Most people are sympathetic, and then taken to the so-called children's home after she rang the bell, bell like a high-voltage, it is unconscious. wake up the next day was strip light in an empty house, nothing around, and she even saw the prisoners no longer Sha Yangzi. So now people are used to commit crimes compassion ah, if the experience like this, and Do not bring He went to bring him to the police station took to the well, wandered into the police station some children go wrong, please let all the women around them, for the general safety of women, after reading the trouble to forward it to everyone. 9. Fwd: attention to it! ATM withdrawals to be sure to take extra care! ! ! ! ! Last night in the Golden mile ICBC ATM withdrawals, the back to the old woman, asked if I could withdraw money, cash machines have also said that what may be bad key, I do not know when next to a little girl, always wanted me among the top, I did not care, child naughty Well, but that she should hand over the money I put towards the preparation for my money, I feel wrong, and immediately pushed her to the side, waiting for money taken out. Then I thought for a moment, they both set up a set for me: the old women are in charge and I Xialiao to attract my attention, the little girl while I was not looking, stole my money! If I did not prepare for it, maybe the money was taken away, so I went into set up: (I immediately go for a little girl, to recover my money, but who would believe a little girl I grab an adult's money? more alarming is that the old woman standing behind me, I will get light all the money card, because my ATM card still inside; two little girls I do not immediately chase , so get the card catching, then the girl disappears, the money has gone ah (they really "smart", it is shameful!!!) 10. Recently I was told that his friend heard a crying baby on the door, but was already late and she thought it was weird, so she called the police. The police told her: "Whatever you do, open the door." The lady said that it sounded like a baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. Police told her: We have sent people to in any case can not open the door. Police think that Is a serial killer, using a baby cry recorder, inducing women to think that someone dropped off a baby, they go look. Although not yet verified it, but police have received many calls by women saying that they're home alone at night, he heard a baby crying outside, please pass this on and DO NOT hear the baby cry voice and open the door. 11. Two days ago, playing at night, from Lo Wu to Futian had spent more than 20 blocks of it, I gave the driver a 100's, He Tao Mo for a long time, that there is no change, should I scrounged change for him. I have big doubts ask "how one day you did not find 100 are open." But I still got enough change for him, he took 100 back to me. Home was found to be counterfeit, even the black guy that secretly changed. 12. A person that had no money to go home, and asked me for a dollar, I said nothing gave him, then told him where to go by car, take the first of several road. See him after a bit wrong, do not go to the station waiting for the bus, but also move forward, he and I just give a lift, then He also saw other people for money, some people walked away Before he finished, I This know deceived. I am too good or am I stupid, oh ...... 13. When you withdraw money from the bank out of, or to save post office, then there will be two next to collude with a good man, a bundle of money to pretend to throw on the ground, and go back in front of you intentionally cheat money pick it up, then you aside, and picked up a pile of money into your body. The liar in front of Diuqian returned, and asked whether the crooks behind picked up the money, and to search the back of the swindler. Later said there was no liar, then you aside and said the money picked up equally, and now the money in you, I am now going to search him, I'm afraid you're behind me to search away, so you take your body part of the money bet on me. If you really part of your own money to charge for them, they could not find people. You open that pick up the pile of money, will find that the surface is 1 yuan, which are blank. Case 1: A women's handbag was stolen, there are mobile phones, bank cards, wallet and so on. 20 minutes later, she opened the husband's phone, told his stolen things. Her husband exclaimed: "ah, I just received your message, and asked our family bank card password, I immediately went back to it!" They rushed to the bank and was told all the money which have been withdrawn. Thieves use a stolen phone by sending text messages to "My dear husband" and to obtain a password, and then in just 20 minutes away money up. Reminder: Do not expose your mobile phone address book and contacts in the relationship, Jiyong "appliances", "husband", "parents" such names. All by name, the fewer words the more secure. Case 2: Zijia You have three friends accidentally Lianren Dai car fell 150 meters deep in the valley, after three nights trapped on the 4th, was rescued. Meanwhile, they tried many times to phone out for help. Helpless one was hurt, and a no electricity, and a signal is not received. They also moved many times to find a better location to send and receive signals, but none succeeded. If these three ordinary people who know 112 lines, emergency times, to know how to use it only charge the phone signal is allocated to 112 lines, I believe that they can be quickly rescued. Reminder: 112 common line throughout the country, if not after the phone is open to receive signals, even very little power, any brand of mobile phone anywhere Jieke dial. After the allocation of 112, will enter the voice immediately as follows: This is the mobile phone 112 emergency rescue line, if you want to report, please dial 0, we will transfer your call the police; If you need assistance, please call 9 We will transfer you fire. Chinese had finished, will be in English to repeat. At this point just dial 0 or 9, some people will answer. To the circumstances in three persons, or mountain lost or encounter other difficulties, they should dial 9 to get timely relief. Case 3: One student likes to eat instant cup noodles, and later, the students went to the hospital because of illness, doctors found that his stomach with a layer of wax! Original, cup noodle containers includes an edible wax! You next time to eat cup noodles Feel Beibi not feel slippery, that it wants to. The food cup long face, will cause our liver can not break down that food wax. Finally, the students had to seek surgery to remove the layer of wax, tragic death. Remind Those days, when the side out as far as possible, another bubble with a bowl to eat, do not use the bowl of noodles, cup noodles, a container attached to the direct consumption of red water. Even a business trip, but also bring a big mug of instant noodles to use. To their bodies, not to get lazy ah! Case 4: A very terrible thing: One day, a 21-year-old boy to go to a barbecue wearing contact lenses wild party! As he began to charcoal fire after a few minutes, he suddenly cried, and then very painful jumping around, rolling on the ground ... ... the audience who are petrified, and no one knows exactly what happened? We rushed him to the hospital, the doctor checked regret to say, his eyes blind! Reminder: Participate in outdoor barbecue or anything that might come into contact with the fire source, please do not wear contact lenses! Because contact lenses are made of plastic, the temperature of hot melt contact lenses in our eyes! Case 5: Susie fell, Shirley saw Suzie falls immediately asked Susie, "three questions." She saw Susie can not answer these three questions, on the phone and immediately called 120 for help. Although blood pressure was normal Susie, it seems like there is no stroke. However, since Shirley has "three questions" cognitive knowledge, adhere to the Suzie to the hospital where he recovered quickly to Susie without sequela. Reminder: Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify, often because the person next to stroke patients without timely discovery, delayed treatment of patients with brain damage Er Shi. The three patients we ask the question is: asked patients show a smile; asked patients both hands lifted up; asked patients to say a simple thing. If the patient can not do these three people around you should immediately called 120 ambulance calls, and told the ambulance attendant staff this is a symptom of stroke. If we can transfer and apply such a broad inquiry method, testing, stroke symptoms, the diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients quickly as possible to avoid brain damage patients. Case 6: Quoted: My parents are retired at home. Yesterday morning, to a strange middle-aged man, said he did not open motorcycle oil, and gas stations too far, too much motorcycle they could not move, so would like to ask my parents to buy a Coke bottle of petrol, Gang Kaikou say it is impossible to buy an empty bottle out of 2,3 per Okay. My mother took a one empty bottle to him, not to mention his pocket money really, but a few hundred dollar bills, but also let my parents give change. My mother was a sudden and devastating awareness that alternative, but is just a empty bottle. He bent down and buy a 100 dollar broken open, but still goes on hundred dollar bills. Fortunately, my mother has not yet Longzhong, nor is it the sort of penny people. Case 7: a newly married couple to honeymoon in Paris. In Paris, the wife of a trendy clothing store to try the dress, as her husband waited outside in the dressing room. But wait for Shique not see his wife coming out of the shop to help her husband strained to see inside, they discover a fitting room empty. Husband wife jokes that make fun of people, to his tense. Then back to the hotel waiting for her to come back. A few hours later but could not see his wife's whereabouts, I discovered that the situation was serious. Husband rushed the police, and all the clothing stores and hospitals in Paris asked the whereabouts of his wife. Three weeks later, his wife disappeared as if from no reply, sad only pack up and move back home husband. Unable to take heart from despair, the husband motivation to work, has been living alone, decided to exile himself, went to the place. A few years later, he impulse to Bali, in an old house to visit a deformity show (freak show). He saw a dirty, rusty metal cage, there is a woman, no limbs, torso, including the face, like a rag-like dilapidated, full of scars. She twisted on the ground, and issued XXXXX sound like a wild beast. Suddenly, a man screamed in horror. Since he is no kind of woman who saw his face, his familiar, is he married his wife on the missing face of the red birthmark. The other version is in Shanghai. A few years ago a woman notified police of her cousin in Shanghai when missing after shopping, but turned and lost, until five years after the cousin of a friend and saw that the street beggars in Bangkok, Thailand. XXXXX is that she somehow did the hands and feet, body was tied to a lamppost next to the chains. Case 8 ?Thing is my colleagues bulk mail notification. Her friend, referred to as small A bar last week and two girls, referred to as small B and small C, visit this Luohu Commercial City. Lo Wu Commercial City is Shenzhen counterfeit goods distribution center, Trail of the dragon, close to Shenzhen Railway Station and Hong Kong Lo Wu Control Point, a very large flow of people. C in small urgent words, go to the bathroom, a small A and small B in the bathroom outside. Such a long, long time, or not see out of a small C, the two were a bit strange was. So two people urged her to go. Who knows went in and saw no shadows. Two people stood on an air-conditioning, cell phones have no answer. A large living, but does not see people die so live not see the missing corpse? So hurry alarm. Police came and asked what the situation through, it said the chilling words of a wonderful, "Have you seen other suspicious people go?", Two people repeatedly recall, no. As it is impossible with a living person out of 100 kilos, while they do not pay attention. A sudden small this time to think of it, there have been a cleaner pushing a person dressed clean car inside, then went out again ... ... the police told them that this kind of thing is not the first place, the Shenzhen police initially suspected, a criminal gang , organized management of osteoporosis in the low commercial city, taking advantage of people, especially women, to the cleaners did not prevent the psychological sense, to conduct an organized kidnapping, trafficking in human organs crime. Do not forget, the Lo Wu Commercial City from Hong Kong and Shenzhen train station how to close. Now a few days later, that poor little girl C is still not seen dead live not see people die. My colleague said, small A, which is my colleague's friend, still waiting for news of a small C. But it is possible, perhaps, if lucky, living small C will be thrown into the corner which just lost her kidney, but, more likely, perhaps a few days or months, years, a small C head and body, limbs will be in Shenzhen, the urban-rural LJ heap was found. If you see this side of living in terrorist incidents, please tell friends and relatives around the women, must take precautions cleaners dressed, because he / she is likely to take advantage of you not paying attention to you knocked dizzy, pull into the clean car go, then waiting for you is extremely horrible living, drawn and quartered Please treat this letter seriously! There are so outrageous!!

Unlike then, there are well-defined penal provisions to deal with illegal trade in human organs now
The police may have cracked down on illegal trade in kidneys but investigating officers can learn from what happened in the first such reported racket in the State in 1995.
Despite the huge hype then, the seven cases met didn't even make it to trial as the Karnataka High Court, a full 17 years later in January 2012, discharged all the accused on the ground that there was "no prima case made out against accused persons in respect of any one of the offences alleged."
Poor labourers
The Commercial Street police had then charged that four doctors — physicians, an anaesthetist and a surgeon — of a reputed hospital and a few middlemen had stolen the kidneys of poor labourers from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka on the pretext of treating them. They were charged under nine provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
However, the Court of Sessions itself in October 2005 had discharged them from the charges of causing grievous hurt, administering drug with the intent to cause hurt, robbery, falsification of accounts and for killing evidence, but had framed charges for criminal conspiracy, theft [of kidney], wrongful confinement, and criminal intimidation.
However, the High Court discharged them saying that each patient was paid money and, as tests were conducted on them before the kidney was removed, had held that "it can't be said that the patients were unaware of the nature of operation" to establish that kidney was stolen from their body by administering drugs. Moreover, the High Court also found from the prosecution records that the patients had given their consent letter before surgery, and concluded that even if a trial was conducted it would a waste of time as all the accused could be acquitted in the light of these documents.
But unlike in 1995, the police are now equipped with some well-defined penal provisions under Transplantation of Human Organs Act (THOA) 1994, which prescribes punishment up to seven years, including for indulging in commercial dealings in human organs, apart from the provisions of the Indian Penal Code.
A former State Public Prosecutor pointed out that the Union Government enacted the THOA mid-1994, its provisions could not be employed then as the law was not notified for its implementation in Karnataka in 1995 when the police filed charge sheet.
He, however, said it would be useful for the Ramanagaram police to study the 1995 case before filing the charge sheet in the present case as it would go a long way to help them avoid same errors and plugging possible loopholes.

HK tycoon Richard Li returns to insurance with $2.6b ING deal
Published on Oct 19, 2012 8:28 PM
HONG KONG (REUTERS) - Hong Kong businessman Richard Li, the younger son of Asia's richest man Li Ka Shing, is buying ING's Hong Kong, Macau and Thailand insurance units for US$2.14 billion (S$2.61 billion) in cash, bringing the Dutch financial services company a step closer to paying off its state bailout.
Mr Richard Li's bid, through unlisted Pacific Century Group, marks his return to an industry he exited in 2007 and would help expand his business empire, which is now made up of telecoms, media and funds management.
He is paying 24.3 times estimated 2012 earnings for the three units. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2013, according to a statement from ING.
"What we really want to do is to expand the business regionally," Mr Li, 45, said on Friday.

This article covers:
- A simple but efficient setup where you just pick the right parts and plug it together
- A true Active 12V speaker - an ultra-efficient speaker with integrated 12V or 24V internal amp.
- Choosing efficient speakers and amps
- Choosing a battery
- Weatherproofing and vibration proofing
My friend Deep runs Flashdance, and we used his system as a reference point to compare our work against. Deep has an amazing tricycle setup that lets him bring the party wherever he goes. San Francisco has rather notorious hills though, so our goal was to see if we could cut the weight of his setup without sacrificing any of the sound. A big key to cutting the weight is to see if we can use something much smaller than a car battery - and that means being more efficient about power use.

I've got hold of a couple of Peavey Eurosys 3 speakers . they have
two large jack sockets on the back like the type that take guitar lead
type jack , anyone know how would I wire these to an amp?
Anyone know of a suitable mixer available in the UK - we can't get the Rolls here?
This article was one of the most instructive in which I based myself to make my sound system =)
Where can I switch the mixer or amp to MONO?
Hey all! I must be missing a step... all the recommended amps have speaker-wire outputs, but all the recommended speakers have 1/4 jack inputs! How do i patch those two without losing quality/efficiency?
Good question, Thomas. Wouldn't a "raw wire to 1/4 speaker cable" work?
Cool, didn't know that those existed. In that case, maybe I could just strip an old guitar cable at one end? I have some laying around that I wouldn't mind butchering, and that way I wouldn't have to spend $15 X 2....
Hi there,
I'm pretty inexperienced with audio technology. This instructables is awesome and so inspiring. I'd like to put a powerful PA together to be used with a crowd of 100-300 people on a large square. I think I can do it despite my lack of knowledge with this instructions. I just have a few technical questions to get me started.
For a speaker with 400W (http://www.bax-shop.nl/passieve-fullrange/devine-artis-15-400-watt-passieve-luidspreker/product-details.html#tabbox):
- do I need an amp that is capable of 400W also?
- we care for RMS only, and not for peak power, right?
- does it make sense to have so much watts? (I'd like to have a good sound including a full bass) or does it run the battery dry too quickly?
- do I need a couple or more batteries then?
Thanks for your help.

Did you ever find out a way to increase the sensitivity?
I know nothing about this but I got a chuckle out of the estimated weight of a car battery when he estimated it to be 40-50 lbs. Wow!!! That's one mother of a car battery. A huge 24V truck battery....maybe, but a car....naw. The battery in my car weighs maybe 10 lbs. I have removed it several times and if it weighed 40-50 lbs. I would be on compensation now moaning about my sore back.
You can also get these very cheap at aliexpress
Forgive me if my questions are naive.
Why discard the crossover that is already in the speaker?
The links to your monoXover don't seem to work, can I still get it in either kit or per-assembled form?
Would this do as a replacement for your crossover?
Is "bi-ampable crossover" the same as "pre-amp crossover"?
This is a great instructable!
I wanted to add some info on the batteries: I recently installed new batteries on my RV and I did a lot of research and discovered lithium iron phosphate is a new chemistry that packs more amp hours into a smaller and lighter package that doesn't have the propensity to "blow up" when improperly charged like standard lithium-ion.
Take this battery for instance:
If you look around, there are several other brands out there that might be cheaper, I just picked the first one I saw on Amazon that was around 4-5 Ah.
It's 4.5 amp hours and weighs 1.45 lbs! Less than half the weight of an equally sized SLA battery. Lithium-iron-phsphate can also be discharged much more fully than lead-acid. A lead acid battery suffers permanent loss of life if it's discharged more than 50%. Lithium-iron-phosphate can be discharged down to 20% with no long term affects thousands of times. A gel lead acid battery can only be discharged down to 50% 200-300 times before the battery's life is pretty much gone.
So the 4.5 Ah Lithium-iron phosphate offers 3.5 "usable" Ah while the equivalent SLA rated at 4.5 Ah will only offer 2.25 usable Ah.
If you factor the weight the lithium battery offers about 2.5 usable Ah per pound while an SLA offers about 0.75 usable Ah per pound. If weight is an important factor, the lithium battery offers over 3x the usable power to weight ratio. meaning switching to Lithium-iron=phosphate would make your battery pack 2/3 lighter.
The price of the Lithium based battery is higher up front, but if you factor in that it can be re-charged over a thousand times compared to the 200-300 times of an SLA the long term cost if you actually use the battery very often is actually cheaper.
Just food for thought.
If a regular 24V power adapter is used to power the amp, would you happen to know how to power the 12V mixer from the same power source? Could I use DC/DC converter to convert to 12V from a single-rail 24V power supply while at the same time using it to power a 24V amp? Thanks.
I'm almost finished with my solar powered adaptation of this project. I used 48 reclaimed lithium ion batteries, a battery protection board from allbatteries, the rolls mixer, a a 30w panel and solar charge controller I got on ebay, a DC boost converter to supply a steady 39v to my 2 channel amplifier, and a pair of PR12 speakers. One thing i'm noticeing though is that despite some very impressive music volume, there really isn't much low end punch. This is of course the tradeoff with light, efficient stuff, but I'm searching for a relatively easy solution. One thing I'm considering is salvaging a computer or home theatre subwoofer and adding a second amp to drive it. I may not have time before burning man 2014 but we'll see.
if you need more power pioneers gmd 8056 is a good effecient amp with low power consumption.
instead of using the speaker from a sub, look at the free design of cubo 12 or 15 or tham12 or 15.
a normal hifi or car subwoofer only has an spl at 88-90.
Had you tried to take a look at the Pioneer gmd-8056 class-D amp, it's very popular in the mobile soundsystem community in Denmark.
It's very effecient.
Can be bridge to 300 watt.
It uses about 4A, in a 2.2 setup, with two tops and two subs.:)
The D in Class-D amps does not stand for "digital", it was just the next letter after C.
A tupperware box is a bad choice for anything that generates heat, it absorbs heat, deforms, melts.
The Peavey PR15N is rated at 400w RMS, why are you using such small amps?? If you don't give them enough power they're just going to drain batteries while sounding bad.
I really don't think the author knew what he was doing, which also doesn't seem safe.
Sureelectronics seems to have discontinued making it's TK2050 amplifiers. I'm assuming that the technology could only have gotten better, but i'm not sure where to start looking. Does anyone know what the 2014 equivalent of the sureelectronics improved TK2050 amp would be?
Is this what you're looking for?
I actually found a 2050 based amp that does 80W x 2channels at 39v into an 8ohm woofer. That newer sure amp looks like it would do the trick though.
So of course, I've now gotten the bug on wanting to get louder and cleaner. I'd like to upgrade to the TK2050 with the monoXover and another SLA. My question is: To get full power from the amp with 24V, I'd still need a pre-amp to boost the signal going to the amp, correct? And if so, should it go between the source/MP3 player & x-over, or x-over & amp?
Sure, if I understand your question. You need a solar panel, decent charge controller, and some sun. The panel, battery, and load (the sound system's amp) all connect to the charge controller. It can charge the battery and supply power to the load at the same time.
Thank you so much!

Michael Fain earned his first win of the season as the Pack defeated SJSU 6-4.
Feb. 28, 2014
RENO, Nev. – The University of Nevada (3-6, 1-3 MW) baseball team ended a six-game losing skid knocking off San José State (2-8, 1-3 MW) 6-4 on a rainy night at Peccole Park in its home opener. The win was the first Mountain West victory of the season as the Wolf Pack stand at 1-3 in conference play and 3-6 overall. The Spartans dropped to 2-8 and 1-3 in MW action.
Nevada scored the first four runs of the game and held on for the 6-4 victory. Right fielder Brad Gerig's RBI single in the bottom of the second inning scored catcher Jordan Devencenzi to give the Pack a lead they would not relinquish.
The Pack took advantage of two Spartan errors in the fifth inning to score three unearned runs. Devencenzi had the only RBI of the inning.
SJSU scored an unearned run in the top of the sixth inning but Nevada answered with two in the bottom of the sixth. Center fielder Jay Anderson had an RBI triple and Justin Bridgman's sacrifice bunt plated another run and the Pack led 6-1
In the top of the seventh inning the Spartans got a two-out two-RBI double from left fielder Brett Bautista followed by an RBI single from first baseman Matt Carroll to close the gap to 6-4 but would get no closer.
Pack starter Michael Fain (1-1) earned the win allowing an unearned run on five hits in 5.2 innings on the mound. Adam Whitt (2) earned his second save pitching two shutout innings. Johnny Melero (0-1) was tagged with the loss giving up six runs, three earned in six innings of action.
Devencenzi (2-for-4,R,RBI) had two of the Pack's eight hits in the game and drove in a run. Gerig, Anderson and Bridgman also drove in runs for Nevada.
Carroll (3-for-4,R,RBI) collected three hits for SJSU and drove in one. Jacob Valdez (2-for-3,R) and catcher Kyle Gallegos (2-for-5,R) had two hits apiece. Bautista had a game-high two RBI.
Game two of the series is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Saturday.

A new media-tracking technology uses the cameras built into computers and mobile devices to track uses' eye movements, allowing brands to monitor whether they're actually looking at their ads. The technology could change the debate over ad viewability, says Sticky president Jeff Bander. "Viewability is nice, but viewability just means that an ad is within the viewable area of a screen. It doesn't mean a consumer is actually looking at your ad," Bander says.

A comment on the paradox of career choice and youth
I would like to comment on what I perceive to be a paradoxical moment in life; Career choice.
I am 21 years old, just graduated from business school with a bachelor of commerce (Marketing focus) in Canada. I am now set free in the world to make impossibly large decisions in terms of what to do with my life.
Do I pursue marketing positions where I will do things I am not particularly interested in?
Do I pursue being an artist, which I don't see as a viable job choice?
Do I have a purpose? Do I have to have one?
What makes one happy? Money or doing what one loves? Can a man be happy in poverty? Does one even ought to be happy at work?
Work is work after all. Maybe we are not owed to love what we do. I don't think anyone loves accounting, but somebody has to do it. In this economically volatile world I would be lucky to even get my office job even though I have great marks and some ok experience.
When I was younger I was so much more dreamy. I felt like wealth was my destiny, happiness was a given. But I am older now, graduated, and dreaming doesn't work as well. I am so much better now at art, at responsibility, cooking, networking, dressing. But it just doesn't seem good enough anymore. Whereas before I was such a dreamer that I could lift off straight into the clouds, now I can't find any evidence to believe. I just feel too old for all that, too smart perhaps? I can't feel like I know enough to make my career decisions.
The paradox is, how could such important decisions fall into the hands of people most unequipped to make them? How could people as young as me even make a call? We know nothing, yet we must decide what course to take for the rest of our lives. Hardly seems like a formula for making a good choice.
If only we could live out our lives, and THEN make a decision. That would make more sense I reckon. Only then I will be equipped with what is required to solve these questions. But in reality, by then, I will have already made my choice, be it right or wrong.
Anyways, tomorrow I am going to a Pepsi recruitment session for a marketing position. I think I do wish to get the job. It will give me a bit of a purpose, which maybe be what I seek at the moment. Maybe I am ready to shed the feeling that I am special, that I will be famous, and that I can shake the world. Maybe I understand now how replaceable I am...
How were your decisions made about your careers? How did you feel? Were you confident? Just share some thoughts on the subject.
(I would like to mention that I am not experiencing any sadness or dismay here. Just confusion and a lack of direction. I am not complaining)

You mean a dilemma? I am sort of in the same position as you. Everyone wants to draw well, and many will stop drawing because they don't see a point in drawing in the long run. It is just like any other subject in school, which students might do less well in because they don't see the point of them in the long run. The important question is what is your goal in drawing well, is there a point to it? What is your goal in marketing? Do you like drawing for yourself or for others?
If I were you, being a person also interested in marketing, I would probably take that marketing position, since it might be more stable of a job. For me, my dilemma involves physics and art, and I know I will take a job in research or tutoring of science, as long as it is stable, when given the chance(after I graduate).
My psychology professor once said, "if you aim for the skies, you fall on the clouds, but if you aim for your front porch, you fall on horse shit". He is really old and has connection with inventors. He gave a lot of sound advice, but most importantly these advices make sense to me, and it might not for others. You want to make as great of an impact on human society given your profession. You want to strive to leave a mark, such that the generations that ensue will look up to you as a model. That would be aiming for the "sky". If you don't succeed, at least you would have overcame more challenges and difficulties than if you were to aim for your "front porch", and you would have still achieved more. All of this is to say, you can try to tackle both at the same time.

If you enjoy the art side of things, just do it as a hobby. Maybe if you get good enough and still enjoy it by then you can try to pursue it as a career?
January 18th, 2012 #4
Slothboy, that is the reasonable compromise I am trying to pursue. Right now I have a few portraits that people have commissioned me, but I am also trying hard to find my marketing job.
Vay I agree completely about aiming high, but I just feel like I know too much to be optimistic any more. I feel like I lost that youthful confidence and naivete.
I used to feel like I am number 1 in the absence of all evidence. I kind of miss that stupidity..

Yea but I am tired of enjoying stuff. I am enjoying things all day man, and it makes me a bit angry. I have it too easy. Yea I had student jobs in telemarketing and stuff, but if they stressed me out I just quit...
I guess I am tired of my life being so easy.. I just want to contribute already, I want to stop being a 21 year old lazy piece of shit sponge that consumes his parents resources all day and night.

What the fuck? Youre 21 and youre whining about your parents paying for everything??? Well theres your problem my friend, tell them to cut you off, see if having no food or money for rent doesnt motivate you.. get a job, pay your way, self respect comes as standard.

Buddy, I'm 23 and getting a Marketing degree while also drawing on the side. My plan is basically to have drawing on hand as something that heals my soul after a long and arduous workday of making people hate themselves and their lives so they buy things. Eventually I figure I'll just become good enough to make money off my art, but I'm in no great hurry. Just chill out, life isn't a race. It's not a choice between marketing and drawing, you can do both.
If drawing is important to you, you'll find a way to do it no matter what your day job is. If it isn't, you'll find an excuse not to.

Welcome to almost being an adult. You will have to strike a balance in your life between making money and doing what you want.
Money provides opportunities that being poor doesn't. If you want to be an artist be a successful one not a poor one. Poor artists die early, suffer more trying to make ends meet.
Don't let money control you but don't discount its ability to free you from bad situations, provide you with the means to promote your art professionally, and cover the basics in life.

I'd say stop worrying about what career choice to make -- you're "career" will probably change several times in your life, anyway, so don't feel like you're making a pivotal decision at 21 -- and just focus on getting a job so you can be independent and self-sufficient.

Just pick something and go; the more time you spend worrying about it, the less time you have to live life. If you're not happy later on, then you'll know to change. It will happen, I'm pretty sure.
Please, help me improve by visiting my sketchbook and kicking me in the ass! ^_^

I've met people who were accountants, that then later made their living hand making violins to also becoming a traveling nurse. Life isn't as short as you make one choice and live with it.

Yeah, coming from a decent family and having the luxury to ask these kinds of questions usually ends badly. I guess that's another paradox.
January 23rd, 2012 #14
I absolutely do want it and I did my best at the recruitment session. However the entire thing was in French, as were the interviews. I don't really speak French well at all. But nevertheless, I answered everything, embarrassing and pointless as it was.
Well I feel like to get good at something you need to put decades into it. If you keep switching around, greatness will be hard to achieve, no?
And I have to say, whatever I end up doing, I want greatness.
I am starting to feel like maybe I don't even have any choices in front of me.I am trying my best to find a job, going to career advisor meetings, went to a networking cocktail on Friday where I spoke with company representatives. I got 6 business cards and they took mine. I sent them an email as soon as I got back home. Allthough, its only monday, only one of them answered.
In terms of art, EA Games and Ubisoft didn't answer my applications, and I don't know anyone working there.
So I feel like now, that what I do with my life is to some degree up to other people. Its almost their choice. I am stuck and can't really do anything in either field.
Some friends want portraits done, because they liked the 2 commissions I did recently. So hopefully that will keep my hands full.
But the sense of purpose I crave might not come for a while...

I have learned just a couple of things about maintaining motivation:
Education is and should be continuous, study what you want to study, and then move on to whatever else you want to study that interests you People I've met who stop educating themselves seem to flounder...
Treat your art like your best friend and your grandest romance: Its hard when you are hungry and confused and young to prioritize and know "what to do" but if you treat art like you treat a lover, (make time for it, get it gifts, saturday night dates, little doodles mid day) even when things are bad (when you feel insecure, and alone, and scared) art can be your best friend. Sometimes I sit and draw and cry because I'm frustrated and mad and hurt from myself, so the art is the only one that CAN comfort me.
Don't blame anyone but yourself: Granted, there are things that people do to you that suck; maybe your parents will cut you off; maybe you don't get into the program, job, etc. that you wanted, and you can't control that, but being honest in assessing what you could have done better will get you soooo far and improves your self esteem Once you feel in control of your own life and destiny, you will be so much more productive and you will start respecting your results.
Look Back/Reflect: You may feel unaccomplished now but you have only been legal for 3 years-ish.??Look back at what you were up to when you were 18 and see how much you have grown as a person...in only three years!!! Imagine what the next...let's say 60....are going to be like...you will be such a different person by then! It's ok if you feel like complete shite right now. Enjoy the uncertainty, you won't always have it.
January 23rd, 2012 #16
There's a lot of wisdom here. I can take advice.
Anyway, you just graduated from business school. You have the knowledge and the skills to market. Don't just toss it away. Take advantage of it.
Maybe you should seek a position that won't consume too much of your time, even though the pay will be less, as long as you can support yourself and draw at the same time.
January 23rd, 2012 #17
I might be one of those people who has no problem sponging off of society, I know for sure that the moment the education system hands me a square hat with a tassel and kicks me out the door, I'm headed strait for the dole office, even if I can get on it for a month before I get some better paying work ('cause I'll be fucked if I'm working for less money than I can get fo' free), I'll be happy. Its not because I wanna 'get my taxes back', its because I'd be an idiot not to take advantage of my government if the opportunity arises to do so legally.
Oh, and for me, my ultimate goal is just to have my work (be it art or writing) to be appreciated by an audience of like-minded people. (BTW, this isn't me saying I would never "sell out" on an audience, cause I might, if the conditions are right).
My work is not about my feelings, nor is it about 'challenging contemporary visions of the current plutocratic society', I draw/write what I like, and what I hope other people like, and if I can make a few quid off the back of that, then great!
My 2 cents.

I have hesitated to just open up in this thread, but without mincing words you could think of me as the 30-something adolescent who tried to blaze his own trail and failed miserably.
See, the way it happened for me is that when I was a younger man I locked horns with a highly educated, psychologically formidable older relative. He was well intentioned but very caustic and verbally abusive about wanting me to become a graphic artist. He kept telling me that I would never make it with creative art and that I should just give it up. He kept saying that people with a fraction of my talent were making big money in graphic design and that I would enjoy it.
Because I was irrationally proud, I decided that going to school under his terms would be compromising myself in a way that I refused to abide by. So I basically just smoked weed for years and dreamed about the awesome graphic novel that I would put together someday.
Eventually, after some nervous breakdowns and some bad car accidents I did start a comic, but I only did 20 pages, and it was a totally different story than what I had wanted to do. I hit my head really hard in one of the accidents and I had to relearn how to do a lot of normal things so my mind was a lot different by then.
Life isn't painful because there are no miracles. It's painful because occasionally miracles do happen; just not all the time. You see someone live the dream, and you want it too. But the point is- the miracle isn't guaranteed. Giving up solid employment and a good education to do art is almost suicidal; unless you can really kick your ass every day to work harder than anybody in a cubicle.
I didn't have that kind of motivation. Anyway I'm going back to technical school now, so I'm happy about that. But the point is, I should have just gone to school in the first place and gotten an easy graphic design job. It probably would have led to the miracle of me learning new techniques and socializing with the right people to make that graphic novel.
That's the secret!

A peer just added me on LinkedIn. We used to work together at telemarketing as part of my very first job when I was 15-16. I re-met him at a case competition cocktail this Friday. He was part of the undergraduate team. I was part of the spectators.
So he adds me, I open his profile and it is really, really hurtful to me. He is VP of the financial association at my university, he is VP of the stock simulations, he has a full scholarship, he has a GPA of over 3.75 over the entire course of his school (I had 3.6 for the past 1.5 years, that is all A-'s, so he must Have all A's), received the golden key award (top 15% of students), and got invited to be a member of the The International Honour Society Beta Gamma Sigma which recognizes great business students internationally.
I didn't even go to school compared to him...
Why does it hurt so much to be pushed off my dumb pedestal I made for myself, where I figured me an intelligent human being just because I got a few A's here and there and never even participated in any student politics or extra stuff? It shouldn't be so awful to realize you are just normal. Unless I am a psychopath or something, because I find it painful to imagine not being great..
An underachieving psychopath. What a bad combination..

Pavel don't waste your time on envy; it'll corrode your soul. Stop worrying about how you're doing in comparison to other people. You're not living their lives, and they're not living yours. The confusing bit about finishing school is finding that life doesn't live up to your expectations. Very few people glide through life without meeting an obstacle. You're only starting your path towards making an independent life.
Don't expect to be best in your group; just be the best you can be, whatever you choose to do. "Best in the World" is subjective. Do you really think Shakespeare is the best writer ever? So much of "ever" hasn't happened yet...
January 23rd, 2012 #23
Your friend seems pretty normal though accomplished.
If you already paid tuition and took out loans to get to business school, don't throw it away. You can use that to get a stable job and become independent (isn't that what you want?)
Then, when you are independent and stable, then it would be safer to pursue art.

Common Sense
Several things can be learned about common sense from Dr. Johnson's attempt to refute George Berkeley by kicking the stone. Its philosophical incompetence is not one of them. Dr. Johnson of course misunderstood Berkeley, and his misunderstanding was not a collapse of common sense. He thought that if stones had, as Berkeley said, no "material substance" and were collections of "ideas," a boot ought to go through them without resistance. And if Berkeley had been maintaining that solid objects were only apparently solid and were really collections of what we would ordinarily call ideas, the refutation would have been an appropriate reaction of common sense.
The Notion of Common Sense
Berkeley's notebooks contain the reminder to himself: "To be eternally banishing Metaphisics &c & recalling Men to Common Sense" (Philosophical Commentaries, No. 751). Confident that he could always secure the neutrality of common sense when...

Tony Romo is known not just as perhaps the best golfer in the NFL, but maybe all other professional American sports. Beyond playing a decent schedule of tournaments over the NFL offseason, Romo regularly participates in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and has tried to qualify for the U.S. Open several times, as well. Romo hasn't qualified for a PGA Tour event before, but it probably wouldn't surprise many if he made a field someday. Well, that someday may come later rather than sooner, as it appears Romo is putting golf on the backburner. After signing a six-year, $108 million contract this offseason, suffice it to say that the 33-year-old quarterback has a little more pressure to perform this season. Additional pressure is certainly coming down from his owner, as Jerry Jones recently said he expects Romo to spend "Peyton Manning-type time on the job." Something's got to give, and for Romo that appears to be golf. According to an ESPN report, Romo has passed on the Azalea Invitational, a highly regarded amateur tournament, and will not try to qualify for the HP Byron Nelson Championship or this year's U.S. Open, which will be held in June at Merion Golf Club

text: The abrupt failure of the engine of the 12601 Chennai-Mangalore while it was passing through a level crossing near here on Wednesday disrupted rail and vehicular traffic for a while. The incident occurred around 11.30 a.m. as the superfast mail got stranded midway while passing through a level-crossing at Kushal Nagar, south of Kanhangad railway station forcing the vehicles on either sides to stop for nearly 90 minutes. The train proceeded towards Mangalore after an engine reached here from nearby Nileshwar station, sources here said. Due to the snag, the 22610 Coimbatore-Mangalore intercity super fast express also got delayed for some time.

Following the whispers of her closeness with her Bang Bang co-star Hrithik Roshan, a close friend of Katrina Kaif called us to clarify that the actress was more committed than ever to her long-term beau Ranbir Kapoor and Hrithik is just a co-star and nothing more than that.
The friend said, "She is in a very happy space as far as Ranbir is concerned. They are way past all the hiccups and she is in a secure place in her relationship. She is deeply committed to the relationship and for the first time in her career, her relationship is her priority. It comes even before work."
The friend continues, "She has confessed to her friends that he means everything to her. She has never been this open about her relationship. Whenever she gets a break from shooting, she runs off to spend time with Ranbir. Even if it means flying off to Sri Lanka on the sets of his film Bombay Velvet. When Ranbir is in the city, she spends all her time at his Pali Hill bungalow, or they hang at her apartment in Bandra."
Kat BFF adds, "They have sorted out their differences. After their last break-up, earlier this year, they've both realised that they can't be happy without each other. They'd given each other space to figure out where their relationship was heading and the time apart made them realise that they are better off together than apart. Kat's devotion towards Ranbir is for all to see. She has also stepped back a bit from her work as Ranbir comes first. She didn't think twice before blowing off the offer to walk the coveted Cannes red carpet to shoot with him instead."
Katrina and Ranbir are currently house-hunting for a place of her own. If that doesn't tell you this couple is ready to nest, what will?

I just spent the winter on a bulkiing diet with a heavy lifting exercise cycle. My weight is currently (or was as of 1/3/11) 205, up from 187-190 at the end of the playing season.
The lifting cycle will continue through the end of this month. At that point, I will transition into a more cardio/plyo focused exercise plan from Feb-Apr to prepare for the start of the USTA season.
My diet is already transitioning back to a slow cut. I am currently at a 200 calorie deficit which will increase to a 500 calorie deficit by the end of the month, and I hope to lose about 5lbs a month at a 500 calorie deficit through April back to the 185-190 range (although hopefully with more muscle this summer).
I don't think the zig-zag diet really helps as much as just making sure your average daily intake over the month is at your target regardless of when you get it. The complicated zig-zag diet is effective for bodybuilders who need to lose that last tricky bit of bf from 7%-5% for shows. For the rest of us, I think a regular deficit diet will get you where you want to go as well as the zig-zag diet. Unless, of course, zig-zagging helps you stay on target overall. If that is the case, then go for it.

About the Owner
I've lived in New Orleans for a total of nine years. I'm originally from Georgia, but once I came down to the Big Easy I never looked back! There's just something about this city that when it gets in your blood, you never want to be anywhere else. I'm a father of two lively boys, a loving husband and a civil engineer.

Beautiful and spacious! Great location!
Great hospitality, location, and accommodations
Great for a family with young children
Great Times In NOLA
Modern, bright, immaculate
Fantastic girls weekend!
The location of the home is also excellent - a short walk to Magazine St. for excellent shopping and restaurants. We had a rental car and easily drove to the French Quarter several times, and also explored the magnificent homes in the Garden District. Having parking at the home was great, and the gate made us feel extra secure.
Mat was fantastic to deal with - very responsive and accommodating to our requests and questions. He provided an informative welcome packet with several recommendations and lots of information about local attractions. And although we did explore all that New Orleans had to offer, much of what made our trip so wonderful was relaxing in this beautiful home gossiping with a cup of coffee or wine as we enjoyed our time together. I highly recommend this property!
From the Owner
""America has only three cities: New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. Everywhere else is Cleveland." - Tennessee Williams I chose the Irish Channel because its the quirkiest, liveliest, and most character-soaked neighborhood in New Orleans! It's located just a couple of blocks from the heart of bustling Magazine Street, which boasts the coolest bars, restaurants and boutiques in the city. It's centrally located between the French Quarter and Uptown/Audubon Park, with about a ten minute drive to either one."

For Physicians, The Ethics Of Treating Athletes
Originally published on Wed May 21, 2014 8:21 pm
Several hundred pro-football players say that the National Football League supplied them with painkillers, risky narcotics, to keep them playing, despite injuries. Some say they weren't told of the seriousness of those injuries. Others say they became addicted to the drugs and they have sued.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hasn't yet commented. He told reporters yesterday that the league's lawyers have not yet been able to review the lawsuit. Among the best-known ex-players who are plaintiffs are Jim McMahon and Richard Dent, both former stars for the Chicago Bears.
SIEGEL: Well, joining us to talk about the ethics of treating athletes is Dr. Michael George, a Houston orthopedist who has been a team physician for several colleges, high schools, an arena football team and an AAA minor league baseball team. Dr. George, welcome to the program.
DR. MICHAEL GEORGE: Thank you.
SIEGEL: Tell us first, the ethics of giving a player a painkiller before a game, a player who otherwise might be into much pain to play.
GEORGE: Well, we have to be careful what we are describing as painkillers. So there's narcotic pain medicines and there's anti-inflammatory medications, and then there's more simple medications like Tylenol.
SIEGEL: Well, there's a charge here of narcotics being prescribed. And first, just the concept of prescription. As the team physician, is a doctor more or less obliged to give a painkiller to any player who says I want to get out there?
GEORGE: Well, the doctor has an ethical responsibility to care for the athlete as their patient. So, in general, doctors are never obligated to prescribe medications just because the patient asks for them. The doctor has to evaluate the risks and benefits and then determine what the most appropriate treatment would be.
SIEGEL: Given the history of the litigation over concussions, which precedes this current lawsuit about pain medications, do you suspect that there's been a real problem in the National Football League in treating players in a way that is mindful, first, of their health and only secondarily of their ability to play next Sunday or their value to the team?
GEORGE: Well, I think the knowledge base has increased so much that it's a little bit difficult to say were these athletes being treated at the absolute best way that we know now, were they being treated that way 20 years ago, because they didn't have that sort of knowledge. So the studies that have been done on concussions, especially, over the last five years or so have really changed the way that we think about things. So I think that those athletes were being treated with the best information that medicine had to offer at that time. And now in retrospect, it may not be how we would treat them in this day and age.
SIEGEL: What do you say to the skeptic who's listening and says, look, the doctor's working for the team, everyone knows, you know, injuries in pro football, millions in Vegas move on whether somebody's playing or not playing because of his knee this Sunday. The pressure is obviously to get those guys out there, come what may.
GEORGE: Well, the physicians that are chosen to take care of these professional athletes theoretically are at the top of their profession. Just like if you go to a doctor who has a good reputation and you trust them, they may or may not make the right decision. But you have to trust that these people who are chosen are going to make the most ethical decisions that they can.
SIEGEL: Dr. George, thank you very much for talking with us.
GEORGE: Thank you, I appreciate it.
SIEGEL: Dr. George, who's a Houston orthopedist, is co-author of an article, "Ethics in Sports Medicine," which was published by the American Journal of Sports Medicine. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

LittleBigPlanet Karting
Whats missing in beta that you hope to see in full game?
I like the game but a few things i would love to see would be:
-3d shapes like spheres, cones, ect. to use as shaping tools
-Way to add water anywhere into the level without making the whole level a water level
-A fading tool to help transition from one terrain to the other(ex., fading sand into dirt so it isn't just a line separating the two)
-Be able to rotate objects by specific increments, flip them and 90 degree rotations
-The ability to change the with of the track
That's all i can think of for rite now. What would you guys like to see?
I haven't messed with Create Mode in LBPK yet, but if Modnation is any indication, I want to be able to pave my track a little bit at a time, instead of having to plan out and pave the basic track all at once. D:
Most importantly though, I want to see costume imports, and the ability to make the AI racers in your level wear whatever costumes you want. I like playing dress-up. >_>

Wolverines, Aggies on upset alert
Identifying likely upsets and picking winners for Week 6's biggest games
Every week during the season, Will Harris will conspire with the computers (using TeamRankings' game predictor) and the wiseguys to evaluate the upset possibilities in college football's most compelling games -- and give his picks for who'll come out on top.
Three teams fell out of the Associated Press Top 25 rankings last week -- the South Florida Bulls, Baylor Bears and TCU Horned Frogs -- while five more lost their games but remained ranked. Upset Watch forecast Baylor's tough day in Manhattan, Kan., along with Illinois' struggles, Wisconsin's big win and the Tide's draining of The Swamp.
A 6-2 week moved us to 25-14 against the spread on the season. This week we go back to the well with a pair of purple Wildcats as we preview the week's big games.
Auburn Tigers at Arkansas Razorbacks
Arkansas is favored by 10 points
TeamRankings win odds for Auburn: 36 percent
Auburn's win in Columbia, S.C., was a reminder that there's a floor on how far the Tigers can fall after losing 16 starters, including the team's showcase stars, but don't let it deceive you into thinking that this is not a rebuilding year. Gus Malzahn's effective use of his skill players will keep Auburn in some games, but the young offensive line won't hold up all season, and the defense is a liability every week. Auburn is game and will be well-prepared again this week, but this is a five-loss team.
The Razorbacks' defense has suffered some injuries and is a poor tackling unit by SEC standards, but it is improving, and the offense can more than pick up the slack in the meantime. Quarterback Tyler Wilson's play has built confidence in the whole unit, and although the Hogs are trying to find an identity in the running game, Wilson and his uber-talented receiving corps will be enough to secure wins against the defenses on the October schedule.
The pick: Arkansas 45, Auburn 28

Removed the draw and glass plates. Unscrewed the existing rail and screwed in the new rail. Unless i had held the side that was broken i couldn't tell apart the new from the old. The new did seem to be a little dirty. After i cleaned it, it was a matter of screwing on and off the exisitng rail. Very simple.

Archbishop tells priests: 'Boring,' long sermons unfair to God, people
... Villegas admits failing to connect with parishioners during homily at times
MANILA, Philippines—Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas has urged Catholic priests to always prepare and think carefully about the content of their homilies, saying delivering "boring" sermons is unjust to God and the churchgoers.
"It is unfair to God. It is unfair to the people. It is also unfair to me because I'm depriving myself of the good encounter with God," Villegas said, admitting that he himself was guilty of it at times.
"The Mass is the highest form of prayer for every Catholic and I, as a priest, should go into the Mass with the utmost preparation," he said.
In an article posted on the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) website, Villegas cited reasons why priests sometimes failed to deliver better quality preaching.
These included, he said, their failure to prepare for the liturgy.
"I [myself] have done that a few times in the past when I rush into the Mass because of the many schedules that preceded it," Villegas, the incoming president of the CBCP, said, adding that praying before the Mass would help priests prepare for the liturgy.
Drawing from his own experience, Villegas attributed his long and winding homilies to his failure to "know my people well."
"In other words, I was speaking about hunger when I did not feel the hunger myself. I was speaking about death, sorrow and loneliness but I have not felt the loneliness, the death and the sorrow that the parishioners are going through," said Villegas.
"We priests can preach to empty stomachs but only if our stomach is as empty as our parishioners. When our life is so different from our parishioners, then we end up giving long and winding homilies. I don't speak about anyone. I speak about myself and I'm guilty," he added.
