Architecture of Lebanon
|This article may need to be rewritten entirely to comply with Wikipedia's quality standards. (August 2012)
The architecture of Lebanon, or often referred to as the Lebanese architecture, is a resemblance of the history and culture of Lebanon. The houses are minuscule representations of family heritage and the old buildings are outlined by the history of different eras the country lived some of which left beauties of art still present till our days while others brought the unexpected. Architecture in Lebanon is mostly cultural towns and cities in Lebanon hold structures dating back a thousand of years to the dates of the nations earliest human inhabitants.
The first residential houses in Lebanon were the Phoenician houses,[1] which changed during time. They started first as being built from randomly collected bricks. These bricks were used to build houses which took the conformation in the shape of a rectangular box. The measurements where small for both the width and the height of the houses. The roofs where always formed from huge rocky segments. The perception deriving the method of building a house met some changes after the third millennium BC, the walls of the houses increased in height, some were built with stones, others remained rectangular but all increased in dimensions. The exterior and the interior walls where covered sometimes with mud. Lebanese houses, at the beginning of its composition incorporated the rules of the Ottoman Empire days, leading to the exit of the French mandate.
Lebanon is known for the having many famous castles built years ago in different eras. Most of the castles were built of stones, many of them are still standing today but damaged due to repeated number of civil wars that Lebanon had faced. Lebanon is one of today's most visited countries in the world due to its rich historical sites and its Mediterranean climate favored by many from all around the world.
Baalbeck is counted as one of the Roman treasures in Lebanon, as in this city the ancient Roman temples are found. These temples have been built at the end of the third millennium B.C. The city was referred to as the city of the sun (Heliopolis) by the Greek.[2] The temples have face theft, earthquakes and civil wars and most of it was destroyed, which then lead to the French, German and Lebanese archaeologists to interfere and try to rebuild the temples trying to make it look as similar to the original one. In 1984, Baalbek was reported to be made a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.[3] They have referred to it as being "the finest example of imperial Roman architecture". They saw how important such structure was to the country and wanted to make it known world wide.^ The Jupiter temple is a six Corinthian columns of the great temple. It is a 22 meters high and is built on a podium. In this Temple, only six columns remain out of the 54 giant columns that originally surrounded the sanctuary.^ The little temple is found near the Jupiter Temple is known as the Temple of Bacchus it was built in the second century A.D. And considered to be the best preserved Roman temple of its size.[4]
Beirut's history goes back to more than 5000 years. The city has a its own unique ambiance with modern buildings alongside arabesque Ottoman buildings, giving Beirut a distinctive style often not seen in other Middle Eastern cities. Beirut was also a city of glory during the Roman era. It then became occupied by different civilizations some of which were the Crusaders in 1109, the Mamluks in 1291 and then Ottomans who stayed in Lebanon for a consecutive 400 years until 1916. The country then went through a period of French mandate until 1943, and during which a touch of the European architecture was introduced.
Today, Roman and Byzantine structures are found in the city as finger prints of those eras that had passed. Beirut is famous for a group of five columns that were discovered underground in the heart of the city during late 1963. The group on columns were traced back and found to be a small part of a grand colonnade of Roman Berytus.[5]
Beit ed-Din Palace[edit]
The Beit ed-Dine palace complex was built by Amir Bechir El-Chehab II early 19th century. This palace is one of the greatest representations of the authentic Lebanese architecture and how this Lebanese culture started to be imprinted in the architecture. The palace entrance leading through the gates into an opened space which is a 107 rectangular square-kilometre long and 45 meters wide. This area was originally used in the past for cavalry practices, and for celebrations, which were attended by the public, visitors and important people of that time. The rooms inside the palace have been changed from their ordinary host accommodating nature to become a museum visited by many everyday, with the exception of keeping original pictures, transcripts and documents as they were before to ensure the history remains alive. The museum today holds a collection of ancient pottery from different eras. It also contains a collection of Romanian gold jewelery, Islamic glazed wares, and many ethnographic objects of value. This cultural venue also holds a combination of ancient and modern weapons that takes the visitors on a historic expedition.[6]
Temple of the Obelisks[edit]
Byblos is know to be one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world as there is a proof of civilization traced back to around 8800 years B.C.[7][8] The city contains historical ruins like the Castle and the church which were originally built by the Crusaders in the 12th and 13th centuries AD. The castle holds a historical story where it has been built, surrendered and regained by Crusaders. It takes shape of the Crusaders designs on the columns, their wall designs and the entrance structures. The castle has multiple vaults insides indicative of ancients architecture and linking back to its history.
Sidon is one of the very popular historic and touristic destinations in Lebanon.The two main cultural influences on Sidon were the Egyptian Pharaohs and the Greeks. The city is known for the castle of Sidon which is a castle on the sea that was built in 1228 by Crusaders. The castle was built on the remains of a Phoenician shrine dedicated to the God Melkart. This castle's location falls on an island in the Lebanese city of Saida, it is about 80 meters from the beach, linked by bridge building on a rocky nine barrages. The roof is usually used for site seeing providing an exquisite view of the port and the old remains of the city. The city Sidon by itself has become a touristic destination because of its value in the history of the country as a whole and for the beauty of its architecture.[9]

Former NASCAR national series competitor Colin Braun led his CORE Autosport team to victory in the Rolex 24 At Daytona's Prototype Challenge class, after starting the No. 54 ORECA FLM09 on the pole. The car – with Braun, Jon Bennett, James Gue and Mark Wilkins the drivers – finished ninth overall.
Braun has 84 NASCAR starts, 31 in the NASCAR Nationwide Series and 53 in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, with one victory, in the truck series at Michigan International Speedway in 2009. Braun was the truck series' 2009 Sunoco Rookie of the Year.
He also has one previous Daytona victory – a 2006 overall win in the old summertime sports car race, the Brumos Sports Car 250.
The CORE car was dominant in PC – a spec prototype class – from the moment it hit the 3.56-mile Daytona International Speedway road course.
"I think it really all comes down to our preparation over the winter," Braun said. "Then we got here and just executed our plan. Quickest in both practices ... qualifying on the pole ... leading the most laps in the race. It's nice when a race goes that way. Just a perfect race for us. And it's really cool to win at Daytona, which is obviously a special place."

Samsung Galaxy Nexus due November, Android 4.0 onboard
By Pawel Piejko
October 19, 2011
Google and Samsung have announced the world's first smartphone running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) - the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, a.k.a. Nexus Prime. Featuring a lineup of Google software upgrades such as Face Unlock and NFC-based Android Beam, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has a slightly curved 4.65-inch Super AMOLED screen working in 720p (1280x720) resolution, a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM and HSPA+ network support as standard, with LTE support depending on the region.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus with "pure Google experience"The Samsung Galaxy Nexus boasts a 5-megapixel rear camera equipped with autofocus, LED flash, zero shutter lag feature, improved low-light performance and panoramic picture mode. It's capable of capturing 1080p Full HD 30fps videos and there's also a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls.
Other hardware specs aren't too shabby either - 16/32GB of internal storage, Bluetooth 3.0, NFC support, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n (2.4GHz/ 5GHz), Wi-Fi hotspot mode and 1,750 mAh battery. Galaxy Nexus also incorporates a number of sensors including accelerometer, compass, gyro, light, proximity and a barometer.
The smartphone has a slip-resistant hyper-skin backing and a slightly round-shaped housing and it measures just 8.94 mm (0.35 inch) thick and weighs 135 g (4.76 oz).
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus will hit the shelves in United States, Canada, Europe and Asia in November. There's no word on carriers at this point, although it's rumored that Verizon will offer the new Nexus in the U.S.
Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)According to Google, the 4.0 version of its mobile OS is optimized for both phones and tablets. Along with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus announcement, Google has revealed a set of features specific to the new OS:
- Face Unlock - using facial recognition to unlock the phone
- Android Beam - NFC-based feature allowing to quickly share web pages, apps, and YouTube videos with friends by "simply tapping your phones together"
- People - a new app allowing to browse groups of contacts with high-resolution photos and status updates uploaded from Google+ and other social sites
- redesigned lock screen (with new lock screen actions), home screen and phone app
- new software navigation buttons and resizable widgets
- improved multitasking and notifications
- new font optimized for HD displays
- faster desktop-class browser with ability to sync bookmarks with Google Chrome
- NFC and Wi-Fi hotspot support
- Live effects for graphical transformations of videos captured in the Camera app
- pre-loaded apps: Android Market, Gmail, Google Earth, YouTube, Movie Studio, Google Maps 5.0 with 3D maps and turn-by-turn navigation, Google Calendar syncing, Google+app
Take a look at the following promotional video presenting Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0:
It looks like a lot of very cool things all packed into one smartphone.... the big question is; has Google and Samsung worked out all the bugs or are they just trying to get a new product to market ASAP?Dana Lawton
And all this extra power and functionality comes at what cost regarding battery life?
With the current models struggling to get through a day of moderate use without needing a recharge. are we now nearing the point where supposedly mobile devices will need to be permanently connected to a mains outlet?A'Tuin
Probably wouldn\'t have such a problem with battery life if consumers weren\'t so hung up on slimmer and slimmer phones. I have an extended battery case on my Fascinate and it carries throughout the day with no problems, just weighs a little more and the phone is thicker.Mark Keller
Google's Android has been a success all across the world. Google and Samsung launched their new smartphone named Galaxy Nexus. Samsung's Galaxy line has been particularly impressive, especially its Galaxy S II, which is a tough competition to Apple's iPhones. Its Nexus S too was well accepted by consumers. http://www.techiecop.com/samsung-google-launches-galaxy-nexus-that-uses-ice-cream-sandwich.htmlNancy Steopher

Powerbook G4 RAM Help?!
hello everyone, i have a powerbook g4 DLSD/HR(dual layer super drive/high resolution) 1.67GHz aluminum laptop. standard 80gb hard drive and upgraded 1gb stick of ram when i bought it making 1.5gb
i was checking online and on everymac.com it says this laptop can only go up to 2gb of ram max but on tiger direct i found the exact fitting ram for this laptop that comes in 2gb chips?
does this mean everymac.com is just out dated because this was said when only 1gb pc2 4200 ram sticks were made or can the powerbook not handle 4gb of ram and thats why its only 1gb sticks max?
the reason i was thinking this is wrong is because it says it takes pc2-4200 ddr ram. my mac under "about this mac" says 1.5gb ddr2 sdram. there for everymac.com is wrong when it said it uses ddr ram because my mac has ddr2 ram.
i was just going to buy a single 1gb stick for this and max the ram out but once i found out i can double what i was going to have i decided its worth asking about it.
thanks to anyone who can help

Max RAM in 1.5GHz PB
I would go to Crucial and download there Mac System Scanner and that will tell you exactly how much RAM your PowerBook can handle.
Also Crucial will sell RAM that runs at the correct Speeds ect.
As not all RAM will work in the PowerBooks my PowerBook G4 12" can only take 1.5GB of RAM.
I think you model has some memory soldered to the logic board as mine has 128MB soldered to the logic board plus the 256MB Module in the expansion slot.
http://www.crucial.com/mac/index.aspx and click "download the Scanner" and it will tell you what you can get for your powerbook.

The 15" powerbook is limited by its hardware to 2 gigs of ram; it will not be able to use more than that. Likewise, the 12" powerbook is limited to 1.25 gigs of ram.

this just made things even more confusing.
that program said it failed to find blah blah blah so i had to put in all of my laptop info on the webpage that popped up and it said my laptop can only handle max of 2gb and not to exceed 1gb per slot.
so that answers my question.. kinda..
it also says the laptop comes with 512mb pre installed which mine still has the oem ram in it. now the problem is that program/site says i need DDR PC2700
IN the "about this mac" section under more info it says the 512mb stick in this laptop is DDR2 PC2-4200 ??!?
so clearly this is wrong because my laptop can run ddr2 pc2-4200 ram yet im getting different information from other sites?
should i just drop the whole 4gb idea and go for a single 1gb stick of ddr2 pc2-4200 ram to match the other one in here or would this really be work looking into this more?

The maximum it can handle is 2GB, so it sounds like you would want to buy an additional 1GB PC2-4200 DDR2 200-pin SODIMM (for a total of 2GB). (source: MacTracker & Apple)

Like the original poster I also have a 1.67 GHz Powerbook G4 with 1.5 GB RAM and would like to upgrade to 2 GB.
I used Kingston's memory tool to find out which memory to buy, but to confuse things even more there seems to be "generic" memory and "system specific" memory (the latter being the most expensive).
I posted about this in another thread where nobody's replied so far, so I'm wondering if someone here knows if I can just go for the "generic" memory and save a bunch in the process?
|Nov 3, 2009, 03:02 PM
When I bought the Kingston 1 GB memory module more than 3 years ago I didn't know there was such a thing as "system specific", so I just asked for a 1 GB with the specifications needed. It's worked fine ever since.
If I am to follow your advice and buy system specific memory for it I need to scrap all my existing memory and buy two 1 GB modules.
Do I really need to do that?
PS. The RAM I bought wasn't cheap (and not in the sense that it was a "no-name" brand either).

Powerbook G4 Maxes out at 2GB
Kingston's configuration tool shows this system maxes out at 2GB of memory, see the link below. http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/conf...submit1=Search
Kingston's system specific memory (part number KTA-PB533/1GB) is guaranteed compatible with this laptop. The memory is also covered by a lifetime warranty.
You can currently buy this product directly from Kingston for $37 (as of 11/5).

The 12" Powerbooks had only 128mbs of ram soldered on the board in the first two revisions. when they hit 1.33 and 1.5ghz, Apple put 256mbs on the board. No 12" powerbook could take more than 1 gig extra because they only have one memory slot. Total for last revision powerbook of ram is 1.25gb.
On the 15" aluminum powerbooks, they had two memory slots.
The first revisions took DDR 2700 ram. The final revision which OP owns, takes faster DDR2 ram. I think there is some advantage to having matched pairs of ram, but I could be wrong.

Kerry O'Connor commented on a link
One of the ways that I've come to think about this conundrum is this: innovation and creativity are by necessity "divergent" activities - it's about exploring and experimenting, going wide. Whereas decision-making is by necessity a "convergent" activity - simplifying and eliminating choices. Organizations are by necessity decision-making machines. Giving them more choices (aka ideas) doesn't help make it run any better. This is truth. Ideas are chaotic. As they should be to some degree. What we need is a better space, set aside time, to explore and experiment. Because truly every idea is not a good one, but we can't let that stop us from trying, because each time we try, we learn and grow. I hope the many more organizations will create incubators where people can go explore and experiment with their ideas, and figure out how to refine them and bring them into the decision-making structure. There's a time for divergence, and there's a time for decision-making. When it comes to creativity in our work places, we need to start being intentional about what's needed, when, and making time for it.

Men are from Mars and Women are from Mars, too?
There's been a lot of press coverage this week about a presentation by Steve Benner at this year's Goldschmidt conference in Florence supporting the idea that life on Earth originated on Mars, and then spread to Earth. This would mean we're ALL Martians. I'm not at the meeting (new baby + sequestration), so I didn't see the presentation. From what I can piece together, it provides nice support in the form organic chemistry for a very exciting hypothesis… but the idea still needs a LOT of work in the form of geochemistry/planetary chemistry before the majority of scientists

Don't hide your pride
Do you remember what you were like when you were 21? I do, and let me just say I still had some growing up to do.
I was shy, even timid. Yet when I joined the Mesa Host Lions Club in Arizona, even though I was its youngest member, I felt comfortable, even empowered. The club put me right to work, and several members served brilliantly for me as role models and mentors.
Today I am at ease with leadership and in public speaking, as I need to be as your new international president, of course. I owe my growth as a Lion and as a person to other Lions.
I cite this story because it not only introduces me to you but also because it perfectly illustrates my presidential theme. This year I urge Lions to "Strengthen the Pride". Strengthen the pride through service, membership development, club dynamics and other ways. But also cultivate your own growth as a Lion by taking advantage of the best resource we have: other Lions. Role models and mentors surround each of us. Let's all grow our clubs and our personal desire to serve by leaning on each other and learning from each other.
"Lion" is a great moniker. Our founders chose it because it symbolised courage, strength, activity, and most of all, fidelity. The lion symbol "stands for loyalty to a friend, loyalty to a principle, loyalty to a duty, loyalty to a trust," according to a LION Magazine story in 1931. So this year, as we launch our celebration of the centennial in 2017, let's strengthen our courage, strength, activity and fidelity.
As the great Helen Keller said, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." Strengthen our pride, indeed, and always keep in mind that our pride, both in terms of our self-esteem as volunteers and our family of Lions, is our strength.
Strengthen the pride through membership development. Strengthen your own club. Strengthen the pride through leadership, creativity, partnerships, rededication. Strengthen the pride through courage and conviction.
Focus on community and humanitarian service, and STRENGTHEN THE PRIDE.
Joe Preston
Lions Clubs International President

Mathematics Activities with Different Size Groups
The Building Blocks Program dedicates several weeks to shape composition. One theme is puzzles. In a whole-group setting, the teacher asks the children what puzzles they like to solve at home and at school. She discusses various types of puzzles and what puzzles are, showing some examples, telling the children she will put them all out in the mathematics centers. She then introduces a new kind of puzzle: outline puzzles that can be completed with geometric shapes (e.g., pattern blocks or tangram pieces). She solves a simple puzzle with the children, using their ideas as to solutions.
Later, with small groups of four children, the teacher introduces several of the outline puzzles. She carefully observes children's solutions to these, evaluating where each child is in the learning trajectory for shape composition. Based on these observations, she provides individuals with puzzles at different levels of the learning trajectory (or mathematics teaching-learning paths), individualizing the challenge for each child.
Meanwhile, the teacher's assistant observes and discusses children's work with the puzzles in the mathematics center, as well as supervising those in other centers, allowing the teacher to concentrate on the small-group work. One special center involves a series of computer activities, the Piece Puzzler series, in which children also solve puzzles by manipulating pattern blocks or tangram pieces to complete similar outline puzzles. They use icons of the geometric motions to slide, turn, and flip the shapes into place. Individualized help and feedback are offered to them immediately. For example, if they put on too large a shape, covering the puzzle and also other areas, the computer activity makes the shape transparent and shows them that it covers too much (something difficult to show with physical manipulatives). Also, the computer activity automatically adjusts the levels of the puzzle to match the children's development along the learning trajectory.
ment. Among the typically observed play experiences in an early childhood classroom are constructive play, such as block building; play with table toys (manipulatives, puzzles, Lego blocks); pretend play; mathematical play; and games, including ones in which mathematics is a secondary focus, as well as ones in which mathematics is the primary focus. (Of course children also engage in outdoor play, rough-and-tumble play, and other forms of play that have benefits as well.)
Play, especially block play, provides valuable opportunities for children to explore and engage in mathematical activity on their own (Ginsburg, 2006; Hirsch, 1996). Young children enjoy playing with blocks, and there is evidence that they naturally engage in mathematical play with them (Seo

Poll: Unusual sources for family research?
Historical records are essential to help us learn more about our families.
MyHeritage has recently added millions of historical records to our data collections, with access to over 4 billion historical records, millions of public family trees and newspaper articles in our online digital archive - SuperSearch. These include grave stones, military records, yearbooks, posters and even mugshots!
We want to know now what are some of the strangest places you have found information about your family members? What are some unusual sources you've used to locate information? The more unusual, the better! Let us know via the poll below and your comments.
Surname of the Week: Churchill
Welcome back to our weekly edition of the history of English surnames.
Today we look at CHURCHILL, in honor of Sir Winston Churchill's famous Iron Curtain speech made on March 5, 1956.
Churchill, an ancient Norman name that arrived in England after the Norman conquest of 1066, derives from the town Curcelle, which became confused with the English name "Churchill."
This geographical surname comes from various towns named Churchill (in Oxfordshire, Somerset and Worcestershire). The name goes back to pre-7th century Old English for cyrice (church) and hyll (hill). The surname means "the church on the hill."
There is one known case where the name's translation is different.

Valentine's Day: Love stories to share?
For thousands of years, lovers have expressed their admiration in a variety of mediums, but nothing compares to the classic love letter.
The greatest love story is not from the movies or a book, but our own lives! MyHeritage would like to hear your personal and family tales of romance.
Love stories are not necessarily a typical Cinderella tale or a Romeo-and-Juliet romantic tragedy. We hear words of endearment in movies, and read them in passionate stories in our favorite novels, yet our own stories are the ones that are timeless pieces of history. They are the ones that are closest to our hearts.
How did you or your ancestors meet? Is there a unique proposal story in your family, or a tale of finding a lost love? Share your story with us, and we will share some of the best in our Valentine's Day special. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, or leave a comment below, via Facebook, Twitter or Google +.

Black History Month: Resource roundup
In honor of Black History Month, established in 1926 and celebrated in February, here's a roundup of resources – websites, blogs, repositories and more – to help you learn more about your family. Each resource listed offers more links to additional information.
Today is also the birthday of African American baseball superstar Henry Louis "Hank" Aaron, born in 1934. A major league baseball icon, Aaron is best known for breaking Babe Ruth's home run record. Read more on Aaron.
For many black families with roots in the Southern US states, research can be frustrating. Although African American genealogy research can get back to the 1880s and much earlier, it is difficult for most researchers. Researching their family trees has been almost impossible, as their ancestors' original names were literally erased. Slaves' African given names were replaced by English names and their surnames were those of their owners.
With the advent of new databases and technological tools, research has become much easier. A growing number of individuals are preparing their family stories and discovering images of their unique history. Continue reading "Black History Month: Resource roundup" »
Looking at history: Images 101
Your grandmother had one.
So did your mother.
I'll bet you also have one.
In the back of a high closet shelf, in the basement, in your attic, you have some kind of a container.
It may be an old metal box that held cookies a lifetime ago, an old shoebox or hatbox, a modern plastic container with a snap-on lid, or even a handy-dandy sealed plastic bag stuck in a drawer.
The contents may include dried flowers, holiday and life-cycle event cards, and many old photographs. If this is your personal collection, you'll likely know who the people were and when the image was taken. That's good.
However, these treasured possessions may have belonged to your great-grandmother. She, if you are very fortunate, may have written lightly in pencil on the back. The lady in the strange hat is Cousin Helen, you learn, but you've never heard of anyone with that name.
If you are even luckier, the inscription may indicate that it's a holiday gift from "your dear brother in London." You've never heard of anyone who had a brother in London.
If your relative was somewhat obsessive, he or she may have recorded the names, dates and places on each photograph. In this case, your genealogy colleagues around the world will congratulate you on your good fortune!

Hey Good job! You're improving steadily.
You should draw the eyes though
Now, about the latest study - it's good shading practice, but the construction isn't really good. I think you should focus more on understanding the skull when drawing faces. The face is skewed at the moment and the mouth is pushed too much to the side. I don't know if you use them, but I'll say it anyway - use construction lines. Define the positions of the face's major landmarks before putting in any details. Then always check to see if you're still following these guidelines.
Also, I think you should focus on linedrawings now. It'll help you clear up the construction issues much faster. Try to make a line only copy of the photo you've used as a reference. See what happens. It'll take a lot less time and that way you'll be able to do a lot more studies and thus - learn more. This doesn't mean you should stop using Photoshop and values, but I believe you would benefit if you focus on linedrawing and understanding construction.
When you're drawing a hand, or a face, or whatever, always think about its three dimensional shape. So when you draw a face a put in the centerline think about how it goes around the form in 3D. You'd be surprised how much easier things get once you get used to this.
And lastly - measure. Compare the distances between major landmarks in the subject you're drawing and in your drawing.
Anyway - as I've said you're progressing really good so, just draw a lot and have fun

I'm impressed again! Good work! As monstertree pointed out, the improvement is noticeable.
About the caveman - one thing that's bugging me is the club being behind the loincloth. Not that it's not possible, but it doesn't make much sense for him to be holding the club between his legs instead of in front of them. Also, what Camara says is true - try to separate the figure from the background. Bounced light is a good idea. It really makes things pop out. Just do what you did with the lower part of the legs. BTW I love how you've rendered the hand with the club. Really nice!
Give some attention to the toes too. Right now the feet look cut off. Either that or it looks like he has hooves. Also - put some shadows cast from the "necklace". It'll help integrate it with the rest of the picture.
And lastly, try to be more consistent with the light source. I can't determine where the light is coming from now. Of course, it could just be me being stupid
Aaalsoo... the grumpy sheriff is great!
I'm really proud of your progress over the past few months. Keep doing studies and remember to use loose flowing lines. And just have fun with it

Hi there!
Im all good, slacking to much, but theres a cure!
Hope all is well and everythng!
So first, Is that black you used when shading the Oger with thw bone? Its a rookie mistake to shade with black. Look at things in your room. what color does everything get its color from? Put a red pencil on a white paper, what color does the shadow have? Slightly red.
Second look. Look at lighting. The lighting on the legs sugest a quite sharp light from both sides while on the torso the light comes from front and a bit above. The lighting on the neck puts light from behind him. I gets a bit messy and it would have a better mood and a more professional feel if you thought of this first.
Try to pin out the light source in the walue sketch, it helps bring out the shapes and set the mood.
Keep working mate!

Elecric Head
Mine is the Jabsco - Quiet Flush Electric Head-Raw Water model. I see it advertised for $659.99 at Boater''s World. Others may have it for less.
It has been perfect to date. At the end of last season I was prepared to disassemble the plumbing because water flow was seriously reduced. Turned out to be a discarded "item" lodged at the drain by a lubberly lady (we can leave it at that I assume?).
I meant by "nasty job" only what you would expect anytime you have to tear into the "business end" of a toilet. Fortunately for me that job is still off in the undefined future.
In any case, I encourage your idea to install an electric head in your boat. Assuming the installation goes properly - the operation of the head is very simple and much more "intuitive" to non-boating friends. Its dependability has been a very pleasant plus for many - myself included. Even with the macerator however, it is not intended to dispose of anything other than, ah, hmmmm "organic" and tissue materials.

Listen, everyone born after 1930 gets it:
smoking has risks
. What has been proven again and again is that citizens who don't spend effort in the area of risk assessment, do a very poor job of comparing risks between subjects.
Saying: "smoking is risky" is an empty statement. Saying: "smoking a cigarette is more dangerous than living in NYC for 2 days (in 1979) or living in Denver for 2 months", is making a statement that has some context. BTW it is also untrue, of the three, smoking the cig would be the least dangerous...
OK, you have no idea what you're talking about. You don't know what a strawman is. But that's fine, I didn't bring it up for you. It was for any intellectually honest readers who might come across this thread. Worse, your a habitual liar. You just make s**t up as you go along.

Tips for Traveling With Diabetes
In this article
For people with diabetes, going on vacation or traveling for business requires extra planning. Changes in meal patterns, activity levels, and time zones can affect your blood sugar levels. Here are some tips to make traveling easier.
Before You Leave
- Make an appointment with your health care provider to discuss your travel plans.
- Get twice as many supplies needed to travel and bring extra prescriptions and a letter from your doctor explaining that you have diabetes.
- If you need immunization shots, plan to get them three to four weeks before your trip. Some of these shots can upset your blood sugar levels.
- Be prepared. Know what facilities are available within the region you will be visiting.
What Should I Bring With Me?
- Bring your doctor's name and phone number and keep it with you at all times.
- Bring a list of current medicines and keep it with you at all times.
- Always carry and wear medical identification that states that you have diabetes.
- Keep medicines, syringes, and blood sugar testing supplies in your carry-on luggage. Do not check these supplies with your luggage, in case it is lost. Also, the cargo hold is not heated or insulated well, so medicine and supplies can be damaged.
- Take enough medicines and medical supplies to last an extra week in case you get stranded or stay longer than you planned.
- Have a traveling companion carry some of your medical supplies, if possible.
- Always carry some type of sugar source in case you develop hypoglycemia.
- Inform the airlines, cruise ships, and tour guides in advance that you have diabetes.
- Test your blood sugar more often than usual.
At the Airport
Steps you can take to make your trip through airport security hassle-free include:
- Make sure you tell security that you are diabetic and that you are carrying medical supplies. Your supplies can be taken through security check points, but they must have a prescription label on them.
- All of your supplies should have a proper manufacturer's label.
- Syringes will be allowed through security if you have insulin with you.
- If you are wearing an insulin pump, you must notify security. They will visually inspect the meter. You must request that the meter not be removed.
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

I don't think you will find one UAW member that says they personally benefited from the bailout. 15% wage decrease, higher contributions to benefits, trimming of retirement packages. Nah, the autoworkers didn't get a bailout. They just got to keep their jobs. All in all I think that's a pretty good deal.
Bush stepped in because the senate didn't want to appropriate more money. The senate didn't have control over how the $700 B bailout package could be applied, but Bush did. Instead of adding to the existing fund, they're just using part of it. Personlly, I think he did the right thing at this time given the circumstances. It's easy to say let them go belly up. The economic impact across the nation would have been disasterous. Car dealers ships can't survive on service alone. Look at all of the gas stations that are food and fuel now, no auto repair. The trickle down impact from letting the Detroit 3 go under would have set the US economy back 10 years.

Patient Comments: Crohn's Disease - Diet
What diet changes did you have to make, or continue to make to control the symptoms of your Crohn's disease?
Comment from: Golfer, 13-18 Female (Patient) Published: March 13
I am 16 and I've been diagnosed with Crohn's since November of last year. Because of my disease I've had very severe weight loss. My GI told me to eat every couple hours and eat food that was high in protein and fiber but while low in fat. I avoid a high amount of fried food and spicy food too. I can handle very minor amounts of milk and dairy. I find that veggies and fruit always sit with me well, along with most cereals. Turkey and chicken are my main meats now but I occasionally eat beef and pork. It all just depends on how touchy my stomach is that day.
Comment from: Kendra, 13-18 Female (Patient) Published: December 19
Today I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease during my colonoscopy. I am 15 and I have been having diarrhea, stomach cramps, trouble eating, slight loss of weight, waking up in the middle of the night to "go", and a decreased appetite for the past year. We went in to get it checked out last December at my check-up and they drew blood and got stool samples. All of the tests didn't show anything. They told me to try a certain medication for a while and see if it works. The medication didn't work so we came back and I was referred to a GI doctor. I had to wait 3 months until the doctor had an open clinic. When I went to the clinic the GI doctor observed me and said that everything seemed mostly normal, other than diarrhea of course. He gave us a plan to try. He told me to try a lactose free diet, which didn't work. Then he had me try a medication to relax my bowels before eating , this didn't help either . The next option was to have a colonoscopy. In the hopes of getting more answers we scheduled a colonoscopy. After finding out I had Crohn's disease, I didn't know what to think. I worry a lot about what could happen when I get older. I am very active in volleyball and I play year round. It has affected me in the past volleyball season because I always had to go. I really hope it doesn't get worse.
Comment from: Gramma2nine, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: December 07
After being hospitilized for very low iron, I received 4 units of blood, an endascope and a colonascopy. I also had a pill cam. I was told I had Crohn's Disease and small ulcers at the bottom of my small intestine. I have explosive bowel movements or sometimes just soft bowel movements. It is nothing for me to go 5-6 times a day. I cannot remember when I have had a solid bowel movement. I do not have any pain and I have not lost any weight (if anything I am about 50 lbs. overweight.) I am also a diabetic. I have been taking Budesonide and Balsalazide since August. I see no change in my condition. I have no idea what to eat because one day after eating an apple I wonn't have as many bowel movements and then another day I will eat an apple and it is back to the explosive bowel movements. I am very confused.
Comment from: Sooty, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: October 20
I've had Crohn's for 14 years and as far as diet goes, I listen to my gastroenterologist who told me to eat what I want. That includes chocolate, fried foods, coffee, high fibre foods, low fibre foods, beer and anything else that makes me happy. I haven't had a flare up for 10 years and I believe my happy diet has contributed to this. Hope this helps and good luck
Comment from: email@example.com, 75 or over Female (Patient) Published: June 09
I was diagnosed with Crohn's almost 2 years ago. But, I think I have had this disease for at least 10 years prior. The diarrhea is what I just couldn't deal with. Since my Dr. put me on medication, I can deal with it better. There are a lot of foods that I just can't eat as they give me terrible diarrhea. Some of these foods are: nuts, peanut butter, chocolate, whole wheat bread, corn, fried foods, ice cream, spicy foods, processed cheese, etc. I drink soy milk and I avoid coffee, I cannot eat oat or wheat cereals. But, rice cereal is OK. Whenever I have to leave my house for a few hours, I always take anti-diarrheals before I leave. I am glad that I don't have to go to work anymore. The main reason is because I never know when I will have to race to the bathroom.
Comment from: Barbi, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: April 05
I'm 45 and have had Crohn's for decades, but only recently was diagnosed. Over this past year I have been keeping a food diary. I noticed, I feel better when I eat burgers and fries, fish sticks, chili and stuff you wouldn't think would help it. Then when I start adding fruits and veggies, grilled meats without fat, milk products and my Crohn's flairs back up again. It gets so bad, I can't even leave home for days. It's the worst pain in the world. I think it really depends on the person as far as what foods you can tolerate. Find out by tracking everything you eat and how you feel for a few months. You will figure out what works best for you. Good luck.
