A new release has been uploaded to the unstable release. Here are the changes:
HDR improved
The problem with the black shadows is resolved. But I am still not satisfied with the colors. I miss a little bit the summer feeling. We will improve this in further version.
Wooden framework and stairs added
We added a new wooden framework set. So you can create wooden towers, stairs or even wooden platforms. Here is an example of a perch:
New placement indicator
As we tested the wooden framework we had problems when placing the objects on top of each other. The problem was that when the object is not placeable the engine will display nothing which makes it difficult to current the placement position. This has now been resolved. When it is not possible to place an object the game will nevertheless disable a box:
Ok it's barely visible but this is intention. There should be a clear difference to the case when you can place the object:
Glass renderer
The last bug in the transparence renderer has been found:
In this screenshot you can see 3 transparent layers: The glass in the foreground, the torch and the glass in the background!
Music added
A youtuber had the idea that it would improve the atmosphere of the game when we add music. This has been done now. We are using free music from cdk downloaded from ccmixer.
The music can of course be disabled in the configuration menu.
Feature overview
As youtubers often say that there isn't much to do in this game we added a feature overview when you start the game. The feature list is not complete yet. Here is a screenshot:
Bug fixes
We did a lot of bug fixing. The most annoying bug was in the shadow map generation system. When the player moved it could be that the shadow map was generated with the wrong sun position. This produced flickering. Then we removed the rest of the old game engine. As you may have noticed that it says copyright 1996- . This means that there was also an old quake style engine in this game. We removed parts of this old engine.
Added entities on game start
One youtuber complained that he found it boring when it is dark at night. Ok, since the first commercial release of our game we have the "Bed" in which you can sleep. To make it easier for newbies we added several entities when the game starts. Amoung these are a bed, torches and a chest.
Compressed Data Structures
For the new world matrix we created compressed data structures. But it is still a long way!
Loading of meshes optimized
And as we want to bring the bear in the game we again worked on the model importer. We imported a sheep, the fish and a dangerous insect!
So that's it for today. I hope you enjoy the new version!
Hey this is the new demo. Checkout the new grass rendering system and the improved gui.
Checkout the demo of the new version 0.2.1. I added a lot of stuff compared to the free version!
i though you should know, but i was able to avoid the time limit by going to the player save and changing one of the gametimes variants on the "PLayer" archive :D (i discovered that afther being like 3 months without internet, soo if i missed any upgrade that fixed that thing im sorry :D)
This is really looking awesome. Waiting for the next release!
ahhh the magics of game enginering... you start even seeing trivial things in another way... like the grass...
going to buy this if it ends up on steam for sure, looks good and looks similiar to my own game i'm creating so awesome work there dude! :-D
Now it's your time. It's on steam!
Left some questions on the forum section.
Michael if you get a chance to answer I it would be really great.
I found that you can actually smelt 2 blocks (one on top of the other) with the wood, coal can be used which burns longer too.

Product description
Temples lost in the rainforest. Strange inscriptions and ritual bloodletting. Such are the images popularly associated with the ancient Maya of Central America. But who really were the people of this lost civilization? How and why did their culture achieve regional dominance? Could such pressing contemporary problems as climate change and environmental degradation hold the key to the collapse of Maya civilization? Of interest to scholars and general readers alike, The Ancient Maya brings the controversies that have divided experts on the ancient Maya to a wider audience. Heather McKillop examines the debates concerning Mayan hieroglyphs, the Maya economy, and the conflicting theories behind the enigmatic collapse of the Maya civilization. The most readable and accessible work in the field, this book brings the general reader up to date with the latest archaeological evidence.

One of my all time favorites! Quick to put together and turn the crock pot on and it's all set!
Very good. I cooked it on the stove top and substituted chicken breast for the thighs to lower the points, cooked it whole and shredded it with two forks when it was done. I increased the oregano to 1.5 t. and the cumin to 1 t. and then served it topped with low fat shredded cheese and diced avocado.
enjoyed by everyone in my family
Delicious, flavorful and filling!

Conditions InDepth: Infertility in Women
Infertility in women is a disorder of the reproductive system that prevents the body's ability to ovulate and conceive. Recurrent pregnancy loss is often considered a type of infertility. A heterosexual couple is considered infertile when they have not conceived after a full year of regular sexual intercourse without using contraception. Couple infertility may be due to male factors, female factors, or a combination of both. A successful pregnancy involves many steps. First, a healthy egg must be released from a woman's ovaries and travel to the fallopian tube. There, a man's sperm fertilizes it. If fertilization occurs, the fertilized egg then moves down the fallopian tube to the uterus. The embryo secures itself to the uterine wall. This begins the 38-40 week journey from embryo to fetus to baby. Problems can occur at anytime during this process.

- Menstrual cycle dysfunction—the most common cause of infertility in women due to failure to ovulate
- Problems with ovulation—something affects the development and release of an egg by the ovary
- Fallopian tube blockage—present from birth or may result from surgery, trauma, or infection in the pelvic area
- Endometriosis —results when tissue from the uterine lining is found outside the uterus

I decided to give this concealer a try after hearing all the rave reviews about LM concealer. The SA recommended the secret concealer, however it doesn't really live up to its name.
1. It doesn't have a very thick coverage and can't fully conceal my dark eye circles. 2. The texture seems too oily and thick. after applying it seems to cake and crease, my under eye look very patchy. 3. The concealer doesn't last at all. With or without finishing powder it melts off within 3 hours. The oily texture also causes my mascara to smudge. 4. The packaging is not that user friendly.
I would not buy it again. Too expensive and doesn't live up to its name.

I purchased this 2 or 3 times about 1-2 years ago. my sister recommended it to me. its her HG concealer. so i tried it out. let me just say, i have REALLY bad dark circles. hers arent as bad as mine. also when i get no sleep, i look like i got punched in the eye. lol...
the coverage i would say is okay. nothing amazing. if you have a little darkness under your eyes i think this would help that. i think it only creases really bad if you dont set it with powder. dont go crazy with the powder though. this covers pimples and mark okay as well. i think i paid $23 CAD for it at Sephora. my dark circles by the way are hereditary. would i repurchase this? maybe not. if my HG mac studio concealer suddenly was discontinued or something like that , this would be my next choice. the product in this is very little, for me anyway.

I purchased this lovely concealer recently, but have yet to determine it's lasting effect on me. I must say that when the makeup artist at Sephora applied it to my undereye area, it looked pretty awesome! She applied Nars radiant concealer under one eye and the Laura Mercier under the other eye. We asked 3 or 4 Sephora staff (separately!) which one they preferred, and they all voted for the Laura Mercier one. I had been planning to purchase the famous Nars radiant concealer, but it didn't even come close to the Laura Mercier one (which was flawless and amazigly age-defying and radiant when compared to the Nars brand), although I did prefer the Nars packaging and applicator. I did have to take off a lippie for the packaging--Too bad the Laura Mercier concealer didn't come in a tube instead of a potentially unhygenic pot-type container.

This has pretty good coverage and I was able to find a very good colour match in #2. This stuff is very emollient though and tends to move around a bit. It ended up really irritating my eyes. I also used some on my eyelids to even out my skintone and it irritated my skin there too, making it itchy and dry.

Creases immediately. I purchased this concealer off a recommendation from a Sephora employee. She stated it is the least likely to crease in the store. Before I even got up from my makeup chair...it creased. With or without powder, it creased. Applying with a brush or finger, it creased. Yey.
It does have great coverage. It covered my dark circles amazingly. It stayed moisturized during the day & never had a dry look.

I could not make this work for me, although the color was fine. It makes all my eye makeup dissolve and I end up with raccoon eyes, especially if I use eyeliner or mascara along the lower lash line. It will even make waterproof mascara bleed. I tried solving this problem by adding powder, but this causes it to look terribly caked-on. I'm not sure how other people who like this product are using it. It's not working with my other cosmetics, and I don't have oily skin or live in a humid environment.

I really really really really...(takes a breath) really really really like this concealer for under the eyes.
After using the bobbi brown corrector for years whilst my skin was oily, my skin started getting dry as I got older & started using retin a, I found that it wasn't hydrating enough & for rushed mornings I can't be bothered putting on eye creams in the morning. But this LM concealer is just emollient enough to not crepe under the eyes without eye cream. It gives my eyes a lift & awakeness with the Dewey effect.
Plus its not too peachy like the Bobbi Brown one, again with my laziness I can't be bothered layering a concealer over my under eye corrector. The sc is just enough peachiness to counteract the under eyes darkness alone and blending in with the rest of the face colour without having to cover over the peachiness (if you get what I mean).
Another plus is the packaging, nice and simple, no bulkiness like Benefit erase paste. Its perfect for travel.
I'm nc30 nowadays and use SC in #2 for reference under my eyes. while Bobbi brown corrector was good to me (and still is), I've converted to LM Secret Concealer as a HG.

Asides from the un-natural shades for my neutral skin, this product was greasy, sheer, and disappeared into fine lines. This concealer did not even last 1 hour and no matter what I tried my under eye circles were staring right back at me. Their 'secret' for this concealer must be that it does not have great coverage or last whatsoever. If you are in my situation and can not leave the house with at least putting on concealer this product will not help you ):

I so wanted to love this product, discover my HG under-eye concealer, and live happily ever after. Sadly all that happened after I opened the tiny pot of orange-khaki grease, which looked OK under my eyes for about a split second, was that it seemed to dramatically darken my under-eye shadows, emphasize about a million lines I didn't even know I had, and slid straight off my face and become invisible. As if by magic! So, it's safe to say I'm afraid that the hunt for the HG under-eye concealer continues...

Secret Camouflage is almost an exact duplicate for Tarte's Dark Circle Defense concealer, which is now discontinued. Secret Camouflage is an emollient (moisturizing) concealer that tends to come in pinky-orange shades. The warm shade range allows this concealer to counteract the cool, blue/purple/green shades that make up dark circles fairly effectively. Overall, I feel that this does an o.k. job of concealing, but you might need to reapply after several hours of wear.
Unfortunately, the moisturizing properties of this concealer are also it's achilles heel. The amount of slip this has allows it to simply fade away to nothing on my somewhat oily skin after several hours, even though my undereye area isn't very oily at all! The amount of slip in the concealer will let it migrate everywhere else, no matter how carefully you blend this over your discolored areas and then set it. This also doesn't work well with other concealers, and tends to flake off or even crack when set with powder, which just looks terrible. When you blend on a thin layer, it isn't quite pigmented enough to effectively cover your dark circles. This also tends to collect in any little creases or folds in your skin, and can also collect around your eyelashes. This can be easily blended away though. If you're willing to carry a pot of makeup and reapply on the fly, regardless of contamination risk, this might be a good option.
I do feel that this concealer would be a good option for dry-skinned women in a dry climate with mild dark circles and few wrinkles around the eye area. I think this would have a tendency to melt in humid climates, migrate everywhere on people with oily skin, and crease into wrinkles after a few hours on people with any little creases.

Second shark attack worries surfers
Updated: November 1, 2012, 7:57 PM ETBy Keith Hamm | ESPN Action Sports
With two shark attacks -- one fatal -- on surfers off the coast of California in recent days, the tightening race for the ASP World Title isn't the only thing surfers talked about Thursday morning at Santa Cruz's famed Steamer Lane as opening rounds of the O'Neill Coldwater Classic got in the water.
"I think anytime you have an event where there's a lot of active sea life, shark sightings are a pretty common topic among the guys," Dave Prodan, the ASP's international media director, ...

U.S. Rep. John L. Mica (R-Fla) said that so far 80 companies and state departments of transportation have responded to the Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) request for expressions of interest to develop high-speed rail corridors.
"This overwhelming response is remarkable given the current state of the economy," said Mica, the Republican Leader of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
Last year, Mica was part of the effort to open high-speed rail development to private sector participation in 11 federally designated corridors in the U.S. The measure including this initiative was signed into law in October.
Those who have expressed interest so far include transportation finance companies; transportation consultants; architectural, engineering and construction firms; rail service providers; major international conglomerates; train manufacturers; and state departments of transportation.
The FRA plans to host a workshop with potential participants early this spring.
Below is the timeline for the submission and consideration of proposals:
For more information, search for docket number FRA-2008-0140 at www.regulations.gov
Every MI09 can transport up to 2,600 passengers at maximum speeds of approximately 75 miles per hour. Each train is made up of five cars, each equipped with three large doors on either side to facilitate passenger exchange in the stations.
The Brussels based UITP's World Congress is the major global gathering of the world's public transport industry to network, review progress and innovation, understand trends from suppliers as well as focus on the challenges that public transport faces in delivering a viable, sustainable future for the world.
The three additional cars will boost SMART's seating capacity by 35%, officials said. Because of the escalating costs for railcars, the grant also was estimated to have saved taxpayers about $11 million, according to state officials,
Will begin work on a seven-year, $700 million rail delivery partner contract awarded by the California High-Speed Rail Authority earlier this month.

|I actually agree with Hubbel's guide for this area in re: to "stars": Green Slab** is certainly worth doing as is The Buick*, and Unknown Face**. . . the [latter] being my favorite here. There's potential for more lines although, there is a sign posted (Boulder County I think) that says NO fixed hardware can be added. If you hike up to the [aqueduct] you'll find some nice lines up there (some trad. and some TR). If you are heading up the canyon or going to River Wall (et al.) then you should stop to climb these (the approach is 2 minutes).

There is a large quanity of poison Ivy here so know what to avoid before hiking up. The OH crack on the left inset rocks is pretty good but harder than 5.8 given in the book, and there is a moderate bolted line to its left, 10 or 9.
How did this place get this screwy name HSL? I'd vote to change the name back to the orginal name used by locals, and toss the name used in the guide book.

|HSL is the name of a Piana/Lavender route near the right end of the rock. Having possibly done the FA of the Initial Route, 11 years before their effort, I suggest naming this Buick Rock 3, in keeping with the theme in Gillett's guidebook.

Joan Crawford's Oscar Sells At Auction
Originally published on Wed September 26, 2012 10:36 am
Our last word today in business today is poison, as in box office poison. That's what John Crawford was once called by theater owners.
But she showed them, with her comeback movie, "Mildred Pierce."
When she was nominated for Best Actress, Crawford was so nervous, she skipped the Academy Award ceremony. Last night her Oscar from "Mildred Pierce" sold at auction for $426,732.
GREENE: And here's what John Crawford said about that Oscar: I deserved it.
INSKEEP: As do you, David.
GREENE: Thank you, Steve. Well, you deserve the business news each day on MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm David Greene.

Regardless of a gamer's console of choice, this current generation of gaming has the shoot-'em-up crowd covered in spades thanks to a continuous outpouring from indie shops. The latest independent developer to get in on the shoot-'em-up action is Tiki Games, formed at the beginning of 2006 in San Diego by a number of industry veterans including Planetside lead developer Kevin McCann.
In a post to Sony's official PlayStation Blog this week, McCann revealed that Tiki's first project, Novastrike, will touch down on the PlayStation Network as part of today's regularly scheduled update. The first self-published game for the PSN, according to McCann, Novastrike is a free-roaming top-down shooter where players hop into a high-tech aircraft to ward off an alien invasion with a nonstop spray of munitions. Players will be able to upgrade their ship's nine base weapons a total of three times each, and the game spans seven levels.
Also as part of today's PSN update, Sony has said that a rock rendition of the God of War II theme will be added exclusively to the PlayStation 3 edition of Activision's Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Titled, "The End Begins (to Rock)," the tune will be available as a free download when the update goes live later today.

They said it couldn't be done. No matter what Hollywood said, this book wouldn't be coming to the screen. It was too complex, too sweeping, too full of ideas, too perfect as a book. No way will anyone make a movie of it.
Tell that to Ang Lee -- he filmed "The Life of Pi," which opens November 21. It joins a long list of classics, beloved genre titles, literary game-changers, nonfiction tomes and even self-help books that have defied expectations and shown up on the big screen.

They'd make interesting slingshot targets.
Wonder how many will be shot down by fed-up citizens?
Sean in Dallas: quite a few, I think. This is one citizen who plans to do a lot of target practise on those drones.
I'd prefer drones over Africa protecting elephants,rhinos, etc.
Gawd the future is looking ugly.
@jamal49 : don't use them for target practice. In addition to it likely being illegal, someone might be injured (you would be shooting into the air, and the bullet could hit something on the ground – even a "spent" bullet can cause an injury).
If you can find out what frequency they use, a transmitter for jamming and a highly directional antenna so you don't impact others should be highly effective and hard to detect. With a loss of control, the drone will probably crash – at best it will wander off (e.g., if it can fly autonomously). At least it might keep the paparazzi at bay. If you try that with a government-owned drone and get caught, you can expect to be in some trouble, although probably not as much as you would be if you used a rifle.
I shall henceforth imagine "Flight of the Valkyries" in my head is I see one of those. And I live in Canada (so not expecting them to honour international borders at all)
@Stephen: the Ride of the Valkyries" starts the 3rd act of Die Walküre, and depicts Valkyries arriving on flying horses carrying the bodies of dead warriors. The drones are far too prissy for that.

Miami Heat
Heat pick dealt for LeBron helps James, Cavs land Love
By Ira Winderman and South Florida Sun Sentinel
August 24, 2014
The Miami Heat played a role in the Saturday trade that delivered Kevin Love to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, a deal that allowed the Minnesota Timberwolves to replace Love with Philadelphia 76ers forward Thaddeus Young. As part of the trade, the Cavaliers forwarded a lottery-protected first-round NBA Draft pick from the Heat to the Timberwolves, with Minnesota then forwarding the pick to Philadelphia. The pick is the second and final one due from the Heat from the July 2010 sign-and-trade deal that allowed them to sign James to a larger contract as a free agent that summer.

Just as LeBron James cited going home as a reason for his free-agency return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chris Andersen said Saturday among the reasons he re-signed with the Miami Heat was because South Florida felt like home. "It was definitely the loyalty from the fans and from the team," said the Texas native who signed a two-year, $10.3 million contract with the Heat last month. "That had a big part of it. And it's matter of me ending my career in a place that I'd be happy at and am familiar with.
The growing attraction of compression sleeves
By Steve Waters, Sun Sentinel
August 23, 2014
Many athletes wear compression apparel, but it's most apparent in the NBA. Players wear sleeves on their arms, legs, elbows and knees. The Miami company Zensah has been making compression garments for 10 years and among its first clients were members of the Miami Heat, including Dwyane Wade. Initially, Zensah geared its apparel for runners, who were all about compression undershorts and leg and arm sleeves. Cyclists also were using those products, as were those into spinning, cardio and lifting weights.

Toney Douglas signs to play in China; Heat looking at Barbosa
By Ira Winderman and South Florida Sun Sentinel
August 19, 2014
The Miami Heat continue to distance themselves from some of last season's roster in the wake of LeBron James' free-agency departure to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The latest member of last season's roster to relocate is point guard Toney Douglas, who has signed with play with the Jiangsu Dragons, the Chinese Basketball Association team that previously featured current Heat center Chris Andersen. Douglas was squeezed out by the drafting of University of Connecticut point guard Shabazz Napier and the decision to re-sign starting point guard Mario Chalmers.
Does Shawne getting No. 8 mean Beasley is gone?
By Ira Winderman and SunSentinel.com
August 16, 2014
August 16, 2014 Q: Ira, I saw you said they gave Michael Beasley's No. 8 to Shawne Williams. So I guess they're not going to retire Bease's number? (OK, so it means he's not coming back?) -- Henrique. A: An adjustment still could be made if Beasley is brought back, but that is an increasing longshot. But it's also not as if the Heat are mass producing Shawne Williams jerseys at this stage, either. While Beasley appears to be in the rearview mirror, the Heat still seems to be lacking on the wing, where the current options are Dwyane Wade, Luol Deng, Danny Granger, Reggie Williams, James Ennis and Tyler Johnson.
The down, up, down arc of Greg Oden
Ira Winderman and Sun Sentinel Columnist
August 16, 2014
The smiles from Greg Oden were limited, about as limited as his minutes. There was joy after the Jan. 15 season debut in Washington, after more than four seasons away from the game due to a series of debilitating injuries. A month later, he appeared to relish his time on stage at Battioke, joining then-teammate Shane Battier and actor Ken Jeong in the Backstreet Boys' I Want It That Way at Battier's karaoke charity event in Miami Beach. And in June, according to one insider, there was a look of palpable liberation inside the locker room at AmericanAirlines Arena as the Miami Heat packed up for the season.
Ray Allen addresses 'potentially devastating invasion' of Coral Gables home
By Ira Winderman and South Florida Sun Sentinel
August 16, 2014
A day after seven young adults entered the Coral Gables home of Miami Heat free-agent guard Ray Allen, the family and their attorney quantified the incident as more than an innocuous break in. "The crime was not only egregious, but the police characterization of this as a silly prank is completely inappropriate," said attorney Gregory Victor, who has been retained by the Allen family in the wake of the incident. Allen had initially rented his Coral Gables home while playing for the Heat, before recently purchasing the home.
Do Heat offseason expenditures add up?
By Ira Winderman and SunSentinel.com
August 15, 2014
August 15, 2014 Q: Pat Riley is slowly killing the Miami Heat. First with the Chris Bosh max salary, then with Birdman's $10 million dollar, two-year year salary and then he signs Udonis Haslem to a two-year $5.6 million dollar deal! WOW! I could have built a better team. -- Bruno, Fort Lauderdale. A: First, some of that was for bills past due, such as Chris Andersen playing for the below-market minimum the past two seasons, and for Haslem opting out of the final year of his deal to accommodate the Heat's "room" salary-cap exception.

Richard White: Can remaining directors function as a board?
Q. I read your article religiously and look forward to your answers to the myriad knotty board problems. I am the vice president of the board and former president. Our condominium documents call for a seven-member board of directors. One director died and the board has been deadlocked twice over choosing between two other owners. Subsequently, three directors resigned because of the deadlock. Can the remaining three directors meet and function as a board and appoint other owners to the empty seats?
A. The source for my answer is found in FS 617.0809. Associations are required to operate as a business under this statute: the Corporation Not For Profit Laws. The remaining directors must appoint/elect new directors and then if necessary elect new officers. To take this action, the remaining directors constitute a quorum to fill the vacancies. Elections have been determined by a draw of the cards. Maybe a director could be chosen to serve for half of the remaining time and another could serve out the remainder. What you have is a situation requiring comprise. I hear too many stories of directors who do not get their way and resign. Great men never quit, they just work harder.
Q. We read a column you wrote that stated "no owner can exclusively use the common areas" and sighted Florida Statute 718.107. Does this also apply to homeowner associations (HOA)? We have buffer areas and conservation areas that some owners are using exclusively.
St. Petersburg
A. You need to understand that there is a title difference between condominiums and HOA concerning common areas. In condominiums, each owner has title to an undivided interest in the common areas. Homeowner associations own the common areas, not the owners. The common areas are deeded in the name of the association. Members are required to be a member of the HOA and comply with the documents, rules and regulations. Ownership is similar but not the same as the title to common areas is totally in the name of the HOA. FS 720.304 says that all owners have rights to use the common area. It does not say that one owner can fence in or build to exclude others. In so many words, individual HOA owners cannot exclusively use the common areas for their private use the same as condominiums.
Q. We have an open mike after each board meeting. The past couple of months have become nothing but a gripe session for a few homeowners. They ask questions of the board and expect a response immediately that may require some research, they tear down the property manager and expect apologies from him for things they think he has done wrong. Is this what that time should be about?
A. Now you see the problems that occur when you try to let the members have time to complain. The solution is to establish a policy to control the members' right to talk. The board has the right to create meeting policies, specifically for this type of discussion after the meeting. Put the policy in writing and communicate it to the members. Establish it as a time to say positive things. Have a procedure for the member to complain. That would mean that they have to put their complaints in writing and submit it to the board in advance of the meeting. Never allow any director to respond to any question until they have had a time to research the question. This may mean that the answer will be given at the next meeting or in the next day or so. Above all, protect your manager. If the manager is not performing as directed by the board, then replace him/her but do not let the members set the terms. Protect your directors and officers and never allow statements at a meeting that put the board or manager in a negative position. Remember that such complaints should be in writing. Remind the members that you serve as a volunteer and they should respect that service. State that as a volunteer that you do try to be perfect but no human is perfect and you do make mistakes. Invite them to help solve the problem.
Q. At our last annual condominium election, there was a tie for the last director's position. It was discovered after the meeting that two votes were not allowed because they were not returned in the envelopes. The two members were at the meeting but the president invalidated their votes. Because the votes were not counted, we now have the expense of voting again to break the tie. Was the president correct to void these votes?
A. The source for this situation can be found in the Florida Administrative Code 61B-23.0021. In cases where the ballot is not properly executed, the words "Disregarded" is placed on the ballot/envelope. While the statutes define the laws for operations, the Administrative Codes provide detailed information. It is a shame that the instructions were not followed by the two members, but in this case the ballots were not properly cast and should be disregarded. While the statutes require that the board have blank ballots and envelopes at the meeting for members to vote, a member cannot recall their ballot and revote or cast a new ballot. Once voted, no ballot can be voted again.

To be considered, questions and comments should include the author's name and city. Questions should be about association operations, not legal matters.

Moustache Nubbin Visits the Albright-Knox Art Gallery
My husband had the week off, so today we went to the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo.
I learned that there is a difference between an art museum and an art gallery... a gallery only buys art from living artists. As I understand it, the Albright Knox started as a museum, but is now a gallery. I also found out that this gallery was built in 1905...before Canada was recognized as a country!

I brought a Moustache Nubbin along to take pictures with the art (Flat-Stanley style!). I had originally thought about bringing Hal, but I wanted something that could easily fit in my purse and not make me look like a crazy lady carrying around a stuffed animal. Nubbins are less conspicuous than sweater monsters.
This large sculpture in front of the gallery is made from canoes!
My husband suggested that I title this photo "Everyone Wants A Nubbin"!
Yup...that's a Picasso back there!
...And a Mondrian!...
...And a Matisse!
The artist/art teacher in me is flailing a bit. I've taught children about these artists and seen their work in books and online, but I got to see some in person!

New Monster Monday: Rainbow Cyclops
Friday, April 3, 2015
Good Friday...
A blessed Good Friday to you.
One of the church kids made this and gave it to me last Sunday (Palm Sunday). It's a cross made from a palm leaf.
(Warning...I'm going to get all "Christian-y" here. If you read my blog just for the fun monsters, that's fine. If "religion" freaks you out, you can skip this if you want. But this is a big part of who I am and I'm not going to hide it.)
I'm trying to be mindful of what today means. "Good Friday". When I was little, growing up in a Christian household, I always wondered why it was called "Good" Friday. It was the day Jesus died, so wasn't that bad? But as I grew up I understood more of why it was good.
"For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—
though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
(Romans 5:6-8 ESV)
It was good because Christ died for us as an ultimate sacrifice for our sin. Back in the Old Testament, they sacrificed animals who were flawless, "without spot or blemish". But they had to do it all the time. Jesus was our once-and-for-all sacrifice...flawless, spotless... sinless.
But the best part is that Jesus didn't stay dead. He rose from the dead on the third day.
I feel like there is so much to be said and explain. I grew up learning all the "Christian-ese" language and learning the Bible verses, so it's hard for me to step back and see if my words could make sense to someone who isn't a Christian or has never read the Bible. My best answer is to go ahead and read it. (I'd start with the New Testament. The book of John is usually what is recommended to start with.)
Those who seek Him will find Him. I'm not one of those people who will try to ram my beliefs down your throat or argue with you if you're not interested.
Those who seek Him will find Him. I'm not one of those people who will try to ram my beliefs down your throat or argue with you if you're not interested.
God is sinless and just and Holy, but God is also Love. He loves the sinner and wants to see them turn away from their sin. I may be a Christian, but I am still a sinner. The difference is that I am constantly repenting of my sins and realize that I can't do it on my own. I realize that I need Jesus.
And the reality is...we all need Him.

Fashion Finds: Torrid Deals
My mom works at a school and had this week off due to Spring Break. So she and my dad came out to visit and go out to lunch on Tuesday. During lunch, mom had mentioned that she's never been to the Galleria Mall in Buffalo, so we decided to have a spur-of-the-moment mother-daughter shopping trip (while dad hung out at my house, since he's not big on malls or shopping). My favorite store to go to at the Galleria is the plus-size women's clothing store, "Torrid", since there isn't one in any of the malls around
Rochester (which is where I usually go to shop, since I'm more familiar with Rochester).
I've been looking for a good coat for a while now that fits and flatters my plus-size frame. I've been wearing my husband's old wool coat for the past couple winters, and I can't button it up comfortably. I was searching for coats online back in January when there were some sales, but any coat I liked was either out of stock, or out of my price range. And I just don't like ordering clothes online. I need to try clothes on. But any coats I'd tried on at other stores were always too tight in the shoulders. I knew I needed to look at a specialty plus-size women's clothing store like Torrid.
So I was excited to find this coat on the clearance rack! I tried it on, and was able to button it up, and put my arms forward without it feeling too tight! The best part was that it was marked down! The original price was over $100, and it was marked down to around $50!
Torrid was also having a "Buy One, get the Second for 50% off" sale, so I decided to try on some dresses. My mom picked out this butterfly print one for me. I've decided that it's going to be my "Easter dress" this year.
This dress is comfy and looks good with my "wear a dress with jeans" style. I was trying to decide which dress to get, and mom insisted on buying one of them for me so I could get both! The stripey dress had a small tear in the seam of the skirt (easily fixable), so mom got them to discount it 40%!
I am usually really thrifty and typically buy my clothes at thrift stores (and occasionally Target and Old Navy), so buying something from Torrid was a major splurge for me!

Too Cute Tuesday: Bunny Nubbins!
Bunny Nubbins are in my Etsy shop!
Sorry that it's SO close to Easter that I'm getting them listed, but if you order by Wednesday (maybe even Thursday) you should get them by Sunday for Easter. I have the white bunny variations in stock, but if you order the Ninja Bunny, it may not get to you in time, since I have yet to make more

Monster Monday: Couch Monsters!
It's that time of year again! The sweater monsters are taking over my living room couch!
I'm prepping for Mayday Underground. Setting the sweater monsters out on the couch helps me get a good sense of how many monsters I have and what colors I need more of. I definitely need to work on making some brighter colored monsters. I seem to have a lot of darker colors and greys.

Worktable Wednesday: Watercolor Monsters
Every once in awhile, I get the urge to pursue other art mediums to get my creative juices flowing. If you know me only as a plush monster maker, you may not know that I love to paint. I painted a lot in my senior year of high school and then in college.
I've always had a bit of a love/hate relationship with watercolors. They intrigue me, but there is very little room for error. When I used to paint a lot, I preferred acrylics. But my interest in watercolor keeps creeping back every once in awhile. I tend to use them a lot when teaching art to kids. They are quicker than acrylics in terms of cleanup. I like the look. And I've recently tried to embrace their slight unpredictability.
|Watercolor pencils were a Christmas gift from my mother-in-law years ago. I made a chart to see how the pencils look on paper and when water is added.
I've also started combining watercolors with black pen.
I am debating whether I should add watercolor paintings to my KiraArts products or just keep it as a "just for me" creative outlet, with no pressure to make them to sell. Because I do admit, sometimes that pressure saps the creativity from me. I actually am feeling very uninspired to make plush lately for some reason. I'm hoping maybe this brief foray into watercolor can help bring back the spark.
|My Leonard Nimoy Tribute Monster
I did this little sketch in the waiting room while getting my car inspected! I recently watched Big Hero 6 and was inspired! I am absolutely in love with the design of Baymax. The simplicity of that face! That squishy belly! And he's just the proportions I tend to favor in my monster designs...long torso, long arms, stubby legs. I just want to hug him! I love Baymax!
|Some Big Hero 6 & KiraArts crossover art!

High School Sports
Westview girls overcome slow start to stop Millennium 35-21
How does a basketball team recover after scoring just a single point in the first quarter?
It tightens up its defense.
That was the successful formula for the girls from Avondale Westview as they rallied to post a 35-21 road victory over rival Goodyear Millennium on Tuesday night (Jan. 21).
Westview (17-4) held Millennium, which lost for only the second time this season (19-2), to just 14 points over the final three quarters.
The Lady Knights continued to have Millennium's number after defeating the Tigers twice last season on the way to a 33-2 finish.
"It was a tough game. Our girls really wanted this game,'' said Westview coach Lisa Contreras.
She acknowledged that her team might have been a bit too anxious to start the game.
The Lady Knights mixed their signature pressure defense with a more deliberate, methodical offense that passed the ball with efficiency.
Saylair Grandon hit a three-pointer midway through the second quarter to put Westview up for good. She led all scorers with 10 points. Guards Rene Contreras and Marissa Rincon each had four points in the quarter.
Westview had a balanced offense in the third quarter and allowed just one basket to build a 29-13 lead entering the final quarter.
Millennium had a bit of a spark in the final period, but by then was in too deep of a hole to climb out.
Raina Perez scored nine points to lead Millennium, including a 3-pointer.
Rene Contreras had been bothered by a stiff back and forward Gloria Korval (three points) was slowed by a sore ankle.
Both teams return to action on Thursday (Jan. 23) with road games, Millennium at Laveen Betty H. Fairfax and Westview at Tolleson.

About the ManufacturerIn 1869, a man named L. Lewis Sagendorph fulfilled his ambition to begin his own company that would produce the finest metal products in America. He called his fledgling business the Penn Metal Corporation of Pennsylvania, and began by making steel culvert pipe on Oregon Avenue in South Philadelphia.
Over the years, Penn Metal's product lines broadened to include lockers, shelving and even aircraft landing mats. A reputation for quality fabrication spread, and the company's influence became nationwide. In the 1950's, the name was shortened to Penco Products and the plant and offices were expanded to a modern facility in Oaks, Pennsylvania, near Valley Forge, PA.
Penco became a subsidiary of Vesper Corporation in 1979 and continued to grow. In 1994 the company added a manufacturing plant in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 2001, the East coast manufacturing facilities were moved from Oaks to a 400,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Hamilton, North Carolina, allowing significant room for expansion. The corporate headquarters remains in Pennsylvania.
The need for storage products is universal, and Penco's markets span the spectrum of industrial, service, governmental and institutional organizations. Shelving and pallet rack products are popular with warehousing and manufacturing applications, ranging from a few units to multi-level installations. Lockers are widely used in educational facilities, fitness centers, health care, commercial and industrial locations. Other products such as storage cabinets, work benches and shop furniture are used wherever material gets shipped, received or stored.
Penco's mission is to provide customers with value in the form of the finest storage products available.

Great product!
Chrissy from Colorado Springs, CO – Verified Buyer
We bought 3 of the lockers - one for each child - for our mudroom. They are big and take a lot of time to assemble, but are well worth the effort involved. My kids loved picking their own color and like having their things all in one place. The bottom foot locker holds tons of shoes and boots, the assembled locker is very sturdy and solid, and bigger things easily go on top. Would be great for any home where you need to keep dirty, wet, messy clothes and shoes all in one place. No more searching for school bags and shoes every morning!
Perfect choice!
pati from Texas – Verified Buyer
Sorry it's taken me a while to rate this product[...] it's been in the boxes in the garage until this past weekend. I put it together all by myself and it really wasn't that difficult. It is going in a teenage boy's bedroom so I'm a little concerned that it may not be quite heavy enough, but we'll have to wait and see. Otherwise, it's perfect in his room. Exactly what I wanted!!!!
love these lockers
jay from hartford,ct – Verified Buyer
We bought theses lockers for our mud room. The kids got to pick their own colors. They are very heavy and solid. They took the place of an awkward closet.Only problem was putting them together, the directions are not very clear but once we got one together the others were a breeze.
great deal, kids will never be able to destroy these
Brian from Boston – Verified Buyer

I ordered four of these units.They arrived all packaged on one pallet which was fine except the shipper/manufacturer used very little packaging materials. When the pallet arrived the outer packaging looked great but when I opened the outer packaging it was clear all the metal panels had rubbed together. The end result was four units that we're all scratched up and needed lots of touch up paint.
Good Product

Works well.
Most assembly required
Busy Dad from Wisconsin
The instructions for assembly are a joke! Your best bet is to to print off a picture of your unit from the web-site and assembly by the photo. [...] 2 hours to assemble the first unit. 1 hour for each additional unit.Nice product but poor assembly directions.
