Did George Perez refused to draw Vibe?
Comic Book Legends Revealed #516
by Brian Cronin | March 27, 2015 @ 9:45 AM
COMIC LEGEND: George Perez refused to ever draw Vibe because he felt he was an offensive stereotype.
STATUS: False (but with a lot of truth to it)
In a 1985 Comics Journal interview with Heidi MacDonald, the topic of Vibe came up…
So that is likely the origin of the story, but Perez drew Vibe in Crisis on Infinite Earths, and not just in a tiny shot in a big group scene…

New Printing of Hulk: Future Imperfect delayed to April 22
Publisher: MARVEL COMICS
(W) Peter David (A) George Perez, Dale Keown (CA) Dale Keown
The Hulk has seen the future...and it is murder. Beloved Hulk writer Peter David brings readers two classic dystopian tales of earth-shaking impact. Both stories find the Hulk at the end of the Earth - and at the end of his rope! In "Future Imperfect," the Hulk is the last super power in a post-apocalyptic Earth, ruling with an iron fist as the wicked Maestro. But summoned from the past by a small band of rebels is perhaps the only being who can stand against him! And in "The End," the green-skinned titan walks alone through a wasted and barren land - and must confront the one who is easily his ultimate nemesis! These two tales of the end times surely rank among the classics in Marvel history! Collecting HULK: FUTURE IMPERFECT #1-2 and INCREDIBLE HULK: THE END.

Help with whole house water softner system
Again and again I have turned to the generous folk on gardenweb to help me with costly decisions about which I have little knowledge. So here I am again:
We live in Southern California (Pasadena area) and 3 years ago built a new house and are already seeing damages to glass shower doors, chrome faucets, staining of marble and granite and the list goes on. My concern is mainly this issue which I think is excessive calcium deposits?? I know very little about water softners just that I think I need to get one.
My general philosophy is to spend the money if I have to but get something that works well and requires little maintenance from me. I deeply regret not having installed a system to address this problem when we were doing the construction but there's nothing I can do about that. I have read some of the posts and the valuable advise provided by justalurker and asolo but it is still very unclear and the information is too technical. I do understand however that the first thing I need to do is get my water tested and provide info on our family's water consumption? Can someone tell me how to do these and get started? Thanks.
First of all, are you on city water or a well? If you are city water, you can get your city's quarterly or annual water report. It may contain all the information you need.
If you have a private well, you can look on your state's website for certified drinking water labs. Contact the one closest to you and ask them about sampling protocols. They will have standard analysis sets for well water. Just make sure that you get, at minimum, the following:
pH, TDS, total hardness, iron, manganese, sulfides, nitrates, bacteria, turbidity.
Once you have the info, post it here, and we can help. You will also need to provide:
Number of people in your home
Any plans to change the number in your home within the next couple of years?
Number of bathrooms
Any high-water-use items, such as a multi-head shower or jetted tub?
Objectionable odors or color in your water?
In the mean time, look in your local yellow pages and call water treatment pros. They will go to your house and give you quotes for softeners. If you are in one of the areas in California where softeners are restricted, you may need to find a company that swaps your softener tank monthly and regenerates at their location.
Since you consider the information you have read on this site to be too technical, I would not recommend purchasing online. You will be better off with local support.
There are several requirements for any softener you ultimately purchase [Kinetico softeners are an exception]:
High quality American or German made resin. This will provide a tight size distribution for optimal flow within the resin
When you have WELL WATER: 8% crosslinked resin.
When you have CITY WATER: 10% crosslinked resin. The oxidizers that city water treatment plants use, such as chlorine or chloramine, are harmful to softener resins. Higher crosslinking will resist chemical attack longer.
Top basket. This serves two purposes. It sets up a proper water distribution during normal operation and prevents resin loss during backwash.
Gravel underbed. The gravel underbed is there to set up proper flow patterns, improve backwash and prevent channeling. Many softener sales companies like to leave this out or sell softeners with a vortex system instead. Vortex systems weigh less than gravel so they cost less to ship. In addition, they are a more expensive item that adds profit for the softener salesperson, but provides no additional benefit to the homeowner . It simply adds another piece of equipment that can break.
Fleck or Clack valves. These set the industry standard. Be aware that you will not be able to purchase Clack valves online. This is not a problem if you purchase locally.
Noryl bypass. Most softeners are available with either Noryl or stainless bypass valves. Both are good valves, but the noryl tends to be more reliable when not used for long periods of time.
Install the softener with a...
Thank you aliceinwonderland. We are on city water and I found the water report but unsure what I should relay. There is a whole page of information on tetrachloroethylene to chlorides and sulphates. Unsure which of the chemicals is responsible for the water stains and calcium buildup.
Number of people in your home - we are two adults and our teenage son
Any plans to change the number in your home within the next couple of years? No
Number of bathrooms 3
Any high-water-use items, such as a multi-head shower or jetted tub? We have a jetted tub but hardly use it.
Objectionable odors or color in your water? We have an RO system for drinking water which makes the water taste wonderful. Water out of tap has no color but taste is not pleasant.
I will start making calls for water treatment companies although the few I looked at online said they were plumbers. I will use your detailed checklist when I meet with them. I will post questions as they arise. Thank you very much for your help.
Here it is:
In case you can't open it, the website is http://rclwa.org
Hi Aliceinwonderland. I just met today with the Kinetico rep and he explained their system (KINETICO 4040s) and quoted me $3500 plus $300 for copper pipes needed to connect the system from our main water source to where it will sit. He also said that we would need to add salt probably once every six months to the system which is important for me as I don't want a system that needs us to add salt monthly. He gave me several referrals to people in my small town who have the system who I can talk to. I am sure Kinetico is an excellent system but what I came away with not knowing is if the other much less expensive systems are as good.
I got another email quote from another company that sells Pentair (Fleck) & Clack Corporation Commercial & Industrial Water Softener Systems.

From 7 inches pumpkin to 15 inches pumpkin
Yesterday i read about some guy who grew some disappointingly small pumpkins after all that he's done to grow them, like fighting squash bugs, cucumber beetles, aphids and some others. Almost all of his fruits were 7 inches or less. He's given up growing pumpkins altogether after that. This really remind me of my own experience last year. The place where i live is full of all sorts of squash growers, and they mostly don't rotate their crop, which makes every type of curcubit plant I grow attract nearby familiar pests. Because of my ignorance, I didn't really fight the cucumber beetles last year and neglected my pumpkins by letting the weeds do as they pleased. That was the worst mistake a gardener could make growing curcubit plants, to tolerate pests damage and weeds near their plants. The result was a lot of small 5 to 7 inches pumpkins that drop from the vine and dried very fast.
This year I fought the pests with extreme vigilance. Because I'm not into using pesticide, I wake up early in the morning to go to my pumpkin plant and catch every cucumber beetle and squash beetle(sometimes their numbers are overwhelming) that I can see. I also turned any damaged leaves, found a lot of cucumber beetles youngster(larva) and crushed them. I am lucky to not have SVB in my area which makes such a difference. Sometimes I found the underside of the leaves infested with aphids(I've seen a lot of lady beetles in my garden but apparently they are not enough) and I would cut off the leaves and step on them to crush them. After I learn about pumpkin nodes setting roots, I treat my pumpkin patch very differently. I pulled every single weed I could for my pumpkin vines to touch the bare ground underneath. And I changed the fertilizers I used last year to something that has more magnesium and sulfur in it. I also applied certain micro-nutrient mix such as Boron, Cobalt, Copper, Manganese, Zinc in small amount periodically. I think this change of fertilizers is really one of the decisive factor that my pumpkin this year is so lovely and so much bigger than last year's.
To those who love growing pumpkin and did not manage to get a satisfying yield, please do not give up after a single try. Grow it for a few more times and change the way you treat them and their surroundings. Your effort could really pay off one day.
Here is my pumpkin this year that has not grown to its fullest potential yet:
Today I learn that you should stop watering and feeding pumpkin about 10 days before you harvest it, allegedly to make the fruit sweeter and better textured. It is still ok (even recommended) to feed and water it at the early stage of fruit setting.
This post was edited by ceth_k on Sun, Aug 25, 13 at 23:17
Congratulations on your success and thanks for sharing what you've learned! I sure do know what it's like to make mistakes and be disappointed, but I am trying to learn from my first-time pumpkin-growing mistakes and have a bigger, better crop next year. I didn't even identify the spotted cucumber beetle until a week ago, and those little guys have probably been munching on my plants for months! And weeds? I have definitely learned about weed competition with my own struggling plants! It's been a great year for learning.
For anyone else who doesn't yet know about them, here's a link to the cucumber beetle page on wikipedia. Look at the pictures. There are striped AND spotted varieties. No, those are not yellow-green ladybugs. They are pests! Squish 'em! Squish 'em, now!
Here is a link that might be useful: Wikipedia: cucumber beetle

Opéra Garnier, Paris
2 Reviews
2 Reviews
The opulent Opéra de Paris Garnier was designed by Charles Garnier for Emperor Napoleon III. It is the most important symbol of the 19th century Second Empire baroque style.
Construction of the opera building started in 1862, but it wasn't completed until 1875, partly because an underground lake was discovered during construction. The small lake still exists under the opera building. It was the hiding place of the 'Phantom of the Opera' in Paul Leroux's famous play.
Since the construction of the modern Opéra de Paris Bastille in 1989, the majestic Opéra Garnier is now mainly used for ballet performances. It was also officially renamed 'Palais Opera'.
Even though the opera has a seating capacity of less than 2,200, the building is the largest theatre in the world by acreage. It is 172 meter long, 125 meter wide and reaches a height of 73,6 meter (564 x 410 x 241 ft). The facade is decorated with rose marble columns, friezes, sculpture groups and two large gilded statues.
The interior of the Opéra Garnier building is even more impressive than its exterior. The marble Grand Staircase has a height of 30m/98ft! The 54m long Grand Foyer features a mosaic covered ceiling and a large number of chandeliers. It is so luxuriously that it can be compared with the corridors in Versailles.
Behind the Grand Foyer and below the green copper dome is the lavishly decorated auditorium with red velvet, plaster cherubs and gold leaf. The auditorium's magnificent chandelier weighs a massive six tonnes. Its large ceiling was painted in 1964 by Marc Chagall. The stage behind the auditorium is 60 meter high and has room for up to 450 actors.
The Opera de Paris Garnier is located at the Place de l'Opera, in the 9e arrondissement, just north of the 2e arrondissement.
We were walking to the Opera Garnier and heard some interesting music. Some street performers were playng music and entertaining the crowd. We stopped for a bit to listen before going inside.

"Orfeo is the kind of novel that creeps slowly into a reader's consciousness and makes a home there. A beautiful, cerebral book that's as concerned with the past and how the decisions made by protagonist Peter Els shaped his personal philosophies and relationships and how music played a role in it all, as it is with the very real present and how Peter's hobbyist interest in DNA makes him an accidental bioterrorism threat. Orfeo is an intelligent and incredibly moving portrait of the role of art in both one man's life and society as a whole. Stunning!"

Alex Cross, Run
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Very good book! Probably the best alex cross book!
A silly book with a weak disjointed story., The whole book is steeped in Political Correctness and is therefore somewhat insulting to the reader..
Fast paced intrigue with an ending you could never guess.
I listened to the audio book on my way to work and home and it was gripping to listen to the story. The readers who were telling the story were very entertaining, loved the Alex Cross voice. I really enjoy this book and I will be reading this book on vacation.
Enjoyed "Run Alex Cross" by James Patterson. Multiple Serial killers, a troubled drug addicted foster daughter and exciting ending
Another great book. A real page turner.
Quick read. Another great book by James Patterson!!!
Had book and audio
Detective story about 3 serial killers at once. Easy read but was disappointed in the storytelling; not enough character or scenery descriptions to add color to the story. It lacked dimension. Would not recommend.
fast read -enjoyed

PartnerRe Ltd.
) announced its intention to purchase Presidio Reinsurance Group
- California-based leading U.S. specialty accident and health
reinsurer and insurer. The deal is expected to culminate by the
first quarter of 2013, subject to the fulfillment of regulatory
Presidio Reinsurance's business primarily consists of a
Managing General Agency (MGA) and a reinsurance carrier,
generating $250 million in accident and health premiums through
its 18-year history of underwriting profitability. It is a
leading health maintenance organization (HMO) reinsurance writer
and offers stop-loss insurance, medical treaty reinsurance,
accident insurance and reinsurance in the U.S.
PartnerRe has agreed to pay $72 million for the MGA and the
book value of the reinsurance carrier, which will be evaluated
during the closure of the deal. Moreover, the company has
accepted to augment the value of the business, if it exceeds
certain profitability targets over time.
We believe that the deal is a good-fit for PartnerRe and
complement its core growth strategy through diversification.
Presidio Reinsurance's strong market presence and proficient
management personnel should boost PartnerRe's business model,
while also exposing its product portfolio to another specialty
risk category that was least accessible to the company until now.
Additionally, expansion into newer markets and product lines will
also enhance its competitive leverage against arch-rivals such as
XL Group Plc
) and
W.R. Berkley Corp.
Earnings Review
Last month, PartnerRe reported its third quarter operating
earnings per share of $3.90. This significantly exceeded the
Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.06 and the year-ago earnings of
PartnerRe's results benefited from improved underwriting and
technical results coupled with a significant reduction in the
total expenses and combined ratio, which also drove the earnings,
return on equity (ROE) and book value. The top line also improved
due to enhanced net realized and unrealized investment gains.
However, continued decline in premiums earned along with lower
investment income, driven by low reinvestment and risk-free
rates, partly offset the improvements.
Moreover, for the fourth quarter of 2012, loss is pegged at 4
cents per share by the Zacks Consensus Estimate, and is expected
to decline about 98% year over year, primarily driven by increase
catastrophe losses from Hurricane Sandy. Nevertheless, earnings
are expected to escalate by about 192% over the prior year in
2012 to $8.76 a share. Currently, PartnerRe holds a Zacks #3
Rank, implying a Hold rating in the short-term.

Police searching for man who threatened Rowan County elementary school
Several Rowan County schools went into lock-down Wednesday after a man called Morgan Elementary School saying he was going to shoot people at noon.
Morgan Elementary School contacted the Rowan County Sheriff's Office of the threat. It was the last day for almost all schools that went into lock-down, which meant several parents and families were there for last day of school activities.
Activities resumed once authorities determined there was no active ongoing threat.
Rowan County Sheriff's Office investigators pinpointed the phone where the call came from to a pay-phone at a business on Jake Alexander Boulevard and Mooresville Road in Salisbury.
A small white SUV-type vehicle was at the pay-phone where the call was placed. The suspect is a white man. Anyone with information is asked to call Lt. Chad Moose at 704-216-8687.

If kids look brighter this month, the Afterschool Alliance may just get the credit. For the past decade, the Alliance has been holding Lights On Afterschool rallies around the country. This year, more than 7,500 events ? open houses, fun runs, street fairs and carnivals, sponsored by nearly 200 national organizations ? will be held mid-October to celebrate and educate about afterschool programs, including more than 300 in New York State. And the New York State Afterschool Network (NYSAN) is helping lead the charge. NYSAN is a statewide public-private partnership dedicated to increasing the quality and availability of programs that promote young people's safety, learning and healthy development during non-school hours. "Afterschool programs provide critical services for students," says Suzanne Goldstein of NYSAN on the importance of afterschool programs. ?Afterschool programs give students an opportunity to access enrichment and recreational activities including arts, sports and community service opportunities they might not have access to in school or elsewhere in their community.? Rachel Sabella of The After-School Corporation (TASC) in NYC agrees. ?Working parents have come to depend on afterschool programs as a primary means of child care during the hours after the school bell rings until they get home from work." Evaluations by the Afterschool Alliance indicate that approximately 27% of the children in New York State are home alone afterschool. Beyond enrichment, afterschool programs have a wider impact on participants. "Evaluations of afterschool programs have found that programs keep kids safe by reducing youth crime and violence, drug use and teen pregnancy; and students who regularly attend quality afterschool programs have better school attendance and do better in their classes," says Sabella. Lights On gives afterschool programs an opportunity to showcase their own success as well as inform the community about their programs. "Lights On draws attention to afterschool programs and informs the community about the services available for parents and kids," explains Sabella. "For those communities that don't have enough programming, we hope that Lights On will serve as an organizing effort to encourage the community to ask for these services." To find a local Lights On Afterschool event, visit the Afterschool Alliance website, www.afterschoolalliance.org.
Lights On, NYC The New York City Department of Youth and Community Development will host "A Celebration of Arts and Culture" at the Boys and Girls Harbor on October 12 from 4-5:30pm. The event will be open to the public and will feature performances by the Boys and Girls Harbor of East Harlem. For more information, contact Kenneth Scott, Department of Youth and Community Development, (212) 442-3136. On October 12, the Abyssinian Development Corporation will hold Open Houses at two locations highlighting several afterschool programs. More than 300 students will participate in the two events. For more information, contact Afterschool Ambassador Kima Reed, Abyssinian Development Corporation, at (646) 442-6543. Young people from five program sites will visit the Henry Street Settlement House afterschool program site at P.S. 134 in lower Manhattan on October 12 to celebrate Lights On Afterschool. The programs will host a joint open house for family and community members with the theme, "If we are not in our seats, we are in the streets." Elected officials representing the area are expected to attend. The event is being coordinated with support from Henry Street Settlement, University Settlement, The Coalition for After-School Funding and The After-School Corporation. For more information, contact Katha Cato, Henry Street Settlement House, (212) 766-9200.

Argentina's gutsy World Cup team is welcomed home
Argentina's national team was welcomed home Monday by thousands of fans celebrating its gutsy performance in the World Cup final.

Police officers detain several men after riot police fired tear gas and used water cannons to restrain a group of youths who hurled rocks and vandalized store fronts at a rally to celebrate Argentina's gutsy performance in a 1-0 loss to Germany in the World Cup finals, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sunday, July 13, 2014. Police said more than a dozen officers were injured and many more were arrested. The chaotic situation marred what was an otherwise spontaneous gathering of support for Argentina's national team after its best World Cup run in 24 years. (AP Photo/Jorge Saenz)

NFL Media draft analyst Lance Zierlein says NFL scouts "don't see the same explosiveness in [UCLA LB Eric Kendricks] as they see in his brother Mychal (Eagles LB), but they do see the same level of production and desire."
UCLA LB Eric Kendricks will visit the Cowboys on April 6, according to Dane Brugler.
ESPN's Todd McShay ranks UCLA QB Brett Hundley as the No. 5 QB in the class.
UCLA LB Eric Kendricks had a private workout with the Dallas Cowboys and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
NFL Media analyst Charles Davis notes that UCLA edge rusher Owamagbe Odighizuwa will "flash on tape but then won't pop up again for a while."
The Cardinals will put UCLA QB Brett Hundley through a private workout, according to Jeremy Fowler.
NFL Media draft analyst Lance Zierlein compares UCLA edge rusher Owamagbe Odighizuwa to Sam Acho and writes that the Bruin "has some scheme versatility, but he's not necessarily a versatile player."
UCLA LB Eric Kendricks, like brother Mychal (Philadelphia Eagles), "has that rare read-and-react instinct necessary to be a great inside linebacker," notes NFLDraftScout.com's Frank Cooney.
UCLA LB Eric Kendricks is the draft's safest 'backer due to his "durability, instincts, production and character," notes NFL media.
The Panthers and Colts traveled to UCLA to put Bruins LB Eric Kendricks through an on-campus workout.
UCLA LB Eric Kendricks models his game after 49ers' LB Patrick Willis.
UCLA QB Brett Hundley "flashes athleticism and talent, but his basic quarterbacking issues will take time to improve," according to NFL Media draft analyst Lance Zierlein.
ESPN Stats & Information's Sharon Katz passes along that UCLA LB Eric Kendricks led the nation in solo tackles two out of the last three years.
CBS Sports' Rob Rang reports that the Philadelphia Eagles held a private workout and film room session with UCLA QB Brett Hundley on Wednesday.
Seahawks GM John Schneider told Peter King the team has only graded 16 prospects as first-round talents in the 2015 class.

"Change as a way of life"
"Cultural change trumps technology"
To benefit from knowledge management, federal officials must start changing how they do their daily business, Mark Forman said April 23, and those who are unwilling to change will end up bowing to the inevitable or losing their jobs.
Knowledge management is about decreasing the time it takes to make decisions, a key metric for e-government and homeland security information technology initiatives, said Forman, associate director for IT and e-government at the Office of Management and Budget.
But knowledge management is more about changing the business processes and workflow of an agency to allow quicker decision-making than buying or building a system that will make current processes go faster, he said at the E-Gov Knowledge Management conference in Washington, D.C.
There is no "knowledge management system," he said, so managers must figure out how technology can enable employees to do their jobs more efficiently and effectively.
"We need to focus on results, not the science of information management," he said.
Using knowledge management means that agency officials must examine how to support more distributed decision-making, and how to make that happen more in real time. Forman said that there is no way to do that without breaking the "rice bowls" that ensure many federal managers' power, and those managers are going to have to accept those changes because of impatience within the administration and Congress.
"Those who are resisting will be overcome by events, or they will be taken out of their jobs," he said.

Overview of content related to 'information society'
This page provides an overview of 1 article related to 'information society'. Note that filters may be applied to display a sub-set of articles in this category (see FAQs on filtering for usage tips). Select this link to remove all filters.
An information society is a society where the creation, distribution, use, integration and manipulation of information is a significant economic, political, and cultural activity. The aim of the information society is to gain competitive advantage internationally, through using information technology (IT) in a creative and productive way. The knowledge economy is its economic counterpart, whereby wealth is created through the economic exploitation of understanding. People who have the means to partake in this form of society are sometimes called digital citizens. This is one of many dozen labels that have been identified to suggest that humans are entering a new phase of society. The markers of this rapid change may be technological, economic, occupational, spatial, cultural, or some combination of all of these. Information society is seen as the successor to industrial society. Closely related concepts are the post-industrial society (Daniel Bell), post-fordism, post-modern society, knowledge society, telematic society, Information Revolution, liquid modernity, and network society (Manuel Castells).

I am very happy with the product. I was unhappy about how scratched up was the exterior of the turtle shell itself. I got the impression that this product was not as cared for in the warehouse as it probably should have been. I would have returned it if I wanted to go through all the trouble of repackaging, shipping, and then waiting for a replacement. Scratches or no scratches, the rest of my experience with the product have been great. It does what I want. Nit keeps my electronics safe, it is comfortable; it is not as convenient to get inside as other backpacks, which should be expected, it is not like other backpacks. I would like it if the external zipper pockets on the sides were easier to open, maybe double zippers? Overall I am very satisfied with the cost and quality of the product. I was not impressed with Overstock's ability to store the product without allowing for external/aesthetic damage. Perhaps they could at least double check before shipping?
Excellent product for half the retail price. Couldn't be happier! I will be buying more at Overstock.com soon! Regards! Chris in Camarillo.
I purchased this for my friend who is going off to college. He says this is the best backpack he has ever had. It is not big and bulky like so many other bags. He loves inside is very protective. He says the straps are very comfortable
We are travelling to Eastern Europe, and we know that pick pocketing is rife. We wanted a safe and secure backpack, one that could not be slashed from behind. This is the perfect answer to our needs. We love the style and design. The construction is strong and has many features which make us feel safe and secure to travel. Highly recommended, have shown to friends, who were impressed. Buy one, you wont be disappointed.

Confessions - Learn from MeOkay, I'll be trying to make this simple. To explain the latest journal, and to share an experience that might help others that are in the same boat as me.Confessions - Learn from Me2 years ago in Personal More Like This
First things first: The original problem.
Ever since age 10-11 i've developed a very abstract way to see things. I've started thinking more and more how it would've been, If I could control the world. If I could be anything.
Create my worlds, live my worlds, die many times but keep the experiences before.
Rebirthing myself in another body with the experience I have now: I would be great. Phenomenal. I could fix my past mistakes.
And be so much more. Live so much more. Without fearing consequences. The world itself would be my playground.
It has fascinated me since, greatly. ( Monochrome is the artistic embodiment of this abstract emotion and thought.)
It has also been the fuel to my (soon to be developed) depression and suicidal thoughts.
I hate not having control. I hate having to feel bad, when I thought that by dying I would esca
Before you throw that pity party read thisBeing in touch with your weaknesses is important in order to grow as an artist, but are you so hung up on what you can't do well that it's holding you back?

I've seen far too many people on dA who post exercise after exercise, writing in the artist comments that once again they've failed, they've read hundreds of books, studied the masters for so many years, and they still cannot draw a photorealist rending of a man's head. First of all let me say that I highly respect "self taught" artists and I'm not discouraging anyone who chooses (or must) go that route. However, setting realistic goals and finding your niche is extremely important. Let me say this: not everyone will be able to paint like a Baroque period artist! But that doesn't mean you can't be a painter, it just means

Common Misconceptions: Traditional ArtFirst of all, hello! It's been almost a year since I contributed a blog post to this lovely group so I want to say hi I'm back folks! I have a lot of artsy things to share with you all that I've learned (and am still learning) so hang on tight! While I was thinking what to write as my first topic, I decided to kind of go back to the beginning as far as our thinking as artists goes in the creation process. I've come up with a short series called "Common Misconceptions" just to debunk some myths and misguided trends that are so often part of what we experience as we grow. This first "Common Misconceptions" topic will focus on traditional art.Common Misconceptions: Traditional Art2 years ago in Personal More Like This

Japanese 101Konnichiwa Minna san! Watashi wa baka desu! Watashi no shumi wa e wo kaku koto desu! Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! (^O^☆♪Japanese 1013 years ago in Personal More Like This
So okay some of you got jellin of my fine japanese language desu ne.
I thought of why not teach my lovely watchers speak japanese?
Okay let's start with the simple one. If you want your sentence to sound like japanese you need to put 'desu' at the end of each sentences. Now before we start using 'desu' let me tell you first what it means. It would be stupid if you're using the word that you don't know right? Okay the word 'desu' comes from the latin word 'Canius Femina' meaning bitch. For example I love you desu (I love you bitch).. Tehehe kidding aside. Okay the meaning of 'desu' is really hard to explain but basically it's a polite modifier or it can also mean " It is ", "Those are" , or "I am." or whatever.
Now that you know the word desu let's use it in a sentence.
Fuck you desu. V(=^・ω・^= )v

If you are considering going into the industry....If you are an artist or want to be one, especially if you want to get into the VFX industry, you should watch this:If you are considering going into the industry....1 year ago in Personal More Like This
It touches on a few things I feel are important to understand as an artist and even as consumers of art:
1.) Art is not an exact science. It can be difficult to put a price tag on it, let alone the often very complicated processes of making it.
2.) Computers are tools that facilitate our work but they DO NOT do the work for us.
3.) Don't get into this industry for the money. If you go into this line of work, you do it because you love it. If someone happens to get lucky or has a really great idea and he/she hits it big, GREAT! Good for him/her. But don't go in expecting that to happen to you. Chances are it won't. If you are lucky, you will find a nice middleclass job you can support yourself and your family on for a while...... until....

OCT 101 (2012) EDITDisclaimer: this is not a personal attack against any OCT's, oct admins, or conduct of oct admin teams in general.

FURTHER DISCLAIMER: every oct is different, someone doing things differently from the norm is not bad. These are all merely tools and guidelines meant to help. I've heard a lot about personal attacks being made using both my posts about OCT's as a way of bullying and pushing around the admins of other Tournament groups, and I do not condone it in the slightest.

If you don't accept criticism, you won't improveThis statement is, to be blunt, incredibly stupid. I see it repeated around DevianART and, as bad as it is hearing it from the general public, I have to laugh uproarously when I see it coming from an artist. I usually try to be more diplomatic, but sometimes my inner Snape just can't be contained.If you don't accept criticism, you won't improve3 years ago in Personal More Like This
Here is the reality of the situation. A person who is building a set of skills can improve without feedback of any kind. Through trial and error, a human being can identify their own mistakes and, with honest work, rectify those mistakes. To say that this is not possible is so counter to reality as to be absurd. I could give thousands of examples but I'll just say this: if it were not for an individual's ability to invent skills from within themselves we would have absolutely no skills to pass on to other people.
Is this a good reason to reject any kind of negative criticism or criticism in general? Does this mean that criticism is useless? Absolutely not. This
Diccionario argento (Argentilupis) IIHooola (?Diccionario argento (Argentilupis) II2 years ago in Personal More Like This
Segunda parte ^^ :NoMeDigas:
Primero que nada, quiero aclarar el "che", porque todo el mundo lo usa mal. Casi siempre lo ponen al final y noo, NO VA AL FINAL. Es como un "Hey", es un intento de llamar la atención de a quien le estás hablando. A lo sumo, si lo ponen al final, es como una queja, como un "Ufaa, che! Yo quería dulce de leche T-T" Eso. Escríbanlo bien, mierdass!
Otra aclaración: En Chile se dice "mina" y "mino", en Argentina no existe "mino". Es más, me suena rarísimo. Se puede decir chabon, pibe, flaco y etcétera. Una variación de "mina" es "minón", osea, cuando la mina está muuuy buena.
-Paja: Fiaca o masturbarse. Cuando se usa la segunda definición, en general se dice en frases como "hacerme una paja" o "me hice una paja". En los chabones es muy común la frase "me clavé una" refiriéndose a "hacerse una paja".
-Garchar: Tener relaciones sexuales o coito. En resumen, forma vulgar de decir "hacer el amor"

The Ten Percent RuleIf you are working on a completely shaded drawing, or a finished art work, you may wish to follow the the ten per cent rule, which runs as follows: Make roughly ten per cent of your shaded areas black or near-black, and roughly ten percent white or near-white, with the rest of the artwork composed of a range of middle tones. This rule follows my deeper art philosophy that "beauty is in the middle tone." All areas of tonality must also follow the rule of balanced composition. I'm just formulating this rule now, but it seems that many high quality masterpieces, such as finished oil paintings and the best drawings, follow it to some extent. (not always, but many, I think.) For example, here's a typical masterpiece, a piece of art by Degas: http://penonpointe.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/edgar-degas-the-rehearsal.jpg I think you can very clearly see the ten per cent rule in effect here.The Ten Percent Rule2 years ago in Personal More Like This

This round will be treated like a qualifier. We want you to show us what you can do, but don't go absolutely all out right at the start! A certain number of contestants (depending on how many participate in this round) will move on to Round Two.
In this round, your contestants will be having a ONE ON ONE BATTLE WITH YOUR FACTION'S ASSISTANT. You must show your character winning for your character to advance. Though the definition of "winning" is up to you! As long as it's clear (a draw would also be considered a victory). No switching Pokemon mid battle. You must pick one Pokemon and stick to it throughout the whole battle*.
*Note on the turn-based style fighting: it is like the games, but not exactly. Basically it just means taking turns, but you are more than welcome to mix it up as well. We won't penalize you for it.

but apparently rule 1 is promote preorders. preorders are crucial for independent books as they define the print runs, and are crucial to the sucess of the book.. so.. as my far more experienced friends told me to do....

about a year ago i was irresponsible did some things i shouldn't have, like drugs. and I did some silly stuff like draw porn of creepypasta characters. . it's not okay to use drugs as an excuse to draw porn where minors can see it i have removed the porn and people have put it on proper sites. and I'm sorry to the original creepypasta fandom who have to deal with my ooc characters becoming the "norm" i really didn't want this comic to get so out of hand. i can be a little two-faced at times im just so scared of upsetting people i ended up upsetting so many people.
that's all i really have to say I guess.
