Everything in life must be balanced
Well, let's see....for starters, my faith is the most important thing about me. That is, our Lord Jesus Christ. For without His grace and love, I wouldn't be here today. His hand has always been in my life whether I knew it or not. I came a long ways to realize and accept this truth, His truth. He defies everything in me now and I can never escape His truth. But I am far from religious. Okay, now a little about myself. I am Korean but originally from Brazil. I was born in South America of all places and have been in the states since I was 10, although I have gone back a few times to Brazil through out the years to visit family and friends. I guess that explains my fluency in Portuguese. I can also speak Korean but my main language is English since I use it the most, although I can be Brazilianized when I am in Brazil and can hold my Korean as well. Growing up in 3 completely different cultures has made my personality unique in its own right. Sometimes I feel like there are 3 individuals within me lol when I am in "that" state of mind I suppose. There are positive and negative aspects to all this as well. For instance, I am a very open minded individual because I HAD to be. I had variety in my life which in turn, gave me a greater insight to "differences" in people. I didn't just think outside the box, I lived outside the box my entire life. But at the same time, because I was all over the place, I never felt at "home." How could I ? I was a product of my own environment. I always could fit in wherever I was because of the "variety" background, but I also never could stick in one place since I needed that "variety" in my life, if this even makes any sense. Fast foward today. Life is more simple now because I have grown to accept things as they are. The things I can't change, has made me a better person and the things I have power over, I try my best to do things right. I'll say this much though. I once had it all. A fast life. An exciting life. I was the king of my own domain once. Been there done that. I had the mindset of, " 2nd place is the 1st loser," mentality. I partied like a rockstar, came from a well off family. Truly had it all. Until one day, God intervened and took it all away. (I know, it sounds weird, but even going through it all at the time I didn't understand it either). My life flipped 360 degrees and I found myself alone. Through this loneliness, life took me through a whole new journey of anger, despair, sadness, emptiness, confusion and darkness. And only going through this misery was I able to fully understand true joy, peace and what matters. Before, I had everything on the outside, but foolishness inside. Now, I am not much on the outside, but rich inside. Yes, I made mistakes, many. I had my chances, many. I had my glory, many. I lost a lot, much. But I also was given much. And all of it was used for 1 single purpose. To see outside of myself to a greater purpose which lies in the glory of God through His people in the name of Jesus Christ our savior and Lord. Now, all I ask should I deserve is someone who I can connect mentality, faithfully, physically and peacefully. (If you are Korean or Brazilian, that's A plus since I have more in common culturally with em, but not to say compatibility is based on that alone, far from it. It is just a preference but I am not ignorant to the individual either, I always look at you first before anything else.) And last but not least, I am a very confident person, and it shows when I talk about my flaws and what-not. I don't mind being judged after you see the whole me, but until then, it does turn me off when someone judges me by some small part of me because you lack to see the bigger picture. All in all, my wisdom and my sense of humor prevails over anything else about my character. "Rejoice in your suffering, for it produces perseverance and then character which brings hope

First Self Portrait
Hi All!
I've finally gotten back to drawing ever since I stopped in 1995 during my senior year in high school. I haven't had any formal training, so I'm basically starting from the ground up. I started reading "Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain" over Thanksgiving to give me a start, so hopefully it will teach me something.
Anywayz, here is my self portrait. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to improve my skills thus far? BTW, I already spotted one problem, the eyes are jacked up, so I'll have to fix that on the next self portrait I do.

well, as far as comics... (from a fanboy)
hi. i know nothin about nothing. and i don't even know what kind of companies you mean. but i do know a little bit about comics, from a reader-perspective, and i know that there are currently a number of very talented folks from the balkans dominating the american comics market, and they've been a presence for a while, particularly some folks from croatia, which i believe is very close to you.
in particular, writer darko maccan, the late artist edvic biukovic, the currently hot igor kordey and daniel zezelj, all were balkans, and all have been able to do very well for themselves. so if they could do it i'm sure you could do. i read a forward to a grendel book that maccan wrote in which the editor said he had gotten a submission from him from croatia and had been dealing with him over the phone.
also, there's currently an influx of south american comics artists in the american field, who work from south america and have limited english-language experience/work with translators. the most notable of them, in my opinion, would be eduardo risso, the artist on DC 100 Bullets and other titles. he is fantastic and you'd never know the guy doesn't speak english.
any of their websites would be good to visit for info, and maybe contacting them and asking them for tips/advice would be cool, too. as would the darkhorse.com message baords, where some professionals and editors hang out. (they've dealt with maccan and others.)
anyway, don't know if that was helpful. good luck. peace.

I bought this product because my amp didn't come with a level knob. I like to change things up on the fly so i bought this product. Universal and just down right one of the key components of my audio system. If you have an older amp then this is a must buy if you don't have a level jack.

White Sox: Jose Abreu proving eager to learn English
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Jose Abreu's goal is to eventually speak for himself.
Speaking English is one of many goals the Cuban first baseman has established as he assimilates to a new culture in his first season for the White Sox. In the interim, Abreu has all the tools he needs at his disposal with translators and Spanish-speaking teammates. But Abreu has already begun to take online courses to speed up the process. The White Sox will further assist Abreu once he arrives in Chicago, but they aren't surprised to see the slugger take on big task after task.
"It's another example of him trying to do everything in his power to ease this transition into a new league," general manager Rick Hahn said. "Obviously we have the ability to communicate with him in Spanish and coach him in Spanish, but 90 percent of the materials he receives are in English. I believe it's another indication he ultimately wants to get to a point where he's just another player playing in Major League Baseball. He has a lot to bite off here so it's going to take some time. But he's eager to do everything in his power for the transition."
[MORE: Nate Jones ready to put injury in rearview mirror]
If Abreu were a minor-leaguer in the White Sox organization, he would be required to attend classes during spring training and the regular season to not only properly learn English, but to brush up on Spanish as well.
But because Abreu comes in on a major-league contract the White Sox don't have the same level of control. They can't require him to attend classes.
Grace Guerrero Zwit — the team's senior director of minor-league operations who facilitates English instruction — doesn't believe that will be an issue. If Abreu comes as advertised she has a tutor ready to work with him.
"Abreu seems anxious to learn," Zwit said. "He really wants to learn English. So if he's going to embrace this I have a person in mind that I will recommend to him once he gets here. They have to work out the schedule because of the travel if he's willing to put the time in and then force himself during the season."
Lino Diaz, the team's manager of cultural development, has worked closely with Abreu since the team opened camp several weeks ago. A member of the coaching staff, Diaz translates for Abreu with reporters and other coaches. Diaz said his job is to "provide (Abreu) with the right information." Part of that communication includes a Spanish-to-English pamphlet Diaz created for Abreu based on the baseball terminology the team uses.
[RELATED: Adam Dunn predicts Oscars for 'Dallas Buyers Club']
But Diaz knows how hard Abreu has worked with Rosetta Stone and wonders how long he'll be needed.
"He brings everything to the table," Diaz said. "He takes all the credit for what he does. He's right on it."
The White Sox aren't surprised by Abreu's go-getter attitude.
He has displayed it repeatedly the past four months in preparing physically and mentally for the season. It's what they expected from him based on scouting reports.
But Hahn wants Abreu to know they don't think this will happen overnight, that he needs to avoid burning himself out.
Not that it's a bad problem to have.
"He wants to show early on what we saw in him was merited," Hahn said. "But we have told him time and again this is an extended relationship. We're not looking to justify anything in April. You'd certainly prefer a guy you may have to pull back a little as opposed to one you need to spur into action and Jose has been extremely diligent."
Abreu was asked about English when he first addressed reporters in camp. He didn't shy away from his plans even though the transition could take some time. Though it was through a translator, Abreu made it clear he eventually strives to speak for himself.
"I'm dedicating part of the day and learning English," Abreu said. "One day when I learn how to do it I'll be giving an interview in English."

Jurassic Park 3
From Wikiquote
Jurassic Park III is a 2001 film that is the third film in the Jurassic Park film series. Dr. Alan Grant travels back to Isla Sorna, bribed by two supposedly wealthy investors who have lost their son on the island.
Dr. Alan Grant[edit]
- You do not understand. On this island, there is no such thing as safe!
- (about Velociraptors) All our theories about raptor intelligence, what they were capable of, we weren't even close! They were smart. They were smarter than dolphins or whales. They were even smarter than primates!
- (after Billy said he stole raptor eggs "with the best intentions") With the best intentions!? Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the 'best intentions.' You know, as far as I'm concerned, you're no better than the people who built this place.
- (Finding a dinosaur carcass) It's okay, it's dead. (T. rex raises it's head from behind the dead dinosaur) Nobody move a muscle! (T. rex roars and everyone besides Grant runs away)
- God bless you, Ellie.
- (after the entire audience raises their hands with questions) Does anyone have any questions not relating to Jurassic Park? (several audience members lower their hands) Or the incident in San Diego, which I did not witness. (The entire audience except one person lowers their hands)
- (in answer to a question whether palaeontology is relevant given the living dinosaurs on Isla Sorna) Dinosaurs lived sixty five million years ago. What is left of them is fossilised in the rocks, and it is in the rock that real scientists make real discoveries! What John Hammond and InGen did at Jurassic Park is create genetically engineered theme park monsters! Nothing more and nothing less. [...] No force on earth or heaven could get me on that island.
Eric Kirby[edit]
- (about Ellie Sattler) Wow! You have to thank her now. She sent the Navy and the Marines!
Paul Kirby[edit]
- Let's go home.
- Billy: Alan, I wanted to thank you bringing me along on this.
- Dr. Alan Grant: Yeah, well the bones will still be there when we get back; that's the great thing about bones, they never run away. And the truth is...[sotto voce] You got me into this, and I have no intention of being on my own with these people!
- Paul Kirby: [hearing distant roar] What was that?
- Billy: That's a Tyrannosaurus?
- Dr. Alan Grant: I don't think so. It sounds bigger.
- Amanda Kirby: [about the abandoned laboratory] Is this how you make dinosaurs?
- Dr. Alan Grant: No. This is how you play God.
- Eric Kirby: I read both your books. I liked your first one more, before you were on the island. You liked dinosaurs back then.
- Dr. Alan Grant: Back then they hadn't tried to eat me yet!
- "[Paul and Amanda explain they are in the Island to rescue their son Eric]"
- Paul Kirby: We called everyone; we did everything we could. No one would help us. The Costa Rican Government says this is a no-fly zone; the US Embassy, that's our US Embassy, told us we should accept the inevitable. Can you believe that?!
- Billy: You let a twelve-year old go parasailing alone?
- Paul, Amanda: No!
- Amanda Kirby: He was with a friend.
- Paul Kirby: Ben Hilldebrand.
- Amanda Kirby: Paul and I divorced about a year ago.
- Dr. Alan Grant: Alright, so why me?
- Paul Kirby: He told me he needed someone who's been on the island before.
- Udesky: Yes, but I did not tell you to kidnap someone.
- Dr. Alan Grant: I have never been on this island!
- Paul Kirby: Sure you have. You wrote that book.
- Billy: That was Isla Nublar. This is Isla Sorna, Site B.
- Udesky: You mean that there are two islands with dinosaurs on them?
- Paul and Amanda Kirby : All right, you just stay out of this!
- Dr. Alan Grant: So, how long have they been missing?
- Paul Kirby: Eight weeks.
- Amanda Kirby: Almost eight weeks now. [An awkward pause]
- Dr. Alan Grant: Billy, we'll go back to the plane and salvage what we can. Then we make for the coast.
- Paul Kirby: Dr. Grant, we're not leaving this island without our son.
- Dr. Alan Grant: Then you can go look for him, or you can stay with us as long as you don't hold us up. Either way, you probably won't get off this island alive. [Alan and Billy head off]
- Paul Kirby: So what do we do?
- Udesky: Well, we search for your son...in the direction they're going.
- [After Billy photographs a Spinosaurus Footprint]
- Dr. Alan Grant: How would you classify it, Billy?
- Billy: Obviously a super-predator. Suchomimus, that snout.
- Dr. Alan Grant: No, think bigger.
- Billy: Baryonx?
- Dr. Alan Grant: Not with that sail. Spinosaurus aegypticus.
- Billy: I don't remember that on InGen's list.
- Dr. Alan Grant: That's because it wasn't on their list. And it makes you wonder what else they were up to.
- Billy: [noticing Paul struggling with getting his backpack on] So Mr. Kirby, when you climbed K-2, did you base camp at 25 or 30,000 feet?
- Paul Kirby: [hesitatingly] 30,000 feet. We were pretty close to the top.
- Billy: Yea, you were about 1,000 feet above it, actually.
- Paul Kirby: No, no, no. That's a common mistake
- Dr. Alan Grant: Mr. Kirby, there's no such thing as Kirby Enterprises, is there?
- Paul Kirby: It's Kirby's Paint and Tile Plus. The "Plus" stands for bathroom fixtures; we're in the Lakewood Shopping Center in Enid, Oklahoma.
- Billy: So I suppose that check you wrote us is no good.
- Paul Kirby: No, I will pay you the money!
- Dr. Alan Grant: This is good! Here we are on the worst place on earth, and we're not even getting paid!
- Paul Kirby: OK, look, if you ever need to do a kitchen or bathroom...
- Dr. Alan Grant: This is T. rex... pee?
- Eric Kirby nods
- Dr. Alan Grant: How'd you get it?
- Eric Kirby: You don't wanna know.
- Paul Kirby: [to Amanda] We're going to find him. He's very ingenious. Remember what it was like to try and ground him?
- Dr. Alan Grant: [pausing] Where's Billy?
- [goes back to the raptor nest and sees Billy messing with his "lucky" bag]
- Dr. Alan Grant: What are you doing?!
- Billy: I was photographing the nest.
- Dr. Alan Grant: Don't do that again!
- Billy: Sorry.
- Dr. Alan Grant: If I lose you, it's just me and the @#!*% tourists.
- Billy: I rescued your hat.
- Dr. Alan Grant: (jokingly) Well, that's the important thing.
- Amanda Kirby: [after watching Pteranodons fly away from the island] I dare them to nest in ... Oklahoma!
- Paul Kirby: [looking lovingly at Amanda] Let's go home.

Paleontologists on the film[edit]
- "Even 'Jurassic Park III' tried to jump on the avian-dino bandwagon by making a brave attempt to adorn Velociraptor with a feathery hair-piece. (The result looked like a roadrunner's toupee- don't blame the effects-artists; it's notoriously difficult to render feathers in computer graphics animation, so we'll have to wait for 'JP IV' for a more thoroughly rendered avian pelage.)"

sometimes i get those drawing flashes.. i just sit in front of my pc/tv and *BLAM*.. i just have to draw something, these flashes even come with a cool idea what to draw most of the time..
or sometimes i look at the work of some of my favourite artists and suddenly i get the urge to draw something..
probably because i feel lazy, just looking at their stuff, not doing anything myself.
edit: oh and music of course...

Nacho - yeah i know what you mean. You see a flash of something in your head and you frantically try and get it down on paper before it disappears. hehe and then theres those times you get all of your best ideas at 2am while working on homework, just so you can have something to keep you distracted.
yes yes....*sigh* and definately the ladies clay
I also tend find alot of inspiration from some pretty mundane stuff. Here is savannah about half of the buildings in town are ancient and falling apart. You see some of the most amazing textures around, everything seems very authentic in a way.
Also being in art school here is great. Theres alot of creative energy in the air to feed off of. Thats another reason im glad i got involved with this board as well...alot of enthusiasm.

John F. Kennedy: Signed Profiles in Courage. Senator John F. Kennedy's writing of Profiles in Courage and his winning the Pulitzer Prize certainly did a lot to burnish his reputation. During its first year in circulation, JFK narrowly missed obtaining the Democratic nomination for Vice President. The work later was the basis for a television program highlighting some of the people "profiled" in the book. This is a first edition with the original dust jacket. The front endpaper is inscribed: "To Lois-- with the affectionate regards of her old boss-- John Kennedy". The recipient is identified as Lois G. Aykroyd who worked for Kennedy as a secretary on his senatorial staff (and later as Jacqueline Kennedy's personal secretary). The book itself has very minor shelf wear. There are some light areas of discoloration on the endpaper, but none of it affects the inscription or autograph.

Weirdest thing happened on my beautiful DC245 in Vintage yellow. Was playing the guitar after leaving in the case for a couple of weeks. Noticed that a small piece of finish came off on the bass side of the heel. Weird!!!
I couldn't find the missing chip anywhere near the case.
What do you guys think?

White: UFC worth 3.5 billion, some say more
Using the oldest trick in the journalistÆs book, I drop into the conversation a figure of $1bn, which was what the New York Times estimated the business was worth a couple of years ago. Is that number still correct?
White chews on a slab of mozzarella taken from his second starter and says nothing at all. Then he whispers, ō$3.5bn. Some would say more.ö
I ask how he reached that number and he replies, mysteriously, ōWe have numbers. You know what I mean?ö
Yet in the US his critics claim growth has stalled, with fewer fans tuning in to watch fights. Two of the biggest champions ¢ Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva ¢ are not currently fighting.
ōIÆve been listening to people tell me that we weÆre going to fail for 13 years," said White. "The media is full of s---. The company grows bigger every year.ö
Both those stars are coming back, he insists, and reels off a list of other fighters. And itÆs not just men, women now fight too. ōHave you heard of Ronda Rousey?ö he asks.
ōSheÆs a rock star, man,ö he says. ōThe women are different than the men ¢ way more emotional. TheyÆre a lot more catty. IÆve been trying to figure out women my whole life and now IÆm trying to figure them out on a different level.ö
Though fans love him, they donÆt do so uncritically. He got a lot of stick last year when Georges St-Pierre, face mashed up and barely making sense after a fight, said on TV that he needed a break. At a press conference, White said the champion couldnÆt have one. When I ask if he regrets being so unfeeling, he shrugs.
ōThat wasnÆt about what you thought it was about. HereÆs the bottom line; IÆm never going to be the good guy, no matter what I do or what I say. I run a company with 500 of the baddest dudes in the world and I am the boss.ö
Are bad dudes harder to manage than the norm?
ōNah. TheyÆve got smaller egos than journalists. They are smart guys. And some of them are smarter than me!ö
I laugh, thinking heÆs made a self-deprecating joke but then, seeing his expression, stop at once.
Our talk shifts to the future and I ask if the Fertitta brothers might one day sell up.
ōMaybe,ö he says, which isnÆt the answer IÆd expected. ōAt the end of the day weÆre all young guys.ö But for now the three of them love working together. Their secret? ōNo ego. People donÆt believe that about me but IÆm completely ego-free.ö
As this is not the popular view of White, I ask him to explain. ō
ōIÆll tell you this. How many times do you think IÆve been offered to write a book? Big money. Three million. One time I sat down and I said, æIÆm going to do it.Æ But I got so f---ing sick of talking about myself, by day two, I was done.ö

Capital Ideas
Abu Dhabi is making a number of potentially transformative investments
The relation between Abu Dhabi and Dubai is neatly illustrated by the traffic on the 10-lane highway between the two cities. The north-bound lanes were once jammed with cars chasing business in Dubai, the U.A.E.'s business hub. Now traffic is heavier in the direction of the country's capital.
Journal Report
- See the complete Gulf-U.A.E. report .
- WSJ.com/Mideast: News, video, graphics
Not so long ago Abu Dhabi was a desert town in which business visitors struggled to find a decent hotel to stay. But when senior executives—including Eric Schmidt, chairman and chief executive of Google Inc., Rupert Murdoch, chairman and managing director of News Corp., and Maurice Lévy, chief executive of French advertising giant Publicis—were in town earlier this month for the Abu Dhabi Media Summit, they could choose from seven hotels on one island alone: the partly man-made Yas Island, which was developed in roughly a year and hosted the conference.
Abu Dhabi, slightly smaller than Ireland by land mass, is the U.A.E.'s largest emirate and holds the world's six-largest crude-oil reserves. The capital city, one of around 200 islands within the emirate's territory, is the seat of the country's federal government.
Over the next five years, the government plans to build a semiconductor factory, the world's largest aluminum smelter, and the only branch of the Louvre museum outside France. These projects—part of a multibillion-dollar development drive—are aimed at boosting gross domestic product by five times and tripling non-oil GDP by 2030.
"If Abu Dhabi can consistently achieve a certain ratio of oil to non-oil growth, it should be able to fully turn around its GDP structure by 2030," says Nasser Al Sowaidi, chairman of the Department of Economic Development, the government body driving the emirate's economic overhaul.
The aim is to boost the share of non-oil activity in the economy to 60% of GDP from 40% today and have enough non-oil exports to balance imports in 20 years. This will require the creation and promotion of new or nascent economic sectors, including manufacturing, renewable energy, aerospace and media.
Already, the capital has become a regular destination for international business heads and political leaders. In two separate trips over the past year, Timothy Geithner, the U.S. Treasury secretary, and his deputy visited Abu Dhabi to meet with representatives from its sovereign wealth fund—the region's largest—and other U.A.E. officials. Last May, President Nicolas Sarkozy opened a military base in the country, France's first in the Gulf.
Abu Dhabi is seemingly making up for lost time since the death of its ruler—the U.A.E.'s founding father—Sheik Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan in 2004. His son and successor, Sheik Khalifa, surprised many observers with his modern approach, introducing limited elections to the Federal National Council, the nation's quasi-parliament and handing a great deal of power to his half-brother, Sheik Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan.
Sheik Mohammed, now the crown prince, spearheads the "Economic Vision 2030" plan to provide better education, training and jobs for the emirate's youthful population. Abu Dhabi expects to spend an official estimate of between $100 billion and $300 billion over the next 10 years to build industries, and the infrastructure to support them, mostly from scratch.
"Our vision is to build a sustainable, diversified economy that encourages enterprises and entrepreneurship and that is well-integrated in the global economy, leading to better opportunities for all," says Mr. Al Sowaidi.
Partnerships with New York University and Paris-Sorbonne University have brought satellite campuses to the capital. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is the research and education partner of Masdar, the government's green energy and clean-technology project. In the latest tie-up, MIT and Abu Dhabi's Advanced Technology Investment Co. will offer a master's degree in Microsystems. Atic plans to build a semiconductor fabrication plant, which will create 30,000 jobs in the emirate.
The Abu Dhabi Tatween Council, tasked with finding more jobs for locals in the private sector, has begun to address unemployment, saying 10,000 people are now registered as job-seekers in the emirate, though this is likely to be just a fraction of the total. More young women are working in the government's firms than ever before. The development of the emirate's oil-and-gas-rich western region could also create new jobs. That plan is still being drafted.
Some projects—including the semiconductors fabrication plant and Masdar's carbon-neutral city—are risky. Masdar is having more trouble than expected attracting partners to the project because of the difficult economic climate. But the government continues to bet on technology, highlighting the semiconductors industry as a key area of focus in a new—as yet unreleased—five-year plan.
This strategy document may include revisions to economic targets announced two years ago, including a target of compounded annual GDP growth of 7% a year through 2015.
Officials say Abu Dhabi is on track to meet the diversification targets it set for 2014. But they are wary of setting benchmarks for economic growth now that the region has succumbed to the global recession.
"We're starting to lower our own growth targets—not because we don't think we can meet them—but because we don't want those numbers out there, floating constantly, as benchmarks," says one official.
