Hi, little wip up.
Great things going on here. It's really motivating, thx all you guyz for this.
The word anarchy comes from the ancient Greek αναρχία in which αν meant without and αρχία meant first a military leader and then ruler. Anarchist society is one without rulers: a classless, non-hierarchical society.
You need people like me.
You need people like me so you can point your grubby fingers and say, "That's the bad guy.""

@Tirwa@Daniel Hurd: Hey, thx, glad you like my stuff. As Alexa said don't try to get rid of that lines of yours. It's part of your style and it could be great with more volume information. And to my mind, you're not that far from de brief. I hardly imagine your creatures running like hell haha. And you still think they are too mobile, i'm sure you can't slighty modify them.
Well, back to the line thing. If you really wanna try to get a rendering without line, (and it's a good thing to explore other techniques sometimes) I think you should go into it as soon as you can during your workflow. Cause when you have a tight line art, it's sometime hard to destroy it. So keeping the line work quite rough may be easier, in my opinion. Futhermore, mass painting, makes the concept part easier, as you can easily make modification on it, as your ideas may also evolved while painting.
Well that's just my opinions by the way. :p
Your creatures are awesome! Loving the colors too. Thank you for the c&c, I really appreciate it. I am glad so many people enjoy my line art, it's really what I do best artistically. You are right about how difficult it is to get rid of the line art when it's really tight, However to grow and learn I definitely want to experiment like you said. Next COW I will probably try to paint the rough sketch and see how it turns out.
Thanks again Tirwa!!
Daniel Hurd - Wonderful linework and designs. They have a strong feeling of 'you'. I like that. As for you wanting to get rid of your linework.. I don't think you should. It works well together with what you have.
When I sketch I usualy take two directions. I either go into line, and build a painting as I did in the tutorial, or a similar process. Or I paint with planes. It's kinda an abstract 3-dimensional way of treating what you paint. I treat my brushstrokes like lumps of clay almost, either adding or subtracting from the form. It's really hard to explain in words, and I'm too tired to do a visual example right now. But I'll see what I can do tomorrow. Anyhow, if you want to start painting and rendering without lines you need to shift your thinking into 3 dimensions as if you were sculpting with paint.
Something that helped me develop this way of thinking was learning how to render in pencil. There's a saying that if you can't render values in pencil you won't be able to paint with them either. I'm not sure how much there is to it though. One thing's for sure, drawing really helped me develope my ability to paint.
As for painting over a tight line-sketch.. just do it
Giby - Interesting designs. They make me think of huge mechanical creatures though. As for the actual design, by just looking at them I don't really feal any of them being shooters. Only one that makes me feel that way would be bottom right with the tentacle cannons.
The two at the top don't have the shooting feeling at all, and I can get that bottom-right shoots from the serpent on its back. But at the same time it doesn't feel like part of its anatomy. It feels like a seperate creature on another creature, and not one single creature. There's still time to go over your designs so keep at it!
Scorge - you crazy son of a.. wonderful designs! I love each one of them! if I'd have to pick one though I'd go for the pink snail. It's so awesomely cute, both the body as well as the shell. Very nice design.
Tirwa - Lovely bugs! really liking the designs. I don't have much to add. You could keep rendering them, but I think they're great as they are now. Something to consider would be markings or patterns to distinguish them even more from each other and also break up the color symmetry a bit (Some purple/violet lines or spots would look great in the blue bug for instance, kinda what you've got going on in its forelimbs). The two top one's are still my favourites!
lkjhgfdsa - I remember thinking I'd never be able to spell your name, until I found out about the trick ... *cough* Really awesome designs! Just pure win. I'd love to see these in a game.
Been working on my concepts most of the evening. Things are turning out the way I want them to and it feels great. Here's a sneak-peak of one of my creatures!

wow, the wip's just keep comin', looking really cool guys.
first colour pass tonight, probably change a lot by the time the deadline rolls around, especially the ceiling critter...
DefiledVisions - I can't thank you enough for the advice! I love the 'clay' analogy, it really helps me visualize how to do it. I will have to spend some time experimenting. I think next week's COW I will try doing a really rough sketch with some values- then like you said paint right over it and imagine it more 3D and use the paint like clay to mold it.
BTW, great work so far this week, can't wait to see your finished designs!
Not able to enter this event this time but thought I'd share with everyone something that I had tossed together on my take. Please any and all feedback is much appreciated.
Tirwa: Awesome concepts man thats a professional work, GJ.
trying out a new approach to creature design, starting off of a closely cropped extreme close up bug shot. i think this was once a mantas' head...

Didnt notice a creature design thread till just now! thought there was only CHOWS, damn gona jump i on this, done some quick lines, damn need to do some research... so basic >.<
Awesome entries so far gonna whip up a few more designs and then hopefully do the 4 variation of the chosen specimen.

MUHAHAHAHAHA photoshop trid to crash on me after i finsiehd the drawing.. my heart plummeted.. but jut about managed to Printscreen it before i lost it all.. hit adjustment levels and bamm got my work back! Naj 1, Photoshop NIL!
Ok so this is the third design, apologize for the loss of clarity spent a bit more time on this, better lineweight though the PS crash to prinstscreen kinda knocked down the quality. Quick sktch anyhow.
This is the Parasite mutant spitter, it ejaculates on its victim and then grows within it. Variations would depend on the size and type of the animal infected
Crits welcome and please let me know which one youd like to see taken to a final stage.. if i have time that is
just realised i was supposed to call them all COWS.. -____-

Man, NajMul, dunno wth you came from, but wow, great sketches there! I look forward to seeing your progress.
Okay, well... been busy with the holiday and work, and I'm finally getting around the last three spitters.
Here is the WIP for number two... it's a sorta inflated "balloon" creature that is anchored to the ground via hollow tube-like appendages. It siphons combustible gas from within and then uses it to launch a toxic chemical at the player. I envision that in order to kill the creature, you have to first take out all of its limbs, which would then cause it to float around out of control as it deflates, at which point the player can approach the body/head and finish it off.
More to come... luckily I've got tomorrow off so I can work on this and my other two creatures.
wow cool Prometheus, u know waht it reminds me of, the brinstar first area boss form Super metroid, always loved n got creepede out by that boss .. And thanks bro! Yh kinda new here

Hey folks... okay, here is my final WIP for the COW this week. I started losing steam and lost my pacing with my workflow on the floating green jelly spitter, and so now final submission for me. Anyhow, I'm happy to have produced *something*... my first COW entries were garbage compared to this, and yet, I know I've still got a long way to go. I try to think of these as learning experiences, even if it didn't "finish" the challenge... I finished something.
Good luck to everyone who got theirs done! I can't wait for voting and to see what everyone produces!
The new topic will be going up tomorrow morning. I apologize for the delay.

Flavius Josephus
February 19, 2009
Flavius Josephus was a famous Jewish historian of the first century, at the time of the destruction of the Second Temple. According to legend, during the Jewish-Roman war he was trapped in a cave with a group of forty soldiers surrounded by Romans. Preferring death to capture, the Jews decided to form a circle and, proceeding around it, to kill every third person remaining until no one was left. Josephus found the safe spot in the circle and thus stayed alive.
Write a function josephus(
that returns a list of n people, numbered from 0 to n-1, in the order in which they are executed, every mth person in turn, with the sole survivor as the last person in the list. What is the value of josephus(41,3)
? In what position did Josephus survive?

Depending on your interpretation of "every third person", this question could be done a few different ways.
def josephus(n, m): """Returns a list of n people, numbered from 0 to n - 1, in the order in which they are executed (every mth person in turn). The sole surviver is the last person in the list. >>> josephus(40, 3) # Kill every 3rd person """ people = range(n) current = m - 1 executions = [] while len(people) > 1: executions.append(people.pop(current)) current += m - 1 # Advance m people current = current % len(people) # In case we go past the first person return executions + [people[0]]

I've tried two clojure versions : one using modulus, filtering "alive" vector and an other using the trick of the front and back queue.
Both functions have the same size but the second one is clearly an order of magnitude faster.
Seems like modulus and filtering entire vector are expensive compared to only playing with head, tail and last element of front & back vectors :)(defn josephus [n m] (loop [idx m front (range n) back [] dead []] (cond (and (empty? front) (empty? back)) dead (empty? front) (recur idx back [] dead) (= idx 1) (recur m (next front) back (conj dead (first front))) :else (recur (dec idx) (next front) (conj back (first front)) dead)))) (josephus 41 3)
October 30, 2011 at 2:26 PM
My solution using C
void josephus ( int n, int m)
int i, j, kill = m – 1;
int reset = 0;
int circle[n], killOrder[n];for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
circle[i] = i;for ( i = 0; i < n; i++)
killOrder[i] = kill;
circle[kill] = -1;
for ( j = 0; j n – 1)
kill = 0;
while (circle[kill] == -1)
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
printf("%d\t%d \n", i, killOrder[i]);}

NydiaAlbuquerque, NMNot Bad...I live on a high desert but had lived the first 19 years of my life by the sea shore. I must say that the smell of the product is delicious. But as to make the soft curls, especially where I live, you must help the product a bit. The first time I used it, I let my hair air dry and it just looked like a dirty mop. The second time, I let it hair dry under the sun and slept overnight without doing anyting to my hair. To my surprise the soft curls had indeed arrived. The only problem was that they were very uneven. Next time I will use a diffuser. Again, not bad....posted Sep 24, 2007Link to this post
KathyColumbus, OhioI Love My Beach Hair!I never even knew such products existed until I googled "beach hair". This spray was one of the first ones to come up so I decided to give it a try. I just used it for the first time today and I love it. My hair is fine and thin and has some wave, but the ends will dry straight and my hair just ends up looking like a damaged mess. After using this spray, my hair smells fantastic, has a nice shine in addition to the consistent loose waves that appeared. I used a diffuser to dry the roots and it had given my fine, thin hair great volume. I swear, I would wear this spray as a perfume if I didnt put it on my hair. I highly recommend this product if you want nice, soft waves but dont have naturally wavy hair.posted Sep 21, 2007Link to this post

Pumpkin Bisque with Smoked Gouda Recipe
I love the smell of this rich, cheesy soup as it bubbles on the stove. The Gouda cheese adds a delightful smokiness that just says autumn to me.—Kerry Dingwall, Ponte Vedra, Florida
- 4 bacon strips, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (29 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin

- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup shredded Gouda cheese
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- Additional shredded Gouda cheese, optional
- In a Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. Saute onion in drippings until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
- Stir in the broth, pumpkin, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
- In a blender, process soup in batches until smooth. Return all to pan. Stir in cream; heat through. Add cheese; stir until melted. Sprinkle each serving with parsley, bacon and additional cheese if desired. Yield: 9 servings (2-1/4 quarts).

He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire. A Song of Ice and Fire is a bestselling Doorstopper epic fantasy series written by George R. R. Martin, considered to be his Magnum Opus. The first book out of seven was published in 1996, and the series reached its fifth book in mid 2011. It has also spawned four prequel short stories, with a fifth in the works, and graphic novelizations of the first two short stories.— Rhaegar Targaryen, A Clash of Kings
The first three books were released over the course of a decade, the second two over another. This caused some anxiety from fans, as A Storm of Swords had ended at a particularly precarious place; even worse, A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons ended up suffering major structural problems that led to a lot of Schedule Slip, exacerbated by Martin and/or over-eager vendors posting a publication date and then missing it with little-to-no explanation. Repeat this a few times, during which time fellow Fantasy Doorstopper writer Robert Jordan passes away, and the end result was a very worried fanbase. Confirmation of a release was finally made by George R.R. Martin himself, and A Dance With Dragons was released on July 12th, 2011. It has not left the NYT Best-Seller list since.The series has expanded into the "Dunk and Egg" series of prequel short stories.A TV adaptation is now airing on HBO. Scripted by Dan Weiss and David Benioff, the show plans to do eight seasons, with A Storm of Swords comprising two seasons, the fifth and sixth seasons being a combination of A Feast For Crows and A Dance with Dragons but told chronologically rather than by splitting locations and characters as in the books, and all other seasons roughly corresponding to a single novel. It has received a very positive response, being renewed for a second season days after the season 1 premiere and subsequently granted a third season after the season two premiere. Martin has been very supportive of the project, even writing some of the episodes (which are generally considered excellent; this is hardly surprising, given not only did he write the books but that he started off many years ago as a screenwriter) and has given Weiss and Benioff the outlines for The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring in case they outpace him for one reason or another.The series has spawned these licensed works:

Audio vs. computers, and the winner is?
I'm not knocking computers, I'm using one right now. It's just that they've got to be among the least reliable consumer products ever made. Glitches, stability issues, crashes, and balky software are all part of living with computers, but people put up with the hassles. You just have to accept that you can't always access certain programs or files on your system.
It's also clear that computers aren't built for the long haul. The best two-channel audio products--turntables, amplifiers, speakers--have useful working lives measured in decades. I've owned four computers in the past 13 years.
Audio, unless it's broken, works every time. Computers and software products can't make the same claim. Brand-new and functioning as intended by the manufacturer doesn't guarantee a usable, out-of-the-box experience. The owner might have to invest a few hours on the phone or Internet trying to get satisfaction from customer service. Your wasted time is never compensated for; you're just the sucker who bought a not-ready-for-prime-time product. … Read more

Love my choice in this dress!!! I am attaching a satin "headpiece" sold at David's Bridal to give me the bling around my waist. It is so hard not put put this dress on every day until august. However, it may be a tall girl dress now that I read reviews and know other people who bought it. Just a forewarning. If you are trying on one at the store, be careful it hasn't been stretched before they tell you to order that size. It happened to me and I thought I got fat. lol

This dress was one of my favorites before I went to the store. Once I had it on and came out of the dressing room, caught the way my two friends reacted to it and I caught my reflection in the mirror, I knew it was the one and I got very emotional upon seeing it. I knew it was THE ONE. It's so classy, sophisticated and elegant. I cannot wait to wear it. The jacket is to die for. The satin is so unbelievably gorgeous and it made me look very thin! Very flattering. Buttons all the way down the back to the floor. Incredible dress!

Such a Stunning Dress!
My wedding is in August, I didn't want a thick dress or anything too heavy. This dress is perfect, accentuating my curves in all the right places and being that I'm 5"10 and 140 pounds size 4 almost fits perfectly without any alterations! I bought this dress on sale, wish it could have been cheaper. The only part I don't like about this dress isn't truly apart of the dress at all: its the beaded jacket. Besides that, best buy ever!

Flattering, simple, elegant!
I fell in love with this dress! It is a slim fit and flare gown, with buttons going all the way down the back; I was hesitant because of the price tag, however I must say the fit is very flattering and the satin is so luxurious! I am 5'8" and 140lbs and the size 8 fit absolutely perfect, the only alteration I had done was have the platinum sash G21600 sewn in. The sash looked great with the jacket, but literally last second I decided to not wear the jacket. It gave the dress a totally different look and didn't fit with my simple outside ceremony. My husband was floored when he saw me in my dress and never took his eyes off of me through the entire ceremony. The compliments on my dress are still coming!

This is by far the best product ever to have the Leinenkugel name associated with it. Nice orange amber color, very piney aroma. Grapefruit flavor with a decent amount of carmel sweetness.
Medium mouthfeel, not as bitter of a finish as one might expect.

Leinenkugel's Big Eddy Imperial IPA 2013 has a very thick, yellowish-colored head, a semi-hazy, deep copper appearance, bubble streams, and some lacing left on the glass. Aroma is of rather intense and full barley malt and especially hop resins. Taste is of that, with caramel, sugar, hop resin, and some bitterness, but one would not guess at an 80 IBU. Mouthfeel is mostly heavy, and Leinenkugel's Big Eddy Imperial IPA 2013 finishes mostly dry, rich, and sip-able. Overall, this is delightful and so well made.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
This pours a deep cloudy amber color, almost brown, with a slight tan head that quickly resolves to a gentle cream colored film. Leaves nice lacing and a lot of alcoholy legs. The aroma is deep and malty. Nearly that of a porter. Lots of roasted notes including coffee and caramel. There is some hoppy citrus notes but not a lot considering this is an imperial. The flavor follows this profile with a lot of malt up front followed by a slight twinge of bitter. This is a smooth beer but truly I'd like more hoppy bitterness from this style. The end notes are deep with a slight chocolate and coffee flavor. If I closed my eyes I'd guess this was a light porter or a black ipa not an imperial. Solid beer but not what I'd expect from the label.

4.16/5 rDev +10.3%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Really attractive pour, consisting of a faded burnt orange beer sitting under a frothy offwhite head. The beer is just hazy enough that light barely shines through. The head is a couple fingers thick, foamy froth, that retains well. Each swirl or sip leaves faint lacing behind.
The smell is killer. There's lots of malt for the hops to hold onto. With five varieties of hops, plenty of citrus and other fruits fill the nose. Orange rind, pineapple, ripe apple, and earthy flowers are front and center.
Great taste, but a bit unusual. It's extremely fruity, like the nose. The malt backdrop is there, so it stays balanced, but the fruity flavors dominate.
For an Imperial IPA, it's the smoothest beer I can recall. However, there really should be more of a hoppy bite. It's very tangy and sweet, but not all that bitter. The finish is dry with only faint hits of hops, though it leaves your mouth watering. Unusual.
Overall it's terribly easy to drink. Other than the high ABV, it's hard to believe this is an IIPA. In smoothness, this rivals Pliny the Elder, though it's a bit lacking in the bite we all enjoy from an IIPA. I like this.

Pacific College – New York Campus Offers New Massage Program
Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, New York is pleased to announce the addition of two new degrees in massage therapy. Students will be able to enroll in the Associates of Occupational Studies (AOS) directly out of high school, or pursue a Bachelor of Professional Studies (BPS), available to those who have completed 60 units of undergraduate coursework. This new program will launch in spring 2006, and is expected to reach class capacity.
For over two decades the New York campus has graduated Oriental medicine students from its Master of Science in Oriental medicine and Master of Science in acupuncture degree programs. The massage program, already recognized in San Diego and now opening in New York, complements and expands on these tracks, integrating Asian and Western bodywork therapy. The massage program emphasizes Oriental medicine theory, addressing the body, mind, and spirit. The program allows students to sit for licensure exams to become a licensed massage therapist.
"Pacific College has a world-wide reputation for its acupuncture and Oriental medicine curriculum," said Gina Lepore, Chief Operating Officer of the New York campus.
"We're proud to add these degrees in massage therapy as an additional option for developing healers, using touch and a deeper understanding of Asian healing systems. With this new program, students choose the healing system best suited for their temperament."
The massage therapy program will include classes in anatomy and physiology, general pathology, myology/kinesiology, East/West massage, and clinic/practicum, as well as hygiene and safety. Students will gain an understanding of the Western and Eastern, the science and the technique. This continues Pacific College's tradition of training highly qualified practitioners, meeting and exceeding national standards.
Both the AOS and BPS in massage therapy can be taken as a stand-alone program, or can be combined with the Master's degree program in acupuncture and Oriental medicine. Undergraduate and graduate financial aid is available for combined massage and Oriental medicine programs. Alternative loans are available for those who are in the massage programs. Programs range from five to seven semesters (note that PCOM operates on three, four month semesters per year).
Please call us at 212.982.3456 and ask for an admissions counselor, or visit our website, www.PacificCollege.edu to learn how you can become a part of this new program.
Healthy Body, Healthy Sole – Foot Health and Chinese Medicine
Feet are an important and often ignored part of the body's health system. Three out of four Americans experience a serious foot problem in their lifetime, many of which are treatable and preventable. In Chinese medicine, the condition of the feet is crucial to overall health and is considered a separate body related to all body parts and organs.
The Podiatric Medical Association says that an average day of walking brings a force equal to several hundred tons down on the feet. This helps explain why the feet are more subject to injury than any other part of the body.
One-quarter of the body's bones are in the feet, and misalignment of these bones can cause trouble in the rest of the body. A foot problem can lead to hip, knee and low-back pain, which can move in to the shoulder and neck and even cause headache. Misalignments can also cause problems with the acupuncture meridians that travel through the foot. When a misaligned bone blocks acupuncture meridians, related organs or glands can experience problems.
The foot has many nerve receptors that send important information to the central nervous system. This communication is used to track where particular parts of the body are at every moment and to determine what direction they go, how fast they move and how much pressure they receive. As we walk, each joint of the foot sends information to the nervous system so that it can regulate the functions of our muscles. This allows us to walk -- if muscles didn't turn on and off we would not be able to move properly. If a muscle is not active when it is supposed to be, balance is upset and a muscle on the other side of the body will become too tight. When it becomes too tight, it pulls the bones out of alignment, causing problems.
The foot is divided into vital-energy sections so attention to one area of the foot will give therapeutic treatment to the corresponding body part. Zonal relationships exist between the body and the feet. Ten vertical zones of the body are connected with those in the feet. Sensory nerves of the internal organs that spread through the body are mostly gathered around the soles of the feet.
Reflexology, a specialized form of Chinese massage dating back to the fourth century B.C., focuses on these areas in order to stimulate body functions, eliminate toxins, improve circulation and soothe nerves. Reflexology can also be used to treat internal organ diseases, relieve internal discomfort and relax the body.
According to the Foot Health Network, there are over 25 foot conditions, including arthritis, bunions, athlete's foot, overlapping toes, corns, ingrown toenails and heel spurs. These symptoms, as well as sensitive areas and blockages are evidence of a disturbance in the body in corresponding areas. The removal of a blockage in the foot improves the blood and nerve supplies as well as the energy flow to the body. Reflexology tackles the foot problem, returning the body's function to its homeostasis.
Most reflexology foot massages begin with a footbath. The feet are dunked in a heated, medicinal bath, a blend of 28 kinds of Chinese herbs. After this cleanse, lotion is applied for a massage of deep pressure on the feet, ankles and calves. Following the laws of yin and yang, often, men's massages begin on the right foot, women's on the left. By other standards, all massages begin on the left foot because of its connection to the heart.
The principle of reflexology foot massage states that there are reflexes on the bottom of the foot that are directly related to organs, glands and other parts of the body. Practitioners will find the reflexes that are active and use acupressure-like stimulation on these points, which in turn helps these organs, glands and body parts to work better. The misalignment of the bones of the foot causes these reflexes to be present, leading to tender spots or trigger-points. When the bones are in proper alignment, the reflexes on the bottom of the foot will be stimulated as you walk, like an automatic reflexology foot massage.
When the feet and body are in alignment, walking is the best exercise to maintain healthy feet. It contributes to general health by improving circulation, contributing to weight control and promoting all-around wellbeing.
The foot contains meridians related to the Spleen, Liver, Stomach, Kidney, Bladder and Gallbladder. Because all of the acupuncture meridians of the body either begin or end on the feet or hands, foot health is crucially important for balance of the acupuncture energy system. Proper balance will support strong qi and vibrant health. In this way, foot health is the foundation upon which whole body wellness rests.
Pacific College offers a three-part series in foot reflexology as part of the extensive Department of Body Therapy. Students learn to understand the reflexology approach and develop assessment and treatment skills.
The first class in the series, Foot Reflexology 1, begins May 3. It is a three-unit course, after which students continue to Foot Reflexology 2 and 3. When students have completed 2 and 3, they can take part in the foot reflexology internship, a 1.5 units course in which students complete 12 full treatments. Upon completion of this cycle, students can sit for a National Certification Exam in this specialty.
Tea for Weight Loss
Many Americans are putting down the double-espresso mocha latte and exploring the extraordinary world of tea. Asian cultures realized its value centuries ago, and U.S. consumers are now finally catching on. Tea is being rediscovered as the miracle drink that others have revered for years.
As the healthiest beverage in the world after water, tea offers numerous benefits that can significantly contribute to a change in your lifestyle and consciousness, resulting in a healthier way of life. This affects the way you eat and the foods you consume. People who drink four to six cups of tea a day are unlikely to continue consuming foods high in fat and calories.
How does drinking tea, especially green tea, contribute to a change in lifestyle, awareness and diet? There is nothing you have to do or think about. Within 30 days or so of starting a green tea regimen of four to six cups a day, you'll start to experience a change in attitude and behavior, based on the empowering belief that you're the source of all your own answers.
At first, you'll notice a subtle change. Instead of reaching for that candy bar or dish of ice cream that you're accustomed to eating after dinner, you'll find that you're consciously taking a smaller portion or eliminating it altogether. You'll begin to notice when you go out to a restaurant that your choices will be more in alignment with foods that will optimize your health.
As for tea's healthful aspects, its powerful antioxidants have been shown in numerous studies to fight illness and disease, slow aging and beneficially affect health. Clinical tests have shown that they destroy free radicals and have far-reaching positive effects on the entire body. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules, or fragments of molecules, in our bloodstream that can damage the body at the cellular level, leaving it susceptible to cancer, heart disease and other degenerative diseases.
Recent studies have shown that epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), an antioxidant found in tea, is at least 100 more times more effective than vitamin C and 25 times more effective than vitamin E at protecting cells and DNA from damage believed to be linked to serious illnesses. It has twice the antioxidant benefit of resveratrol, found in red wine.
In addition, preparing tea is a ceremony that invites you to slow down and do things more deliberately. It is the opposite of wolfing down a quick burger at a drive-thru. It involves careful preparation and a slower pace. This in turn may cause you to slow down in life in general, be more conscious of what you do, how you spend your time and what you eat.

When it comes to building a successful business, many companies, digital and otherwise, look to Silicon Valley for cues. And why shouldn't they? The region has been a source of incredible innovation for decades and in the past has produced some of the most successful companies in the world in recent years.
But what has worked in Silicon Valley isn't guaranteed to work outside of Silicon Valley, and when it comes to employee benefits and perks, companies should think carefully about what Silicon Valley innovations they adopt.

There's little doubt that for many, if not most major brands, social media is a can't-ignore channel. But when it comes to branding, companies aren't the only ones using social media.
Thanks in part to the state of the global economy, the growth of social networks and the increasing importance of digital skill sets, individuals have embraced social media as a way to 'brand' themselves.
In some cases, that 'personal branding' can lead to greater job opportunities, and some even argue that individuals without a strong social media presence will increasingly find themselves at a disadvantage.

Recruiting is a difficult task for many companies today. Recruiting mistakes are easy to make, and thanks to the demand for workers with digital skill sets, competition for talent is fierce.
That competition isn't only making it harder for companies to find and recruit the employees they need to grow their businesses, it's also increasing one of the things that keeps many CEOs awake at night: employee poaching.

Thanks to the latest internet boom, companies are growing and there's incredible demand for individuals with digital skills sets.
That's good news for those looking for digital marketing jobs, but it is creating numerous recruiting challenges for companies.
Whether you're looking for a web developer, a social media marketer, or a salesperson, if you're in a digital industry in a major market, competition is fierce and chances are that finding the next great hire is a daunting task.

Motivating employees can be a touchy subject for many business owners and managers.

Econsultancy's latest Smart Pack: The Social Shift in Internal Communications is about the trends in internal communication that are not just affecting how your customers navigate their social relations and the marketplace, but will determine your working future as well.
The fact is that no one quite knows what revolution is going to happen next in the field of communications, which makes enterprise-level investments a significant risk.
Large corporations that build their own centralized internal social nets often find that obsolescence comes quickly.
Smaller teams who are encouraged to discover and implement their own ad hoc solutions using mass-market products like Yammer, Jive, Google Apps, or Facebook Groups may not routinely share best practices throughout a larger parent organization. In the words of Catherine Glover, Director of Social@Ogilvy, and a featured interview in the new report, "nothing seems to stick".

Changes aplenty
Armed with a new quarterback named Montana, Tulane begins its second spring practice under Curtis Johnson
NEW ORLEANS — Tulane needed a quarterback. Nick Montana wanted an opportunity to start.
The graduation of four-year starter Ryan Griffin and the return of just one scholarship quarterback created supply at Tulane for Montana's demand. As the 6-foot-3, 200-pound prospect shopped around the country after one season in junior college, the Green Wave emerged as his best match.
Montana said the pieces "just fit together," and the first look at the puzzle comes Wednesday, when the Green Wave opens spring practice with Montana under center.
"I felt like I took a more mature approach going back through the recruiting process for a second time, and I made a more educated decision," Montana said. "Out of high school, I was just looking at the size of the stadium and stuff like that, so I had a lot better perspective this time around. I feel like I just have a better grip on it and made the choice that worked best for me."
Montana, who transferred from Washington in 2011 and spent 2012 at junior college Mount San Antonio, is competing with redshirt freshman Devin Powell and walk-on Jordy Joseph to fill Tulane's vacant quarterback position. While Montana's credentials and pedigree (a four-star high school recruit, he is the son of Hall of Famer Joe Montana) lead to assumptions he'll start, there are no guarantees for the fourth-year junior, coach Curtis Johnson said.
"There's never been a promise of early playing time," Johnson said. "The only promise that I ever give is that if guys don't do the same things that they did on film, or that they should've done, I promise them that I'll sit them on the bench by me."
Even though Montana piled up 2,652 yards and 22 touchdowns with Mount San Antonio in Walnut, Calif., while Powell's only start resulted in Tulane's 39-0 loss to Ole Miss last season, Johnson insists the competition is going to happen on the practice field over the next three weeks as the Green Wave work to improve upon its 2-10 record in 2012.
It's a hard-line stance Montana said he was aware of when he chose to attend Tulane in December, and is happy to earn a spot through performance rather than previously attained accolades.
"He's been terrific as a team player and a character person in understanding his role and what we need from him," offensive coordinator Eric Price said. "When he came here, he never made any demands or asked for any kind of special treatment. All he said is he wanted a place that would give him a legitimate shot to win the job because he only has two years left, and he didn't come here to be a backup.
"I mean, he could have come in and said, 'My last name in Montana; am I going to be the starter here?' But he never did that. He has been very easy to deal with and has been fair to everyone."
Beyond his attitude, there's a reason Montana was sought after by Johnson and his staff. Although his two-year stint at Washington resulted in a redshirt year and a lost quarterback competition to current Huskies starter Keith Price, there was a bevy of positive results sandwiched around it.
As a high school player in Westlake Village, Calif., Montana compiled a 27-1 record as Oaks Christian's starting quarterback. He then went 11-1 in his lone junior college season.
"When Nick's name came up, the first thing we thought about was his winning record in high school and in junior college," Price said. "His numbers were amazing, and CJ always liked the fact that he's been in a lot of winning locker rooms and expects that to happen every week. At quarterback, you want a winner, and it was the biggest reason we pursued him so hard."
Tulane's offensive philosophy also meshed with Montana's strengths, which include quick defensive recognition, a strong arm, nimble feet and precision passing. Price said the Green Wave's pro-style offense helped it rise above 75 percent of Montana's other suitors, since so much of the college game has turned toward the spread in recent years.
Over the next 15 practices, Green Wave fans are anxious to hear about whether Montana can not only replicate Griffin but possibly surpass him in order to propel the program to its first winning season since 2002. It's a heavy task to be placed on the shoulders of someone who hasn't taken a snap with his current team, but Montana said he's anticipating the challenge, and that he came to Tulane with high expectations of his own.
For now, Tulane's staff just wants to see if he can earn the job.
"We don't need him to be the greatest quarterback of all time," Price said. "We just want him to be accurate, learn the playbook and develop into a leader (that) can communicate with his teammates. We brought him here for a reason, and he came here for a reason. And this is just the first step of a long road to winning games."

It's the perfect size for her (she's taller than your average 2 yr. old) and it is one of her favorite toys. When she wakes up from her nap she tells me that she "wants to cook in new kitchen". It's so adorable! Satisfied is an understatement! Definitely worth the money. The quality is fantastic! It takes a while to put together but the directions are easy to understand, there are just a lot of parts. We had fun putting it together! LOVE it!!

Was a little compllicated in assembling. Also, there were some screws missing and had to go to the hardware store to get them.
5.00 rating Wonderful Play Kitchen By Jennifer
April 14, 2009
This wood kitchen is wonderful. I purchased this kitchen for my 2 year old son after many hours of investigating many different kitchens out there. It is solidly made and the assembly instructions are very clear. It does not take up too much space but yet has all of the features you are looking for in a play kitchen with the added benefit of eye pleasing style (not to mention it is similar in style, without the jaw dropping price of the Pottery Barn Kids Red Retro Kitchen). I keep it in our kitchen and sometimes I think I like this kitchen better than my own. My son plays with it every day and will definitely get quite a few years of use out of it. I also recommend Baby Age. I had no issue with the order and it was delivered within the week. When you combine the shipping cost and kitchen price it was the cheapest site to buy it from as well..believe me I looked at a tonne of them.

Actually, it's an event called "Race to Little Italy" in celebration of the Grand Prix in Baltimore. The restaurants in Little Italy will be offering alfresco dining options along South High Street today and tomorrow.
The street between Eastern Avenue and Stiles Street will become festive with food, drink, and music from 4 p.m.-midnight today and from noon-midnight tomorrow. Souvenirs and gifts will also be available for purchase.
I'm going to stop by this afternoon on my way to the food truck Gathering in Fells Point. There's so much to do and eat this weekend.

I loaded several clips of M2TS video to Premiere Element 9 to edit. There is no video on the review area (display panel) but audio is playing. Let me know if any solution. Thanks.
What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what resolution is it?
When you set up your Premiere Elements project, which settings did you select? If you selected the correct settings, you will not see red lines above the clips on your timeline. Is this the case with your project?
Yes. But I'm not sure we can resolve them without knowing more about your video source.
Try opening one of the videos in G Spot or Media Info and post the specs (or a screen capture of the specs), particularly the resolution, frame rate and audio and video codecs.
Also make sure your computer has the latest version of Quicktime from Apple, per the program's requirements.
Yes, your project is wrong

You select the AVCHD project that completely matches your video... which would be the rest of the details that Mediainfo gave you... such as the pixel size (x times y) and frame rate
If your project is correct, you will not see a red line over the timeline when you import the video, and before you do any work

The BHP's dream is to offer fifty percent of students some kind of financial aid, but the reality is that we have a long way to go. The more scholarships we can offer to incoming students, the more likely we are to remain--and rise--in the rankings of the best undergraduate business experiences in the nation. The generosity of each senior class and matching alumni class allows the program to continue to improve, grow and attract the top talent. The BHP seniors who donate to Make-a-Mark have the opportunity to win valuable prizes, generously donated by our local and corporate sponsors.

- Aquatec Auto Flush Flow Restrictor
Just makes life a litle easier By Brian on 1/28/14
Brian would recommend this product to a friendNot much to say, it does what it's supposed to. It came with no instructions on how to install, and as of yet there is no video on how to hook it up (HINT, HINT). There's not much to installing it but I did make the mistake of thinking that it was to replace my manual back flush valve, not replace the whole back flush assembly entirely. Another words I missed the whole flow restrictor part of the title. After I figured that out I noticed the valve wasn't opening up for me. Then I realized that I plugged it in before the electronic pressure switch shut off. It needs to be spiced in between the Electronic pressure sensor switch and the booster pump (would have been nice to know). Other than that, it does make a loud hissing noise because of the pressure being squeezed through the restrictor, I welcome it myself so I know when the flusher and RO/DI unit are working and when their not. Just in case I can't hear the booster pump rattling the stud I have it mounted to through the walls of the house.
There are no videos related to this product.
Ask a Question About 'Aquatec Auto Flush Flow Restrictor'
Previously Asked Questions
by Josh on January 13, 2014, @2:57 PM
What is the proper way to use this auto flush restrictor with two 75 gpd membranes (the 150 gpd upgrade)?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Josh,
This would instal in place of your existing 75gpd flow restrictor on a setup like that. Use and setup would be no different then setting it up with any other RO/DI unit and booster pump combo. -
by Michael on December 10, 2013, @4:47 AM
Would you need to remove the entire membrane flush kit I have installed currently to install this auto flush or would I just leave it and replace the flow restrictor?
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Michael,
Most folks would remove it as its a bit redundant though it technically wouldn't hurt anything to leave it and just leave the valve closed. -
by Art on October 19, 2013, @2:37 PM
Which auto flush should I purchase for a RODI system using the 150 GPD membrane and an 8800 booster pump?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Art,
For a unit with a 150gpd membrane/flow restrictor you would want the 800mL auto flush.
An Auto-Flush Flow Restrictor will assist the RO membrane to perform with maximum efficiency for longer time periods. At BRS, we recommend that an RO system be flushed on a regular basis. The use of this auto-flush flow restrictor can reduce the "brine to product" ratio, especially in low "TDS" applications, while maintaining or improving system "TDS" rejection rate and extending membrane sediment and carbon filter life.
Upon system start-up and every hour thereafter, the 24VAC normally closed solenoid valve automatically "power flushes" the membrane at full pump flow, or full line pressure in unboosted systems, for 18 seconds every hour. Turbulent water action scrubs organic and inorganic contaminant's from the membrane surface, extending membrane life and efficiency.
The "power flush" system only occurs only while the system is in the water making mode. The flush cycle is reset automatically when the RO system repeats the "water making" mode after the "full tank shut-down" mode. Water which has been standing idle in the membrane module for extended period is purged to the drain.
The PFR requires its own transformer or can be powered by the pump transformer.The valve has a built in, self cleaning, flow restrictor which allows controlled flow to drain when the valve is in the de-activated (closed) state.

This portrait was taken about 1911 by C.W. Platt in Sandusky, Ohio. It was filed in a collection of unidentified photographs at the Archives Research Center of the Sandusky Library, but was recently identified as being a photo of Steen Leroy Parker, by a family member.
Steen Leroy Parker was born January 30, 1908 in Sandusky, Ohio, to Leroy and Ada (Steen) Parker. His first name was the family name of his mother's family of Irish heritage. Steen's siblings were Glenn, Janet, and Paul Parker. Steen Parker's family had a farm in Perkins Township, which had to be vacated when the U.S. Government built the Plum Brook Ordnance Works in Perkins Township in 1940. Besides working on the family farm, Leroy Parker was also a concessionaire at Cedar Point, fondly remembered for working many hours at Noah's Ark, one of the attractions operated by the Concourse Amusement Company.
In the 1920's Steen graduated from Sandusky High School. He served in the Seabees during World War Two. Steen Leroy Parker is pictured below with his first wife, Doris Wheeler Parker.
After the death of Doris, Steen married Ruth Renwand. He died in 1949, leaving his widow, five children, and two grandchildren.
If you have vintage photographs of your family members, consider donating them to the Archives Research Center of the Sandusky Library for future generations to enjoy.

I have this second picture of Steen Parker in my family's history. This was the Renwand family. We have several pictures of them that indicate they may have been a fairly wealthy family in Sandusky. Does anyone know their history?
- Friday, May 14, 2010 at 10:36:00 AM EDT
Steen Parker's father was Leroy Parker, an Erie County Commissioner. They were not wealthy, but lived comfortably. Steen's first wife died, and his second wife's maiden name was Renwand.
