My number has zero bearing on who I am as person, nor does it suggest anything about my morals.

It goes without saying that at some point in your life someone will ask you about your 'number.' Whether it be a one-night stand, a friend, or some fling you have while you're in Rio for the summer, the question will be tossed your way. In those instances, what will you say? Do you plead the fifth or perhaps round down? Or, like me, do you reveal the truth, shrug, and move on in the conversation? At that point, even the weather is a more interesting and important topic.
According to Tracey Cox, a self-proclaimed expert in the way of sex and relationships, if you do answer that question and you're over 30 years of age, the "correct" answer is 10. Eye roll. Since we're discussing self-proclaimed experts, I'm a self-proclaimed pizza-eater expert, and I say two slices is never enough. In what area is your line of expertise?
Cox says she knows this because "because every female I know (barring those who married their childhood sweethearts) answers 'ten' whenever they're asked by a partner how many people they've slept with." Ten, apparently, is two more than the "official" figure for the "average" woman's lifetime, whereas men get 12 as their "official" number. What Cox basically wants us to know is that number 10 is our best friend in these situations, if we choose to answer at all. Honesty, of course, will just get you judged by whomever is on the receiving end of your number confession. But you probably already knew that.
Despite Cox's column makes a fairly decent point: "I don't think it's a question anyone should answer anyway. The reason why is this: numbers mean nothing without knowing the circumstances." True. But can we take it a step further and just say I don't care, you don't care, and let's care about something else together? Yes? OK. Cool.
I have never judged anyone for the amount people with whom they've slept. I have friends who have slept with one guy then married him, and other friends who have slept with close to 100 people and are still out there going strong. I don't believe in running around asking people that question, but it does some times come up, and the truth can be revealed. I, in turn, have revealed my true number, and afterward it was all, "high-five, woohoo, so where are you spending Labor Day?" Judgment was not part of the equation, and lingering on the numbers was pointless, so why wouldn't we talk about Labor Day plans instead?
However, Cox is very adamant that you, ladies, will be judged for your number. No matter who you tell, outside of doctors and therapists, your number is what defines your level of promiscuity. Her cure for that judgment is to NEVER, EVER tell anyone your number. To do so is the kiss of death! Babies will be crying in the street! Men will be running from you! Your friends will call you a "slut" and throw Twinkies at you while condemning every past sexual choice you ever made! It. Will. Be. The. End.
But if you are judged, do you care?
If a friend judges you for anything, they're not a friend. If a potential boyfriend runs for the hills, it was never meant to be. And if it's a stranger? Well, do you really care what a stranger has to say?
Women are put into a box in which they are still not allowed to be sexual beings. We are not allowed to enjoy sex, sleep around, or do anything else sexually that has long been attributed to "manly" behavior. We are constantly subjected to that whole double standard thing. It's not just unfair and sexist, but archaic.

Should You Use HUD Forms For Non-RESPA Transactions?
Nobody likes extra paperwork so many of us look for ways to avoid filling out documents. The HUD-1 settlement statement must be used for almost all property purchases that involve a mortgage. There are cases where you can skip the paperwork–but should you?
For example, the HUD-1A is an optional form used in refinance transactions. Agents can use the full HUD-1 form in single-party transactions, such as refinancing or equity lines of credit. HUD even recommends using the HUD 1 settlement sheet even when not required by RESPA regulations. Some agents hesitate because they are afraid that by using the forms they are opening themselves to liability or unnecessary regulation.
Actually agents are safe using the HUD form when not required. The New RESPA Rule FAQ (PDF file) available on HUD's website says on page 44 that "using the HUD-1 form does not subject a transaction to coverage under RESPA". So even if you use the HUD-1 on a non-RESPA transaction, you won't suddenly be exposing yourself to RESPA rules.
The obvious next question is, "Why would I want to fill out a government form if I don't have to?" The answer is that filling out the HUD 1 using HUD settlement statement software like Easy HUD is actually easier than figuring out a refinance, credit line or other transaction by hand. It's quick and simple to fill out the forms when the software does the math for you. The form pulls information from the client record so you minimize the chance of data entry statements. You have a standard form where you can easily find the information you need, especially if you routinely work with HUD-1 forms.
Even if you complete the HUD-1 form purely for internal use, the features of a comprehensive legal management software package reduce the time you spend completing a transaction and getting the information you need. You can handle more clients and that has a positive effect on your firm's bottom line.
Skeptical? Find out for yourself. Try Easy Soft's title closing software risk-free for 30 days. You'll see that HUD form automation improve the quality of real estate financial services you can offer your clients.

Starting A Solo Law Practice? You Don't Have To Go It Alone
Experienced attorneys advise law school students who want to form solo practices right after graduation that it's best to work for a large law firm first. This allows new attorneys to learn the ins and outs of the business of practicing law and the realities of handling clients, filing documents and going to court before forming a solo practice.
After a few years in a large practice an attorney may find that the benefits are hard to leave behind. The security, large client list and technology access can be so appealing the lawyer decides to stay. However you should know that even a small firm can afford the kind of law practice management software tools that used to be available only major practices.
Powerful and affordable attorney time and billing software such as Easy TimeBill is easily available to the solo attorney on a limited budget. You don't need to leave behind the ability to track your time, print professional invoices and track client account balances. In fact this kind of software is even more important to the solo practice than a large firm since you don't have a bookkeeper handling the accounts for you.
Time and billing software for lawyers does more than just act as a glorified calculator. Features such as the built-in conflict checking system protect you from putting hours into a case only to realize you have a conflict of interest. Productivity tools such as a calendar and document tracking keep you on top of all aspects of a case regardless of the type of law you practice.
Easy TimeBill includes the escrow software features needed by law practices. Track all the funds belonging to each matter separately even if they are deposited in the same trust account. Ensure you never accidental spend Client A's money on Client B's expense. Generate three-way reconciliations required by most states.

It is like having a team of professionals working for you. Contact us to find out more about how our products help all law offices, from solo practices to multinational firms, automate and simplify their work.

Child Support For Adult Children
A recent study showed that nearly half of the 26-year-olds in the U.S. were living with their parents. As the country finds its way out of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, many adults struggle to make enough money to move out on their own. This can become a tricky issue if the child's parents are divorced.
When attorneys plan child support scenarios in divorce legal software they generally assume child support ends at the age of majority, which is 18 in most states and 21 in a few. However there are cases where the non-custodial parent will be required to pay for adult children. If the child is still a minor then it is important to consider these scenarios when presenting settlement offers.
The most common reason for adult child support is college. Most states have statues that say support must continue if the child is enrolled as a full-time college student. However even in these cases there is often an age limit, typically 21 years of age, to prevent "professional students" from sponging off their parents for years. The situation of children going to college directly after high school is common so is easy to account for in divorce settlement software.
The other case where child support for adult children would be granted is if the child is disabled. In this scenario the court considers the economic impact of the disability. If the condition prevents the child from working in a self-supporting job, then the non-custodial parent may be required to keep paying support for the rest of the child's life. This is an important consideration when using divorce planning software to evaluate different spousal and child support tradeoffs.
What if a child is disabled after becoming an adult and after the parents are divorced? The court might impose child support after the fact…or they might not. It's a complex situation and divorce software for attorneys helps family law practices examine every possibility.
The situation is further complicated by the fact each state has its own support laws so it's impossible to give general information that would apply to every divorce.
Attorneys have enough work just interpreting the many laws that govern adult child support in their own state without wrestling with the calculations as well. Use attorney practice management software to simplify and automate your family law practice so you can put your full attention on the law where it belongs.

Land Ho!: A Log Of Discovery During The Voyage Of Divorce
Although the waters of divorce are well charted, family law attorneys know they need to keep a careful discovery journal along the way. Since divorces are so contentious, the discovery process is essential to presenting a judge with an accurate picture of marital assets. In addition to using software to help complete the Case Information Statement NJ family law attorneys can use the tool to track the discovery process.
Careful discovery documentation can be more important than the actual documents being requested. Let's say you request a document and the opposing attorney does not produce it in a timely manner. When you show the judge the discovery motion, backed by data from your NJ divorce software discovery log, then the opposing attorney's case becomes weaker.
For the same reason, you need to stay on top of discovery requests to avoid hurting your own client's case. For example you probably know that if you receive an "admissions of fact" and don't return the document within 30 days, then that will be considered by the court to be a tacit admission that the statements are all true. "Oops I forgot" isn't going to go over well with the judge.
Tracking discovery by hand in a single divorce case can be a paperwork nightmare. It's easy to overlook one request or not aggressively pursue requests to the opposing attorney, and that means you can't present the best case possible for your client. Multiply that by a dozen simultaneous divorce cases and it's nearly impossible to keep up without using New Jersey matrimonial software.
Easy Soft's Case Information Statement software includes an integrated discovery log. You can easily track requests made and received by your practice, each request categorized by case, document type, request date and more. Unlike a paper log, you can link each discovery entry with the actual electronic document stored on your computer or your practice's network.
An attorney must work diligently to produce the best case possible for a client. In today's fast-paced, information-heavy world that is impossible without high quality legal practice management software. Don't work at a disadvantage. Incorporate the latest electronic technology into your law practice right away.

Technology That Helps You Help Your Divorce Clients
Family law is one of those legal specialties fraught with emotion. To the client, this is about as personal as it gets and the attorney needs to find ways to help while still making smart business decisions. Divorce settlement software helps attorneys keep the relationship business like.
In 2010 New York became a no-fault divorce, turning the process into a mere financial transaction. Stories of abuse, infidelity and who left the cap off the toothpaste have no bearing on the decisions in the case, yet attorneys know if they are not careful, then they will be listening to every petty problem that existed in the relationship. Attorneys must keep the relationship professional finding that sweet spot between appearing cold and aloof, and becoming the client's new BFF.
SupportNYLite keeps the client focused on financial rather than emotional matters. Rather than collecting information from the client in person, which is an inefficient use of the attorney's time especially when every figure on the sheet comes with a ten-minute story, the attorney gives the client a Word document to be filled out at leisure. The attorney imports the form into the NY family law software quickly and efficiently.
Family law attorneys need to eat just like everyone else. However their clients are facing the loss of half their assets and often going from a two-income to a one-income family, so are dealing with their own financial problems. Attorneys who run efficient practices can keep their fees low, while handling enough clients to keep their income high.
Divorce is handled more efficiently using New York matrimonial law net worth software to automate and simplify the process of completing the NY Statement of Net Worth and calculating spousal and child support scenarios. Software allows attorneys to give each case the attention it needs using a fraction of the time manual methods would entail.
Supplement your family law software with time and billing software for lawyers to keep an eye on retainer balances, outstanding invoices and client account balances. You don't have to be an accountant to use these tools and keep your practices solvent.

"FEI was the first to commercialize the DualBeam well over a decade ago,
and, in keeping with FEI's long track record of combining the latest in SEM
and FIB technologies in a single system, we have unveiled the new Helios NanoLab
x50 DualBeam. Designed to meet our customers' next-generation imaging requirements,
the Helios is the most capable and flexible dual beam system available on the
market today," stated John Williams, FEI's director of corporate and strategic
marketing. "It combines unmatched SEM imaging, originally launched in the
award-winning Magellan™, and FIB milling performance with improved resolution
and stability, for advanced applications in failure analysis, nanoscale characterization,
nanoprototyping, sample preparation, and other advanced analytical techniques."
The new high-performance Tomahawk FIB, originally introduced in the V400ACETM
and now empowered with FEI's latest fast switching technology, provides unprecedented
SEM and FIB live monitoring of milling operations, a smaller FIB spot for more
precise milling control, as well as higher beam currents for faster material
removal on large structures, such as through silicon vias (TSVs). Overall throughput
of advanced TEM lamella preparation has been improved by 40 percent.
"The Helios 450(S) series is designed primarily for today's advanced semiconductor
labs that are dealing with numerous challenges, including shrinking dimensions
at sub 32nm nodes; advanced packaging techniques, such as TSVs and multi-die
stacks; as well as a higher volume of samples requiring TEM imaging," stated
The Helios 650 is designed for academic and industrial research centers that
need to do advanced material characterization and modification down to the single
nanometer scale. It delivers a wider range of information and higher quality
3D data in order to better understand material characteristics, such as particle/porosity
distribution, crack propagation and other behaviors. The sub-nanometer resolution
of the Helios 650 at extremely low beam energies provides surface-specific imaging
that, until now, was unavailable in a dual beam instrument. For nanoprototyping,
the Helios 650 offers users the ability to create finer, more complex structures
over large areas (millimeters in size) with better control over dimensions,
fewer artifacts, faster material removal rates, and more.

James Sun
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (September 2011)
|James Sun
|Seoul, South Korea
|Seattle, Washington
|Founder, CEO of Pirq.com
|Korean name
|Revised Romanization
|Seon U-sin
|Sǒn Usin
James Sun (Hangul: 선우신; born in Seoul) is an entrepreneur, television host, and public speaker. He is the CEO and Founder of Pirq.com. He was the host of a BBC television program called "Sun Tzu War on Business".
Early life[edit]
James Sun born in 1982 from Seoul, Korea, immigrated to the United States when he was four. He grew up in Houston, Texas and settled in Seattle, Washington. While studying for his degree in business and computer information systems from the University of Washington, he started a technology investment fund.
Career & television[edit]
After graduating cum laude Sun joined Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, offering management consulting services to Fortune 500 companies.[citation needed] After he left Deloitte he started three technology companies, and is the Chairman, managing director, and major shareholder of several companies.
James is the first Asian male to land a spot on Donald Trump's reality show "The Apprentice." He was selected out of 800,000 applicants. The show aired for 14 weeks, and James was the first Asian finalist in the history of the show.
After his stint on "The Apprentice", James fronted a television show called "War on Business" where he got to play the role of Donald Trump. This show was a co-production between BBC (British Broadcasting Corp), Mediacorp, and CCTV, and has aired in over 20 countries. James played the part of a business guru who travels around the world, meeting ambitious entrepreneurs and seeking to give them lessons on how to grow their businesses using principles from "Sun Tzu's Art of War".
Although he does not fire anyone, there is a strong resemblance to "The Apprentice" reality show format, with project challenges, high-pressured deadlines, open criticism, and the equivalent of the "Board Room" - described as "The War Room". James takes motivated entrepreneurs, and seeks to build them into sharper and tougher people who are more successful in growing their businesses.
James Sun has endorsed several international campaigns and companies, including Hyundai in South Korea. He acted in a national commercial with the South Korean actress Ko So-young, and is keen to do more acting and modeling.
He sits on the Board of the United Way of King County, which has an annual budget of $100 Million, and is a United Way community speaker, seeking to help raise awareness and money through corporate campaigns. James is an active Board Member of the King Country Scoutreach Program, which supports Boy Scout opportunities for underprivileged inner-city children. James experienced racism at a young age, and actively seeks to promote diversity in business and politics.
James gives talks on the topic of Generational Differences between the Y, X, and Baby Boomer groups, and has advised over 35 companies on this topic. He has published a book entitled "Millennial Leaders Y" and travels around the world as a public speaker and seminar expert on the topic of "Diversity" and "Gen Y". James was recently selected as one of the top 100 alumni from the University of Washington in the "Wonderous 100 Alumni Award", which also included Bill Gates Sr., Governor Christine Gregoire, and musician Kenny G.
He was chosen to be the host of "Celebrate Asia" with the Seattle Symphony on January 14, 2011, and opened the event as the Master of Ceremonies. [1]
The Apprentice[edit]
Sun was one of the four finalists going into the finale of season 6 of The Apprentice, Donald Trump's business reality show. He and Stefani Schaeffer survived the first elimination, but Trump ultimately chose Stefani as his next apprentice. Trump said: "James, you're terrific in every respect. You're creative; I love creative people. But there were certain things and certain dialog that you gave during the course - and you know what I'm talking about - that bothered me very much. You're an outstanding guy. I really think you're going to be a big success, but for now, James, you're fired."[2] On his blog following the firing, Sun stated that he was "dumbfounded" and confused as to what exactly the "things" Trump mentioned were, although he speculated that it might have been his decision to use the program to plug his Internet company.[3][4][5].

Reject Apathy / Slices
A new Living Planet Index report from the London Zoological Society and the World Wildlife Foundation says the world's populations of wild animals are an average of half the size they were in 1970. The index tracked the populations of more than 10,000 representative populations of species from 1970 to 2010 and showed a bigger decline than previously thought (prior studies estimated that populations had declined by 30 percent). The report sites human consumption—and the resulting habitat loss—as the main reason for the decline. According to the report, there are only 3,000 tigers left in the wild today, as opposed to 100,000 a century ago. And Elephant populations in West Africa are living on about 7 percent of their historic land due to deforestation. You can check out the full report here for more information and ways to get involved to slow the decline ...

The area around Lake Tanganyika, located in the Great Rift Valley of East Africa, is touted as one of the few "unspoiled ecosystems" on the planet. The longest freshwater lake in the world and the second deepest, Tanganyika's crystal blue depths hold around 18 percent of all available fresh water at any given time. It also contains well over 200 species of fish that occur nowhere else in the world.
For generations, communities along the shoreline have thrived on the lake's clean water, vibrant fishery and accessible boat transportation. Read More

Grade: B
Well, at least she got rid of Adam Goldberg.
Writer-director-star Julie Delpy follows up her giddy little 2007 trifle 2 Days in Paris with another agreeable farce. I guess you could say 2 Days in New York is sort of rambling and sloppy overall, playing somewhere well within the upper register of a certain kind of specifically French clowning, yet there's something unassumingly sweet about Delpy's pictures that will grow on you if you let it.
A quick, goofy puppet show at the outset informs us that things didn't work out between Delpy's scatterbrained photographer Marion and Goldberg, her co-star in the previous picture. It's now five years later, and she's settled down with Chris Rock's rather tellingly named Mingus, a slightly uptight public radio host who likes to share his more private thoughts (as well as Rock's most relaxed onscreen moments) with a cardboard cutout of Barack Obama, standing proudly in his office.
So far, so smooth, and these two lovebirds seem to have found a way for their children from previous arrangements to all coexist within a New York apartment that, for once, actually seems to match the characters' well-off but not super-rich economic standing.
Alas, Marion has a gallery show opening tomorrow, and her insane family is en route from France. As you may or may not remember from the previous picture, and these kinds of deliberately slight comedies don't linger long in the mind, they're kind of a handful. A refresher course arrives in short order when Marion's father (played by Delpy's own dad, Albert) gets busted at customs attempting to smuggle massive quantities of sausage and cheese into the country, taped to his body. Speaking not a word of English, but never for one moment letting that interfere with his libido, the old man seems to be carrying on in his own private movie that creates a great cacophony within the margins. Also arriving are Marion's slatternly sister Rose (Alexia Landeau) and her boorish new boyfriend, Manu (Alex Nahon), who, in the spirit of sisterly competition, also happens to be one of Marion's more regrettable former flames.
Otherwise stable relationships always have a funny way of flaking out whenever extended family becomes involved, and both of Delpy's 2 Days pictures are happy to sit back and observe the stress fractures that ensue. Rose is prone to prancing around the apartment making eyes at her sister's new beau, and while I'm really not sure what she and Manu are doing in their bedroom with Mingus' electric toothbrush, I am also fairly certain I do not want to know. Misunderstandings occur, along with a poorly planned pot deal and all the classically Gallic door-slamming we expect from such circumstances.
But the big revelation here is Rock, an absolutely brilliant standup comic who always seems so stiff and uncomfortable onscreen that in some dreadful past projects, I have openly pitied him. It was a smart call by Delpy—who wrote the role specifically for the comedian—to cast Rock as a guy who's pretty much just stiff and uncomfortable all the time. Mingus serves as the straight man and our audience surrogate, so it's a howl to watch Rock's awkward, incessant humiliation and eye-rolling slow burns. The coiled anger of his comedy routines is simmering just there under the surface, but good manners won't allow him to lash out at his girlfriend's family. At least not yet.
Less successful is the subplot regarding Marion's art exhibit, which is mainly a collection of her morning-after photographs taken in bed with the men in her life over the years. (Any Hollywood star would worry that this makes her look like a whore. So good thing for all of us that Julie Delpy is French.) To boost attendance, she's also offered to sell her soul to the highest bidder during the show. Of course this is just a flimsy piece of paper that says it is her soul, but existential crises arrive sometimes when you least expect them. It's a spurious conceit that only pays off thanks to one of the most inspired cameos I have seen in quite some time, the sheer genius of which will presumably be lost on any non-art-movie nerds who happened to have wandered into the theater.
Nobody will ever mistake 2 Days in New York for great comedy, but I enjoyed the madcap looseness and consistently high spirits. Delpy aims low and consistently hits the target. It's broad, silly, but with a crucial touch of messy humanity. Mostly, I just enjoyed spending time with these people, which is a rare thing to be able to say about a film these days.
Impossibly charismatic Michael Fassbender soars in "Steve Jobs"
"Pan" deserves the hook
"Everest" like a nature documentary that turns into a horror movie

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- Another South Carolina agency wants to enter the federal lawsuit challenging the $650 million dredging of the Savannah River shipping channel.
The state Department of Health and Environmental Control says it should be allowed to participate because it would have to issue a Pollution Control Act permit for the dredging if the court requires one.
The suit was brought by environmental groups who claim a permit is needed because dredging the river to deepen the channel will mean toxic cadmium will be dumped on the South Carolina shore.
Last month, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel agreed that both the South Carolina Savannah River Maritime Commission and the Georgia Ports Authority could also enter the case.
Gergel also appointed former South Carolina Congress John Spratt to mediate the suit.

Having a big gun is great if you're a comics fan because big guns are cool. But guns can be taken away, which is not cool, because then how can you shoot things? Luckily a grateful comics nation long ago arrived at a solution for this conundrum — make a gun out of yourself! The glorious breakthrough is exemplified in this Guy "Extreme Nineties Spokeslantern" Gardner cover:
This isn't really a "costume" per se, but it's definitely "bad" and he's a "super" if not necessarily a "hero". And "scare" quotes are "scary" and "irritating".
But aside from the obsession with guns so intense it causes you to actually become a gun, and ignoring the spikes (EXTREME!!) and Unhinged Giant Snake Jaw (©Image Comics), what really bugs me about all of these integrated biological firearms (get it, fireARMS?) is, what do they shoot, exactly?
I'll pause while you think about this.
The only stuff it can fire is stuff that the body itself creates. So at the end of an extended firefight this guy ought to be a withered husk lying smoking on the ground. Granted, there is precedence for humans creating excess material but most of it is disgusting. Which is a nice way of saying that if Guy Gardner comes after me with his giant gun arm shooting snot bullets at me, he wins on gross-out points alone. But I'd sure kick his ass first, because that's just wrong.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Mitt Romney won a commanding victory in the Florida primary Tuesday night, rebounding from defeat and taking a
significant step toward the Republican presidential nomination. Despite the setback, Newt Gingrich vowed to press on.
Returns from 38 percent of Florida's precincts showed Romney with 48 percent of the vote, to 31 percent for Gingrich.
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum had 13 percent, and Texas Rep. Ron Paul 7 percent. Neither mounted a substantial effort in the state.
The winner-take-all primary was worth 50 Republican National
Convention delegates.

Five men and one woman are behind bars after police say they kicked down the door to a Washington County home and kidnapped a 15-year-old girl.
Authorities say they were armed with baseball bats when they charged into the home and forcibly removed the girl. Ashley Williams and Chris Moore, both from Bryan, have been charged with aggravated kidnapping.
Clarence Williams and two juveniles are also charged with aggravated kidnapping. Terrance Williams faces a charge of burglary with intent to commit assault.
On March 18, deputies say they were called to the scene of a reported burglary. There, they were told the group had broken into a house on FM 1370 and taken the girl. She was later returned to the scene, but police say she had been physically assaulted.
The four adults are now in Washington County Jail. The two juveniles are in the Bryan detention center. Officials say the case is still under investigation.

Several years ago I got a bunch of the plastic Catachan imperial guard models from Games Workshop. At the time I was planning to use them to build an Armageddon Ork Hunters army (which should give you an idea how long ago that was). Since then they have sat in a case waiting to be painted.
I finally got some of them out a little over a week ago and started painting them. I immediately remembered why they have been unpainted for do long.
These were the first plastic imperial guard models GW put out since the late 1980s. They are blocky and poorly jointed. They have lots of gaps when assembled. And they aren't posed well. These are probably some of my least favorite models.
At this point, I would happily sell them but for two things. First, I want to use them as another test for the quick shade. I'm painting them with the simplest paint scheme I can and then shading them to see how they look. It will be a good experiment to see how the quick shade works with simpler schemes and plastic models. Second, I want to paint everything I have before I unload it. I made a challenge to myself, and I'm stubborn enough to want to see it through, even if it means painting a bunch if bad models.
To get around the fact that I don't like these models as much as others I have, I'm painting them in small batches in the time I have before work. That allows me to work on them in small doses so I don't just get disgusted and move on to something else. Still, I hate Catachans.

I hate Catachans

Pics? There's always something to be learned, even from "ugly" figures.ReplyDelete
I agree that you can learn a lot from ugly models. I've painted Catachans multiple times. This batch just reminded me of all the frustrations of doing them before.ReplyDelete
I'll talk more about the lessons and include some pics as soon as I get the first round of these guys done. If all goes well, that should be sometime this weekend. If not, hopefully next week.

West Seattle Crime Watch: Cabbie attacked with stun gunAugust 22, 2011 at 12:07 pm | In Crime, West Seattle news | 16 Comments
A 25-year-old man is in jail after allegedly attacking a cab driver with a stun gun early this morning in the Morgan Junction area. We heard a bit about the incident via the scanner and just obtained the report from Seattle Police. The cab driver told police he had picked up the suspect in The Junction and was told he wouldn't have to go far. According to the driver, he was directed through a few side streets southwest of California/Fauntleroy – and then around 46th and Fauntleroy, the suspect grabbed him from behind and "drove an electric stun gun into his side 3-4 times." At that point, the report says, the driver lost control of the cab, which then hit a vehicle on SW Frontenac. The suspect got out and so did the driver, running after him until the suspect jumped a fence. A K-9 unit came to help try to track down the suspect; the stun gun was found in the 4600 block of SW Maple (map), while the suspect was found about a block away, hiding under a van. Police say the suspect doesn't live in the Morgan Junction area; they didn't find any money on him, but did find 4 grams of marijuana. He told them after being advised of his rights that he didn't know what he was doing in the back seat of a patrol car, and it was, the report says he claimed, "all King County Jail's fault." (The register shows his most recent stay there, in an assault case, ended on the 4th of July.) The cab driver didn't want to go to the hospital, but did have what the report calls "a series of red, raised welts near his belt line above his hip."

Way to go, K-9!
If only police could have given the cab driver five minutes with that guy before they took him to jail…
Comment by mookie — 12:27 pm August 22, 2011 #
I drove a cab in Seattle for over 20 years — sure glad I'm done with that. I was lucky; never got robbed or attacked.
Comment by Defenestrator — 1:04 pm August 22, 2011 #
So he was in jail for an assault case, what happened with that? Why do we seem to have so many repeat-violent offenders that don't actually get real jail time?
Comment by Adam — 1:09 pm August 22, 2011 #
I haven't had time to look up the record yet. It was listed as third-degree assault, and he was in jail for more than two weeks. The case most likely is not even resolved yet. Will add info when I can get into the records. – TR
That suspect is lucky the cabbie didnt have a gun on him.Bet he will next time.

Yep, all the fault of King County Jails: they didn't keep him. :/

We do not publish names until people are charged. We will keep an eye on the case as we have done with others we reported on in this manner – TR
For the record no fence was jumped… Looks like he barreled through two gates and a section of fence…several unexpected repairs for me…do you think he will pay to fix? ;)
Comment by Dave — 4:31 pm August 22, 2011 #
thanks, I'm just quoting the police report: "(The victim) stopped chasing when (the suspect) jumped the fence."
"These aren't my pants!"
Comment by Eddie — 4:56 pm August 22, 2011 #
@ Dave: Several years ago I lost two gates and a section of fence to a police pursuit through my yard. I was given a case # and presented them with my expenses. (I did the labor myself and could only bill for materials). A couple of years later I got a check! Apparently it was paid in restitution by the "perp." I had written it off and forgotten about it by then but it is possible! (All in WS BTW)

This happened outside my house. 9 cop cars showed up and 2 k-9 units. Our neighbors car got hit by the cabbie. What worries me was what he was going to do in our neighborhood…
But i got this report from my dad. I slept through the entire thing.

Joshua L. Ellis. Charged in Muni Court, not Superior Court, with assault, but still in jail. Hearing tomorrow, we'll check later to see what happens, won't be able to go to court in person. As for a photo, I don't see any indication that he has served time in state prison, which is the only way images are available to the media outside of shooting hearings. – TR

The USD 364 Board of Education held a special board meeting Thursday night to interview 3 possible candidates for the interim Superintendent position. They interviewed Michael Nolton of North Lyon County, Dr. Dale Slagle of Frontenac, and Dr. Randy Freeman, director of Marshall County Special Services, the special education cooperative between Marysville and Valley Heights School Districts. After the interviews, they hired Dr. Freeman as the interim Superintendent for next school year and asked Freeman to find an interim director for the special education cooperative for next year. Freeman is a former superintendent for the Silver Lake school district. His salary was set at just over $90,000 for next school year.

Sheffield no option for Yankees?
Hey, what do you know… the post season isnt even over and already the Yankees are making noise. Apparently the Evil Empire picked up the one year, $13 million option they had on Gary Sheffield. So what's the big news? Sheffield is throwing a fit. Ok, ok, that is nothing new but his reasoning is. He simply doesn't want to have only a one year contract. Sheffield is quoted as follows:
"This will not work, this will not work at all. I don't want to play first base a year for them. I will not do that. I don't know what they're [Yankees] going to do. Maybe they picked it up just to trade me. If they do that, if I just [go] to a team for one year, there's going to be a problem." (from Espn.com).
Now, keep in mind that Sheffield negotiated this contract HIMSELF. If you remember, we were treated to a back and forth "he's signed, he isnt" media circus before he eventually signed the contract that he is now angry about having to fulfill.
First of all, let me just say, I've about had it with pre-madona sports players signing contracts and then acting like they are meaningless. Whether its TO, Deion Branch, or now Sheffield, if you sign the deal, play it out! In a day and age when players like John Smoltz (among others) restructure their contracts in order to allow their team more flexibility in the free agent markets, these players' selfish actions should NOT be tollerated. The whole point of a team option is to give the TEAM the choice as to whether to keep the player or not. So Gary, if the Yankees want you to play first base for them for a year, then do it!
There was a time in baseball that the owners held all the power. Before free agency, teams basically owned players and players basically had to accept whatever the owner wanted to pay them. That might be oversimplifying it a bit but you get the point. Free agency swung the pedulum the complete opposite direction and in my opinion, its time for the owners to take some of that power back. I'm sick of seeing players demand trades and holding out. If the NFL owners had been gutsy enough to do it, they could have simply blackballed TO when he pulled that stunt in Philli. You don't want to play for the team you signed with? Then you're not playing at all. If you want to get paid, do the job you were hired to do. That one simple move would have put an end to all the pissing and moaning these rich drama queens are so fond of. Lets just hope George Steinbrenner and the rest of the baseball owners realize its time to "Cowboy Up".

Paperless Office
The Promise of the Paperless Office
The promise of a paperless office has been touted for more than 30 years. Yet look around most offices, and what do you see? Paper, and lots of it. Paper will continue to be an important business tool for years to come. The challenge, perhaps, is not to create a paperless office, but to create an office where paper and digital documents are woven together in an efficient, cost-effective, and easy-to-use workflow that revolutionizes the way people work.
eCopy Paperless Office Products
eCopy offers the leading paperless office software available in the market today. Take your office into an efficient, productive, and near-paperless future-today.
Ask yourself
- How much precious space do filing cabinets take up in your office?
- Do you maintain expensive off-site storage for paper documents that you may-or may not-need in the future?
- What does it cost you to search out a paper document from on-site or off-site storage?
- What does it cost when a paper document is lost or misfiled and must be recreated?
- How often do you make multiple copies of important documents, ship them around the organization for review and comment, manually assemble the results, and simply discard all of the copies in the end?
- When one worker is using the only paper copy of an invoice, shipping receipt, voucher, report or other important document, do others have to wait for its return to do their work? And how do they know when it is back?
- How do remote workers access important paper-based information? How long does it take to distribute these documents to them?
- How would you like to eliminate all of these problems?

Okay, this is about me, Brandon, the kid who owned the whole entire world for at least two and a half hours. They call this a middle-grade reader because they think I am in middle grade, which is totally untrue. I'm going to be in sixth next year, and there's nothing middle about that. So listen—if anybody ever tries to tell you that you're just average? Do NOT listen to them. They have no idea whatsoever. You're probably going to want to get some really long kind of paper—like a roll of toilet paper or something—so you can take notes on the dumb junk that happens to me in here, so you won't just go around doing the same dumb junk if this ever happens to you. And don't think it won't. Just don't mess with magic, is all. Super big mistake.
All this stuff was really scary when it happened to me. But when I read the way she told it in this book? It was pretty funny. What? You thought I was going to write all this down myself?
Note from grown-up:
Golden Boy is now available at Amazon, both as a Kindle book and a paperback book. And at Create Space (if you're going to get the paperback, and Amazon is the same price – please buy it at CreateSpace – they're nicer to authors). And at Barnes and Noble, if I ever get them figured out. And at iBooks, or whatever you call it, also.

Taylor stands firm against ProteasComment on this story
Captain Brendan Taylor's unbeaten half-century kept Zimbabwe afloat as they reached tea on 165 for five on the first day of their one-off Test against South Africa at Harare Sports Club.
Taylor was more than equal to everything that South Africa's much-vaunted pace attack threw at him, and went into the break on 60 not out along with Richmond Mutumbami, who was on 15.
No 1-ranked South Africa had been expected to rifle through ninth-ranked Zimbabwe after the hosts had won the toss and elected to bat, but Taylor and his teammates showed guts and determination to avoid the anticipated massacre.
Dale Steyn did do some damage, however, picking up his 376th and 377th wickets to move past West Indian great Malcolm Marshall on the list of Test cricket's leading wicket-takers.
Meanwhile debutant Dane Piedt created his own piece of history as he became the 19th Test cricketer to pick up a wicket with his very first delivery, which trapped Mark Vermeulen lbw for 14.
Vermeulen's remarkable return to the Zimbabwe side had earlier been confirmed as he made a Test comeback almost eight years after burning down his country's cricket academy.
The offspinner Piedt went on to claim two wickets in three balls during the afternoon session on his way to figures of 3 for 61 from 14 overs, dismissing Hamilton Masakadza for 45 and Regis Chakabva for a duck.
Sean Williams responded to that double blow with a counter-attacking 24 before he became Steyn's second wicket, which saw Zimbabwe slip to 120 for five.
At that stage it appeared as though an embarrassing total could be on the cards for the home side, but Taylor and Mutumbami survived a fiery spell of reverse-swing bowling from Steyn and a barrage of short deliveries from Morne Morkel to see Zimbabwe safely to tea. – AFP

Love this toothpaste, it's fluorine free and really effective.
Hands down the best toothpaste ever!

Posted by PurplePegasus on May 09, 2008
I hope they never discontinue this, my favorite toothpaste! It doesn't contain SLS so it won't foam. It's a polishing brown salty paste and it's amazing at removing tartar. I love the texture and the taste of it. If you don't understand how natural products are superior to commercial toxins, and if you need a mouthful of synthetic foam, you won't appreciate this. If you're looking for 100% natural goodness that will leave your teeth polished and clean without putting carcinogens in your mouth, then this is the toothpaste for you. The only drawback is it takes a lot more of this toothpaste to do the job than any other I've ever used. And the tubes are small and pricey but iHerb's got the best prices around! If they ever plan on discontinuing it, I want 100 cases, I am sold for life!
The best natural toothpaste ever!

I've tried a lot of natural toothpastes, some better than others, but this one is the best! The taste is a bit strong at first, but after a few brushes you get used to it. It does not foam, instead gets liquid as you brush and delivers an exceptional clean! It's great for removing plaque and even loosening already built up tartar. My gums are not bleeding anymore and teeth appear whiter. When I use it with my Sonicare it feels like I've just had a professional dental clean, awesome!

Posted by etiskhandel on Mar 20, 2013
Jeg leste en anmeldelse av hawk som ligger paa 1.plass i rankinglisten paa produktanmeldelser, og ble nysgjerrig! Jeg er solgt til denne for fremtiden! Den smaker litt rart, men tar tannsten, og tannkjøttet er friskere. Litt mer info; Salt har som kjent en rensende effekt, og denne tannkremen er annerledes enn de vi vanligvis er vant med. Den inneholder ikke SLS som gjor at denne tannkremen ikke skummer som vanlig tannkrem. SLS virker uttorrende paa slimhinner og kan gi en folelse av torrhet i munnen etter tannpuss. Dersom man har problemer med tannkjott, bor man derfor bruke tannkrem uten SLS. Den koster litt mere, men det er likevel en veldig bra pris for dette produktet.

Review: The Broadway Bridge stars in "Untraceable"
Back in the 90's The Silence of the Lambs and Seven brought the serial killer film big time success. Since then the genre has been overrun by cheap knockoffs that emphasize stylized gore and perversion over quality storytelling and directing (Hostel, Saw).
Since this is the digital age, it's now appropriate that serial killers are plying their trade over the internet, and that's the premise of the new film Untraceable. This new killer abducts people and places them in torture devices featured on his website and as more and more people log on, the faster the torture traps work. Everyone who looks at the site becomes an accomplice to murder.
The webpage comes to the attention of Portland's local FBI office and Special Agent Jennifer Marsh (Diane Lane) gets wise to the website's potential before anyone else does. Before long, Portland and the nation is swept up in internet murder hysteria. The killer is a virtual computer genius, bouncing his webpage in and out of hacked servers all over the world, covering his tracks and making his presence "untraceable."
This movie had some potential. The premise, while also a rip-off, was interesting but the film neither excites nor is it bad enough to aggravate. It's just blah; completely blah. The idea of the internet killer has been done before (Feardotcom, The Card Player) but until it's been done in a hit film it's still up for grabs. The main problem is which way do you want to go?
Silence and Seven were basically police procedurals in which the horror lurks behind the scenes. Untraceable tries to equally cover the killer and the cops but succeeds at neither. We do become familiar with Diane Lane's character and her family and this does set up the one really chilling moment in the film, but it's not enough.
The killer is revealed early, but doesn't carry the menace you need for the film to work. He's kind of creepy, but in a milquetoast manner. The cops, other than Lane's character, come off as ineffectual, cardboard cut-outs of real people that do little to distinguish themselves or make you care.
Untraceable takes the muted color scheme and gruesome deaths seen in previous films and mixes that with the detective aspects seen in the likes of Seven. The real attraction comes from the frisson of the gory deaths and this reduces it to the level of the Saw and Hostel franchises. Do we really need more of that? It's gory, but not as gory so then it becomes a watered down version of every film from which it draws inspiration.
In addition, people do stupid things in this movie that really make no sense and I cannot forgive that. Most people have seen a serial killer movie and would know enough not to do the senselessly stupid things done in this film. Not to spoil it for you but, would you really get back in the car? Come on now.
If you're ever stuck on the Broadway Bridge, just know that you can run for 5 minutes back to Union Station and hopefully find a cop or at least a cab. Surely the killer wouldn't risk attacking you there. I have to mention one more thing. The very last shot of the movie is so completely over the top I actually laughed. It was easily one of the cheesiest things I've seen in a long time.
The one real reason to see this movie is Portland. We love Portland. We love the Broadway Bridge. We love that traffic snarl at the Rose Garden as you merge from I-5 to I-84. We love the old homes in the Hawthorne and Laurelhurst districts. It all looks so good on film. Unlike The Hunted, there are no scenes where the Willamette River later turns into rapids. The city's geography is portrayed realistically and that's great.
Untraceable isn't a totally bad movie, but it isn't very good and I really can't recommend it. If you do decide to go, perhaps it'll encourage more people to shoot their films here and pump money into the economy. That's a good thing. Let's just hope that some better movies are shot here. Oh, one more thing. If you ever get an e-mail from a guy telling you he has free Winterhawk tickets for you, don't meet him in a dark parking lot.

Valencia facility and see for yourself why we take the extra steps necessary to build your new Howard Custom Boat the only way we know….THE RIGHT WAY!.
