I would have to agree with you Ted. It is not something that I like.
I like good looking Bonsai's that can be somewhat contorted, but my personal choice is lifted up in a nice pot.
Personal choices I guess.
Hi Ted, yes these plants have been spotted and spoken about here on the forum some time ago. Personally I don't care for them one bit, but that's just my thoughts!

Whoa. I can only imagine the amount of bother that went into these things!
Here is a link that might be useful:
What do I think? Cruelty!
If the pic that Fake shows us is natural, I can cope with that, it's those unmentionalbe carved ones I hate, the animals etc...a plant is a PLANT!

Peavy and White Sox power past Rays Apr 26, 2013 10:56 PM
Jake Peavy pitched well into the seventh and the White Sox supported him with three homers to rally from a three-run deficit and beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 Friday night.
Ramirez's error costly for Sox Apr 20, 2013 6:39 PM

Quinn spokeswoman to lead agency that runs U.S. Cellular Field Nov 1, 2012 6:29 PM
The small state agency that runs the home of the Chicago White Sox will be led by Gov. Pat Quinn's chief spokeswoman over the objections of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, board members decided Thursday. The board of the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority cited "budget and communications expertise" in choosing Quinn's communications director, Kelly Kraft, who had the governor's backing. However, Emanuel had tried to block her appointment by publicly questioning her qualifications and experience. The governor later accused Emanuel and his allies of "character assassination."
Johnsons 3 HRs lead White Sox past Indians 9-0 Oct 3, 2012 10:51 PM
Dan Johnson doesnt save himself for the seasons final game. It just looks that way. Johnson hit his first three homers of the year and his teammates hit two more as the White Sox routed the Cleveland Indians 9-0 on Wednesday night. Theres not much of a greater feeling for me than watching a ball going over the fence as you jog to first, said Johnson, who hit 28 homers in the minors this year before the White Sox purchased his contract on Sept. 1. Gavin Floyd (12-11) gave up three hits over seven innings. He struck out six, one short of getting 145 strikeouts for the fifth straight season despite being on the disabled list twice. Johnson twice connected for two-run homers off David Huff (3-1). His 424-foot shot in the second inning was his first in more than a year. His second made it 7-0 in the fifth, two batters after Paul Konerko hit his 26th. It was Johnsons fifth career multihomer game and first time he hit three. Hes the first player to hit three in a game against Cleveland since Konerko in July 2009. Dayan Viciedo hit his 25th homer, third in three nights and sixth against Cleveland in the ninth, followed by Johnsons third. Johnson had not hit a homer since his dramatic pinch-hit shot for Tampa Bay saved the Rays 2011 season on the final night. His two-out, two-strike solo drive in the ninth inning tied the score at 7. The Rays had trailed 7-0 and beat the New York Yankees 8-7 in 12 innings to make the playoffs. When I hit my first one tonight, somebody said, `What is it about game 162 and you? Johnson said. To be honest, I wasnt thinking about that. When I went up in the ninth, A.J. (Pierzynski) told me that Longo (Tampa Bays Evan Longoria) hit three tonight. I was not going to let him show me up. Johnson hopes he can build on his performance next year, whether it is with the White Sox or another organization. I always say, `Play every at-bat like it is your last, Johnson said. I went out and gave it my best. I try to do that every day. The Indians finished at 68-94, their third season of 90-plus losses in four years, though the young team played hard in the final week and went 3-3 for interim manager Sandy Alomar Jr. I gained a ton of experience in six days, said Alomar, who will interview for the fulltime job on Thursday. Im kind of glad I got the opportunity to manage the team. This was a wonderful experience for myself. Terry Francona, who guided Boston to World Series titles in 2004 and 2007, will make his pitch to the club Friday Hes seeking to return to managing after being dismissed a year ago when the Red Sox folded and were edged out by Tampa Bay. I cant match Terrys resume and only control what I can do, Alomar said before the game. I am confident I can do the job. Chicago went 4-11 down the stretch to place second to Detroit after leading the AL Central by three games on Sept. 18. Robin Venturas 85 wins are the most for a first-year White Sox manager since Gene Lamont won 86 in 1992. Lamont is the Tigers third-base coach. Before the game, general manager Kenny Williams addressed the discouraging end to an otherwise good season. We didnt win enough games, so were going home, Williams said. I cant say enough about these guys for their effort. I can be only so disappointed for not closing this thing out. All we had to do was take care of business on our last road trip. Wed be getting prepared for the playoffs. You have to play your whole schedule. No excuses and none needed. They literally gave everything they could. Floyd allowed only a two-out single by Lonnie Chisenhall in the first until Jason Kipnis lined a one-out single in the sixth. The right-hander is 4-1 the past two years and 8-4 in his career against Cleveland. Hector Gimenez bounced a two-out RBI single up the middle to make it 3-0 in the fifth. Huff gave up nine hits over 4 2-3 innings. Only three runs charged to him were earned. A throwing error by third baseman Chisenhall made Chicagos entire four-run fifth unearned. NOTES: Konerko is due to have left wrist surgery Thursday. ... Cleveland RF Shin-Soo Choo extended his career-best hitting streak to 13 games with an eighth-inning single. ... Chicago 1B Adam Dunn did not play, finishing with 222 strikeouts, one shy of the major-league record set by Mark Reynolds with Arizona in 2009. ... The Indians 110 stolen bases are their most since taking 113 in 2000. ... Cleveland scored 667 runs in 2012, down 37 from 2011. ... DH Travis Hafner went 1 for 4 and got a standing ovation in his final at-bat of what could have been his last game for Cleveland. The Indians likely will pay the oft-injured 35-year-old a $2.7 million buyout instead of picking up his $13 million option for 2013. ... Clevelands total home attendance of 1,603,596 was its second-lowest since 1992, not quite 213,000 ahead of 2010.
White Sox lose to Indians in 12 Oct 2, 2012 10:27 PM
Jason Donald singled home the winning run with two outs in the 12th inning, lifting the Cleveland Indians over the White Sox 4-3 on Tuesday night. White Sox starter Jake Peavy took a one-hitter and a 3-1 lead into the ninth. Michael Brantley led off with a singl and pinch hitter Travis Hafner followed with a tying homer.
Slumping Sox fall to Rays, two games out of first Sep 29, 2012 8:07 PM
Manager Robin Ventura offered a blunt assessment of his team's play Saturday in one of the most important games of the season. The White Sox managed just four hits and ace Chris Sale didn't get out of the fourth inning as the Tampa Bay Rays rolled to a 10-4 victory. "When he doesn't locate, I think that was the biggest thing for him today," Ventura said.
De Aza scratched from White Sox lineup Sep 29, 2012 3:42 PM
White Sox leadoff hitter and center fielder Alejandro De Aza was scratched from the lineup for Saturdays game against the Tampa Bay Rays with flu-like symptoms. Alejandro, batting .281 with nine homers and 50 RBIs, was replaced by Dewayne Wise.
White Sox lose, fall out of AL Central lead Sep 26, 2012 11:28 PM
The slumping Chicago White Sox fell out of the AL Central lead for the first time in two months, walking 12 batters and losing to the Cleveland Indians 6-4 Wednesday night. Chicago, which has lost seven of eight, had been in sole possession or tied at the top every day since July 24. But Detroit moved ahead by a game, beating Kansas City 5-4 with a week left in the regular season.
White Sox fall to Rays 3-2, now 2 behind Detroit Sep 28, 2012 12:03 AM
Evan Longoria hit a tiebreaking homer in the ninth inning and the surging Tampa Bay Rays won their eighth straight game Thursday night, handing the White Sox a 3-2 loss that hurts Chicago's playoff hopes. The Rays remained two games back in the race for the second AL wild card, while the White Sox fell two games behind Detroit in the AL Central after their eighth loss in nine games. Tampa Bay and Chicago have six games to go, including three more against each other. Detroit beat Kansas City 5-4 earlier Thursday. Longoria's 14th homer came on the eve of the anniversary of his dramatic shot that beat the Yankees on the final day last season and gave the Rays the AL wild card. Joel Peralta (2-6) pitched an inning for the win and Fernando Rodney finished for his club-record 46th save in 48 chances. After giving up a two-out single to Kevin Youkilis, Rodney struck out Adam Dunn on a 3-2 pitch to end the game. Brett Myers (3-4) gave up Longoria 's homer while pitching 1 2-3 innings. The right-hander has allowed a run in each of his last two outings after a run of six consecutive scoreless appearances. The sliding White Sox wasted a handful of opportunities to grab control of the game, continuing their recent struggles to hit with runners on base. A.J. Pierzynski led off the eighth with a single. Pinch-hitter Dewayne Wise then struck out after failing out to get down a bunt and pinch-runner Jordan Danks was ruled out on a double play on Alexei Ramirez's fly ball when he apparently failed to retouch second base on his way back to first. Chicago left 10 on base. The White Sox loaded the bases with no outs in both the fourth and fifth innings and scored just two runs. Paul Konerko hit into a double play with the bases loaded in the fifth, tying it at 2. Luke Scott started the fifth with a drive off Jake Peavy for his 14th homer, giving Tampa Bay a 2-1 lead. Ben Zobrist doubled to open the fourth, moved up on a fly ball and scored on Carlos Pena's sacrifice fly to give the Rays a 1-0 lead. Chicago tied it in the bottom half when James Shields walked two and gave up a single to Alex Rios to load the bases with no outs. One out later, Shields hit Dayan Viciedo with a pitch to force in a run, but he retired the next two batters to avert the big inning. Shields gave up six hits in 6 1-3 innings, throwing 117 pitches. He struck out six and walked four. Peavy went 7 1-3 innings, leaving after walking pinch-hitter Sam Fuld. He gave up four hits, struck out six and walked one. Tampa Bay had runners at the corners with two outs in the second when Peavy made a fake throw to first and was called for a balk by first base umpire Chad Fairchild. Jeff Keppinger was waved in from third before the umpires conferred and wiped out the balk call, sending the runners back to their bases. Rays manager Joe Maddon came out of the dugout for an explanation from home plate umpire Brian O'Nora before Peavy struck out Matt Joyce to end the inning. NOTES: The White Sox still have not named a starter for Sunday's series finale to oppose Rays ace David Price. Jeremy Hellickson (9-10) goes for Tampa Bay on Friday against Gavin Floyd (10-11) and Saturday it's Matt Moore (10-11) vs. Chicago's Chris Sale (17- 7). ... Rays C Jose Molina (right quad strain) missed a second straight game. Maddon said "he's doing better," but isn't sure when Molina will be able to return to action. ... Dan Johnson, who homered for Tampa Bay to tie the game with the Yankees on the final day last year, is now a reserve with the White Sox and lined out in the ninth Thursday night. "It's very strange that Danny's over there," Maddon said. "Great guy. He's a big part of Devil Ray/Ray history. ... I know how calm he is in big moments."
White Sox stumble with 4-3 loss to Indians Sep 25, 2012 9:45 PM
For the first time in more than three weeks, the White Sox have company atop the AL Central. The White Sox gave Detroit an opening to tie for the division lead when Gordon Beckham hit into a game-ending forceout with the potential tying run on second base Tuesday in a 4-3 loss to the last-place Cleveland Indians. "We knew it wasn't going to be easy," catcher A.J. Pierzynski said. "(Detroit is) not going to go away. They'll keep playing hard."

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
Mr. Hempen talks the talk but can't walk the walk. He nor his office staff are organized. When emailing , with or without documents, I very seldom ever received a response. If I did, it would be a request to resend because of one reason or another. All responses were made by his office staff, which are not attorneys. This attorney does not return phone calls. He would continually confuse my case with other clients. He will not or is afraid of aggressive attorneys. He and his staff were continually making clerical errors. After requesting copies of specific records from his office files for over 9 months, he not his office staff were not ever able to locate the documents.
In regard to the division of property, he did a very poor representation on my behalf. He failed to cover numerous issues pertaining to child support, bank accounts, missing marital saving and checking accounts. He allowed my ex's attorney to negotiate the division of property with vehicles, which did not belong to me or my ex.
Avoid hiring this attorney! I wish I would have.
First he told me a certain price over the phone when I came in he did not have change and said he will just keep the whole amount I brang just in case I needed to pay more later. I never received my change. Threw out most of the time I was always the one calling wondering about my case. He did not seem too interested in my situation. He was late to my first court date. I had to go to the courts myself to receive the minutes so he could prepare an order which was wrong and another order had to be prepared. Also after all of this he sent me papers that he was going to remove himself as my lawyer. That showed me he had little compassion for my case. I was always polite and nice when ever I spoke to anyone from that "Firm" and I don't think I deserved to be treated the way I was. Highly do not recommend this attorney !!!

It was nothing like the original. Many times, I couldn't understand the words song by the female opera divas. Even the stage props and scenery was disappointing. I was not happy with the seats received. Alvin Crawford was the only actor...continued

I really disliked this game,the opponants were all difficult in the way that they either get every single shot perfect or they purposely mess up your shot.When i did get to have a go the aiming was crap and shots that should have gone in missed :/
Well... after the help line is gone, its impossible.....
Very ingenious game:)!

My Mom brought this back from Korea. I took a few roots. I drink ginseng tea every morning. Never cooked with fresh ginseng before, certainly not Korean ginseng.

text: I was annoyed when building ports used only one of my servers processor cores, and annoyed at having to install Perl/Ruby/Python just to make the INDEX-#. After an afternoon of coding, I wrote a handy SH script to install ports in parallel, accounting for dependencies, and not requiring installing another language. It's a little rough, but I got it working to install X and Gnome. What do you think (See Attached)?

We all love a good gashapon capsule toy. But whether it's One Piece characters or doggy bread, getting more than one of the same toy is usually a disappointment. No wonder some collectors skip the vending machine step altogether and buy completed sets second-hand. Duplicates are no fun.
There's one Japanese toy company that flips that idea on its head, however. Unlike conventional capsule toys, Epoch's scale models actually look better the more identical items you have! And these miniatures of seemingly mundane items such as school desks, shopping trolleys and folding chairs have proved a runaway hit.
So when our reporter Mr. Sato heard about the latest capsule item from Epoch, he immediately grabbed a bunch of hundred-yen coins and headed out to start collecting…miniature cinema chairs! Here's what he found.

Scientists still debate over why we sleep. There is no doubt that we need to sleep but the effects of sleep are simply amazing and worth every bit of research that is done about it. While scientists are figuring out the many mysteries of sleep, the REM cycle, why we dream, sleepwalk, talk in our sleeps, and that one time when Professor Utonium began robbing toy stores in his sleep, we wake up to the shrill call of our alarms wondering why it feels as though we haven't rested at all. Sleep Better is an iOS and Android app by Runtastic, a popular name in heath and fitness apps, and it helps analyze your sleep patterns telling you how efficient your slumber was. Sleep Better integrates with iOS 8's health app. Read More
Translate Medical Jargon Into Simple English With A Chrome Extension
At some point in our lives, we've all felt ill and decided that instead of consulting a certified medical practitioner who went to medical school and studied medicine for a good four years we should just Google our symptoms to find out what's wrong with us. The answer is usually that we have some sort of cancer or that one of our symptoms is indicative of cancer.It's overkill no doubt but it's possible that we aren't reading the information right. Even if we're just reading up on a disease that may be transferred genetically, or something the doctor warned us we might be at risk of, a lot of the medical information available online isn't written in layman terms. Iodine's Medical Translator is a Chrome extension that fixes that. It finds medical terms on a web page and translates it into ordinary English that we can comprehend. Read More
Oops! AppLock Uses A Volume Key Pattern To Prevent Access To Apps [Android]
Android Lollipop, when it finally rolls out to the masses, has a very interesting and exceptionally useful feature that lets you create guest accounts on your phone. This guest account has restricted access and is a great way to hand your device off to a child or a friend without fear of them poking around or deleting anything important. Until it rolls out, and it might be a considerably long time before it does for some devices, we will continue to keep our personal items safe some other way. Oops! AppLock is a free Android app that locks apps you select. The key to unlocking the apps and gaining access to them is what sets it apart. Where normally, users would fiddle with swipes or taps on the screen, codes, or patterns, this app unlocks from the volume keys. Read More
What To Do If Android Device Is Not Listed After ADB Devices Command
A good while ago, we did a post on what ADB is and how to install it. If you're even slightly adventurous with your Android device, you probably know what ADB is and why it's so important. Overclocking? Xpose? Custom ROM? Rooting? It's only possible after you have ADB installed on your desktop. Now, installing it is pretty simple and you need only read our guide to confirm it yourself but installing it is really the easy part. As you start on your journey to rooting an Android device, learning the terminologies, and downloading the seriously large files needed to modify your device, you will also encounter the many odd errors that occur seemingly without reason or cause. Some of these errors effectively stop you from going ahead with whatever you'r doing and you end up looking for a solution to them instead. One such problem is when the adb devices command executed in the Command Prompt doesn't list your device when previously, it did so. Here's a quick solution to fix it. Read More
Google reCAPTCHA Mailhide Hides Your Email Behind CAPTCHA To Stop Spam
Google has just released the reCAPTCHA Mailhide API for web app developers as a means of fighting spam. For end users this means good news and waiting for developers to get on-board with it. Granted, anything that uses CAPTCHA is predisposed to be frowned upon but there are two things worth mentioning here; CAPTCHA does indeed help stop bots, and Google, the company that has identified 10/10 times that the email from a Nigerian Prince's or that one telling you've won the lottery both belong in the spam folder, has developed this. The API is meant to hide email addresses in apps that list them by having a user enter a CAPTCHA code before they can view the email address. Where it's a great security feature for web app developers to use, it's also a great tool for anyone that needs to post their email address publicly on a personal and/or business website. Read More
Here Are Some Security Improvements In Android 5.0 Lollipop
Android Lollipop was rumoured to roll out on November 3, 2014. The new Nexus devices are now available and those who get their hands on one will be among the first to use the stable Lollipop OS. Android updates are not like iOS updates; they roll out over extended time periods that are months long, and they aren't made universally available to all devices running Android. Many device owners will wait a considerably long time for an update to become available. This is a given when you decide to use Android but with Lollipop, there is more excitement and anticipation surrounding this release and you may be wondering why this update, of all the others, is such a big deal. The shortest answer we can give you is Security. Android Lollipop is big on it and we're detailing just what the new security features are. Read More
Movieo: Discover Movies Starring Your Favorite Actor And More
Monday is supposed to be a productive day, and possibly an unpleasant one since it's the start of the week and today some of you might still be high on candy from the Trick or treating. Mondays end and at the end of a Monday, a pick-me-up movie is a pretty good idea. Movieo is a web service for finding movies and we've covered a whole bunch of other apps and services that do just this. Movieo sets itself apart by letting you search for movies by actor. It supports other common movie filters as well such as genre, year of release, and country of production. Read More
Windows 10 Virtual Desktop Shortcuts
Following up on our post about Windows 10 shortcuts for snapping windows, we decided to explore one of the more exciting features in Windows 10, the virtual desktops. Windows is great when it comes to keyboard shortcuts so rest assured if someone were to go out hunting for a list of shortcuts for any feature, they won't be disappointed. So far as the Technical Preview of Windows 10 is concerned, we've found four helpful shortcuts that let you switch to the next or previous desktop from the current one, close a virtual desktop, open a new virtual desktop, or select the next or previous desktop when you have the multi-task view open.

PrefDelete Lets You Uninstall Tweaks From The Settings App [Jailbreak]
A world without Cydia is hard to imagine. You could very well jailbreak your device and not have this app installed on it but unless you've actually owned a jailbroken iPhone, you won't know just how crucial this one app is to the experience jailbrokers enjoy. That said ( and I have all the admiration in the world for Cydia), I've never quite liked the process of uninstalling a tweak. Just finding it in the Installed tab is itself a tedious task. The Recent tab does help but unless I remember what a tweak was called, uninstalling it is going to be time consuming. PrefDelete is a free Cydia tweak available in the BigBoss repository that lets you uninstall a tweak from the Settings app. Read More
How To Snap Windows Using Keyboard Shortcuts In Windows 10
Snapping in Windows 10 is very different than it was in Windows 8 and Windows 7. If you never made the jump to Windows 8, or if you decided to revert back to Windows 7 after you realized you didn't like Windows 8 one bit, snapping windows in Windows 10 will seem even more different. We touched on the feature, and how it works in our Windows 10 feature review. One major change with the Snap feature is that it doesn't just let you snap windows to one half or one quarter of the screen. Instead you have many more snapping options and more sizes to snap a window in. This guide details them all. Read More
Hiding The Mini Toolbar In Office 2013
Microsoft got a lot of heat with Windows 8 and loyal Windows users were disappointed with the company's attempt at innovation since it ended up sacrificing two of the most iconic features of the OS but Microsoft and its products aren't all a result of trial and error. Take a look at Office 2013 and you can see the company gets a lot of things right in just the one go. The Office productivity suite has everything you could ever need to make a solid well-formatted document, spreadsheet, or presentation. What's more is that it also features many auto-fill options and helpful pop-ups to make formatting and composing a document or presentation easier. That said, one of the chief annoyances is the Mini Toolbar that pops up in all office apps when you select text. For some, this might be helpful but it appears over the text and there isn't an easy way to dismiss it. You can however, disable it, if it annoys you. Here's how. Read More
Pilot Reader: Read & Save Tech News Catered Specifically To You
There are hundreds of ways to keep up with news; Twitter, Reddit, RSS, Newsletters, and whatnot. The demise of Google Reader certainly opened and enriched this particular niche and new apps and services are still developed to this day. Pilot Reader is an iOS and Android app that caters to people interested in technology news. The app is free and very Tinder-like in its functionality. Not only does it curate technology news but it also learns to recognize what you like and save, to give you more relevant news. Like Tinder, you can swipe an item right to save it, and left to dismiss it. Read More
Resume A Failed Chrome Download From Where It Left Off [Tutorial]
I'm overly cautious about download managers, especially the ones that try to get me to install a hundred other things during installation. Add to that the number of horror stories you read about malware, compromised data, security leaks, and whatnot, and I prefer to use my Chrome's download manager. This comes with a serious disadvantage though; if a download fails, I can't resume it. If it was something small, I won't mind downloading it fresh but for a sizeable download, this can be a problem. A very frustrating one at that. Naturally, anyone in my position will want a work around so here is a simple way to resume a failed download. You will need Firefox installed as the resumed download will be completed in Firefox. Read More
Send A Window To A Different Virtual Desktop In Windows 10
Windows 10 introduced virtual desktops. Microsoft is quite far behind in introducing this feature since both OS X and Ubuntu have had it for ages. We don't know just how cooked the feature is; whether it's out in its entirety in the current developer build, or if there is more to come with the final release. That said, the new feature is very welcome and we're hoping lots of third-party apps will be developed to help us get even more out of these desktops. Like virtual desktops on other popular operating systems, you can move apps between these desktops in Windows 10. The process is much more refined in Windows 10 and makes it easier to send manage multiple windows. Read More
Fused Lets You Blend Two Photos Or Videos Into One Amazing Image [iOS]
Filters, and frames are getting boring. There are about a thousand or so apps that let you apply either or both to your photos and there will probably be a thousand more in the years to come. Fused is a nice new app that lets you do something more original with you photos and it's free. Fused lets you merge two photos or videos, or a video and a photo into one, and create a stunning single photo. It comes with a great masking tool and lots of blend options that help you use one photo as a background, and overlay a second one over it to create something truly original. Read More
ChooseMyPC Helps You Find Parts To Build Your Budget PC
Tablets and laptops are exceptionally powerful today right off the shelf. PCs aren't exactly a dying breed but there isn't much contrast between a laptop and a PC in terms of power. That doesn't mean PCs are going the way of the dinosaurs. Avid gamers often build powerful PCs themselves with special attention to comfort, layout, heating, cooling, and ventilation. Now if you're interested in building a PC but have no idea what to buy and are on a budget, ChooseMyPC is an excellent place to start. It's a very simple app that asks you to set your budget, select which country you're in (only four supported at the moment), and whether or not you plan to overclock your system. The app will give you a complete list of parts to buy and you can add other parts to the PC such as an optical drive. The list of parts updates but keeps you under or on budget. Read More
3 Subtle Changes Google Made To Chrome In Recent Updates
We don't cover Google Chrome updates and new versions as regularly as we do for Firefox. Possibly because version numbers are far less relevant with Chrome. But every once in a while you do get a change and I'm just going with this quote from X-Men here to explain it best; "This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward". Chrome is known for its very minimal interface and just how perfectly executed it is. Firefox, after numerous updates has finally caught up but open a Firefox window and hit the Alt key, all those old menus return for a few seconds. With Chrome, the interface is so minimal that changes are hard to make, and even harder to spot. That said, here are three changes that were made to Chrome over the past few updates. Read More
Force Windows Apps To Open As Maximized
One of my favorite Windows features is window management. Specifically, the Snap feature is what I love. Windows 10 has improved it significantly for anyone working with a large monitor. Modern apps can also run full screen on the desktop. The snap feature is so popular that it causes envy among OS X users though they might not admit it. Apart from this very obvious and very awesome way to manage windows, the OS offers a few obscure settings to manage windows better. If you''re looking for a way to always open an app with a fully maximized window, while wanting to make other selective apps open as normal sized and/or minimized windows, there is a simple trick to it that lets you do just that. Read More
PhotoMath: Solve Linear Equations And Fractions Using Your Camera [iOS]
Simple arithmetic is easy enough; adding, subtracting, multiplying, and division. You can do it on a basic calculator. Add brackets to the mix and you have to remember which order to solve them in. It's still do-able with an ordinary calculator. Now think linear equations in one unknown variable or fractions. If you haven't done a lot of maths recently, you are probably going to be choppy at some of this. PhotoMath Solve is a free iOS app that I could've benefited from in my school years. It's an app that solves maths problems simply by scanning them with your camera and it shows you the individual steps that led to that solution. The app isn't exactly going to help you ace an advanced degree in Mathematics but if you have children who get Maths homework, the app can be a useful in helping them learn. At present, the app can only scan problems that have been printed and not hand written. It can solve basic arithmetic operations, fractions, decimals, linear equations in one unknown variable, and some logarithmic functions. Read More
What's New In iOS 8.1
iOS 8.1 was released a few days back and since the release of iOS 8, this is the third update to the OS with iOS 8.0.1 and iOS 8.0.2 being rolled out earlier to deal with the many problems the OS brought with it. And iOS 8 did indeed bring quite a few problems with it. iOS 8.1 fixes some bugs but it also rolls out some other features that require Yosemite to be running on Macs. Talks and speculation of bugs aside, here is the list of the new features made available with the update. Read More

from Helene Elliott of the Fabulous Forum at the LA Times,
In a startling and no doubt temporary flash of insight, the NHL realized that there are, indeed, good hockey players and good teams residing west of Chicago and invited Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf to participate in a media tour this week in New York.
On a sidenote, Helene and I have had a few discussions about this topic and I am glad to see Getzlaf was include in the tour…

Here are few free tutorials designed to guide the animation beginner... Keys and Inbetweens 1: Traditional 2D animation is made up of two essential elements... "keys" and "inbetweens". Other terms are used to define the breaking down of animated action for other forms of animation too… such as in 3D, Web, etc. which we'll deal with later. Nevertheless, all animation… from the finest of computerized digital masterworks down to the most basic paper and pencil scribblings… are ultimately a manipulation of these two single elements, through established, time- honored principles. The greater, "master" character animators from the past, as well as some that are still amongst us, have simply developed or acquired a greater collection of such "manipulations" (i.e. animation principles) to quite literally draw upon. Therefore, even a most basic application of the principles between these two elements, keys and inbetweens, will result in the creation of competent movement and an acceptable level of animation. Keys & Inbetweens 2: Occasionally, there are animated sequences that will break the "keys" and "inbetween" two element rule. For example, "straight ahead" animation is where there are no keys but the animator creates a "drawing one" then moves on to drawing "two", drawing "three", drawing "four", etc… successively adding a slight change of movement each time until an entire moving sequence is built up. Alternatively, a sequence of movement might involve additional indirect elements such as "extreme" drawings, which essentially define the extent of a moment within two key positions but are not necessarily linked to either. A perfect example of "straight ahead" animation is where the fingers of a hand tap impatiently on a desk. It is virtually impossible to "key" and "inbetween" such an action, therefore it needing to be animated frame-by-frame (i.e. using a "straight ahead" technique). However, for the purposes of this brief course, and purely in the interests of simplicity, I am choosing to narrow our vision down to the essential elements of "keys" and "inbetweens" for the time being. That point established, a comprehensive appreciation and thorough understanding of these two basic elements... in addition to a knowledge of the additional principles that are possible within the interaction of such keys and inbetweens... will more than equip the aspiring young animator with the potential of "mastership" (that is, given time, practice and a dedicated application). (Note: 3D animation of course is not approached in quite the same way as traditional 2D animation. However, a thorough understanding of the principles of the one will certainly go a long way to an enhancement of the performance and accomplishment of the other.) Keys & Inbetweens 3.: Simply stated, a "key" is a drawing that defines the beginning or the end of an action. An "inbetween" is a drawing that is created between two other drawings... whether these drawings are keys or other inbetweens. Consider for example, a ball rolling from A to C. The two key drawings in this case are "A" and "C". Therefore an accurate inbetween (set precisely in the middle) of "A" to "C" is "B". In terms of actual animation, this action would be impossibly and unrealistically fast (actually "one-eighth of a second" only... if viewed at 24fps) with each drawing being shot for one frame of film each. (This is known as animation on "1s"). Therefore, to slow this action down, the animator will need to add extra inbetweens... say for example, two more... as well as maybe shooting each drawing for two frames of film each. (Known as animating on "2s".) Therefore, in the case of our rolling ball, the typical key drawings would be "1" and "9" and the required inbetween drawings would be "3", "5" and "7". Note: When animating on 2's the animation numbering will always reflect the accurate frame numbers wherever possible… i.e. "1", "3", "5", "7", "9", etc., rather than "1", "2", "3", "4", "5" etc. when animating on 1's. Keys & Inbetweens 4.: In a large professional studio, it is the assistant who almost exclusively produces most of the inbetweening (unless the animator chooses to draw their own inbetweens for reasons best known to themselves, or else a production budget cannot handle an extra salary). It is therefore essential that the professional assistant animator be extremely fast and accurate in creating what the animator has requested (yes, even under pressure… which is more norm than not). Bad inbetweening can destroy the animator's work and turn a potentially excellent piece of smooth animation into a jerky, staccato movement, irritating to the eye. Sloppy inbetweening will invariably have to be redone in most circumstances... which, of course, will both cost the animator and assistant further time and effort in correcting things and also the studio that employs them additional money. Most commercial companies cannot absorb such avoidable "overages". Therefore, in this competitive day and age, the sloppy assistant will rarely be tolerated for long and the studio will consequently move on to hire someone who can professionally cut it. Even with independent and student based work, the fundamental requirement of inbetweening must be ACCURACY. Without it the movement and timing will not be as intended and therefore to the detriment of the overall project. Charts and Breakdown Drawings: To make sure that the animator's wishes are adhered to accurately by the assistant there has to be a clear system of rapport and communication between them both. It is clearly not desirable, nor even possible in many situations, for the animator to verbally communicate his wishes to the assistant on a key-by-key basis. Therefore, to help the assistant understanding the intention, an animator will draw a "chart" on the first of two key drawings to illustrate where the inbetween placements are to be. This chart will usually be drawn on the first key drawing of two keys. Therefore, in the earlier example of the rolling ball, the chart below will be drafted onto key "1". This chart indicates that the animator first wants an inbetween "(5)" to be placed between keys "1" and "9" and then two further inbetweens be added... "3" between "1" and "(5)" and "7" between "(5)" and "9". This will give three evenly spaced inbetween drawings between the two keys. Note that drawing "(5)" is indicated in parentheses. This is because it indicates the first inbetween the animator requires the assistant to do "I" and "9 ". Because of its special significance, this inbetween drawing is actually referred to as the "breakdown" drawing. Key drawings are always charted as circled. Studying the chart further, we can deduce that when the breakdown "(5)" drawing is completed, the assistant must then put in the two other inbetween drawings... "3" in the middle of "1" and "(5)", then "7" in the middle of "(5)" and "9". There can of course be more (or less) inbetweens between two key drawings but it is the animator's chart on the lead key drawing that defines just what the animator requires the assistant to do. In principle, the animator will rarely leave more than one or two inbetweens for the assistant to do between drawings, except on very slow actions requiring a large number of very close inbetweens. Additionally, the animator will invariably do the breakdown drawing themselves, for the very reason that it is often a "distorted" inbetween... i.e. not directly in the middle but biased to one side of the other... or else with a subtle change of direction within some part of the normal movement, to create an specific action or timing effect. If the same ball rolling action was animated on ones, on say an arc for example, then the chart and work appropriation might look like this. When all the inbetween drawings are finished, the assistant shoots the completed scene... either by recording digitally or else by using a traditional videotape pencil test camera... whereupon the animator will view it to check out the inbetweening and action. Slowing In and Slowing Out: It is very rare that an animator will want to have evenly placed inbetween drawings between two keys. Nothing in life, except maybe machines, moves at a consistent, even speed and animation that moves well will have to reflect this fact. Most action involves a movement either slowing down or speeding up. Check it out... observe people moving and doing things and you will see this is true. Therefore, to achieve this naturalness of movement, an animator will draw a chart differently from key to key. Ever aware of the enduring principle that the more drawings there are between two keys the slower it will be... and the less drawings there are the faster is it... an animator will devise a chart that arranges inbetweens in a way that the action will either slow down, or speed up. Therefore, if the animator wants an action to slow down at the end, their chart will indicate that there are more inbetweens towards the end of the action than at the beginning.... This setup is known as a "slow-in", because there are more drawings and the end of the action, causing it to slow into the final key position. Note that the breakdown drawing is number "(3)" in this chart, due to the parenthesis around it. If, on the other hand, the animator places most of the inbetweens at the beginning of the movement, emphasizing a speeding up of the action as it moves, then this is known as "slow out". Note too that on this chart the breakdown drawing has changed to number "(7)". Occasionally, with longer and larger movements, the animator may require that the action speed up, then slow down, between the two keys. This is known as a "slowing-out/slowing-in" movement. In such a case and depending on the nature of what the action is, the animator would probably draw the breakdown drawing, in addition to the two key drawings, simply to remove the heavy inbetweening burden from the assistant, if the action is complex. Remember that the key drawings are always circled, and the breakdown drawing is always indicated in parentheses. Key Points: Assistant animators invariably encounter inbetweening problems that are far more difficult than our previous example of a rolling ball! To accommodate this there are several means by which dissimilar shapes can be inbetweened quite accurately, removing much of the guesswork. The use of "key points" is one such means. For example, let us consider one shape "T" turning into another "T" using even inbetweens. The chart will read as such.... Following the requirements of this charting, the assistant will first visualize, then mark, a series of key points that link the most identifiable, common aspects of the two shapes. In this example, they would lightly mark the midpoints of the corner positions clearly visible in each key, lightly with a blue pencil. Having accurately indicated the key points for the breakdown drawing, the assistant then will join those key points with a smooth, natural line, matching the line quality of the key drawings. Once the breakdown drawing "(5)" is completed, the other two inbetweens are created using an identical approach... where inbetween "3" is created between "1" and "(5)" and inbetween "7" is created between "(5)" and "9". Shot as separate drawings on 2s (one drawing for two frames) the first shape of "T" will instantly and accurately animate into the second "T" shape. In 3D animation terms, this action of one shape turning into another is known as a "morph". Superimposition: Now, taking the "morphing" concept one stage further… if the same shape is changing and moving across the screen at the same time, it raises further problems for the assistant. For example, the letter "A" animates to the letter "Z" in even inbetweens… With this example the corner key points will obviously not be located as accurately as before, therefore another trick of the trade has to be learned. This will require an even greater degree of visual judgment by the assistant but it will make life all the much easier once it is appreciated. With this example, we must imagine the first key drawing "1" and the second key drawing "9" are on separate sheets of paper, directly on top of each other on the registration peg bar. A third sheet of blank paper is placed above them both... this will be our breakdown drawing "(5)". First, the accurate center points of the shapes on the two key drawings are marked lightly. Then, turning the lightbox on to allow us to see through the three sheets of paper at once, the center key point of the breakdown drawing "(5)" is marked at a precise midway position between the two on the top sheet of paper. (Note: The line linking the center points between two keys, upon which the center point of the breakdown drawing is located, is call a "path of action".) Having established the four key points on the breakdown level, the animator then removes the top two drawings from the peg bar. These two top sheets are then "superimposed" over one another on the lightbox until the three center markings are accurately lined up, one above the other. The top two sheets of paper are then lightly taped down with masking tape, outside of the drawing area... the assistant taking care that they remain aligned until the taping is complete. (Note: Whilst doing this, the assistant must also make sure that all three drawings remain perfectly square to one another as, if one sheet slips or rotates in any one direction, a slide or "twitch" will appear in the final action, making the inbetweens unusable.) Once all three drawings have been accurately secured as above, the breakdown drawing can be completed as in the previous "key points" exercise. When the breakdown "(5)" drawing is completed, the two top sheets can then be un-taped again and placed back onto the registration pegs where a quick visual "flip" check can be made for any possible error. However, if the assistant has done his job well, the breakdown drawing should be perfectly inbetweened and the remaining two inbetweens may be created similarly. More often than not however, it is not possible to use an identifiable center mark as our point of reference when creating in a breakdown point between two key drawings. In this case, the assistant must use even more enhanced visual judgment to assess where this point, and shape, might be. For example, if a balloon animates into an irregular shape, such as a hand, the assistant will have to use their best judgment in estimating the approximate breakdown position between the two key shapes. It may be possible to estimate a center position at the same time but, usually, it is only really possible to rough estimate an approximate shape and position between the two keys and lightly sketch it in with a blue pencil... However, having made this initial assessment (and hopefully central to the two key positions) the assistant again superimposes the top two drawings over the third in a way where they are accurately over one another as possible. These positioned sheets can then be taped down as before and the more accurate breakdown drawing be completed. Once the assistant has returned the drawings back onto the peg bar for a flip test and confirmed that the breakdown drawing is accurate, the remaining inbetweens can be similarly completed. Flipping: One of the finest skills an animator or assistant can learn is "flipping'. Flipping is a method of getting the feel of how a moving sequence is going by simple flipping a number of drawings in sequence, one after the other... just in the same way the flip books we all owned, or created, as kids created magical movement. However, unless somehow we fix a huge pile of large animation drawings together, the maximum numbers of drawings that can be flipped on a peg bar at once are five. (That being the number of digits we have to work with on a human hand.) There are three kinds of flipping possible.... "bottom pegs" flipping, "top pegs" flipping and "whole scene" flipping. Bottom pegs flipping is probably the easiest of all the three. An animator or assistant will place five consecutive animation drawings on the peg bar... lowest number on the top and highest number on the bottom...then interleave their fingers between the top four sheets. It is then just a process of coordinating the finger movements to enable the drawings to fleetingly and consecutively pass the field of vision, top to bottom and back again. The free hand will probably be required to hold the drawings securely on the pegs as the sheets are flipped. Although I personally prefer to animate using the top pegs approach, this way of animating does definitely make flipping harder. It takes more patience and finger/eye coordination to flip a collection of five top peg drawings at once... but the effort is well and truly worth it, once it's mastered. With the drawings being on top pegs, it is impossible to use one hand alone to interleave between the drawings. Therefore two hands have to be used. This is done by having the index finger and thumb of the left hand to hold the second from the top animation drawing, and the next two fingers of the same hand to hold the top sheet. The right hand performs similarly, gripping the fourth and third animation drawing respectively. The hard part is learning to coordinate the relevant finger movements to create a sequential flipping motion with the drawings. It is hard, and will take trial an error. But it can be done and patience will be rewarded ultimately. Incidentally, as there is no free hand to hold the animation drawings securely on the peg bar with this method, there is a danger of them flying off the pegs as the flipping is attempted. To remedy this, a large rubber band can be stretched over the peg bar, on top of the drawings, to create the required stability. The final system of flipping is whole scene flipping. As it's title implies, whole scene flipping can only be attempted when the complete scene of animation is complete...or at least a significant amount of it is. The drawings are shuffled together in numerical order, the lowest number on the bottom and the highest number on top. The animator or assistant animator holds the drawings up to about eye level with one hand and proceeds to flip the drawings, one by one, with the thumb of the other. The gravity effect causes each individual drawing to fall, one after the other, as long as the pile of drawings are held slightly above a parallel to the ground. Again, a little practice will be required to affect this system smoothly but, once mastered, it is possible to assess the flow and action of the animated scene before the more time consuming process of shooting a pencil test is attempted. I believe that it's not possible for a true animator to hold their head up high without first acquiring the facility of flipping. Flipping is such an "organic" process to the art of movement that it should be worked at and mastered if it's benefits are to be fully realized. Often, in a professional setting, it is quite common for animators to be seen wandering around the studio, flipping their latest scenes at one another. In all seriousness, there is no better way of assessing the general feel of your animation flow than by flipping, However, not being mechanically consistent in terms of flipping speed, it can only be when a scene is formally shot and the playback seen at regulation speed that the precise timing of an action can be fully assessed. Head Turns: It cannot be emphasized enough... everything that moves in life, moves in arcs, never in straight lines. The animator must always be conscious of this fact when considering any new action and needs to underline this point to the assistant also. It is by using arcs, however subtle they may be, that your animation will take on a greater sense of reality and naturalness. By way of explanation, let us consider these two key drawings of a basic head turning, showing the head moving from front to profile. How might the breakdown drawing be approached here to reflect the use of arcs? Well, the way that it is most certainly NOT drawn is as a straight inbetween... A logical, straight inbetween of the head turn will look "mechanical" and will actually give the appearance that the features of the face are sliding across the head. Try it and see. Therefore, to avoid this happening and to make the action look more natural and realistic, the breakdown needs to be positioned at the base of a downward arc. However, before you draw your breakdown, try turning your own head and sense what is happening. You will be conscious of a very slight dip in its path of your head's action as it turns... however slight that dip may be... and a sense that your head moves up at there end as your eyes focus on what you are turning to see. It's quite subtle, but it's real. This is the action that has to be imitated for our example. Therefore, a more natural-looking breakdown drawing might appear as... Remember also that when the other inbetweens have to be added to the arced action, they too will have to be drawn on an arc also... never in a straight line. This sequence may take a little longer for the assistant to do (I would expect the animator to do the breakdown drawing in this case, unless the assistant is an experienced, seasoned professional) but the final effect on the action will be so much superior to the straight inbetweens, which might be attempted if speed and inexperience are a factor. Now bringing the eyes into play, on top of the arced head turn, will bring even more life and naturalness to the action. Therefore, in the next lesson we will deal with the basic elements that are involved in eye action. Eye Movements: As earlier suggested, it is a very valuable exercise for an animator to be able feel out the proposed movements of a character through their own body first, wherever possible. To animate well, an animator truly needs to literally "feel" that action within them before attempting it. Remember too that the action of a character is determined by their inherent thoughts and feelings within the scene... for thinking always initiates action. Remember too that animation is not just making drawings move... it is making drawing move WELL. That is dependent upon a number of factors that the animator needs to address before starting a scene, the least of which being the ability to feel the action within themselves before animating it. I suggest that this as the "method school of animation"... where you only really get out what you put in and what you put in must come from within your own understanding of yourself and the script. The more effort the animator puts in up front, the better the action will turn out. With such intentions in mind, start to become aware of your own body and it's movement... specifically it's less obvious movement. Apart from the arcing movements discussed, what other events happen when you turn your head from front to side? (A word of caution and reminder here... everyone acts differently when performing the same action and even the same person might turn their head in a number of different ways, depending on their general alertness, intention or state of emotion [such as fear, irritation, aggression, supplication, desire, etc.]... so don't be surprised if your action differs from what follows!) Pretty much universally, the normal expectation of a head turn is that as it turns, the eyes either close fully midway through, or else they half-closed. This happens as they are beginning to adjust to a look in a new direction. Therefore, in the case of our example, the breakdown drawing will require a definite eye change if it is to become more impactful and plausible, which simply closing the eyes will emphasize... It is an old, well-worn axiom but the eyes truly are "the window to the soul". We can tell so much about a person, how they are thinking and how they are feeling, from the expression in their eyes. When it comes to films, whether they be animated or otherwise, it is universally acknowledged that the audience will always focus on the eyes when a person, or character, is speaking. And, when it comes to market research, to test audience responses to products in advertising commercials, it is the degrees of dilation in the pupils of the eyes of the audience that acts as a barometer to their receptivity to the products or not. Therefore, so important are the eyes to the enrichment or a character's performance, that some additional attention, concerning the animation of eyes, will be invaluable... For example, if the pupil is moving from one side of the eyeball to the other, it is essential that the action of that pupil also be placed on an arc. If not, the same sliding effect we discussed earlier with the straight head turn will occur. Remember too that the eye is a ball, not just a flat white circle, so the action must reflect a spherical one, not a lateral one. Anyway, to gain strength and plausibility to the moving eye, the movement will be more successfully achieved as so.... Now, if the pupil is moving on just one side of the eyeball... either up or down... then the action of that pupil becomes even more convincing if the outer circle of the eyeball it touches is stretched out just a little where the pupil is. This distortion (again the more subtly drawn the better... although with some "OTT" cartoon approaches this can be exaggerated quite outrageously) would consequently move up or down with the pupil as it moves... With regards our head turn example... when the character's head is turning in one direction, the action will be so much more convincing and impactful if the eyes actually lead the direction of the head as early within the action as possible. The following charting and keying is a suggestion only, as so many factors will influence why it should be created differently. Other subtle touches involved with the eyes will enhance, many fold, the effectiveness of the action. For example, character receptivity. Have you noticed that if the pupil in the eye of a real person is very small, it gives the impression that they are dazed, weak, bored or just generally out of salts. On the other hand, if a person's pupil is very large it gives the impression of interest, receptivity, awareness... or simply that they are under the influence of some relaxant substances! Therefore, animated character eyes should reflect this reality, depending on the thinking and emotion of the character at any moment in a scene. For example, "A" (below) is quite reminiscent of a startled response, or of Homer Simpson's vacant gaze... whilst "B" is more an expression that two lovers might have when gazing into each other's eyes, or else a cat might have when it's about to pounce on it's unsuspecting prey. Exposure Sheets 01: An "exposure sheet" ("x-sheet" or "dope sheet") is a page (or series of pages) that contains all the relevant information that the animator will need to use when animating... including the phonetic breakdown transferred from the bar sheets, scene "start" and "end" ("cut") points, the director's action notes and timings, areas for logging animation and communicating shooting instructions to the cameraman, etc. The exposure sheet is therefore the means by which the animator can both organize their thinking all in one place and then communicate these thoughts to others in the production chain. In some ways, the exposure sheet is quite similar to a bar sheet, in that it reproduces exactly… with frame-by-frame accuracy… the phonetic breakdown the sound editor produced for the bar sheets. The only exception to this is that the exposure sheet is smaller in size and formatted somewhat differently. A typical exposure sheet looks like this... Although many exposure sheets do differ (mainly in layout) from studio to studio and country to country, the information contained here is pretty much standard. At first glance the x-sheet will appear a formidable adversary... comprising of a confusing number of vertical columns and horizontal lines. However, once this is all broken down into its various relevant parts, and understood well enough, the exposure sheet soon becomes a friend, not an enemy. Apart from the top section… which clearly provides space for the writing in of the "Sequence", "Scene", "Scene Title" and "Page number" information… the narrowly-spaced horizontal lines, seen beneath, basically represent each frame of film the animator will be using. The vertical columns, on the other hand, represent other aspects of what comprises a scene and the animation process… namely (from left to right) the director's/animator's action notes column, the dialogue breakdown column, the six columns that represent the layers possible for cel animation plus background artwork, and the camera instructions column. Dealing the frames of film lines first however … There are 16 frames of action for every foot of 35mm film, therefore every sixteenth horizontal line on the exposure sheet is printed with a double fine-line, to indicate that a foot of film has been reached. Additionally, as most animation has been traditionally produced on 35mm film… and as cinema projectors project film at 24 "fps" (frames per second)… it has always been easy to assess the exposure sheets in terms of "time" also (in that one and a half feet of film equals one second of time… i.e. three sections of the heavier ruling. (Indeed, as I prefer to work in time terms, rather than footage terms, I invariably circle the number of seconds passed in the "director/animator's" column beside the dialogue column.) However, with the advent of digital production… and the fact that the process is further complicated by U.S. TV (NTSC format) effectively broadcasting at 30 fps and U.K. TV (PAL format) broadcasting at 25 fps… studios have tended to change the heavily-ruled dividing markings to suit their own particular needs. (For example, Web animation can be broadcast at any fps rate required… it is principally dependent on the volume of the material created, the broadband width of the audience it is aimed at and, of course, personal preference.) However, as many TV commercials are often produced for an international marketplace… on 35mm film and then converted to fit whatever broadcasting system is required… then I think it safest to stick with the traditional exposure sheet layout here. Specialty animators, addressing their own particular markets, will of course have to adapt this traditional layout to suit their own requirements. Now, with regards the vertical columns of the exposure sheet… As we have already noted, the vertical columns in the exposure sheet have a diversity of uses and therefore they do need to be defined in more detail than the frame lines. The far left column is basically available for the director and/or the animator to make action notes, sketch in thumbnail pose ideas, suggest timings that need to be adhered to, etc. It is basically a time and motion "note pad"… which has no relevance to anyone, other than the director or animation. This column is therefore really only used prior to the animation being produced. The next column across indicates the phonetic breakdown of the soundtrack. This will be information that has been directly transferred from the bar sheet, on a frame-by-frame basis, and will accurately indicate just on what frame(or frames) each word's phonetic breakdown falls. (Note: With regards "phonetic" breakdowns… if the word being analyzed is "barn", then it will phonetically notated as "B", "AH", "N". If, alternatively, there is a musical content in the soundtrack, then the dialogue column will display both the timings of the "music beats" (usually marked with a colored asterisk on each frame where the beat falls)… in addition to the "lyrics", broken down phonetically as before. The next set of six, vertical columns indicate the maximum levels of cels… plus background… that can possibly be filmed together at any one time. Traditional 2D animation established the fact that a set maximum of cels only could be shot over a background at any one time and that any more than this would render the background and lower cel artwork too dark. (Due to the fact that each level of cel [acetate] reduced the light intensity of the artwork significantly… and therefore it was universally accepted that there could only be a maximum of five levels used before the scene would begin to look impossibly dark). However, with modern digital technology of course, there is no limit to the number of animation layers that can be used… thereby, in some ways, making this traditional exposure sheet system impractical when it comes to he more multi-level work. (Hence the need for each animator, or animation studio, to adapt the traditional exposure sheet format to suit their own personal requirements.) Now, reading the animation level columns from right to left, we can see that the first… and lowest… level is that reserved for the background. Then, the layers ascend… column "1" being the lowest level and column "5" being the highest. A great deal of full, traditional animation is still produced on one or two levels however… plus a background. Therefore, unless five levels are used in any one scene, it will most likely only be columns "1" and "2" that are used. Finally, the vertical column to the right of the exposure sheet is exclusively reserved for the animator to communicate specific, additional instructions to the cameraman. (i.e. "Additional" to the shooting instructions indicated in the previous six columns.) Such additional information can include the "Start" and "Cut" (end) points of the scene, the "field size" (i.e. area of artwork to be seen by the camera) required, any "panning & tracking" movements, "fade-in" and "fade-out" instructions, etc., etc. Needless to say, such information must always be clearly and coherently written by the animator… as any ambiguous instructions here will undoubtedly lead to confusion on the part of the cameraman, causing errors in the shoot and therefore a need for the entire scene having to be filmed again. (Note: In speaking in terms of "cameraman", "shoot" and "filmed", we are here referring to traditional terminology that still somehow sticks in the industry. It should therefore be taken as read that these terms can also apply to modern "scanning" and "digital compositing" techniques also.)

Murmansk Legion
Murmansk Legion, also known as the Finnish Legion, was a British Royal Navy organized military unit during the 1918–1919 Allied North Russia Intervention. It was composed of Finnish Red Guards who had fled after the Finnish Civil War from the White dominated Northern Finland to Soviet Russia and of some Finns working on the Murmansk Railroad. The Legion fought the 1918 Viena expedition of Finnish White Guards and defended the Murmansk Railroad along with British troops.[1]
Finnish White Guards had started their military campaign in March 1918. The goal was to annex White Karelia from Bolshevist Russia. British Royal Marines had invaded Murmansk at the same time to prevent the Germans and their Finnish White Guard allies from gaining the White Sea coast and the Murmansk Railroad.[2]
Murmansk Legion was armed with British equipment and wore British uniforms. The Legion was led by Oskari Tokoi and Verner Lehtimäki who were both promoted as Colonel by the British Navy. Strength of the Legion peaked in February 1919 and was about 1,200 men.[2] Murmansk Legion was first approved by Lenin but he later condemned it, as did the communists left behind in Finland, since the British were on the side of the White movement although Finns refused to fight the Bolsheviks.[1]
Murmansk Legion was disbanded in 1919 as the British troops withdraw. Finnish government regarded them as traitors but United Kingdom and United States made their recognition of Finnish independence conditional, the legionnaires had to be either pardoned or allowed to exile themselves to Canada. In the autumn of 1919 most of the Murmansk Legion fighters returned to Finland but some 20 highest-ranked officers like Tokoi, Lehtimäki and Aarne Orjatsalo fled to North America.[2] Some legionnaires joined later the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War and few of the youngest even fought in the Finnish Army during the World War II.
