A California mother's unusual attempt to help her unemployed adult daughter get a job appears to be getting swift results.
Linda Smith, 61, of Menifee, Calif., made a sign on which she posted the following offer: take her daughter's resume and pass it on, and get $500 in cash if her daughter is hired because of the referral.
Smith took the sign out on a busy intersection in Menifee, and stood there for more than two hours in the morning rush hour on Friday. Of the 80 resumes she took with her, only 11 were taken — but word of mouth and social media are doing the rest, she said.
In an interview Tuesday with ABCNews.com, she described how she came up with the idea. She said her daughter, 36-year-old Lisa Smith, had been searching for work since last summer.
Much of Lisa Smith's immediate previous work history was as a full-time, in-home caregiver for her mother, who suffered a brain injury when she was struck by a drunk driver in 1996.
"She was in (South) Korea doing modeling at the time and she knew something was wrong with me. She quit modeling to come home and make sure I was OK," Linda Smith said.
Eventually, Linda Smith regained her independence and was able to live on her own last year. Since her daughter had been hired by the Department of Veterans Affairs to care for Linda Smith — who served in the Army in the 1970s — she needed to find other income once her mother no longer needed the care.
The young woman has some college credits but wasn't able to attend class full-time because she was caring for her mother. She had a GED, Microsoft Office training, and also worked in Linda Smith's marketing business as an executive assistant.
Even though her daughter has considerable office experience and is eager to work, Linda Smith said she believes employers in a down economy may not be receptive to her resume because her most recent work history was as a caregiver and assistant to her mother.
"I'm not stupid. It's going to take a miracle for her to get hired somewhere. … I just thought she could use a little boost," she said. "I always heard that people won't do anything unless there's the WIIFM, what's in it for me? So I thought, how can I mesh them being excited to take her resume and give it to their boss? What could I offer? A round trip to Hawaii? Well, how about cold, hard cash?"
A reporter for The Press-Enterprise, the local newspaper, saw Linda Smith standing on the street with her sign and wrote a story about it. Since then, the inquiries, suggestions and requests for resumes have been pouring in.
Lisa Smith is amazed. She told ABCNews.com that she had been doing the job hunt alone because she wanted to stand on her own two feet, but admits that it has been very hard.
"I put out maybe over 80 resumes. I've been to multiple job fairs. I've gone in person to as many as four businesses in one day, so when that didn't get met to where I thought it would, I started to acquiesce when she said," she said, speaking of her reaction to her mother's offer.
Lisa Smith described the leads generated by her mother's actions as "a miracle." She has a job interview lined up for Friday. Even though she used to run her own business and initially started out looking for an executive assistant position, she said she's willing to work in any position and in any industry.
Linda Smith said she couldn't be more pleased about the response, even though she admits the public reaction has been mixed. Some people have emailed her asking for her daughter's resume, but others have questioned her involvement.
One commenter on Facebook asked, "Uh…why isn't her daughter out there holding her own sign?" and another added: "Mommy needs to cut the strings and let the daughter find her own job. This next generation is scr**ing this country with their I am owed type attitude. God help the USA!"
But Linda Smith said she and her daughter have no one but each other, and she wanted to help her daughter get her life on track since she spent so much of it caring for her.
"She was getting to the point where she was like, 'don't know how much more of this I can take,' and nobody that's a mother wants their child to be in that position … all she wants is to get hired so she can earn her own way and not deplete her savings," she said, adding that she wasn't asking for a handout or for her daughter to get a job she didn't deserve.
Lisa Smith said she is grateful for her mother's efforts.
"She's such a great mom," she said. "So amazing."

Join Granby youth in cleaning Fulton lock area
The Granby Youth Group is hosting a cleanup at Lock 0-3 as part of the state's ninth annual Canal Clean Sweep.
The event will be at 10 a.m. April 26 at Lock 0-3 in Fulton.
More than 150 community organizations, service groups, municipalities and businesses across the New York State Canal System are participating in the Canal Clean Sweep by joining in one of the 100 local clean-up activities in Canal parks, along public promenades and on Canalway Trail segments in their region.
The event is held annually in recognition of Earth Day 2014 and in preparation for the opening of the canal season.
This year is the 190th consecutive navigation season on the New York State Canal System.
People will be out cleaning canal areas during Clean Sweep weekend April 25 to 27.
The Canal Clean Sweep highlights the growing significance of the Canal System and the Canalway Trail System as a recreational and tourism destination across the state and city of Fulton by encouraging communities, nonprofit organizations and volunteers to engage in cleanup and beautification activities along the Canal System and the Canalway Trail.
The New York State Canal System is composed of four historic waterways, the Erie, the Champlain, the Oswego and the Cayuga-Seneca Canals.
Spanning 524 miles across New York state, the waterway links the Hudson River, Lake Champlain, Lake Ontario, the Finger Lakes and the Niagara River with communities rich in history and culture.
Parks and Trails New York is the only statewide not-for-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the health and quality of life of New Yorkers through the use and enjoyment of a growing network of parks, pedestrian and bicycle trails, greenways, and heritage corridors around the state.

Cross Walk, lunch set for April 18
The annual Good Friday Cross Walk will begin at 10:30 a.m. Friday, April 18 in the parking lot of Holy Trinity Parish, Buffalo Street, Fulton.
The cross walk is sponsored by the Greater Fulton Area Council of Christian Churches. Walkers will gather for prayer and the singing of hymns as they take turns carrying a large wooden cross in the downtown section of the city of Fulton.
This annual walk returns to and remembers the "way of the cross" that Jesus Christ traveled on his journey within the city of Jerusalem to the place of his crucifixion.
The cross walk concludes about noon at its final destination, First United Church of Fulton, 33 S. Third St.

I'm working on developing some custom firmware for the XT300 and eventually the XT311/316, but to get started I need some ROM dumps.
Ideally I need a dump of both the 2.2 FroYo and 2.3 Gingerbread firmwares.
If you've never dumped a ROM before it's not too hard.
First you need a rooted phone. I don't have XT31x hardware yet, but SuperOneClick should work for the 2.2 ROM and there are detailed instructions for rooting 2.3 in the Q&A forum.
For the rest of the instructions, there is a simple to understand set of directions at M3.
Thanks in advance,

At Wimby stringers pretty much just string, with other staff sorting out the rest of the work; and the French Open is very similar.
During the Nottingham Challengers prior to Wimbledon (and is a mens/womens event with 2 separate event on consecutive weeks) we string nearly 500 rqts between just the 2 of us, and we do everything else as well.
I admire your speed. At a constant speed I look to do 3 per hour over a sustained period of time. Chances are I'd probably do 10 in 3 hours. Obviously timings can depend on rqts & strings.
Oh, nice idea for the streaming. Ionly be viewing some of the vids.
Thanks for the info Paul, 500 between two is mind boggling. I suffered a bit physically this tournament. I haven't been stringing much prior to this event, so my fingers definitely took the shock poorly the second day. By the third I was fine, though. I can only string ~4 an hour with strings removed prior, so it's a pretty unrealistic pace at an event that's set up like this. 3/hr or ~10/3 hours is pretty close to what I can sustain as well. I know for sure at the start of this event I wasn't even stringing 3/hr, I was probably closer to 2 during day 2. I'm not sure I got back to my "in shape" speed by the end, I'm not going to go back through those videos to find out either :P
Overall general notes of the tournament:
UVA was our #1 volume customer, if I had to guess without looking at the records. As a stringer, I absolutely love UVA as a 'customer,' the head coach's wife (I believe) is the stringer for the team, and she is the one that is charged with communicating and making up order slips for the team. She is an absolute joy to work with because she knows what it's like to be stringing for events and dealing with late nights, etc. I believe she worked last year's event when it was located outside of Seattle.
The frequency of stringing varies HUGELY by team. UVA is pretty good about standardizing their stringing needs. I believe UVA approaches stringing more closely to a 'touring pro' standard, as each player strings almost nightly. We had 5 frames dropped off in a single night from Jenkins (playing the number one spot this tournament). Other teams weren't stringing nightly, some only dropping off a handful of frames the entire tournament.
Pickiness and professionalism of looking at gear (related to the above) was also pretty variable. I found that only a single team or two actually talks to the stringing staff about machine calibration and accuracy. In the past (not sure about this year), UCLA travels with their own calibrator and requests a minute or two on the machine to see where we correlate with their home machine. I thought this was pretty cool to see. I think more teams should be doing this, but if EVERY team did this, it'd start becoming intrusive, IMO. One coach asked me if the machines "strung tight," and I wasn't exactly sure how to answer this. I asked what type of machine was used for their frames normally, and he confirmed "crank" when I probed more (I'm not sure if this is actually accurate, though). I recommended he drop a few pounds, and they kept those tensions throughout the tournament. I feel like this is an example of how teams can improve their experience -- if they had asked another person on our staff, they might have been playing with significantly different tensions, and who knows whether or not my recommendation (while accurate via an age-old rule of thumb) was correct..
Mistakes made in the stringing room were occasional, but more frequent than I'd hope. I feel that this is somewhat due to the nature and conditions of the event, but there were a few occasions and situations that could have easily been avoided if simple fundamental checks are made when approaching a frame.
We have a CYA policy in place that states all frames are strung 2 piece unless requested otherwise, but I tend to string frames like the Pure Storm series as a one piece. I had one situation where a differential tension was requested, and when i reached the crosses, I realized that if a coach/player only sees two knots (regardless of whether or not the differential tension request was honored), they might raise a stink due to the incorrect conclusion that the tension would magically equalize. I had to get a little creative and 'edit' my job into a two piece (since I hadn't yet started the actual crosses, this was simple, but annoying). That one was my bad -- I think it's better to not have to discuss stringing theory with the players, and not to make the job harder for the main stringer contact (a buddy of mine I hired to replace me when I left/graduated).
I didn't see any paint jobs or especially interesting frames this event. Some frames (stock) were surprisingly light, but many frames had pretty significant amounts of lead tape applied. I did see some very small, translucent labels with codes on them, but they were independent of frame brand, and I didn't see any pattern to the codes. I wonder if this was a customization service?
Tensions this tournament ranged from the high end of 70-68 (multifilament hybrids and very open patterned poly) to the mid 40s. I would hazard a guess that the average poly tension averaged out to be in the mid 50s. This has changed over the years, and the average has dropped quite a bit I'd say. I think the teams have adjusted pretty well with gear evolution. Solinco has been surprisingly pervasive in penetrating teams' string lineups. The feedback I was getting from the coaches was that they all really liked the Solinco rep, and that the level of service and offerings were compelling. Many (if not most
) teams were using at least one Solinco product. Tour Bite was the most popular, and I saw a spattering of Revolution, Barb Wire, and one team had a multifilament (although the name eludes me at the moment).
Other popular offerings this tournament were the Luxilons (ALU by far the most popular, followed by original, savage). I didn't see any fluoro reels this time around (but I could be mistaken here). Those were more popular in the past. RPM was a popular reel, and I was very thankful for this, as RPM is a joy to string (for a Poly). There was a few Head Sonic Pros, a Yonex Poly I hadn't seen before, but with an AWESOME texture for stringing. One non UW gut hybrid. Most frames were all poly, though. The hybrids were rare, and you can bet we fought for them
That's all I've got off the top of my head, let me know if there are any general questions!

Bolton v Stoke City preview
Team news for Saturday's Premier League clash between Bolton and Stoke at the Reebok Stadium. Bolton boss Owen Coyle is hopeful Kevin Davies will be fit for to take on the Potters. Wanderers skipper Davies picked up a knock to his ankle while on international duty with England earlier this week. Andy O'Brien (hamstring) and Joey O'Brien (knee) are still receiving treatment, while Ricardo Gardner, Jlloyd Samuel and Sean Davis also remain sidelined. Stoke goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen faces a fitness test ahead of the game but he expects to recover in time from the muscle tear in the area around his hip he suffered while on Denmark duty. Andy Wilkinson is available after recovering from a knee problem, meaning Tony Pulis has a full-strength squad to pick from other than long-term absentee Mama Sidibe. Bolton (from): Jaaskelainen, Bogdan, Cahill, Steinsson, Knight, Robinson, Lee, Holden, Muamba, Petrov, Cohen, K Davies, Elmander, Klasnic, M Davies, Blake, Taylor, Ricketts, Alonso, Moreno. Stoke (from): Sorensen, Huth, Faye, Collins, Shawcross, Delap, Etherington, Pennant, Whelan, Whitehead, Walters, Fuller, Jones, Gudjohnsen, Wilkinson, Higginbotham, Wilson, Begovic, Diao, Tuncay.

Let's Explore
- Do the surface features of the Moon change from day to day? Repeat the experiment using binoculars or a low-power telescope. Study the appearance of the Moon and shade the daily drawings to indicate any dark regions in the lighted area of the Moon. Note that the view of the Moon through a telescope is inverted (upside down), whereas the view with your naked eye or binoculars is not inverted.
- For the days that you did not observe the Moon during the original experiment, use the data collected to guess what the Moon's shape would have been on those days. For information about the shapes and names of the Moon's surface features, see pages 332–351 in Jay M. Pasachoff and Donald H. Menzel's A Field Guide to Stars and Planets (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1992). Science Fair Hint: Use the drawings as part of your display to show the phases of the Moon and the Moon's surface features.
Show Time!
Model the phases of the Moon by shaping a walnut-size piece of dark-colored modeling clay into a ball to represent the Moon. Stick the ball on the point of a pencil. In a darkened room, ask a helper to hold a flashlight so that the light shines toward your face. The flashlight represents the Sun and you are Earth. Holding the pencil in your hand, place the Moon model midway between you and the light. This shows the position of Earth, the Moon, and the Sun during new moon. Use an astronomy book to find out more information about the positions of Earth, Moon, and the Sun during the different phases of the Moon. Have another helper take photos of you showing the different positions for each phase. Use the photos to prepare a display.
Check it Out!
When the visible portion of the lighted side of the Moon increases, the Moon is said to wax, and when the visible portion of the lighted side decreases, it is said to wane. Find out more about the waxing and waning of the Moon. What are the names of the phases between the new moon, first quarter moon, full moon, and third quarter moon? For information about phases of the Moon, see page 40 in Dinah L. Moche's Astronomy Today (New York: Random House, 1995).

Audi U.S. sales in February 2015 rise to record level for 50th consecutive month
Audi reported that its February 2015 sales increased 5.3% to 11,455 vehicles, a total that stands as the 50th consecutive month of record U.S. sales for the premium brand.
The previous February record of 10,881 vehicle sales came in 2014. Through the first two months of 2015, Audi U.S. sales rose 9.6% from a year earlier to 22,996 vehicles.
Audi presents the new R8: The sporty spearhead just got even sharper
No model with the four rings is closer to motorsport, none is more striking and more dynamic: at the Geneva Motor Show, Audi is presenting the second generation of its high-performance R8 sports car. The V10 mid-engine and a newly developed quattro drive ensure breathtaking driving performance, especially in the top-of-the-range version with 449 kW (610 hp): achieving 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in just 3.2 seconds, its top speed is 330 km/h (205.1 mph).
A high-revving mid-engine with superior performance, a consistently lightweight construction concept and an extremely dynamic chassis with quattro drive system and fully variable torque control – this is what makes the R8 the sporty spearhead of Audi. The high-performance sports car has been newly developed from the ground up – it is more taut, more striking and more fascinating both on the race track and on the road.
Sporty and elegant, versatile and connected – the Audi prologue Avant show car
A design with dynamic elegance and the latest high end technologies: The Audi prologue Avant show car with its stretched roof which the brand is presenting at the Geneva Motor Show gives a look into the future – with the new and emotion filled design language that Audi has initiated with its study in the coupé, the prologue.
In November 2014 at the Los Angeles Motorshow, Audi presented the Audi prologue concept car, giving a look to the brand's future design language. Only four months later, the premium manufacturer is showing a variant of its visionary concept at the Geneva Motor Show.
Audi reveals laser headlights for the new R8
International release from AUDI AG
Currently not available on U.S. models
Audi is revealing the headlights of its new R8 as the first of a number of technology highlights of the top sports car. The R8 uses LED headlights which can be supplemented by a laser high‑beam lighting module as an option.
The new R8 will set new standards among high‑performance sports cars – including in its lighting technology. As an option, the latest car development by Audi can be equipped with a laser spot as the high‑beam headlight. The special appeal of laser lighting is that it uses high‑intensity laser diodes, which generate a lot of light energy from a very small component. Compared to LED high‑beam headlights, laser high‑beams attain nearly twice the lighting range.
Audi makes night into day: new lighting competence center
Audi is extending its lead in the field of automotive lighting technology with a new lighting competence center at the company's site in Ingolstadt. Vehicles can be driven into this underground light tunnel, which is 120 meters long and offers new possibilities, especially for the development of innovative lighting solutions and camera-based lighting assistance systems.
"Audi is the leading brand for automotive lighting technology," stated Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development. "From the xenon plus headlight to the matrix‑LED headlight to the laser light, we have been putting pioneering innovations into series production for the past 20 years. Light is part of an automobile's esthetics and is becoming an interactive medium of information."
Audi at 2015 CES
A four‑core processor processing eight billion operations per second. A virtual tachometer with a needle that is rendered anew 60 times per second to ensure absolutely fluid motion. 3D sound to match a concert hall and appearing to come from every direction, an Audi tablet as a multimedia control panel and simple wireless communication between your mobile devices and your car all demonstrate how diverse the future of the automobile is at Audi. All this and convenience, too: piloted parking and innovative Audi wireless charging (AWC) technology pave the way for electric mobility. A laser headlight shining ahead hundreds of feet and a car lapping the famous Hockenheim speedway at 240 km/h (149.1 mph) without a driver – Audi is a leading and driving force in all technology areas relating to electronics and electrics. At CES in Las Vegas, the world's most important electronics exhibition, Audi makes a splash with a host of new technologies
Even today, many customers view their car as more than just a vehicle – it is a "mobile device". Audi drives forward networking of its models both inside and outside the car. At CES, Audi presents a wide range of innovations in the technology fields of controls and displays, infotainment, connectivity and lighting technology, in driver assistance systems and in piloted driving.

When Warpaint were in town a few ago, Damian aka Cam interviewed Stella and Emily from the California indie rock band Warpaint. Earlier this year, they released their sophomore self-titled album and cleared up one of their "unlucky soundbites" about whether or not their music is designed to get stoned to. They also told us why they decided to make their music sound sexier and why they wanted their new album to be sound more universal.
Check out the interview below and watch The Wedge every Sunday at 9:30 AM EST on MUCH.

ezreal or draven or vayne
Guys im kinda lost what to get as a new adc. I finally saved for the 6300 ip. Any ideas? Especiallly for a low elo player who gets afks and noobs with him the whole time
ez will always be a safe choice since his mobility, vayne is a farm to late game champ, draven is a you better win early and know how to micro champ
Ez is a high mobility champ and he scales great late game while vayne has some mobility and draven has a snare the best choice for that group would deffinatly be ezreal because of his mobility damage and long range ult
Vayne requires too much passive play. She's only good if you survive till late game. And Draven lacks mobility. Ez has exception mobility and a strong game start to finish. He's not as strong early game as say...graves or sivir, but he picks up very well in mid and late where having superior mobility is key to re positioning in team fights. |
I personally like EZ and/or vayne.
Ez has great early game damage with his Q, but i find he just cant keep up with vayne late game with vaynes easy right click to win. |
If you're low Elo, Graves is probably easier to be effective with than any other AD carry (although I realize he's not on your list).
I know you didn't mention him, but if you don't already have graves, consider him. Other than that,
Ezreal for soloqueue Vayne for team queue Draven for ****s and giggles |
If you have a friend that's an avid player of Alistar, Blitzcrank, or anyone else with good CC, I would say Vayne.
A friend and I went Vayne & Alistar respectively, and I would knock up then Headbutt the enemy into a wall, then my Vayne would roll near the enemy and shoot him back into the wall which deals additional damage and a 1.5 second stun and we'd get the kill on them every time. This is early game too, so our Vayne would be fed for mid-late game |

Objective We conducted a study to evaluate the relation between environmental, demographic, and medical risk factors and late-onset childhood lead poisoning, defined as children who were poisoned at age 3 or older. Methods We performed a retrospective case–control study of 262 children whose test results showed non-elevated (<10 μg/dl) blood lead levels (BLLs) before age 2 but levels ≥10 μg/dl after age 3 and of 300 control children who had non-elevated BLL test results before age 2 and also after age 3. The target population was children receiving care at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, OH. We modeled the association between demographic and clinical risk factors and BLLs ≥10 μg/dl after age 3. Covariates considered were race, gender, body mass index, immunization status, mean corpuscular volume, hematocrit, red cell volume distribution width (RDW), red blood count, hemoglobin, baseline BLL result, and time between the baseline and second BLL test. Results Case children were more likely to be male (P < 0.0001), black (P = 0.0189) and to have a high RDW defined as ≥14.5 % (P = 0.0083). On the basis of the final model, children with BLLs 7–9 μg/dl before age 2 and again after a follow-up BLL test (<21 months) were more likely to become lead poisoned than were control children. The risk of black children developing lead poisoning increased over time, regardless of the child's first BLL test result. Conclusions Although national recommendations are to test children's blood lead levels at ages 1 and 2, children living in high-risk areas with such risk factors should have a blood lead test at these older ages.

Anybody have any experience with this holster? It's one of the few molded holsters I'm finding that I can order for my particular pistol, and I like the flexability of the design since it an be used OWB, IWB, and tucked. Barring any seriously negative feedback, I'll probably take the plunge in a couple weeks, but I figured I'd check around.

It's been a while since I've been actively online.
But even though temporary, it did changed my perspective on some matters.
It's weird how much the internet can become an influence, and how this process goes so unnoticed. At a certain point the countless voices of people around you blend into a continuous buzz. A buzz that you soon get so familiar with that you forget there was a life before it. I guess that's what social media does in general; creating a buzz. An artificial need for you to continuously be online and check your messages, because you might just miss something otherwise. Life, in general, has become so infused with the internet that it sometimes scares me. I'm part of the internet industry. Hell, I even made it my job! But even I sometimes find myself wondering where the time has gone that I could work on an artwork for hours straight, without feeling that creeping itch to check my messages.
The last few weeks before the break, I've repeatedly felt bad about myself. Why? Basically because people told me I didn't meet their expectations, and I just happen to be a person that hates to fail expectations.
As a kid, I was happy to be creative. Even though I only made drawings for fun, making art was a nice way to spend time and it genuinely felt good to be always full of ideas. As I saw most of my classmates lose their childlike imagination as they grew older and their interests shifted, I used to take pride in the fact that such a thing never happened to me. As most of my classmates submitted to peer pressure, I still followed the voice from within. And until not too long ago, I thought that that was what being an artist was all about.
As of lately, I've gotten quite a view what is the art world is actually about. About the constant struggle from many people that all try their hardest to get one of the few jobs in art and the hostility that comes with that competition. How art school students, that are supposed to be taught to be open-minded and accepting towards all kinds of art, are often the ones that pass the strongest judgement. About that you don't mean shit as an artist, unless you have the job to prove that you have skills. And how hobbyist artists are regarded as inferior because they simply don't earn money and haven't got a thing to prove.
Money. That's what it all about. Living on myself, I can honestly understand that, because having a career is important. As a web developer with 10 years of experience in the industry I'm the least person to tell you that there's no difference between "just messing around with html" and working in the industry. However, hobbyist or professional... we do have something in common. We both love websites. We share our love for the same thing. And that's something so important I cannot stretch it enough.
What this whole thing comes down to?
That many of the people I look up to and I'd love to learn from (often those with professional-level artwork) belong to the above group -- something that isn't exactly motivating. And as we are all influenced by the people around us it's hard to make art my way and follow my own feelings and instincts, when the internet collective tells me that I'm doing it wrong and that I should feel ashamed I put my talent to waste. (For those wondering; that was literally said to me.)
The strength of the internet --that everybody can say what he wants-- has also come to be one of it's major downsides. Downsides that even drove many famous artists to the brink of depression.
It's hard to maintain a sense of "self" within the buzz of people continuously talking about you, your works, your characters, and what you could (or should) represent. I think anyone even remotely known on any place on the internet can confirm that with me. It's even harder when you're an artist and you need this sense of "self" in order to create. Because let's be honest; for most of us our vision of life is the sole reason we create. Or at least for me it is.
My health has slowly gotten stable over the last few weeks. I've seen some doctors, got a new medicine for the migraine attacks, and whatnot. I've been back to training fully again, which I guess kinda helps since the RSI-specific training also strengthens the muscles in my neck. I'm still waiting for the checkup at the hospital, though (Those waiting lists... seriously...). Some days are good, and I try to enjoy them as much as I can. Some days are terrible. I'm still tired pretty often. but it seemed to have stabilized a bit. I think a large part of the tiredness came from trying to force myself to keep up with everything, even while in miserable physical condition. And in that regard, I think taking my distance really helped. I realize now that I can't keep up and that it's not a shame to admit so.
I guess strict moderation is the answer in this case. The answer for shutting myself off from too much negativity. If people in real life talk shit about me, I'm not afraid to tell them to shut the hell up. So why shouldn't I be able to do the same online (by removing and blocking)? It's not like people that deliberately try hurt others have the right to complain about that.
To conclude this (already too long) message I would like to show my thanks to the massive support that I've gained from the DeviantArt community during my break. It's heartwarming to see how many people out here actually bothered to show their support. Either via e-mail, Facebook, or via DeviantArt's private message system. Not people that I know in person, but also people that are complete strangers to me and just happened to learn about my hiatus. Thank you. Thanks a lot!
(Here are some of the kind messages that people send me (and I've already read -- there are still many more).
At this moment, I still have 17.376 messages to catch up to (artworks excluded), from which 7500+ new messages and even more replies to... whatever stuff I made.
I still have to read the replies to my last journal to find out who the winner is from the previously announced "contest".
There are a lot of things going for me at the moment;
Animecon is coming up soon. I'm currently in negotiation with Mangaschool about their schedules, but if everything goes right I might return doing a workshop there... or at least be at the manga-drawing stand there. Which will give you, Dutchies, a chance to say hello and make me help you out with your art.
(for those that were curious about the previous workshop, check the link behind the artwork above)
What also might be interesting, is my upcoming kiriban of 1.000.000 pageviews. I'm still doubting about the prize. It's gonna be either points or a head-shot drawing of your character. The choice is up to you. Whichever gets the most votes will do.
Uploading artwork might still take a while. I have a whole lot of sorting out to do. And as weird as it sounds; I still feel a bit insecure about publishing stuff online again and exposing it to an audience that is even more massive than the day I left. I guess it'll take a bit of time until that feeling is entirely gone. And even aside from that; I've got a lot of sketches and stuff to sort out.
Having learned from previous experience, I'm taking my time to catch up.
So it might take a while before I'm fully operational again. In the meanwhile; please bear with me.
~ See you around!
TLDR version; I'm back

Penn Camera (Washington DC area based camera retail chain), the place I bought my first Canon Elan IIe SLR to start my career eons ago, just declared bankruptcy! Most stores will close immediately (the rest later). All photo finishing will cease. They will not honor gift certificates. I hear that even says their facebook page is down. It's a sad day. Says a lot about where camera retail is going… Does this mean I have to buy immediate-need camera accessories from Best Buy now? Brings me back to my emotions when all the Tower Records music stores closed. Sure I can order what I need online most of the time, but I will miss the tactile interaction of testing out a new product and taking it home.
Rest in peace Penn Camera. You had a good 59 years.

The Application of Sharepoint to Common Business Problems
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The need for decentralization of working resources has a necessity with intensifying globalization. Industries have flexible working practices whereby they have gone out of the office to work in different parts of the world. This was possible due to the advent of technologies. A necessary condition for smooth operations of such businesses is an effective and efficient resource sharing and communication system. As a result of this virtual shrinking of the world, industries across all sectors are facing common challenges in managing their data and communication system effectively. The management of unstructured data and documentation becomes a necessity in such a scenario. This paper seeks to highlight the use of SharePoint, and in particular Microsoft Office SharePoint (MOSS) Server 2007 that can resolve these problems. The paper talks in detail about the flexibility with which MOSS and SharePoint can be used across industries to solve the various problems faced by the business houses. The important features such as - the document management system of MOSS 2007 using meta-data, document control features, enterprise search, SharePoint functionality, designing of a new SharePoint applications, and a successful implementation of SharePoint have been discussed in this study. The use of these applications effectively reduces the business issues which causes not only a loss in productivity but also has long term severe damages on the business.

After six years I just sold my 13 foot Boston Whaler. I picked the boat up in 2006 and it need a good amount of work. I repowered with a new 4-stroke, refinished the wood, re-wired, and made it a fishing machine.
Me, my family, and my friends have had some great times and made some incredible memories in that boat. Fortunately or unfortunately I did a good job on the boat and my father fell in love with it.
When he returned form the Philippines this year he asked if he could buy the Whaler. He wanted to ship the boat back to the islands.
My Pop is 77 years old and still mentally sharp but the thought of him having a boat out there terrified me. But, at this point in his life I believe he has earned the right to have anything he wants. I talked with my brothers and sister and they believe I did the right thing.
So, on Friday night, I towed the Whaler for the last time. My brother and I loaded her into a shipping container. The next time sunlight hits her deck she will be on an island in the South Pacific.

Conestoga CEO, Huelskamp duke it out publicly

A prominent southwest Kansas renewable energy executive claims Congressman Tim Huelskamp bullied him and threatened his business after he questioned Huelskamp following a July 2 Republican primary debate in Liberal between Huelskamp and Alan LaPolice.
Tom Willis, CEO for Conestoga Energy Partners, said he approached Huelskamp, R-Fowler, following the debate to voice concerns one-on-one about some of Huelskamp's recent votes. He expected a political answer, but claims he got something else.
Willis, Liberal, has submitted a letter to the editor, which appears on page four of today's Hays Daily News.
"Congressman Huelskamp lost his temper with me. He threatened me and my business by saying, 'I will make you pay when I get back to D.C.,' " Willis wrote. "He swore to 'remember me for not supporting his candidacy' in Washington."
As a result, Willis, who said he supported Huelskamp with his vote and checkbook the past four years, is urging people to vote against Huelskamp on Aug. 5.
"After seeing this side of our congressman, I now understand his track record of being kicked off nearly every committee he has been assigned to, going back over a decade to his state legislative days," Willis wrote.
Willis also appears in a video ad paid for by a political action committee called Now or Never PAC that asks voters not to support Huelskamp.
Tyler Harber, spokesperson for Now or Never PAC, issued a statement encouraging Kansas voters to "seek alternatives" to Huelskamp.
"The congressman's vote against the critical House farm bill that benefited farmers across Kansas is indicative of his disconnect with his constituents," the statement reads. "He has since been removed from the House Agricultural Committee, and for the first time in 100 years, Kansas has no representation on the committee overseeing the state's primary industry. Kansas' lack of national leadership to protect its farmers marks a concern for voters all across the state."
Based in Kansas City, Mo., the Now or Never PAC is not affiliated with any candidate or candidate's committee. Established in 2012, it supports conservative candidates and causes across the country. Harber said no one hired NONpac; the organization makes independent expenditure decisions on its own.
According to Federal Election Commission filings, Now or Never PAC has spent $108,505 on media production and mailers opposed to Huelskamp. According to the Wall Street Journal, the PAC has spent more than $7.7 million on support or opposition to various candidates since 2012.
Willis said four years ago he thought Huelskamp was someone who would put western Kansas interests before personal politics, and was surprised when the congressman was removed from the Agriculture Committee and voted against the farm bill despite the concerns of farmers and farming organizations in the state.
"With congressmen like this in Washington, is it no wonder why D.C. is broken? We deserve a congressman who fights for Kansas, and not for himself," Willis said.
When asked for comment, Travis Couture-Lovelady, R-Palco, and Huelskamp's campaign manager, said in an emailed response the Willis ad is about wealthy campaign donors demanding political favors, and accused Willis of a personal attack that doesn't deserve a response.
"Suffice it to say that Willis is grumpy because Tim Huelskamp stands on principle against Washington politicians handing out special government benefits to campaign contributors, and Willis and the secret, out-of-state group that paid for the attack ad want to replace Huelskamp with a Congressman who will do their bidding," Couture-Lovelady said.
The Huelskamp campaign also pointed out that Willis is a donor to Huelskamp's primary challenger LaPolice.
According to the Federal Election Commission campaign finance reports, Willis made $2,500 in contributions to Kansas Conservatives for Alan LaPolice in June for the primary election and the general election.
Willis freely admits to donating to the LaPolice campaign after growing disillusioned with Huelskamp.
"As a concerned constituent and farmer, I believe it is time we change who we send to Washington, D.C. It's clear our congressman is tone deaf to the interests of Kansas agriculture, as well as the jobs and economic impact provided to this area of the state," Willis said.
Couture-Lovelady also said that during the post-debate conversation, Willis promised to contribute to Huelskamp if Huelskamp would change his position to support special preferences for Conestoga.
"Tim Huelskamp is not going to be bullied by anyone or any special interest group, no matter how big their checkbook," Couture-Lovelady said. "His only special interest is the people of Kansas and the principles which we believe."
Willis called Huelskamp's assertion implying some sort of bribe a lie.
"I flatly deny what Congressman Huelskamp is accusing me of," Willis said. "That did not happen, whatsoever."
Willis said he approached Huelskamp to talk about ag policy and also explained the reasons he wasn't supporting Huelskamp in the upcoming election.
"The thing I most disagree with Tim on is how he goes about trying to get stuff done," Willis said. "I agree with 98 percent of the conservative principles he stands for, but he doesn't get along with people, he's been kicked off committee after committee, and I do not agree with that. You can't be an effective leader if you can't even get your own party to rally around you and support you."
LaPolice, who is challenging Huelskamp in the Aug. 5 Republican primary, said Huelskamp's threats were the "most inappropriate thing I've ever heard."
While he thinks voters ought to know about Huelskamp's behavior, LaPolice said he had nothing to do with Willis's letter or the PAC's ad.
"He shouldn't represent Kansas," LaPolice said of Huelskamp. "It doesn't surprise me that he would attack someone who doesn't agree with him. Isn't that what he promises to do -- fight aggressively with anyone and everyone not 100 percent aligned with him? This is another embarrassment for our district, and another reason his approach must change."
