Jozef Szekeres
Jozef Szekeres (born 4 July 1970) is an Australian artist, animator, writer, toy designer, sculptor, creative director and Arts Lecturer, and a director of the Black Mermaid Productions creative team based in Australia. He is best known for his doll creation Elizabet Bizelle launched through his company Jozef Szekeres Dolls, released in 2003. He was a finalist in the Australian Cartoonist Association Stanley Awards 2011, with nominations for Best Australian Illustrator and Australian Comic Book Artist.[1]
He co-created and illustrated the comic book series ElfQuest – WaveDancers circa 1993–94, and is currently in production of a new comic book series called Elf-Fin:Hyfus & Tilaweed in collaboration with co-creator Julie Ditrich, using the original characters and concepts they created for the previous series. A preview was released April 2011, with a later edition released in May 2013.[2][3][4]
Early life[edit]
Szekeres was born in Blacktown, Sydney, and grew up near Gosford on the Central Coast of NSW, graduating in 1988 from the Central Coast Grammar School in Erina, Central Coast. He attended the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in the Music Composition School, but did not graduate. In 1989 he moved to the Sydney CBD to work at the Walt Disney Animation Australia Studio, now known as DisneyToon Studios, and was the youngest animator employed there at that time.
At Walt Disney Animation Australia,[5] he was a principal animator on a series of films and TV series.
On Aladdin: The Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Thieves, he animated both Jasmine and Aladdin, creating reference maquettes of both characters. He did development work on Belle for Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas 2. On The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea, he animated the Ariel, Melody and Prince Eric characters. On Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure, he focused on human characters, such as the adult Wendy and the mermaids in Return to Never Land. He also sculpted a reference maquette of Wendy. His final work for DisneyToons Australia was on The Jungle Book 2 as senior animator on Shanti.
He also did extensive work on Disney television productions,[6] such as title and episode animation of both Tarzan and Jane for Tarzan & Jane. He did character development work and animation on the lead female role Dylandra for the Bonkers (TV series), and Jasmine and Aladdin on the Aladdin (TV series). On the Gargoyles (TV series), Szekeres animated key sequences of Elisa Maza[7] and Goliath for the "Seeing Isn't Believing" episode. Other television work includes Goof Troop, Darkwing Duck, and Winnie the Pooh.
As a freelance 2D animator and animation director, he created television commercials for both Australian and international markets. Most notably Finlandia Vodka Pulp,[8] Mr Sheen, Strongbow Cider Cyborg and Blowtorch, Cafe with Billy for Nescafe, The Fifth Finger for KitKat, and FantasticRiceCrackers for Fantastic.[9]
Szekeres animated the full episodes of Boy from Woy (TV 1999) (with additional animation done by Steve Moltzen) for Mudfish, and for Catflap Animation Petals: Windy Weather (TV 1998). Outside of animation but still in the film industry, Szekeres was also a conceptual designer on the feature films, Dark City and Cut, and has worked occasionally over the past 15 years with MEG (Make-up Effects Group Studio) on their commercials and feature films as a conceptualist and sculptor.
Comic Books[edit]
Szekeres left Walt Disney Animation Australia for the first time in 1993 to pursue illustrating the comicbook series ElfQuest/WaveDancers[10][11][12] which he co-created with Julie Ditrich and Bruce love of Black Mermaid Productions. As the work was securely co-created by this trio, the rights to the WaveDancers' characters (both design and story elements, excluding any ElfQuest aspects) are now held by Black Mermaid Productions in Sydney Australia,[13] ComicShopNews1999.WaveDancers Come Home wherein they are creating new stories and artwork utilising these characters in a new series called Elf-Fin: Hyfus & Tilaweed.[14]
After ElfQuest/WaveDancers, Szekeres worked with Sirius Entertainment on their Safety-Belt Man comic book series for two issues, before undertaking Erik Larsen's character in the Dart miniseries published by Image Comics. Originally intended to be the beginnings of Dart, it was deemed many years later not to be cannon by Larsen.[15]
Szekeres returned to Sirius Entertainment in 1999 to work with Joseph Michael Linsner and his Dawn character (at that time published by Sirius), and created new mermaid representations of the Goddess character for two publications, Dreams of Dawn Wizard #1/2, and Dawn: Return of the Goddess #3.[16]
After over a decade of absence from the comic-book medium, Szekeres has returned to work with long time co-creator Julie Ditrich on Elf-Fin: Hyfus & Tilaweed,[17] first published in 2011.
Szekeres' illustration works have been collected several times in books/magazines/journals, highlights being Stripped Uncensored and Completely Stripped published 2009 and 2010 respectively in Germany by Bruno Gmünder,[18][19][20][21] as well as featuring in leading campaigns, such as the 2007 Sydney Mardi Gras,[22][23][24] and 2008 Sleaze Ball (which is also part of the Sydney Mardi Gras). For the 2008 Sleaze Ball, titled Villains Lair, a collector card set consisting of 16 of Szekeres's villainous artworks created specifically for the event were released for members and partygoers. Szekeres released his own collector card set (or loose leaf book) The Art of Jozef Szekeres: Mermaids & Mermers[25] in 2008 collecting 100 artworks, they range from unpublished pieces early in his career to his most recent published works of that time.
Szekeres worked in the gaming industry as a senior illustrator/animator for Aristocrat from 2001-2006. His work includes: Dinosaur, Queen of Sheba, Antony and Cleopatra, Butterfly Kiss (cover of the Aristocrat 2008 NSW Catalogue), Love Stuck, Wild Waratah, Heart of Vegas (used for an Aristocrat Catalogue cover), Miss Kitty, Moonlight Waltz.
As a freelancer Szekeres created gaming art packages for The Last King of Egypt and Treasured Discovery for NexGen. He also released game highlights for TrueBlue: Fire Chief for Atronic 2009, World Safari for IGT 2010, Aztec Beauty for Aruze 2011.
Szekeres has undertaken various sessions for the ASA Comics/Graphic Novels Portfolio, and sequential art industry-related talks for the Australian Society of Authors (ASA). (2008–2011).
Supanova (2007–2011).
Various workshops to adults and children on 'Creating Comics' with other Black Mermaid Productions directors. Presented workshops at: Casula High School, Terrigal High School, St Edwards College (Central Coast), and spent a week lecturing in Broken Hill at assorted venues, sponsored by the Broken Hill City Library.
OzCon panel sessions on comics sequential art.
Course lecturing at the JMC Academy in the Sydney campus (2010–2011)
Guest lecturing and Art Direction on location in Austria for Novomatic (2011)
Sculptor/Toy Designer[edit]
Szekeres has had a fascination with figural sculpture from childhood,[26] early in his career sculpting maquettes for Disney's Aladdin and Jasmine,[27][28][29] Dylandra[30] and adult Wendy.[31] Szekeres further explored sculpture adding new sculptural elements to Barbie and G.I. Joe purchased toy parts.[32]
In 2003, Szekeres released his first fashion character/doll Elizabet Bizelle (with sister character Kotalin Bizelle) titled Dangerous Discovery, the first Australian created fashion doll.[33][34][35][36][37]
In 2006, Szekeres released his doll editions Elizabet Bizelle Lady in Red, and Kotalin Bizelle Birthday Bash.[38][39][40][41][42]
2000 Sydney Millennium Olympic Games[edit]
The 2000 Sydney Mascots, Ollie, Syd and Millie, were designed by Jozef Szekeres and Matt Hatton, being three native Australian animals. They represent earth, air and water.
"Olly" – (from Olympic), a kookaburra, epitomises the Olympic spirit of generosity and universal generosity.
"Syd" – (from Sydney), a platypus, represents the environment and captures the vigor and energy of Australia and its people.
"Millie" – (from Millennium), an echidna, is a techno-whiz and information guru, with all the facts and figures at her fingertips.
Also in this role, Szekeres created the original three-dimensional physical sculptures/maquettes of the Macots.
Szekeres had his first solo art exhibition in Sydney November 2011. Guest speaker at the launch night was Colleen Doran.[43] The Exhibition was curated by Charles Heyen.

"Elisa had Jasmine's eyes, Pocahontas's physique, and Jessica Rabbit's walk. You had to see THAT to believe it. :-)" – Juan F. Lara. "I animated quite a bit of Elisa footage for this episode. There were some really fun close ups that I did. I remember a walk to camera that I did of Elisa that was sexy as... Plus a transformation scene which I really liked. I really didn't know much about the series when we did the episode. I don't think it was screening in Australia at the time, and we had only a few episodes as reference. I basically animated Elisa as I wanted to see her, and have fun with it. It was treated like a throw away project, a fill-in, and time filler, so the lead up time that we would usually get to "know" a character was not there, so we (all) pretty much did them as we wanted to do them. I mostly animated the female leads during my time with Disney, and so, I was the guy that animated love scenes and scenes where the female leads needed to be feminine and/or sexy. So, I just went to town on Elisa." – Jozef Szekeres

WaveDancers concerns a group of elves who live in a novel location – beneath the surface of the water! Written by Julie Ditrich and Bruce Love and illustrated by Jozef Szekeres, all of whom live in Australia. "They came to us with a proposal," Richard Remembers, "but were a little bit hesitant, because they were afraid to muck around with the ElfQuest universe. We took a look at it and started saying, "Please! Muck around!" So yes, WaveDancers will be part of the official continuity. In the first storyline, there are connections between these elves and the other ones on the World of Two Moons. As the series progresses, there will be more of an awareness between the different groups of elves on the planet." The series' narrative will be broken up into six-issue arcs. "The story comes to an end like all ElfQuest stories," Richard says, "but if sales are good and we're all happy, we'd love to have them stay with us for quite some time to come. Jozef Szekeres, like so many of the other artists we work with, comes from animation. He worked with Disney on things like the new Aladdin TV show, but he's putting that on hold to work with Warp Graphics. We're flattered, to put it mildly!.

Towards the year's end, we'll publish a fourth title, WaveDancers. This is the story of a tribe of elves that splintered off from the main group early on in their history and went under the sea, as it were: it's written by Julie Ditrich and Bruce Love, with art by Jozef Szekeres. There'll be some crossover between the major ElfQuest characters and the WaveDancers.

Beautifully weighing the charming earlier scenes of the cheerful Mers with the encroaching darkness at book's end, the story brings to life a rich and complex universe with an entire culture just waiting to be explored... and is described beautifully in Szekeres' dynamic and broadly colourful palette. This is truly exquisite comic book artwork of an underwater world in which viewers won't have trouble seeing Szekeres' Disney history, with extraordinary character movement and expression exploding richly from every page. Use of computers appears limited with Szekeres instead employing traditional methods much of the time to create the artwork. this lends an honesty not apparent in many of today's over-saturated superhero comics and better places us in the depths of the underwater world. No doubt the temptation to utilise technology to over-paint the world existed, and Szekeres' work is commendable in its restraint. It's a major flaw in comics when the artwork doesn't suit the story or vice versa, but here the two are in perfect harmony, Ditrich's writing bringing us gently into the world (thought not spoon-feeding us) and Szekeres making sure we stay there when we arrive. This is a unique comic exploration of a subject rarely engaged and certainly never crafted in such magnificent fashion.

Behind every great poster is an artist, and the artist behind this year's iconic Mardi Gras poster is multitalented Sydney artist Jozef Szekeres. Posters can make or break an event, fulfilling myriad informational and marketing functions in one foul swoop and offering punters, partygoers and kids on the streets a way of connecting with an event for whatever reason. The artist responsible for this year's Mardi Gras poster is local lad Jozef Szekeres who drew on his experiences growing up in Australia to help create the poster's artwork. Seeing his art as the poster child and "face" of Mardi Gras 2007 is something Szekeres says fills him with a huge rush, no matter how many times he sees it.

Barcelona pulls ahead of Atletico
BARCELONA, Spain (AP)
Lionel Messi scored two goals and set up another to help Barcelona brush aside Rayo Vallecano 6-0 and keep its share of the Spanish league lead on Saturday, after fellow pacesetter Atletico Madrid rolled over Valladolid 3-0.
Barcelona's big win, which included the scoring return of Neymar after a monthlong injury absence, came three days before it visits Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
Barcelona punished a visiting Rayo side intent on trying to deploy a similar precision passing attack and was unfortunate to head into halftime only up 2-0 from Adriano's second-minute opener and Messi's lob in the 36th.
The hosts found their finishing touch in the second half, as Messi struck again along with Alexis Sanchez, Pedro Rodriguez and Neymar.
Messi's double gave him 228 goals in league play at the age of 26, tying him with Raul Gonzalez as the competition's third all-time leading scorer. Telmo Zarra holds the record with 251.
The Argentina forward appears to have regained his full fitness following a two-month injury layoff with four goals in his last two games. And while Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino rested Xavi Hernandez to have him fresh for City, Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas picked apart Rayo with their passing.
Atletico likewise dominated its home match after Raul Garcia scored three minutes in and seconds later passed for Diego Costa to double the advantage with his 21st league goal of the season. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and striker David Villa returned from injury absences for Atletico.
Atletico's win ended a run of three straight losses before it visits AC Milan on Wednesday in the Champions League.
Barcelona and Atletico opened up a provisional three-point advantage over Real Madrid before it plays at Getafe on Sunday.
Rayo and Valladolid, meanwhile, remained in the relegation zone along with Real Betis.
Adriano has scored several long-range goals for Barcelona, and the Brazilian defender struck again from outside the box to get Barcelona going just moments after the whistle.
Scroll through this week's best images from the world of soccer.
Rayo's insistence to try and work the ball up the pitch with short passes played into Barcelona's pressure and resulted in a slew of chances for the defending champions.
Messi hit the right post after Sergio Busquets recovered the ball in the 14th, and four minutes later Pedro Rodriguez rattled the left upright.
Messi forced goalkeeper Ruben Martinez to make a pair of saves before Fabregas intercepted another errant pass and spotted Messi completely unmarked near Rayo's box. Messi dribbled forward and easily chipped the ball over Martinez to double the lead.
Messi found Alexis all alone to beat Martinez in the 53rd and tally his team-leading 15th league goal of the season, and three minutes later Pedro tapped in a short pass from Fabregas, who was played clear by Iniesta's deft back-heeled flick.
Messi took his second goal in the 68th with a left-footed shot just inside the upright, and Neymar capped the rout in the 89th after he came on as a substitute.
The Brazil striker, who had been out since hurting his right ankle on Jan. 16, dribbled past several defenders before unleashing a long-range strike that sailed in over Martinez.

Thanks ^^
Proud to be azn LOLOL XD Fan of anime and video games
Thanks ^^
Sorry for late reply. I don't visit moddb much these days :/. Well in terms of me, this mod is dead since I myself am no longer working on it. I don't even have the files for it anymore haha Loozzer, one of the members of the team behind LBZ said that they would be working on an improved port to alpha version but I have no idea how that is going and if it is still being worked on.
Don't really care that it's not an anime :P It's much better than most animes anyway
feel free to visit: Timtam13.deviantart.com
I want them to animate this arc
thanks ^^
Yeah was hoping nobody would notice that xD
very true :D
Thanks :)
Thanks ^^
Hahaha yes! people like you XD
Haha thanks. But there are some insanely good people who are 10x better than me as well out there XD
This image just reminded me to start this anime :D I said I was going to ages ago but I forgot until now.
Maybe 2-3 hours. Not sure because I drew this over a couple of days a little bit at a time.
Thanks ^^
Thankyou :D
Thanks :) I'm starting to get used to the tablet and the program
Nope but i've heard some good things from it. Might watch it one day
Anyone know any good short anime(maybe 10-30 eps) preferably with some action and comedy but anything will do really. Also a series that is relatively new and has good animation. Just looking for something quick and interesting to watch as i wait for weekly eps and chapters to come out for the long ongoing series I watch.
haha thanks :)
thanks :D
this is awesome :D
thanks man :)
Hmm only solution I can recommend is redownloading and following the steps again. No guarantee it will work but worth a try
Thanks :) my main weak point is currently shading so I wanted to practice some different techniques and combined both ink and pencil shading. I like how it worked out so might do more in the future ^^
thanks :D
Thanks ^^
Thankyou :)
Thanks :D
Thankyou :D
Thanks :D I prefer normal proportions as well but they are more difficult to draw xD
Thankyou :D and me too. I really love the thick lines and use of black shading for this style.
Pretty much the smartest guys in the world minus Light
Thanks :) and yeah arm/hand proportions are my biggest weaknesses. I'll try and work on that haha
Is it just me or do his arms look kind of short.
Anyone can join or help. Just add the work you have done to this page since is open to the public and then just credit yourself :)
spirit bomb?
game is getting better. Still think the terrain should look better though
Kanade ftw. I don't know who the other girl is tho
thanks :)
it looks kinda boring and generic. Draw inspiration from existing fighting games like the dbz games, tekken and street fighter. Their huds look really cool.
Oh ok thanks. I'll fix that up next time I draw :)
thanks for feedback. Yeah the face is the hardest to get right for me so theres always something thats a bit off about it. The head itself isnt that big but her hair makes it look massive haha
i really need to watch this
Great work! Much better
nice. fencing skill :D
I'm amazed how you can make such good quality work so fast
thanks :) I kinda messed up the eyes though, the one on the left is a bit big
Yea the NNK one looks great
should be sexier lol. like make 'her' winking, bigger boobs, more curves etc like in the anime/manga
that lighting :0
nice, looks epic
yea i know and its still going so that makes over 500 eps XD
LOL i dont even know who that character is
i might start one piece soon but its kinda hard once you realise it has over 500 eps -_-"
i want this version soooo bad!! It has a better level editor and unlimited powerlevel!
face looks weird but overall it looks pretty good
awesome! im guessing you die if you fall off the edge?
pretty cool and orihime looks hot :P
I have a bleach mod thats alive and very much active:
Check it out if you like bleach :)
The girl, chrome is like the representative of Mukuro so hes here instead of her in the picture
They can but theyre probably good enough as it is
ok cool. looking forward to it
Other people can test if they like. just pm me and i'll send you a link :)
pretty good
Very cool. some of the moves look similar to my custom moves XD
thank youu :D
yea its bleach. it says in the description :P Girl on the right is byakuya, middle one is aizen and left one is ichigo i think
it whirls around ingame so it should look better than it does here
pretty epic
thanks guys :D
finally an ingame shot. very nice
it isnt made by the lbz team
nice work :)
I'll link them to lbz forum tutorials :)
its not dead. look at their site for info :)
no i did not draw this so no i dont do concept work for other mods. i just found it on google LOL. I wish i could draw like this though XD
looks good
looks cool as
thanks :) I can't really think of anything else to get help with though but thanks for offering.
i think you need to install this first:
LOL thanks
Thanks, one of my best probably.
Only one i know here is Winry LOL
yea lbz models are easy to edit. Ikkaku was especially easy because its just the krillin model fused with the ichigo model.
3rd form frieza should be more hunchback with the head lower down the body like this:
kinda looks like budokai tenkaichi 3 style :)
looks epic
the textures look very anime-like which is good :)
thanks :)
looks pretty cool. whoever made this pic did a good job :)
well theyre meant to be lemming like and lemmings dont have mouths
hmm i thought tenten only uses weapons justu but the effects look cool here
oh i see
Looks cool but i thought rock lee couldnt walk on water cos he cant control his chakra
LOL thank you for the suggestion
awesome ^^
thanks and no i do not speak spanish LOL
yes i was planning on changing the graphic for it in future to a smaller and sleeker looking arrow
no i ask some of the people on lbz3d.com and they said it was not possible to make them homing. but if they find a way then i shall impliment it.
LOL its ulquiorra but i still havent done his avatar pic yet and the other dude is Ichigo
i planning to do them but they are harder to model than some of the other models but ill try to add them
and he has a weird habit of stripping o.O
what about Erza?
Ulquiorra's 2nd release form coming soon...hopefully
lol good point. Ill give him an eyepatch for his base form and without an eyepatch for his transformation.
thats wrong?!? thats how ive been doing it...
um about the email u sent me: sorry i dont make mods anymore so if your looking for new mods ask the mod-team :)
btw could u post some of your manga for us to see
looking good :D
in that case...HADOUUKEN!!!!
lol theres people ripped in half in the background.
this cosplay is pretty good. :)
there some styles that ignore real life anatomy like SD or chibi style drawings :) And im not good at getting body proportions right so thats what im good at :D
theyre not that out of proportion, hitsugaya does have small hands lol but i admit i made them a bit small. you didnt need to tell me study the anatomy though :/
i fear this will be deleted soon...but for now :P
well i actually did make it and i told you i did but i never had time to send it to you just like i dont have time to mod anymore.
all the knightmares in R2 are awesome
hair should be more like vegetas and less like gokus :)
used to be my favorite show wen i was little :)
looks awesome :D
hey is that goten in the top right?o.O
d gray man huh? my friend told me about it. he said it had some guy who has a special arm that changes or something.
this looks great. i hope the transformation will be cool too:D
broadcasting restrictions have become stricter in japan so they have to do some censorship. They also changed her appearance in her unreleased form(the top is longer in the anime to cover her boobs more)
It is not yet completed. it will be part of the next modpack which is under construction.:)
dont really know what gundam characters look like but code geass has mechs in it like gundam:)
omg first time sai shows so much emotion.xD
ha lol! But some of its kinda racist:)
thats quite a lot of pics you got uploaded.xD
ok but plz send me the model.
oh well we can just add new textures to make luigi and the transformations.
Hey Hazel do you still have the fire mario transformation? xADAMx was an awesome modeller^^
I tried but it looked really bad cos im not the best modeller. The scouter on the other pic is 3d because it is ripped from other models. None of the lbz models would have mask to rip.:)
okay heres what happened:I opened the normal sasuke file into paint. I tried to use the dark red colour for the hair but when i selected the dark red it appears as a weird brownish colour. I save it as 24-bit and the colours are fine again. Then when i compile the texture file has to be changed back to 256-bit. Then i do that and the colours are changed.:)
oh and credits to quilzinhoo for the original sasuke model. I just retextured it.:)
The head colour is different cos paint changed all the colours so i had to try to get the colours back but i didnt get it exactly the same.
ha this made by me! See the signature? Lol just kidding. the new starters look really weird.
omg ive always wanted a pen tablet. Too expensive though...
probably but while it last its funny.:)
She is blood related. And true a lot of crazy sh*t does happen.
This looks epic.:)
wtf? How is that even possible?xD
piachu10 FTW! jks
Her chin/face looks too square. Minus that it is a cool pic.:)
Just wondering why hasnt there been any updates for lbz here at moddb
When he died i was rly surprised cos i had known of him like all my life. He was an australian icon.
Nah i watch japanese with subs.:)
He dies? I havent watched up to that yet. I only just started shipuuden.0_0
Fail editing but still lol.xD
lol! Those drawings look exactly like the real dbz ones.
Goku is gonna pwn naruto.xD
I was dissapointed when he died because he was a cool character but i found it weird that he got revived.
Yeah the piano should be one an angle. Unless the town is on a huge slope.XD
Roshi's (4 tails) is a monkey not the dragon type thing there, Han's(5 tails) is a dolphin horse not a wolf, Utataka's(6 tails) is a slug and Fu's(7 tails) is a horned beetle. Looked it up on naruto wikia cos it didnt look right in the picture you got.
I'll try to make his first form but if not maybe quilzinhoo can try.
Yeah I know my texturing wasn't very good and Sephiroth is planned.
Oh didn't look around the lbz page enough.XD
Looks cool but his arms look a bit awkward there.

Shoppers of dietary supplements generally are the healthier customers who are in your stores fairly frequently to purchase their vitamins, minerals or supplements.
For diet aids, it's not very surprising to see that the largest marketing spike coincides with people's New Year's resolutions at the beginning of the year.
Pharmavite earlier this year launched a product that capitalizes on two current growth trends — immunity supplements and the gummy format.
NBTY earlier this year expanded its Osteo Bi-Flex franchise with a line of joint care supplements "plus" — as in joint care plus energy or joint care plus muscle support.
Three supplement categories are really helping to drive the business today.
With tens and possibly hundreds of billions of dollars in potential savings still snagged in a regulatory limbo, federal lawmakers and health industry stakeholders strongly urged the Food and Drug Administration last month to knock down the final barriers to review and approval of biosimilar drugs for marketing in the United States.
The pharmaceutical industry is back. Fueled by the launch of expensive, new biotech medicines, rising prices for both branded and generic drugs and a recent slowdown in branded-drug patent expirations and generic competition, the U.S. pharmaceutical market is staging a remarkable resurgence.
We didn't go crazy making a lot of predictions for 2015. That's because 2015 is the year so many of our past predictions will come true, as the forces of healthcare consumerism and mobile technology collide to forever change the way health care is purchased, consumed and delivered. Call it the Big Bang of retail health.
Beauty is a big business with diverse outlets for consumption. To help suppliers and retailers better understand who is buying, what they are buying and where they are buying, Drug Store News this month hosted an exclusive webinar from consumer analytics company TABS Group, "2014 Insights into the Beauty Consumer."
Grocer Fresh & Easy has reinvigorated its brand and its stores with a focus on more fresh and natural foods, and is bringing this mission to life through a pilot in Las Vegas.

My roomates and I are new to gardening! need help!
Hi everybody,
I live in NYC, and my roommates and I want to create a rooftop garden using containers. I have some general questions though? What kind of materials do we need? We already know we want to use a mixture of pots and wading pools, and want to have as much organic produce as possibles. Here are some things we want to grow: lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, spinach, pumpkin, squash, greens, broccoli, peas, beans, watermelon, and some herbs.
If you guys could help us get started, it would be most appreciate. Thanks.
Sorry no one responded to you earlier. It is certainly not too late to start in NYC.
You will need some very large pots and full sun for tomatoes. I'd suggest using a patio or cherry variety for your first try. It's probably best to buy a couple of plants rather than start them from seed at this point.
Lettuce, spinach and herbs can be easily grown in pots, even in a bright window. If they are in full sun, you might move them to a partly shaded location when it gets really hot so that they don't bolt and go to seed too early. Stagger your plantings every few weeks.
I have been told that sugar snap peas grow well in a big hanging pot. Just let them trail down instead of trying to stake them up. Certainly worth a try!
Squash, pumpkin and watermelon... whew. Those could be tough in containers. They need full sun, lots of space to trail, and a long growing season.
For fertilizer, I suggest making compost tea using a quality compost from a reputable garden center. Liquid fish emulsion is great for the leafy greens, but don't use it if there are any cats on the roof!
The other thing to keep in mind with a roof top garden is that in order to avoid having to water every 5 minutes, you need a decent depth of soil.
And soil is HEAVY -- 100-120 pounds per cubic foot. Just because you can walk around on the roof, doesn't necessarily mean it's strong enough to support containers.
You may also need to make sure the surface of the roof is protected. Often people put up decking, or some kind of panels to protect the tar paper, or the asphalt. and that adds some weight as well.
I don't mean to discourage you, because there's a ton of stuff you can do with a rooftop garden, but nothing can bum you out faster than your landlord finding out the leaks in the neighbors ceiling are coming from your produce!
Just be sure to check the structural strength of the roof before you starting designing. and then enjoy!
One thing I do is to put a potted plant into a takeout plastic container full of water so it can draw up the water as needed.
I like to keep these containers in part sun so they don't dry up if I forget them. This is particularly helpful for plants that are small.
I really think you should check out some of the posts in the container gardening forum. Your best bet for growing veggies on a roof in NYC will be to use very lightweight potting media and fertilization with every watering. That is how the upscale restaurants do it there. Basically you are going to be creating a "to waste" hydroponics system. But don't let that discourage you. A "to waste" system is very simple. All you have to do is mix up some fertilizer in a watering can and water you pots. I'm not talking about a recirculating system or anything like that. The materials you are going to want to use are things like pumice or turface (a calcined clay product). There is also Axis which is a mined diotomaceous earth product that is substantially lighter than turface.
Now with regards to being organic, this is possible but the fertilizers are going to be a bit more expensive. You will probably need to buy your ferts from a hydroponics store.
If you use a potting medium like turface you will be able to use that medium over and over and over again. If you try to use organic "soil", it will break down and depending on how fine the soil was to begin with will only last 2 maybe 3 years tops before you have to lug all that soil back down from the roof and replace it by lugging new soil all the way back up. Container culture is vastly different than growing plants in the ground. The plants exhaust the organic nutrients in the pots very quickly at which point they have to be supplied by you.

Progressive Media Advocates
By Tom Degan

Steve Hochstadt: The Republicans in Congress, virtually all of whom publically deny that climate change is occurring, have just proposed a budget which cuts or reverses all the programs which might reduce the pace of warming.

Best Sports Announcer (2007)
Mike Haynes
The worst thing that's happened to the radio broadcasts of Avalanche games is also the best thing that's happened to television coverage of the team. The irrepressible Mike Haynes, who's now a permanent fixture in the TV booth after establishing himself in the older medium, brings the same elements to Altitude that made him such a favorite among the Fan's listeners: seemingly bottomless enthusiasm, an inimitable style and a knack for saying (and, often, screaming) the very thing that Avs boosters are thinking but can't quite articulate. Most announcers merely call games. Haynes brings them to life -- and now he does so in living color.
