Hey thanks for dropping in. For me, Landscapes are a much more abstract approach. I tend to just start with chaotic shapes and carve something out of it. Refine, flip, distort, bend, etc. Until I see something that sparks my imagination. As for the robots and more technical things: its more of a planned approach. Usually ill have an idea of a camera angle in my head, then lay down some guidelines, draw some bounding-box type shapes. Then I'll refine from a shape that looks appealing. Usually Ill have 4-5 guidelines and bounding box drawings before I come up with one that looks appealing to me and warrants more refinement.
here's something I drew last night, scanned in, and then painted on my new samsung slate.
This tablet is boss.
heres something i did for my fb cover photo.

On the heels of President Obama's remarks about immigration reform, two Texas Democrat lawmakers are urging the U.S. Congress to pass legislation.
In hope for bipartisan support, the Democrats have included several Republican proposals in their plan.
As someone born in Mexico and brought the United States as a baby, Democratic Rep. Ana Hernandez Luna said this is a personal issue.
"We were undocumented for about seven, eight years until the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 passed under Republican Administration," she said. "That was the way we were able to become permanent residents and, at age 18, I became a naturalized citizen."
Rep. Hernandez Luna hopes her story can be echoed for those 11,000,000 undocumented immigrants trying to legally stay in the country and eventually become citizens.
"That immigration reform of 1986 changed the path of my life and I wouldn't be here without that," she said. "I know there are millions of families out there in similar situations as my family once was."
Hernandez Luna and Democratic Rep. Rafael Anchia filed their resolution Wednesday. They say it takes language from such GOP groups as the Texas Federation of Republican Women among others—Republican proposals they hope are a selling point for their colleagues across the aisle.
[[sot--Hernandez Luna]]"It is not amnesty. They are not just being forgiven and given a permanent residency. They'll be paying fines and fees and be required to learn English, American civics, have a clean criminal history," Rep. Hernandez Luna said.
They're hoping a message with bipartisan support from a conservative state will urge Congress to act, but not all Republicans are on board—at least yet.
"I'm grateful they have a resolution and that the conversation is getting started, but we have a long way to go with this dialogue," Rep. Larry Gonzales said.
It's a dialogue Republican Rep. Larry Gonzales admits has come a long way since last session, but says it is too early to know if a solution can be reached in this one.

BreakPoint This Week
BreakPoint this Week: Jack Abramoff By: Shane Morris|Published: January 7, 2012 12:00 AM Topics: Ethics, Politics & Government Chuck Colson and John Stonestreet interview fallen lobbyist Jack Abramoff about political corruption. Listen Now | DownloadJack Abramoff seemed to have a great life, but it all came crashing down when he was convicted of fraud in 2006 and sent to prison. Like Mr. Abramoff, Chuck Colson knows what it's like to fall from grace and pay for it in prison, but he also knows about the forgiveness and redemptive power of Christ. During this half-hour interview, Mr. Abramoff describes how he rationalized the illegal lobbying practices in which he participated, because, as he says, "I was working for things I loved, advancing causes that I believed in." The ethics of the entire system, he argues, depend upon the moral restraint of those who run the show -- Congress and the special interests -- and that neither of these groups have shown a desire to curbing the "bribery" as he calls it, which takes place every day in the federal legislature. Mr. Abramoff also shares how he believes that his own imprisonment and the periodic "reforms" which comb the lobbying industry are token measures designed not by sincere reformers, but by those who have every interest in preserving the status quo. "The way they make rules to, quote, 'reform the system' is very disingenuous," he says. "The people who are in charge of changing the system don't want the system changed. They're living a very wonderful lifestyle, often they'll stay there for decades and decades, they have tremendous power... So what they'll do is they wait for a crisis or a scandal like mine, and after I'm safely tucked away in prison, they'll make a few little reforms that don't structurally change anything." "People don't reform themselves unless they're forced to," agrees Chuck. "Either their conscience strikes them, they're driven to repentance out of gratitude for what God has done in their lives and they start doing the right thing, or the law gets them. Free societies depend on that work of the conscience." "Who were the victims?" asks John Stonestreet, referring to Abramoff's crimes. All three find common ground in looking to God for forgiveness and a new start. "Do you feel at peace with God a this point in your life?" asks Stonestreet. "Yeah, I do." answers Abramoff, an Orthodox Jew. "My whole life, I have sinned... I'm a sinner, and I'm someone who is constantly falling. But the issue in my faith...is not 'where are you,' but 'where are you going?'. I just pray to God that I'm going in the right direction and that I keep going." For Chuck Colson, who has dedicated much of his life to advancing the gospel and the Christian worldview in prisons and in the culture, forgiveness for his wrongdoings comes not from his admirable work, but through the sacrifice made on his behalf. "I know in my own case," says Chuck, "that I am at peace with God because I think back to the Cross, and what Christ did for me on the Cross, and I know I'm set free. Now anything I do in the way of good works is in gratitude to Him, not because the good works are going to help me." While Christians understand that Christ alone offers lasting peace and absolution from sins, Abramoff, Colson and Stonestreet agree that cleaning up American politics will require a consensus among members of all faiths, and a renewed determination to do the right thing. They propose that this solution requires more than nominal 'reform,' pleading for a revolution in the mentality at the heart of our representative government, and a revival of ethics harkening back to the founding ideals of our country. This, they agree, is the only way to return integrity and sanity to Washington. Click here to get your copy of Abramoff's memoir, Capitol Punishment.

Best Uses
When the weather turns and the temps drop, this boot is at it's best. The well made leather exterior looks great, and the interior sheep skin feels like pillows for your feet. Can't beat the Vibram outsoles either. It's an all around great casual boot for cold weather.

Marilyn Manson says he needed 24 STITCHES to reattach his ear to his head ... after he was GASHED UP in a bloody brawl in Switzerland.
The details surrounding the incident are sketchy at best ... with Manson tweeting, "I was hit by a glass table in a dangerous fight."
He added, "I was however, the victor but had to have 24 stitches to keep my ear from becoming Van Goth."
Manson -- who performed at St. Jakob's Hall in Basel earlier this week -- also posted a photo of his messed up earlobe (see below).
We're workin' on the details. Stay tuned ...
Lost an ear but he won? Manson looks like he'd have trouble fighting out of a wet paper bag.
Yeah, I bet! It was probably more like someone punched this irrelevant idiot (Sorry Shia LaBeouf lol) in the face, or more likely yet he was picked up and slammed down onto the glass table. lol
That pic is not of a lobe!!!! Geez TMZ get your anotomy right if you're going to write about it.
lol he was joking, he din't actually get in a fight. He was drinking and fell through a table!!
Wuss. You call that an injury? I'm betting it was more like he really needed "2 OR 4 stitches" instead of "24".
Freak N Bum. If it was my son I'd kick his ass to the moon. Specially if it was back in the 40's where no one can tell you what to do with your kids!!

How is the forum over there? Never checked it out
Member here!
How is the forum over there? Never checked it out
It is not what you would expect. Let's just say there are a lot of people who will be afraid of a knock at the door in the next few weeks.
PM me
I'm a member, but what does "busted" have anything to do with anything? They are legit as far as I know.
I have no doubt that LEF as a company is legit, but the members on the forum lack judgement. They openly posted sources, ordered with their own credit cards, shipped to their own address without any real understanding of what they were really doing. They used to buy from some of the same dudes that were busted this week. All the posts are still there, but in order to post a moderator must check it for profanity, etc. No new posts have been approved since the 21st.
I'm a member but never even looked at their forums.
Been a member for 6 months...never once visited their forums. I purchase supps and blood tests from them.
OK, I just visited their forums. Those people are absolute idiots....and I predict that a lot of them are going to be in handcuffs soon if they aren't already. I'm really surprised that LEF allowed that.
I hope that helps people understand why AM doesn't allow such discussions here....ESPECIALLY in the male anti-aging forum where only legitimate legal hormone treatment can be discussed.
I actually wish I was not a member on the forum over there now. I used to reply to posts here and there about TRT because they were clueless, but I never requested a source and I have zero idea where to get steroids aside from my prescription so I never posted any sources.
A bunch of them got scammed about 6 weeks ago by a member. All of them in one weekend lost $600 each when one dude PMed a number of them who were open HGH users and said he was a source and needed to unload some fast.
One of the points I was trying to get across is that running an open source board (and I don't mean linux) is just inviting trouble. Did they really think they could order HGH using their own credit card shipped to their own house and get away with it?
I am a member over there and have been since 05.
I called in and ask what happened to their forum and was told they had computer problems. I told the girl that I figured they had been busted (I was jokeing) There were a few post yesterday, and I submitted 1 but it has not shown up yet.
LEF is 100% legit and legal with all their products, but this is an interesting concendence.
Very surprised they allowed source posting..I've only posted over there on the supplement sections and it was too slow to keep my interests going.
I don't even bother there any more Anabolic minds is my home
but occasional i sneak over to mesomorphosis which is slowly dying

User-centered design
Remembering Niels DiffrientNiels Diffrient loved many things, from airplanes to ice dancing. He loved his three children and his wife Helena Hernmarck, the internationally known tapestry artist. Encircling those close attachments was his abiding love for people. Human beings were the ultimate subject of Niels Diffrient's world-changing career. Calling himself an "ombudsman between the user and his circumstance," he believed that product design should start with human needs and human experience and end with aesthetic considerations.

lands to hunters
MONTPELIER The federal government shutdown means that federal lands in Vermont will be closed to hunters, anglers and other users during the foliage season.
In the Northeast Kingdom Nulhegan Basin Division and Putney Mountain Unit of the Silvio Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge have closed to public.

Ventra Deadline: It's Now A Lot Harder For CTA Riders To Avoid New Payment System
- Details
- Category: Chicago
- Published on Monday, 07 October 2013 13:10
- Written by The Chicago Defender
- Hits: 257
Updated story
Still holding out on signing up for Ventra, the CTA and Pace's new payment system, amid reports of its clunky rollout? Registered but still waiting for your card (perhaps because this guy has all of them)? Well, your commute is about to get more complicated.
Monday, Oct. 7 marks the day new magnetic strip cards will cease to be available at any CTA stations and Chicago Card users will no longer be able to add money to their cards. If you are a Chicago Card Plus user nothing changes and if you already have a magnetic strip card, you may still use it -- for now.
Monday also marks the next major deadline in the continued Ventra rollout, as the CTA has gradually pushed more of its riders toward using the new system by replacing the old magnetic strip card vending machines with Ventra machines, a process that will continue next week -- until all the old machines are gone by Nov. 15, which is also when Chicago Cards and Chicago Card Plus cards will no longer be accepted.

Macintosh at 25: Still the innovation leader
On January 24, 1984, the Macintosh came into the world, starting the second major revolution in the personal computer industry. Steve Jobs and team took some lessons from Xerox PARC and created the first user-friendly, mass market computer.
By today's standards, it wasn't that user-friendly (some will remember disk-swapping with the original Mac, which had 128KB of RAM and a 400KB 3.5-inch floppy disk drive), but compared with Microsoft's DOS operating system, it was a major technical innovation.
The 128K Mac version of the graphical user interface, with icons, fonts, folders, audio and a mouse, started … Read more

This campground was referred to us by a park in New Orleans. We were happy with this place, as all was clean, functional, and the people were quite pleasant. We'd stay again when passing through.

The road to this park made us wonder where we were going, but after reading other reviews we pressed on and boy are we glad we did. Very nice gated facility with their own bar onsite. We took the free shuttle to the French Quarter several times and loved the ease of it. Pool area was gorgeous and they have a dog run for the dogs to play which was important to us. We reserved for 2 days and stayed 10! What a great city and lovely park!!! We'll be back for sure!!!

Find fun things to doin the Austin, TX area
Posted: 9:35 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2009
By Jamie Dupree
As the Senate Finance Committee works on a health reform bill from Democrats, both parties are doing their best to cast themselves as defenders of seniors, while arguing the other wants to ruin their government safety net.
Speaking about one GOP amendment that would have done away with over $500 billion in Medicare savings, Sen. Max Baucus raised his voice for one of the few times in this health reform battle.
"The main point is, the effect of this amendment is to hurt seniors," Baucus said.
"We are not cutting Medicare services for seniors," protested Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI.)
In past years when Republicans have been running the show, it's been Democrats who used to go on the attack and force Republicans to make statements like that, characterizing any effort by the GOP to slow down increases in Medicare or Social Security spending as a "cut."
Now Democrats are the ones who have to defend $500 billion in "savings" as they try to convince seniors that it won't mean a cut in their benefits.
"This bill is paid for by cutting - I think the better word may be slashing - Medicare by nearly $500 billion," said Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS.)
This isn't a minor point, as the support or opposition of seniors to health care reform will be very important in the weeks ahead.
About 15 miles from the Capitol, in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., Vice President Biden tried to assuage seniors in an appearance on health reform.
"Nobody is going to mess with your benefits. Nobody. All we do is make it better for people on Medicare," Biden argued.
I can close my eyes and imagine President Bush saying the same thing when he started talking about reforming Social Security.
Democrats demagogued the heck out of that issue and forced Bush to give up on retirement reforms.
Whether Republicans can replicate that on health reform is unclear.

African history"This book celebrates the coming age of African history, representing a quarter of a century of research by scholars from Africa, Europe and America. Though designed as a textbook for courses in African history, it aims at a broader conception of the nature of history than is found in textbooks of the history of other continents. Less emphasis is given to political history and more to social, economic, and intellectual trends. The authors, while seeking to look at Africa from an African point of view, are attempting to answer the question: how did the African continent come to be as it is today? -- BACK COVER. |

Friday Group Ride #113
There are things I don't like about cycling. There, I said it. Not everything about our sport/hobby/obsession is my absolute favorite. I would expect that much of what I dislike, other people like intensely. Opinions are like dead-nun jokes, some of them are funny, but they're all basically wrong. I am willing to be wrong, especially if it's funny.
I don't like the testosterone-fueled banter in the parking lot before the group ride pulls out. I don't like to ride up on my bike and immediately have some crass joke aimed at me while I try to get my arm warmers straight and my sunglasses untangled from my helmet straps. I realize that some of my friends are so intensely starved for male-bonding that they feel compelled to engage in whatever this profanity-laced jack-assery does for them, but I don't care for it. It makes me tired.
I don't like chamois cream. Don't get me wrong. I need chamois cream, some times more than others. But I hate the feeling of cold squish against my man-zone and the subsequent period during which the cream redistributes itself according to the laws of physics and thermodynamics.
I hate inhaling synthetic food stuffs while trying to hold the wheel in front of me. And when I say "inhaling," I mean literally breathing in some glob of goo or half-chewed block. You go straight from gasping for carbohydrate-loaded air to asphyxiating in the time it takes to say 'bonk.' I also am not fond of the coating synthetic foods leave on your teeth, so that, by mile 50, I feel as though each of my teeth is wearing a hand-knit sweater.
If I never saw a Michelob Ultra commercial again, it would be too soon.
I also dislike the parochialism cycling descends into too often. Roadies disdain mountain bikers. No one likes fixed gear hipsters. Fixed gear hipsters swear they will only ever ride fixed and everyone else is a wus. BMX isn't cycling, except that it is, and god forbid you ride a hybrid, with your kids, down the bike path. The immasculation attendant to that act will get you excommunicated from the uber-exclusive man club, even if you didn't know you were a member.
To me, cycling is cycling. All cyclists are my friends. In fact, cycling itself can be too tribal. Let me try this one out on you: Motorists are my friends, too. No, not that guy who tried to run me off the road, but I wouldn't like him on a mountain bike either. What I mean is that cycling is not a facet of my identity I use to shunt people OUT of my life. It's a facet I use to draw people in. Fellow cyclists, in all their shapes and predilections, are my brothers and sisters, and anyone is eligible for membership, even if they think it's cool to imply they slept with my wife last week while I am busy creaming my chamois and loading my jersey pocket with citrus-flavored goos.
Yeah. You guessed it. This week's Group Ride is about the things we don't like about this thing that we love. Have at it. Vent your spleen.

hopefully I am posting in the right place...
I am a 24 year old female and I've suffered from eczema for over 10 years now. It is primarily on my hands. Using treatments including prescription medication (fluticasone propionate cream 0.05%), it is mostly controlled. However, recently I have gotten it on my middle finger tip. It has affected my cuticle. My cuticle is gone and the skin is swollen. There is a gap between the skin and top of nail. The new nail that is growing in has bumps and dents on it. I am scared of losing the nail eventually or getting an infection.
Is it possible to lose the nail? will it grow back? should I keep it dry? Should I apply the prescription cream? Are there any other treatments? When should this clear up?
I would go to my dermatologist but I don't have health insurance anymore. I don't want to lose my nail! help!
thank you
here are some resources for finding free/low-cost medical care --

-- check out these websites to determine your eligibility for various govt assistance programs -- https://www.benefitscheckup.org/index.cfm?partner_id=0 , http://www.govbenefits.gov/govbenefits_en.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=gbcc_page_home&_nfls=false , and http://www.eldercare.gov/Eldercare.NET/Public/Home.aspx ;
-- check out the NIH website for links to possible sources of financial assistance, http://www.genome.gov/11008842 ;
-- check out the website for the "live united" campaign of the united way -- http://www.liveunited.org -- and use the "search our site" box at the right in the second blue ribbon to do a "search" for your city or state to find medical care programs in your area;
-- call your city, county, or state dept of health and dept of family services (or something that sounds equivalent), and ask if there are free or low-cost clinics in your area;
-- go to the website for your state government, e.g., http:// www.your_state.gov , and click on every social services link you can find;
-- look for free or low-cost clinics at nearby medical schools or large hospitals; often students who are close to graduation provide health care under the close supervision of their instructors; and
-- see if any hospitals near you have a social worker; often they have very extensive knowledge of their own and other hospital and community resources.
i hope you can find some relief. please keep us posted on how you are doing.
-- susie margaret
I will try and find an preliminary answer to some of your concerns and will repost. Meanwhile, thank you to SusieMargaret's post with all the resources!
Usually eczema doesn't cause nail loss. You need to find a way to get the eczema under control. Hydration helps so maybe soak the hands for 15-20 minutes 2-3 times daily then apply the medicine. Hand eczema is difficult to treat--call the dermatologist and leave a message. He/She might have ideas on how you can get treated without insurance.
All the best!
Good Luck!
Thank so much for your post. There has been a flurry of research on Vitamin D in the last few years. What dosage was recommended for your husband? Was there a noticeable difference in his eczema too?
While we know food sources are usually an excellent way to obtain vitamins, choices are limited for vitamin D. Rich sources are fatty fish, fish-liver oils, liver and egg yolks. Milk fortified with vitamin D is another option.
The current daily recommended dose of vitamin D for adults 50 and older is 400 to 600 international units (IU). But many researchers believe that a higher amount is warranted because of the many health benefits. The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends a daily intake of 800 to 1,000 IU per day for adults over age 50. The upper daily limit considered safe for use is 2,000 IU per day, but there's debate about this level. Very large doses of vitamin D taken over time can cause ill effects, including nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, weakness and weight loss.
Had to sign up because I empathize.
I had excema on my hands from gradeschool until I had four children. I lost a fingernail at one point also; when I had twins in cloth diapers. Doctors gave me all kinds of creams, ointments and lotions. They helped but it kept coming back constantly.
Then I went to work as a bookeeper for someone who sold NeoLife products. When I started doing my dishes with one of their products called Green Personal Care Cleaner and kept away from any detergents (don't get laundry detergent and cleaners directly on your skin) my hands healed and I rarely even think about excema now. I still use "Green soap" for dishes and personal cleaning. It is well worth the extra cost. Best wishes to you.
Thank you for taking the time to sign up. It's wonderful that you shared your experience of something you found helpful. It's great to know after all those years of suffering with bad hands (and even losing a nail!), that your hands are in good shape now.
I hope if you find any other discussions of interest, you'll share your tips and support.
Yours in health,

I just came in from a hike up the mountain in back of my house in Hawaii. Funny thing about a mountain: It always looks easier to climb when you're at the foot of it. My goal was to reach the top of the tree line—about 3,000 feet up from my house—in less than an hour. I started out strong, with good intentions, two bottles of water, sunscreen, my hat, and my golden retrievers, Luke and Layla. A mountain, I realized more than ever today, is one of the great metaphors for life, reminding you that:
The result was that each step became its own accomplishment, and I took the time to look at the view from every level. Wow, I thought, I need to do this more often in the daily meshugas of my life. I've been so focused on getting to the next level, I haven't enjoyed enough of the view from where I am. Years are a blur to me, and that's not just because I'm starting my 22nd season of the show this September and have talked to thousands of guests along the way. It's because when you live life in the fast lane, as I have for most of my career, you end up speeding through, just moving to the next thing, doing more and more and filling your schedule until there's no time even to think about what you're doing. And as busy as I am, I often look in wonder at those of you who do all that you do and raise children and prepare meals every day and run a household. I bow to your endurance. As we're all blessed to witness another fall season here on planet Earth, I hope you're reading these words and thinking about your own life on adrenaline. And about how you, too, can manage with more attention to things that matter. Because with all that I know for sure, today I added this: It makes no difference how many peaks you reach if there was no pleasure in the climb. I'm going to spend more time enjoying the view from here. From the September 2007 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

Dr. Alex Shlanta Astronomical Observatory
Star Parties
Numerous "Star Parties" have been hosted by Dr. Alex Shlanta, former instructor, at the college observatory. Some of the groups for which Star Parties have been held include college faculty & staff, church youth groups, Boy and Girl Scout troupes, and Sierra Sands 3rd, 5th, and 6th graders. The 3rd grade class has an astronomy unit and the 5th grade class has a section on space science, with the 6th graders learning earth science. Each of these grades get to tour the astronomy facilities and learn more about space through hands on experience at the observatory.
During the Star Parties several members from the China Lake Astronomical Society have donated their time to assist Dr. Shlanta by manning telescope stations for viewing celestial objects. These astronomers also demonstrate telescope use and are on hand to answer questions from party goers. These telescopes have been aligned to astronomical bodies of high interest, such as the Andromeda and Whirlpool galaxies, Orion and Lagoon nebulas, and the planets Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Participants also learn some basics about the local night sky and how to identify several of the common constellations in the area.
We are hoping to continue this tradition and host additional star parties with some of our other science faculty and astronomy adjuncts.
