Hello all, I am thinking about renting a plot from the community garden. I do have my own veggie beds, but they do not get the best, consistent light in the fall (our second growing season here in Florida) and I thought it would make a nice overflow garden in the spring with big things like tomatoes and squash that I haven't had the best luck with in my small garden. The organization provides a plot, soil, mulch and water (drip irrigation on a timer) in a fenced (locked) property. I think it sounds like an amazing and inexpensive way to get a little more production out of my garden, I do have some questions about it from those who have participated in community gardens: 1) How often do you need to go after the initial planting? I baby my own garden, but I don't have the water on a timer. Do you think 1x a week during the growing season and 2-3x during harvest would be sufficient? 2) Have you experienced theft in locked gardens? I am a little nervous about putting a ton of work into my garden only to have the "fruits" of my labor taken when ripe! |

1) it depends. My CG is at the Ames/TrueTemper QH and there is quite a few weeds. I have to go 3 times a week to keep the bind weed in check. I need to figure out how to keep my 84 year old Father from roto-tilling the heck out of it every spring, chopping all the bindweed roots into 6 billion new plants! 2)Ours is not locked, but the plant is open 24/7 and the parking lot and garden is under video surveillance. I'm sure there is a bit of snitching that goes on, I'd be lying if I said I never snuck a strawberry or two, but nobody has ever been cleaned out,that I'm aware of. |

Very nice! Looks like the original artist's tumblr is over here: http://toomiro.tumblr.com/
No sorry, it's still really weird. The model is still way too lumpy and uneven all over the place. You need to go back an work at lower level form then worry about refining fine details like skin...
Very nice flat shading look, I love this! But that clay render of her smiling is utterly terrifying, hahah!
A pretty good walkthrough of building stuff up from reference. Was part 3 meant to be silent?
Hahah, yeah just have a browse through this very forum and look at the amount of superhero stuff on here. It's pretty easy to just glaze over and just pass over the 500th Wolverine or Batman model...
Very nice work. Whenever Warframe shows up on the Steam store, it really does stand out just because it's got its own distinctive visual style and it's nice seeing how it's developed!
It's so weird seeing such high poly models being projected back onto such low poly meshes!
Interesting! Are the wax parts fused together to form a single piece, or are the bronze pieces joined after casting?
Elegant as always, though I'm still trying to make up my mind about the changes you've done to your skin material this time. Everyone looks so sweaty!
Looks really great! The only thing I could recommend would be a bit more subsurface scattering on the young leaves. They look really dense and opaque at the moment.
Very nice work there. How do these compare to other miniature games so we can get a sense of scale here?
Cheers for the videos. The noise brushes are especially interesting since I didnt use them much. A pity you have to rotate the model if you want it to be stamped on properly though. It would be great...
Great stuff! You dont usually see painterly looking 3d models, but there you go!
Echoing that I would really like to see a breakdown and maybe even a turntable. I'm having real trouble visualizing these as 3d at all!
Looks really nice. The materials really pop! The neck bothers me though, it seems to be missing subtle tensions in the neck when you're facing to the side like that.
The lips in the second to last picture just look really weird with that seam around them. Was that intentional?
Veeeery nice. Are you thinking of maybe putting the model up on something like Shapeways so people can buy it?
Wow, very nice and atmospheric piece you've created! So was it only modelled in ZBrush then rendered/composited elsewhere?
Agreed! This is a pretty great model and the workflow graphic was very helpful. Nice to see a different take on its colouring. The only nitpick I'd have is that its teeth are really, really clean...
The sculpt looks really great! Nice sense of bulk and mass with him. I've to say the materials/texturing could do with more work though. From the front he's almost a solid mass of the same material,...
Nice! Looks like the larger woodgrain detail came through, even under the coat of paint.
Interesting stuff here. How well did the woodgrain detail come out on the print? Its hard to see if it did or not with the plastic material in the photo.
Really nice work! The detailing on the armor, the cheeky smirk, the characters all work together really well. The only thing I'd suggest is that the lizard's pupils arent really apparent from the...
Man, that blue demon looks really great. Got any more shots of it during the work in progress, or breakdowns of the model? How'd you go about placing the layered scale armor bits?

I have been working at Guardian Industries full-time (more than 3 years)
401k. Benefits are pretty good.
Open door communication policy exisit on paper. Managers do not care or are too consumed with other properties, like the next meeting. Take care of your true #1 asset, your people.
Listen to your employees. Why pay for surveys to get a feel for your plant and then do nothing about it. More time is spent in meetings and less time is spent actually improving things. Things will not improve until the right management takes over. One that actually cares!

"Good if used as a stepping stone "

I worked at Guardian Industries full-time (more than an year)
ProsThe Floreffe facility is very flawed for several different reason but its weaknesses can create great opportunity for some. Their unjustifiable polices on pay increases creates a revolving door of people, which can result in opportunity that wouldn't come at other companies. Guardian has a policy, which they not only admit to but actually brag about, in which they say "we don't pay the position, we pay the person." All that this means is that when you get a promotion, you don't get a raise. They will claim that once you prove yourself in the new job, the money will come..... but it never does. As a result qualified people who have moved up, quickly get frustrated for being under paid and leave to go to other companies. This then forces Guardian to promote people who are not as qualified but are willing to be under paid for the opportunity. However, once these people get some experience they become more valuable and are able to get better paying jobs at other companies. Then the cycle repeats.
While this is a terrible strategy for being a successful company, it create opportunity to quickly move up and then get a much better job at another company once you get the experience you wouldn't get at a work place with stability. The lower line supervisor is the best for this if you are starting with little to no experience. The job is absolutely terrible, but the turnover is so high that there are always openings. If you can stick it out for a year it will pretty much be guaranteed that a shift manager position will open up, as these have very high turnover as well. At other manufacturing facilities it can take 10 years or more to get a shift manager spot where as at Floreffe, most have only worked there for 1-3 years. From this point you either see if something higher up opens up, or just get a great manager job at another company making 50% more money. It literally happens 2-3 times a year.
The turnover goes all the way up the ladder too. In the last 3 years there have been 4 Hot end managers, 3 production managers, 4 sales managers, 3 HR managers and 2 plant managers. These are the highest positions in the plant....ConsOpportunity is only there for managers and supervisors. If you are an hourly employee, run for the hills. It is a terrible work environment and chances are you will only stay there for a couple years. The same goes for engineers. There is very little opportunity for them to move up and they never stay with the company over 2 years. In fact 2 were hired out of Penn St and both quit in under a year.
Make sure you negotiate a good starting salary because you will be stuck at this number until you quit. The job is also dangerous and everything in the plant is old and breaks down. Last year a guy lost his leg, and another got lung damage so bad he will never work again. If you work here, always keep it in the back of your mind that it is just a stepping stone. If you are looking for anything else, you will be disappointed.Advice to ManagementAdviceI can't say much as I did what they all do. Use Guardian as a place to build the resume, then cash in at another company.

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at Humana.
Interview DetailsSubmitted online application with resume. Was called by recruiter in few days. She then set up face to face interview with manager and supervisor. I was nervous about the interview and the type of questions...tell me about a time when you were faced with a very stressful time and how did you handle it and the outcome...where do you see yourself in 5 years. After the first 2 questions, the manager tossed the papers in the air and oh heck with that, tell me what you know and your experience. I was immediately with way less stress. The manager and the supervisor were friendly to each other and in turn, they were friendly to me. I was told I'd hear from HR in a few days and I received an offer by late afternoon.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Humana in January 2015.
Interview DetailsSent resume to Career Builder and heard back from a recruiter within 2 weeks requested a phone interview. Phone interview was scheduled for the next week and was easily scheduled through an e-mail link. The recruiter called right on time and asked basic questions about my resume, education, experience and then asked 3 behavioral questions. The interview lasted about 20 minutes and at the end, she invited me to do a Montage video interview which she then scheduled.
The e-mail for the video interview was very detailed and described how one should answer the behavioral questions and some example questions that could be asked. Make sure you review the questions and have some answers written down or memorized before your interview. The video interview link was easy to access and you must call into a conference line before your interview. The interview was done with two health coaches who were very personable. My internet connection went out twice and we continued on with the interview with the conference line until the connection went back up. They understood and were very understanding when that happened. The questions were all behavioral (tell me a time when.....) and the interview lasted about 45 minutes.Interview Questions- The questions were not necessarily difficult, however you must be able to quickly remember a situation or scenario that happened. Make sure you explain your situation as they may ask follow-up questions. Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsNo negotiation. The HR recruiter called with my offer and explained that they use a algorithm to decide what the salary is based on after looking at your experience, education, and projected business need.

It was followed up with an email confirming what had been discussed and giving contact information in regards to the in person interview set up on the January 9th.
On the day of my in person interview only one of the managers was able to attend, and due to complications wound up showing up at the appointed time rather than early, however it went extremely well.
I received a phone call back less than a week later on the 15th with a message that Humana wished to offer the position to me and wished to discuss my start date, on the 16th the offer was officially given and accepted, start date set for February.Interview Questions- Most of the questions were pretty standard nothing surprising or difficult, most about your experience and how you would handle certain situations.

This textbook is intended to be used in a lecture course for college students majoring in the Earth Sciences. Planetary Science provides an opportunity for these students to apply a wide range of subject matter pertaining to the Earth to the study of other planets of the solar system and their principal satellites. As a result, students gain a wider perspective of the different worlds that are accessible to us and they are led to recognize the Earth as the only oasis in space where we can live without life-support systems.
The subject matter is presented in 24 chapters that lead the reader through the solar system starting with historical perspectives on space exploration and the development of the scientific method. The presentations concerning the planets and their satellites emphasize that their origin and subsequent evolution can be explained by applications of certain basic principles of physics, chemistry, and celestial mechanics and that the surface features of the solid bodies in the solar system can be interpreted by means of the principles of geology.

Returning to work within weeks after giving birth is now increasingly common among corporate high-fliers. So where does that leave all the other women for whom maternity leave is a necessity and not a luxury, asks Suzanne Harrington
On October 1, the boss of Yahoo became a parent. On October 25, the same boss posted a photograph of a business deal on Twitter.
The photo was subsequently picked up by a British newspaper, who ran a story around the boss's appearance.
Why? Because the boss of Yahoo is a woman, and the fact that she appeared physically slim in the picture was deemed newsworthy.
"Wearing a blue striped dress, she showed off an impressively slender waist that other new mothers are sure to envy," one newspaper reported.
Never mind the 37-year-old CEO's latest business acquisition -- look at her body. Judge and compare.
Marissa Mayer, the Yahoo boss, had a baby son at the start of the month. It is not her waist, however, which is of interest, but her statement to 'Fortune' magazine, before she gave birth: "My maternity leave will be a few weeks long and I'll work throughout it."
Here is a super-successful woman who appears to misunderstand the meaning of 'leave'; being on leave means not working. Why is she not taking any?
Journalist Kristie Lu Stout of CNN International, who also has one child, wrote an open letter to Mayer, in reaction to Mayer's decision to work through her maternity leave.
"Like other working moms, I kind of wish you didn't say that... but I can see why you did," she wrote.
"You want to prove yourself. You want to hit the ground running and keep up the sprint even through the so-called fourth trimester.
"But maternity leave is not a vacation or a cop-out from your new post. It's the first precious weeks to invest in a being who is completely dependent on you."
Commonsense appeal to Mayer not to sacrifice bonding with her baby, or passive-aggressive judgement call?
Both are successful 37-year-old San Franciscans at the top of their game, with one child each. Were they both men, would such a letter ever have been written? Of course not.
"Society was willing to overlook the fact that women were NOT men and nonetheless permit them to reach higher rungs on the career ladder -- rungs that had always been reserved exclusively for men -- provided that these women at least acted like men in certain key ways," writes Pesoli.
"Men don't give birth. Men don't take maternity leave. Men don't pump breast milk. Men don't stay home when their kids are sick.
"In short, if women wanted to have careers similar to the ones men have always enjoyed, women were expected to act like men. A fair number of women accepted these terms and some moved into key positions as a result."

NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Agricultural Robots: Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2014 to 2020
WinterGreen Research announces that it has published a new study Agricultural Robots Market Shares, Strategy, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2014 to 2020. The 2014 study has 430 pages, 236 tables and figures. Worldwide markets are poised to achieve significant growth as the agricultural robots are used in every aspect of farming, milking, food production, and animal control to implement automated process for the industry.
Weed control is able to achieve crop-yield increases. Robot technology is deploying machines for weed control, promising to improve crop yields. Robots make the crops safer by eliminating or virtually eliminating herbicides. Downstream processing system solutions and robots achieve automation of process. Robots meet stringent hygiene and safety regulations, work tirelessly 24 hours a day, and relieve human workers of physically arduous tasks. Robots contribute to the freshness, variety and quality of food. Projects are ongoing.
High value crops are a target of agricultural robotic development. What could be tastier than a strawberry, perfectly formed, and perfectly ripened? New agricultural robots are able to improve the delivery of consistent quality food, and to implement efficiency in managing food production.
Strawberries are a high profit crop. A new generation of machines has just been born. Strawberry Harvesters with the world's most advanced technology to give maximum performance to a farm. Harvesting robots can optimize the productivity of the farming business. Growers can get the best results in a berry farm using automated process. Automated picking collection systems improve labor productivity, give speed and agility to harvest operations.
The robotic platforms are capable of site-specific spraying. This is targeted spraying only on foliage and selected targets. It can be used for selective harvesting of fruit. The robots detect the fruit, sense its ripeness, then move to grasp and softly detach only ripe fruit.
Agricultural robots address automation of process for agribusiness. The challenge being addressed is to guide farmers towards a new economic model. The aim is to meet demands of a global market. Harvesting is one benefit. Crop-yield increases come from weed control. Robot technology is deploying its machines for weed control, promising to improve crop yields. Robots make the crops safer by eliminating or virtually eliminating herbicides.
Machinery manufacturers and downstream processing industries look for system solutions and robots to achieve automation of process. Robots meet stringent hygiene and safety regulations, work tirelessly 24 hours a day, and relieve human workers of physically arduous tasks. Robots contribute to the freshness, variety and quality of food.
According to Susan Eustis, principal author of the market research study, "Agricultural robotic projects are ongoing. The key to industrial farm robots is keeping costs down. Adapting existing commercial vehicles instead of building new ones is the best way to build viable agricultural robots."
Agricultural robot market size at $817 million in 2013 are anticipated to reach $16.3 billion by 2020, a hefty growth for a nascent market. Agricultural robots are but part of an overall trend toward more automated process for every type of human endeavor. Robots are being used more widely than expected in a variety of sectors, and the trend is likely to continue with robotics becoming as ubiquitous as computer technology over the next 15 years.

Wearable devices have come of age. The primary applications of wearables so far have been "the Quantified Self" or the tracking of one's fitness and health status. We propose the evolution of wearables into social and emotional communication devices. Our BE(tm) sensor uses light to visualize the skin conductance response. Our sensors are very inexpensive and can be massively distributed to audiences or groups of any size, in order to gauge reactions to performances, video, or any kind of presentation.

By Elizabeth White The Internet of Things is a misnomer. That implies that everything is on the Internet, and that simply should not be - especially for things that are blurring the line between medical devices that stimulate like a pacemaker and quantified self-sensors like a pedometer or pulse tracker.

Source: Bulletstorm's product disclosure page.
What we heard: Ubisoft has decided to drop its embattled digital rights management system for some of its upcoming games, but Electronic Arts--which has been sued for DRM issues--is heading the other direction with its latest shooter, according to product listings.
Digital copies of the PC iteration of People Can Fly's first-person shooter/kicker Bulletstorm will require a persistent Internet connection for the game to run, according to the above source. "Persistent Internet connection and acceptance of end user license agreement required to play," reads the product disclosure for Bulletstorm's digital iteration.
Packaged copies of the title will be treated differently, as they will only require an Internet connection to "authenticate and access online features and/or services."
The official story: Bulletstorm lead producer Tanya Jessen said, via Twitter, that the former listing is inaccurate.
"I can confirm that the only time you will need an Internet connection for Bulletstorm will be on install and when playing mp (multiplayer) - no worries," reads the message.
Jessen also told GameSpot that EA is working to "ensure there's no more confusion about the topic."
Bogus or not bogus?: Certainly plausible that EA would require a constant Internet connection as a digital rights management system. However, given Jessen's direct refutation of the issue, this story seems more bogus than not.
For more on the upcoming shooter--due out on February 22 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC--check out GameSpot's latest preview of Bulletstorm.

Peace Be Upon You: Fourteen Centuries of Muslim, Christian, and Jewish Conflict and Cooperation (Google eBook)In a narrative that is at once thoughtful and passionate, hopeful but without illusions, award-winning historian Zachary Karabell reveals the history of peaceful coexistence among Muslims, Christians, and Jews over the course of fourteen centuries until the present-day. The harsh reality of religious conflict is daily news, and the rising tensions between the West and Islam show no signs of abating. However, the relationship between Muslims, Christians, and Jews has not always been marked with animosity; there is also a deep and nuanced history of peace. From the court of caliphs in ancient Baghdad, where scholars engaged in spirited debate, to present-day Dubai, where members of each faith work side by side, Karabell traces the forgotten legacy of tolerance and cooperation these three monotheistic religions have enjoyed—a legacy that will be vital in any attempt to find common ground and reestablish peace.

Apple to sell record 2 million Macs this quarter, says firm
With Apple having announced its new iMac line on Tuesday, analysts for RBC Capital Markets say they're confident the company will ship a record 2 million Mac systems during the current quarter ending September."Updated iMacs further affirm our outlook for stronger Mac/iPhone momentum [over the next two quarters], based on forecasts from RBC's Technology Adoption Panel, with 2.0 million Macs expected [during the current September quarter]," lead analyst Mike Abramsky told clients in a research note Wednesday.
For Apple, such sales would represent a more than two-fold increase in fiscal fourth quarter Mac sales over the same period just three years ago. During the September quarter of 2004, the Cupertino-based firm managed to sell just over 800,000 systems, which pales in comparison its current momentum in the PC business.
In speaking to clients, Abramsky said he expects the Mac maker's worldwide share of the personal computer market to rise from 2.4 percent to 3.3 percent by the end of next year, adding that each 0.25 percent of share increase would equate to approximately $700 million in additional quarterly revenue (or $0.11 per share).
Combined with the ongoing iPhone publicity and its 'iPod with a Mac' promotion, the analyst contended that Apple's latest round of iMacs and consumer-oriented media software also signal a "strong push" against longtime rival Microsoft during the back-to-school buying season.
"Apple's iMac update targets the sole of the home and student market, a key battleground for Microsoft switchers, and potential subsequent premium upgraders," he wrote.
In his note to clients Wednesday, the RBC analyst also reported on his latest round of Apple and AT&T retail checks, which "suggests that iPhone demand/sales momentum remains steady."
"We are reiterating our iPhone outlook for 13.4 million units [by the end of 2008]," he wrote.
RBC Capital Markets also reiterated its Outperform rating and $175 price target on shares of Apple.
On Topic: Investor
- Carl Icahn says Apple is still undervalued, plans to increase his $203 price target

Earlier this year, Capcom announced the expansion of its casual gaming arm with the launch of Beeline, a new publishing brand focused on microtransaction-driven games for smartphones.
At the time, it was revealed that Beeline was working on eight titles planned for release by March 2012, but no further details were given. Now, it appears that Capcom is ready to divulge at least part of its plans, today announcing four of its upcoming Beeline titles.
The first title will be based on a licensing agreement deal between the Japanese publisher and Peanuts Worldwide LLC, the company that owns the characters and related intellectual property of the popular Charles M Schulz comic strip.
Capcom has announced that the partnership will lead to the global distribution of social games that use Snoopy and his friends, with the first game--tentatively titled "Snoopy"--planned for release in spring this year on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
The remaining three titles will also make their way onto the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch in the second quarter of the publisher's current fiscal year and are listed as: Smurfs' Grabber (August 2011), Dream Park (August 2011), and Monster Pet Shop (September 2011).

As always, it really bugs me that Anna Gunn was not nominated when her work was more outstanding than it has ever been this season, and it's always been phenomenal. Betsy Brandt or Dean Norris as Hank and Marie also would be great supporting noms, as would my fave new character of 2012, Laura Fraser as Lydia. Skyler, Marie and Lydia are some of the best female characters on TV. Also Parks and Recs with no comedy nomination is of course a huge and ridiculous snub; every character on that show deserves an award.
