This is a great cleanser, takes make up off and no dirt is left behind, just make sure you have separate eye make up remover because that is the only flaw of this, you will be left with raccoon eyes.
After getting a Birchbox sample of this cleanser and liking it, I got the full sized product and have been using it for a few weeks now. It cleans my skin thoroughly without leaving me with that tight uncomfortable feeling that some cleansers leave behind.
Not harsh like other cleansers. Highly recommend for sensitive skin. I've tried many cleansers, but this one stands out among the rest.
I have extremely sensitive skin. This product calmed down the rosiness if my fade after just one use. Thank you thank you thank you
Feels like it's more of a treatment than cleanser, doesn't lather but did gently and effectively clean my skin. I think it would be great on irritated skin too.
I enjoyed using this product. The scent was not overbearing and and my face felt so clean afterwards. The sample size with the moisturizer and toner was also nice to try out.
Love the fact that its good for my sensitive skin which
is prone to redness. Very gentle, but doesn't remove
all make-up. Have to use my marcelle make-up remover.
But thats par for the course with all other facial cleansers
I've purchased in the past.
Fail - broke my face out in a rash after just the first use of the sample. Does not remove makeup as it claims. If you read the reviews from the sample set, you'll notice I'm not the only one.
I've only used it a couple days but other than the fact that I have to use makeup remover before using it, I love this wash. I wear a lot of makeup so it's never been easy for any of my cleansers to get it all off. I still need something soothing for my sensitive skin for my 2nd cleanse. The price is awesome too!
I received this product as a sample with birchbox; all I can say is WOW! I usually stick to my normal skin cleansing routine and don't venture into the unknown. With winter coming I knew my face was going to need some TLC, so I decided to give the sample a try. First of all, it has a very clean citrus smell so it wakes you up in the morning. There aren't any waxy residues left and my skin wasn't all shiny and tight. It gave me just the right amount of moisture without leaving my face oily. I would definitely recommend this product for one reason...it's SIMPLE!

Snake: Anyone going with me? Metal Gear Solid is a stealth action game released by Konami for the PlayStation in 1998. With its cinematic style and fusion of gripping play mechanics with an equally gripping storyline, it shifted the acceptable degree of Story to Gameplay Ratio, perhaps irrevocably, while also single-handedly popularizing the Stealth-Based Game.To many players' surprise, it is not the first game in the Metal Gear series: The original two MSX2 games in the series (Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake) were never released in North America (aside from a drastically altered Nintendo Entertainment System version of the former and an unrelated sequel titled Snake's Revenge), so Metal Gear Solid was the first proper game in the series that most people played, and the Metal Gear Solid moniker carried on to the rest of the series, aside from a few spinoffs.Basic plot summary: six years have passed since the fall of Zanzibar Land and the death of Big Boss. Solid Snake, haunted by the death of both Big Boss — who claimed to be his father — and best friend Gray Fox at his own hands, has retired from his life as an agent for FOXHOUND, a special operations force for the United States military. His days of running dogs in Alaska are, however, brought to a close when he's kidnapped from his home and brought aboard a submarine beneath the Bering Sea. There, he's briefed by his former superior and only real "friend", Roy Campbell, and the enigmatic Dr. Naomi Hunter, who draft him into service once more.This time, the United States is being held hostage by FOXHOUND itself, which has gone rogue and is being led by a man who not only looks uncannily like Snake, but is himself called "Liquid Snake". Naturally, Snake's the only one who can stop his deranged doppelg�nger and the Five-Bad Band working for him. What follows is a game that loves to break the fourth wall while also telling a surprisingly compelling and serious story about war, morality, and nuclear proliferation.Upon the advent of the PlayStation, Metal Gear Solid became a huge hit for both its melodramatic and incredibly juicy plot, and its wonderfully satisfying gameplay, which despite being the first 3D game of the series (hence the "Solid" in the title) avoided hitting the polygon ceiling.The game later received a remake for the Nintendo GameCube in 2004 titled Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes.The game's story has also been adapted into a graphic novel written by Kris Oprisko, with stylized, sketchy artwork by Ashley Wood that deliberately imitates Yoji Shinkawa's promotional art, and the graphic novel itself has been released in a semi-interactive format as Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel on the PlayStation Portable. This same graphic novel, along with its sequel, was eventually released on DVD in Japan as Metal Gear Solid 2: Bande Dessinee, with full voiceovers from the Japanese cast. There's also a novelization by Raymond Benson.Note: this page is for the original PS1 game and its ports and remakes (including The Twin Snakes for the GameCube). For the Game Boy Color version (which is technically a separate game), see Metal Gear: Ghost Babel. For the rest of the series, see the main Metal Gear page.Campbell: As usual, this is a one-man infiltration mission. Snake: Weapons and equipment OSP? Campbell: Yes. This is a top-secret black op. Don't expect any official support. open/close all folders The original Metal Gear Solid provides the following tropes:
In 2004, the game was remade for the Nintendo GameCube as Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, co-developed by Canadian developer Silicon Knights, developer of the highly acclaimed GameCube title Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. For the most part, the game was identical, with virtually the same level design and plot, but with a signifigant visual overhaul to bring the game's visuals up to the same standard as Metal Gear Solid 2. However, the dialogue, while almost entirely the same, was completely re-voiced (all of the original voice actors appear to reprise their roles in The Twin Snakes, along with Rob Paulsen taking the mantle of the Cyborg Ninja instead of Greg Eagles, who voiced both the Ninja and Donald Anderson in the original), with the foreign accents of two characters (one of whom was American anyway and the other raised by an American) being lost (a trait that was carried on when both characters reappeared in Metal Gear Solid 4). Game mechanics from Metal Gear Solid 2 were added, such as tranquilizer guns, and all the references to Policenauts were changed to Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner.Somewhat conspicuously, both the cinematics and music were completely redone, with mixed results. While the new soundtrack is sometimes considered to be superior to the original, the new cinematics have often been derided for their over the top (even by Metal Gear standards) style and blatant use of Bullet Time in imitation of the then popular Matrix movies and Max Payne games. Ryuhei Kitamura, the director hired on for the cutscenes, claimed in an interview that they were initially to be redone to look exactly like their PS1 counterparts, but Kojima had asked for them to be done in the manner seen in the final version.Because of the aforementioned, The Twin Snakes continues to divide opinions to this day on whether it's a fantastic upgrade to an already-spectacular game, or a mockery of the original masterpiece. The Twin Snakes provides examples of:

Create unique sound effects using any audio file! WaveShaper for iPad is an audio synthesis app that lets you control a unique sound generating algorithm using a large XY controller. Use two fingers to control four parameters in real-time. This app is full of surprises and will create sounds unlike any you might create in a typical sound design plugin!
"Sound designers and electronic music producers are always on the look out for new noise makers to use for one-off special effects in our projects, but rarely do we come across something that feels like a one stop shop for all noise making needs. Well, when I need noise for a sound design project, now I grab my iPad and load up WaveShaper.
I've been using WaveShaper for a few months now and already used it to do around 80% of the source material in a sci-fi action video game. It really excels at futuristic sounds like energy fields, gravity manipulators, computer terminals, space helicopters, tears in the fabric of the space-time continuum… Oh, and run it through a reverb filter bank with the right source file, you can make some super creepy horror ambiences.
WaveShaper gives you a bunch of source files to play with, but it's super easy to add in your own or create new ones right from within the app. Being able to see the waveform of your source file and control exactly what sections of the file you're hearing allows for some real expressive live playability. I suggest using source files with a lot of dynamic and tonal variety for the most expressive live setup. Of course you can choose different source files without interrupting playback, so there are no limits.
If you're into turntablism record scratch style sounds, but want something a little more future sounding, try some source of people talking or singing and use the red noise mode. I've made source that sounds like the best scratch DJ ever going nuts on eight turntables at once.
Oh and if you have a good subwoofer, you can bring the house down around you with this app." – Bobby Arlauskas, Sound Designer, GL33k game audio

I'm Marc Spess, a stop motion and clay animation film maker. If you are wondering who I am - well really I'm just a huge fan of everything done in stop motion and clay animation. I started out just like most people, trying to animate simplistic clay puppets and the toys my parents gave me as a kid. The first stuff I sculpted was Play Doh and Silly Putty. Both are horrible products to use, and even worse to animate. Play Doh dries out and turns hard, while Silly Putty eventually turns into a flat puddle of goo after you sculpt it. The first real "Ah Ha!" moment came when I was in second grade and our art teacher gave us some clay. Her name was Mrs P. George - I still remember it. She took a piece of yellow clay in front of the class where I got a good look and told us that we can make anything out of it. I watched closely and she used her fingers to pinch this yellow ball of clay to make some legs, a head - and a tail. It took her 3 seconds to make, but it really was a turning point for me.
At the time I lived in Bayshore New York, and I was known as the creative movie maker on the block. All my neighborhood friends would come over to use my dad's extremely bulky JVC camcorder that weighed about 15 pounds, to make silly movies. Originally I used my new found skills to make very poorly designed zomby body parts and wounds for my friends who quickly learned how to act in our B-movies. |
When I turned about 14, our life took a turn. My dad would transfer to Saint Louis' Lambert Airport for his job in a year. TWA "Trans World Airlines" decided he would do best to transfer - and that's what we did. At 15 I found myself in a whole new world. Saint Peters was a lot different than Bayshore, but this move was fateful for me. We moved into a house where I had a large bedroom to set up my own little sculpting area.
At this time I wanted to join ILM "Industrial Light and Magic" and work with Lucas creating films like the latest Star Wars movies. I loved making model ships, planes and sci-fi kits. I also learned about the Games Workshop games and would go to a local shop in down town St. Charles to buy small pewter figures to paint. I could care less for the games, but the tiny sculptures were amazing to me. They had magazines that explained how to make tiny dioramas and how to paint the figures.
The big thing on TV were the California Raisins - and I quickly started to love how they made the Dominoes Noid and Kentucky Fried Chicken commercials. If you watched any show on television - they would have these commercials after each one. Claymation was HUGE, and all I knew was that I wanted to know how it was done.
After a year or two in Saint Peters Missouri, we got to know the area really well and had settled in. I was making sculptures based off of a VHS tape called Meet the Raisins by Will Vinton Productions. I would freeze the tape of the carrot named Cecil and tried to make an exact copy. The look of the clay puppets mesmerized me. They looked alive, which I later figured out was because of the translucent waxes in the clay. It's the same reason they use wax for the figures in wax museums, and translucent marble was used in Roman times to make portraits. Real skin has the same translucent look.
I was starting to get really good at sculpting by now and had a tiny portfolio of pictures I took of my characters. They all had one thing in common though - they all looked like they were about to fall over because I didn't know how to make proper armatures or any of the technical stuff. It was all hidden under clay in the TV special and commercials I had recorded on tape, so I couldn't reproduce them. I really needed someone to teach me these things, but who?
My Lucky Meeting: Here is where my life got interesting and very lucky. My parents, a counselor I knew "my parents were trying to mend their relationship" and my sister all told me about someone coming to town that I never knew about. They had read an article in a newspaper about a guy called Mike McKinney. Mike was visiting to have a small workshop for kids about the Claymation process. I didn't have a car to drive since I was too young, and so my sisters boyfriend at the time named Dave Spiller offered to drive me to the workshop.
The workshop was at a place called the Magic House. It had a lot of little attractions for kids, like a big glow-in-the-dark wall with a strobe light in front of it so you could freeze your pose. Plus large puzzles and things. I was a bit old for it all, but I went and sat at a table that was set up in a big room. There were lots of parents and kids all around, and Mike quickly showed some videos he bought from Will Vinton Studios to explain the very basics of Claymation.
Then he went around from table to table giving each kid pieces of clay to try and sculpt. I was pretty shy, but Dave told me to show Mike my pictures when he got to me. So I did, and Mike noticed that I was more then just a kid with a fleeting interest in Claymation. He pulled me and Dave aside to a side table where he kept all his props and bags full of puppets, videos and other interesting gadgets. I was ecstatic! Imagine wanting to learn about the California Raisins, and not only being able to hold a real Raisin puppet - but to meet someone who animated them!
So after sitting through a few workshops that Mike gave back-to-back, he finally had time to talk to me. He was extremely generous with his knowledge and taught me all he could in the short period of time that we spent together. He taught me the basics of how the armatures were constructed, how the eyes were made out of acrylic white balls - and how the puppets were animated one frame at a time. They were simple tricks, but at the time - since I didn't know anything at all, it was like opening a treasure chest full of $1000.00 bills. A real dream come true.
Mike then asked us to help him get his bags ready to leave as he departed to another destination on his US tour about Claymation. It turns out that Mike was trying to get by and support his family with these tours in-between jobs at the studio. I would later join him in Portland Oregon after he invited me there to put on a workshop with him as a helper. In this time period he taught me many more tricks, and he also invited me to visit Will Vinton Studios itself.
I told him I heard about a guy named John Ashlee from a magazine I had called World Magazine. The magazine had done a story about Claymation during their 1986 Christmas special and John was shown in a picture animating Santa's elves. It also showed Kyle Bell sculpting a small Christmas tree and another sculptor creating the bell characters for a segment in the film. Mike told me that yes he knew John personally, and asked me if I would like to meet him? I said - yes of course! And that's when he left me with John at the studio during Johns lunch break on a weekend. John was a real workaholic but this gave me the chance to really look at everything in detail without getting in the way of the employees.
John gave me a tour of each floor, allowing me to take as many pictures as I wanted of all the characters, armatures and tables where everyone worked. I was out of my mind, asking tons of questions that John patiently answered. How to mix clay colors, creating armatures and showing me his personal project he was working on. It was of an old wizard who lived in a sort of cathedral with stained glass windows and lit from the inside. He later took me to a studio apartment they had rented where other artists often rented to play music and animate films. This is where John sat me down to explain the intricacies of animating the faces of clay puppets. How to cut the faces with knives and how to re-shape them between frames. But that came later that week during my stay
Deciding my Fate: Before we left Will Vinton studios, John took me upstairs to a place where I wasn't allowed to take pictures. There was a top secret project going on that he promised was going to big! We walked to the end of the studio and walked up to the top floor on some rickety stairs. Once I made it to the top, the room was light. It was high up above the other near by buildings on the south side. There were rows of windows on the left, and tables next to them with various sculptures of some of the most amazing puppets. Then to my right there was what John called "the Amazing Wall of Puppets".
This Wall of Puppets is what inspired me more than anything I ever laid my eyes on. Each puppet was sculpted by a man named Gary "Gairy was his art name" Bialke. He was an illustrator of comical characters and one of the best sculptors in the studio. The film project was called the Frog Prince, based on the original story that you read as a kid. Unfortunately I could take no pictures, but when I saw these puppets I knew this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I held the pictures in my head from this experience, always trying to be as good as Gary, but I don't think that is really possible since he was in my mind one of the best for that style of sculpture.
By the time I went home from my trip, my mind was full of new information. I was extremely inspired to go out and get a job making commercials - or to work at a studio. Mike McKinney and I kept in touch and he told me about a place called John Lemmon Films in North Carolina where there was a job opening. I called John and scheduled to meet him. My parents were going to visit the same area, so I told John that maybe I could try out. Mike put in a good word about me to John, and they agreed to meet.
Before I went, I sculpted a puppet and mounted it on a piece of wood with a plastic top. It turned out great, and I knew that if I gave it to the studio they would have to see it every day. How could they forget me? So that's what the plan was. When my taxi arrived at the studio, John and Mike Rosinski greeted me and chatted with me for a bit. I then gave them my Mad Man character and told them it was for them. They insisted I take it back, but I refused.
Mike took me to their back shed area and gave me a 2-D clay on glass head that Joel Brinkerhoff sculpted and he asked me to try to sculpt it. It took me about 15 minutes to do. John and Mike both said it was good and decided to hire me. I ended up working with them for around 4 months or so making sets, doing simple animation and sculpting for the Henry Cycle project. Tom Smith did the main animation and lighting, but I had my foot in the door finally. They hired me a few times, even to work on some Cartoon Network "no brainer afternoon" commercials.
While at the studio I saw the demo reel of Webster Colcord and became friends with him over the phone - which lead me to work with him later back in Portland on some Warner Brothers Latin America commercials. Mark Kendrick and John Ashlee also worked with Webster, so I was able to learn almost everything about all the techniques over this period of time. I even met Chuck Duke briefly, another great artist at the studio. But it was only for a drive in his van with his hyper dog that ended up licking me on the mouth - yuck!...but that's another story. Outside of meeting my wife and getting married, these memories are some of the best I have in my life. But unfortunately Will Vinton Studios decided not to create Claymation films any more after the Frog Prices funding dried up. John Lemmon Films stopped getting work and I had to find local work where I lived to get by.
I worked for five years in the jewelry industry creating wax pendants, rings and nick-nacks that we cast in gold and silver for Paul Stuart Jewelry. I also worked for a company called Natoli Engineering in St. Charles Missouri, sculpting characters for the Disney Sweet Tart candy line, the WWF "wrestling", various Japanese candies and Mexican gum products. But my true love was stop motion and clay animation, and there was nowhere to go.
The Internet: A Place to Create: That's when the Internet was just taking off. YouTube and Google didn't exist, but AOL had free web sites you could build. I decided to create one, and it didn't even have a domain name. It was just like userpages/aol/clayanimation. It was a one page site with the very basics of creating clay puppets. The site was wildly popular and it was one of the first ones to be created. The Yahoo Claymation group was what stopmotionanimation.com is today, and I would regularly post each day with other animators.
That's when I decided to write my first book called Secrets of Clay Animation Revealed around the year 2000. It was self published through Minute Man Press in St. Peters. I provided lots of pictures that Will Vinton Studios gave me the rights to use, as well as Bruce Bickford and guys like Josh Jennings who went on to work in California on Robot Chicken. Unfortunately for me Minute Man Press went out of business before our deal of a lowered price on the 2nd batch of prints didn't work out and I lost a lot of money. The good news was every printed book sold out fast, and I knew that there was a chance to get some income through teaching others this amazing art.
Over the years since then I have introduced millions of people to clay animation and how they can make their own stop motion films. I also write news several times per month about exciting current events in this very lucrative industry.
I also have another website called Zombie Pirate Tales at http://zombiepiratetales.blogspot.com/. It is where I can express my own art and show others how I'm creating the production on my own. It's on hold for now since getting married and having a son, but will resume in the future.
One of my most crowning achievements was when the software we offer on our site called Anasazi "written by Penn Taylor" was featured on TechTV as a free animation capture software to anyone interested in making their own films. Ever since then Animate Clay has expanded, selling even more helpful information products that I've made for my visitors. That includes DVD's on sculpting, animating, armature design, videos on smoothing clay, sculpting hair and making aluminum wire armatures. I have also collaborated with armature designers to periodically offer armature kits for those who have bigger projects.
What's great is to see people utilizing the techniques in our DVD's, videos, kits and e-books and really making much nicer films as a result. Being able to reveal solutions to problems that I once had to work so hard to learn is really rewarding. With the Internet everything is available to everyone when it was once a secret craft. There are more animated films being made now thanks to the Internet and technology. Its great to be a part of it!
If you would like to learn more about clay and stop motion animation, make sure to bookmark this site. We have a free newsletter, products in the store to help you learn the tricks to better film making and news which is updated each week.

Descargue la versión para imprimir de las Preguntas Frecuentes acerca de la Línea Roja
Click on a frequently asked question below to see the answer.
What is the Baltimore Red Line?
The Red Line is a proposed Light Rail transit project that will create the Baltimore region's first east-west rapid transit connection between west Baltimore County and east Baltimore City, connecting the areas of Woodlawn, Edmondson Village, West Baltimore, Downtown, Harbor East, Fells Point, Canton and the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Campus. The Red Line could transform travel in the corridor with faster, more reliable service to the region's job and entertainment centers as well as existing bus and rail services.
Is this the same as the Red Line in Washington?
No, the Baltimore Red Line is a 14.1-mile east-west Light Rail that will travel between western Baltimore County and eastern Baltimore City. The Red Line will connect to other transit in the Baltimore region, including the MARC Train that travels to Washington, D.C.
As is common for well-integrated transit networks, each of the six rail lines identified in the Baltimore Regional Rail System Plan was designated by a color. Red was chosen for the east-west line; green for the existing Metro Subway from Owings Mills to Johns Hopkins Hospital (and any future extension); blue for the existing Light Rail line; yellow for a new downtown line along the York Road/Greenmount Avenue corridor to Towson and Hunt Valley on the north and Columbia to the west; purple for the existing MARC Penn Line corridor and any improvements; and orange for the existing MARC Camden Line corridor and associated improvements.
View the Baltimore Regional Rail System Plan.
Where will the Red Line go?
The Red Line will travel 14.1 miles between west Baltimore County and east Baltimore City, stopping at 19 proposed stations listed below. In addition to serving downtown Baltimore, the line will also reach key Baltimore institutions like the Social Security Administration, University of Maryland at Baltimore and the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Campus, as well as local attractions such as the Inner Harbor, Gwynn Falls Trails, the historic communities of West Baltimore, as well as the historic Fells Point community.

Is the Red Line a "done deal"?
No. As with most public infrastructure projects, the Red Line project must go through a procedural and regulatory process (see the project schedule for more information). The Project recently achieved a significant milestone (February 2013), when the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) issued a Record of Decision, confirming the Red Line's eligibility for federal funds. This decision marked the end of a rigorous and extensive process to identify and mitigate impacts to communities, historic buildings and natural resources such as parks, wetlands and trees. There are still a number of steps that need to be taken in order to consider the project a "done deal," including State and federal funding for construction.
To this end, the Maryland General Assembly recently passed the 2013 Transportation Infrastructure Investment Act - focused on funding a balanced statewide transportation network, from road projects to transit projects. This provides the state funds necessary to advance engineering and take important steps toward preparing for construction.
What is the project schedule?
View the current Project Timeline.
How much will it cost? How is the Red Line funded?
The Baltimore Red Line will cost $2.6 billion in "year of expenditure" dollars to build. "Year of expenditure" means that inflation has been taken into account. This cost includes construction of the tracks on the surface and in tunnels, rail cars, a maintenance building, and professional services like engineering, inspection, and insurance. The MTA will submit an application to the Federal Transit Administration for funding from its New Starts Program. If awarded, New Starts funding would pay up to 50-percent of the project. The Red Line will be built with a combination of local, state, federal, and private funds. With the passage of the Transportation Infrastructure Investment Act of 2013, the Governor and legislature have demonstrated a funding commitment to construct the Red Line.
Will property be needed to build the Baltimore Red Line?
The Red Line is being designed to avoid or to minimize property impacts to homes and businesses. By State law, there can be no involuntary residential displacements.
The majority of the Red Line will be constructed within the public right-of-way. In some cases small strips of property would be acquired so the road can be widened to accommodate both the Red Line and automobile traffic. In that case, property owners would be paid the value of their property using a process that is determined by State and federal law. For more information, including contact information for staff who can help you understand the process, click here.
In cases where commercial property may be required, the acquisition process would follow federal guidelines for commercial properties.
How will the Red Line connect to existing transportation options?
The Red Line would connect with:
- Light Rail at the Howard Street station
- Metro Subway via a weather-protected tunnel at the Inner Harbor Station
- MARC Penn Line at both the West Baltimore MARC station and the future Bayview MARC station
It would also connect with bus routes along the corridor and stop at five stations identified for Park and Ride lots. (See question "Will the Red Line provide parking?" below.) The Red Line will also accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians with safe and convenient access and connections to many stations.
Will the Red Line affect existing MTA bus routes/schedules?
Portions of the bus routes operating within the corridor parallel to the Red Line (e.g., bus routes 10, 15, 20, 23, 30, 40 and 150) would likely be modified to serve new Red Line stations. Those bus lines would become "feeder" routes, operating locally through neighborhoods and along major streets, serving Red Line transit stations so passengers can transfer to the faster Red Line. This is how some bus routes operate today in relation to Metro Subway and Light Rail stations. The rationale is that once the investment is made in the Red Line, a light rail transit line, the MTA should reduce redundant bus routes that parallel or duplicate service that the Red Line provides. Some local bus service would continue running along streets adjacent to the Red Line to serve local bus stops not convenient to Red Line stations. Bus routes outside of the corridor and those crossing the corridor (such as routes 1, 7, 11, 13, 16, 21, 22, 24, 30, 38, 44, 47, 51, 57, 77 and 160) may be modified, if appropriate, to serve an adjacent Red Line station and allow transfers between those routes and Red Line service.
MTA will hold public hearings on proposed bus changes when we are closer to completion of the Red Line, and we expect to refine the bus operations plan until opening day.
What will the Red Line hours of operation be?
Although the hours of operation for the existing transit system may change by Red Line operation year 2022, the projected hours of operation for the proposed Baltimore Red Line would be comparable to the hours of operation for the existing Central Light Rail. The current hours of operation of the Light Rail Line are:
- Weekdays – 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m.
- Saturdays – 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m.
- Sundays – 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
How frequently will the Red Line run?
The Red Line is projected to run every ten minutes during peak hours for the opening year of service. The MTA may adjust headways in the future based on ridership demands. The one-way travel time of the full 14.1-mile corridor – from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to Bayview MARC – is approximately 44 minutes. The final schedule will be determined in conjunction with cost and projected service demand.
How much will it cost to ride the Red Line?
The cost to ride the Red Line—as well as the fare for transfers to buses, the existing Light Rail and the Metro Subway—is a decision that will be made closer to the beginning of operations. However, we expect that the cost of a ride would be the same as the cost of riding the rest of the transit system.
Will the Red Line provide parking?
Parking would be located at several places along the alignment. These stations would provide commuters with easy access from interstate highways and suburban communities to a convenient parking area near the Red Line.
To date, the number of spaces below has been identified for Red Line park and ride stations. These numbers are subject to change based on engineering revisions:
- Security Square Mall: 400
- I-70 Park & Ride: 803*
- West Baltimore MARC: 638
- Brewers Hill/ Canton Crossing: 317
- Bayview MARC: 500*
*Can be expanded in the future if necessary.
Will the Red Line create Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)?
"Transit-Oriented Development" is walkable, mixed use development centered at a transit station. TOD would be a desirable outcome of the Red Line because walkable neighborhoods mean less driving which reduces regional congestion, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Walkable communities accommodate more healthy and active lifestyles. Potential for added value is created through increased and/or sustained property values where transit investments have occurred. Access to jobs and economic opportunity are improved for all skill and income levels. Mobility choices are enhanced with reduced dependence on the automobile which improves air quality and also reduces transportation costs for citizens, freeing up household income for a variety of other productive purposes.
For these reasons, transit often adds value to properties and encourages new development. In many cases communities seize the opportunity presented by a new transit system to leverage the potential for planned growth that brings more services, jobs and residences to neighborhoods within walking distance of transit stations.
MTA is partnering with Baltimore City and Baltimore County to look for opportunities for TOD.
Will the Red Line create jobs?
Yes, the Red Line is expected to create both short and long term employment.
Job opportunities for the Red Line will fall into two categories: new jobs and better access to existing jobs. In public works construction projects of this magnitude, contractors rely heavily on the local labor pool to help build it. Both skilled and unskilled labor will be necessary. In order to maximize job opportunities for local businesses and residents, MTA is working with local training agencies to make sure residents have opportunities for training well before hiring takes place. To learn more about the MTA's Workforce Development Initiative, please view the Workforce Development document.
Once the Red Line is built and open for service, MTA would have new positions in operations and maintenance. This can include a wide range of jobs such as drivers, security personnel, and mechanics. New jobs also could result from re-development or new development near Red Line stations, particularly from Transit-Oriented Development.
Better access to existing jobs within the Red Line corridor also would occur. Major employers such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Social Security Administration and companies located downtown and at Harbor East would benefit from higher quality transit access and service. Residents who live within the corridor not only would have better access to jobs within the corridor but also to jobs accessible via connections to MARC, Light Rail, and Metro.
Will the entire project be built all at once?
At this point MTA is planning to build the entire line as a single project between 2015 and 2021 because this is the least disruptive and most cost effective way to bring better transit service to the corridor. If funding is not sufficient to accomplish this it would be possible to build the Red Line in phases starting with the downtown section and then completing the surface sections over time.
How long will it take to build the Red Line?
The Red Line is expected to be constructed between 2015 and 2021, but most areas of the corridor would only be under construction for a portion of that time. The schedule is created around what is called the "critical path" which is made up of work items that must take place before other work can begin. Work would start with excavation of the Downtown and Cooks Lane tunnels and downtown station boxes which will take the longest to complete. During that period the surface sections such as Boston Street and Edmondson Avenue as well as the maintenance facility will be completed. Construction will be mostly complete by late 2021, and is followed by a period of testing of the power and communications systems, elevators and escalators, and trains. Only after every system has been thoroughly tested will the line begin operation.
How many people are expected to ride the Red Line?
Over 54,000 riders will ride the Red Line each day by 2035. Ridership is estimated using a complex "travel demand model" which was developed by the Baltimore Metropolitan Council to support transportation planning in the Baltimore region. MTA made some technical improvements to the model so it would provide the detail needed for the Red Line, and the improvements were approved by the Federal Transit Administration.
What are the roles of the State of Maryland, Baltimore City and Baltimore County local governments?
The State of Maryland, through the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA), has jurisdiction over planning, developing, acquiring, financing and operating transit facilities - buses, Light Rail, the Metro Subway, MARC, and the proposed Red Line. The role of local governments is advisory yet extremely important. Coordination among agencies is critical to the development and construction of the project. In order to secure federal transit funds for capital projects, consensus and strong support from local jurisdictions are essential. The MTA looks to the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Baltimore region - the Baltimore Regional Transportation Board - to coordinate transportation planning for capital projects such as the Red Line.
The importance of this coordination between state agencies, city agencies, as well as other public and private sector stakeholders is demonstrated in the Red Line Community Compact which calls on state and local jurisdictions to achieve maximum community benefits. To learn more about the Red Line Community Compact, please visit www.gobaltimoreredline.com.
How is the MTA involving the public in the Baltimore Red Line Project?
The Red Line is using a combination of outreach methods to communicate with community stakeholders throughout the project, including newsletters, social media, and a website.
The Red Line Community Liaisons serve as a direct link of communication between communities in the Red Line corridor and the MTA. They inform community members about the project and articulate communities' comments and concerns to the MTA. Community Liaisons are available to attend community association meetings, organizational meetings, or meet one-on-one to learn about stakeholders' communities and organizations and their perspectives and concerns about the Red Line. Liaisons can also be found at many community events and festivals throughout the Corridor and Greater Baltimore Region.
To provide detailed input on specific stations, MTA mobilized more than 250 citizens and stakeholders to be part of Station Area Advisory Committees (SAAC), which met between October 2010 – June 2012. The SAACs, composed of residents, employees, businesses and other community stakeholders advised the MTA on station planning elements, such as station location and station design. The meeting notes, recommendation and vision and station design plans that the SAACs developed can be viewed via the SAAC link above. A streamlined version of the SAACs will continue to be engaged in the project.
Community members can also stay informed on the project by attending the Red Line Citizens' Advisory Council (CAC) meetings. CAC members are appointed by state and local elected officials. They meet on the second Thursday every other month at locations along the corridor. Meeting dates can be found on the CAC webpage by clicking the above link.
How can I learn more?
There are a number of ways to learn more about the Red Line Project. You can join our mail list to receive newsletters and other useful information about the project. You can also get contact information for the Community Liaison in your area.
You can visit our Resource Hubs along the corridor to retrieve Red Line information.

Monday, March 10, 2014
Follow us:
The state's largest teachers union is filing a lawsuit to challenge the 2011 property tax cap law.
NYSUT has long been opposed to the two percent tax cap, saying it's hurting education in some of the state's poorer school districts. Under the law, sixty percent of voters in school districts have to approve a budget that goes over the two percent cap.
The union argues this is unconstitutional because it limits the amount of local control districts and taxpayers have. They also say it violates the constitutional principle of one person, one vote because those voting for going over the cap have less voting power than those voting against it.
Capital Tonight will have more on the subject Wednesday evening with NYSUT president Dick Iannuzzi as a guest.

A fiery explosion sent two men into action Monday evening.
Investigators say a buildup of natural gas sparked the fire in the Mannford apartments.
Benjamin Mahony said he only met his neighbor a couple of times, but knew he had to do something to try to save her life.
Benjamin was at the building next door when he heard an explosion.
"It's like somebody threw a grenade over there or something and then nobody knows what to do, so I just started helping as many people as I could help," he said.

Benjamin said he hopped over debris and pulled a man out of a downstairs apartment, then ran into Dezarae Greer.
"I was like, 'Please, please my aunt's upstairs,' and he was gone without even thinking. He just ran in," Greer said.
Greer said her aunt was sleeping when the fire started.
"She was scared and kind of reluctant to come out," Greer said.
But that didn't stop Benjamin.
"I had to punch the wall and pull it on top of us, because the ceiling was coming in on top of us, dripping hot tar on top of us," Benjamin said.
That tar gave the woman second and third degree burns on her back.
Benjamin was burned on his arms, neck and head, but he said he would do it all again if it meant saving a life.

"It's nothing anybody else wouldn't have done in the same situation, I hope," he said.
While Benjamin was inside the burning building, his 11-year-old daughter, Keira, stood back and watched, hoping her father would come out alive.

Adding three-dimensional models to your TCL scripts with Tcl3D
Tcl3D brings the world of 3D effects to TCL scripting. We'll show you how to get started with building your own 3D scripts.
Today's PCs have the processing power to handle 3D images that once required expensive Silicon Graphics workstations. The world of 3D programming is therefore open to almost anyone. The OpenGL developers provide a substantial C API, but thanks to Paul Obermeier's new Tcl3D extension [2], getting started with OpenGL has become even easier. Tcl3D offers access to OpenGL commands in TCL. Brian Paul developed his OpenGL widget Togl shortly after OpenGL was first released. However, Tcl developers had to use C to write any functions they needed for creating or lighting models. Tcl3D removes this need, giving scripts access to the lion's share of the OpenGL API. Tcl3D even supports extensions such as OpenGL 2.0, the Nvidias CG Shader library, or SDL joystick support [4].

How to make sense of this construct - "<名詞>、それは<名詞句>"
Ah, that explains the slight difference in emphasis I felt between the left dislocation examples and the ...、それは... sentences. Regarding 体言止め, inverting the order is not essential; just dropping the final particle(s) of sentences like ..<名詞>だ / ..<名詞>する will do. Here's a blog article consisting entirely of 体言止め. |

Yay, a consensus! Yes, it's ok and I would go that route too. There'll be a checkbox titled "Answer your own question" when adding a question, which lets you post an answer at the same time. If I were you, I'd try to think back to the time when you first wondered about "remembrance and recall" and pose it as a question. |

What is the difference between 覚える and 見覚える?
Thx for your view and I'm ready to agree to disagree, but let me put it in a constructive way: by moving the "覚えるvs思い出す" part to an independent Q&A, 1. People already know about it don't have to read that part to get to the answer. 2. It becomes obvious which question to look at when you're searching for "覚えるvs思い出す". 3. Also, you can post a link to the Q&A as a comment to this question (like this): it's more prominent and useful than being in an answer. Overall, it improves the structure of this site. |

" excellent work, and they're able to communicate what they're doing to me: I'm smart, but not necessarily in the project's category. This way, I feel comfortable about what's happening. 5 stars!! "
16 days ago
" I didn't just fill out all 5 max stars because it was fast/easy. NetzPro deserves 10 stars out of 10 if it were possible. We are a very small business, so we always post projects to get bids first, but "sometimes you get what you pay for" - Our experience is NetzPro is a little bit more expensive, but "a lot of bit" better than the rest of the php programmers out there. You won't be disappointed. EXCELLENT php guy. "
26 days ago
" Just finished up my php project. Wow. Perfect. As a first time user of freelancer.com, NetzPro put me at ease and was very honest, upfront, prompt and because of them, i have a lot of doors opened to me for what I can do to my website. I'm just a Dreamweaver basic HTML guy, and now I can totally blow out my website at wheresmytutor.com. I'd use them again 100%. Worth the $ "

" Netzpro worked hard and made a great looking website for me. Great communication and wasn't pushy and let me take my time. "

" Prodipta and his team are by far the most experienced and professional team of programmers I have worked with on Freelancer. They have delivered a complicated contact management and billing system from barebone specs. They have helped develop the system and added their expertise. Needless to say I would not hesitate to hire them again. "

" NetzPro is a perfectionist and his work demonstrates that on every level! The site he created for us is not only beautiful, but the back-end admin functionality is seamless! We will most definitely utilize him for projects going forward! "
We joined vWorker about 6 and a half years ago and were ranked 15th on the day it was acquired by Freelancer. We have completed 350 projects successfully and have 232 reviews. Our Repeat Hire Rate in vWorker was very high not only because of our quality of deliverable but also due to the kind of support we provide all our customers, not only during the course of the projects, but also even after the successful completion of their projects.

This course is a little more challenging that some of the other local courses, but it is extremely fun and the views from the back nine can not be beat. All 18 just had maps and distances put up at each hole.
+0 votes Corey Harrison › September 16, 2013
Very punishing if you can't hit your lines. I was having an off day and had several shots get knocked way into the woods with no line to even get close to the basket. Next time I'm in the neighborhood I'm definitely playing this course again

DES MOINES -- Lindsay Wesdorf and Tina Stanley both live on campus at Drake University. Overall, they love the school, but once a year they get an email they dread opening.
"I found out through our school email....tuition is going up," Wesdorf said.
A letter from the president of the university states that undergraduate tuition will go up 4.5 percent and room and board another 3.7, making the total cost per year nearly $40,000.
"I think it is kind of crazy," Wesdorf said. "There is between 3,000 and 4,000 students that go here, so to go up in tuition for each student that much is kind of ridiculous."
According to the school, Drakes tuition increases have been below the national average for both private and public universities; however the continual hikes are making current students uneasy.
"I wish we would have known…ahead of time so I could have prepared for it," said Jasmine Anderson, a Drake University Junior.
The schools say the reason for the hike is to retain the faculty and staffs they have as salary requirements and benefits have gone up. A smaller portion of the money will go to a newly adopted strategic plan for the school.
However, students question if the cost is worth what they are getting out it.
"Its definitely too high because it feels like you go into debt for it," said Jared Netley, a pharmacy student. "Then you just have to work your way out of it and it doesn't really give you that much advantage, especially in the job market today."
Drake University administrators were not available for comment on Monday, but a spokesman says the school does give out $50 million each year in scholarships to their students to help offset the costs.

Probability of Success
2007-08: Michael Chaput was drafted in the first round (9th overall) of the 2008 QMJHL Draft by the Lewiston MAINEiacs.
2008-09: In his QMJHL rookie season, Chaput played 29 games for the MAINEiacs. He scored 3 goals and added 7 assists for 10 points to go along with 34 penalty minutes. Michael is the brother of Stefan Chaput (CAR).
2009-10: Chaput played in 68 games for the Lewiston MAINEiacs, scoring 28 goals and adding 27 assists for 55 points. He added on 60 penalty minutes for the season. In 4 playoff games, he picked up 1 assist.
2010-11: Chaput was the second-leading scorer for the Lewiston MAINEiacs in his third QMJHL season. he scored 25 goals with 34 assists and was +23 with 97 PMs in 62 games as the MAINEiacs finished second in the East Division and advanced to the third round of the playoffs. Chaput tied for the team lead in playoff scoring despite missing two games – finishing with 7 goals and 13 assists. Columbus obtained the rights to Chaput in February 2011 in a trade deadline deal with the Flyers.
2011-12: Chaput joined the Shawinigan Cataractes to start the season and he flourished. He scored 21 goals and 42 assists in only 57 games and had a plus 39 rating. In the playoffs he was just above a point-per-game pace with 12 points (four goals and eight assists) in 11 games.
2012-13: Signed to an entry-level three-year contract by the Blue Jackets in April 2012, Chaput skated in 73 games for Columbus AHL affiliate Springfield as a 20-year-old. He scored 13 goals with 19 assists and was -2 with 57 penalty minutes. Springfield finished first in the Northeast Division and reached the second round in the playoffs. In eight playoff games Chaput scored 1 goal with 1 assist and was -3 with 4 penalty minutes.
Talent Analysis
The younger brother of Carolina prospect Stefan Chaput may be a bit more offensively savvy than his older sibling, but they share the ability to contribute at both ends of the ice. Though not overly physical and needing additional strength, Chaput shows a knack for sneaking through traffic and finding open ice. He is great in the face-off dot and has the ability to lead a team to victory.
This season could be huge for Chaput. He only had half a season playing a premiere role with Springfield because the lockout flushed many NHL ready prospects into the AHL. This year will be different and will result in the Montreal product seeing more ice time, especially on the power play.

Pumpkin NookThe Internet Shrine and Library for Pumpkins |
Other: * * * * * * *
Those Pesky Bugs!.... An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure....... There are countless varieties of insects. Many of these bugs, are harmful to pumpkin plants and fruit. In addition, insects are carriers of bacteria and fungus disease spores, transmitting them from plant to plant. Controlling these "bad boys" can save you troubles with plant disease down the road. Many of us(this author included) prefer organic gardening nethods, and a minimal use of chemicals and sprays. After all, one of the reasons we garden, is to control the chemicals we are exposed to. However, sometimes you just have to apply chemicals. The backyard gardener who is growing just a few pumpkins, may opt not to use insect sprays. The risk is insects will destroy the plant prematurely, and the size of the fruit will not reach it's potential. If you are in search of the behemoth pumpkin, spraying to control insects is unfortunately a must. If you do not spray, you risk a smaller pumpkin, or even worse consequences. Here are some of the common insect and bug problems, and what you should do to avoid them: Cucumber Beetle (and other beetles): This is the most common insect enemy to your vine crops. These pests can damage the leaves and transmit diseases which may prove fatal to the plant. Fortunately, most common pest controls are effective against this pest. Use the milder sprays and dusts early on. Apply stronger sprays such a Diazinon or Malathion for major infestation, and later in the season when a wide variety of bugs are out in full force. Then switch back to milder sprays and dusts in September as the season winds down and the bugs are no longer in abundance. Snails and Slugs: These slimy little creatures of the night love to suck on the soft pumpkin fruit. They normally do not attack regular pumpkins. One of their favorite snacks, is a young giant pumpkin fruit before the skin begins to harden. They will eat holes deeply into the fruit, destroying it. Fortunately, there is an easy and environmentally friendly ways to defend against snails and slugs. The easiest method is to put a layer of sand beneath and a few inches around the pumpkin fruit. These pests do not like to travel across sand. This effectively halts them from reaching the fruit. As the fruit grows, add more sand. Continue to provide a ring of protection until the skin shows signs of hardening. Applying Snail and Slug Pellets is also very effective. They eat the pellets and die. When going for the big one, I use both the bed of sand and the Snail and Slug pellets. I do not risk losing the prizewinner. I will apply the bait until the pumpkin skin has begun to harden(four to six weeks). After this point, snails and slugs will not bother the fruit. Snails and slugs seldom bother regular pumpkins to any significant degree. Consequently, you do not need to use sand or Snail and Slug bait for regular pumpkins. Ditto for the smaller varieties like "Jack Be Little". Vine Borers There is no more certain way to end your pumpkin growing season, than to have an infestation of vine borers. These little critters bore into pumpkin vines at or near the base, sucking on the juices and eating away the vine. Once inside, they progress up inside the vine, making it difficult to detect until great damage is already done. If your fruit is growing well, and all of a sudden slows down, this may be the cause. After the damage is done the vine will shrivel and die. The presence of secondary roots may continue to produce a little more towards fruit weight, but effectively your season is over, if they eat through the vine. Some growers perform surgery, cutting into the vine, extracting the vine borer, then patching the entry wound. After, surgery, sprays are applied and the vine is covered with soil to promote secondary root growth. However, success is limited and significant damage is often done during surgery. Vine borers attack most members of the Cucurbita family- pumpkins, squash and cucumbers. It is important to guard against an infestation before it happens. Spray your vines with a strong chemical such as Diazinion. read the label before yu buy. Make certain the spray is effective against Squash Vine Borers. Make sure to cover the vine thoroughly, especially near the base. Mix the spray according to the manufacturer's instruction. Don't forget to put the container out of reach of small children. Repeat applications as necessary and in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction. Squash Bug Squash bugs are sucking insects that enjoy munching on your leaves and stems. They are easily controlled by regular applications of Sevin.
