
Racist chanting was not acknowledged by the FSS who also claimed Rose had acted in an "inappropriate, unsportsmanlike and vulgar manner" towards their fans.

£51m superfast broadband deal signed
Published at 16:57, Friday, 30 November 2012
THE £51m contract to bring superfast broadband to 93 per cent of Cumbrian homes and businesses was finally signed on the shores of Ullswater yesterday.
The move signalled a start to a communications revolution in the county that it is hoped will transform the fortunes of many rural communities.
BT will now embark on a two-year roll-out that will deliver speeds of up to 80Mbps for Cumbrian homes once the County Council's cabinet has met in January to agree a set of priorities which will determine the order in which communities get connected.
It will approve a plan that will show each community and business at which point in the programme they will be connected and what speeds to expect.
Those that require higher speeds will be given advice and support.
Fibre to the home technology – delivering ultra-fast speeds of up to 330Mbps – will also be deployed in certain areas and will be available on demand.
Senior BT managers and county council leaders at the launch were aware of frustrations in Ulverston about the lack of a firm date for superfast installation, but said there was no question of the town missing out.
Councillor Elizabeth Mallinson, Cumbria County Council's Cabinet member with lead responsibility for Connecting Cumbria, said. "BT will provide superfast broadband for Ulverston and for the rest of the county – we will have a timetable and a roll out so people will know where they are for the next two years.
"We have a tremendously exciting three years ahead of us, but I would ask people to be patient and allow us to deliver this huge programme in a strategic way which is in the best interests of the county as a whole."
Bill Murphy, managing director of BT's Next Generation Access, said: "The project is incredibly important for Cumbria and BT is proud to be a part of it. "Cumbria's scattered population combined with its comparatively large size and challenging geography, means that small business plays a pivotal role in the county's economy and the roll out of fibre broadband will act as an economic driver for those rural businesses.
The £51m funding has been earmarked for rural areas which would not otherwise receive broadband investment from the private sector.

Darius Rucker has had an interesting career to say the least. Since his college days at the University of South Carolina where he founded the rock band Hootie and the Blowfish, this unique vocalist has been winning the hearts and minds of loyal fans everywhere lining up for Darius Rucker tour dates. Hootie and the Blowfish would go on to achieve major stardom over the course of five albums before Rucker set off on his own in a different direction.
You can hear the first seeds of Rucker's country music potential in the lyrics and music to the Hootie song Let Her Cry. Rucker paid his dues, most memorably hawking bacon sandwiches for Burger King as a singing cowboy, but that costume proved more apt than anybody realized with the release of his first country album Learn to Live. His first single, Don't Think I Don't Think About It charted number one for Hot Country Songs and made Rucker the first black man to do that in almost 30 years.
Then he did it two more times with It Won't Be Like This for Long and Alright, kicking the door wide open for Rucker to saunter in, pull up a chair and make a critically acclaimed second album named after his birthplace and year, Charleston, SC 1966. Pick up Darius Rucker tickets to see this talented country singer writing his own legend at a Darius Rucker concert near you.

JSU has long existed as one of the state's leading educators of educators. It's a reputation the former teacher's college still owns. Historically, a notable number of students who earn education degrees there are graduates with career goals to teach and coach high school sports.
Here's the opportunity JSU shouldn't waste.
Earlier this week, statewide weight-loss program Scale Back Alabama honored four JSU assistant football coaches for their efforts. Those coaches — Jimmy Ogle, Ronnie Letson, Adam Ross and Tommy Joe Whiddon — lost a combined 120 pounds over a 10-week period.
In a Star story Tuesday, Ogle explained the problem that so many coaches face when it comes to healthy lifestyles: They work grueling schedules, travel often and habitually keep late nights. That scenario doesn't lend itself to eating and exercising properly.
"It's a lot of long days during the season, and you eat what you can," Ogle said. "It's easy to get big, especially for me, because I'm a stress eater."
JSU's opportunity is to teach future coaches the importance of monitoring their eating and exercise habits once they join the rat-race of full-time employment. Ogle and his three fellow coaches are ready-made examples.
Granted, college football coaches aren't overloaded with free time. But how fitting it would be if JSU's coaches could speak to the university's education students who have plans to coach.
We can't help but believe that hearing these men's stories — how their weight ballooned, and what they did to slim down — would make an impression on these future coaches. For that matter, JSU Athletics Director Warren Koegel could offer his four assistants up as speakers for Calhoun County's high schools, where they could deliver real-life stories to athletes and coaches here in their back yard.
This year, The Star is examining the statewide epidemic of excess weight and its many medical concerns. Alabama is a fat, unhealthy state. Changing that requires alterations in everything we do: how we eat, how we exercise, what we value, how we shop for food, and what we teach our children about healthy choices. It's a complex problem.
We lift up these four JSU coaches as positive examples. Their stories should be taken on tour. If they can better their lives, others can, too.

For Immediate Release: June 16, 2011
Minnesota joins national effort to protect vulnerable adults
ST. PAUL, MN - As the state's population continues to age, the Minnesota Department of Commerce announced today it is joining a successful nationwide effort to protect elderly Minnesotans from investment fraud and other financial scams that prey on vulnerable adults.
The Elder Investment Fraud and Financial Exploitation Prevention Program is an unprecedented national effort that educates medical professionals about how to identify senior citizens who may be particularly vulnerable to investment fraud, and then refer those at-risk patients to local Adult Protective Services (APS) professionals.
"Within this decade, there will be more Minnesotans over the age of 65 than children enrolled in our public schools," said Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman. "By 2030, one out of every four people in our state will be 65 or older.
"With our aging population, bad actors will try to exploit vulnerable, aging adults. We recognize that threat. By participating in this proven program, our aim is to prevent financial abuse of senior citizens and provide another layer of consumer protection for vulnerable Minnesotans."
New medical research shows that more than a third of Americans over the age of 71 have mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's disease, making them particularly susceptible to investment scams and other financial abuse.
"We now know that a shockingly large number of older Americans are already victims of financial swindles and millions more are in danger of being exploited in such a fashion," said Don Blandin, president and CEO of the Investor Protection Trust (IPT).
"Front-line medical professionals who deal everyday with older Americans are ideally positioned to spot the impaired mental capacity that can leave seniors vulnerable to financial abuse. This program seeks to inform doctors, nurses and others about the warning signs of elder investment fraud and financial exploitation."
According to the 2010 IPT Elder Fraud Survey, more than seven million older Americans - one out of every five citizens over the age of 65 - already have been victimized by a financial swindle. According to the IPT, con artists scam senior citizens out of $2.5 billion every year.
"Senior citizens control 70 percent of the nation's wealth - and crooks know it," Commissioner Rothman said. For the financial well-being of Minnesota's most vulnerable consumers, it is important that we have the foresight to proactively put systems like these in place that will help identify financial abuse, and protect vulnerable Minnesotans from bad actors."
The EIFFE Prevention Program is based on a successful pilot program launched by the state of Texas. It is a collaboration between the Investor Protection Trust, Investor Protection Institute (IPI), North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA), and National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA) in cooperation with leading U.S. medical associations, including the American Academy of Family Physicians, American College of Physicians, American Geriatrics Society, National Area Health Education Center Organization, and the National Association of Geriatric Education Centers.
The EIFFE Prevention Program was created by the Baylor College of Medicine, and is funded by a grant provided by the Investor Protection Trust. More information about the EIFFE Prevention Program is available online at http://www.investorprotection.org . You can also watch a short, informative video at: http://tinyurl.com/3zk2hbn .
Senior citizens have long been the target of unscrupulous investment scam artists. This is especially true of seniors who have mild cognitive impairment (MCI). According to the 2010 Investor Protection Elder Fraud Survey released in June, 7.3 million older Americans - one out of every five citizens over the age of 65 - already have been victimized by a financial swindle. The IPT survey also found that half of older Americans exhibit one or more of the warning signs of current financial victimization. For example, more than one out of three seniors (37 percent) are currently being pitched by "people (who) are calling me or mailing me asking for money, lotteries, and other schemes," while a much lower 19 percent of adult children believe that their parents are being pressured in such a fashion.
Of particular concern are seniors with mild cognitive impairment who can perform most daily functions, but have trouble or become confused with others, like following their medicine regimen and managing their finances. A 2008 Duke University study found that about 35 percent of the 25 million people over age 71 in the U.S. either have mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease. This makes them especially vulnerable to financial exploitation, including investment fraud. And researchers at the University of Alabama in Birmingham and University of Iowa have shown how older persons with cognitive impairment are more prone to make financial errors and willing to gamble with their money. In the earlier Texas pilot test, doctors taught by the Baylor College of Medicine team used the "red-flag" questions in the clinician's pocket guide to find and refer vulnerable older adults to help prevent fraud from occurring.

I have been working at Zynga as a contractor for more than a year
Pros – For a contractor, free food isn't that bad. Not to mention, though I have heard horror stories of other studios, the particular studio that I worked in was pleasant and the people I worked with were friendly and helpful. Also, it was very refreshing to have a voice within the development process and be listened to.
Cons – One studio out of multiple studios which were pleasant... the same could not be said for the others, which were most likely due to the fact that many of them had the strong possibility of folding. In addition, sometimes the negative mentality of other contractors was very demoralizing at times.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Definately the best album from them..
Sirjoker // June 01, 2013 11:23:34 AM UTC
I have this album the original signed by all the original band members. And I love it. It was given to my father when you were doing a tour in England in early 70's staying at an hotel in Queensway/ Bayswater.
Just thought I'd let you know and I wondered now how much that would be worth as it has all original band members in fact Bob Burns signed it twice.
My very best regards
Sidney Kean
Stu bro // January 06, 2013 3:59:23 AM UTC
When I want to get pumped up before going in to or leaving from work, I like to slide in Second Helping and crank up "Don't Ask Me No Questions" with Gary on lead and Ed on the slide followed by "Workin' For MCA" - that is one awesome bass line played by Leon! I put "Workin' For MCA" as one of my own personal top five of the best Skynyrd songs ever. This album is a must have for any serious Skynyrd or rock n' roll fan.

Undefeated Season?
by Joe Harrington
posted Oct 12 2012 10:36AM
Well my Gamecocks are hanging in there with a 6-0 record and a 4-0 record in the SEC. The next 2 weeks are going to be the toughest 2 weeks of the season. This week The South Carolina Gamecocks take on the Tigers of LSU. LSU has always for years been a very tough team and the Gamecocks have always had a hard time with LSU, this year its a very different situation. The Gamecocks this year have a ton of momentum going for them in their quest for the SEC title and hopefully the National title and many believe that the Gamecocks will win however by only 3? Im predicting a 2 touchdown win in this one. However next week the Gamecocks will be taking on a team who just like them have alot of momentum, The Florida Gators. The Gators started out the season unranked and has quickly made it into the top 10. However if the Gamecocks play both teams like they did Georgia and like they want both championships then they will do it. Gamecocks go all the way this year baby.

Florida Fan
I'm not sure who is worse at talking trash, but no one likes going to any of the Georga games because they talk so much garbage. I have been here in the upstate for five years now and everyone I work with knows I'm a Gator Fan. One of my emplyees started (Bulldog Fan) before the season even started with me about his DAWGS and how they were going to whip everyone this year. It was so nice when SC whipped them. It caused the Georgia boy to be quite for two weeks, but first thing this a.m. he started in on how we (Florida) killed SC. You are correct about how Georgia Fans act. Being a Florida fan I'm alone where I work and am the target during all season's no matter what the sport. I do not go around bragging about my team. I let them do it for me. I've had an SC fan give me garbage for to years now. He calls me Tebow all the time. He made a bet with me for a soda that SC would win. The only thing I said to him was don't make me come look for you to collect if Florida wins. He has come to our complex where we work but hid in the garage instead of facing me. P1 Florida Fan - Not a trash talker.

Bus campaign to ease pressure on A&E department (From Droitwich Advertiser)

More than 20 per cent of hospital visits in Worcestershire could be avoided
10:30am Monday 16th December 2013 in Local By James Connell
A BUS advertising campaign aimed at stopping people going to A&E for non-essential care has been officially launched on routes across the county.
Single-decker buses at the Worcester and Redditch depots will feature the adverts on both the outside of the buses at eye level and on interior headliner panels as part of the ad campaign, which runs until Friday, December 20.
It is estimated that during the last year alone, more than 20 per cent of patients that attended A&E departments in Wor-cestershire could have been treated by another, more appropriate NHS service.
The 'Is A&E for Me?' campaign, which is being led by NHS Clinical Com-missioning Groups (CC-Gs) in Worcestershire in partnership with Worces-tershire Health and Care NHS Trust, Worcester-shire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust and Worcest-ershire County Council.
The campaign aims to reduce pressures on busy A&E emergency services and departments over the winter period by raising awareness about alternative health services in Worcestershire.
As part of the 'Is A&E for Me?' campaign, a mobile app is available, which provides instant information about the range of options that are available for anyone who is injured or unwell.
It also includes a GPS function which allows users to find their nearest NHS services wherever they are.
Ruth Davoll, CCG urg-ent care lead, said: "While the majority of patients that arrive at A&E are there for the right reasons, we would just like to remind people that there are a range other healthcare facilities av-ailable across the county that can deal with a wide range of minor injuries and illnesses.
"If you require advice and treatment when your GP surgery is closed, you can call NHS 111 or visit an alternative health service such as your local pharmacist, walk-in centre or minor injury unit."

Home Sweet Quezon City
Post classification:
By Train, Plane, and Camel
I finally moved into my apartment in Manila. It only took four weeks to find and fill with enough furniture to make it livable. It is such a relief to be able to unpack and organize all of my supplies and comic books. The apartment is in Quezon City, which is just north of Metro Manila. To give you some reference, I was staying with my friend and collaborator, Arvin Diesmos, at his house in Las Piñas (just south of Metro Manila). The distance from my apartment to his house without traffic should take about 15–20 minutes.

TELLURIDE – Paula Poundstone is no mystery to NPR listeners. She's made over 130 appearances on the wildly popular news quiz show Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me, which generates over five million listeners each week from its headquarters at the Chase Auditorium in Chicago. Poundstone often joins Wait Wait on its many tours across the nation; from the Merrill Auditorium in Portland, Maine, to the Hawaii Theatre in Honolulu, she is always the perfect complement to the show's irreverent humor.
Twenty-five years ago, Poundstone, a high school dropout, climbed on a Greyhound bus and began performing at open mics and comedy clubs across the country. She's become one of the most influential comediennes in the country, joining Whoopie Goldberg and Joan Rivers in the 2013 feature-length Showtime documentary, Why We Laugh Too: Women of Comedy. In 1990, she was the first woman to win the Award for Cable Excellence for Best Standup Comedy Special and the first woman to perform standup at the prestigious White House Correspondents dinner.
Poundstone brings her humor to Telluride in her debut performance at the Sheridan Opera House on Sunday, Aug. 4, at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $35 for general admission and $45 for balcony seating. She is publicizing her new CD, I Heart Jokes: Paula Tells Them in Boston, recorded on April 1, 2013, at the Wilbur Theatre in downtown Boston.
You were living in Boston at the start of your career in standup. Was it hard to get into it?
A: Well, I knew I wanted to be a comic of some sort. One night I happened to be in a bar where there was a flyer for an open mic night on the wall, so I checked it out. This was during the start of standup boom of the 70s and 80s, so guys that were doing this for two weeks were already esteemed professionals. I was terrified my first time up there!
But after your first show, you were hooked?
A: You could say that. I was getting ready for work one day, and I was thinking so much about what I was going to say, reviewing the materials and practicing my lines, that I put my underwear on the outside of my pants. I was like, 'Oh boy, am I occupied!' When I used to bus tables, customers could see my lips moving as I practiced my lines for the next show. The irony is that I would go onstage and immediately forget everything.
And they only gave me five minutes per set, so if I went over, the other comics would kill [me]. And legally. In fact, I'd look to my left and I'd see them wielding spears and daggers after my five minutes was up and I was still performing.
Where did you first develop your sense of improvisation? How do you keep coming up with fresh material?
A: I think I started developing my voice because I forgot everything onstage. When you forget everything, and you're up there alone, and this has happened to you enough, you eventually come up with some material on the spot. But I've been doing this for 35 years, so I have a lot of material. People asking me what I do for a living always gives me a good space to come up with fresh material.
What led to you becoming a regular on Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me?
A: They called me up. Simple as that. They also sent me a sample tape that I didn't listen to until my male nanny found it on my coffee-table. 'I love this show!' he said, and then proceeded to encourage me to join the show. Yes, I started doing Wait Wait on the direction of my old male nanny.
The show wasn't very popular at the time. For one thing, it wasn't recorded in front of a live audience, so we recorded the show from different stations. Peter, Carl, the panelists and I were located in radio studios around the country. I think Roy Blount Jr. joined us from a radio station setup in his barn. But in the years after, Wait Wait has been blessed with a little engine that could. Now the show has got such a huge audience, so I'm really happy I've been involved with it as long as I have.
Wait Wait tours the nation many times a year. Any favorite locations?
A: We've been to a lot of cool places. I remember the Hawaii show we did. They asked if I could arrive on Monday for a taping later in the week. 'Monday?', I asked. I think they just wanted to hang out in Hawaii for a couple days, which is understandable, but I have kids and 12 cats and two dogs [The number is 16 at last check]. I did what I always do when I'm on Wait Wait: I arrived a few hours before taping, and left right after. The best I could do in the days leading up to that taping was put a plastic palm tree over by the cat boxes to simulate a Hawaiian vacation. It was a nice time, though. I joined everyone for a refreshing soda after the taping.
Looking forward to touring in Colorado?
A: Yes, absolutely. I've actually never been to Telluride, so I'm really looking forward to that. I get to Colorado a lot; I've got a friend who lives in the town of Hygiene. I don't even want to know what their high school mascot is.
Years ago, Barbra Streisand was protesting the fight against gay marriage; she wouldn't play in Colorado out of protest. I thought I'd help out, so I bought a bundle of billboard space all around Colorado Springs. I guess I didn't know how small Colorado Springs was, because everywhere you turned, there was a Paula Poundstone billboard. I think everyone in Colorado Springs was saying, 'Hey, if Barbara Streisand AND Paula Poundstone refuse to play in Colorado, good! I guess we'll just have to go see Barbara perform somewhere else.'

At Albany Med, we have the resources available to help children affected by neurological disorders and provide critical support to the families.
A variety of nervous system disorders can occur in children. Some of these are unique to children, such as muscular dystrophy, while some also occur in adults, such as seizures and stroke. Because the symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment for these conditions are different in children, the special skills and expertise of pediatric neurologists and neurosurgeons are needed.
The Neurosciences Institute at Albany Med is the only hospital in the region that provides pediatric neurology services. A full spectrum of pediatric neurosurgical and neurological disorders are managed at the Children's Hospital at Albany Med. Specially trained neurologists and neurosurgeons have expertise in diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system in children, which comprise their sole area of concentration. Many of our specialists also have subspecialty expertise in a specific area such as epilepsy, muscle disease, headache and movement disorders.
|Dr. Charles Nichter, associate professor of neurology and pediatrics at Albany Medical Center discusses the benefits Albany Med's pediatric neurology program provides to patients.

Hey Dude! How's it going man?
Haven't been very active the last few months in CA and seriously, you got much better since I've been here the last time!
Your figures and values are on their best way to kick-ass now!
What are you doing now? Anyway keep it up my friend!!
Love your recent sketches, hope to see more soon!
The Apache turned out really awesome, big fan of that one.

I really dig that first environment on this page and also the Elvgren. Nice work
Thanks for dropping by in my sketchbook!
Unfortunately, all the ateliers around here are really expensive. So its not much of an option for me right now.
Anyway, the improvement from the first page to now is amazing.
Also everything here looks phenomenal and your studies are really strong. Keep it up, I'll definitely be watching!
SophieW Thanks, it's very kind of you
Lightship69 Hey there lad, well it is an Elvgren study I even wrote "after Elvgren" on it :]
Glad to see you here.
Charmer Hey Flo, well CA was down for quite some time anyway, you did not miss that much.
As for what i'm doing well i will explain few lines lower.
BlackDelphin Wow Cristina you are the new Houdini of our age hehe, you dissapear like a pro
Thanks and remmember to come more often! You're always welcome here.
FUSHANDCHUPS Sometimes less is more, and even tho this is far from great i'm kinda fond of how it turned out.
KONM Pity, but you're talented and will manage
So i've been absent for quite some time, i had alot of stuff on my mind. The most important thing which was occupying my head was that Watts atelier flight to USA
unfortunately i did not get the Visa, so i won't be able to go there anymtyime soon :/ I was extremely pissed out as i was planning this for a long time, saving money, working hard to earn enough cash to get there. And they main reason why i did not recieve it was the american embassy worker's doubt that i will be able to pay for a 6 month trip..... I won't even comment as he was clearly a douche which wouldnt even wnat to see my bank account status, but whatever. I'll either try again in few months or go somewhere else, London or Stockholm, or Toronto, we'll see.
I kinda felt that i've burned out too, the will to draw or paint just you know vanished. even tho i did some stuff from time to time. I'm slowly recovering from that awful state, hope it will be better and better from now on.
First batch is done from life, like the guerilla sketch of that couple at a local restaurant. The vintage charcoal portrait's from an old photo refference as is the magic dude. ( pictures were taken in weak light scenario hence the poor quality )
Sorry to hear IceCold, everything will work out sooner or later, Wish you the best. Awesome updates, I really love the female portrait.
If you have a moment, Help me improve with critiques. thank you Sketchbook
Awesome Sketchbooks

Great sketches man!!!!Clean and solid. Keep up the great work
Kingkostas Hey there man! Glad to see you still posting here, i'm kind of less present on line these days, but i'm still practicing
another arm, only this time it's in photoshop.
Love that last arm study, now can we get some abs? :p
I'm trying not to disappear to soon again, I promise I'm trying
So far, I just ended a draw every day week in my sketchbook, and now
I'll try and draw every weekend. Lots of tests coming towards my way,
so I'm trying to keep it real here.
Nice studies in your sketchbook, would love to see some more more more!
Hope you're in the art mood again, well and happy, and ready to kick ass.

"Good artists are the crappy artists who never gave up!!"
Cristina So glad to see you here Cris! Well i guess it must be tough to study medicine and trying to evolve as an artist, those are really 2 things that occupy alot of time, and I worry that you'll have to drop one eventually. Sure you can still manage i do not neglect that, but it will be super hard, good luck and best wishes to you!
A warcraft-ish speed, I'll try to push it even further sometime soon, need to bring in some refference for that as i pulled this out of my head basicly, which was not a really huge problem as i have to admit, that i've wasted like 3 years of my life playing WoW...
I've been enjoying all your post i love your colors man. i can't wait for future works
Hi! Just wanted to pop by and give you a giant thumbs up. All your stuff is very clean and obviously very thoughtful in its execution. Good stuff! I'd love to see more concept stuff from you. I'm excited to see what you'd do.
Yemi775 Hey there man! How you doing?
Thanks for the vist and comment.
Vylla Glad you like it
About that concept stuff, well i wanted to be a concept artist when i was starting out, but now i know it's not for me.
I'd stick to illustration and some fine art in the future. But i guess you will see some concepts every now and then, so stay tuned! :]
I've sold my still very capable Desktop rig and got myself a macbook pro instead, that allows me to work in many more places, as my room is lighted very poorly for almost entire year, i had to rely on artificial lights almost all the time.
Hell to be honest the sunlight comes in only iduring summer in the late afternoon. Sooo having that portable bad boy means more still lifes and possible some field work, who knows!? :>
Here's a little update.
Some digital sketches from photo, more of a lay-in of my buddy Wojtek, my feet from the mirror, poorly rendered i was sitting quite far away from the mirror and it was hard to see the details.
The desert picture is awesome, particularly the colors and the linework on everything else is, per usual, pristine. Love it. It's good know you know what you're aiming for, as well, and I look forward to whatever you're going to be putting. Looking forward to it!
Nice lines man! also like the warm color environment! keep them coming!

Hariyama is a tough threat to deal with, as its combination of base 120 Attack, Guts, and good coverage make it very difficult to switch into. Hariyama excels at wearing down foes, and it is one of the only Fighting-types in RU that can consistently wear down Psychic-types such as Slowking and Uxie. This is especially useful for aiding teammates on an offensive team as Hariyama will enable them to clean up the opposing team with ease. Hariyama will usually be unable to sweep on its own as it has a pitiful base 50 Speed and will be worn down easily from its status Orb, but its ability to break walls makes up for it. Often overlooked is its base 144 HP and Thick Fat ability, which allow Hariyama to successfully run a defensive set to wall and phaze common threats such as Typhlosion, Magmortar, and even Kabutops. Overall, Hariyama can be used as a powerful attacker or defensive phazer, but play carefully around the offensive set, since even though it can be worn down easily, it will leave a dent.
Hariyama's Attack goes through the roof with a Guts boost. It should usually be sent in after a teammate faints or on a predicted Toxic, as this set doesn't have the longevity of a bulkier set. Fake Out should usually be used right off the bat if Hariyama is not inflicted with a status condition, as this will allow Toxic Orb to activate safely. There are certain cases in which Fake Out should not be used, such as when the opponent has a solid switch-in like Sigilyph. Using Fake Out will give them a free switch in, so it would be better to use something like Close Combat or Stone Edge if you are predicting a switch. Being reckless with Fake Out will result in a weakened Hariyama. After Toxic Orb is activated, Hariyama will be used to wear down opposing Psychic-types and other walls for a teammate, usually another Fighting-type, as it can put them in KO range. This set should be used as a wallbreaker rather than a sweeper, as it doesn't have enough Speed to sweep through a team. Close Combat is the most powerful move on this set, even 2HKOing defensive Tangrowth after Stealth Rock with the Guts boost. Facade is very useful for Pokemon that resist Fighting, mainly Amoonguss, Slowking, and Uxie, who all get 2HKOed after Stealth Rock. Stone Edge is used for Ghost-types, such as Rotom, and Flying-type switch-ins like Sigilyph and Moltres. However, Bullet Punch is useful for revenge killing foes such as Cinccino, Sceptile, and Lilligant, and it forms a good double priority strategy with Fake Out.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set focuses more on team support and prolonging Hariyama's longevity. Whirlwind allows Hariyama to function as a reliable phazer, racking up hazard damage on the opponent. Force Palm is a STAB move that also has a high chance of paralysis. This deters Pokemon like Sigilyph and Moltres from switching in directly because they do not want to risk getting paralyzed and losing a good deal of effectiveness. Rest keeps Hariyama healthy, allowing it to tank multiple hits from moderately powerful attackers such as Manectric. Sleep Talk prevents Hariyama from being dead weight while asleep and can bypass Whirlwind's negative priority, but does have a risk factor to it. In addition to team support and prolonging longevity, this set also takes advantage of Hariyama's good bulk. This set helps Hariyama check threats such as Typhlosion, Magmortar, and Cryogonal.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
A SubPunch set is possible for Hariyama to use, but Hariyama has difficulties maintaining a Substitute because of the powerful special attackers, such as Moltres and Sigilyph, found in RU. Hariyama has access to Bulk Up, but is not recommended, as Hariyama is too slow and has trouble finding time to pull it off. A set based around Hariyama's Dream World ability, Sheer Force, using Rock Slide, the elemental punches, or Iron Head has merit, but is outclassed by the status Orb set. A Choice Band set is always plausible, but only hits as hard as the status Orb set without giving Hariyama the freedom to switch moves. Life Orb is a viable alternative to Toxic Orb, as it prevents Protect users such as Alomomola from letting Hariyama die from residual damage.
Checks and Counters
The offensive set will be worn down easily by Toxic damage and common attacks. The best thing to do if you're facing it and dealing with other strong physical attackers is to try to keep a Psychic-type such as Slowking healthy, and wear Hariyama down by picking switch-ins that resist its moves instead. Rotom is immune to 3/4 of the offensive set's moves, and can stall it out with Substitute or finish it off with Thunderbolt. Alomomola can also let Hariyama kill itself off by using a combination of Wish + Protect. This may not work for offensive teams, however, so sacrificing something that you don't really need, such as a weakened lead Smeargle, then sending in an appropriate revenge killer will work. Moltres, Sigilyph, Braviary, and Mesprit can all work, as they can hit Hariyama super effectively or force a switch. Bulkier Pokemon such as Slowking, Uxie, and Misdreavus can also work, but they will lose quite a bit of HP in the process of checking Hariyama. Bulky Psychic- and Ghost-types work better when dealing with the RestTalk set.

exactly...Kerry could just as easily said "Patricia, you didn't check with me before you fired your duck..." why did she think she should fault Kerry?? She's pathetic...would never eat at one of her restaurants!
Thank you to Francis Lam for providing me with the perfect title for this week's recap.
Welcome back my little Pad See Ew. In case you were wondering, that's my go-to Thai food order. But before we get to the spicy (in more ways than one) Elmination Challenge, let's start with the Quickfire Challenge with guest judge Dita Von Teese. How appropriate for Dita to judge a challenge all about aphrodisiacs. While there isn't a whole lot of proof that aphrodisiacs do what we think they do -- besides, you know, Love Potion No. 9 -- it's inevitable that if you're eating an oyster, you're wondering what it might, um, help with. While doing some research for this week's interactive episode (hope you guys are watching those!) i discovered that oysters are a good source of zinc, which apparently does help control progesterone levels, so there's that. This may be blasphemous to say but I only starting enjoying oysters recently, and I would have been all over Takashi's winning Quickfire dish. Truffle and yuzu? I'm there. For the challenge, the chefs were provided with the "aphrodisiac" ingredients, but that doesn't mean their dishes stiil didn't have to bring the sexy. I really can't think of a "sexy" dish off the top of my head, but I would say there's something sexy about a dish with a lot of technique in it. Y'know, something that requires micro this or that to be placed gently on top of it with tweezers. Just knowing that a lot of thought went into a dish is sexy to me. But, y'know, I'm a dork. This same theory applies to cocktails for me, by the way. And without my odd predilections for over-thought food in their minds, the chefs put their best erotic feet forward, but Takashi came out victorious with his oysters and uni. Uni is probably one of the most luscious and luxurious ingredients out there, so it all makes sense. Meanwhile, just tried the spaghetti at Marea with uni -- wow. Before I wrap up this TMI recap of the Quickfire Challenge, can we just talk a moment about Curtis' fumbling around Dita? He got so flustered! I mean, he gets like that around me too, but I'm me! Hope Lindsay wasn't watching!
exactly...Kerry could just as easily said "Patricia, you didn't check with me before you fired your duck..." why did she think she should fault Kerry?? She's pathetic...would never eat at one of her restaurants!
I was taken to Lotus of Siam many years ago and my recollection is it was a terrific restaurant in a very old, rundown shopping center. I've heard that's changed.
Also dined at Marea and had the single finest dish of my life (Wine braised octopus with a bone marrow red sauce over fusilli).
My wife commented that it's tough to make a sexy dish that includes onions.
As much as I like Patricia, you are absoultely correct that communication goes two ways. The fact of the matter is she fired her duck too early without finding out from Kerry when he would be ready. This is not an uncommon problem when you have two executive chefs who are used to everyone being on their schedule.
In the whole scenario of quick fire round Monica is the most active and enthusiastic.
