"Gemini's Story"
Posted 26 August 2006 - 02:00 AM
To say that I was appalled at Stanley's living conditions would be to make the under statement of the year! He had a large enough cage-but not enough toys(for a Bird as Intelligent as He) He did not have cuttle-bone and mineral block-which I had given him to put into the cage when he had come to take him home, and He had nothing but SEED in his feed dish's!!!!! I saw NO extra dishes for the fruits/veggies/beans etc that I had told him were crucial to Stanley's well being(Lord help me- I wanted to DECK this MAN)!!!)I asked him if he had at least been giving Stanley the hand-food(which I had supplied him with enough for several weeks in addition to the syringes, nolvason for soaking them in and all the other foods etc at NO cost to him).WELL The syringes were SO filthy and NOT useable, I threw them away. I'm glad I had the for-sight to bring new ones with me!OK-So I fix up some hand food and give Stanley a good feeding--ALL THE WHILE-Trying to talk this MAN into letting Me take Stanley off his hands! He is obviously not capable of caring for this Bird!!!! Now this man has a Limo service and a power wash business so he is by NO means hurting for money, AND I really did not expect for him to just give ME the bird. But I also did not expect his reaction of "GEE I paid X amount for him and over $500 in vet bills so I need to get X amount for him!" "HOLY-CraP"-Here I have out of the goodness of my Heart been Treating this poor bird-Giving him everything he needs to keep him Happy and Healthy and He came out with THAT@##%^*((%$-Sorry I try Not to swearLThere was NO way that I could buy Stanley from him! OK-so Stanley is OK for now-He has everything He needs(I put the cuttle-bone and mineral block into his cage)and I left enough New Good foods etc to last the week! And again I have Stanley's Dads absolute promise that He will indeed try harder to give Stanley the proper care! So I leave Him there! ALL seemed well for about a month-Then I get a panicky call that Stanley is having seizures yet again-Can he bring him up? Stanley stayed with me for almost 3 weeks this time--OH He was Much better with-in days-I just did not want to let him go back. Again I tried My darndest to get him to Let Stanley be affordable to me-OR to accept some kind of payment arrangement! But it seemed that each time he took him back and SAW him Happy, Healthy, Talking and Playful he was more determined to keep himL Mean while I'm getting ready for another trip to NC to visit My Daughter(the trip would cost less then My phone bill-LOL) My Mom, Gemini and I made the trip and wouldn't ya know-We were there for a week But when We left-We were set up for the closing on a House a month later.(5 miles from Jamie) I rekon it was meant to be! OK-That month fly's by(packing-packing and More packing. Even though the closing was in October-we would be renting the house back to them until May(gave them time to build their house and Me more time to go through and pack 70 years of My Mothers stuff and 40 years of mineL!!! Stanley came to stay with me twice more before I moved away from NY, The last time for a month(actually up until 4 days before I left)! I had been constantly trying to convince Stanley's Dad to let me Take him-to no availL Trust me It was ALL I could do to let him take that Dear Sweet Bird away from Me yet again for God knows what kind of future! I did fill My Friend(who had referred him to me) in on everything that Stanley needed and She assured Me that He(the Dad) could come to Her for everything that I had been supplying to him for Stanley.(By now she had set up a Breeding facility and small supply store(and I Helped-LOL)I trusted Her to be able to Help Stanley if she was needed and I could only Pray That Dear old DAD would go to her! All went well for a couple of years(she did have to help him out a couple of times)-OH How I hated that MAN. Then due to life changes -She moved and I lost track of her. It was a few years later that I found out what I so did NOT want to hear-That Stanley had flown over the Rain-bow Bridge- I wish that this part of the story could have had a Happy ending and I consider telling Stanley's story as My Tribute to HIM-He was a Great little bird, with a Great big heart and strong will to live. MY Regret-That I did not just give the jerk the wrong info about my leaving town(Like that it would be a month or so later) And Had just Brought Stanley here with me!
Fly Free, without Pain and Suffering Sweet Stanley-I will always Remember and Love YOU!

Geminis Story Chapter 11
Seeing as how the last chapter was really quite sad, I decided to really lighten it up a Bit with one of My favorite Gemini'Izims!
I had mentioned previously that Gemini loved to stand at the top of the stairs and Talk-especially if I was down stairs to carry on a conversation with her. I have to also Mention that Gemini seemed to know everyone that came into contact with her BY Name and she Imitated Every-one's voices (rather well I might add) . This is one of the top of the stairs episodes that I will Never forget-neither will any of the others that were there(LOL).
WELL one day My employers (whom I had introduced into the wonder full world of being owned by Fids-they had some of My hand raised cockatiels),My Mom and I were visiting down stairs. Soon we heard "Whad-YA SAY?" coming from the top of the stairs. Sharon and Bill had never really heard Gemini go through her spiel -SO I was happy to oblige. It went like this-Me- "whad-ya say"
Gemini "I said I love You"
Me- "I Love You to"
Gemini- "I Love YOU SOOOO MUCHHH"
Me- " I Love You More"
Gemini- "Mommy's Sweet Baby Grey"
Me- "Yes You ARE!"
Well They got a Kick out of this-but for some reason,(Yea I guess I was being a Proud mama and showing her off )but I decided to try something different. guess I thought I would test her recognition
--The results FAR surpassed anything I ever could have imagined(My Regret-I don't have it on tape)(now keep in mind about her knowing everybody by name and using their voices)
Gemini- "Love YOU"
Me- "Jamie"
Gemini- "Hi Gemini-how are You"
Me- "Mom"
Gemini- "Hi Sweetie"
Me- "Bill"
Gemini- "HI GUYS-HI GEMINI"
By now we are laughing so hard I can hardly talk-But I have one more to try with her---and that is My Significant others name---are Ya all ready for this?
Me- "Todd"
Gemini "Will you shut up!" OMG Sharon was literally ON the Floor she was laughing SO HARD-and what made it even funnier is That Todd walked in while we were all still cracking Up-Not knowing what a Little Birdie had told US about what HE says to the Fids when Mommy is Not around!!!!! It took all of Us quite awhile to stop laughing and explain to him what had transpired--Can YOU Imagine HIS Embarrassment -Ya Gotta Love Grey! To be Continued!

I do have one that I am going to take in to look at his wings as soon as I get back on my feet really well and have some money saved up. He also has seizures. Right now I am trying to get over surgery and then have PT which will take a big chunk of my check. I have just gotten finished paying off on my hahns vet bill as well as the surgery for my dog and vet bill for an eggbound Tiel so I have had a wringer when it comes to the vet for the past year or two.
I live in Winston Salem so I am not too far from you. I was at the bird fair in Raleigh in May with some of my breeder friends. Don't know if you know anyone there or not.

Gemini's Story-Chapter 12 -
Gemini was 15 this July and not a day goes by that I don't Thank My lucky stars For having Her in my life, but also wonder and worry about the day That I loose her. The older she gets is like a double edge sword-I worry less because she has not had a seizure in 14 years, she has great feathering/weight/ is Happy and Healthy-On the outside. Its what is going on inside that concerns Me! If she were to actually get broody and start to lay eggs-Lord have Mercy-I don't know if her body could take That kind of calcium strain. Also I know that birds can and Do get arthritis- what if She gets it in her neck--Worry- worry -worry !All of You know just how much a part of your family these Fids become, as a matter of fact- My daughter and I joke about just what was life before Fids? Gemini probably put Me through as many trying times in the past 15 years as any human child would have-BUT She also has brought Me as much Joy and laughter ! I have had many discussions with people about whether a bird just mimics or actually Knows what they are saying. I sure have some Gemini'isms that to Me prove they not only KNOW what they are saying--But they show and say emotion and a Very GOOD Sense of Humor! (Gemini will ask "Mommy Scratch Your Head?" ) and bite me if I try to then laugh or say "Don't YOU Bite Mommy" in her sternest little voice.
One time She was out on an outside the cage perch playing with a toy(I actually have this on video), well she was getting a bit rough and the toy swung up and hit her-she let go of it and said- "OWWW Don't you bite me"
Or asking the Quaker "You OK Baby huh You OK" after pushing him off the perch and onto the floor. Gemini has always been the Mother Hen, asking Babies- "You Hungry huh you hungry-it's good" She is the first to reassure the others if something spooks them-with "Its OK, Its OK" Or she is the first to tell the others to "Knock it off" or "You be Quiet" or "will You shut up" Oh another thing about having Her and GrizzleBird in MY Bedroom--They both started to groan when they stretched in the morning. Remember in the Last chapter-I mentioned Todd- well he really did love the Fids-BUT he developed bronchitis one time and had THE worst cough I have ever heard--That is until Gemini started to do it-OMG I thought I would die laughing--Todd did not think it was funnyL---SO I think in order to make amends with Todd-Gemini would start to say "BAD Cough-You OK Baby?" when He would have a Coughing fit and would only do HIS cough when he was not there(Smart Bird)! Gemini could also be called a Stool Pigeon-so to speak(LOL) My Mom could not leave the house( while I was out at work) without My knowing it. Mom had a little yappie type dog that yapped the whole time that she would be gone. Well, when I would get home from work and go upstairs to see the Fids-Gemini would start Yapping-just like the dog. Later I would go down stairs and ask Mom where she went- "how do You know I went out?" she would ask(Tee-Hee) "A Little Bird Told Me" was my reply! In the next Chapter we will be Moving to North Carolina! What a trip that was!!!!!

The tiels get a quality brand seed mix, Zupreem pellets, Sm Bird fruit and veggie mix and other treats such as nutriberries and avicakes as well as millet. They are not really into fresh food though I am trying to see if I can get them to eat a little.

Gemini's Story-Chapter 14
AH-the trip to NC-actually I moved My Mom the flock, cat, dog and myself down in 2 trips all within 4 days. My sister and I made a trip down with my van slam full of the Birds (in travel cages-on top of their regular cages-broken down)Gemini had to give up her normal co-pilots seat to my sister, but she was right between Us(captain seats).We had packed a cooler full of water, fruits, veggies and special treats and stopped often to allow all the fids time to eat etc. Gemini would let Us know when it was time for a stop-Either by saying "Bombs Away" meaning potty time or "Yum Yum Yummy" time to eat . The etc-is the fact that one of the few tiels that I had decided to bring with me actually laid an egg during the trip.Gemini was her usual blabber beak self-now she not only did the siren when a big truck came along side Us but when we went through the tunnel! Donna(sister had not heard her do it before and cracked up).All of the birds were really wonderful on the trip, I had covered the back and sides of all the cages so they could see just Us and not the scary stuff outside. .There was a lot of talking and singing going on in that van. It took Us 14 hours to make the 660 mile trip. My Daughter and her husband met us at the house to unload and set up the fids. Its funny how we were all so concerned about making sure that the Fids had a safe trip and were set up and Happy-that We did not even think about US! We had to sleep on the floor with some pillows and blankets that my daughter brought overJ.Next day-back to NY-Gemini with Us, my daughter watching the flock till I got back 2 days later with Mom, Gemini, the cat, dog, 40 some years of my junk and 70 of MomsLWhew-I aint gonna do THAT again in this lifetime! LOL! Lordy how the Fids loved the new set-up. The breeders had their own spacious room with heat and air and the Pet Fids had a room that I put a screen door on so that their cage doors were always open.
Gemini was starting to get a bit less comfortable around the other fids, it seemed the older Grizz got the less Gemini liked himL, so she did not come out of her cage much. She would tell GrizzleBird to "Get I'm gonna Squirt You" if he tried to invade her space.
Gemini has taught me so much, not just from the research that I had to do-AND continue to do(I don't believe You can ever know enough)but from the day to day fact that She has survived and Thrived and continues to do so. I hear Parront's talk a lot about how clumsy their Grey's are Gemini Honestly was Never clumsy-she was very careful and determined to get where she wanted to go. Only once has she ever fallen off her perch and that WAS a RIOT-I swear You could not have scripted this better---Gemini was playing in her cage and the new BF walked by her cage and broke wind---LOUDLY-WELL Gemini fell off the perch as if she had been shot ! ! ! ! She did the Birdie Shake down climbed back up to her perch and said "****" God I Love That Bird!!!!! To Be Continued! Bonnie

I worry alot about this. I am very thankful I have good vets on my side to help if and when we hit that bump in the road.
Emma cant travel. She gets car sick. I woulda thought Gemini would have been the same..Tho,I know one Grey, Sylvain,(same problem) who made it cross country without problems. Emma cant travel more then 40 minutes without violent episodes of throwing up. It entails me pulling over, stopping the car, and holding her to calm her down. George will be going with me to see her vet because someone needs to hold her and calm her, and also she might stay still for George and the Xray if we do it.

As I have said before in a previous chapter- Gemini was not afraid of much-but she did Not like Grizzlebird. One day Her and Grizz got into a beak to beak match and Gemini lost(it happened the day before I was to take My Mom to NY for the summer)Gemini was not badly hurt-but her beak and tongue were bleeding! OMG-Have You ever had to try to stop that kind of bleeding in a bird that will allow You to handle them-let alone one that will NOT!!!I had to towel her(which she actually likedJ ) and hold her on My chest-me lying down on the couch-ALL Night-just to get her calm enough and still enough to allow the bleeding to stop. I would get up every 2 hours and give her warm K-T hand-food to keep her strength up and keep her hydrated. Lord that was a Very long night. The bleeding had stopped but not before it had left her very weak and almost in shock. SO-The travel cage for Her trip to NY had to be turned into a Hospital cage of sorts. Thankfully I had a converter for the car(for transporting babies) so Gemini's cage was fitted with a heating pad and blanket. I started to give her pedialite in addition to the Hand-food. I think I was more scared of loosing her through-out that episode then at any other time in her life. I would stop(during the trip to NY-which could NOT be put off) every 4 hours to hand feed her. She ate really well and did start to act a bit better but it was a good 3 days before she actually climbed up onto her perch and asked for "Yum-Yum-Yummy's"
The trip back to NC was a FAR better trip then the one to NY wasJ . Gemini was back to herself-although her mouth was still very tender. She would eat her warm bean/rice/fruit/veggie mix real good-but SHE still wanted hand-food--and of course anything the Grand Madam Gemini wanted You can bet-She got it!
All was well after that episode-Grizzlebird seemed to know that I would kick his lil red butt if he bothered Gemini again so He kept his distance. But The 2 of them started a verbal banter that has continued through out the years. It would go something like this
Grizz- "Birds cant Talk"
Gemini -"I can talk can You fly?"
Grizz- "Dumb bird got NO brains"
Gemini- "NO Brains at all"
Grizz- "Help-help let me OUT"
Gemini- "Call a Lawyer"
They just go round and round-it really is funny. The funniest time between the 2 of them though was one day the Grizz was trying to catch a bug that was flying between the 2 panes of glass in the window, Well-he went up one side of the cage, down the other back and forth on top for a good 5 minutes trying to catch that bug. Finally he got frustrated-got stood on top of the cage stomped his little feet and said "****"(I guess I must use that word to often ) Well Gemini looked up at Grizz and said-"GrizzleBird Your BAD".
It was soon after that when Gemini started saying in the gruffest voice she could Muster "Grizzle Grizzle GrizzleBird- It's The Devil" She also started saying quite often "Why are You UP-SIDE DOWN" AND THE Grizz would reply with "Why are You up-down" Remember when I mentioned the BF that broke wind and knocked poor Gemini off her perch--well I don't know where she got it fromJ but she started saying "Gene's a Jerk" and with that Grizzlebird would answer back with "Mener-Mener- Mener Peckerheads" SO If anybody out there does not believe that their Fids are listening at all times-take heed-THEY ARE and they have excellent hearing!
Since moving from NY to NC, Gemini has started using the time when Mommy is cleaning Her cage to do Her special talk to me that she used to do from the top of the stairs. As soon as I start to clean in or around her cage, she starts with " I Love You" I answer- "I Love You too" she says- Whad-Ya say?" I say "I love You" she says "I Love You so Much!" I say Your Mommy's sweet baby Grey" she says "Mommy's sweet Baby Grey!" Then she starts in with some of the things that she can say that she knows are My very favorites-such as " Silly Goose" or "Your LOONEY" or the ever favorite "Bombs away-phafftttt" Got to Love Her!
Yes life with Gemini has been both a challenge and a JOY-and I would NOT give up a moment of it !
Gemini is 15 now and I think this being the 15th chapter is a good time to bring this story to a close (for now).SO as Gemini would say
"By BY see ya Later-You be Good-I Love You"
This is the end of the origional Gemini's Story-There is an Update since this was written,but I have to rewrite it! Thanks again to EVERYONE for your Wonderfull comments on Gemini and Her Story! Hugs to all!

I have mentioned that Gemini does NOT allow Me or anyone else to scratch/pet/rub her in any way-She will allow Me to pick her up off the floor-then bite My arm as I take her back to her cage . The other day, Gemini was perched on the edge of her cage and she starting saying "Mommy scratch your head-feels SO good" so I thought what the heck-if I get bit it wont be the first or the last time-so I held my hand up to her beak-OMG-She started to rub my fingers and mouth them and push her Dear Sweet little head into my hand for scratches(I cant help it-I'm tearing up yet again as I write this) with tears sliding down my face I was actually rubbing GEMINI and scratching her head and under her wings and her back! You can just imagine how GOOD it felt to actually touch the Special Bird that has so Touched My Life! I hope that Her story has touched Your Lives as well ! As Gemini would say at this time-"Bye-Bye See You Later-You be Good!" "I Love You"
Gemini continues to allow me to Handle her(and take Pictures) But she has to be the one to ask for it:) Ya gotta Love Her!

I am curious about what, if anything, was ever communicated to the breeder you got Gemini from? Did s/he admit to sending a bird too young? Did s/he offer any sort of restitution for sending an obviously ill and way-too-young baby?
Anyway, what a wonderful story--that bird and you were obviously meant to be together! Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed every moment (well, except for hearing about Stanley--that's one really sad episode).

Reviews for Baked Spaghetti Casserole(5)
Sort By :
Seemed like this needed more spaghetti sauce, like another jar perhaps
Super good and easy. We usually add olives to the top. This time I cheaped out on a recipe that said it was 1 hr to bake and it turned out being 2 1/2 with prep and additional baking. No thank you. We just used the crushed tomatoes, spices, onions and garlic in that recipe for this one. Easy switch, I'm sure it'll taste great. Who knew eggplant parm would take that long. This one's definitely a winner!!
I made this last night for my family of 5 and it was wonderful however, I believe there is an error on the amount of uncooked spaghetti. I used an entire box (16oz) but this recipe calls for 6oz and says it serves 9?
Excellent, hard to believe the this recipe is healthy.
I really enjoyed this casserole. The magazine did say that the prep time was =< 20 minutes, which I thought was an underestimate. It took me quite awhile to chop all the vegetables and blend the ricotta. But it was delicious. I added some crushed red pepper to the finished product, and it was great! It also reheats quite nicely.

Additionally, we will roll out the complete list of classes for our foundation track in the next few days. The goal is to have all of the classes for our foundation track- ready to go - by our Summer Term.
"Become a better artist"
Sorry if this has already been answered (at work and couldn't read through all of it.) Wanted to ask what the fees are for all the classes in the term combined, as in not individual classes but a whole term, or do students just have to pick and choose what classes they want to enrol on? Are there seats available for the spring term? Also, are the schedules set up so I could say, sign up for Dynamic sketching 1 and 2 (to do part 2 after?) Thanks!
Hello Torch,
No prob at all. The current pricing model for our school is more a la cart you take as many class as you want from term to term. We do have a recommend track (foundation track) for students who are serious about developing their skills to aspire to be a concept artist. This tracks will help build a students foundational skills,once a student has completed this course they could choose from a couple of options. 1. Enroll in our focus tracks for character and environment design (which will be developed by the end of this year) or with strong foudnational to create a killer portfolio to get accepted at a four year accredited college. The schedule for each term is available here http://www.cgmwmasterclasses.com/academic-year.html

I have recently purchased a 7722FV from manncorp. The idea was to get a machine to do 0402 and BGA work accurately. I currently own an entry level machine from APS (CS40) that although has worked well for me, it is stepper based and doesn't have the precision for this sort of work. I chose the 7722FV over an upgrade to the APS LE40.
But my first impressions with the 7722FV have been somewhat mixed.
I have been having a lot of problems getting it working and after two solid and frustrating weeks with it i still have not succeeded in loading a compete board. The main problems I am now having now are with the machines accuracy.
Getting it set up went pretty smoothly. But out of the box it wouldn't load anything. The manual was very hard to follow and there wasn't any comissioning procedure or anything.
The list of issues I found trying to load a simple board were as follows:
1) machine kept coming up with errors trying to place 0805 and 1206 parts. Rejection was more than 50%. It would not place 0603 resistors at all. 100% rejection.
2) The "F" command in teach mode always showed the head at different random heights. Often well out of the red outline box and would then abort. I then discovered the top of the spindle was loose. After tightening the nuts the results were more consistent. But now it rejected everything!!!
3) changing the spindle height constant from 807 to 870 now allowed me to reliably place parts using LV=1. But the machine still seems to randomly loose this setting.
4) 0402 feeders would not advance. And other feeders would not advance reliably. I found the nylon heads on the advance solenoids were screwed right down. Careful readjustment and tightening of the locking nuts now allows all feeders to advance reliably.
5) placing 0402 parts and even some 0603 parts would be well off the pads. After several emails and a phone call to manncorp I had an alignment procedure for the spindle to camera offset. This improved the issue but some 0402 parts were still missing pads or being placed up to half a component width off.
6) dropping the nozzle on carbon graph paper at various rotations showed significant nozzle offsets at rotations other than 0 degrees. Manncorp helped me with an alignment procedure for the placement rotations. This fixes the problem for most jelly bean parts but placement still seems to be a bit variable, especially as I move along the x direction. And I am using panel fiducials.
7) QFP and BGA packages are still placed with significant and unusable offsets. 0.5mm BGAs and fine pitch QFPs using LV=26 or LV=27 are placed up to a whole ball or pin off.
I notice that without learned fiducials if I place a metric rule in place of the PCB and align the origin to be 0mm, when I get to 300mm the difference between the rule and the navigation window in the x-direction is more than 1mm. If I do the same for the Y direction the error is not as great but is offset the other way.
9) as has already been mentioned by others SOT23 and SOT323 packages with LV=1 that are not rejected are always rotated and offset. I have had only random success with LV=26 and 27. And the manual is pretty useless in this area. All complex parts that do manage to get placed need manual tweaking. Kind of pointless machine pacing them in the first place!
10) I regularly get run time errors that crash the software while setting up parts with no explanation and no chance to save work.
What I am basically wanting to know is if these sorts of commissioning and operation problems with the 7722FV are normal or is it possible that a significant step has been missed in the manufacturing process. Did anyone else get a commissioning or alignment instruction with their machine?
I had some issues with the APS machine initially, but nowhere near as much as this. Please, any comments from others experienced with machine would be appreciated.

text: While Myanmar continues to take steps forward in its reformation efforts, it has recently faced struggles with regards to the status of human rights within the country. Last month, human rights group Partners Relief and Development [advocacy website] said that Myanmar soldiers may be committing war crimes [JURIST report] in the form of torture and forced labor against ethnic communities in Kachin State. The group issued a report [text, PDF, graphic content] documenting the war crimes which allegedly began on June 9 after a 17-year ceasefire agreement was broken to begin a war between the Myanmar army and the Kachin Independence Army [BBC backgrounder]. Evidence for the alleged war crimes was gathered from first-hand interviews of witnesses in Myanmar. The report calls attention to Myanmar's legal obligations and highlights that it has failed to honor its obligations under human rights law and the Geneva Convention [ICRC backgrounder] and that it may also be subject to charges from the International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website]. The report calls on the UN to conduct an investigation into the war crimes in Myanmar. Earlier in November, the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission (MNHRC) urged Sein to release political prisoners [JURIST report]. In an open letter to Sein published in three state-owned newspapers, the MNHRC indicated that domestic and international support would follow the prisoners' release. Sein had granted amnesty to 6,359 prisoners in October following a similar open letter issued by the MNHRC.

Why Business-to-Business Advertising Works
In order for a product to be sold, it obviously must have a buyer. In the industrial world, the selection of a product by brand is influenced by more than the buyer. In fact, for engineered components and related products, purchased for the manufacture of machinery, it is often the design engineer who makes the brand selection in conjunction with the company buyer. The engineer usually has the most influence.
For component manufacturers to sell more of their products and increase their market share to OEM customers, they obviously must influence more design engineers to select their products. For component manufacturers to sell more of their products to aftermarket users, they must influence the technical buyer at that level.
Both of the decision makers mentioned here are technically oriented buyers. They need technical information. Traditionally, they have turned to technical magazines for updates on technical information needed on the job. They still do. That is why technical trade magazine exist. That is why my magazine, Hydraulics & Pneumatics, exists.
When our technical readers turn to our magazine for information every month, they read the articles, tutorials, and product reviews. They also read the advertising because the information found in advertising is very similar to information found in the editorial in our technical magazines.
The more that technical readers see and learn about the products advertised, the more likely they are to consider the brands advertised. The key word is consider. In most technical buying decisions, the buyer, whether a design engineer or aftermarket specialist, will generally have a short list of possible suppliers for every component.
To get onto that short list, component manufacturers must be known. That is where advertising comes into the picture. If an advertiser sends the right message, with the appropriate frequency, and uses the best possible vehicle, their advertising will work. When a decision is made by and advertiser that a particular magazine reaches an audience of potential buyers, the advertiser must commit to a campaign that stretches out over at least a year, preferably years and with a frequency of at least every other issue.
With that combination of frequency and reach, advertising will be successful. It has been proven again and again by studies of readers and advertisers and it makes good common sense that the right message sent to the right audience will produce results.

Karmazin Says Sayonara to Sirius
NEW YORK — Sirius XM CEO Mel Karmazin has informed the company's board of directors that he will leave the company on Feb. 1, after his current employment contract expires.
Karmazin's departure is no surprise — he has locked horns with Sirius' largest shareholder, Liberty Media, and briefly opposed Liberty's eff orts to take control of the satellite-radio giant. On the company's second-quarter earnings conference call in August, Karmazin noted that he had not had an enjoyable experience working for someone else at Viacom, but said that he and the board would work out any questions about his employment with Sirius before its scheduled third-quarter earnings call.
Karmazin joined Sirius Satellite Radio in 2004 after a four-year stint as chief operating officer of cable programming giant Viacom. He steered Sirius through its 2008 merger with rival XM Satellite Radio (which created Sirius XM) and helped engineer the $530 million bailout loan in 2009 from Liberty that gave the Denverbased media giant a 40% interest in Sirius XM.
Sirius XM has formed a search committee for Karmazin's replacement, headed by Liberty CEO Greg Maff ei and including Sirius XM chairman Eddy Hartenstein and Virgin Media chairman James Mooney.

Cincinnati Parks
As a follow up to the Emmy Award-winning documentary Cincinnati Parks: Emeralds in the Crown, CET gives you a closer look at two of Cincinnati's most beloved parks, Ault and Eden, in two half-hour documentaries.
Eden Park: Cincinnati's Garden of Eden
In Eden Park: Cincinnati's Garden of Eden, viewers are given a look back at the rich history of Eden Park, dating back to the 1850's when the park was designated for the city's water supply. The program explores how Eden Park has transformed over the years, offering an intimate look at the architecture, landscape and public art that makes the park special. The documentary also reflects on individuals who helped create the Eden Park as we know it today, including the original land owner Nicholas Longworth and landscape architect Adolph Strauch. Modern day uses of the park are explored, as well as the ''green'' initiatives that the Cincinnati Park Board has implemented to bring Eden Park into the 21st Century.
Click here to view the trailer for Eden Park: Cincinnati's Garden of Eden.
Ault Park: Emerald in the Crown
In a second half-hour documentary, CET takes you through the history of Ault Park. The park was donated to Cincinnati by Levi Addison Ault, who also led the first Board of Park Commissioners and developed a plan for a city-wide park system. Like Eden Park, grand architecture, breathtaking landscape and community events draw Cincinnatians to visit. The history and architecture of the park's iconic pavilion is explored, as well as monuments and other pieces of public art.

Hey, I have a sketchbook now! Hopefully this will motivate me into pushing myself to draw better constantly, instead of settling for churning out crap safe in the knowledge that no-on will ever see it.
Now, onwards with the art! Some digital doodles, sketches and studies done in Sketchbook Pro and some graphite life-drawings. More soon!Similar Threads

Very cool stuff mate.
Keep posting. Looking forward to seeing more.
http://www.spatsart.com/ - image dump
Spats - Thanks, man!
Okay, here's todays addition. Some pages from my A3 sketchbook, which means I had to photograph them as my scanner is small and weak. That, and I was to lazy to go through the process of stitching them images together.
Got some pages of quick figure studies, most of them from reference, and some heads done with no ref.
like the facial studies a lot. esp the surprised girl.
and the woman beneath her cracked me up
keep posting man*, (now I wished I looked at yer profile first, so that I would know.)
great expressions and figure studies... porn is definitely the best source for female body practice heh.
maybe try more stuff from your imagination and put this growing library of anatomy knowledge to work for you?
either way keep up what you're doing, definitely on the right track
0shade0 - Thanks! I try to do at least a page of faces a day with at least a few expressions, otherwise I end up with a page of grumpy faces.
Ferg - Heh-heh, yeah, porn is awesome reference. Keeps my attention pretty well! Ive been trying stuff straight from imagination but I always had problems constructing a figure from scratch. I got into a bad habit of using figure ref and following it precisely, which has left me unable to draw figures w/out ref. I shall break this habit.
Now for todays somewhat variable contribution. Some torso studies and gestures, a shoddy page of faces and my shoddier attempt at a spacegirl from my imagination...
Oh well. Im going life drawing tomorrow, so there shall be life nudity soon!
Hey there, you got some cool pencil work in here. Nice dark tones in your work.
Feel free to checkout my work:
darkchild's sketchbook
Don't forget to visit the Critique Section!!
* Help a CA artist! Visit the Constructive Critique section! *
darkchild - Thanks man!
Some lifedrawings today, a page of three 15-minute poses and two pages with 45 minute poses. Found these challenging as I am notoriously slow so I was throwing graphite all over the place to try and finish on time. They also shown me how much I really need to work on my hands.
Not much to show today unfortunatley. Been brainstorming my IMAF competition entry and trying to regain my confidence sketching on the computer.
So, here is a screen of warm-up heads and two ideas for the IMAF pinup, complete with an ugly koala. All done in Sketchbook Pro.
Damn, been having a slow day today so I only got my obligatory page of heads done. Been figuring out hair as I noticed I still cant do it.
Now for some stuff from my new A4 sketchbook. Feels weird drawing small again. I think I prefer A3 size but its just not as practical as an A4 book.
Oh yes, and a sketchy digital WIP for the IMAF contest, where I will do my best to pretend to be an anime artist.
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...1&d=1158774603 stoned pandas are generally the best pandas
invinciblewombat - I love pandas that do drugs! Apparently (according to a fellow stoner) cannabis can grow up bamboo shoots and pandas eat it, getting baked.
Anyway, slow progress for me these days, will try and step it up. Today we have the digitally inked IMAF entry. Will colour tommorrow, too tired now. If anyone sees any mistakes in it, now is the time to tell me.
Thanks for making me feel behind the curve. good characters here. I like the way your construct your figures. That is something I definitly have to work on.
Sketchbook:: //// A thread of evolution ////
Azrael - Thanks man! I use Loomis methods for figure construction, starting with a simple manneqiun (did I spell that right?) and then add the main masses to it.
Been a while since my last update, which makes me feel bad as I must keep this up. Especially after seeing how these sketchbooks have improved others skills so much. So, here is some life drawing and a WIP on that IMAF entry.
I'm not a big fan off saggy ones, but your renderings are well done. I'd like to see the boomerang girl finished.
Sketchbook:: //// A thread of evolution ////
Azrael - Thanks again, man! I have the boomerang girl finished here.
Been feeling a bit rusty these days, trying to draw myself out of a slump, so I hit up some loomis studies. I always find that studying loomis mannekins helps me pull my self together. Some noodles here as well, and the finished boomerang girl.
I miss Steve-o so much already, what a cool dude he was. His daughter is too cute. I felt so bad for his family when I heard.
Try to use larger brushes to block things in, then later go in with the little bruhes for highlights. I work a lot in colored pencil, so naturally it took me a while to stop using the little brushes myself. For drawing hair, this might help :Tutorials
hey sir, thinking maybe I should have an icon like yours... seeing as how my name is santaclaus. lol. I just thought that was funny...
I think you have good studies. keep em up. and your photoshop work shows promise... but I agree with bobmarley about blocking in some colors first. Keep posting!
MrBobMarley - I know what you mean about the larger brushes, I used to work in coloured pencils as well. Its another bad habit to break out of. I have a comissioned painting to do soon, so I will force myself out this small brush addiction!
Thanks for the link to that tutorial! I'll have to put that one to use soon.
I miss Steve as well, his show saved my hung-over sunday afternoons from oblivion.
SantaClaus - Thanks for the kind words man! You gotta get yourself a santa avatar, mines just a temporary one till I can put together a spaceman one. I've included the old painting that my santa avatar came from.
Well, some lifedrawings, some gestures and some expressions. Spent the day tring to gain more confidence in my linework and banish my scribbled feathery lines for good. Minimum shading done to see if I could jock Moebius. I cant...

We have recently announced the 2014 classes of Pakistan, East Africa, and India Fellows, and are currently selecting participants for the 2015 Global Fellows Program. One of the key aspects of being an Acumen Fellow is the training program we have developed over the years. Constantly evolving over time, one of the core elements of the training is a seminar called Good Society. Fellows spend time reading and discussing the theories of great thinkers, such as Plato, King, and Mandela on how to create a 'good' society. Based on the work of the Aspen Institute, the sessions seek to provide Acumen Fellows with the chance to think broadly about the historical and moral traditions of social change work. [Read More]

I have always loved crafting from a young age. Only more recently have I developed a love for "upcycling", nosing around in thrift stores to find something I can revamp, browsing garage sales, or cutting up magazines and wrapping paper for making my own greeting cards. I am always on the lookout for a new project! I also learned how to sew from my aunt when I was 14, and have been in love with it ever since. Yay for creativity!! :)

Asthma is more common these days than it used to be. The good news is it's also a lot easier to manage and control.
Since more teens have asthma, you're probably used to seeing people take a break from sports to use an inhaler or take a moment after school to test their airflow with a peak flow meter. But even though asthma is a part of so many people's daily lives, there are times when they can feel annoyed or frustrated at having asthma — just as they get annoyed or frustrated by anything else.
Different people have different reactions to the ways that asthma affects their lives. For example, some worry that they might have to avoid all physical activities — even those approved by their doctors — and miss out on fun. Others go to the opposite extreme, denying they have asthma at all and maybe forgetting or refusing to take the medications that can control it. Still others find that asthma is a convenient excuse to get out of chores or gym class.
If you have asthma and don't want it to have control over you, take control first.
The best tool for controlling asthma is something your doctor gives you called an asthma action plan. Following all the steps described in an action plan allows people with asthma to enjoy daily activities just like everyone else.
Your asthma action plan offers you the best protection against potentially dangerous (not to mention embarrassing) episodes — such as having an asthma attack at a party where people are smoking.
Unfortunately, people may not always stick with their plan for lots of different reasons. Maybe they forget to take medications. Perhaps they don't completely understand why they're supposed to take certain steps or medications. A few might feel embarrassed about checking their airflow or using an inhaler in front of others. And some may mistakenly think they don't need medicine after they start feeling better — putting them at risk for potentially dangerous flare-ups.
Here are some simple steps that can help you get around these common problems:
Using a management plan to deal with asthma is good for more than your health. Getting used to following an asthma action plan can give you the discipline to stick with a plan and succeed in other areas of life as well.

The Morningside College Music Department will present "Choral Ensemble Showcase," a concert featuring the college's Bel Canto Singers, Eclectix vocal jazz ensemble, and Singing Men of Morningside on Sunday, March 25, at 3 p.m. in Eppley Auditorium, 3625 Garretson Avenue.
The public is invited to the free event, which is sponsored by Morningside's Academic and Cultural Arts Series (ACAS).
The Bel Canto Singers, a choir comprised of female Morningside College students, is directed by Jill Wilson, director of the Leo Kucinski Academy of Music.
Tim Watson, assistant professor of music and director of choral activities at Morningside, is the director of the Eclectix vocal jazz ensemble and the Singing Men of Morningside.
The Eclectix, established in 1996, is a highly selective performing group that sings an "eclectic mix" of musical styles. Jazz, pop, show tunes, and a cappella arrangements form their core repertoire. They have been featured on public radio broadcasts and at informal parties and gatherings throughout the Siouxland Community.
The Singing Men of Morningside, founded in 1997, is an all-male chorus consisting of students from a variety of majors and disciplines on the Morningside campus. They specialize in performing music from the "Morningside College Songbook" and frequently perform the national anthem at sporting events throughout Siouxland.
Wilson (right), in her first year at Morningside, earned a bachelor of music degree in music education with a choral emphasis from St. Olaf College in Minnesota and a master of music education degree from the University of Northern Iowa. She currently directs the youth choirs at Augustana Lutheran Church and serves as the women's choir repertoire and standard chair for the Iowa Choral Directors Association.
Watson (left), who came to Morningside in 2003, was previously a vocal music instructor at Le Mars Community Schools in Iowa, where he also served in an administrative position as music coordinator of the school district's music department. Watson holds a master of music degree in vocal performance from the University of South Dakota and a bachelor of arts degree in music education with an emphasis in vocal from Luther College, Decorah, Iowa.

Gwinnett Daily Post
The city of Lawrenceville kicked off the holiday season Thanksgiving night with its annual tree lighting ceremony, and Snellville continued the celebration by lighting its own tree on Saturday. This week the chance to get into the spirit of the season continues, with Suwanee hosting an event Friday night along with events in Duluth, Buford, Lilburn and Sugar Hill on Saturday.
While Gwinnett's local cities are doing their part to celebrate the season, the Daily Post is as well. The paper has long had the tradition of hosting military bands for a concert during Memorial Day weekend, and this year we are adding another musical salute, this one with a festive holiday flair.
On Dec. 10, the Daily Post is hosting the Band of the U.S. Air Force Reserve at the Long Forum at Greater Atlanta Christian School in Norcross. The concert is part of the band's Holiday Tour, and the music will coincide with the season. It's on a Monday night, a nice time to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season and relax with some great music. And with free admission, the price is better than anything you were able to get on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
"It's a great way for a community newspaper to give back to its community," Daily Post Publisher J.K. Murphy said. "Over the past several years we have hosted dozens of these concerts, but we've never hosted a holiday show. This will be different. It will be a lot of fun."
The concert, which starts at 7 p.m., is free but does require a ticket. Tickets can be obtained by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to: P.O. Box 603, Lawrenceville, GA, 30046; or by stopping by the Daily Post during business hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. There is a limit of four tickets per request.
The Band of the U.S. Air Force Reserve is the oldest band, active or reserve, assigned to the Air Force. It's made up of about 45 professional, full-time musicians and has performed at many major events, including the Daytona 500 and the Rose Bowl Parade.
During the event, canned goods will be collected as part of the Holtkamp Heating and Air Can Challenge. The food will then be distributed to co-ops across Gwinnett County.
It's a great chance to hear some festive music, our gift to you, and to help out those less fortunate with your gift of a canned food donation. Just don't forget to secure your ticket to join us on Dec. 10.
Email Todd Cline at firstname.lastname@example.com. His column appears on Wednesdays.

One local landmark, St. David's Church, has a tower of honey-gold ashlar. This town of about 3,500 also possesses one of the last remaining curfew towers, dated 1633; curfew dates to the time of the Norman Conquest, when a bell was rung to "cover-fire" for the night against any invaders.
