Well, I say it's about time to know for 100% certainty, so here you have it! @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ & Version History & @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ [Versi] Version 1.00 - May 28th, 2011 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ I only expect to release this document once, in terms of content as I'm very certain I've uncovered everything right down to the programming aspect of it all. Updates will likely be grammatical and / or spelling fixes, or otherwise information I either discover myself, or I'm informed of and tests prove such information to be positive and accurate. I completed all of this work beforehand, as I'm simply not the type of guy that likes to submit half or partially completed work, thus the only date I really have to provide at this time is the release date to GameFAQs. This initial release took somewhere around 24 hours of work to compose and analyze the game while recording and organizing the information into a decently readable format. @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ & Table Of Contents & @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ [Table] 1) Introduction...................................................[Intro] 2) Version History................................................[Versi] 3) Recipe Locations & Mechanics...................................[Recip] 4) Storage Mechanics..............................................[Stora] 5) Tips & things to look out for or keep track of.................[Tips&] 6) Credits........................................................[Credi] 7) Copyright......................................................[Copyr] @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ & Recipe Locations & Mechanics & @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ [Recip] There are ONLY 35 recipes in the game. I have maxed all affection with all villagers and given every traditionally giftable item to each NPC, including the Gourmet to be 100% sure. To earn the recipe from the specified NPCs, you must give them the specific gift as the first gift you give them for that day, whilst meeting any other requirements which will be listed in the tables below. The format I will be using is simple, first will be the name of the recipe as well as the NPC which gives that recipe, second will be the item you have to give the NPC, third will be which season it absolutely has to be, in order to receive the recipe, and fourth (if applicable) will be the affection requirement for the NPC before handing over the gift for the recipe, all separated by hyphens. Recipe Notebook Page 1 1) Cream of Turnip Stew from the Mayor's Wife - Turnip - Any season 2) Easy Tomato Soup from The Shipper - Tomato - Any season 3) Tomato Rice from Sasha - Tomato - Any season 4) Tomato Soup from Pastor Brown - Tomato - Any season 5) Corn Fritter from Doug - Corn - Any season 6) Corn Pasta from Basil - Corn - Any season he is available. (Spring 15th - Fall 4th) 7) Mashed Potatoe from Ann - Potato - Any season 8) Fried Potatoes & Bacon from the Mayor - Potato - Any season Recipe Notebook Page 2 9) Vegetable Tomato Stew from Lillia - Tomato - Any season 10) Garlic Potato Beef from Harris - Give Potato - Any season 11) Eggplant with Miso Paste from Midwife - Eggplant - Any season 12) Rolled Cabbage from Maria - Cabbage - Any season 13) Stuffed Omelet from Gray - Egg - Any season - Must give it to him when his affection is 51 or higher. 14) Spa-poached Egg from Kent - Egg - Any season 15) Handmade Butter from Rick - Milk - Any season 16) Mushroom Rice from Head Carpenter - Mushroom - Any season Recipe Notebook Page 3 17) Fried Char from Greg - Large Fish - Any season except Winter 18) Grilled Trout Cheese from Carpenter #1 (Saw) - Medium Fish or Large Fish - Any season except Winter 19) Mushroom Stuffed Char from Carpenter #2 (Axe) - Mushroom - Fall only 20) Steamed Clam with Wine from Gotz - Wild Grapes - Any season - Must give it to him when his affection is 48 or higher. 21) Miso Soup with Sprouts from the Potion Shop Owner - Edible Grass - Any season 22) Sesame Dandelion from Saibara - Medicinal Herb or Edible Herb - Any season 23) Mushroom Salsa from Harvest Sprite #1 - Mushroom - Any season - Must give it to the sprite when it has 31 or higher affection. 24) Strawberry Dog from Stu - Strawberry - Any season Recipe Notebook Page 4 25) Walnut Cake from Ellen - Walnut - Any season 26) Pudding from Elli - Give eggs or milk - Any season 27) Herb Rice Cake from Sydney (Old woman) - Edible Grass - Spring only 28) Potato Pancake from May - Potato - Any season 29) Strawberry Jan from Popuri - Strawberry - Any season 30) Strawberry Champagne from Karen - Strawberry - Any season 31) Veryberry Wine from Kai - Veryberry - Any season 32) Spice Tea from Cliff - Egg or Milk - Winter only Recipe Notebook Page 5 33) Hot Spicy Wine from Duke - Wild Grapes - Any season 34) Cinnamon Milk from Jeff - Milk - Any season 35) Pickes Turnips & Cabbage from Barley (Old man) - Turnip - Any season Note: Hacking any further recipes causes the game to crash when you view your collection, therefore they do not exist in this version. There are indeed only 35 recipes. G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G~G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G $ Storage Mechanics $ G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G~G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G [Stora] The general rule of how the storage objects work inside your house is that only tools can go in your toolbox, and everything else that is giftable with the A button (blue box / belongings slots) can only go in one of these two possible storage objects; the fridge; or the cabinet. You gain the fridge when you purchase the Kitchen upgrade from the carpenters and you get the Cabinet in the Tool Shop, but that is not available until Summer 1st... mind you it is useless (besides milk) for storing anything that is required for recipes, and really you should only need to store them to meet a seasonal requirement of gaining that recipe, which there are not many at all. Keep these things in mind. Fridge allowed: -Cake -Pie -Cookie -Turnip -Potato -Cabbage -Tomato -Corn -Eggplant -Strawberry -Egg -Wild Grapes -Veryberry -Tropical Fruit -Walnut -Mushroom -Poison Mushroom -Berry of Fullmoon Plant -Medicinal Herb -Edible Herb -Small Fish -Medium Fish -Large Fish -Dumpling -Cotton Candy -Fried Octopus -Roasted Corn -Candy -Chocolate Cabinet allowed: -Moondrop Plant -Pink-Cat-Mint Plant -Small Milk -Medium Milk -Large Milk -Golden Milk -Wool -High-quality Wool -Iron Ore -Blue Rock -Moonlight Stone -Rare Metal -Pontata Root Sam Van Dam says: "Heh, I remember what the difference is between the fridge and the cabinet. It's whether or not you can eat the item." -Good to know! G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G~G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G $ Tips & things to look out for or keep track of $ G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G~G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G [Tips&] Golden rule: You will only obtain the recipe if it is the first gift of the day to the specific NPC, then the rest (if any) requirements are scanned. Spring crops: Turnip, Potato, Cabbage - These can be stored in the fridge when you buy a kitchen. Summer crops: Corn, Tomato - These can be stored in the fridge when you buy a kitchen. Fall crop: Eggplant - These can be stored in the fridge when you buy a kitchen. Winter crop: Strawberry - These can be stored in the fridge when you buy a kitchen and require a greenhouse to purchase or plant. Note: Strawberries can only be grown inside the greenhouse when you buy it, and that is when they will be available for purchase, but only in Winter, though they can be grown all year. The other three season's crop seeds can only be purchased in their specific season until you purchase the greenhouse, which then all seeds except strawberry seeds will be available in Spring, Summer, and Fall. Winter is a Strawberry only season, regardless of greenhouse presence (it just can't be purchased until you have a greenhouse). Cliff's recipe seems mysterious, but he will fork it up if the conditions above are met. Eggs are cheaper, but make sure he has 51 or higher affection by Winter, otherwise he will leave forever and you will thus miss out on the recipe. Also, if you plan on marrying Ann make absolute sure you get Cliff's recipe before marrying her, otherwise he may leave. (If Cliff's affection is above 149 and you are married to Ann, he will leave forever). Make sure Karen is at 101 affection or higher by Winter, year 2, otherwise she will be gone forever the next time you enter the beach screen and you could miss out on this recipe. You should have given her a strawberry LONG before this, as my biggest tip. Make sure you understand the difference between a Medicinal Herb and an Edible Herb. The above requirements are exact. The only recipes that require "friendship" (easier way of saying high enough affection level) are the recipes from Gray, Gotz, and the Harvest Sprites. The only season specific recipes you should take note of are Cliff (Winter only), Greg (all seasons but Winter, because he disappears), Carpenter #1 (Saw) (all seasons but Winter, because he disappears), Carpenter #2 (Axe) (Fall only), Sydney the old woman on the mountain summit restaurant (Spring only), then Basil (He is only available from Spring 15th to Fall 4th). @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ & Credits & @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ [Credi] Firstly, I don't mean to sound selfish or rude in any way, but I refuse to credit the various online sources I've read on my first casual play through the game, as the information on the recipes were not nearly concise enough for me to even find them on my own in a casual play through! Special thanks to Sam Van Dam for answering plenty of my questions and helping me figure out why certain NPCs weren't spewing out recipes when affection was maxed. Next, I have to thank the makers of the Cheat Engine software, which allowed me to view any and every byte within the game to closely monitor values as they change in real time, right to the millisecond! This program is the magic behind all of my testing and statistical information, everything from pointer scans, to memory region access programming routes. Thank you! Next, I must thank the staff of GameFAQs for looking over the document and considering it for approval. Next, I must thank Victor Interactive Software, the developer team that created this wonderful game for us all to play and enjoy however we see fit without having to worry about things like if the next boss will kill us or anything like that! Finally, I credit myself for the hard work put into the data collection. I'm only satisfied when I do all of this number crunching myself, as it seems in the past when verifying someone else's work I ALWAYS seem to find errors.. and of course for writing this document. <-> <--> <-> <---> <----><--> <--><---> <---> <---> <---> |+| /+/ |X| /XXX\ |X|\X\ \X\ /X/ /XXX\ /XXX\ |XXX\ /XXX| |+| /+/ |X| |X| |X\ |X| \X\ \X\ /X/ |X| |X| |X| |X| |X|\X\ /X/|X| |+|/+/ |X| |X| |X| |X| /X/ \X\/X/ |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| \X\/X/ |X| |++++ |X| |X___X| |X|/X/ \XX/ |X___X| |X___X| |X| \XX/ |X| |+|\+\ |X| |X| \X\ |X|\X\ || |X| |X| |X| \X\ |X| \/ |X| |+| \+\ |X| |X| \X\|X| \X\ || |X| |X| |X| \X\ |X| |X| |+| \+\ |X| |X| \X\X| /X/ || |X| |X| |X| \X\ |X| © |X| <-> <--> <-> <-> <--->/X/ <> <-> <-> <-> <--><-> <-> @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ & Copyright & @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ [Copyr] <>-<>-<> Copyright to Dedrick Suddenly© 2011 (Kirbyarm) All rights reserved. <>-<> Permission to host this guide unedited on your website may be requested, and if permission is not given, you do not have the right to host it.

The ECU South West Campus, two hours south of Perth, is part of both an educational precinct, comprising South West Institute of Training and Manea Senior College, and a health precinct, with the South West Health Campus, St John of God Hospital and South West Area Health Services.
The development of these precincts has been a deliberate strategic move by ECU as part of its campus consolidation program, in which the University moved from five disparate campuses to three centres. ECU South West now has formalised agreements on co-operative research and professional development opportunities with the South West Health Campus and St John of God Hospital, as well as an ongoing and developing relationship in the educational community in Bunbury. At any time, multiple engagement projects and relationships are in operation, involving varied commitment and interaction by the Campus.

Stories I am currently working on:
At the moment, there are two stories that I am focusing the most on, mainly because they exploded with reviews.
Yugi's strange cousin.
New life.
Those are it for the moment. My one other story that's been worrying me Cleopatra, my Danny Phantom one. I haven't had any recent ideas for it, but, eventually, it will be updated! But, for now, it's on hold! Forgive me my dear readers! I only wish writers block wasn't a bitch!!!!
Oh, and one more thing, my updates will be taking longer than usual because schools been getting in the way, and I can no longer access my account through the school's computers, so, all my stories will be updated from my laptop now, which wouldn't be a problem, but, sometimes my Wifi is stupid, and doesn't like to work. So, forgive me for all my late updates!

Stefano's Trattoria: An Authentic Italian Dining Experience
As I've stated before on this blog, good Italian cuisine is a weakness of mine. The pasta, the cheese, the bread — it's all just to good for me to pass up! I recently uncovered another Italian restaurant to add to my list, Stefano's Trattoria, and trust me when I tell you the food is fabulous!
Stefano's is located in Winter Springs, tucked away in the corner of the Promenade at Tuskawilla strip mall. While the restaurant looks deceptively tiny from the outside, it's actually quite large with two separate dining rooms, one of which has a bar. I've already been to the restaurant twice since I first went a few weeks ago, and I found on my second visit that the dinner rush is the reason for the large space. When we stopped by on a recent Friday night, every table was filled with customers. I'm clearly not the only one who likes Stefano's cooking.
The food is absolutely delicious! Both times that I went I had the Melanzane Rolatini Florentine (eggplant stuffed with ricotta cheese and spinach). It was so good! The breaded eggplant was well cooked, the sauce was exceptional — some of the best I've had in a long time — and the spinach and cheeses were a blend of perfection. My mother, whose side of the family originated from Italy, even admitted that the last time she'd tasted Italian food that good was when her old Italian aunt would make it for her when she was child.
The authenticity of the food definitely shows. If you're wondering, the owner Stefano is from Italy, Sicily to be exact, and his knowlege and passion for food is clearly displayed in his cooking. We actually got to chat with him on the afternoon my parents and I had lunch there and he was the sweetest man. He stopped by the dining room to check in on his customers, joking around a bit and chatting with each table before he went back to his work in the kitchen. I found the staff at Stefano's to be just as friendly as the owner and well trained to. The servers always had smiles on their faces and, something I took notice of, they knew the numerous and complicated specials by heart.
This family run restaurant is definitely a slice of Italy you want to sample.
Bon Appétit!

Link exchange is nothing else but it is only placing the other person's web site link on your page at suitable place and other person will also do
similar in favor of you.
I was recommended this webite by myy cousin. I am not sure whether this
post is written by him as no one else know shch detailed
about my difficulty. You are amazing! Thanks!
Look into my blog; buy electronics online- bad credit ok
Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on websites I stumbleupon on a
daily basis. It's always useful to read articles from other writers and
practice something from their websites.
It is not my first time to pay a quick visit this website, i am visiting this website dailly and take good facts from here daily.
It's going to be finish of mine day, except before end I am reading this great piece of writing to improve my
fantastic publish, very informative. I wonder why the other experts of this sector do not notice this.
You must continue your writing. I'm sure, you have a great readers' base
They are seen as a source of information provided by Internet users across the world.
Internet has successfully provided employment to many.
This means that even if the a CRO expert delivers
a meager 20% improvement in conversion rate, you could well
see ROI exceed 300% or more in just the first year.
This is really interesting, You are a very professional
blogger. I've joined your rss feed and stay up for in quest of more of your
magnificent post. Also, I have shared your website in my social networks

OK.... so i'm going to try to explain in as much detail as I can. I really could use some help. My cycle is extremely regular as being every 32-34 days for the past year I get my period and it's usually extremely heavy for 4 days and then light for two. My last period arrived Sept 23 and was normal for me. Since then I have not had a "normal" period. I have taken 5 HPT and all are negative. Around the time I was supposed to get my period my breasts were extremely tender and I also was experiencing fatigue along with mild cramps believing my period was on its way but never showed up. the cramping would come and go but the fatigue and breast tenderness stayed (some days they felt like they were ready to explode). 2 nights ago I woke up to cramps and some bleeding. thought here it comes but it never did. Very light bleeding stopped this AM and was bright bright red in color w/ absolutely no clots and I usually have very heavy flow with a lot of clots. Had sex a night before the bleeding started. Took a HPT again this AM and still Neg. Had one pregnancy before did not test positive until end of my 5th week being pregnant and then lost the pregnancy 2 weeks later. Should I be worried? Could there still be a chance I could be pregnant?

My name is Stef, 30 years old, going to college to be a teacher, dropping in from Belgium. I am a militaria collector in my spare time, especially Vietnam stuff and of course my designs have to do with this Had a nice welcome from Joost and I WILL recommend this site all over the "yea olde" continent ! That's for sure ! I made a quick sketch on Google sketch so I hope I can upload it here to get some opinions...]]> nougabol 2012-02-22T22:58:11-00:00 Re: Hi guys and gals ! http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=44375&th=8342#msg_44375 a screen shot or render will help us get a quick look, especially those of use that don't use sketchup. I'm kind of excited to see your Vietnam stuff. My dad is a Vietnam veteran, and I've wanted to do a design for him for a while, but haven't found the inspiration yet. Well I wanted to do something with the wall, but it's surprisingly hard to get a list of the names.]]> Youknowwho4eva 2012-02-23T13:58:57-00:00 Re: Hi guys and gals ! http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=44377&th=8342#msg_44377 Thank your dad for his service for me, often gets overlooked in the collectors community that behind the gear and uniforms that there are people who wore them and used it... real people who fought for a cause... Especially for us over here in Europe it's difficult to fathom what people went through...especially young people, seems so distant now. Well my projects often involve reproducing certain parts and gear that are almost unobtainable or unaffordable to get original, and I am always looking for new ways to make them...and 3D modelling and printing is a new way I wanted to explore. I will post upsome pics of the stuff I collected and build over the years, ( all weapons are replicas of course...) I am not into insignia, strictly gear, webbing, uniforms and inert ordnance and replicas. We attend several reenactments events each year, or atleast try to...

Uploading your correctly formatted manuscript to Kindle Direct Publishing is simple enough and can be completed in just a few minutes as long as everything has been properly prepared. But before you upload, you need to convert your manuscript to a suitable file format which the Kindle can recognise.
To perform this task, I highly recommend a free program called Mobipocket Creator. This simple, easy to use tool can transform your word .doc file into a Kindle ebook in seconds.
When I first created my ebook for Kinesis I had a little trouble with the table of contents which, although not essential, is a highly recommended inclusion in your book. I found the easiest way to create a table of contents is to make sure all your chapter headings in your Word manuscript are written using one of the 'heading' styles. You can then select 'Insert/Reference/Index and Tables' from the Word toolbar in order to automatically create your TOC.
When this is complete you can import your manuscript into Mobipocket Creator and go to the 'Guide' section. Select 'new guide item' and add the following details to the three fields:
- Title - 'Table of Contents'
- Type - 'toc'
- Filename - 'Book title.html#toc' (replace Book title with the name of the Word .doc filename).
Then click 'update' and your Table of Contents will be generated for use on any Kindle device.
Once you have added your .jpg cover image and any relevant metadata then you're ready to hit the 'build' button and your Kindle novel will be created.
You can see how well it has turned out by downloading another free program called Kindle Previewer. You can make sure it appears how you want it to and make any relevant changes.
From here all that is left to do is upload the file to KDP and decide on the price you wish to charge.
Createspace can be a little bit more work to get right, but as long as you have followed the formatting guidelines on their website exactly then you shouldn't run into too many problems.
First of all you need to choose on the size of your book, paper colour etc, which is all easy enough. But then you get to the meat of your book.
Createspace now requires that you convert your manuscript to PDF format before uploading and this can be done easily (and free) from doc2pdf.net.
You can also access an online cover creator on the Createspace website which allows you to upload .jpg images for both the front and back covers. Again, it is important to ensure that your image is in the correct format and resolution otherwise you will run into problems. All of these can be checked on the Createspace website before you upload.
Once you have successfully uploaded your .pdf interior file and your cover, you will then be required to submit your files for review. From here, Createspace check your documents and make sure that there are no glaring errors which could result in a poor quality paperback. As long as everything is okay, they will then send you an email to say that your proof can now be ordered.
Createspace offer an online digital proofing system to check that your book looks okay. It is very good and can give you a resonable idea of what to expect from the hard copy, but lets be honest, most people want to hold a copy of their book in their own two hands. You can therefore order a hard copy proof from the website (at a charge), which I highly recommend.
And you're finally done! You have now successfully published both a Kindle ebook and a paperback copy.
It has just occurred to me that although I have called this guide 'ebook publishing', I have also been describing my experiences of paperback publishing via Createspace as well. But no matter, it is what it is. All the best and good luck!

My wife also have an iPhone 5' so I used hers for a bit and was unable to produce the interference. So at that point I started to think something must be wrong with my iphone. As a last resort, I deleted the app I had been using, and the interference never came back. So it seems that was the culprit. I guess it must be interfering with the phone's radio some kind of way. So I guess there's no need to send it back for testing now. Thanks.
Wow. an App was causing radio interference? I tried to find your earlier postings, only saw that "ipeng" app named....
but that you also tried the "stock Apple player" which also caused interference.
could you explain what App you ended up deleting (ipeng?) so myself (and others) stay far away from it in the future?
Thanks if so.
to confirm: with that App deleted, there is no interference in the stock Apple player on the iPhone5 now either?

Delta State is a state in Nigeria, which comprises the Urhobos, Isoko, Ukwuani, Itsekiri, Ezon, Enuani-Igbos, and Ika ethnic nationalities. The ethnic groups are grouped into three senatorial districts, namely Delta North, Delta South and Delta Central, for administrative purposes.
Delta is an oil and agricultural producing state of Nigeria, situated in the region known as the Delta state, South-South geo-political zone with a population of 4,098,291 (males: 2,674,306; females: 2,024,085).[3] Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the current Federal Minister of Finance and Coordinating of Economy and former World Bank Managing Director, is from the state. The capital city is Asaba, located at the northern end of the state, with an estimated area of 762 square kilometres (294 sq mi), while Ogwashi-Uku has the biggest land space for any industry, Warri is the economic nerve center of the state and also the most populated located in the southern end of the state. The state has a total land area of 16,842 square kilometres (6,503 sq mi).
The State presently covers a landmass of about 18,050 Km2 of which more than 60% is land. The State lies approximately between Longitude 5°00 and 6°.45' East and Latitude 5°00 and 6°.30' North. It is bounded in the North and West by Edo State, the East by Anambra, Imo, and Rivers States, South-East by Bayelsa State, and on the Southern flank is the Bight of Benin which covers about 160kilometres of the State's coastline. Delta State is generally low-lying without remarkable hills. The State has a wide coastal belt inter-lace with rivulets and streams, which form part of the Niger-Delta.
Delta State was carved out of the former Bendel State on August 27, 1991 . The state was created following agitations for the creation of separate distinct states by the Urhobos and Anioma regions. The then Military President, Gen Ibrahim Babangida (Rtd) created the state using the name "Delta" advanced by Niger Delta region and "Asaba" another name advanced by the people of Anioma for the capital of the proposed "Anioma state." Delta state was once integrated in the Mid Western state from 1963 to 1976 and later Bendel state, from 1976 to 1991. The name "Bendel" (Ben-Del) coined from the old Benin and Delta Provinces of Western Region-Delta to reflect the integration of Benin and Delta provinces.
Delta State is ethnically diverse with peoples and seven (7) major languages are spoken in the state. The State is divided into 2 main groups based on historical relations, culture and language.
The first group comprises the Ukwuani, Enuani-Igbos, and Ika. All these ethnic Nations belong to the Delta North Senatorial district;and for administrative purpose, they are collectively referred to as Anioma people. Most of this group have some historical affiliation with the Igbos of Eastern Nigeria most especially the Enuanis, although some parts of it are more Igbo than others.
The second group comprises Urhobo, Isoko, Itsekiri, and Ezon ethnic groups. These ethnic groups occupy the Central and South Senatorial districts of the state. The Urhobo and Isoko speak very similar languages unlike the Ezon and Itsekiri people but have a loosely related culture as they traded and intermarried for centuries before colonization.
Most inhabitants of the state practice Christianity and very few traditional faiths. Although, the Ukwuanis also have some cultural affiliation with these group most especially in their cosmic outlook.
Emmanuel Uduaghan, a member of the People's Democratic Party, was elected Governor and chief executive of Delta State in April 2007 and removed due to irregularities in the election process on the 9th of November 2010 from a court ruling.[4] Uduaghan was re-elected in April 2011.[5] Rosaline Bozimo was appointed Chief Justice in April 2003.[6] The State has three National Senatorial Districts (South, North and Central). In 2011 and 2013, the elected senators were James Manager, Arthur Okowa Ifeanyi and Emmanuel Aguariavwodo who replaced Pius Ewherido who died last year at National Hospital, Abuja.

- The Nana's Palace built by Chief Nana Olomu of Ebrohim. He was a powerful 19th century indigenous entrepreneur who traded with the British. The relationship eventually turned sour. Later, he surrendered (not without putting up a fight) and was exiled to Ghana. His personal effects are housed in this grand palace.
- The River Ethiope which is reputed to be the deepest inland waterway in Africa (at 176 km). Its source is at the foot of a giant silk-cotton tree at Umuaja in Ukwuani Local Government Area of the state and flows through seven Local Government Areas in the State. It is a place of worship for Olokun traditional religion and also a common site for faithfuls of the Igbe Religious Movement.
- The Araya Bible Site which houses a copy of the Holy Bible. It is believed that the bible descended to this spot miraculously from heaven around August, 1914. The bible dropped on rain-soaked yam and it didn't get wet. The site now attracts thousands of Christians yearly.
- Demas Nwoko Edifice which was built using traditional materials, designs and construction techniques of the Igbo civilization and the Benin Empire by Demas Nwoko, an architect, builder and artist of international repute from Idumuje-Ugboko, in Aniocha North Local Government Area, Delta State.
- The Mungo Park House which is now the site of the National Museum, Asaba. The house was constructed by the Royal Niger Company (RNC) in 1886 and was used as a colonial administrative headquarters, a military house, the colonial administrative divisional headquarters, the RNC Constabulary building, and the seat of the Urban District Council at different times.
- The Niger Bridge which connects Delta State (by extension, western Nigeria) to the Eastern part of Nigeria. It is a beauty to behold. It was completed in 1965 and cost £5 million. It was damaged during the civil war, but later repaired.
- Lander Brothers Anchorage, Asaba which was built in memory of early British explorers. The complex has a museum, a graveyard, and many artworks and writings. It houses a replica of one of the boats that was used by the brothers.

Profitable Energy Planning: Rocky Mountain Institute Reveals Eight Steps to Reliable, Renewable and Least-Cost Energy Systems and Corresponding Case Study
RMI's Energy and Resources Team (ERT) implements advanced resource planning process that helps guide energy investment options that are sustainable and cost-effective.
RMI's Energy and Resource Investment Strategy (ERIS) shows utilities and regulators how energy efficiency and other demand-side solutions can compete with conventional energy supply resources to meet consumer energy demands. This advanced resource planning process helps guide energy investment options that are the most sustainable and cost-effective, and provide a viable alternative to large-scale central electricity generation.
According to
Today, most electric utilities do not adequately consider or value efficiency and other distributed resources in their long-term planning. RMI's Energy Resources Team points out that in light of new policies and regulation facing utilities, the need for right-sized and low-cost, reliable systems is essential.
The goal of the ERIS process is to integrate all supply-side and demand-side energy resources into a coherent, practical plan that meets goals and optimizes reliability, cost, and security of the electrical system. Eight steps, from defining goals and collecting data to integrated strategy, are described in detail at http://ert.rmi.org/eris/index.html.
Specifically utilizing this process, RMI worked with the city of

From the Archives: Miracles and Science, Part 5
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
Faith and Science in France and Spain: An Interview with Antoine Bret
When non-believers in France or in Spain read what young-earth creationists are writing about evolution, geology, or astrophysics, they frequently conclude that the Bible is at best an interesting fairy tale.
The Genesis Rock
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
N.T. Wright and the Resurrection: Reviewing "Surprised by Scripture" (Part 3)
Wright reminds us that robust Christian faith takes evidence on board, but fuses reason with faith, hope and love.
BioLogos Basics Video #5: How Old Is the Earth?
At BioLogos, we believe that a serious and faithful reading of Scripture doesn't call for a recent origin to the earth, and we are persuaded that God has shown us through the natural world he created that his creative work began much earlier.
Still Surprised by Easter
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
God's Extravagant Love in Creation
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Searching for Motivated Belief: Understanding John Polkinghorne, Part 2
To understand more clearly where Polkinghorne lies on the larger landscape of science and religion, let's consider his approach to the Resurrection. Many contemporary thinkers, including some theologians and clergy, believe that "science" has somehow made it impossible to believe in the Resurrection, the deity of Jesus, and even belief in the transcendent God of the Bible.
Hydrology of the Bow River
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Creator of the Stars at Night
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science (4 entries)
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution (5 entries)
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Series: It's an Old World After All (2 entries)
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Decoding ENCODE (8 entries)
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".

Simon Ling, Gravity's Garden, 2003 (oil on canvas)
I saw this picture in the April issue of Frieze. The artist draws out a cartoon of the final painting in fluorescent orange, and traces of this colour show through in the final image, adding a vital luminescence.
Walking in the Spring sunshine today, I was listening to this song on my headphones. I honed in on the low harmony in the chorus, which I'm not sure I've ever done before, and it felt revelatory. It also made me feel lucky to have seen and heard Elizabeth Fraser sing live in Bath a couple of years ago. The memory is slight now, but this music revives that time and place.
The 2014 household calender in my kitchen had twelve vintage book covers as its subject matter, including this first edition of The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter. It's a brilliant novel, but this sleeve makes me think of the opening credits of an unmade Hollywood movie adaptation, potentially starring sad-eyed Robert Mitchum.
Fairfield Porter, Wheat, 1960
I heard about Fairfield Porter when I went to Middlesbrough to attend a talk by Alex Katz. He has an evocative name and he's an evocative painter; simple blocks of colour that locate a serenity within their subject.
Paul Smith & Peter Brewis – L.A. Street Cleaner from memphis industries on Vimeo.
Peter Brewis and I needed a video to represent a song from our new album, Frozen By Sight, so we asked our friends Mat Fleming and Chris Bate to choose a song and interpret it in their own way. We couldn't be more pleased with their watery film for Los Angeles Street Cleaner, which reminds me of Len Lye's experimental filmmaking.
I'm in a Go-Betweens phase. I wouldn't say I've ever been out of a Go-Betweens phase since falling for them, but I'm especially keen at the moment. I was searching for good images so I could make my own G-Bs t-shirt and was looking for suitable single sleeves. They've had a chequered history in terms of record covers, but this is a fine one from 1984 (for an even finer song).
Come and see us play our songs, if you can. Nine people on stage each night, conjuring up the album Peter and I have made.

A moment of purest tranquility, as heard on late-night Radio 3′s Late Junction.
Jessie Ware's Devotion is one of my favourite releases of recent times, reminding me of classic '80s electro and soul, but always sounding fresh in the process. Her latest song, Tough Love, takes her sound somewhere else, with all of her voice's sultry longing intact.
I'm listening to this magical, medieval melody thanks to my friend Mara Carlyle's show on BBC Radio 3′s Late Junction. It'll bring an air of tranquility to any occasion.

I went to the Raven Row gallery in London to see Play What's Not There, an exhibition curated by Michael Bracewell. The eclectic mixture of different mediums is balanced out by a refined, overriding sensibility that links the works together.
I'm lost in the melancholy undertow of this band's sound. I'm transported to a solitary teenage time when I'd listen to The Sundays' first two albums on an almost daily basis…
A hazy vision of English streets and playground chin-ups matching a sweet, unhurried love song, sung by a man making an England football shirt look cool.
Next Tuesday, September 24th, at The Tyneside Cinema in Newcastle, I'm introducing Radio On, which is one of my favourite British films (it has a classic late '70s soundtrack, too…). It starts at 6pm so please come along to see it on the big screen if you can.
This video is one of the most striking I've seen recently. It complements the airless, clean music (which, sonically, reminds me of James Ferraro's recent albums) and evokes an unsettling, surreal environment, with one foot in the past and one in the future.
Seamus Heaney, Peter Edwards, 1987-88
I saw this painting the first time I went to London and I still marvel at it each time I see it in the National Portrait Gallery. He was one of the first poets I read in my local library.
There is something fascinating about an artist's unformed ideas contained in their sketchbook: a mood that hints at something bigger; an insight into the mechanics of creation; a raw, barely-contained enthusiasm; a collection of influences. Derek Jarman's films have already been mentioned here, but his beautifully-presented sketchbooks are now available in a Thames & Hudson book for pre-order on the Guardian website, a destination to which I am unable to link, thanks to blog gremlins (Bloglins!?).
A tweet by the poet Lavinia Greenlaw alerted me to the Vintage book cover illustrations of Edward Gorey, as posted on the excellent Brain Pickings site. My blog doesn't want to create a link at the moment, but you can find them here… http://www.brainpickings.org
Peter Kennard, Miner, 1976
I saw this painted-over photograph at MIMA a few months ago and it made me think of the hollowness and fragility of what lies beneath a hard-working, seemingly tough surface. It had a strange sort of power invested in it by the recent death of Margaret Thatcher and her connection to the closure of so many coal mines.
I love The Pastels and what they represent. Although I'd heard and bought this excellent new single, I hadn't seen the video until today and I found it very celebratory. It made me feel good about being obsessed with music (rather than just obsessive!) and how music is such a communal and sharing thing. It also shows the beauty of Glasgow's buildings in the sun, which makes me think of visiting my brother when he lived there.
I saw this video in an article about some of virtuoso bassist Thundercat's favourite music. I've been listening to Bitches Brew by Miles Davis recently and John McLaughlin's guitar playing links up to that very nicely. Some of Jan Hammer's keyboard runs are a bit too fruity for me (!), but the rest of it is great.
Dick Diver – Calendar Days – Official Video from Mia Mala McDonald on Vimeo.
Claire Adams, who played bass with me on the Margins tour, tipped me off about Dick Diver, a band whose name either makes people laugh or exclaim that it's also the name of the main male character in F. Scott Fitzgerald's amazing Tender Is The Night. Actually, perhaps the latter urge is mine alone.
They remind me of so many great Australasian bands, like The Go-Betweens or The Clean, with their loose sound and random, affecting lyrics that tell stories of distinct lives being lived.
Bridget St John has a soothing voice, not dissimilar to her male contemporary Nick Drake. The songs on this 1974 LP meander along rather nicely, although the opening song, Sparrowpit ,sounds, weirdly, like a rollicking hippie precursor to Eleanor Friedberger:
Stanley Baker in 1960′s gritty Northern noir Hell Is A City, standing on the roof of one of my favourite buildings in Manchester, now the Palace hotel.
The cover of the first edition of this book is thrillingly of its time (1960), in a fine art context, but feels quite disconnected from the disillusioned Middle-American tale that unfolds within. Or, perhaps the inner turmoil and endless miasma of the main character, Rabbit Angstrom, are both appropriately reflected in the op-art sleeve. Either way, I've just re-read/finally finished this troubling, masterful book.
I was listening to this record today and as well as being an excellent jazz fusion LP by recently deceased trumpeter, Donald Byrd, it has a brilliant, cosmic sleeve. This whole blog could be dedicated to the sleeves of the Blue Note label, such is its mastery of the medium, but I suspect there are plenty of tributes out there. As Nick Cave sometimes says, "Google it!"
Madame Yevonde, Mrs Edward Mayer as Medusa, 1935
I have this photograph on my fridge! It astonishes me to think that it's from 1935 – the colours are so modern and vivid, creating an unsettling image.
Captivating, world-weary interpretation.
Mesmerising song and mesmerising moves. I think this is what they call chutzpah.
I think I first saw this sleeve hung up in the Salsa Club in Newcastle. I fell for its modern, concrete curves and Larry Young's hip dress sense. The music sounds like this.
This photograph by Bert Hardy shows engrossed browsers in HMV Oxford Street in 1958. I have spent a lot of my spare time doing the same thing, which only enhances this lovely image for me.

Two of the most talented people you'll ever see on the silver screen, Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire.
Marianne Faithfull "Broken English" from Ivan Blatny on Vimeo.
Bleak and mysterious and rough around the edges. Derek Jarman matches up to Marianne Faithfull.
The fashions in this clip may be trapped in aspic but the joy of singing remains fresh and alive. Although this song sits on the borderline of a land called sentimental, Gladys Knight and her high-pitched Pips display a joyous example of control and release that looks effortless but requires such a degree of control that it leaves the technically impressive vocal acrobatics of today's R&B ballad singers looking somewhat forced and emotionally cold.
I recently saw Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master. I was so impressed by the two central performances by Joaquin Phoenix (whose contorted, bemused face you can see above) and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. The film continues to have an afterlife in my mind and today I was watching the Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers musical Follow The Fleet when I heard the following song, also featured in The Master, albeit beautifully sung by Ella Fitzgerald. Both Phoenix and Astaire's characters are sailors pining for lost loves.
I heard this song on an excellent mix by guitarist William Tyler. It has a depth of feeling that resonated with me and it perfectly captures a sense of perceived inertia and perpetual drift that can sometimes strike you down.

Marine Grade Plywood?
For any marine structural hull component, the wise builder will settle for nothing less than Lloyds registered/approved BS 1088 Okoume plywood. It is stable, has met stringent manufacturing standards, and has an excellent strength to weight ratio. Both the wood used, along with the glues, are rot and mildew resistant, water, steam, and boiling water resistant. It curves easily to form a nice hull shape if handled correctly. I replaced a number of stringers and a couple of bulkheads with it on my sloop and was quite pleased with how easy it was to work. My sheets were made in Greece, and carried the Lloyd''s of London certificate of inspection. 3/4" 4'' X 8'' (or the metric equivilant) ran about $220/ea. delivered.

Need to upgrade or build a brand-new PC, but are on a very limited budget? If you don't mind making some small sacrifices, Intel's Wolfdale-based Pentium Dual-Core E5200 is worthy of serious consideration. Despite retailing for only $80, it offers solid performance and some incredible overclocking headroom.
Before discussing results, let's take a minute to briefly discuss what I consider to be a worthwhile overclock. As I've mentioned in past content, I'm not as interested in finding the highest overclock possible as much as I am interested in finding the highest stable overclock. To me, if an overclock crashes the computer after a few minutes of running a stress-test, it has little value except for competition.
How we declare an overclock stable is simple… we stress it as hard as possible for a certain period of time, both with CPU-related tests and also GPU-related, to conclude on what we'll be confident is 100% stability throughout all possible computing scenarios.
For the sake of CPU stress-testing, we use IntelBurnTest, for reasons I've laid out in a recent forum thread. Compared to other popular CPU stress-testers, IBT's tests are far more gruelling, and proof of that is seen by the fact that it manages to heat the CPU up to 20°C hotter than competing applications, like SP2004. Generally, if the CPU survives the first half-hour of this stress, there's a good chance that it's mostly stable, but I strive for a 12 hour stress as long as time permits.
If the CPU stress passes without error, then GPU stress-testing begins, in order to assure a system-wide stable overclock. To test for this, 3DMark Vantage's Extreme test is used, with the increased resolution of 2560×1600, looped nine times. If this passes, some time is dedicated to real-world game testing, to make sure that gaming is just as stable as it would be if the CPU were at stock. If both these CPU and GPU tests pass without issue, we can confidently declare a stable overclock.
When sitting down with a new high-end processor, such as Intel's i7-965 Extreme Edition, there's usually not too much surprise during an overclocking run. It's high-end… and that normally leads to the belief that impressive overclocks are sure to be possible. With a budget chip, though, such as this one, it's hard to know beforehand what to expect. It's an $80 CPU for a reason, after all, so it can't be that overclockable. Or can it?
It might be $80, but the E5200 is still a Wolfdale chip, and based on Intel's 45nm process. Even without overclocking, it's a good performer, as we've seen. But there's one simple factor here that assured me before hand that overclocking was going to be a ton of fun: the 12.5x multiplier. Because this is an 800MHz FSB processor, Intel had no choice but to include a high multiplier, and thanks to that, the ability to hit huge overclocks is definitely possible. It's a lot more difficult to achieve a high overclock if the CPU is limited to a 7 or even 8x multiplier, but 12.5x? Intel is pretty-much asking us to overclock the life out of this thing.
That, I did. Because I had the E7200 installed prior to this one, I still had a 266MHz FSB setting applied, and because the multiplier here was 12.5x, it boot into Windows as 3.32GHz. When I checked CPU-Z out, I was impressed, because the computer felt 100% stable. Because of that, I set out to make that the first goal for a stable overclock. Since voltages were all left alone (1.30v CPU), I went straight to stressing, and not surprisingly, the chip was incredibly stable as you can see below.
3.32GHz Stable Overclock – 1.30v CPU, Default Secondary Voltages (15h CPU Stress)
You read that right. The chip is so stable at stock voltages, that it soared through 15 hours of IntelBurnTest unscathed. Gaming was no different, either, so I'm very confident that this overclock will be possible by anyone, on most any motherboard (as long as it's not ultra-budget).
One thing I found out quick, though, was that the FSB was a huge limiter here. I was naive enough to believe that 333MHz FSB would be fine, but I was wrong. After much tweaking, I found 300MHz FSB to be the max stable for this chip, although it might be able to go higher with a lot more tweaking, but I didn't find that necessary. Even at 300MHz, that gives us a 3.75GHz overclock, and guess what? Stable!
3.75GHz Stable Overclock – 1.40v CPU, 1.55v Northbridge (12h CPU Stress)
To hit that, the CPU voltage had to be increased to 1.40v, which for the most part, is still reasonable. It is beyond Intel's spec, though, so bear that in mind. I'd be confident in leaving that voltage for quite a while though. You'd be itching for an upgrade long before the CPU would die from that kind of voltage. I'm also not positive that the Northbridge had much to do with anything, but that stress-test was run with 1.55v applied, which is well within reason.
You might notice that the memory speeds are a bit lacking, though, at DDR3-800 6-6-6. Believe it or not, the CPU seemed to be the main bottleneck here, not the Northbridge. After another evening of tweaking, I found that an additional .025v on the CPU allowed a much more impressive memory speed of DDR3-1200 7-7-7. That setting also proved 12 hours IntelBurnTest stable, but I foolishly formatted our PCs OS drive before saving the screenshot elsewhere.
It goes without saying though, there is a lot of value slammed into this processor. That's the truth even without overclocking being taken into consideration, but to add 820MHz to the CPU with no added voltage, and 1.25GHz with somewhat modest increases, is rather amazing. Not completely unexpected, but it's nice to see such value for $80.

-=Waffle_King's Sketch-Book=- UPDATED Oct. 27th! - Please help me Improve!
Thank you so much for visiting! I am a relatively new artist and have found art to be my PASSION- but I want to improve to tell my story better through images. Scroll to the end to see my latest stuff-- and please leave C&C if you are willing. Either way, thank you!
Hello folks,
I've been coming here to CA for inspiration, education, and amusement for a while now- mostly just watching quietly... waiting, some would say. Not sure for what though, and in lieu of contuing to wait, I have decided to jump in and open a sketchbook thread, post things that are, literally, the newest additions to my sketchbook...
A little background on me, just to fill you in. I recently graduated from the school of fine art at the University of Southern California... but my true academic goal is *buh BUM* Art Center-- the Mount Olympus of Art here in So-Cal, from which the mighty gods reign on high.
I am just starting to learn digital work- I mean, JUST STARTING, so I will try and post some of those for crits here as well.
I have been drawing "seriously" for about 3 years now, and I have seen so much improvement thanks to many mentors, teachers, and you guys- the CA community at large. Thank you!My goal? Like most here, to learn, improve, and have a good time with y'all while doing it.
Like most artists, I have scads of things to say about every little sketch; what I see wrong with it, what I want to improve, etc... however, I will hold my tongue and leave that to you- my brothers in arms.
Without further ado, please let me post!
ps: I dunno about this "temporary attaching images problem" thing. I guess just click on the little blocks.
This is just in here for the forum title.
plen-air acrylic. Cloudy day. meh.
whoever can tell me what amazing CA artist inspired the costume on this next one gets a cookie!
Thanks fellas. I'm gonna clean up a couple of these and try and paint em for y'all.
C&C welcome, expected, and amiably demanded. Thanks fellas!

Mo Bettah Meaty Meat Sketches
Here are today's.
I know these aren't terribly exciting yet... pretty boring compared to some of the other stuff goin on out there, but for those that did click on the link, I thank you for your time and comments/critiques if you so choose to leave one.
Mostly quickies I snuck in at work- the pastel is from a drawing group I went to earlier tonight. Can you believe a photo from my digital camera looked better than a scan? Sheesh. I didn't quite finish, but it has it's charm.
I'll try and do some more digital stuff. Paint something, make things exciting. You know. Also, I'm not sure if I'm doing this thumbnail thing right- I would assume to just post these on my webspace and then link to them... but I think I read a post that said otherwise. Oh well. If I'm doing something terrible, somebody let me know.
Thanks guys.

It looks to me like you'd have some good stories to tell with them.

October 2nd, 2006 #8
Hey Andrew, glad you followed up on this.
Good improvement overall, watch out though, you tend to make some of your figures rather stiff, be less uptight when you are sketching.
Keep going dude.
October 2nd, 2006 #9Originally Posted by evildisco
Maybe your right. Maybe I just gotta relax and make sure I'm not so anal about my figures. Also, more action! More life! More poses!
Sounds hard.
But like many porn-stars, "Hard" is my middle name. I'll have some of em up soon.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to bring fluidity and life to these poor, stiff, scare-crow figures-- please let me know
PS: Thank you all SO MUCH for suggestions. I means a lot to get some feedback! It's helping!
October 3rd, 2006 #10
No, these aren't fluid, but they're some sketches of to-day.
This fella I did in Photoshop using a method described here in the forums- I think it worked "OK" seeing as I'm not so a-good with the wacom yet. Both of these are about 20 minutes in PS-- as you can tell, no ref.
A slight variation. I like to think of him as an "evil starbuck's barista" if you will.
I dunno. I want to break away from stiff figures, hollow lines... I want SUBSTANCE in there.
I feel like I'm close to something. Gotta keep drawing. More Tomorrow, hopefully.
PS: Thanks again for your comments, all- I know these aren't thrilling. I appreciate your help!

Hey all.
Some quick PS sketches I did last night 'fore bed, but CA was acting up so they had to wait till today. Trying to keep loose- I'm trying things I wouldn't normally do, so hopefully one way or another that'll help.
experimenting with brushes, trying to understand PS painting a little more.
wanted to try something new. nice graphic quality, but flatness is my enemy.
It was late and I was tired. Base level inspiration. the lines are getting looser, though. Lol, I put a golf-club thingy in her hand to justify her as a pin-up.
I'm at the office-- trying to sneak in sketches.

Hey all,
just posting some of the past day's sketches. Trying to think and draw at the same time now- not just scrawl something out for you guys to look at (wow, what a revelation on my part. lol). Just FYI, this is a small sketch-book- almost 6 by 9 I think.
C and C needed!
wonky legs, i know. this guy is from mah head, no ref.
starting to get into it. Studies from THE master, Sargent.

taves, Marty666: Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I will definitely try to place some figures in environments- heaven knows I could use the practice.
evildisco: Yes! OMG! My figures have always suffered from "the stiffness," and no, I don't mean my male models were excited on the stand-- they just looked... I dunno, stiff. This is a big goal of mine- to reach some dynamic fluidity for my figures. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know (ie, artists to look at, ways to think about the figure, rhythm lines, etc.)
Wafflehouseninja: thank yew, waffle house- That's good advice. I'll apply it and post the results.

SO let it be written, SO let it be done!
Hey all,
Sorry about the delay since last post!
I have decided that I will move my art forward by trying to follow three new emphasis'es...emphasii? You know what I mean.
ONE- I will, for all intents and purposes, CHAIN a SKETCHBOOK to my left arm... becuase I use my right arm to draw. I will also draw everything I fancy, either because I want to study it or I just want to draw it dangit! No more censoring myself! Hopefully it's not too much rudeness.
TWO- I will, with FOCUS and CLARITY(lol), study the masters! And not just them old fuddy-duddy's like the Ninja Turtles- but new, hip, and living masters as well. And some others.
THREE- I will, everyday, barring unforeseen circumstances, DO a DIGITAL SKETCH. I paid a ton of money for that damn pad and I am going to RUN IT INTO THE GROUND! IT WILL BEG FOR DEATH BEFORE I AM DONE WITH IT!
I have spoken! So let it be written- So let it be done.
OK, now that I have that out of my system, onward and upward, as the saying goes. Just a few today- a couple analog and a few DSG sketches I've done digitally. They all have their flaws, but- eh, that's how we learn. In order to appease the forum gods and my massive ego, I will both link to these off my web-space and make thumbnails... I like to be thorough.
after Waterhouse. If you don't know who this fool was, look him up- awesome. He was like a concept artist of the 19th century. Or something.
I have to admit I laughed while I was drawing this- mostly cause of the text though.
What do I do during those cost-report meetings? NOW YOU KNOW.
The following are three DSG's- they all have their issues. All in PS CS, between an hour and two.
More soon, specially cause I know you're all holding your breath and all. lol.
PS: here are the thumbs to appease the forum gods:

madhatter106: Thank you. I intend on doing more.
Jens: Thanks for the crit! I totally agree with you- right off the bat there are some anatomy wonkies apparent- I think I was rushing so much to get the darn thing as "finished" as I could in 30 minutes the proportions suffered... which, if something's going to suffer, is the wrong thing. Better keep it loose and quick but in good proportion. FYI, I was going for an above lightsource, but it seems that was wonked too. Oh well- Hopefully there'll be plenty more where he came from.
I was really trying to concentrate on his pose- to not make him as stiff as my regular drawing... and getting the darn thing down. Thanks for your crit, though. Great stuff- It's what I need!
Thanks for visiting fellas!

Just a couple tonight.
Trying to loosen up and get comfortable with moving things, concealing body parts... I don't think this pose is even possible, but... well, here it is.
Daily speed-paint. Not the most imaginative, but there'll be more. 30 minutes, PS CS.
Thanks for visiting, guys! C&C appreciated....

VERY NICE, your sketches feel more complete than anything else, and the colours you use in them is splended, I do the same with my sketches. Great figures, but the paintings are coming out kind of flat, save the otherworldly human (thats just cool). I want to see paintings that better reflect your sketches, keep drawing please I want to see more!

OCTOBER 15th UPDATE!
Hey fellas, kept busy this weekend.
I'll just post my daily speedpaints for now- all of them done in 30 minutes
(minus bathroom time) in PS CS, no ref. Gotta get fast, gotta get better! These are numbers 4,5 and 6 respectively... sort of an exploration of a theme- I call them... "girls with swords." ...lol.
The fluidity is still sucky- I don't know what else to do except keep drawing. I started studying anatomy pretty intensively today- starting off at the muscular "center" of the body- the pelvis. Man- that thing is complex. It's good though, I'm learning all sorts of neat things. Hopefully a better understanding of teh anatomy will show itself in my drawings.
Either way, here they are.
Thanks for your comments guys- I know this isn't very interesting... yet! I'll draw hard for y'all tomorrow!

Oct. 17th update!
A couple of speed-paints from the past couple of days.
I promise, I am still drawing analog-- it's what I do most, actually... but I'll scan it tomorrow. I know these aren't that exciting, but I'm just trying to get comfy with a PS technique and hopefully help my action poses. Also, I get to say I draw a "Girl with a sword" everyday. Now THAT will make you popular with your friends, big time. Seriously.
C&C appreciated!
Both done in PSCS, 30 minutes each.
Thanks fellas.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

I really like these digital paintings as well, especially that dsg about the monster shedding it's leaves (really nicely painted on that one). only thing I can really think to crit on is what ArtZealot mentioned about the necks, everything else is looking good to me. keep it up man! oh and I love the little speech bubbles you put with your drawings lol.

Hey man, thanks for stopping by my book.
I think you shouldn't be worried about being faster, just enjoy the process, think about it, meditate about the pose, if you're doing out of your head then when you feel you're stuck, check some references, don't be afraid to use it, only try to learn about what you're copying so you don't get dependent on the refs. Also doing more studies from life or photo will increase the amount of data that you'll dispose later on for your imaginative work.
Don't restrain yourself just to the figure, try some animals, objects, furniture, clothing, shoes, hands, feet, eyes. Everything counts.
And remember, not just copy or try to be faster, try to understand what you're drawing, the forms, the shadows, even if it takes you 3 days for a drawing, you'll learn a whole lot. The way you see will improve too, so be patient.
Hope i don't bored you with all this rant.
Good luck and keep on working.

I say go back to basics do life drawing to improve. The more you do from life the better you will retain what you see for stuff that u don't use reference for. It's better to know than not know. Keep at it! XD
Question did you go to AIPX at all?
October 27th, 2006 #30
Hey guys,
Sorry about the delay since last update- my home internet has been on the fritz.
ArtZealot: thanks for the kind words and encouragement- I will keep it up. One sketch at a time!
Onir: Thank you so much for the compliments! I will have to keep drawing to give you guys some neat stuff to look at. Thanks for stopping by!
Diego: Some very good advice. Often I find myself in such a rush to get better and wanting to become a poke-master that I forget to stop and learn. What you say is very true- better to take your time and perfect your form in one image thatn rush out a bunch of poor works. Thank you so much!
Beelow: Thank you for the encouragement! As for AIPX, I'm not sure I know what that is- so that might mean no. Why do you ask?
Thanks so much for your time and comments guys- I really appreciate them. On to the show!
Some varied sketches...Just having fun.
Head Studies! From ref-- gotta draw dem heads better- I figure studies are one good route to go. Firemen, mostly.
The cornerstone of the Atelier method- the cast drawing! PS CS- probably a couple hours. Not sure if I'm done yet.
Finally, some of my daily speedpaints. The first face guy was inspired by watching that Bobby Chiu video-- such a great resource, he is. The second fat dude is from ref- some sweet fat african priest. He had this awesome smile... the last critter is from ref, a piece by this artist named Steven Chen. Just wanted to represent and let you all know he's awesome- and that's why I'm studying off him. All of these were in PSCS, first two maybe 45-hour, the dog-creature was maybe an hour and a half.
I'm going to try and get some "finished" pieces done. A little goal of mine to target a historic weakness I seem to have. As such I've entered a couple T-Dome challenges-- I'll post the results here!
Ok! sorry about the long post. Again, any c&c will be mucho appreciated. Thanks so much, guys. I'll post again soon!
