Ok This is my first post in Fan Art I hope I have Attached this image correctly! About a month ago I bought a Wacom Intuos5 and been wanting to get back to my art. I really love Lux as one of my main Champs and felt she would be a awesome champ to sport in the PulseFire armor, so I came up with this design. This has about a good 20 hours into it, since it is my first time painting with a tablet. It also has many revision and different backgrounds. I can post the other is needed. At this time I wanted to get your feed back on the image where it stands now. I will keep working it till it is done and post a final. I know I need to fix the face, eyes, and hair still. That is where I started and I feel I could do better now that I have put in hours with the tablet. Thanks! UPDATE: Added ruffed in PulsFire EZ getting blown back! what you think? I will be putting more work into it I just wanted some feedback. UPDATE(11/16/2012): Cleaned up Ezeral a little bit, I am getting tired of working on this image so I might call it done for now and come back to it!
Wow. Really nice. Make this happen Riot! I love Kayle and Blitzcrank, I dunno how a Pulsefire Kayle and Blitz would work though lol.
Really impressive for your first time painting with a tablet! Pulsefire Lux seems to be a popular concept and I can see it working well for her. I like most parts of your design and the whole feeling in general! What I don't really like are the bare armpits (doesn't fit with the moderately armored general design in my opinion), belt buckle and the designs on her breasts, but those are just personal taste. In terms of feedback, I feel her left leg looks bent forward (towards the viewer) after the bootcap, you could either try shading it a bit differently or turning it a bit more. The left arm and right boot have similar problems where the design doesn't look like it follows the body underneath correctly. While you can attribute those to the armor potentially, I think you could shade the crook of the arm a bit differently and just move the midpoint of the boot design slightly to fix those. Again, I'm really impressed by this as your first digital drawing, and I hope you can find some use from this attempted feedback :P The staff design is especially cool!
Thank you, both of you I enjoy your feedback. Bot Tower, After looking at it more I do see what you mean. I think I am scared to try and redo to much of it, but I will mess around on different layers and see how it turns out. As it is my first full digital drawing, I did mess around a bit with small scale drawing before going all out on this one. I also went to college for graphic design, website design, and do drawing and painting on the side as hobby. I always wanted to bring it to the digital side and finally made that jump. My art has always been more cartoon-like style, so my human body figures and poses defiantly need some work. This pose I have Lux in, is from some similar poses when I did some research to help spark some ideas. I will take your advise and see what I can do! I also think Lux would make a great champ for the PulsFire most of her abilities could be styled to follow the theme. I might even try drawing the 3 stages, but in more of a mock up and not as detailed. I think the first thing I am going to try and change is the armor around her upper cheats, and I might bring the blue under armor up to her neck and this would fix your armpit issue. I guess I was trying to keep the *** factor that seems to tag along with female champs lol!

Pulsefire ... ergh. Not original enough, in my opinion. She deserves something unique.
Support Chen
Damn that looks nice on Lux!
Best Fizz EU
That looks awesome! If only Riot would make a skin out of that...
Thank you guys! And to Alice Kirisame, I understand it not the most original idea. I agree Lux needs a better skin and PulseFire may not be the answer. I just really like the idea of the theme and how it works in the game and i feel it fits her well. For later Projects I will do more original ideas. I had to do this one first while it was on my mind.
Frost Archer
Thing is, I love Lux (NO! not that way you louts -.-) but looking at the price for pulse fire ez is CRAZY. even so, if this were real, than it would be the best skin for her Good Job!
Yea it is a bit pricy but I'd have to get it for lux lol. I hope I get some time to work on it today and ill upload update!

Kimberly-Clark has introduced Scott Naturals Tube-Free bathroom tissue, which the company said is the nation's first toilet paper without the cardboard tube for use at home.
Supplier News Breaks
DALLAS – Kimberly-Clark has introduced Scott Naturals Tube-Free bathroom tissue, which the company said is the nation's first toilet paper without the cardboard tube for use at home.
The eco-friendly product removes the cardboard tube that has been the central fixture of rolled toilet paper for more than 100 years, a simple step with major potential to eliminate millions of pounds of material from the waste stream, according to Kimberly-Clark.
Scott Naturals Tube-Free bathroom tissue is easily placed on a regular tissue spindle and dispenses the same way as traditional toilet paper, the company said, adding that the product will be priced the same as current Scott Naturals bath tissue with the tube.
Currently, Scott Naturals Tube-Free bath tissue is being tested at select Walmart and Sam's Club stores in the Northeast. Kimberly-Clark said the market test will be supported by a comprehensive marketing campaign including television advertising, a partnership with MeetUp.com, free-standing inserts, direct mail, in-store marketing and product demonstrations.
"The Scott brand was the first to put bath tissue on a cardboard tube — and is now the first brand to eliminate the tube," commented Doug Daniels, brand manager of strategy and innovation for the Scott brand. "Scott Naturals Tube-Free bath tissue performs as well as traditional rolled toilet paper while reducing material in the waste stream."
U.S. households use an estimated 17 billion bath tissue tubes annually, equivalent to 160 million pounds of waste, equal to the weight of more than 250 Boeing 747 airliners, Kimberly-Clark reported. The cardboard tubes can be recycled but often are not. In fact, in a survey of about 1,000 adults by Scott Naturals, over 85% said that they throw it out with the trash most often.
"By eliminating the tube, we are making it easy for consumers to help tangibly improve the environment, without compromising on product quality or performance," Daniels stated. "We know that it all adds up, and we're helping our consumers make a positive impact."
Kimberly-Clark noted that Scott Naturals Tube-Free builds on the 2009 introduction of the Scott Naturals "green" line of bathroom tissue, towels, flushable moist wipes and napkins.
"Scott Naturals Tube-Free bath tissue is another example of an item that helps Walmart move closer to its goal of selling products that sustain people and the environment," commented Al Dominguez, vice president of household chemicals and paper goods at Walmart.
Jill Turner-Mitchael, senior vice president of health and wellness for Sam's Club, stated, "We are pleased we could work with the Kimberly-Clark team on the development of the new Scott Naturals Tube-Free bath tissue as part of our effort to make the products we offer more environmentally sustainable."

PHOENIX-- Residents of the Bella Norte apartment complex in Phoenix say this is not the first time they have noticed injuries to a little girl who lives there.
That 4-year-old girl is currently in extremely critical condition after police say she was beaten and it was discovered that she had injuries "basically from head to foot," according to Sgt. Tommy Thompson. of the Phoenix Police Department.
Ashley Buckman and her live in boyfriend James Edwards, both 22, were both arrested and booked on several counts each of child abuse and failure to protect a child.
Police believe this to be a case of ongoing abuse. Most recently, the child apparently soiled her bed and her mother beat and slapped her, which caused her to stop breathing.
When emergency crews arrived, they found the child unconscious.
Ashton Robinson, who lives two doors down from Buckman and Edwards watched as emergency crews broke down the door and Edwards came outside.
"I heard him really frantic, kind of emotional, but he was saying he had no idea what was going on," Robinson said. "He put the baby to sleep and next thing you know it wasn't breathing."
Police back up that story. According to Thompson, Buckman and Edwards initially lied to police about what had happened to the little girl and then "began to minimize the effects" as officers learned the facts.
The 4-year-old had cuts and bruises, whip marks possibly made a coat hanger, and what appeared to be scald marks.
"Because of the nature of the marks, it appears the child was intentionally scalded with hot water in the bathtub," Thompson said.
Neighbors say this is not the first time they have seen this child with injuries.
"I did see her in a cast last year," said neighbor Thasha Mercer of the little girl.
Detectives are calling this case one of the most egregious cases of child abuse they have ever seen.
Buckman and Edwards have a 1-year-old child, who is now in the custody of Child Protective Services. Police say there are no apparent signs of child abuse involving the 1- year-old.
"They need to go to jail and have the same thing happen to them," Mercer said.
Neither Buckman nor Edwards gave a comment to 3TV as they were escorted by police to the Fourth Avenue Jail.

I've already submitted it but I was wondering what you guy's/gals think =] ?
From clearing sun showers to raging hailstorms
Spectrum-painted skies
To a barrage of icey bullets.
And I sit.
Dampened earth below my feet trembling
Cracks of lightning flash across the sky
In one short moment
The silhouettes of the world.
Each droplet of water
Striking my cheek
Soaking deep into my outer layers
Each droplet is a word
Fag, queer, dyke
The constant patter of a storm
An unstoppable force of human nature.
And I sit
As the words sink in
Soaking through my shirt, my skin
I gaze up at the clouds which unleashed them
If this is nature
I am not natural.
Each piece of ice
Striking my cheek
Battering and pushing to my inners
Each shard of ice is a fist
Jab, cross, jab
The constant batter of a storm
An unstoppable force of human nature
And I sit.
As the fists swing
Striking my jaw, my side
I shut my eyes and collapse to the earth that birthed me
if this is nature
I am not natural
I sit
I do not rain
I do not hail
I do not speak
I do not strike
I sit.

Review: Funny Movie Maker - Replace Your Face is short on features
Expect to pay to unlock more features with this fun app.
Funny Movie Maker - Replace Your Face lets you create funny videos by replacing or adding your own mouth and voice to pictures. The app was put on this earth to entertain and it succeeds; however, you're limited to only three pictures and certain features in the free version. To unlock the other faces and features, you'll have to pay.
Funny Movie Maker opens with three unlocked faces: a blonde who is missing a face, a strawberry with eyes, and a picture of Benjamin Franklin. Like we mentioned earlier, if you want to use another template, you'll have to pony up the change to unlock the images. Luckily, though, you can add your own pictures by snapping a new picture or pulling one from your Camera Roll. We selected the picture of the blonde and, using the scissors tool, cut out a circle where her blurred face was. We tried to add music from our iTunes library and special effects, but were told that we'd have to pay to get those features. So, without anything else to add, we tapped the check mark. From there, the app tapped into our iPhone's video capability and our face appeared in the circle we cut out earlier. After making a few funny faces, we previewed our masterpiece. We're probably not ready for an open mic night at the comedy club, but the final result was pretty funny. If you like what you see, you can choose to save the photo, upload it to YouTube or Facebook, or send it to a friend via e-mail.
Funny Movie Maker - Replace Your Face is a fun app, but we just wish it offered more features in the free version. Still, we recommend it for anyone looking for a silly app to entertain friends.

Calphalon Katana Series 7" Santoku Knife
- Item No Longer Available
- Combining features of a chef's knife and a cleaver, the Santoku is an all-purpose knife that's ideal for cutting meat, fish and vegetables. The word santoku means "three good things" – a reference to the three cutting tasks it performs so well: slicing, dicing and mincing. The kullens along the edge help reduce friction, which prevents food from sticking.
3 ways to use knife: cut meat, slice fish, chop vegetables - Katana Series' time-honored layering process not only imparts exceptional sharpness, but allows the blade to retain its edge longer for enduring high performance results.
- Damascus style blade clad with 33 stainless steel layers for distinctive style, exceptional rigidity and rust resistance.
- Ergonomic poly-resign handle is contoured for comfort and well balanced for control and precision.
- Integrated bolster design provides a secure, comfortable grip and offers increased control.
- Lifetime warranty.
- Traditional blade shapes enhanced for ease of use and precision.
- VG-1 Japanese steel for exceptional sharpness and ultimate edge retention.
- Will not chip, crack or peel.
- Winner of the 26 Housewares Design Award for innovative design in cutlery.
I bought this knife since it was so light weight and super sharp. I use this for all of our cutting needs and it hasn't let us down yet. In fact, I'm buying more of this line today we love the two we bought so much.
- Yes,
- I recommend this product.
Best buy, by far...
As a cooking instructor, I recommend the Katana Series to my students. For the money, it has my vote as the knifes to get for the home cook. As everyone should know, all knives get dull. With the Katana series and a good wet stone, an indiviual can easly learn to sharpen with a streight, point to hilt edge. My only complant is, why not more styles? I have had my set for years and you can only get the 4 or so individual knives. Chef Jeff Y. Canfield, Ohio
- Yes,
- I recommend this product.
It's questionable
Purchased our second santoku knife before christmas after 4 uses there were visible signs of chips on the blade. Bed bath and beyond happily exchanged it. I will have to start doing visual inspections on our other 3 knives now because of this.
- Yes,
- I recommend this product.
My hands-down favorite knife!
This is the most used knife in my block (if you don't count the butcher knife that my husband uses to open bags). I have had it for 2 years and it is still super sharp. The only problem that I have had with it is the fact that if I cut something juicy and let the knife set for any amount of time, it starts to pit and rust. But, if you can wash an dry it right away, it will serve you well.
- Yes,
- I recommend this product.

Organic whole food supplements are a necessity if we are looking for a strong immune system and vibrant health.
Unfortunately, traditional farming practices have stripped away most of our soil's nutrients, leaving the food supply (and us) deficient in many critical nutrients.
Supplementation becomes even more important if you consume a lot of pre-packaged, highly processed foods that offer little nutrient value.
Even organic foods have less nutrition that they used to. So even if you are eating whole foods that come from organic sources, you still might be deficient in critical nutrients.
But just any old supplement won't do.
Many vitamin and mineral supplements are made from synthetic chemical isolates - some of which are difficult for our bodies to use.
A good example of this is zinc. Zinc oxide is probably one of the most common forms of zinc found in supplements. It is cheap to make and fairly stable, but our bodies have a hard time absorbing it.
Another example is vitamin D. There are two sources of vitamin D you'll find in supplements - ergocalciferol (also called vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (also called vitamin D3). Vitamin D2 is foreign to the human body. It is only about half as effective as Vitamin D3 yet has much greater chance of toxicity, especially at the higher dosages required to improve vitamin D levels.
That same can be said of some other synthetic vitamins and minerals. Although, to be fair, by no means all.
I use and recommend the brand New Chapter because they are committed to doing right by their customers.
Their products are made from organic, whole food ingredients that are grown and harvested in a sustainable way. They are one of the few supplement companies that have taken a strong stand against GMO's.
They have many products, but here are their one-a-day multi vitamins with minerals and herbs (women's and men's formulas).

Allen West 4 Prez 2012: Conservatives Turn Up the Volume on This Possibility
Categories: Politics
via Facebook |
Congressman-elect West already has the trump card of all conservative endorsements -- Sarah Palin. And if West is doing anything, he's going rogue with his polarizing beliefs ("This is not a perversion. They are doing exactly what this book says."). But what if Palin runs for president too? Could this end up as a Palin/West or West/Palin ticket? OK, OK we're getting ahead of ourselves.
There is already a Facebook page, Allen West for President, and it is populated by more than 1,500 people, many of whom fanatically worship this man. Even the British press is weighing in on West's possible presidential run. And the conservative bloggers who make up his fan base are already a dime a dozen.
Plus, West is an African-American Republican, which could be a viable combination with liberal minority votes from the multitudes disenchanted with the status quo, plus the obvious conservative votes.
West is a convincing speaker, and he's smart and thorough -- he talks like a human history book. Yet the implications of his eloquent arguments are questionable. Here are a few things we would like West to answer to ease (and hopefully not multiply) our anxiety-ridden curiosity -- especially before this presidency rumor spreads even wider.
What would "trend analysis," AKA racial profiling, look like in action?
What would tighter border control look like? Would it apply to Canada too -- or only Mexico?
Will the way West took war interrogation tactics into his own hands translate to the way he operates as a political leader?

Environmental, Labor Concerns Overlooked in Rush to Build Caracol Park |
Friday, 06 July 2012 15:15 |
The first of two installments looking at the New York Times in depth investigation into the Caracol industrial park. Part two will be posted shortly. Two and a half years after the earthquake, Haiti remains mired in a humanitarian crisis, with 390,000 people languishing in tents. Yet the showcase project of the reconstruction effort is this: an industrial park that will create jobs and housing in an area undamaged by the temblor, a venture that risks benefiting foreign companies more than Haiti itself. The park, whose main tenant Sae-A expects to generate some 20,000 jobs over the next six years, has been made possible by generous subsidies from the U.S. and Haitian governments and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). Sae-A officials were invited to the U.S. embassy in Seoul to meet with Secretary of State Clinton in 2010. One concern the company had at the time was "uncertainty about whether Haiti's minimum wage for textile workers, scheduled to increase to $5 from $3.75 a day this October, would continue to rise." Wikileaks cables later revealed that the U.S. embassy in Haiti, along with some multinational companies had "aggressively moved to block a minimum wage increase for Haitian assembly zone workers," according to The Nation. While the minimum wage has increased, 18 out of 20 factories monitored by the Better Work Haiti program were found to be non-compliant on the minimum wage in their most recent assessment published in April. By late summer, they were flying with their investment plan to Washington for a meeting with Mrs. Clinton and other international officials in a historic treaty-signing room on the State Department's seventh floor. While Sae-A originally estimated the project would create 3,000-4,000 jobs, American and international officials wanted more: "We would say, 'We could probably do a factory with about 3,000 to 4,000 people.' They're like, 'Wow. What would you need to make it bigger?' I [Lon Garwood, senior advisor to Sae-A] said, 'If we could get a loan for the machines, we could probably double that.' They said, 'What about 10,000?' We said, 'If we didn't have to worry about purchasing the land, if we didn't have to build the factory shells, then we could double it again.' That's where the 20,000 jobs figure came from." In the end, the land was provided free of charge by the Haitian government (evicting some 350 farmers in the process), the IDB agreed to provide $100 million to finance the building, while the U.S. would contribute $124 million for a power plant, housing and a port. Sae-A, which reported $1.1 billion in export business last year, only needs to invest $39.2 million. The $124 million provided by the U.S. is over a quarter of the money the U.S. earmarked for reconstruction.
"I think there was emotion within State that we haven't done anything effective in Haiti," said Cathy Feingold, international development director for the A.F.L.-C.I.O. "There was a guilty sense that we have to do something, anything. But doing it this way is not going to be helpful to Haitians. It's got to be done so there are living wages and the environment is healthy." Environmental, Social Concerns Overlooked The United States Treasury Department had concerns, too. Because an environmental impact study was not done properly or far enough in advance, the Treasury, which represents the United States on the development bank board, took the unusual step of abstaining from the vote that approved the $55 million grant to build the park. One person who was not consulted about the location was the mayor of Caracol, Landry Colas: "I would have chosen another site, given that this one was already occupied by people earning a living," he said. "But I'm no expert." Colas added, "Foreigners know more about what's going on in Caracol than I do." "When you look at the social problems that Cité Soleil poses today, you have to ask, did it have to be that way?" said Michèle Oriol, executive secretary of Haiti's Inter-ministerial Commission on Territorial Planning, which has objected to the park's location, and that of a U.S.-financed housing development just off the main commercial corridor. As part of the Caracol project, the U.S. government has signed contracts to build some 750 houses in the Caracol area, costing some $20 million. In comparison, as Sontag points out, the U.S. embassy in Haiti is building 86-100 townhouses complete with recreation facilities for up to $100 million. Additionally, the houses, while larger than originally planned due to community input, have been criticized as well. Sontag writes: Described by American officials as a cost-efficient use of space, the Caracol housing project is criticized as "extremely dense and monotonous" and "violating numerous principles inherent to sound urban design" by Greg Higgins, an architect who wrote a scathing peer review.Part two, detailing concerns about labor rights with Sae-A and other garment manufacturing companies in Haiti will be available shortly. |

*Phoenix Volume Two: Future — Recommended
Posted in Manga Reviews on August 9, 2007 by Johannaby Osamu Tezuka; translation by Jared Cook, Frederik L. Schodt, Shinji Sakamoto
published by Viz; $22.95 US
Review by Rob Vollmar
The second volume in the Phoenix cycle finds creator Osamu Tezuka switching gears from historical fantasy to science fiction. Where volume one's Dawn was very interested in the elements that came together to form civilization (at least the Japanese one), Future is more broad in its scope as it examines the likely causes behind its dissolution, a fate he finds inextricably linked to the destruction of humanity as a species.
"3404 AD. The Earth was rapidly dying." Tezuka's narrative begins thus, hanging ominously over a series of bleak landscapes, detailing the degradation above ground necessary to drive humanity underground for its terminal phase as a species. The final five million inhabitants of Earth populate five "great" cities and live in distinct monocultures carefully regulated by supercomputers. The first phase of the main narrative begins in one of these cities, Yamato.
It is instructive to note that while Future was completed after Dawn, Tezuka's art in the first half of the volume looks regressive in comparison. The stirring feats of naturalist drawings that flow from Dawn's historical setting can be read in context with a body of his middle period work that emphasizes illustrative over dutiful narrative drawings. Future begins in all-too-familiar territory, Tezuka's cartoony and crowded vision of the future as defined by the emergent technologies of his own time. The conceptual self-plagiarism on display stretches, at times, to the very beginning of his career with early and more awkward works like Metropolis.
Populated by all of the Tezuka archetypal players one comes to expect from his work, the opening can seems almost like business as usual, which is odd for Tezuka in general and the Phoenix cycle in particular. But where Astro Boy is fueled by Tezuka's curiosity about the future and what marvels it might hold for the human race, the tone here is markedly different enough to warrant re-examination of exactly how Tezuka is using that awareness of his earlier work to comment on the story that he tells. Without a miracle, sought relentlessly, not unlike the Phoenix herself in book one, human life on Earth is about to cease forever.
As in Dawn, the narrative sections of the story are partitioned by an appearance of the Phoenix. In the first, Masato Yamanobe, a young man in the Yamato Space Patrol, is forced to defy his superiors and flee the city in order to protect his girlfriend, Tamami, from execution by the state. She is not human but of a race of aliens known as the Moopie who are able to tap into human consciousness and provide vivid hallucinations that supersede reality. Her species has been declared forbidden in Yamato and Yamanobe himself had been involved in missions to exterminate them. Their flight leads them up out of the city and on to the wasted surface of the Earth in hopes of finding an observation dome before the toxins in the air and treacherous weather conditions kill them.
As the story moves, in one narrative strand, to the surface, Tezuka begins adding more detail and scope into his panels. Split between Yamato, where a world war begins to brew over Yamanobe's escape, the Earth's surface, and the interior of one of the aforementioned observation domes where the pair find refuge, we still find ourselves confined to more claustrophobic and technologically dominated environments than open and natural ones, however devastated.
With the mutual destruction of the great cities, the story is brought into a unity of location at the observation dome. The Phoenix appears to a famed scientist within this dome, instructing him to receive the fleeing refugees and, in her appearance, opens the second section. Tezuka reduces his players down to four, three men and one Moopie. With the law that declared the Moopie a danger to humanity made moot in the wake of civilization's passing, Tamami becomes a commodity. The Doctor, seeking her cells to complete his experimentation into creating life; Roc, the same bureaucrat who sentenced her to death in Yamato, now wanting to take her into deep space to try his luck among the stars; and Yamanobe, who just wants his girlfriend back. But this love quadrangle doesn't last long as the supervolcanoes erupt due to the multiple nuclear blasts and, even the observation dome is cracked, radiation poisons its inhabitants towards a slow but inevitable death.
Tezuka resolves the second section relatively quickly with two twists. First, Tamami gives up her human form that the Doctor might be able to construct Yamanobe an immortal body. Ironically, the Phoenix appears to Yamanobe and transforms him into an immortal being even as Tamami is stripped of her human form towards the same, now unnecessary, end. Within pages, everyone is dead except for Tamami, now trapped in her amorphous natural state, and Yamanobe, who is impervious to injury and, by all reckoning, immortal.
After the first two sections in safe and comfortable territory, Tezuka makes a broad stylistic leap in the third. It opens with the Phoenix's revelation to Yamanobe that takes him on a trip of scale from the macro-cosmic to the quantum and back. With no analogous works from this period or before available in English, one is tempted to identify this as a new riff in Tezuka's work that would resurface again in the more mystical sections of Buddha. Western readers may also feel a simpatico at work in this section (and others like later in the volume) with Steve Ditko's work on Dr. Strange as well as more recent mystic explorations in comics like Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's The Birth Caul.
With the reduction of the cast comes one of Tezuka's most bleak storylines ever committed to paper. Yamanobe spends an eternity on Earth as its only sentient creature until all vestiges of his former life are forgotten. With humanity and its technology destroyed, the some of the page's focus returns to the natural landscape but, oddly, Tezuka rarely moves fully back into the deeply illustrative approach of Book One. The Earth, as it slowly regains the potential to sustain life, is drawn in a more cartoony fashion, rounded edges and irregular shapes reminding one at times of Theodore Geisel (Dr. Suess).
As the story plunges deeper and deeper into the future, the distinction between that future and the past we assumed at the story's beginning becomes as disassociated as Yamanobe's recollection of his former life. Life arises, complexifies, dominates, and destroys itself over yet again before Yamanobe finally fulfills his task of repopulating the Earth with humans and is, at last, allowed to rest. In fact, the volume's end reproduces the opening of Book One, lending credence to the idea that Tezuka considered ending the cycle in this one binary circuit.
Of the various installments of the Phoenix cycle, there is none so sprawling in its scope than Future. Though it technically adheres to the pattern set by the cycle as a whole (alternating from the past to the future with each volume), Future subverts the notion of keeping track of time in a linear fashion and, uncharacteristically, attempts to answer the existential questions that are tangled in the heart of the series as a whole. For some, Tezuka's answers to these questions may prove less evocative than the asking itself but rarely in the series is the Phoenix so forthcoming with her vision and plan for humanity within it. Taken as a whole, Future is not the most visually impressive of the Phoenix cycle and the opening may underwhelm Tezuka enthusiasts looking for something novel. But given its scope and bold twists on the plot towards the middle and end, it is definitely one of the must reads of the series and stands well both on its own and in context with the series as a whole. Highly recommended.

It's a little hard to believe that Allyson Felix is just 26. She has already won silver medals in the 200 meters at the last two Olympics, and enters the London Games as favorite to finally get an individual gold in her best event. Felix will run the 100 meters first, having qualified at the U.S. Olympic Trials in that infamous third-place tie with Jeneba Tarmoh. (Tarmoh ultimately decided not to participate in a run-off, thus ceding the position to Felix, her training partner.)
Felix responded to questions from the world press Tuesday afternoon in London:
On her chances for a gold in the 200 this time: My training's going great. The 200 PR that I set at the Trials was a long time coming since my previous best–I think it was five years–and that encouraged me a lot. I really needed that breakthrough. I had been stuck at about the same time for so long. It got frustrating, especially when I saw other sprinters dropping their times. Now I'm confident I can keep improving. My breakthrough told me that all the hard training has not been in vain. I'm definitely hoping the third time's the charm in the 200.
On how the 100 helps her get ready for the 200: It helps a lot. I know the odds are against me in the 100, but I'm fully invested in it. I won't even think about the 200 until the 100 is over. This year I've stayed in sprint mode all season, and that has helped a lot. Last year when I ran the 400, I found that my 200s didn't feel the same. I'd get to the point in the 200 when I was accustomed to reaching another gear, and it wasn't there. This year I've stayed in sprint rhythm, and have felt the benefits of that in both events, the 100 and 200.
On a wake-up call from Jamaican sprinters in Beijing: I think you guys in the press have made more of that than we do. In the individual events, we always want to go out there and beat whoever beat us the last time. You want the rematch to prove something to yourself. The relays are a little different. We feel a real push to run fast for our country. We know we're representing our country in the relays.
On the whole Jeneba Tarmoh situation at the Trials, and why Felix didn't give up her spot in the 100: That whole event blew up into an unfortunate, emotional situation. Some people expected me to give up my place because I'm supposed to be such a nice girl. But this is the Olympics. This isn't something I just started doing last year. People don't understand that this is your lifestyle. It's what you make so many sacrifices for. It wasn't an easy thing to give up. I had a lot of other people to consider. First, there was Bobby Kersee. When I came to him for coaching eight years ago, he sat me down and asked me what I hoped to achieve. I told him I wanted to run the Olympic 100, the 200, the 4 by 100, and the 4 by 400. He said, "Okay, that's a lot."
But it's something we started training for right then. And the whole process has included a lot of ups and downs and heartbreaks. I felt that I owed it to Bobby for everything he has done for me. I owed it to my parents. I had a conversation with Jackie Joyner Kersee about what I should do, and she said: "You can't give up anything. You've worked too hard." So it wasn't just about me. It was about all the other people on my mind too.
On how she and Tarmoh have gotten along since the Trials: I don't want to get into any specifics. Anyone who knows us can see that Jeneba and I are together all the time, working together, getting along fine.
(Note: Tarmoh is on the U.S. Olympic team as a possible runner in the 4 x 100 relay, as is Felix. The two could end up passing the baton, one to the other.)

Yankees star dumps agent for Jay-Z
Cano made switch in his walk year
NEW YORK - Robinson Cano is switching agents from baseball super agent Scott Boras to a new company formed by musician Jay-Z's Roc Nation and CAA Sports.
Cano will be represented in baseball matters by CAA Sports' Brodie Van Wagenen. The New York Yankees second baseman is making $15 million this season and can become a free agent at the end of the 2013 season.
While the Yankees usually wait for contracts to expire before negotiating new agreements with players, they have said they hope to reach a deal with the 30-year-old Cano while he remains under their control.
The new company, Roc Nation Sports, is led by Shawn Carter, better known as Jay-Z, and Juan Perez, who will be company president.
Boras is the agent to numerous superstar baseball players, including Cano's injured Yankees teammate Alex Rodriguez. Rodriguez signed two record contracts as a Boras client, including his current 10-year, $275 million contract.
Cano, 30, is a 4-time All Star who batted .313 with 33 HRs and 94 RBIs last year.

Chromatin endowed by histone modifications governs chromatin structure, which in turn represents a means to regulate cellular processes, including transcription and heterochromatin formation. Recent evidence revealed a plethora of enzymes that catalyze specific histone modifications for epigenetic maintenance, and dysregulation of which contributes to tumorigenesis and developmental defects. The histone methyltransferase SET8 (also known as Pr-Set7) was previously reported to monomethylate Lys(20) of histone H4. However, the temporal and spatial control of SET8 activity remains elusive. Here, we provide evidence to support that SET8 monomethylates Lys(20) of histone H4 during S phase by tethering to proliferating cell nuclear antigen via a putative proliferating cell nuclear antigen-interacting protein box. In addition, we show that SET8 function is required for S phase progression. Finally, deletion of SET8 in mice causes embryonic lethality, suggesting that SET8 plays an important role in mammalian embryogenesis.

You don't necessarily need a PCM RX, one such as the MZK SEXTA has a failsafe function. |

The new guy is asking....
Just ordered mine
Now i wonder if i dont want to configure or change anything on the osd in the air can i use the trainer port output to set up the osd on the ground instead of hooking up some reciever modification to start with? I have a Futaba 12 FG 6 pin output with square connector. Also i have the R6008HS Reciever wich has a data output. is this a serial output? or is it some Futaba specific output? What modifications do i have to do on my OSD when it arrives to hook it up with my camera and video tx (no GPS, no Current sensor)? Cheers Daniel |

Yes, not quite a plug, but if you solder a wire to this point on the SEXTA Rx, plus a ground return http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/attac...mentid=3151119 |

Renatoa is right, you are restricting the usefulness of what DOSD+ can do if you don't connect it to your receiver, but in answer to your question YES you can set up this way if you want. I don't know about your radio but I get PPM from my DX6i trainer socket and it will plug straight into DOSD+ PPM input for connections you will need to buy yourself some connectors for headers. PPM uses a 3-way just like a servo connector, the Video connector uses 4-way. for powering the board you can use 2-way or JST or connect an unused servo wire from your reciever to the DOSD and jumper the servo power to the power pin by soldering under the board or using a wire with connectors you can make. look at the first post on this thread there are links to a board connection diagram, you can see what you will need. I used these: http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/TheMod...34Q2ec0Q2em322 |

Creative finance vs traditional venture capital
Need a loan? Small businesses have more options in 2014
Eric PetersonCrowdfunding, tech-oriented alternative lenders and resurgent venture capitalists are rewriting the financing rules for startups and upstarts seeking growth capital. Entrepreneurs still need to show investors they can generate sales, and alternative loan rates can be steep, but now those with a vision and the industriousness to make it happen have a better chance of finding financing that fits the stage and scope of their enterprise.
Here's a look at how those funding options are playing out in Colorado:
Alternative lending 2.0
After three tours in Iraq with the U.S. Army, Will White started Caveman Cafeteria in Denver in 2012. His business encompassed a food truck and catering business focused on the popular Paleolithic, or "paleo," diet.
By early 2013, White wanted to open a food stand on lower downtown Denver's 16th Street Mall and raised $21,000 on Kickstarter. Mission accomplished — for the time being.
A few months later, he began applying for bank financing to launch a prepared-food delivery service. He needed money for a website reboot and marketing. No dice.
"They said until we were in business for two years to forget about bank loans," White says.
He went online in his hunt for alternative lenders and discovered OnDeck, which opened an office roughly a year ago in Denver with nearly 50 employees. "Within 24 to 48 hours, we had the funds in the bank."
Once White landed his loan, he hired a chef to continue to grow. He's since received a renewal loan through OnDeck and plans to utilize that service along with Kickstarter in hopes of expansion into California later this year.
New York-based OnDeck aims to make better small business loans through technology. Founded in 2007, the company has delivered more than $1 billion in loans to date, with $30 million going to Colorado companies, including $13 million in 2013.
"At OnDeck we have built a technology platform that revolutionizes how small businesses can access capital," says OnDeck COO James Hobson, noting that the company tracks data on 700 industries. "They have traditionally been underserved by the banking industry."
He says the company's algorithm-driven application process is "super-efficient," providing working capital in the amount of $5,000 to $250,000 with terms of three to 24 months. Loans up to $30,000 can be closed online the same day. Rates are premium, ranging from 18 percent to 36 percent.
OnDeck requires clients to have been in business for at least one year with $100,000 in annual revenue. Customers are eligible to apply for additional financing when the previous loan is half paid off.
Hobson says banks are focused on million-dollar deals. "It takes a lot of time and effort for the small-business owner to apply for the loan, and they're not getting approved," Hobson says. He calls OnDeck's application process "transparent, very easy and frictionless," noting, "That's really the power of the technology."
More than 90 percent of customers say they'd recommend OnDeck to others, and the company grew by 150 percent in 2013. "We don't see it slowing down," Hobson says. "It just shows the demand and need for capital."
OnDeck closed on $77 million in venture capital in March 2014 and has cumulatively raised nearly $500 million in equity and debt financing. Competitors include CAN Capital, Kabbage, and Square Capital.
Crowdfunding comes to small-business finance
Just as peer-to-peer financing has reinvented the personal loan with Lending Club, crowdfunding is poised to offer similar options to small businesses.
Founded in 2012 and an acronym for "people to business," P2Binvestor [P2Bi] is a Colorado startup looking to harness the power of the crowd to finance small businesses.
"We've come a long way in the past year," says Bruce Morgan, P2Binvestor CEO. After closing on a Series A round of $850,000 led by NexGen Storage founder John Spiers last fall, P2Bi moved from Broomfield to Denver, grew to 10 employees, and made its first loans this January.
"A lot of the companies we talk to don't want to give up equity at an early stage," Morgan says. The catch? "People who don't have revenue don't have a choice besides the equity route. Typically any company that's in a position to get a bank line, they're going to take it."
As an alternative, P2Binvestor crowdfunds from a pool of accredited investors to loan to established businesses with a history of cash flow, Morgan says. Now P2Binvestor has a collection of 370 accredited investors. "We're really looking at companies that are $100,000 to $2 million a month in revenue."
"We have huge amounts of money wanting to invest on our site," Morgan says. "The real pressure is finding people we want to lend to."
He also sees P2Bi as a provider of bridge loans to post-revenue startups. "We can be the next-stage lender after a company has gotten an equity investor."
While the long-term P2Bi plan includes expansion to other markets, the focus is currently local, he adds. "We'e really focused on doing business in Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins -- that's the sweet spot for us."
Morgan says P2Bi's loans typically have rates of 15 percent to 18 percent. P2Bi also offers a rate guarantee that allows clients to switch if they can find a lower rate elsewhere. "That's a function of crowdfunding. As long as the crowd is willing to invest, we can invest. The downside is that clients have to market themselves to the crowd," Morgan says.
"There are studies that say at least 60 percent of companies are not bankable," Morgan notes. "Banks have become very conservative because of Dodd-Frank. It's an unintended consequence. It's certainly had an impact on small-business lending. The bottom line is that it's more likely a small business will run into payment difficulty than a large one."
Traditional VC update
Colorado's venture capital continues to come back after some lean years.
After commuting from Virginia, Joe Zell moved to Denver full-time about five years ago to further Grotech Ventures' mission of "venture investing in underserved markets," according to Zell. After the Mid-Atlantic and the Southeast, the Rockies were next.
"My phone started ringing and people said there were a lot of opportunities here," he said. "The money really had dried up."
Denver-based writer Eric Peterson is the author of Frommer's Colorado, Frommer's Montana & Wyoming, Frommer's Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks and the Ramble series of guidebooks, featuring first-person travelogues covering everything from atomic landmarks in New Mexico to celebrity gone wrong in Hollywood. Peterson has also recently written about backpacking in Yosemite, cross-country skiing in Yellowstone and downhill skiing in Colorado for such publications as Denver's Westword and The New York Daily News.

Rumparooz diapers were born out of necessity when Julie Ekstrom's second daughter showed a heightened sensitivity to disposable diapers. Drawing from her 20 years of sewing experience, Julie set down with pencil and paper in hand to design what would become the most feature packed cloth diaper.
The first and only brand of one size cloth diapers to bravely claim to be 100% leakproof against blow-outs, Julie's diapers quickly gained a following and the company Kanga Care was established in Littleton, Colorado. Now in its 4th year, Rumparooz has earned two iParenting Media Awards and are sold worldwide in more than 23 countries.

Kalish Method
Functional Medicine practitioner, Dr. Daniel Kalish is highly skilled with more than 15 years experience in the field. Having worked with several thousand patients over the years, Dr. Kalish has developed a remarkably effective systemic approach to Functional Medicine practice.
Dr. Bennett has been certified as a Kalish Method practitioner, having completed a rigorous year-long training program with Dr. Kalish himeslf. Dr. Bennett used the Kalish Method as his primary approach to Functional Medicine because of its repeatable results.
The Kalish method focuses primarily on three body systems:
- The adrenal/endocrine system
- The gastrointestinal or digestive system
- The detoxification and metabolic system
One of the most interesting areas currently has to do with testing and assisting with removal of h. pylori from the stomach and intestinal system. Because of the relationship between h. pylori and an increased risk for the development of stomach cancer, it is vitaly important to test for this bacteria and take appropriate measures to help the body rid itself of the infection.
There are predictable patterns of development of imbalance in these systems and common patient symptoms that correlate with these imbalances. Using Kalish Method protocols, patients can be assured of outstanding improvements in there health and wellness.

@An Smaointeoir:
It is common knowledge in the field of psychometrics that the Myer's-Briggs is of limited utility even in a work environment due to a very low validity coefficient (psychometric definition of "validity": Does the test measure what it purports to measure?) and very low reliability coefficient (psychometric definition of "reliability": Does a subject repeating the same test over time provides consistent responses over time?)
Psychmetrics is a very specialized field that comes under the broad rubric of Psyhcoloyg. Folks there devised the commonly used Intelligence Test which many take stock in, particularly the MENSA pople except none in that group seem bright enough to question whether the instrument that measures their intelligcence is valid.
On the narrow subject of this blog post, WW and other lay readers (in particular the commenter who suggests using Myer-Briggs for yet another correlational study) make the mistake of taking research material that requires some degree of techncal background and training and proceed to put another layer of interpretion on the subject chosen. Many journalists make this mistake. They go beyond their scope of knowledge but are not aware that they have. And they speak with a tone of authority that is troubling to the professionals. A lot of disinfomration is dissemnated in this way, innocently, well-meaningly. but not any less irresponsibly.
Although in these days of Wikipedia, anyone any wiki anything. Most, not everything, provided in on Wiki is good information, especially when the identity of authorship is provided. The least a responsible journalist and a judicious reader can do is fact-check more and be gullible less.
IN A recent post on the constitutionality of the filibuster, I floated the opinion "that polarisation is due mainly to increasingly efficient sorting of American voters into parties according to personality type", without offering any evidence or explanation, as several commenters were right to observe. I'm happy to admit that this is an idiosyncratic hypothesis, and that I therefore owe readers at least a sketch of the reasoning behind it.
First, conservatives and liberals do tend to differ in terms of personality. This is a well-known, well-confirmed proposition in political psychology. Among the "big five" personality traits, two are significantly associated with ideological sympathies. "Conscientiousness" is pretty much what it sounds like. Wikipedia helpfully notes that, "Recently, conscientiousness has been broken down, further, into two 'aspects': orderliness and industriousness, the former which is associated with the desire to keep things organized and tidy and the latter which is associated more closely with productivity and work ethic." Conscientiousness is positively associated with conservatism. The other politically-relevant personality trait, "openness to experience" is a bit harder to characterise, but "involves active imagination, aesthetic sensitivity, attentiveness to inner feelings, preference for variety, and intellectual curiosity." Openness is positively associated with liberalism. It's worth adding that one recent study found that another of the big five personality traits, "agreeableness", also relates to our ideological tendencies, but this was detected only when agreeableness was broken down into two different components: "compassion", which leans left, and "politeness", which leans right.
So, to summarise, if you're low in "conscientiousness" and high in "openness", you probably identify as liberal; if you're high in conscientiousness and low in openness, you probably identify as conservative. One can also analyse ideological tendency using Jonathan Haidt's "moral foundations theory", but let's just note for now that our political tendencies tend to flow from relatively fixed aspects of our personalities, which, by the way, have a significant genetic component.
Second, as Bruce Bartlett argued recently, "The demise of the conservative Southern Democrat is the primary reason for the rise of political polarization." I agree. In a recent post applying Mr Haidt's theory to the question of re-unionisation, I argued that in the middle of the 20th century
the most temperamentally conservative people in America, pro-Jim Crow Southern whites, were a huge and indispensable part of the Democratic coalition. This required that the Democratic Party remain effectively conservative on social issues. As a consequence, not only could conservative Southerners feel comfortable in the party, but so could conservatives in the Northern, urban, industrial hotbeds of unionization.
As an increasingly liberal Democratic Party began to coalesce around the civil-rights agenda in the 1960s, conservative Southern Democrats trickled out of the party, and so did many conservative working-class whites in the North. But this is hardly the whole sorting story. Nelson Polsby, a Berkeley political scientist who died in 2007, emphasised the importance of air-conditioning. Here's Mr Polsby in a 2002 interview:
All right, now, what happened? Well, the Dixiecrats disappeared. Why did they disappear? ... They disappeared because of the rise of the Republican Party in the South. Sooner or later, conservatives, instead of being Dixiecrats, became Republicans. Now why did they become Republicans? Well, because a sufficient number of people who were Republicans moved to the South from the North. And the question is, why did they move South?
... And the answer is, they migrated down there. Why did they migrate down there? Well, basically, a fair number of them had spent winters down there, but with the introduction in the early 1950s of residential air-conditioning, people began to stay down there.
... Now, how did I verify this? Well, there is some demographic material, which seems to show this, and, also, of course, I went around and talked to some Southern Republican congressman. They told me some wonderful stories about how they had become Republican, or their parents had become Republican. And it was all about Northerners moving down and making it possible.
It would seem that this migration of Republicans to the South would have had the effect of increasing the concentration of dispositional conservatives in the South and, at the same time, increasing the concentration of dispositional liberals in the industrial North and the Mid-Atlantic.
In his book "Who's Your City", Richard Florida and his colleagues found evidence that different regions and cities do have somewhat different personalities, which is what we'd expect if Mr Polsby was right. See this suggestive graphic.
Where do the folks high in "conscientiousness" live? Where do folks high in "openness to experience" live? Given what we know about personality and politics, this pattern shouldn't be at all surprising. (And I'd bet we're seeing "compassionately agreeable" folks clustered in the upper Midwest, and "politely agreeable" folks clustered in the Southeast.) This is just a single snapshot, and doesn't count as evidence of personality-based patterns of migration. But it does illustrate that personality type is not at all randomly distributed geographically, and I'd be quite surprised if the spread of air-conditioning and falling costs of relocation did not lead to a fair amount of sorting by personality type.
Here's the last piece of my sketch. Cass Sunstein's work on group deliberation tell us that
... deliberation tends to move groups, and the individuals who compose them, toward a more extreme point in the direction indicated by their own predeliberation judgments. For example, people who are opposed to the minimum wage are likely, after talking to each other, to be still more opposed; people who tend to support gun control are likely, after discussion, to support gun control with considerable enthusiasm. ... This general phenomenon -- group polarization -- has many implications for economic, political, and legal institutions...
I'll say! We should expect increasingly politically homogeneous populations to settle on increasingly extreme consensus positions. My hunch is that, over time, Mr Sunstein's group-polarisation dynamic has a self-reinforcing feedback effect. More uniformly conservative communities will drift toward more extreme conservative views. Remaining dispositionally liberal residents will feel increasingly isolated and alien, which will provide some with the impetus to "self-deport" to more ideologically congenial climes. And vice versa.
I don't know if all this adds up to a persuasive argument for the view that increasing political polarisation is due "mainly", as I said, to the sorting of American voters into parties by personality. But I think it's quite plausible that this is a significant part of the story.

Cortland Firefighters & Utilities Cutting Power to Flooded Homes
Friday, August 9, 2013
The Cortland City Fire Department and representatives from National Grid and Niagara Mohawk are going door to door to flooded homes, turning off power and conducting damage assessments as a result of today's flooding.
According to Deputy City Fire Chief Wayne Friedman firefighters are targeting homes in the hardest hit areas first, that includes Townley Ave., Floral Ave, Groton Ave., Madison Street and Homer Avenue. Working with the utility crews they will turn off or disconnect power and gas service from flooded homes and help residents evacuate where necessary.
The crews will work from the hardest hit homes out to the least impacted as the day continues.
Friedman says several homes in those neighborhoods are flooded and the fire department will not be pumping water out of those basements until the water levels subside.

How To FIle Bankruptcy With No Trouble
If you are currently going through a personal bankruptcy, you should open a secured line of credit. This will give you the opportunity to begin rebuilding your credit, which will be necessary after your bankruptcy hits your credit. Be sure to pay the bill on time every month to ensure that it improves your credit.
Before you make the decision to file for personal bankruptcy, you should evaluate your finances thoroughly. If there are any places that you can save money to put towards your debts, you should consider doing so. Filing for bankruptcy will cause harm to your credit for many years to come.
Many people do not know that, there are long term consequences of filing for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy will not make a clean credit report. It will stay on a credit reports for ten years. This has to be considered prior to filing for bankruptcy. You will be excluded from buying a home, possibly a car loan, and securing a credit card for ten years after filing for bankruptcy.
Find help on a local level to ensure you get correct information about your state's laws, and filing requirements. Because laws vary from state to state, using the wrong information can potentially make you lose your case. Consulting with a local expert ensures. You can get the correct information, and increases your odds for success significantly.
Do not jump the gun, and file for bankruptcy too early. Filing at the wrong time could leave you with more debt than you had before. It also means that you will not be able to file against those debts. All debt must be listed on your initial application for it to be included.
Make sure to provide every last detail about your financial situation when filing. jEven that information that seems insignificant. This includes all income, debts and assets. Even if it is a very small amount, or something that is never used. Include any pending litigation against you as well, as this can result in financial obligations in the future. It is important to give an accurate representation of your financial situation. This is only done by providing this information.
When you file bankruptcy, you want to avoid finding yourself in similar dire financial circumstances, so planning for and making a post-bankruptcy budget is a good idea. When you can create such a budget and stick to it after
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
, you are far less likely to find yourself in the same position in the future, ensuring you are more financially free.
Be very careful if you are a small-business owner and are considering filing for bankruptcy because you may be personally responsible for the full value of your leased property. While there is not much you can do if you are filing for bankruptcy, you need to seek counsel on asset protection before you start your business.
Stay on top of your finances enough to file before the last possible moment. Your financial debt, and responsibilities will not solve themselves, nor will they be able to sit on the back burner forever. You must act decisively. Through knowledge of where your finances truly stand. Ignoring the problem will only result in greater issues.
With all of the advice you gained today there should be no reason as to why you have to file for bankruptcy. You now have ideas about how to avoid and get around putting yourself in financial disaster. Use what you learned today. Plan out your future finances, in order to, avoid being put in this position again.

Ask Glenn
Where does all the water go at low tide?
Into Space! Well – kind of. The Earth and its seas are egg-shaped, and water doesn't cover the Earth evenly. High tides happen as we spin through the deep bits. Low tides happen as we spin through the shallows.
What? The Earth is an egg?! I thought it was a ball...
Nope. It's almost spherical, but not quite. It's squashed outwards round the middle, as if someone is pinching it with a giant thumb and finger at each pole. But in fact, it isn't being squashed at all. It's being stretched out of shape by tidal forces.
Hang on – doesn't 'tide' mean 'when the sea goes in and out'?
It does. But the tide has to be caused by something, right? Well that something is a tidal force. This is the pulling, stretching and squashing of one large mass by another one, due to gravity. In this case, it's the Earth being pulled out of shape by the Moon and, to a lesser extent, by the Sun.
Err... what?
Let's backtrack a bit. We know gravity is a force that pulls objects together, and the bigger the object, the bigger the pull. We also know that the closer together the objects are, the bigger the pull between them. That OK?
The Moon is a big object, and it's reasonably close to the Earth. So the Moon's gravity constantly tugs at the Earth. But if you think about it, one side of the Earth is a lot closer to the Moon than the other side – about 6,000 miles closer, in fact, since this is how wide the Earth is. So there's a far stronger pull on the Moon-ward side than the opposite side. This stretches the Earth in the direction of the Moon, making the Earth slightly oblate (or egg-shaped), rather than a perfect sphere.
But how does that make the tides happen?
The Moon doesn't just pull on the Earth – it pulls on all the water stuck to the outside of the planet, too. The seas and oceans of the Earth form a watery shell round it, but this shell isn't spherical, either. The water on the Moon-ward side is even closer to the Moon than the Earth it sits on, so it gets pulled towards the Moon more than the water on the opposite side. This makes an egg-shaped watery shell in Space, and the Earth itself is pulled into the middle of it. So now you have a squished Earth spinning within a squished ball of water.
Slightly, yes. Now here's the clever bit: if you imagine (or better yet, draw) these shapes, you'll see that you get an uneven depth of water around the planet. If the water forms an egg shape pointing towards the Moon, then it's deepest at the tip and base of the egg, and shallowest round the sides. Because the Earth spins round once a day, this means one point on it (say, Hawaii) moves alternately through the deeps and shallows twice a day – going deep-shallow-deepshallow in the course of one turn.
So the island is in deep water twice a day (high tide) and shallow water twice a day (low tide). And the water at low tide doesn't really 'go' anywhere – it just gets shifted around in Space.
Cool. But what about the Sun? You said that it pulls on the Earth too?
The Sun does pull on the Earth, and it's much bigger than the Moon. But because it's so much further away, it doesn't have as much of a tidal, squashing effect on the planet as the Moon does. It does pull on the oceans a little bit, though, and we see the effects in spring tides and neap tides. This is when you get extra-high and extra-low tides twice a year, as the Earth moves round the Sun, and the pull from the Sun reinforces that of the Moon. If you live by the sea, you may have noticed this before.
So if the Moon wasn't there, we'd have no tides?
Pretty much. No tides, no big waves and no surfing.

Mayim Bialik Joins Cast Of "Untitled Web Series About A Space Traveler Who Can Also Travel Through Time"
By Perry Michael Simon on April 17, 2013
If you're looking forward to more of Untitled Web Series About A Space Traveler Who Can Also Travel Through Time, the web series that resulted from the Doctor Who homage "Inspector Spacetime" on Community, you'll be interested in the show's latest casting coup: Mayim Bialik will be serving as the voice of The Inspector's T.A.R… er, B.O.O.T.H. time machine.
How'd they pull off casting the Blossom/Big Bang Theory star? Well, The Inspector — Travis Richey — worked with her at ACME Comedy Theatre in Hollywood. and reconnected when they ended up seated next to each other on a flight from Milwaukee a few years ago, so I imagine it took a phone call.
"I am beyond thrilled to have Mayim involved with the series," Travis said. "Besides being an amazing actress, she's a brilliant and wonderful human being. Her take on the personality of the BOOTH made us go in and completely rethink the character. It's so much more interesting now, and of course we had add more lines for Mayim." For her part, Mayim said, "I am thrilled to be part of the Inspector Spacetime world. As a Doctor Who fan, Inspector Spacetime satisfies all of my theatrical and nerdy desires. Putting on an admittedly poor fake British accent and working with the awesome and talented Travis Richey made me feel like a bonafide nerd-girl."
They're working on the Season 2 prequel episode now. Keep up with it by clicking here.
I don't commonly leave feedback on any post but this post captured my attention, I need to
post a feedback. I have to proclaim this article
is well written. No unwanted words and is honest -
[…] Source: Facebook via Nerdist […]
If there were a nerd girl/woman men's magazine, Mayim would be a centerfold!! . . . I have to start a magazine!!!
[…] Mayim Bialik of The Big Bang Theory will be joining the cast of the Untitled Web Series About A Space Traveler Who Can Also Travel Through Time. This is the web version of Inspector Spacetime with name removed to avoid copyright infringement against Community. Incidentally, Community had its best post-Dan Harmon episode this week with a Freaky Friday storyline. The episode was written by Jim Rash, who plays the Dean and shows he picked up a few things about how the show should be done during the time he has spent appearing on it. Rash is interviewed about writing the episode here. […]
