I have lived in these apartments for about 6 years now. I moved from a one bedroom to a two bedroom a few times to try out different buildings. I agree that the upkeep was at a much higher quality when I first moved and then has slowly descended into a mini depression. I do feel badly for the maintenance staff because I can imagine that it is not their fault perhaps budget was cut and now a quarter of the former staff numbers have to deal with the entire property. That's guestimating as I only see maintenance out and about just fixing things 25% as frequently as I used to.
The fenced in patio is wonderful for a small dog when she has to potty in a hurry before you go to work, however I did wake up one morning and find I had no fence. All the fences in my court had been removed to be replaced with no forewarning that I noticed and they were not fully replaced for about 4 weeks (they only put in the posts and left them there to set for a month) I saw one guy working on them alone in the rain once. The addison has section 8 housing again so my neighbors move in and out frequently and care not at all about their home or the other neighbors. I believe the section 8 may be restricted to certain buildings so perhaps management can elaborate if this is still true. If I am going to pay a continuously increasing sum I would like to have some information on the place I'm living in as these changes occur. The past two years really have been the worst in terms of rent. They have moved to a shorter lease policy which is good for some but also the rent has gone up 35$ each time the lease was renewed, even tho maintenance has gone down hill. I had to shovel my own steps and a few parking spots which may make me sound spoiled but the reason I chose to pay a higher monthly rent price was because maintenance was supposed to take care of these things otherwise I would have gone for a house. The AC was out several times this summer. They did speed up their visit after my second call about it when I told them my animal was dying on the floor of heat stroke. The water heater and furnace both are also old like the AC and work when they feel like it.
It really is a shame that glick isn't putting more money into this community because it could really be a gem. Management is nice enough when you actually speak with them but realistically what can they do? Replace everyone's rickety old furnaces? Replace all the poorly insulated patio doors? Spend 5$ more on better thermostats that make sense? I bet the company would be very pleased with their expense report, and choose not to continue pushing the revolving door of management. I will not be renewing my lease.

We rely on input from our residents to help us focus our efforts, and we're pleased to hear in this review about some of the things we're doing right. The fact that our community is pet-friendly, offers fenced patio areas, and is reasonably-priced are among the things that make us a top choice in the neighborhood. Our friendly and outgoing staff are another reason why our residents choose our community above others; and they do take great pride in keeping the sidewalks clear of snow and ice. That said, this resident certainly does seem to have been faced with some challenges; and we sincerely regret that due to the message being posted anonymously, we're unable to follow up on the specific concerns listed here to determine their merit. Please know that we do take feedback from our residents with the utmost seriousness; and if you're reading this review while your'e shopping for a new, reasonably-priced apartment home or one that will welcome your pet, we hope you won't allow one review to stand in the way of visiting personally, and giving us the opportunity to prove our commitment to quality, service, and the satisfaction of those who call our community their home.

The Celebrity President in the White House will have some competition for celebrity status this week when Celebrity Wannabe President Mitt Romney will be on the receiving end of a fundraiser in Las Vegas hosted by the host of "Celebrity Apprentice."
Newt Gingrich will also be on hand to join Romney and the Buffoon Tycoon himself, Donald Trump.
Maybe it should be called The Bad Hair Day Tour.
Some are jokingly referring to the three political amigos as the new Rat Pack, a term that was famously played to the hilt in Vegas in the 1960s by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. This time, because of all the money that's going to be spent to buy Romney the presidency, they should be referred to as the Rat SuperPAC.
Once again the rules of the game have, well, flip-flopped. President Obama was criticized for his Hollywood fundraiser at George Clooney's house. But it's perfectly acceptable for Mittens to play Vegas with The Donald.
Speaking of playing Vegas, one can imagine the Buffoon Tycoon trying to rehearse Mr. Roboto and Newtered for how they will entertain all the fat cats at the fundraiser. It might be going something like this:
Trump: This is how it's going to be. I will be Sinatra, the leader of this exclusive Rat SuperPAC. Let's face it, I'm more Frank than you two.
Mitt: Excuse me, but may I interject something here? If you're Frank, then who am I? I'm the one running to be leader of the free enterprise world.
Trump: I've decided you're going to be Dean Martin. Dino. He had greaseball hair just like you.
Mitt: If I may interject again. If we're talking about hair ….
Trump: Do not make fun of the hair, or you won't be president.
Mitt: Right. Sorry.
Trump: Frank was the chick magnet. Need I say more? As Dino, you can have the skirts I discard like so many runners-up in a beauty pageant.
Mitt: But I'm a happily married man. I've been married to one woman all of my adult life.
Newt: Not me.
Trump: I don't remeber saying you could speak, Newt. You're here for comic relief. Maybe we'll have you perform with a monkey, since you like animals so much. No wonder the GOP was called a circus.
Mitt: If we want to play up the circus angle, we can always bring Rick Perry on board. Now there's a clown. [laughs]
Trump: Yet another lame idea from the man who tied his dog to the roof of his car. By the way, curb that creepy laugh of yours. You sound like Snidley Whiplash from the old Dudley Do-Right cartoons.
Newt: I could be the lion tamer.
Trump: I could get a penguin to bite you in an uncomfortable place.
Mitt: I'm sorry, I wasn't really listening. All I heard was penguin. So Dick Cheney is going to show up.
Trump: If you guys were on my show "Celebrity Apprentice " —- Sundays on NBC —- you would both lose to Gary Busey.
Mitt: Speaking of TV, I heard Fox News is going to cover the fundraiser. Free advertising. And the commercials will be the ones created by our SuperPACS.
Trump: And like the Super Bowl, the show will premiere the spectacular commercial for the new line of Mitt Romney sports footwear.
Mitt: You mean…?
Trump: Yes. The Etch-A-Sketchers.
Mitt: Is it the spot where Chuck Norris is running down an Occupy Wall Streeter and then leaves the trademark from the bottom of the product on the punk's face?
Trump: That's the one. There will be others. It's going to be huge.
Mitt: I love venture capitalism.
Newt [laughing]: Not vulture capitalism?
Trump: So I'm Frank, Mitt is Dino, so that must make you…
Newt [nervously]: Sammy Davis Jr?
Trump: In a way. But since we're the party of the angry white guys —– some of us forunate enough to have trophy wives — and lots and lots of money, that will have to change. So I'll make you the albino in the trio.
Newt: An albino?
Mitt: You are the saltine mo'fo of the group.
Newt: I don't have to become Jewish, do I? I mean, I just turned Catholic and I can't sleep at nights because of all that guilt stuff.
Mitt: If I may interject, again. Maybe we should leave religion out of this.
Trump: Finally an idea from you that actually makes sense.
Mitt: What about the birther stuff? If I may be so direct, I'm uncomfortable with that.
Trump: Let me deal with that. As Frank, I'm going to retitle and rework some of Ol' Blue Eyes' hits as it applies to this president.
Newt: Like what?
Trump: That's good, be the straight man. For example, Frank's "Birth of the Blues" will become "Birther the Blues." And "Come Fly with Me" becomes "Come Fly with Me to My Birthplace in Kenya." And of course, after Nov. 6, "All the Way" becomes "All the Way back to Kenya."
Mitt: If I may contribute, "High Hopes" could become "We had such High Hopes."
Trump: Better yet, "We had such High Hopes of finding your birth certificate." But yours is good, too. I just might let you allow me to give the keynote address at the Republican National Convention.
Newt: How about if you sing one for your wife? You can call it "The Lady is a Trump."
Trump and Mitt (in unison): You're fired.

Originally written on Inside the Hall | Last updated 12/5/12
Early in the second half of Indiana's 87-51 win over Coppin State, the Hoosiers went to a 1-2-2 trap on defense. But it's when Tom Crean subbed out Yogi Ferrell — who had been playing the "1″ at the top of the trap — at the 15:58 mark that it started to really pay off. Victor Oladipo shifted into Ferrell's spot and he was just about everywhere until he was relieved at the 12:16 mark. Oladipo recorded six deflections (unofficially). The Hoosiers went on a 14-2 run in this timeframe and he scored (six points — a dunk and four free throws) or assisted (three in total — a lay-up and 3-pointer for Remy Abell, a 3-pointer for Jeremy Hollowell) on all 14 points. Below: A look at one play from this run, as well as a supercut of a number of his deflections throughout the game in the latest edition of Film Session. – Oladipo and Abell pin Patrick Cole near halfcourt: He has two options immediately across the timeline, but with Christian Watford lurking, he opts to make the safer pass in the...

It's 25 things you never thought you'd miss about Ireland.
Prepare to be homesick after reading this.
1. Sniggering at place names
Back in the motherland, you can go diving in Muff, catch a cold in Birr and drive through Granny, all the while delighting that your level of immaturity is now matched by your new geographical acumen.
2. Chippers
There is absolutely nothing that compares to the hot, delicious, salt and vinegar penetration of the senses otherwise known as a bag of proper chipper chips.
3. Benign creatures
Other countries are full of things that want you dead.
4. Irish slang
Acting the maggot, Banjaxed, Chancer, Divil, Eejit, Flitters, Gob, Header, I am in me wick, Jackeen, Kip, Langers, Manky, Nip, Off your nut, Plonker, Quick hawk, Reddener, Shenanigans, Throwing shapes, Up to ninety, Vit, Wagon, Y-fronts, Yonks, Zipless
5. Amhrán na bhFiann
Very few national anthems have been subjected to the same creative treatment at the hands of its people and athletes as ours. The most artistically interesting interpretations in terms of dance, stance and lyrics happen at about 2.30am on a Saturday in rural nightclubs all over the country.
6. Not calling St. Patrick's Day 'Patty's Day'
For reasons unknown, the rest of the world is convinced the man who freed us from the tyranny of snakes should share his name with a greasy, disk-shaped serving of meat-like substance.
7. Drawing stuff on the bus window condensation
Regardless of your age, there is something deeply comforting about tracing your finger along a damp bus window during your commute home on the 66B.
8. You're a lovely girl
Ladies, now that you're not in Ireland anymore, no longer must you endure the beer-soaked drunk interrupting your conversation to compliment your loveliness while eyeballing your breasts. Instead you're stuck abroad with endless conversation while you sigh into your push-up bra.
9. Penneys…
This is currently the standard response in Ireland when someone compliments any part of your outfit. In fact, in years to come, Penneys, which is our answer to Target or some such, will have replaced the word 'thanks'.
10. Distinctive cities
Screenwriter and film director Christopher Nolan may not be planning to film his next metropolitan masterpiece in Limerick or Waterford anytime soon but at least our cities don't incite a sense of déjà vu.
11. Your Mammy's nagging
The woman who gave you a bowl haircut, numerous spit 'n sleeve face washes and humiliated you in front of every suitor you ever brought home is now engrained in your mind as a kind-hearted tea giver and all-round provider of comfort.
12. Giving out

The surprisingly attractive and able Highlander stays essentially unchanged after Toyota's thorough update for 2014.
Same four-cylinder and V6 engines return, both using a six-speed automatic transmission; hybrid version also returns basically unchanged.
Despite its fantastic Sienna minivan, there are plenty of Toyota buyers who can't stand the thought of driving one every day. So, the Highlander is a popular second choice, especially when equipped with available third-row seating; it has lots of room for those who adorn their car windows with stick-people characterizations of their broods. For the 2014 model year, Toyota upped its styling game with more dramatic look that's far less boxy and boring. The handsome trapezoidal grille and lower air intake will attract buyers who might otherwise not give the Highlander a second glance. The overall size hasn't changed much from the outgoing wagon, but a nearly three-inch extension in overall length and a bit more width has helped improve interior packaging to the point where rear stowage space behind the third row increased by a claimed 34 percent. Up front, the styling is equally pleasing as well as practical with an enlarged floor-console bin for swallowing laptop 'puters, large purses and the like. The new dashboard and control panel are swathed in soft-touch materials and the gauge cluster has also been given a complete updating. Mechanically, the Highlander follows a familiar tune: a 187-horsepower four-cylinder earns base-engine status, while a 270-horse V6 is optional, but necessary if all-wheel-drive is your pleasure. A six-speed automatic is the sole transmission for both engines. Back again to save the day by saving fuel is the Highlander Hybrid all-wheel-drive model that uses a 3.5-liter V6 working with front and rear electric motors to produce a combined 280 horsepower. The Hybrid is equipped with a unique on-demand four-wheel-drive setup in the interests of fuel efficiency. It operates through a continuously variable transmission with no set gearing. All Highlanders arrive with the expected air conditioning and power-operated controls. The three-place second-row bench can be swapped for captain's chairs that reduces passenger seating to seven from eight.

If you leave 2 frozen pork loins on the counter to thaw at 11:00 am, planning to stick them back in the fridge after a couple hours to continue thawing, but then at 4:30 miserably realize that you completely forgot to put them back in the fridge, would you toss them or still cook them? :( They are room temperature to the touch. (Tried googling this, but the answer is indeterminate.)
I am such a giant Fail tonight.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
On a quiet street near L'Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysees
The Mon Hotel is on a quiet street near L'Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysees. There's endless shopping and cafes in the area, but the neighborhood is also a central spot for workers during the day -- so it's busy.
There are two metro stops very close by, making it easy to sightsee. Choose between Argentine or the Charles de Gaulle Etoile, which has quick and direct access to the airport.
This boutique hotel is a beacon of style on an otherwise quiet and nondescript street near L'Arc de Triomphe. The Mon Hotel pays homage to pop culture, with black and white photography of iconic celebrities like Marilyn Monroe lining the walls and funky chandeliers hanging from the lobby ceiling. There are only 36 rooms here, taking up six floors, and they're all just as stylish as the lobby, with crisp white linens and modern amenities such as flat-screen TVs and iPod docks. Higher tier rooms have more amenities, including balconies/terraces (some with seating) and Nespresso machines. The Mon Restaurant/Bar is multi-use and serves breakfast buffet in the morning, and small plates during the day. In the evening, candles are lit and lounge music plays to silent black-and-white films on a giant screen -- a cool vibe for a pre- or post-dinner cocktail. Quieter guests need not worry --the joint closes at midnight, so there's no late-night party scene. The hotel also has a spa, Turkish bath, and small fitness center.

MONDAY, Sept. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Money can help buy happiness -- at least if you're bringing in about $75,000 a year, new research shows.
While happiness increases along with annual household incomes up to about $75,000, beyond that, earning more money has no effect on day-to-day contentment, according to the study.
But that doesn't mean you should give up trying to get that promotion. While making more won't help your emotional state on any given day, people who had household incomes above $75,000 were more apt to say they were satisfied overall with their life.
Those who made, say, $120,000 reported more satisfaction with their lives and had a higher assessment of their life overall than those who made less, while those who made $160,000 evaluated their lives even better still.
"It's really important to recognize that the word 'happiness' covers a lot of ground," said study author Angus Deaton, a professor of economics and international affairs at Princeton University. "There is your overall evaluation of how your life is going, while the other has to do more with emotional well-being at the moment. Higher incomes don't seem to have any effect on well-being after around $75,000, whereas your evaluation of your life keeps going up along with income."
The study is in the Sept. 6 early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Researchers used data from the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, which surveyed 450,000 Americans in 2008 and 2009 about their household income, emotional state during the prior day and overall feelings about their life and well-being.
Both measures of happiness are getting at something different, Deaton noted. You might be feeling blue or unhappy one day because your boss hassled you or you got a speeding ticket, but overall, you think life is going pretty well.

($75) Fairly pale color. Distinctly more exotic and gamey aromas than the very young 2005, offering butterscotch, truffle, earth, baking spices and smoky oak. Then suave, sweet and wonderfully full, with more obvious ripeness and thickness of texture than the '05. This is stuffed with material and finishes very long, broad and sweet. "The 2004 is to drink while the 2005 is to save," comments Kongsgaard.Author: Stephen Tanzer

Yield: Serves 4
- 1 pound 2 ounces (about 20) Brussels sprouts
- 1½ tablespoons butter
- 3 teaspoons wholegrain mustard
- 2 teaspoons honey
Trim the ends and remove any loose leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Make a small slit across the base of the stem. Put the sprouts in a large steamer and cover with a lid. Sit the steamer over a saucepan of boiling water and steam for 15 minutes, or until tender. Refresh under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Put the butter, mustard, and honey in a saucepan over low heat and stir to melt the butter. Add the sprouts and toss until well coated in the butter mixture and heated through. Pile onto a plate and serve immediately.

44 CFR 361.5 - Criteria for program assistance, matching contributions, and return of program assistance funds.
(2) Provide a share of the costs of the activities for which assistance is being given, in accordance with § 361.4; and
(3) Demonstrate that it is taking actions to ensure its ability to meet the 50 percent cash contribution commitment either on an ongoing basis or for new States, by the fourth year of funding.
(i) The Governor of newly participating State must certify to the FEMA Regional Administrator the State will take steps to meet the 50 percent cash contribution requirement after the third year of funding. The specific steps to be taken will be outlined in the certification which must be submitted prior to the State receiving program funds.
(ii) The Governor must certify the State's continued commitment in the second and third years of funding. The certification will describe the progress made on the steps contained in the previous year's certification and steps to be taken in the future. The certification must be submitted to the Regional Administrator before the State will receive program funds.
(iii) If a State encounters difficulties meeting the 50 percent cash contribution requirement for the target allocation following the fourth year of funding, the Regional Administrator may require the Governor to continue certifying the State is working to resolve the difficulty.
(b) The value of any resources accepted as a matching share under one Federal agreement or program cannot be counted again as a contribution under another.
(c) The State seeking the match shall submit documentation sufficient for FEMA to determine that the contribution meets the following requirements. The match shall be:
(1) Necessary and reasonable for proper, cost-effective and efficient administration of the project, allocable solely thereto, and except as specifically provided herein, not be a general expense required to carry out the overall responsibilities of State and local governments;
(3) Not allocable to or included as a cost of any other Federally financed program in either the current or a prior period;
(5) Consistent with any limitations or exclusions set forth in these regulations, Federal laws or other governing limitations as to types of cost items;
(6) Accorded consistent treatment through application of generally accepted accounting principles appropriate to the circumstances;
(8) Consistent with OMB Circular A-87, "Cost Principles for State and Local Governments," and with 44 CFR part 13, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments.
(d) A State must submit and FEMA must approve a statement of work before the State receives any grant funds. The statement of work and target allocation of funds are based on a 12-month performance period. Except under extenuating circumstances, the funds initially obligated to the State will be based on the amount of time remaining in the performance period at the time the statement of work is approved. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB control number 3067-0170)
(e) States are expected to perform activities and therefore expend funds on a quarterly basis in accordance with the approved statement of work. At the end of the third quarter, State and FEMA regional office staff will review the State's accomplishments to date. Funds not expended in accordance with the approved statement of work by the end of the third quarter of the performance period will not be made available to the State unless the State can demonstrate, and FEMA approves, its ability to perform activities adequately resulting in the expenditure of the funds by the end of the performance period.

"Bill was a very curious person and had great integrity. He wasn't afraid to stand up when he saw a threat and question dogma, and while he held strong opinions, he respected others," said Dr. Stephen G. Reich, professor of neurology at the medical school, where he is also co-director of Maryland Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center with Dr. Shulman.
"He was an excellent researcher, clinician, teacher and role model. Bill was a very charismatic person but in a very quiet way," said Dr. Reich, who added that his colleague was "well-liked by not only his patients but students and staff as well."
In his eulogy, Dr. Reich said that "he didn't sweat the small stuff. Yet he did sweat big stuff and was highly intolerant of wishy-washy logic, injustice and threats to academic integrity."
"His death is a great loss for neurology, his patients and on a personal level our department, where he certainly left his mark," said Dr. Reich. "He trained so many in the field of Parkinson's disease, and they will be his legacy."
Dr. Weiner, who lived at the St. James Condominiums in Guilford, was a man of wide-ranging interests.
"He liked to try new things. He was very intellectual," said Dr. Reich, who said his friend's interests included reading, history, art, architecture, the Arts and Crafts movement, gourmet cooking, entertaining and single-malt scotches.
"He was a tremendous collector. Our home was furnished in Arts and Crafts artifacts," said Dr. Shulman, who said her husband also collected masks, quilts and pottery.
A week before his death, in a ceremony attended by 80 medical school administrators and colleagues at his home, Dr. Weiner learned that the in-patient neurological service center at the school was being named in his honor.
Dr. Weiner was a member of Beth Am Synagogue.
Services were held Dec. 31 at Sol Levinson & Bros.
In addition to his wife, Dr. Weiner is survived by two daughters, Monica Weiner of New York City and Miriam Weiner of Brooklyn, N.Y.; a stepson, Joshua Shulman of Houston; a stepdaughter, Corey Shulman of Atlanta; a brother, Barry Weiner of Champaign, Ill.; a sister, Merle Weiner of Berkeley, Calif.; and five grandchildren. An earlier marriage ended in divorce.
Dr. William J. Weiner, UM chairman of neurology
He had headed the department of neurology at the University of Maryland and its movement disorders center

My grandson is four-months-old and is breastfed solely. At his four month check up his pediatrician said he was concerned about his weight gain and wanted him to be supplemented with formula. My daughter had just started to give him a little stage 1 baby food and rice cereal a couple of days before his appointment. He also said to go ahead and give him more baby food. The baby was in the 25th percentile in height and between the 5th and 10th percentile in weight. He is alert, active, grasping toys, almost rolling over and quite frankly just an all around pleasant baby. He does not look skinny, but he is not a "Gerber" looking baby. My daughter is very distressed and does not want to give him formula. The pediatrician set up an appointment for 1 week after his four month appointment and advised my daughter that if he did not show signs of weight gain they were going to run tests on him. My daughter has not given him any formula but instead is trying to nurse him to the point he is just stuffed. He loves the baby food and she has increased that as well. I almost feel like we are going to create an unhealthy baby by overfeeding him. What do you think? K., Dania Beach
First thing to do is congratulate your daughter on having breastfed solely for the first four months. As for the discrepancy between the height and weight, his pediatrician could be worried for multiple reasons. If the pediatrician wants to see him back in one week, they are very concerned. It is rare for pediatricians to recommend supplementing with formula, especially with a mother who has obviously shown she has the skills to breastfeed successfully for four months.

This course employs 360-degree, 3D visualizations that provide an unprecedented perspective of the equipment, players, and microphone placements discussed. Plus, with the raw audio files provided, you can critically listen to every recorded example at home with your DAW of choice at full 24-bit resolution.
So now that we've got the tracks recorded, it's time to put a quick mix together. That way we can send it to the band and everyone can start hearing what the song is going to sound like when it's fully mixed. Before we begin our rough mix, let's set up some effects so we can put any instruments or vocals into an artificial space if necessary. This setup is designed to get you up and running quickly with the parameters in a general position to where they almost always sound at least acceptable and sometimes even surprisingly good. This setup also works well when you're tracking and need some quick effects.
It uses two different reverbs and a delay. Reverb 1 will be used primarily for the drums. Set it to a Room with the DECAY at 1.5 seconds and a PRE-DELAY of 20 milliseconds. If a LOW PASS FILTER is available, set it to 10 kilohertz or even 8 kilohertz. If a HIGH PASS FILTER is available, set it to about 600 hertz. Let's listen to what it sounds like on a snare drum. (music playing) Reverb 2 is meant for all other instruments and vocals.
Set it to a Plate with a 1.8 second DECAY time and a PRE-DELAY of 20 milliseconds. If a LOW PASS FILTER is available, set it to 10 kilohertz or even 8 kilohertz. If a HIGH PASS FILTER is available, set it to 150 hertz. Let's listen to this reverb on the guitar and then on the piano. (music playing) The delay can be used on vocal and instruments.
Set it for about 220 milliseconds of DELAY and the FEEDBACK for a couple of repeats, which is about 4%. In real mix, we would time the delay to the tempo of the song. Let's listen to what it sounds like on the vocal. (music playing) So there you have it, the setup of two reverbs and a delay will get you up and running quickly and sound surprisingly good.
Set the first reverb to a Room with a DECAY of 1.5 seconds and use that for the drums. Set the second reverb to a Plate with a DECAY time of 1.8 seconds and use that for everything else. Use a PRE-DELAY of 20 milliseconds for both reverbs and roll them off at 100 hertz and 10 kilohertz. Finally, add a DELAY set to about 220 milliseconds and a couple of repeats to use on the vocal.

Say Hey!
Online dating? Honestly, sometimes I feel like Bill O'Reilly trying to use a teleprompter, I'd rather do it live. Being online is a departure from the good old fashioned, speak to strangers, friends-of-friends-of-friends method of dating. If I was a drink, I'd be a mix of curious and optimistic with a splash of hesitance & "f*** it". That said, if you like what you see or read, say Hello, or say anything to make me a believer :) That said...here goes... I enjoy deep breaths and hikes through the woods, over mountains, and along the beach. I am active so that I can better appreciate standing still. I am curious. I am adventurous. I am a born thinker, and a born again do-er. I value my family, friends, community. I wake up every morning with the intention that whatever I do, will lead to improving someone else's condition, and in so doing, improve my own. I enjoy conversations and beverages and have been known to bust a move on the dance floor. A few more tangible things about me. I run, swim (although somewhat vertically), cycle, climb rocks, practice Bikram (and mop floors to make it free), build things (DIY), grow things, cook foods, enjoy farmers markets, like to people watch, love dogs, am amused by cats, mentor the next generation, work with the human-computer interaction, own an extended page passport, and write down my thoughts in the form of prose, poetry, and bulleted lists...depending on my mood. I'm not afraid to take a dance class, try my hand at art, or pick up a mic in front of a crowd, be it for professional discussion or at a karaoke bar. Where I fall short, others pick me up, and I expect nothingness of myself than to reciprocate. I'm a lover, not a fighter, but have learned to throw down where need be. I am patient, I am humble, I am proactive, I am outstanding. I don't believe in perfection, but rather a "better" state of being that I expect to attain alongside good people...and perhaps, through this site or not, hand in hand with a pretty awesome, imperfect, radiant partner. The delight we inspire in others has the enchanting peculiarity that, far from being diminished like every other reflection, it returns to us more radiant than ever...(borrowed from V. Hugo) Be you friend or otherwise, I'm looking for the opportunity to connect and share in life's adventures!

Raffi Torres' game is based on force and fury, his hard-hitting style fueling his teammates and inspiring fear in opponents. But as he sat out for 21 games, the result of a suspension for hitting Chicago's Marian Hossa in last year's playoffs, the Phoenix Coyotes left wing had to rethink the way he plays, find a way to retain his aggressiveness and remove some of the questionable hits that have gotten him in trouble in the past. After hours of watching video with coach Dave Tippett, the new-version Torres gets his first live test when the Coyotes host the Dallas Stars on Saturday night. ''I'm excited - it's been quite a long time,'' Torres said Thursday. ''I just want to be out there helping the boys out.'' Since he broke into the NHL with the New York Islanders in 2001, Torres' contributions have come from his combination of skill and physical presence. Playing for six teams in his 11 NHL seasons, Torres has scored 25 points or more seven times - his career high of 27 goals ca...

Thread: Opacity, yes/no?
December 16th, 2011 #1
Opacity, yes/no?
I've been doing some digital work mostly for fun for a while now, and when mixing colours, and creating form, I always use about 5-10% opacity and different shades of the same colour to create darks/lights
Recently I was told on another website that I shouldn't use opacity at all and I should be using flow at around 50%, I tried messing around with it, but it just doesn't seem to work as well, can anyone help explain if this is correct, or what are the advantages of flow over opacity?
Sorry if this is in the wrong section or has been asked before I couldn't find anythingMy Sketch Book: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...=1#post3085866

December 16th, 2011 #2
Well, I always use 100% Opacity and Flow, and if you don't feel 50% flow works for you, don't use it. A lot of artists have their special tweaks, brush presets etc they prefer to use so work what feels comfortable to you, but don't be hesitant to test different stuff.
If you know how to paint and use Photoshop, little tweaks in Opacity and Flow aren't likely to make or break things.

Not to avoid helping with your question, but based on your sketchbook my advice for you would be to focus on your drawing. Work mainly from life and reference and the technicalities of the medium will work themselves out of your trying to achieve likeness.
Working from ref will also teach you not to compartmentalise so much; you draw isolated background-less subjects and even then you separate the various parts with black lines or other artifacts. The separations draw attention to themselves and prevent cohesion.

There is no one way to approach problem solving when you paint in Photoshop or traditionally. If you always do things the same way for every instance you aren't paying attention and you are a formula painter. That is never a positive thing.
You wouldn't go around fixing everything in your house with a chainsaw just because you were really good with it. Different settings give you different effects and a different avenue of expression, so explore what works best and gives you the best results. You learn how to use the tools not when to use them.
There is too much copying what other people do nowadays which makes everything have this sameness to it in concept art. Its an ignorant way to approach any type of art. You want to understand the fundamental principles of painting then apply them in your own painting in a unique way to solve the problems of illustration. If you are copying someone else's style you are a second rate hack. That means using someone elses preset brushes instead of making your own or using someones settings for brush pressure, brush sizes and brush shapes and all the other lazy approaches people do with digital painting.

And then God said, "Let us make man in our likeness and our image. Let us make him ridiculously hard to draw so that poor artists everywhere will have to spend 10,000+ hours failing repeatedly before they can begin to capture the form and likeness onto a two-dimensional surface." And there was man. And it was good. And artists everywhere lost their minds.

I actually made a thread in the education section about recommendations but no replies yet, out of curiosity, anyone here studied in the UK or know anyone who has? any places to look for/avoid for fine art?

I think sometimes it depends on what type of edge you want. I like working low opacity and building it up and not necessarily with the same colour, but if I'm looking for a tight edge, upping the opacity helps.

if youre able to control pressure well while drawing use flow... if not use opacity.
there really are no dos and donts... use what works for what has to be done... hard edge > hardbrush/high opacity, soft edge > softbrush/low opacity. but since an edge can be softened with a hardbrush by applying an intermediate value, where softbrushes only work to a certain extent for sharpening edges, id rather practise hard ones. yet that might be personal preference.

Sounds to me like you don't have you tablet driver installed. 5% to 10% opacity? That would barely show up in my work. Set your brush to pen pressure and use a light hand to achieve the same effect without toggling your settings back and forth.
My digital illustration professor back in college explained that reduced opacity will create dark spots where two translucent areas overlap whereas reduced flow will create a uniform amount of color. Experiment and do what works best. There is no right answer.
December 22nd, 2011 #12
If you use low opacity it will encourage equivocality.
High opacity encourages statement.
Equivocality: mystery, occlusion, ambivalence, possibility, inference, unfoldment...
Statement: clarity, instruction, finality, solution, non-ambiguity, arrival, resolution...
They are the two conditions forming a dialectic.
Excusivity of either gives you the cloud on one hand or the cartoon on the other.

Delay of equipment at ports threatens stable power
Undue delay of power equipment imported for the construction of power facilities at the ports is threatening the Federal Government's aspiration to achieve stable power supply in the country.
The members of Electricity Power Foundation, a coalition of firms handling the several projects under the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPP), have cried out over the development.
The group said if the current development is left unchecked, the efforts of the Federal Government to achieve stable power supply in the nearest future may remain a mirage. They said the equipment imported for power projects cannot easily be cleared at ports.
Chairman of Electricity Power Foundation, Mr Otis Anyaeji, who spoke in Lagos, said the major hurdle to the completion of the NIPP projects include the delay in clearing power equipment at the ports.
Anyaeji, who is also the Chairman/Chief executive Officer, O.T. Otis Engineering, said several government agencies were working at cross purpose at the ports to the detriment of the government's efforts to see power projects completed on schedule. He urged immediate intervention by the appropriate authorities.
"Government should intervene to get these agencies to work as one. They should be made to see that the projects belong to all Nigerians with government only acting as a facilitator.
"They should realise that if the work is well completed, the equipment bought with public fund will benefit all," he said.
Another hurdle to the realisation of stable power supply according to Anyaeji, who said he would present the contractors' position at the WorldStage electricity power conference on 29th of this month, is inadequate gas supply to power stations. He said the issue of gas had to do with not having appropriate commercial price and gas producers not ready to invest. For instance, he said while the country is experiencing acute power shortage, some projects are ready but cannot come on stream because of lack of gas. He said the 500MW Olorunsogo phase two, 450MW Sapele and 561MW Calabar projects are ready, but there no gas to run them, while some that are also at the stage of commissioning would face gas supply challenge.
He said government should step up discussion with gas producers to realise the aspirations of the gas master plan agenda.
Anyaeji noted that the inability of some transmission and distribution systems to receive available power supply also constitute major obstacle to the achieving stable power supply.
He said: "The Ministry of Power should step into transmission and distribution challenges, get them ready in project locations to receive power generated.
Despite the challenges, Anyaeji said he expects remarkable improvement in power supply this year through NIPP projects, with the commissioning of 120MVA sub-station at Oworonsoki and additional 120MVA at Ojo, both in Lagos, at well as others to come.
On the implications of the planned privatisation of the power sector, Anyaeji said the lethargy of un-businesslike in the electricity sector will be a thing of the past.
