Everything I do is perfectly functional Jeff. And it looks bitchin'.
But yes things work in the realms of reality. Except one technological breakthrough can break plenty of the bindings of that reality. In the same way people never thought flight was possible, or even something like electricity was remotely feasible. Suddenly a new material is created and it changes the very laws of nature as we know them, or a metal that is as thin as a straw is developed that can hold tons.
Things should feel fairly functional enough to believe it's possible since with any concept it needs to feel real enough. But when people compare too much to our reality it bugs me with things like "That wouldn't be able to support that structure, or that little thing could never power something that large". Since our reality is ever expanding and the impossible becomes possible all the time.

"Black Spot
But will it also scratch your itchy balls?"
Doing that with a giant metal claw is a nerve-wracking prospect.

I agree. I think when characters in movies treat what we think as crazy technological miracles with a sort of everyday meh-ness, like the Mr Fusion or the Bladerunner Spinner or the Starship Enterprise, that adds a lot of believablility to it. Like, theyre reaction shows that to them this is nothing special, just as we do with giant skyscrapers or the Panama canal or the moon landings. Miracles become commonplace quickly.

I mean, don't get me wrong, that trailer looks awesome, and I'm aware that my criticisms of it are going into the realms of pettiness.
As for itching powder. That would be an unfortunate case of psychological warfare. Especially if you do end up snipping your balls off with your force in the power of ten... I would make sure to install something to counter it. Like tiny tasers to remove the itchiness with minuscule electrical shocks.

Portfolio - The most fun of them all.
Well, seeing as we're on the topic... I've never quite been able to make sense of power armour.
It's like, if I take one of countless stereotypical designs of power armour as an example, it lacks the agility of an infantryman and the speed of a tank. It can't get in small places or hide in foxholes, so it's a very big target. It can't carry enough supplies to remain self-sufficient for a few days without resupply, or carry the firepower of a tank. Even the heaviest tanks of today are very vulnerable to man-portable weapons. Imagine what it'd be like with much lighter protection to enable a man to move inside it. A lot of tanks have low turret profiles precisely to avoid the problem of silhouetting themselves on the horizon and all that, so what do all those mech designers do? Make them so tall that you can see them from miles away and shoot them dead before they even realise you're there.
It's all good fun, though, and I've been a fan of giant robots smashing each other to pieces since I first found out about Battletech and Mechwarrior. As petty as it probably appears, it is very interesting to me analysing some of these designs. My opinion is that if you can make a cool and visually interesting design for a film or something, then the audience will probably think, "hey, that looks cool," for a few minutes, then promptly forget about it when the next piece of flashy FX comes up. If you can make one that also looks like it could really work and function in reality, then people will remember it for a long time.
As for toilet needs in an armoured suit, I guess they'd do what they do in tanks or aircraft in battle, which is just wet yourself.
Because a tank or a helicopter gunship would almost always batter a mech suit, some series build in ways to rationalise their use. Like say radar has become terminally jammed preventing accurate ballistic or guided missile strikes, and so hand to hand combat mechs are sort of believable.
Or like in Evangelion, where really theyre part of a complex conspiracy and not really giant robots at all.
There are loads of reasons why mechas dont work.
Theyre too tall, theyre easy to disable with a single shot, theyre very easy to hit with bullets or missiles, they consume too much energy, the bearings in their legs need to be made of impossible strong materials, their waste heat would melt them and anyhthing near them, theyre not as useful as tanks in battle, theyre too complex, theyd find it difficult to shoot heavily recoiling ballistic guns while moving, or at all,
Mecha as practical war machines
Too many words about why mechas are stupid
Other applications i can think armoured suits are or might be useful might be in bomb disposal, deep sea operations, dangerous animal husbandry, metal smelting, space industry.

The above why mechas are stupid is what bugs me. Why are people talking about cooling, power, supporting weight, the bearings. Once again. Future/different universe/planet sometimes. Different new metal or power source suddenly changes all the possibilities. The size and being a target could be an issue, I agree. I always viewed a mech as an all around vehicle in design, many utilities. Why give something hands? Because look at all the shit a human hand can do. Then it's designed in a humanoid form for familiarity and simplicity.
Also disagree a bit with why a mecha would carry a rifle or such instead of attaching it to the suit directly. If a robot has everything directly attached to the suit then you can't change weapons on the fly, you have to customize every weapon to match the robot while if it has a trigger and a handle the mech can use it. You run out of ammo with your big shoulder cannons that are mounted to your suit? Eject it but good luck getting another one on in the heat of a battle. Run out of ammo with your rifle? Go grab another one in a few seconds off a fallen ally or even enemy. The hand getting chopped off makes it useless in that arm, but it's the same as if any robot had it's gun hit/chopped of. You could always do what something like Gundam does and do both. Have mounted and unmounted weapons.
Mechs aren't remotely feasible for us. We have nowhere near the tech or even environment to ever need it. Ever. If we're doing mechs it's going to be tiny mech suits to help soldiers wield weapons they normally couldn't carry across terrain something like a tank or something with wheels might not go.
Aaron Beck does some of the most believable, frankly frightening battle mechs Ive seen.
Think Big Dog plus 25 years of technical development...
stuff like the spider silk armour, missle pods, sensor systems and whisker sensors is bang on.

Mechs are pretty played out as far as I'm concerned. The stories were like Soap Operas with killer robots. Nobody was ever concerned about the populated cities that constantly got leveled in the crossfire either. But I gotta admit they did make some bad ass dog fights.
Just as an apropos to the big dog: here's a "bipedal version", the petman
edit: i seem to have forgotten the youtube link coding thing
I like mech series that are political like the older gundams. Occasionally like the over the top series for the fun of it.

Still have limited shots and once your out your out. Though the argument is for a hit and run vehicle like a plane and not a mech.
Though there's no way to defend hypotheticals.
We don't even have the tech for sophisticated hands for people yet (as far as I know) that reacts the same as a human hand.
We don't have the tech or the need for the tech.
But yeah not going much further in this topic lol

This thread grew a bit more than I had anticipated. It's really interesting to hear everyone's opinions.
I contacted my lecturer and I think I have a green light to explore "functionality in concept design" for my Honours year come autumn
Blog - Check it out. It's fun.
Sketchbook - I should really update more often.
Portfolio - The most fun of them all.
as always, form follows function.
only in this instance the function is to communicate, rather to perform physical operations.
re. Mass Effect, ive not played but people do say its the best science fiction entertainment around. the concept art for that android isnt particularly interesting though; it looks like a scaled down Mass Production Evangelion.
i had in mind bushrobots or utility fog.

The need for realism goes out the window when you realize:
a. The general public either doesn't care or doesn't realize. It's also not a medical diagram so doesn't need to be real.
b. Space-marines/Mechs are not real either, but that is irrelevant - it's entertainment, not NASA.
A design does not need to be realistic or functional. You just need to sell that it is.
If I care and realize, then that's enough for me to try harder (ignoring my previous post about clueless bosses, sometimes you just can't win).
"I eat comics and poop stylization"
♞Sketchbook (Critiques, no compliments please.)
It's not necessarily about real world functionality, it's the suspention of disbelief. Like checkout the series of sky boats ian mcque has been cranking out lately. There is no actual technology to back it up, but it's believable and most importantly I want to play with them.
Check out this Gavin Rothery piece. It looks like it will toppel over when the rockets fire, but it's forgivable, because most importantly it reads from an extreme distance. Aside from that it appears to be totally functional.
I love this one because it's the worst design in the best possible way. I'd love to see something like this in a game. It would be a challenge on it's own.
Here is a page from Doug Chiang's "Mechanika" book, which I certainly recommend.
Since design can be subjective, it is hard to know whether a design is strong and successful. Over the years I have come up with some simple tests to help me determine this. Keep in mind these aren't strict rules; they're merely guidelines. There will be exceptions.
Design for iconic shapes. Always think in terms of strong silhouettes before focusing on the fine details. Squinting your eyes occasionally will help you concentrate on this. Remember, details embellish the overall design but don't determine it.
With iconic shapes in mind, create designs that can be understood in three seconds or less. The three-second rule evolved out of my film experience. Often audiences have less than three seconds to understand what they are viewing before the shot changes, so it is essential to keep the design clear. For example, if it's a vehicle, the viewer must be able to determine quickly where the pilot sits, in which direction the vehicle is going, its purpose, etc. These things may sound simple, but they are often neglected. Always strive to keep the overall form easy to understand.
Ask yourself: Is the design powerful? Weak? Menacing? Are those traits reflected in the design? When personality is infused into your designs, the end result is more effective.
Would the design work? You must have an idea how your design would function. Confirm functionality before moving on to the next question.
Is it plausible? Does it look as if it can perform the function that you designed it to? Ths is the believability test. This doesn't mean that every joint and hinge needs to be figured out in great detail, but a basic appearance of practical function is essential.
This one is very subjective and a bonus if it can be achieved. This is the emotional difference between a sports car and a commuter car. Both vehicles are made for transport and both have the same basic configuration, but one addresses its purpose with much greater flair. Do the same in your designs.
Lastly, just for fun, I want to post this gun from the final episode of ReBoot Season 1. Even when I was about ten years old, I thought, "What an absurd gun! How could she hold that up!?" But at the same time I took that imaginary gun and used it whenever my friends and I were playing in the backyard pretending to be GI Joes or whatever, because giant guns = awesome.
My Sketchbook
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.

Yeeeaaaah, that one didn't occur to me until I was older..... >_>
Speaking of absurdly huge and impractical guns, here's another one wielded by Cable in one of the X-Men comics I have. This thing was so freaking front heavy that it needed that uber shoulder pad. Made me laugh when I first saw it. Even if the shoulder pad acted as a counter-weight, there's no way a person could hold that thing up. ...but then--it is Cable.

I gotta admit when I was Cable and the x-force was the raddest thing ever. Those Leifeild character designs had the "cool factor" in the early nineties. Guns with guns on the guns and swords with swords on them and pouches on spikes. I was like "why can't everybody be this bad ass all the time?"
Now is that stuff anymore distasteful than this Blizzard stuff.
The difference being Blizzard is the model of success in this trend cycle and dictates standards. Leifeld's work has a zeitgeist hangover and we only have to look at it for chuckles.

Overcoming Adversity
Nov. 3, 2012
If one looks up the definition of adversity in the dictionary it will read "a condition marked by misfortune." Ohio State running back Jordan Hall has learned the definition of adversity the hard way, by having to overcome it. Coming into the 2012 football season, Hall was the favorite to start at running back. The three-year letterwinner from Jeannette, Pa., ranks No. 25 all-time at Ohio State with more than 2,500 all-purpose yards for his career as a talented running back, receiver and return man. All of the expectations for Hall's senior season changed when he injured his foot in the off-season and needed surgery, which sidelined him throughout pre-season camp and the first three weeks of the season. However, in Hall's opinion, overcoming adversity only makes him stronger.

Birch plywood, pony skin, rubber mounts; 28 3/4 x 21 3/8 x 19 1/2 in. (73 x 54.3 x 49.5 cm)
Gift of Mr. and Mrs. I. Wistar Morris III, 1984 (1984.556)
Eames ® is a registered TRADEMARK of Herman Miller, Inc.
As prominent figures in the postwar Good Design movement, Charles and Ray Eames sought to create inexpensive, comfortable, and modern furniture that could be mass-produced, consistently using plywood in their prototypes. This LCW chair (Lounge Chair Wood) is the result of years of research and experimentation with molded plywood furniture. It is one of the most influential examples of postwar American design, and is still in production today. The chair is made of separate back, seat, and leg sections of molded plywood fastened together on a rubber shock-mounted spine, lending flexibility to the chair and making it more responsive to the human body. The lightweight, durable chair was originally produced in ash, oak, rosewood, and walnut plywoods. A small number of the early models, such as this one, featured pony skin on the back and seat panels.

November 25, 2015
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A Lexington restaurant was closed on Wednesday after the Fayette County Health Department gave them a 59 on their health inspection.
Yamamoto Japanese Grill & Sushi on Tiverton Way was temporarily closed on Wednesday after the Health Department finished their inspection of the restaurant.
According to the Fayette County Health Department the biggest issues were cleanliness and food handling.
"A lot of employee practice issues, gloving, food storage issues, thawing, how they're preparing the food," said Luke Mathis with Lexington Environmental Health.
The restaurant will remain closed until at least Tuesday when the Health Department will have a conference with the owners on what they need to do to get the restaurant back up to acceptable standards.
"I can only think of few other times that we would close an establishment due to score," Mathis said. "Most of the time it would be due to an eminent health hazard, it is unusual for an establishment to score this low."
Their prior health inspection was on December 12, 2012. They received a 99 at that inspection.

(Sorry for the inconvenience)
PC-BSD® 9.1 introduces a Bluetooth Manager in the system tray. This utility can be used to configure device pairing (authentication) and provides a graphical front-end to support FreeBSD's hcsecd(8)[1] daemon which controls the link keys and PIN codes which are used by Bluetooth pairing. FreeBSD supports all Bluetooth USB dongle devices that conform with Bluetooth specification v1.1. More information about FreeBSD's Bluetooth implementation can be found in the Bluetooth section of the FreeBSD Handbook[2].
To launch Bluetooth Manager, either click its icon in the system tray and select "Start Bluetooth Manager" or type pc-bluetoothmanager. If you plugin in a Bluetooth USB dongle device and click on the New Devices tab, it should be displayed as seen in the example in Figure 9.7a. If the device is not found, a message in the lower half of the screen will prompt you to put the device in discovery mode and then to rescan by clicking the Scan button.
Figure 9.7a: New Device Detected in Bluetooth Manager
If the device, such as a cell phone, requires a PIN key in order to access a service, use the Saved Devices tab to view and configure pairing. In the example shown in Figure 9.7b, the configurations for several devices have been saved.
Figure 9.7b: Configure Bluetooth Pairing
To configure a new pairing, highlight the device and click the Configure button.
Since the developers do not have access to every possible Bluetooth device, it is possible that your device will not be recognized. If this is the case, please take the time to send the details about the device to the testing mailing list[3] so that the developers can work with you to fix the issue.

Mary Jane Humphrey, 86, snuggles with Chauncey, a 7-year-old Bixhon Frise, during Chauncey's visit to Sterling House Senior Living Facility in Bloomington, Ind. Chauncey is a Paws for Friends, Inc. certified therapy dog owned by Cynthia Hogan and Sally Sare makes visits to the elderly in the area to brighten their day.
It is amazing what four legs, fur and a wagging tail can do for someone. They can conjure up memories, they can settle a restless heart, but mostly they bring unconditional love where ever they go.
During a recent visit to the Sterling House senior living facility in Bloomington, a four-legged furry friend named Chauncey did just that for a dozen or so of their residents.

Zelaya Arrives Near Honduran Border in Bid to Return
Ousted Honduran president Manuel Zelaya has arrived at a Nicaraguan town just south of the border from Honduras as he plans a second attempt to return home. The Honduran coup regime has threatened to arrest Zelaya if he sets foot in the country. Zelaya has urged soldiers to ignore orders and says he will try to enter as early as Saturday.
Iraqi PM: US Troops Could Stay Beyond 2011
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has suggested the US occupation of Iraq may continue beyond the 2011 deadline for withdrawing troops. Speaking in Washington, Maliki said US forces could stay on to provide "training and support."
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki: "Pursuant to the agreement, in 2011, the presence, the military presence of the Americans, will take end in Iraq. Nevertheless, if the Iraqi forces require further training and further support, we shall examine this then, at that time, based on the needs of Iraq. And I am sure that the prospects and the desire of such cooperation is found among both parties. Nevertheless, the nature of that relationship, the functions and the amount of forces will be then discussed and reexamined again."
US Held Talks with Iraqi Militants
In other Iraq news, details have been revealed on previously undisclosed talks between US officials and militant Iraqi groups earlier this year. Participants say State Department officials met with at least three insurgent representatives in Turkey in March and April. The militant leaders reportedly submitted four demands: a US apology for the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the release of all prisoners in US custody, a pledge for Iraq's reconstruction, and support for the militants' entry into Iraq's political mainstream. A third round of talks was planned for June but didn't occur.
UN Debates "Responsibility to Protect" Doctrine
The United Nations General Assembly has begun debate on a proposal to adopt the so-called Responsibility to Protect, which would allow nations to use force to prevent genocide and other crimes against vulnerable populations. In remarks before the assembly, former Australian foreign minister Gareth Evans said the doctrine's acceptance would help prevent genocide.
Gareth Evans: "The core theme is not intervention but protection. Look at each issue as it arises from the perspective of the victims, the men being killed or about to be killed, the women being or about to be raped, the children dying or about to die of starvation. Look at the responsibility in question as being, above all, a responsibility to prevent."
Critics of Responsibility to Protect have argued against expanding the grounds for using force beyond those authorized by the UN Charter, which backs military action only in cases of self-defense or under Security Council approval. UN General Assembly President Miguel D'Escoto Brockmann of Nicaragua said he fears the doctrine could be selectively used to justify Western military action against weaker states.
UN General Assembly President Miguel D'Escoto Brockmann: "Recent and painful memories related to the legacy of colonialism give developing countries strong reasons to fear that laudable motives can end up being misused, once more, to justify arbitrary and selective interventions against the weakest states."
Also speaking critically of the proposal, the linguist and political analyst Noam Chomsky gave the example of US-backed mass killings in Iraq and Gaza to illustrate the political uses of humanitarian intervention.
Noam Chomsky: "There was, of course, no thought of applying the principle to the Iraq sanctions administered by the Security Council, condemned as genocidal by the two directors of the Oil-for-Food program, the respected international diplomats Denis Halliday and Hans von Sponeck, both of whom resigned because of their genocidal character. There's no thought today of protection of the people of Gaza; that's another UN responsibility."
US Silent on Alleged Kyrgyz Vote Fraud
In Kyrgyzstan, international monitors are accusing President Kurmanbek Bakiyev of massive fraud in national elections. Partial results show Bakiyev ahead with 85 percent of the vote. But monitors with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe say the vote has been marred by several irregularities. As voting began, two main opposition candidates dropped out of the race in protest. One of the candidates, Jenishbek Nazaraliev, said the vote was a "fake."
Jenishbek Nazaraliev: "If you ask any Kyrgyz citizen or people from nearby countries, those who are able to think, they can clearly understand that these elections are being held for the sake of holding elections. They are fake and being conducted just for Bakiyev."
The Obama administration has been largely silent on alleged fraud and other abuses in Kyrgyzstan since the Kyrgyz government reversed the closure of a US military base last month. The base has been vital to the US occupation of Afghanistan.
Israel Bans "Nakba" References in School Textbooks
In Israel and the Occupied Territories, the Israeli government has announced the removal of the Palestinian term "nakba" from textbooks in Israeli schools. Palestinians refer to Israel's 1948 war of independence as the "nakba," or "catastrophe," since it caused the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes and left them without a state. References to the "nakba" in Israeli textbooks were first allowed only two years ago.
Report: 91% of Terror Cases Result in Convictions
Back in the United States, a new study says 91 percent of more than 200 terrorism cases tried in the US have resulted in convictions. The group Human Rights First says the figures bolster the argument for trying Guantanamo Bay prisoners on US soil, since convictions have been so easily won.
Dems: No Senate Healthcare Vote Before Recess
On Capitol Hill, Senate Democrats say they won't hold a vote on healthcare reform until after the summer recess. The widely expected move follows weeks of negotiations that have failed to unite Democrats around a cohesive plan.
Mayors, Legislators Among 40 Arrested in NJ Corruption Probe
In New Jersey, three mayors and two state legislators were among over forty people arrested Thursday in a sweeping corruption case. The suspects allegedly took part in a global money laundering scheme that trafficked in items including human organs and contraband goods. Several Jewish rabbis were also jailed for allegedly laundering tens of millions of dollars through charities linked to Israel. FBI agent Weysan Dun said the betrayal of public office is widespread.
FBI agent Weysan Dun: "The people that we have arrested today include mayors, deputy mayors, New Jersey state assemblymen, city councilmen, city council candidates, and a variety of other public officials ranging from commissioners to regulatory inspectors and, of course, a number of rabbis from the Jewish community. The list of people we arrested sounds like it should be the roster for a meeting of community leaders, but sadly, they weren't meeting in a boardroom this morning, they were in the FBI booking room."
Cambridge Police Won't Apologize for Gates Arrest
In Massachusetts, the Cambridge police officer who arrested the leading African American scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr., last week is refusing to apologize. Gates was detained in his home after he forced his way in to overcome a jammed front door. A neighbor had called police, thinking Gates was a robber. Gates reportedly presented his proof of residence and said, "This is what happens to black men in America." He was then handcuffed and taken into custody. Cambridge police have dropped a disorderly conduct charge, but the officer, Sergeant James Crowley, has rejected Gates's call for an apology. On Thursday, Crowley said that Gates had provoked him and that an apology would "never come." Gates, meanwhile, appeared on CNN, where he said the experience had sensitized him to the vulnerability of people of color to racial profiling.
Henry Louis Gates: "But what it made me realize was how vulnerable all black men are, how vulnerable all people of color are, and all poor people, to capricious forces like a rogue policeman. And this man clearly was a rogue policeman."
The Cambridge Police Department has backed Crowley's refusal to apologize and criticized President Obama for saying they had "acted stupidly." Obama responded Thursday in an interview with ABC News.
President Obama: "I have to say I am surprised by the controversy surrounding my statement, because I think it was a pretty straightforward commentary, that you probably don't need to handcuff a guy, a middle-aged man who uses a cane, who's in his own home."
Report: Abortion Providers "Routinely Targeted" in Six States
A new report says abortion providers have been "routinely targeted" in six states and require further government protection. The Center for Reproductive Rights says clinics and doctors in Mississippi, North Dakota, Missouri, Alabama, Pennsylvania, and Texas face worrying levels of harassment. Nationwide, the group says the number of physicians and clinics providing abortions has dropped 25 percent over the last decade. The study was completed before the May killing of the Kansas-based abortion provider Dr. George Tiller, whose clinic subsequently closed.
Ohio Proposal Would Bar Abortions Without Father's Consent
Meanwhile, in Ohio a Republican legislator has submitted a measure that would prevent abortions without the written consent of the biological father. If the father isn't known, the measure would force the woman to provide a list of people who could be the father in order to determine paternity. The group Feminists for Choice calls the proposal "another mechanism for demonizing and isolating women who have sex."
Consumer Group Criticizes Food Safety Picks
Consumer advocates are criticizing two recent choices for top food and agricultural positions. The Organic Consumers Association is calling for the resignation of Michael Taylor, a former Monsanto lobbyist who's been appointed senior food safety adviser to the Food and Drug Administration commissioner. The group says Taylor has pushed to weaken testing and labeling for genetically modified foods. It's also opposing President Obama's apparent choice for Under Secretary of Agriculture for Food Safety, Dennis Wolff, who's also been accused of trying to reduce the labeling of GMOs.
Ann Arbor News Publishes Final Edition
In media news, Michigan's Ann Arbor News has published its final edition. The newspaper has been replaced by the website AnnArbor.com and a newspaper that will come out only two days a week. The Ann Arbor News had been a daily newspaper for the past 174 years.
Goldman Repays Bailout Money
The investment bank Goldman Sachs has completed its repayment of federal bailout money. Goldman has paid back $1.1 billion to redeem warrants it granted the Treasury in return for taxpayer aid. The move follows Goldman's repayment of $10 billion last month, freeing itself from government restrictions on employee compensation.
Minimum Wage Rises to $7.25
And a rise in the minimum wage takes effect today, increasing to $7.25 an hour from $6.55 an hour. The Let Justice Roll Living Wage Campaign says today's rate is still lower than the 1956 minimum wage of $7.93 in real terms. The group is calling for a $10 minimum wage to surpass the highest level of purchasing power of $9.92 cents, adjusted for inflation, seen in 1968.

By Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan
On the night of Oct. 20, 2014, Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old African-American teenager in Chicago, was walking down the street when two police cruisers sped up to him. Officers jumped out, and at least one of them, Jason Van Dyke, began firing. Laquan fell to the ground, his final, painful moments caught on the dashboard video camera of a third police vehicle that had arrived just seconds before. Laquan spun as he was shot. Two bullets hit him in the back. As the video clearly shows, the bullets were pumped into him, evidenced by clouds of dust exploding off the pavement. This week, on the day the video was released to the public by court order, Officer Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder — 400 days after he killed Laquan McDonald.

Be Patient! Huge results!
By Kare
from Niagara Region
Yes this is different! Try it and be patient when mixing! Huge results. I keep in cool storage. Yes I have stopped and started because of time. I have auto delivery on this product for over three years. Great with Product Line. Notice difference with jaw line. I am aging gracefully and proud of it but why not feel good about yourself and have great skin. I feel and look younger! I do not want to look weird in my Fifties.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By Zeddra
from Toronto
Instructions didn't come with product - received as part of a Showstopper - and now I see on the TSC website that I was supposed to wait an hour and then shake it again. Interesting, as the first ampoule mixed as it was supposed to, even without my waiting an hour. But the second ampoule was just a mess of grainy particles no matter how much I shook it.Its watery texture also made it difficult to target any areas - so I decided to mix it with my other SKINN serums, both morning and night. The ampoules became part of my routine when "cocktailed," but it was difficult to know if they made a difference.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
too lumpy
By cosmetic junkie
from BC
I am a big fan of SKINN, but this product is lumpy. I followed the instructions and did not like the consistency so I only use it at night. I would not recommend this particular product but I do like most of this line.
not right
By Syl
from Ottawa
powder will not mix with liquid, therefore all you get is a clump of powder to spread on your face and yes i did shake it till the cows came home!

Delivers results, most recv'd foul/blk
By K.
from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
I received these ampoules as part of a showstopperon auto ship. Out of all the products, this one delivered the most visible results.PRODUCT WASN'T STABLEMost of the ampoules I received looked off colour and watery. When the top powder section was depressed to mix with fluid, the solution turned gray or black often with floating black specks that would fall to the bottom.If this product could be stabilized, I think it could be one of the lines best sellers.

Many experts, including my favorite blogging advocate, vouch for guest blogging because – if applied well – it is one hell of a marketing tool. The reason why you've never before heard of blojing is because the phrase doesn't exist beyond the remits of this post. It is borrowed from my imagination to represent the class of self-appointed 'experts' who guest blog joke. Blojing = Blogging + Joking? It does make sense now, right?
Guest blojjers are in it for the backlink, and not necessarily to inform. They are motivated by the link, and – most unfortunately – nothing else. And it is sad. Because it defiles the original purpose of guest blogging.
Any post, whether published on your blog or on a guest blog, must seek to educate or entertain your readers. It must address a particular problem. It must offer a solution. The backlink is just a token for all the toiling that goes into the making of a great guest post.
Go in guns-blazing for the backlink only, and you will end up with a guest bloj. Sad. Just sad.
So, are you guilty of the heinous crimes of blojing? Or, are you a dedicated guest blogger who gets volumes of traffic back to their website?
If you fall in the former category, here are a few tips to point you in the right direction.
Tip 1: Blog In Your Niche And About Your Favorite Topic
It is sad what most guest blojjers 'need' to go through just to pull off their ultimate guest blog. They will start off by identifying all but the right niches. And if that isn't bad enough, they will shoot themselves in the foot by writing on a topic they wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole.
Guest blojjers believe every popular blog is ripe for backlink harvesting. Wrong! This can only be true if the popular blog in question lives within the boundaries of your niche.
For instance, guest blojing on a Buddhism topic when your blog is all about selling Bibles (no pun intended) could be fatal (it will be fatal). You are better off guest blogging on a Christian blog network (where your target audience thrives).
If Google won't catch up with you based on the misplaced backlink, your new found audience (if any) will call out your blogging bluff soon enough.
So choose your guest blogging niches well, and go for topics that both you and your target audience will love.

Tip 2: Take Your Time And Prepare
Time is money and blah blah…but the greatest of follies is going in ill-prepared. Take time to put together a fabulous post. Remember, you want to deliver a solution that will in turn drive eyeballs to your website. You want your guest blog to be a home run.
You want the readers to cheer all the way to your blog. You want them wanting nothing more than clicking through to your website, if possible, even before reading the whole post.
You want to establish authority from the word go. And that takes time. But you're one foot through the door if you choose your topic well. If you're guest blogging within your niche, you will have all the firepower to hit bull's-eye in a matter of seconds.
Take time to prepare all the ammunition you will require. Because guest blogging is a fierce battle, and only the well-prepared survive. This means you have to be ready with supportive resources (preferably on your website) to back your guest blog.
Taking your time means also preparing your website well in advance. You need the audience, right? But what happens if they decide to check out your website and find total anarchy instead? They will 'skip' my friend. They will run for their eyes!
Take time to prepare your website. Guest blogging is just a marketing tool; it is going nowhere!
Tip 3: Reply To Comments Already!
It is no use writing the swiftest of blog posts if you won't engage your target audience in one-on-one conversations. That's why you have the comments section – to collect feedback and drive conversation. Not to gauge how saucy your post was. Feedback is the keyword.
Nothing says 'I'm not interested, go away' more than an inactive comment section. If your readers leave feedback, and you have no time to reply, they will assume you are not interested or you're too busy for them. And they will back off, and disappear into thin airternet. See what I did there? Airternet? Genius, right? Moving on.
Tip 4: Guest Blog Already!
One thing that kept me from guest blogging for sure was not insufficient knowledge or lack of opportunities, but my somewhat inherent inability to churn out my first guest blog.
I said somewhat inherent because the mind has a nasty trick that befalls us all. This nasty trick borrows heavily from fear of criticism and what nots.
The mind may trick you into believing that you aren't good enough as yet. That you're lacking in certain faculties. That those other experts out there were born that way; with their powers and all, and you are doomed since you weren't as privileged. This lie is often too strong it masks our ability to identify and utilize our strengths.
Trust me, you will never learn from fear or inaction. You will never learn from doing nada; naught; zilch! You will only fail if you do nothing. And you will fail miserably. So, get out your pen and paper (Ms-Word) and get drafting.
Draft your guest blogs and ship out the ideas. Let the editors who respond help you learn. That is the point; learning from everything, more so your failures. Don't be silly, the world will never revolve around you. Plus, there are no shortcuts; nothing good and worth having is served on a silver platter.
Tip 5: Learn And Learn Some More
I'm no expert, and I will never claim to be. What I am is a work in progress; I learn every new day. I change; I improve and build on my skills. I try my best not to get comfortable in the maligned belief that I finally made it to 'expertville'. Nope, that will never be my style.
For I'm of the notion that learning is a continuous process, just like the life we live. You can never really stop learning. Thus, you are ever a work in progress – a student of your chosen path in life.
Your today does determine your tomorrow, but only in a small way. You determine your tomorrow. So, if you want to become an expert guest blogger tomorrow, learn all you can today. I recommend this guy. Man, he is one hell of a guest blogging school all by himself.
So, if you are sick of being the guest blogging joke of all time, you will pick out what suits you from this post. If you own online properties and desire to learn more about creating effective web content (Hoot! Hoot! Now this is my area!), please check out my blog!

New Indie Horror Film - Witches Night
In the realm of horror, I have to say some of the the best looking horror films that are coming our way are either "Indie" or "Foreign" - and that's why I love my job, cause I would'nt of discovered half of these films we've been bringing you on my own.Witches Night looks to be one that we may have to keep our eye on my friends, plus it claims to be a throwback to the horror classics of the 70's - so it has to be good.. right?
Well, here's the synopsis of the film; Four guys. A long-delayed canoe trip. A beautiful, pristine forest. Lots of beer. Sounds like the perfect getaway weekend...until the crazy old woman appears on the riverbank. The guys stumble across a ritually mutilated buck. And they just can't seem to shake the feeling that they're being watched.
"Witches Night is a fun, smart horror film for adults. The film is a throwback to the horror classics of the 1970's, and features many of the same elements: well-rounded characters, titillating sexual scenarios, an indelible villain, and a plot that builds slowly and inexorably toward a deeply disturbing and unforgettable conclusion."
Any film that can use the words "titillating sexual scenarios" in a sentence has my attention. All those interested.. raise your hand (raises hand). Ok, you can put them down and now clickhere for the official site, and click here to watch the teaser trailer.

REP. MARUMOTO: Queen Lydia Liliuokalani School Should Not Be Closed
BY REP. BARBARA MARUMOTO - Because I believe in the value of small schools and small classes, I would oppose the closing of any school in the 19th House District on Oahu.
However, in the case of Queen Lydia Lili'uokalani School, history and tradition argues even more strongly against closure. It would indeed be ironic to shut its doors on the 100th school year since the Queen dedicated its opening.
I support the friends and families of Lili'uokalani who are protesting the recommendation of the Consolidation Report. I understand that the closing would save the State only $372,000 a year, and some parents even dispute that figure.
I ask the Board and the Department of Education (BOE) to carefully consider whether the cost savings are significant enough to close a school.
I ask the BOE and Department of Education (DOE) to weigh the effect on students who will bear the emotional burden of dislocation. If you insist on closure, consider giving the students sufficient time to adjust to the move.
Perhaps five years would help, but I still believe that the cost savings are too meager to end this beloved institution in Kaimuki Town.

Did you know that the strength of the sun's UV rays increases as the elevation increases? If you live or vacation in high altitudes, you need to be especially careful about using sunblock. UV rays are stronger at higher altitudes, and during the winter, you get extra exposure because UV rays reflect, or bounce, off the snow back at you [source: Euwer]. If you're going to spend time in high altitudes, plan on wearing a stronger sunblock than you normally use.
Daily Winter Sun Protection
Sun protection is just as important during the winter as it is during the warmer months. It might feel cold outside, but that doesn't have anything to do with the strength of the sun's ultraviolet, or UV, rays. Although people tend to associate heat with sunburn, that's a myth. No matter what the temperature is outside, you can get sunburn. Make sure you educate yourself on a few preventive measures you can take.
Always wear sunblock. You should wear sunblock of at least SPF 15 or higher even in the winter. You'll need to reapply the sunblock periodically because the winter weather will dry it out and strip it from your skin.
Don't forget your lips. Too much sun exposure can lead to dry, cracked lips and, over time, can cause skin cancer. Like sunblock for the rest of your skin, your lip balm should be SPF 15 or higher. You'll need to reapply lip balm often during the day [source: American Academy of Dermatology].
Avoiding sunburn means avoiding the sun, and that means covering up. Wear a hat with a wide brim that shades your entire head, including your ears and neck. Also, don't forget to wear shades that include UV protection and cover your sensitive eye area [source: WebMD]. And whether it's winter or summer, pay attention to the UV index scale. If UV levels are high, very high or extreme, it helps to minimize the amount of time you spend in sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The best way to tell if your sun exposure is too high is to look at your shadow -- if it's shorter than you, as it usually is during the midday, seek out shade [source: Environmental Protection Agency].
From sunburn and windburn prevention to dry skin, winter poses a number of unique skin care challenges. With a little thought and planning, you can enjoy your winter escapades without worrying about Jack Frost ruining your fun.

Market Days
Mark and Kimberly Sorensen and their daughters (Johannah, Elizabeth, and Olivia), along with 2 part-time and 30 seasonal employees.
20 acres in Caruthers, about 200 miles from the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market.
Farm History
Triple Delight Blueberries is a family farm that works hard to grow the best quality and tasting blueberries possible. Mark, a fifth-generation farmer, started as a raisin farmer and in 1996 decided to diversify his business by starting Triple Delight Blueberries. Mark and Kimberly sell most of their blueberry harvest directly to consumers, and every spring the family looks forward to returning to the farmers market to connect with their customers.
Very sandy soil built up with mulching. Blueberries require acidic soil and the Sorensens create this environment adding acidic amendments and nitrogen through the drip irrigation system.
Water Use
Blueberries require a lot of water. Water is obtained from on-site wells and drip irrigation is powered by electricity.
Weed Control
Herbicides are applied during the blueberry dormant season. During the growing season, the Sorensens weed by hand.
Pest Management
They have almost no pests and use scare deterrents such as flying metalic tape to protect the crops against birds and have installed owl boxes to control the gopher population.
Fun Fact
Triple Delight Blueberries is named for Mark and Kimberly's three daughters.
Caruthers, California

Fighters battle for control of AfmadowComment on this story
Mogadishu - Kenya's military said it captured the Somali rebel redoubt of Afmadow on Wednesday, but the al-Shabaab militant group said it had repulsed a Kenyan attack and still controlled the strategic town in southern Somalia.
A spokesperson for Somali government forces fighting alongside the Kenyans said they had advanced to the outskirts of Afmadow but had not captured the town, as Kenya's military spokesperson, Major Emmanuel Chirchir, had stated earlier.
"After a fight we are on the fringes of Afmadow and soon we shall enter," said Mohamud Farah, a spokesperson for Somali government troops in the Juba region.
The al-Qaeda-linked insurgents said their positions in Afmadow were attacked for the second day running on Wednesday but they repulsed the Kenyan assault.
"Let the Kenyan troops try to take Afmadow. They always bluff. We chased them away, they cannot capture Afmadow," said Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, spokesperson for al-Shabaab's military operations.
Kenya sent troops across the border into Somalia in October, blaming the insurgents there for a string of kidnappings on Kenyan soil that threatened to harm the East African country's tourism sector.
The Kenyan incursion is part of a three-pronged offensive against al-Shabaab, an Islamist group that is also battling Ethiopian troops in central Somalia and an African Union force near the capital, Mogadishu.
Seizing Afmadow is a crucial step in the Kenyan drive towards the southern port city of Kismayu, the hub of al-Shabaab operations, about 120km away.
The Kenyan incursion into Somalia has resulted in a wave of kidnappings, cross-border raids and attacks inside Kenya, which Nairobi has blamed on al-Shabaab.
On Wednesday, a blast outside a restaurant in the north-east Kenyan town of Wajir, near the border with Somalia, killed one person and wounded at least three, North Eastern police commander Leo Nyongesa told Reuters.
A local resident who identified himself as Issack and who helped ferry the wounded to hospital said the number hurt in the explosion was seven.
The attack follows a bomb blast on Monday in the capital, Nairobi, that wounded more than 30 people. No group has taken responsibility.
The coordinated military push against al-Shabaab has forced the militants to retreat over the past nine months. Kismayu, where most of the group's foreign fighters have been based, remains its most significant bastion.
Al-Shabaab, which formally merged with al-Qaeda earlier this year, has responded by resorting more to guerrilla-style tactics such as suicide bombings and hit-and-run grenade attacks.
On Tuesday, Kenyan battleships patrolling off Kismayu struck al-Shabaab positions in the port city after the rebels fired anti-aircraft guns at them.
Chirchir, the Kenyan military spokesperson, said 11 rebel fighters had been killed by the warships' shellfire. - Reuters

School voucher proponent Jackie Meeks of Cleveland, Ohio, takes part in a rally outside the Supreme Court in Washington in 2002.
- Filed Under
This week, the Daily News Journal posted this question on Facebook and dnj.com: Should the next session of the Tennessee General Assembly approve a school-voucher program for the state? Why?
Jimmy White: Yes because the schools any many areas are failing!
Bob Schultz: Yes. Allows parents to get kids out of failing schools
Erica Langlois: The schools in Tennessee are amazing. I have had a child in the Rutherford County school system and in Livingston Parish (Louisiana) school system. Teachers and schools are way better than what Louisiana has to offer. Be happy with what you have!
Mary Miller: Christians say yes so their schools can be funded. Muslims are saying the same thing. I don't live in TN but it seems to me that states need to do everything they can to provide a good public education to all. Some children are in a classroom more than they are home. It is here they are exposed to a diversity that they will be called to deal with their entire life. They get practice in tolerance and seeing things from different perspectives. God has given the fathers responsibility for the spiritual education of their children. Schools are the laboratories for applying those spiritual principals.
Carl Berning: No. The state should only fund public schools. Taxpayers should not be forced to fund religion based education no matter what religion or denomination. All publically raised money should go only to public schools.
Tom Pell: Keep Church and state separate, states should only fund a public non-religious school system, while churches and parents should pay for all private education without the benefit of any state funding.
Charlie X Hunt: "Separate but equal" was adjudicated by the Supreme Court in "Brown vs The Board of Education" in 1954. The court held,
We conclude that, in the field of public education, the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. Therefore, we hold that the plaintiffs and others similarly situated for whom the actions have been brought are, by reason of the segregation complained of, deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment.
Phyllis Murphy: I am so encouraged to see the very intelligent comments here. I was raised and educated in Murfreesboro in the public school system and at MTSU (for a very low in-state tuition) and it has stood me in good stead as a professional writer and as a well-educated human being out in the big world outside TN. Thank you public schools, thank you TN! Forever may you be the wonderful "volunteer" state you have always been.

Detroit Lions quarterback Kellen Moore checks out the defense against the Cleveland Browns on Aug. 10, 2012. / Jarrad Henderson / DFP
ORLANDO — Shaun Hill closed the door on a return to the Detroit Lions by signing with the St. Louis Rams today, and the Lions might turn to the NFL draft for his replacement.
Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said at the NFL owners meetings this week that he definitely would consider drafting a quarterback to back up Matthew Stafford this year.
The value in that is maybe you have your backup for the next three or four years, Mayhew said. Or, like some teams have done in the past, when you draft that quarterback and you develop him, then you can trade him for a draft choice. So that certainly is an option for us.
The Lions typically carry three quarterbacks on their roster and have spent the past two seasons with the same trio: Stafford as starter, Hill as backup and Kellen Moore as third string.
Hill has played sparingly the last three years, attempting just 16 passes and appearing in four games. Moore, who signed with the Lions as an undrafted free agent two years ago, has yet to take an NFL snap and is entering the final season of his rookie contract.
Staffords place atop the depth chart is secure.
Kellen has shown a lot of growth and improvement over the time that we've had him, but he hasn't gone out and actually done it in games, so that's the trade-off, Mayhew said. With a guy like Shaun Hill, you got him this year, but do you have him next year or how many more years is Shaun going to be able to play? Whereas you get a young guy, thats your backup for the next three or four years.
A lot of teams have used that backup quarterback position to draft and develop a guy you can eventually trade for a draft choice. So theres a lot of different ways to go with that. We'll just keep aware of the situation and try to find the right fit.
Asked whether hed prefer a veteran or rookie backup, Mayhew, who hasnt drafted a quarterback since taking Stafford first overall in 2009, said hes very open to any possibility.
We just need a player, a quality player, that can be our backup quarterback, Mayhew said. He can go in and function and perform well for us and help us win a game. And it could be a young guy, it could be a draft choice, it could be a veteran guy. But we want to find the right guy for that role.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Matt O'Hanlon had three of Nebraska's five
interceptions against Landry Jones and the Cornhuskers squeezed
enough production out of their struggling offense to upset No. 20
Oklahoma 10-3 on Saturday night.
The Sooners (5-4, 3-2 Big 12) failed to score a touchdown for
the first time since a 29-0 loss to Texas A&M in 1998.
The Cornhuskers (6-3, 3-2) won despite getting just seven first
downs and 180 total yards. They were able to get a yard when they
really needed it, after Prince Amukamara returned an interception
to the OU 1 in the second quarter. Zac Lee threw a short pass to
Ryan Hill for the only touchdown of the game.
Oklahoma's last two possessions ended on interceptions, including O'Hanlon's third.
O'Hanlon ran back his first interception 30 yards to set up Alex Henery's 28-yard field goal.
Roy Helu Jr. ran for 138 yards on 20 carries for Nebraska.
