MUMBAI, India, Aug. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Groupe Athena, Inc. (Pink Sheets: GATA) announced on August 15, 2011 they have approximately $60 million in customer orders that they are currently processing, and they are expecting this number to increase in the near term. Based on the orders in hand the company expects to be able to convert at least two thirds or approximately $40 million into revenue during the current fiscal year.
The company also stated that due to the recent capital investments in equipment and facilities which has increased their ability to perform more services in-house, they will to be able to increase net profit margins on future revenues by 1.5-2%. To clarify this projection the company issued the following example:
Approximate current hourly rate for outsourcing of tests: $1,750
Approximate In-house hourly rate for same process: $3-400
Based on this scenario the company expects to reduce these costs up to 80% over current levels.
The resulting savings to net earnings would have added several hundred thousand dollars to fiscal 2011 net earnings and will have a positive impact on any future earnings.
The company is on track to report revenue of $12,000,000 for the current quarter, which would be more than the first and second quarters combined of the previous fiscal year and well in line with their expectations for the current fiscal year.
The company is still committed to funding all capital expenditures entirely from internal cash accruals without any further dilution or debt increases.
As was previously stated, the Indian pharmaceutical industry is increasingly focusing on exports to the United States and GATA is well positioned to help them get their products approved by the FDA for sales in the US. All of these are potential clients and the Company believes it has an adv

Frank A. Waugh Papers, 1896-1983.
Call no.: FS 088
Born in Wisconsin but raised and educated in Kansas, Frank Waugh got his first teaching job at Oklahoma State University. He went on to teach at the University of Vermont and finally settled down in Amherst, as a professor at Massachusetts Agricultural College. While at Mass Aggie, he became well know for establishing the second landscape gardening department in the country, later the department of landscape architecture. At a time when the field of landscape architecture was still taking root, Waugh's influence was significant in shaping the profession. His contributions include numerous articles and books, the designs he planned and implemented, and the many students he taught and mentored. A natural offshoot of his work as a landscape architect, Waugh pursued other artistic avenues as well, most notably photography and etching. He served at MAC, later Massachusetts State College, for nearly forty years before retiring in 1939.
The collection includes an extensive representation of Waugh's published articles along with biographical materials. The centerpiece, however, is the large number of photographs, lantern slides, and etchings. While his publications reveal the mind of a pioneer in his field, together these images portray the heart and soul of Waugh as an artist.

Weiner, Tom M.
Tom Weiner Oral History Collection, 2004-2008.
Call no.: MS 729
Growing up in Elmont, Long Island and Teaneck, New Jersey, Tom Weiner attended Trinity College before facing the draft in 1971. After failing the physical and mental examination, Weiner studied alternative education in England, Europe, and Israel on a Watson Fellowship. Upon his return in 1972, he began study at NYU law school, but soon left the city for Northampton, Massachusetts. A life-long social justice activist, Weiner has worked as a sixth grade teacher for the past twenty-five years.
With a lottery number of 117, Tom Weiner knew for certain that he would be drafted immediately upon graduation from Trinity College. Decades later, Weiner was inspired to collect the stories of the men and women who came of age during the Vietnam War era. This collection consists of the oral history interviews, recordings and transcripts, Weiner collected, thirty of which appear in his book Called to Serve: Stories of Men and Women Confronted by the Vietnam War Draft.

Wendell (Mass.). Treasurer
Wendell (Mass.). Treasurer Account book, 1794-1864.
Call no.: MS 090
A sparsely populated rural community in eastern Franklin County, Massachusetts, the town of Wendell was incorporated in 1781, when it was separated from parts of the adjacent towns of Shutesbury and Erving. Primarily a farming community throughout its history, with only light manufacturing, Wendell remains one of the state's least populous communities.
Kept in standard double column format, the Wendell Treasurer's account book was approved and settled annually by the town selectmen. Although accounting practices varied, the treasurers of the mid-nineteenth century typically provided somewhat greater detail in detailing income and expenditures. Prominent among the signatories are Judge Joshua Green and the Treasurers Samuel Brewer, George W. Fleming, and Franklin Howe (and other members of the Howe family).

Wheeler, Truman, Jr.
Truman Wheeler, Jr., Account Book, 1813-1833.
Call no.: MS 036 bd
Truman Wheeler, Jr., of Great Barrington, Mass., is considerably more obscure than his father, a prominent merchant, but in the two decades after the War of 1812, he made his living raising and selling rye, oats, and corn, tending sheep, and operating a substantial cider mill.
Wheeler Jr.'s account book records an array of fairly typical transactions in a non-cash economy, in which goods (grain, cider, barrels, food) or services (rental of the cider mill, lodging, labor) of one sort were exchanged for another. The frequency and scale of his cidering operation, and his rental of his cider mill when not used, is a distinguishing feature of his account book, which includes accounts with members of the Burghardt, Ives, Tucker, Warner, Wheeler, Willcox, and other families, as well as with Jack Negro, to whom Wheeler sold grain, pork, and brandy in exchange for assistance in haying.

If Hostess Brands Inc. goes out of business, 182 workers are expected to lose their jobs in Wisconsin.
Hostess has at least nine retail bakery outlets in the state, including stores in Brookfield, De Pere, Eau Claire, Greenfield, La Crosse, Madison, Oshkosh, Sheboygan and Wausau.
Last May, Hostess sent the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development notice that more than 180 employees might lose their jobs because the company had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Hostess told state officials in a letter: "Our primary focus is to complete our restructuring of the company and emerge from Chapter 11 as a viable company. However, it is possible that, despite our best efforts, certain events may occur that would require Hostess to sell all or portions of its business and/or wind down its operations and liquidate."
It now appears liquidation will occur.
Hostess spokesman Erik Halvorson said Friday that the company has 182 employees in Wisconsin.
Some of the Wisconsin employees are represented by labor unions, according to Hostess' letter to the state.
With Hostess poised to close permanently, some consumers fond of the sweet treats and bakery decided to stock up while they still could on Friday.
Brad Balge of Waterford was among those who headed to the Hostess Bakery Thriftshop in Greenfield.
"As soon as I heard that they were completely done, figured go one last time," said Balge, who bought some Twinkies, muffins and other bakery.
Most of the well-known treats were gone by the time he got there.
"Snack cakes, things that, you know, we grew up on, those are all gone," Balge said.

MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (12/12/2012) The National Science Foundation (NSF) announced that it will award an $720,000 grant to the University of Minnesota to lead an international, multi-university virtual institute for the study of Earth-surface systems, with a special emphasis on watersheds and deltas.
Linked Institutions for Future Earth (LIFE) is a new collaborative network of leading international research institutions, facilities and field sites working together on research related to predicting and understanding the impacts of climatic and human stresses on the landscape. LIFE seeks to produce research that informs policymakers and practitioners, while cultivating effective researcher exchange and mentoring, and generating innovative international public engagement toward landscape sustainability.
The project is funded through NSF's Science Across Virtual Institutes (SAVI), a mechanism to advance scientific understanding and excellence through the collaboration of scientists, engineers and educators across continents, cultures and disciplines.
Faculty members from the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory (SAFL) in the University of Minnesota's College of Science and Engineering, including Efi Foufoula-Georgiou (civil engineering), Chris Paola (earth sciences) and Vaughan Voller (civil engineering), will serve as the lead researchers of the project. Foufoula-Georgiou is also a resident fellow of the university's Institute on the Environment.
"Building upon the 10-year success of the NSF-funded National Center for Earth-surface Dynamics (NCED), this new virtual institute represents a significant step toward a broader understanding of the natural and human-induced changes that impact watersheds and deltas around the world," said LIFE lead researcher Efi Foufoula-Georgiou. "LIFE seeks to empower the next generation of Earth-system scientists, engineers and educators with depth, breadth and a global perspective on environmental su

Hey guys I haven't put any pictures up for ages and since I only get lessons every now and then, I only have myself to ride with.
I am hoping I have improved and I know I still have a lot of room for improvement. I have been trying to focus on not leaning forward and keeping my legs under me. I noticed after looking at these pictures that I really need to focus on not pointing my toes out and I have to try to stretch my heels down though I have great difficulty getting them down more then what they are these pictures.
Thanks for any critique on my horse and myself.

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Vontae Davis is not very smart, there is just no way around it. Tweeting about your friend and the Kansas City Chiefs potentially tampering is one thing. Yes, it's bad, but it's not nearly as bad as trying to claim that you were hacked after the fact. "Hackers" don't go around on Twitter and get into NFL players accounts to try and get teams in trouble for tampering. If they did, there would be far more tweets like this. To make things worse for Vontae, enough people were tweeting at Miami Dolphins CB Sean Smith about the incident that he got on Twitter to make a statement. Ok this is getting out of hand, I've never talked to any other team besides the Miami Dolphins. Yes I talked to vontae and I told him Al Harris (our former coach) got the job up in KC and that I talked to him a few days ago to tell him congrats. That's it! Now why he interpreted that as "talking to KC" idk but there is NOTHING going on! This is ridiculous Smart choice by Smith to...

27 year old man | Humble, TX, USA | Seeking women 20-27 in Houston, Texas, United States
I'm not complicated. I hope that doesn't sound boring.
I moved to Houston in August for my first teaching job. I am originally from California, but for the past six years I lived in Minnesota and Chicago. Still, Houston is very different from anywhere I have lived before and I have not had much of an opportunity to explore or meet people. I am also not in the habit of meeting people online, but I figure I might as well give it a shot. I'm not quite sure what I should say about myself, but here I go: I'll be the first to admit that I am an introvert. That doesn't mean I lock myself in my apartment all evening and try to avoid human contact...ok that happens once in a while. For the most part it just means I am not a raging partier. I don't have a huge crowd of friends, but the friends I have are very close and very important to me. I don't mind occasionally going out and throwing caution to the wind, it isn't my normal routine. I enjoy working out and staying healthy. I run, lift weights, and I practice Jiu Jitsu (submission grappling). I have done martial arts and combat sports since I was very young. It is something I have always loved. My main hobby is music. I have been playing guitar and singing since I was in high school. I used to play live frequently back in California to supplement my meager substitute teacher income, but I mostly do it for catharsis. I'll leave it up to you to judge whether or not I'm any good. I am also a food fanatic. I love trying new foods and I also enjoy cooking. It is extremely therapeutic. I joined this site to look for friends, and perhaps something more. I'm not going into this with any expectations. Mostly I want to meet some good people and have a good time. The most important trait I look for in people is honesty. Above all else, I like people who are genuine and kind. I know that sounds cliche, but for me thats just how it is. Other personality traits can vary. In fact, I prefer it that way. I can't imagine how boring my life would be if I limited my friend circle to only certain types of people. So there it is! Hit me up if you want to meet!
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games
Martial arts, Running, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Don't display my sign
I like Dogs
Middle of the Road
Truthfully I haven't done much exploring in Houston yet. I'm new to the city and I spend a great deal of time working.
Movies/TV Shows: Seinfeld, Batman Begins, Rocky, Breaking Bad Music: Neil Young, Weezer, Coheed & Cambria, The Dear Hunter, Porcupine Tree, Elliott Smith, Foods: Anything and everything
In the little free time I get, I like to write and play music, grab a few drinks with friends, try foods I've never had before, and watch movies. Mostly, I spend my weekends relaxing and recovering from the long workweek.
I recently read "6 Years" by Harlan Coben. It was a mystery novel. Since most of the reading I do is for work, when I choose to read in my free time I pick books purely for entertainment.

L'impatto dello sportello unico per le attività produttive sulla natalità d'impresa: una valutazione quasi-sperimentale
The relevance of entrepreneurship in economic growth and job creation is well recognised. Administrative burdens on start-up are generally considered one of the main barriers to entrepreneurial activity. The establishment, in Italy, of one-stop shops has determined a remarkable decrease of time, complexity and costs to start a new firm. In this paper we propose an evaluation of the impact of one-stop shops on business start-up rate, and ultimately on local development, comparing the performance of two samples of municipalities: a group of units that adopted the policy by the early 1999, and a control group that did not adopt it at all. Following Heckman, Rosenbaum and Rubin, the measurement is founded on a quasi-experimental method that uses a pair matching scheme based, among other things, on geographical proximity and economic specialization. To minimize the selection bias we adopt a double difference criterion. The proposed statistic is a weighted mean difference test, based on a regression approach. We prove that this methodology is robust against covariation of residuals among the units of analysis. We find that the double difference between the two sample performances - an increase of about 0,8% of the start-up rate on a sample average of 11,4% - strongly supports the evidence of a positive impact of the one-stop shops policy for the whole economy. This conclusion is shown to be robust to controls for crowding-out effect, except for the manufacturing sector.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Billy CorriherThe National Weather Service is predicting that Clayton County will experience its first freezing temperatures tonight, but local transportation officials have been preparing for winter weather for a month. Department of Transportation Engineer Buddy Gratton, who oversees the DOT's metro Atlanta area, said his employees began stocking road clearing materials and training their employees to de-ice state highways and interstates in October. The metro Atlanta district, which already has the highest traffic density in the state, experiences much more accidents in inclement weather, particularly on bridges and overpasses, Gratton said. Wayne Patterson, director of Clayton County Transportation and Development, said his team has been following its own late-fall routine, which includes testing inclement weather equipment and stocking chemicals like salt and chloride. Patterson said his department, which is in charge of clearing all county roads, has a particularly hard time clearing roads when drivers attempt to drive despite bad road conditions. "If it's bad enough that you have people sliding and ending up in ditches. It really creates a hardship for us," he said. "Then we have to split our forces to help people who are stuck." One steep hill on Lake Harbin Road is notorious for being difficult to drive on in bad weather, Patterson said. DOT spokesman Mark McKinnon said his department usually tries to keep drivers off the road completely by getting the word out to the public early before most commuters begin their drive. "We really encourage people to stay off the road when there's a snow or ice event," he said. If bad weather occurs while commuters are at work and have to leave, it can be an even more frustrating disruption of traffic. "If it happens during the day, that can be a real headache going home," McKinnon said. But Gratton said that if snow, or more likely ice in Georgia, hits the area, commuters can probably count on a longer drive no matter what the DOT does. "Certainly, it always takes people a lot longer to get home when there's ice on the road," Gratton said.

LINCOLN, Neb. -- One option for minimizing the impact of a future flood is to raise an entire house up and hopefully out of harm's way.
Simply put the process is known as elevation. Nationwide, scores of home and business owners have done it. The upfront costs can represent a sizeable investment. The good news is that the dividends of elevating can meet or exceed damage costs from one event alone.
Elevation means raising a structure so that the lowest floor is at or above the base flood elevation – the minimum level at which a flood has a one percent chance of occurring in any year. A new foundation is put under the elevated structure and stairs or landings that are built to provide access to the main floor.
When a structure is properly elevated, the living area will be above all but the most severe floods.
To decide whether elevating a structure is a good idea, consider these factors:
What is the risk of another flood impacting the structure? Properties in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), commonly referred to as a 100-year floodplain, usually have a greater chance than others of being impacted. The term 100-year flood really means that there is a one percent chance of a flood occurring in any year. A 500-year flood has a 0.2 percent chance of happening in any year.
What kind of flooding could impact the structure? Take into account the potential water depth, the velocity of floodwaters (how fast they move affects the damage potential) and the frequency of flooding in the area.
What level of protection is needed? Should the elevation protect against a one percent flood, a 0.2 percent flood or some other level?
How long might floodwaters remain before receding? The longer the exposure, the greater the damage.
How would floating debris impact the structure?
Once these questions are answered, check with local building authorities to find out what is required or allowable by local or state codes and ordinances. This answer will determine in large part what can and cannot be done.
Next, check with a few qualified contractors who have done this type of work before to determine what is involved in elevating an existing structure, or building a new, elevated structure and the associated costs.
In some areas, local ordinances may require that a structure be elevated if it has sustained substantial damage (50 percent of the building's pre-flood market value) from any cause, or if substantial improvements costing 50 percent of a building's market value are going to be made. Local officials will determine whether a structure fits either of these categories.
Elevating a structure can have the following benefits:
- The structure is compliant with a community's local floodplain ordinance which enables residents to purchase flood insurance.
- The flood risk to a building and its contents is reduced, thereby eliminating the need to move vulnerable items above the water during flooding or losing contents altogether.
- Flood insurance premiums are reduced.
An additional benefit is that the existing lot often is adequate in size, enabling an elevation to occur without having to purchase additional land — a factor that may be required to accomplish other types of mitigation.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) offers a free publication, "Above the Flood: Elevating Your Flood-Prone House" (Pub# 347), that explains how to elevate a house. To get a copy go online to / and download an electronic version, or order a hard copy by calling 800-480-2520.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sus...

Things You Can Find Ammo In
Video games have taught me that you can crack just about anything open and find either bullets or zenny in them.

Use Crowbar on Crate.
He won't be using it!
Take the clip, leave the piece.
Sheva! There's rifle ammo in these tomatoes! I hate African food!
I usually keep my Rupees, arrows, and magical potions in vases.
I grew plants in my locker. Some people keep minigun ammo in their locker. Who is worse for society?
Of course this eight legged freak has 92FS ammo and 15 bucks on him.
Good old survivalists always have shells just sitting everywhere in their rural rape shacks.
These have a habit of shooting out of enemies and rejuvenating your magic power.
Generally, it seems ammo can float and look like a picture of a gun. And then when you acquire it, the gun spins around.
Except for the Polish military. You'll only find horses and pikes in there.
He has the MG, of course he has extra clips to give to anyone. Sometimes he just throws down a big box and if you stand near it, ammo appears in your inventory!
When the ship gets taken over by horrible space zombies, its a good thing that you can find ammo in just about every section of the ship.
Who threw this out?
Goddamn, I love the postal service.
Good thing they have bullets on this planet of crazy hive minded bug fuckers.
What are you buying? What are you selling?
You should always clean out your pants pockets before doing the washing.
This is what heavy drinking does to a person.
Rations, too!
Someone put a quiver-full of arrows in this bush. Along with Rupees. And ... human hearts...
I guess they took the skin off the dog in order to get the grenades inside.
They even had these in the wild west.

Print File for me too - but I like an option that many folks do not use - I use the page that has 6 strips of 6 each, which avoids the issue mentioned by albada. I also make "contact" sheets by placing 3 strips side by side in a 4x5 holder, making a print that has 9 images about wallet size. Then shift the strips and print the other half, so 4 prints for a 36 exposure roll (and you don't have that extra 36th frame hanging out). BTW, I believe Reinhold (last - or first, name escapes), an APUG member sells a device for this, or used to).
The only thing is that they don't fit in a normal letter size binder, but Print File makes them for this. It's a nice system.

Originally written on Fox Soccer | Last updated 2/20/13
Bastian Schweinsteiger helped Bayern Munich edge towards the Champions League quarter-finals but warned the job is not yet complete. Tuesday night's 3-1 win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium means Bayern have a handsome advantage ahead of the home leg on March 13. After receiving his third booking in this season's competition, midfielder Schweinsteiger will be suspended when Arsenal visit the Allianz Arena. That means the Germans will be without a star man, but goals from Toni Kroos, Thomas Muller and Mario Mandzukic have put Bayern in control of the tie. Schweinsteiger appreciates that, but says there can be no slacking at this stage. "We really got going well, especially in the first 30 minutes, when we let the ball and our opponents do the work," Schweinsteiger said. "We were ruthless, especially in terms of taking our chances, but the third goal was vital too." He said on Bayern's official website: "We mustn't underestimate Arsenal, they have some very good players, an...

From Our Editors
For dozens of years, the Chinese have practiced acupuncture, a healing method that corrects imbalances by stimulating specific points on the body that help energy, or qi, to flow smoothly. During most visits, nurses measure your qi pressure, which is similar to measuring your blood pressure except that inflatable thing is placed around your soul. After the procedure, the nurse removes the needles from your body and you're left with the perfect utensil set for bite-size cheese cubes. David Tucker at The Zen of Healing knows acupuncture. It?s what he does. His oldest patient is 354 years old.

My mother used to tell me stories the circumstances her parents faced when they first emigrated from Italy. Signs on buildings stated, "Italians not allowed". Job postings contained the added words, "Italians need not apply". So when I moved to Barrow and heard stories from friends there about the days, not that long past, when Natives and dogs were both banned from certain establishments, I thought I had a frame of reference that allowed me to understand their pain. But I didn't, not really.
I'm not sure anyone can have a true frame of reference for what Alaska Natives faced in the "bad old days" unless they too have been judged by the color of their skin or the slant of their eyes while the content of the mind and soul were totally discounted. It left scars on Alaska's Native people, just as discrimination left scars on so many other people deemed different in America.
AFN works hard to bring Alaska Natives a far distance from those days. It gives them a political voice and the strength that comes with numbers. After Senator Lisa won her write in campaign against Joe Miller in large part because of the solid block of Alaska Native votes she received, it's hard to conceive of anyone doubting their clout.
Yet in the same week that AFN was once again drawing Native groups from across the state to celebrate their cultures, their spirituality, their dancing, their arts and, perhaps most importantly, their determination to never be viewed as second class citizens again, we heard about a plea deal to give a woman one year in jail for killing a Native man as he walked down the street late at night.
When I first saw the headline that said this deal had been reached in the hit and run death of Hubert Tunuchuk from Chefornak, I thought of how the agreementseemed to merely re-enforce the concept of Alaska Native life as somehow just a little cheaper than non-native life. Because given the circumstances of the crime, I think there would have probably been quite a hue and cry if this agreement had been announced in the death of a non-native.
I know nothing about Ashley Bashore. She looks like a fairly nice young lady. She was texting while driving in the dark early morning hours of Easter Sunday a year ago. When she hit "something", she not only didn't stop to see what she'd hit, she continued texting. And even if she honestly thought it was a dog she'd hit, something I quite frankly find hard to believe given how many dogs I've ever seen on the Tudor Road overpass, what kind of person doesn't stop and try to help. Any living creature deserves better than to be left to bleed and die alone on the side of the road.
Yes, she was only 19 and probably panicked. But she was calm enough to continue to text. And 19 is not a child. At 19 you should have some sense of responsibility, some sense of the value of life, some sense that there are things in this world more important than you are. So to my mind, the judge was very right to reject a plea deal that belittled the life that was taken.
The picture in the paper of Hubert's mother hugging Ashley's mother after the judge rejected the plea is heartbreaking. Both have experienced terrible loss. The difference is that Ashley will eventually go home to her mother. Hubert's mother will never hold him again. It is a tribute to the strength of Native women that she could reach out to Ashley's mother at a time when the justice system of this state was about to diminish the tragedy of her son's death. It is entirely in keeping with my experience of so many Alaska Native women I've been privileged to know.
AFN was in full progress here in Anchorage when this case came before the judge who rejected the plea deal. It seems serendipitous timing. His ruling reaffirmed that Native life is as valuable and sacred as non-Native life. His ruling held at bay a justice system that would belittle Chefornak's loss. He acknowledged that the dignity and worth of life cuts across all cultural lines.
Good for him.

Diet Tips for Digestive Health
Here are some simple changes that can improve your diet and help relieve constipation:
- Add veggies. You don't have to count grams of fiber to get the recommended amount. Instead, aim to eat 2 cups of fruit and 2 ½ cups of vegetables every day. Make sandwiches with roasted veggies, add a salad instead of fries to your meal, buy pre-cut vegetables to snack on with low-fat dip, keep the fruit bowl full for a handy and healthy snack, and add chopped, dried fruit to oatmeal and cereal.
- Go for grains. Replace white bread, white rice, and regular pasta with whole-grain bread and whole-wheat pasta and brown rice. Eat more whole oats, multi-grain cereals, and whole-wheat crackers -- just be sure to choose low-fat and low-sugar options. Snack on air-popped popcorn instead of chips. When buying cereal, choose brands that have at least 5 grams of fiber per serving.
- Bulk up on beans. Replace meat with a bean or legume dish at least once or twice a week. Add cooked beans to salads, and try bean soups and stews as main course meals.
- Add fiber gradually. Make changes slowly over the course of a week or so -- increasing fiber too quickly can cause bloating and gas. Be patient -- it may take time for your body to adjust.
- Consider a fiber supplement. If you have trouble getting enough fiber in your diet, consider a fiber supplement such as Citrucel, FiberCon, and Metamucil. Also called bulk-forming laxatives, fiber supplements are generally safe and non-habit forming. Just be sure to talk with your doctor before using them as they can interfere with some medications.
- Stay hydrated. If you add more fiber to your diet either with food or supplements, be sure to drink more fluids to aid digestion. Aim for about 8 glasses a day. Choose low or no-calorie beverages -- drinking sugary soda and fruit drinks will add extra calories you don't need.

There aren't standard threads on many of the shutters. I did try my Tessar cells but they wouldn't fit my particular Ibsor, they came in a 1931 Compur and also fit a modern Copal 1.
Sometimes pre-war 135mm & 150mm 9x12 lenses in good shutters sell for very reasonable prices $20-$30, or you can find 9x12 cameras incomplete but with a good working lens/shutter for about the same. I'll let you know if I see one.
The ground glass holders are quite simple, about the only thing that can need repairing is the fabric or the glass. I've jus had to replace the fabric on pre Anniversary Speed Graphic. Glass is very easy to replace but again they aren't standard so you'll have to measure the old one / and the sppace it fits in.
Grinding a new glass screen is quite quick and easy according to many people, and there are plenty of examples of how to make your own on the internet, you need to do a search of Apug as well. I have some Agfa glass plates that are ideal so I stripped off the emulsion, now they need cutting to size and grinding - I want to try for myself even though I'll buy GVB screens.

Weekly sketchbook log
About three weeks ago I reached a conclusion. That conclusion was that I have been a terrible slacker when it came to my artwork. Four nearly seven years I've had dreams about working in the industry as a conceptual artist and character designer. I even went to the Academy of Art Univeristy in San Francisco to study the subject.
But It has recently come to light that even while I was there I didn't take my studies as seriously as I should have. Now almost four years later I'm finding that I stuggle with nearly every subject that I should have learned, including figure drawing, color theory, composition, rendering..... ah hell, the list just goes on.
The bottom line is that as I'm loosing faith in my abelities as an artist, which is the most rottan feeling in the world. Worst part about it is that I'm the one to blame for it all. Now all I can do is go back and restudy all that I should already grasped by now.
And so with that all in mind, I decided to start posting pages from my sketch book to get some outside opinions. I honestly don't know how much this will help me in the long run, but at the same time I just can't bring myself to just give up on being an artist.

Well, I can't comment on what it takes to get into the industry, but I can say I like your line work and style. The profile shot of the man reading the book is great!
I'm sure those way better than me can give you helpful advice, but all I can say is never never never give up!

Well, here we are at post number 2. I've pretty much had my nose burried in my sketch book for the past week, hanging out at the cafe's and the library, drawing anyone around me. I'd like to think that I've been improving at least as far as faces are conearned. I'll probably be posting more frequently just to keep my thread from being pushed down to the bottom of the page before anyone has time to view it.
I've included four sketch pages.
1. portrait of girl from cafe
2. head and face studies
3. still-life studies of coffee cup
4. self portrait
I know it's asking a lot, but I realy could use a few more replies this time around. I'm not looking for praise or an online pat on the back, just a few honest pointers and comments as to what works and what dosn't work.
Honesty folks, it's all I'm after here.

Hey, some good stuff here. But I really recommend that you update more often. If you really want to get good than you have to do more of them and post them here.
Some of the coffe mug ellipses arent exactly right, but I think you know how to do them right, just needs practise. The portrait looks good, shading is nice and the hair of the beard turned out well. But do you really have such a sharp edge at your browline?

Why do American women think "All men are creeps"?
Hi, I am international student studying in the US. It's funny how a lot of women in the US think "all men are creeps." I was watching a reality TV... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Check this heavily-answered question about creepiness (in particularly the post by bobair):
I don't think this has much to do with feminism as it has to do with just people in general being sensitive, fearful, paranoid, suspicious, etc. particularly women. Read or watch the news and we see shootings, stabbings, abductions, rape, assault, etc. and in addition most of these are committed by men.
The funny thing is I can't really blame women for thinking the way they think. Also for some women, the term creepy or creep is more of an umbrella term that includes any guy that gives unwanted attention. For example, "That creepy guy just said 'Hi' to me!", an exaggeration but nonetheless true. Think about it from a women's POV that any guy she sees could be a potential murder, kidnappist, rapist, etc. and then you'll understand why, even more so with a child (men too).
Its kind of sad that people can't have conversations with each other without being so suspicious; and to further complicate the situation, without being suspicious of signs of attraction: is that guy hitting on me? is she sending me signs?
My final question to all:
Clubs and bars (and some parties to a degree) are generally for hookups and if people can't look for significant others in public places then where are we to look? Or shall we just "wait for it to happen"?
My answer:
The waiting game doesn't work for everyone and with actively meeting people you increase your chances of finding someone. And I'd really rather not wait as I'm a go-getter :p Now a friendship can turn into a serious relationship and a serious relationship can turn into a friendship but the former involves removing yourself from the sandtrap that is the friend zone (longer you wait the harder it is to get out - clever analogy haha) and the latter does not actually result in a serious relationship. You'd only want to be in the friend-zone if you really wanted to be friends or because you weren't sure of what you wanted - so why go through the friendship when you already know what you want?
So what will I do personally? This is my strategy: I do my best to avoid women that are not interested, go after the obviously interested ones - of course how to tell if someone's attracted is where it gets tricky *sigh*. Well I do what I can and make it obvious without being offensive - lots of but not too much eye contact and smiling (should come natural if you like the person), and especially obvious conversational hinting - need both visual and verbal cues; as a guy, no physical cues unless she initiates. IMO, for guys a direct verbal cue is the most effective way but this does not work for women (you know what I'm talking about). I only try to pursue so many times at which point, move on. I won't chase girls because 1)I like women and 2)it might come off creepy. Some women might get "cr
Some women might get "creeped" out (my apologies ladies) but with enough luck hopefully I can find someone and save myself some pain and them some grief. If you've got better suggestions I'm all ears.
- Show Older Hide Older
Just based on this fact and American history it's a wonder how we get anything done (many thanks to the founding fathers) but because of people's different backgrounds and people's nature to distrust anything different/new it makes building a strong sense of unity difficult on all levels. At the same time America was built with the principle of individualism. Finally, although slavery is done with, it left a big impact on how we are today. Fortunately it's slowly changing.
Having dealt with the past, today, we're just a lot more sensitive - lawsuits, etc. Essentially we have a way to get almost anything we want, tangible and intangible. I guess with this greater freedom and power, there's more potential of stepping on someone else's shoes. With your question, women tend to be the victims thus naturally more suspicious than men. More suspicious women will use the term more loosely and vice versa. Don't take it personally unless you really are a creep.
What Girls Said 1
Yes. It is considered weird/creepy/whatever to randomly walk up to a woman and start conversing with her at a library or grocery store or whatever, while it is socially acceptable to socialize in a place specifically designated for socializing. I don't really think that this has anything to do with feminism, because it's also considered unusual for guys to come up and randomly start talking to guys that they don't know, and, while slightly less so, it is considered odd if a woman randomly starts talking to a woman she has never met before. I think that there has just been a general increase in fear of strangers over the past few decades, for some reason.
Ya it is considered weird to walk up to a random girl and start talking to her. It can also be very awkward for both. If I saw a girl who was my perfect match or my type of girl, I would absolutely regret it if I didn't at least try to talk to her...
Indeed this is the case in Anglo-Saxon countries, but not in my country (the Philippines). People in the Philippines are much more friendly than Americans.

Women are becoming increasingly venal and only the few who drive Porsches are not creeps now to many of them. I'm afraid it's not more complicated than that
I think you can be very correct. Most American women to my knowledge do not like a man for who he is, but for what he makes.
Asker--can you send me a private message so we can be friends?
I don't have an answer for you but just wondering where are you from and what is the attitude among women there?
Well I'm from the Philippines and women there are generally much more friendly than American women. They don't have this American 'bitch shield' around them, well most of them. I mean, in general, people are more friendly in the Philippines than in America.
Have an opinion?
