Wow your majorly kicking my butt. I go away for a few months and your work has improved so much. I must catch up. Great work. Really fantastic. Your lines are becoming even more refined. Be careful of proportions with the heads. Keep it up.
Xeon - Why thank you!
Loper - Wowee, glad you're back! I thought you had left for good. Thanks for stopping by.
So just a few things today. I'm surprised bridgman has so little on eyes. I also think I'm starting to get a better hang on value, but I need much more practice.
Camera from life, ~1h
eyes life and head notes
Camera still life looks goooooood! And I really, really like the way you keep solidifying your studies from the masters with your own from life. It will get you sooo much further. Everything looks really good, lets see some quick hands and feet from life, though! Never can have enough of those... and maybe some more digital stuff? Or an enviro? So many options, haha...
Keep killin' it my friend!
Marlee - Why thank you. Keep the suggestions coming, it makes getting started so much easier. It's like a free to-do list for the day. I definitely want to try some more digital, but it just so happens my computer is borked. I've been meaning to mention that again, but keep forgetting. I think I've narrowed down the problem and I'm gonna try ordering a replacement part soon ($150 space bucks!). I just hope it fixes it.
I should try a traditional enviro soon though! That sounds insanely difficult. Thanks for stopping by my friend!
Soo, hands and bridgman! I definitely need to keep up the hands and features I've already covered, otherwise doing all this bridgmans will be for nothing. I haven't focused on feet in a long ass time, so I'm starting with bridgman's today and I'll move on to observation soon.
Mmm, think that's it. I keep forgetting a few things I wanna say, but I'm sure I'll get around to saying the stuff eventually. Toodles!
Out of order but whatev:
hands life
hands life
Hand and feet studies looking great! Keep up the studies and they'll pay off on down the road.
My Sketchbook
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." -- Confucius
Wonderful hand work. Your studies will definitely pay off in the long run.
After you do the studies, try drawing what you did from your imagination. It really helps solidify the study. For the longest time, I avoided that completely, but I realize now that was holding back from my imagination. Don't let that happen to you like it did to me. Keep it up.
The hands from life look insanely good! You're definitely kicking my butt this time around But I want to see some feet from life, thats when the patience reallllly pays off. I also think we should both make a pact to create more self portraits I've been bumming it lately when it comes to what I consider the "tough stuff", i.e. self portraits, digital/watercolor paintings, still lives, feet from life, etc... I think its time to crack down! I propose an offer : howabout for a week straight, we both do a self portrait every day, and upload them. I bet after just seven days things will start to feel a bit more clear when it comes to planes, head construction, and placement! what'dya say? Okay great When do you want to start?
purplegoat Thanks man!
loper42 You are definitely right about that. I've started doing this more after Marlee's suggestion, usually on scrap paper. I usually don't post this stuff, but I certainly should do more as well! Some post I will show a few examples. Thanks!
Leo 7 Thanks!
Marlee You rock my socks off. Feet from life are coming up soon! I totally accept your challenge, though I need to finish this GIGANTOR sp first! Then I'm totally down to go a week straight. Actually, I just need to get a good chunk done and then I'll be ready. So, in a few more days I will meet you at the starting line!
So I'm really busy with my final project for Life Drawing. It's going to be a gigantor self portrait of me as an old man flying a jetpack. I'm scared. :o My goal is to really work on the rendering. I want to put the time in to see how realistic I can make it. For that reason I went with graphite since I feel like I have so much more control with it. We'll see how it turns out. O.o
life model
life model
structure sketch (prelim for big project)
old me sketch (for big project)
how I've got stuff setup for the final project
Sorry so long since the last update, it's been a whirlwind. I'll be back soon!
Nice update. I love the sketch of you with your expression. You did a nice job with the life model. What medium did you use with her? I feel like the crayon looks makes it look less interesting than it could be. What are you doing for your big project? Sounds like fun.
Keep it up! Your working hard.
Wooohoo, new update!
Here's my advice on your old man idea : grab crazzyyy amounts of reference. It'll make it easier to make the happy expression "believable". I've attached a few examples! Check out also how Andrew Loomis' Drawing the Head on the Hands, (available for free pdf download if you don't have it!!), pages 56, 65, 66, 69, & 71. Take your time with the planes and don't be afraid to use values and big strokes (trying to teach myself this!) Look at how Loomis uses his big, blocky planes to define old men - Its brilliant. They are too creased and folded and wrinkled to try and use "smooth" planes, or "smooth" shading. you gotta really go crazy!
Anyway, blah blah blah, just more of me talking about things Idon't know enough about Good luck my friend!
edit; oh, and one more quick bit of advice! you're talking about crazy,ecstatic old men and jet packs - consider trying a more dynamic pose. Unless a "straight-on" portrait is the requirement, I think you should definitely go for a more interesting view. This is a big piece! You want to draw the viewer in and make them wonder about the image and the ideas behind it. Even a straight on view with the head tilted back like in the second image I posted is better. Play around with it, and make some quick thumbnails before you get too into it. You want to find one that makes the portrait feel exciting and interesting!
loper That would be charcoal! i'm going to be drawing a very large self portrait of me as an old man flying a jetpack. It will be a big challenge, but hopefully it will turn out alright. Thanks for stopping by!
Marlee You are absolutely right. I've been working really hard with reference to get the expression right. I did indeed turn the head to make it more interesting than a straight on self portrait!! Thanks for pointing to Loomis, I will definitely check that out before the next session. I hope I can get the right effect with all of this! Thanks a million for helping me out.
So still focusing on the final. Here's today's class haul though. I'm pretty happy with the pastel since it was the first time I had used pastels seriously. I'm wondering about how huge that neck is now though, looks a bit exaggerated to me. I felt my gestures were showing some improvement today, so I decided to show some. I have a couple ideas for exercises to do to really help with them...will update on that soon.
gestures life
gestures life
gestures life
portrait life
portrait life
Oh I love charcoal. Its my favorite medium at the moment. At least, the vine charcoal cause its smooth and nice to draw with. The gesture are full of life. I like them. They really give a sense of movement. Watch proportions of your head. The eyes should be at about the center. Keep it up. I love the use of purple in your portrait.
An old man flying a jet pack. Haha... that's great. I think you can do it. You have tons of skills.
Loper Thanks a ton for stopping by! Means a lot!
Hey all,
So this final is consuming me! I need to learn to balance big projects like this with studying. To be honest, I'm not working on it all the time, it's kind of just scaring me (because I'm trying to achieve a certain result). I have put many hours into it though. So far I think it's going fairly well. If I can keep this up, I think it might be OK.
The lighting wasn't very good for the photo, so excuse the poor quality and darkness. I'm definitely going to restructure the hand below and such. The background is going to be a fairly simple light cloud field with a few blurry birds. The jetpacking and such is going to be a bit more implied than directly obvious.
Anyway, I really hope I can get my computer fixed n that. I have so many things I wanna do!!!!!! Also, finally saw the new harry potter (h pitty). :thumbsup:!
Mind asplode. I'm sure I'm leaving stuff out that I wanna say, but gotta go do some stuff!
(p.s. Your reference came in handy Marlee! You rock.)
Just wanted to give a little update here. Last day of drawing in class :C. I didn't like most of what I did, but this pastel piece was kind of neat. I really like these painting-style methods.
A little update on big project too.
garg! Much to do!
Whew, well this thingy is due tomorrow. I guess I've gotta stop somewhere though I feel like I could keep working on this for another 30 hours. I learned a lot about process and such. I think it's definitely my best big project so far, so forward movement achieved. I still feel like I have a lot of work to do though. SO mucH!!!
Also, I got the compy parts and made the swap. Success! My computer seems to be back in working order. Woo!
[edit - Algenpfleger posted a ton of his old work from his epic 2 year sb from here: http://bit.ly/ihrZir He's a big inspiration of mine and has really shown what hard work can do for you. The bad drama that happened with Alge, Jana and CA makes me sad, but for now I've got a lot of good buddies here. Gotta keep working hardddd!]

I love it. It looks great. You really added enough details and the design is nice. The facial expression and look of the character is really funny and entertaining. My only criticism would be the background because it feels like it needs something more. Just a thought.
Keep up the great work. In regards to doing more projects, I think that it would be great for you to inner mix longer work with short work. I've found I learn the most from a mixture.
Loper Thanks a ton! You're right about the mixture, I just gotta get busy!
Trying to get a better handle on sighting color and using brushes to get the hard/soft edge I want. It's a big ass struggle right now.
Time to get srs! Back with more soon.
Not so happy with these,
Lookin good! Be careful not to lose your perspective or structural integrity on those outer contours
"Only put off till tomorrow, what you are willing to die left undone." -Pablo Picasso
The drawing from life is definitely your strongest piece of your digital work. I didn't know you had a digital pen. Congratulations. I suggest observing very frequently. The more you do it, the better you will come. The quick paintings that are only 15 minutes would probably be your best in helping observe the basic colors. Keep up the great work.
kiwigarbage Ack! I did kinda just let the contours there go, good point. Thanks.
Loper I think you're right. I'm learning a lot with these short color studies. edit: thanks so much for putting me in your sig there, that's awesome!!!
Going crazy :p. I think next semester is going to be really busy, so I'm trying to get as much in as possible.
I'm focusing on color with these things and I'm learning a lot. I need to work on edges IMMENSELY. I'm experimenting with brushes as well.
I really like the way that the old man portrait turned out! I definitely think that the 3/4 view served you well. Good to see the digital back, too! Don't be afraid to experiment with landscapes, either. If i have any advice, its one that i think i should take as well ... try heading over to terragalleria.com and picking a few to ref from, then switch them to black and white (you can do it right on the site). try a few enviro studies in just B&W - I feel like with the first two in the last post the saturation is a little crazy, so maybe getting rid of color for a few studies would help focus on the values themselves first. That way, when you start to work with color next time you'll be able to focus more on the temperature and saturation of the hue, and won't need to worry as much about getting the right values. Consider going a step further - paint the same photo in B&W, then in color, and switch the color one at the end to B&W and compare the differences. It might help you out, somehow
Well, anyway, haha... Lets see some more!
Marlee I love your drawing suggestions. They're always great...so I did the thing you said! You're right about the saturation. I was specifically trying to go higher saturation to test the results. I think In general my darker tones need to be more saturated than they had been, but in those I was going high sat all over the place. Great ref site too, I had been doing pbase.org which is pretty good, not sure about the licenses though. Btw, ready for the self portrait throw down whenever you wanna.
So I did a landscape in 1) b&w, 2) then in color, 3) then converted the color one to b&w to see the differences. I did spend longer and made the color one a bit more refined.
Then some designs for some story stuff I'm working on. Need to do sooooo much more! I wanted to do more, but today wasn't ideal (my fault). I'm gonna try to get a bit more done tonight and hopefully slam it tomorrow.
Woo, balancing illustration and practice is tough. Got so much to work on!
Gonna be doing much more in the next couple days - gonna keep this short!
Character sketches
Attacking some designs in a different method
Head - these took a long ass time
Hey eek! Those landscapes do look good, I hope my suggestion helped a little! I'm gonna start my SP power week (or month, year../hope) tonight, so if you wanna start tomorrow or the next day we'll be good! I love to see the project stuff you're doing, are they for school? i'd like to hear a little more about them - I'm in IB Studio Art at my school and have to start realllllly getting going on projects, designs, investigations, ect, and I'm a little lost on where to begin. Also looking into colleges (ugh, portfolios!) and am starting to get nervous, so you really have to kick my butt and tell me to work harder Hopefully the self-portrait challenge will kick off a productive week!
And don't worry if life gets in your way some days- it can be hard to be at 1000% all the time. My suggestion (to you and myself) is to follow the advice of Marko djurdjevic and Bobby Chiu and to set a specific amount time every single day where, no matter what, you draw something for yourself to better your skills,learn,have fun,etc. Works better earlier in the day, I think, because then stuff doesn't get in the way. If it takes meticulously planning 30,45 minutes of free space somewhere in your day to make sure that you feel like you've done something, its fine. It can be way, way too easy to push your own art stuff to the side for more important things. One of my favorite Bobby Chiu quotes (no, i am not obsessed..) is, "Its all about INTENSITY. YOU GOTTA GET CRAZY. Don't be afraid to really fall in love with art, because art will take care of you."
edit; whoo, you posted again before I did. Reffed figures look great,seriously. Keep doing them and your efficiency with the nonreffed ones will only increase. I'd suggest doing a few hours of 20 second gestures, because the biggest problem with the non-reffed ones is that they're stiff. A lot of them look like they should be doing dynamic things, but they've got that wooden feel. Take an action movie and pause it strategically if you're in need of reference for longer poses, because the dynamism is the most important thing (imho!) to capture. Its always harder for me to accept a figure that is stiff than one that is anatomically wonky, because movement is tough to capture.

I love your figure sketches. Your designs are interesting. Definitely do more of those. The photo sketches are great. Keep it up. Pretty soon imagination will get easier. It still find it difficult.
Marlee Your suggestion most definitely helped. Today sounds good for the self portrait stuff. I think I'm gonna try to go for more than a week, so just jump in whenever you can! The project stuff is actually a personal project. My friend and I have been working on stuff since we were about 14 years old, and we're finally getting close-ish to putting out some stuff. This stuff is verrry different than that old stuff, but it's still in the same spirit. We've finished a couple smaller things, but nothing really serious. Anyway, basically it's going to be a fantasy webcomic about a group of people working to become good/professional magicians (like wizard magic). I can talk about it some more sometime if you want.
So what kind of things are you supposed to do for that class, or do you kind of have free reign? What requirements are there? Maybe I can help with conjuring up some ideas/getting you in motion. Whatever you need, lemme know.
Definitely gotta love bobby chiu, he's the man. "PUNCH IT IN THE FACE!" Haha, I think he says that about a lot of things. Your brain, apathy maybe....I forget.
You're totally right about the mind stuff too. I was focusing on the subtleties of the bones and curves and didn't really lay down a good gesture or anything. A million 20 second gestures sounds like a great idea. Whew, thanks for such an awesome post.
Loper Thanks so much! I plan to do many, many more.
Welp, not so happy with my first of a weekly set of self portraits. Likeness is off and eyes are poor. I may need to do many more than 7. Once again focusing on subtleties which is making everything else suffer...but soon this should even out a bit.
And here's a couple more concepts from my project. Gave Jono there a full body and a costume and some other costume things. Much more to do!
Happier with today's self portrait. I think it was kind of a breakthrough for me and brushes. I've felt like I could never do what I wanted with a brush before, but today felt good. Just using a round brush, altering size and hardness. Edges, man! ~2.5 hrs Likeness and such suck, but I was focusing on learning to handle the brush.
And I was going to design some vehicles today, but I realized that I suck at vehicles, so I drew a few. I'm probably gonna do a few more, but the rest of today might be kind of busy so I wanted to update now.
p.s. Marlee - I'll respond after your next update, since you said you were gonna update later with the rest. Either way, I'll hit up your sb by sometime tonight!! Keep going RARRR!
Quickie here, busy day. Happier with this sp though, the likeness is much better. Also some more concept work for the project.
So much to doooooo.

- It's a Wonderful Afterlife
- Production year: 2010
- Country: UK
- Cert (UK): 12A
- Runtime: 100 mins
- Directors: Gurinder Chadha
- Cast: Goldy Notay, Jamie Sives, Jimi Mistry, Mark Addy, Ray Panthaki, Sally Hawkins, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Shabana Azmi, Zoe Wanamaker
Gurinder Chadha has near-legendary status for her barnstorming popular classic Bend It Like Beckham – but this latest misses the goal. Doting Indian mum Mrs Sethi (Shabana Azmi) has furiously murdered all the people who have been nasty to her daughter Roopi (Goldy Notay), whom she has tried to marry off, and these victims come back as ghosts. All the potential for drama and comedy is sacrificed to this totteringly high concept. Sally ("Happy-Go-Lucky") Hawkins plays Roopi's best mate, and she is at the centre of a spoof of a well-known horror film that should have been a five-second visual gag but goes on and on for what seems like 30 minutes.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by ratslair disappointing purchase I chose this product because it was a good price and a well known make. I liked the design with the nice round base which enables you to stand it easily on its end whilst adding ingredients and for storage. It also had a choice of 5 speeds to choose from However I'm really disappointed with the speed settings as they are all really fast and I ended up with a dusting of flour over everything as there wasn't a slow enough speed to start binding the ingredients together . It's for this reason alone that i wish i hadnt bought this product and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. 26 June 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shugs353 Great product Very pleased with item and price. Collected item from store, that was my choice. Couldn't fault Asda for informing me by text, when it had arrived at the store, it arrived quite quickly. 11 April 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by glamgran whips up a storm!! I bought this to replace my Kenwood hand held mixer - similarly priced. I cook/bake virtually everyday, so my new purchase, now 3 weeks old, has seen a fair bit of service. It has a good base to stand on; it is a powerful whipper - would have preferred a greater contrast in beating speeds (ie 1 is very little slower than 5); speed 1 can take you by surprise(!) but once you are aware of this 'danger' it's no problem. I would certainly recommend this little robust fella. 27 October 2013

The build error hinted me to try a trick like this:
long newID = 17;
...which works. Only weird thing is, I have a different project open in NetBeans, and there's no compile error in an identical situation (and it's pretty safe to rule out any "outer" influences or unwanted interactions, it's all as simple as my code snippet here).
Could this be a compiler settings thing? I'd like to now a bit more about what's going on and why can't I just use

Drought Tightens Corn Supply Before Harvest: Commodities
Droughts from Mexico to Argentina are shrinking corn stockpiles to a five-year low, raising the prospect of a bull market before U.S. farmers start reaping the biggest crop ever.
Global reserves will drop 4.2 percent to 123.43 million metric tons by Oct. 1, according to the average of 21 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. That's equal to 52 days of consumption, the fewest since 1974. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. expects prices to rise 10 percent to $7 a bushel before the U.S. harvest starts in September, 21 percent above the one-year closing low reached on the Chicago Board of Trade in December.
Prices fell 16 percent in the last four months of 2011 as the USDA predicted Brazil and Argentina, accounting for almost 10 percent of global supply, would produce their biggest crops ever. Futures then rallied as drought spread across Central and South America, spurring the USDA to cut its forecasts twice in as many months. While prices may keep rising for now, analysts anticipate declines by the end of the year as U.S. growers harvest the most acres planted since at least 1944.
"There is no doubt that crops in South America were hurt by the hot, dry weather and that means more demand for U.S. supplies," said Alberto Alvarez, the managing director of Chicago-based grains brokerage Fintec Group Inc. "There is an imminent explosion in corn prices."
Brazilian Crop
Corn has risen 7.3 percent to $6.355 in Chicago since touching this year's low on Jan. 18, exceeding the 4 percent advance in the Standard & Poor's GSCI Agriculture Index of eight commodities. The MSCI All-Country World Index of equities gained 5.8 percent, and Treasuries lost 0.3 percent, a Bank of America Corp. index shows.
The USDA probably will report tomorrow that U.S. reserves on Sept. 1 will drop to about 19.7 million tons (776.5 million bushels), the smallest since 1996, according to the Bloomberg survey of analysts. It will also forecast a combined Argentine and Brazilian crop of 81.3 million tons in the harvest that began this month, compared with a December forecast of 90 million tons, the survey showed.
Production will drop 6.2 percent to 21.1 million tons in Argentina, the world's largest exporter after the U.S., the survey showed. In December, the USDA had forecast a 29 percent increase. Brazil's output will rise 4.7 percent, down from a December estimate of 6.1 percent, the survey showed.
Futures markets are anticipating declines from September on record global supplies, with the December contract trading at a 12 percent discount to grain for delivery in May. U.S. output will jump 15 percent to a record 362.5 million tons, the USDA said Feb. 24. That will contribute to a 6.4 percent gain in worldwide production to an all-time high of 920.3 million tons, Informa Economics Inc., a Memphis, Tennessee-based research company, said March 2.
Wen Jiabao
Demand in China, the biggest corn consumer after the U.S., may decline after Premier Wen Jiabao lowered the annual growth target to 7.5 percent, the lowest since 2004, in a state-of-the-nation speech on March 5. The country won't need "large imports" this year because it has ample supply, the State Administration of Grain said March 6. The government body manages grain reserves.
Rising gasoline costs will curb fuel consumption, in turn reducing demand for ethanol derived from corn, said Randy Mittelstaedt, the director of research at R.J. O'Brien and Associates in Chicago. It may also spur U.S. consumers to cut back on costlier groceries including grain-fed beef, pork and chicken, he said.
Pump Prices
The average pump price of gasoline in the U.S. rose 15 percent this year and reached a nine-month high of $3.767 a gallon on March 4, data from the American Automobile Association show. About 40 percent of the domestic corn crop last year went into ethanol refining, which also results in an animal-feed byproduct, according to the USDA.
For now, analysts are anticipating that demand will outpace supply for a second year. Consumption is forecast to rise to a record for a 16th consecutive year, according to data from the USDA, which begins surveying U.S. farmers later this month to update its planting forecast on March 30.
Wilting South American crops mean rising demand for U.S. grain, making corn Morgan Stanley's top pick after gold at least through early 2012, the bank's analysts, led by New York-based Hussein Allidina, said in a March 5 report. Goldman's New York-based analysts Lindsay Drucker Mann and Robert Koort said in a note the same day they are "increasingly comfortable that prices will approach $7."
U.S. Harvest
Hedge funds and other speculators are the most bullish since mid-January and raised bets on higher prices by the most in almost two months in the week ended Feb. 28, Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show. The most widely held options on grain for delivery before the U.S. harvest gives owners the right to buy at $7 by April and June, CBOT data show.
Temperatures were as much as 3 degrees Celsius above normal during January and February in most of Argentina, said Joel Widenor, the director of agricultural services at the Commodity Weather Group in Bethesda, Maryland. Some areas received less than 50 percent of normal rainfall from Dec. 1 to Feb. 8, when crops were developing, he said.
Brazilian temperatures were 1 degree Celsius above normal in the past two months, with much of the southern and central growing regions receiving about 60 percent of normal rainfall, Widenor said. It was the driest and warmest growing season since 2009, when corn output fell 30 percent in Argentina and 13 percent in Brazil.
The government in Mexico, the world's largest corn importer after Japan, said Jan. 25 that last year's drought was the worst ever and led to the smallest crop since 2005.
Grain Traders
Prices may rise 12 percent to $7.20 by July 1 as Mexico and Asian importers boost purchases, said Alvarez of Fintec, whose clients include two of the largest grain traders in Argentina and the biggest in the Brazilian state of Parana.
Imports by China rose to the highest since at least 2005 in December and January, customs data show. The nation may buy a record 7 million tons in the year that will start Oct. 1, up from 4 million tons a year earlier, Rabobank International said in a December report.
The premium that exporters are paying for corn delivered this month at terminals near New Orleans is the highest in at least five years and almost double the average from 2007-2011, USDA data show. The premium in Decatur, Illinois, the headquarters for corn processor Archer Daniels Midland Co., is the highest for March since at least 2007, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
"The cash markets are saying that corn supplies are going to get very tight this year," said Kent Jessen, the director of grain merchandising for Des Moines, Iowa-based Heartland Co-Op, which stores crops at 52 locations in the state. "We have been selling corn as fast as we can buy it from producers. It's a big demand monster, and it just never seems to go away."

Community college district
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article does not cite any references (sources). (August 2009)
A community college district is type of special-purpose district in the United States. Each district consists of part of a U.S. state, and operates the public community college system in its district.
Some states, like Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, do not have community college districts. Instead, the community colleges there are administered by state-administered college systems like the West Virginia Community and Technical College System and the Wisconsin Technical College System.

Mission Bay: Almost Paradise
By Diane Anderson-Minshall
As we do in the Caribbean, the two of us spent a lot of time in the water, taking advantage of what is now the 4,600-acre Mission Bay Park. Anyone can access it from the outside rim (the area's planners hoped to make it available to anyone regardless of class or race), but only visitors to Paradise Point get the kind of exclusive access that lets you bunk for the night about nine feet from the ocean.
Water is key to the resort's success; there's a mile of sandy beach encircling the resort, a freshwater lake, and a rather intoxicating lagoon filled with sharks and rays and other large fish -- a focal point that draws kids and adults for hours of almost meditative staring. Add the five swimming pools and hot tubs, and that's a lot of liquid.
A good vacation spot offers plenty of options. At Paradise there were several lesbians paddle-boarding, families in pontoon boats and power boats, straight couples learning to sail, crazy middle-aged couples riding Jet Skis (ahem, that was us), and many other people, even kids, kayaking, bodysurfing, swimming, and snorkeling. Motorized watercraft makes it easy to go around the entire island without going out to sea (which you could do as well), and there are areas where you can gun your Jet Ski motor up to 60 miles an hour or more, which is why I was left feeling like Evel Knievel, my smile as wide as a Miss America contestant's.
The resort has its own private marina, so all you have to do is call down and tell the staff what you'd like to do, which could include a scenic bay cruise to see the sunset or an opportunity to get within arm's length of pelicans and sea lions in their own happy habitat.
If you're traveling with children, the resort also has its own water taxi service to SeaWorld (you'll definitely know you aren't at Club Med) and there are several fire pits for roasting s'mores over bonfires at night. The resort store sells s'mores-making kits that include everything from the firewood to the marshmallows, and other supplies such as pellets you and the kids can toss to the fish in the lagoon. Honestly, though, most of the kids I saw seemed to be happiest running in and out of the water and digging in the sand back on shore.
At any resort, finding same-sex couples is usually a bonus, not a given. But at Paradise we were surprised not just to encounter other queer couples but also to find such diversity among them. One 20-something black gay couple kissed and held hands outside their bungalow while they waited for one of the hunky concierge guys to pick them up (the concierge fellas drive golf carts and will give you a ride anywhere on the island at any time of day or night). In the bungalow next to us, a 40-something lesbian couple spent long hours in the Nantucket chairs outside their abode, talking until long after sunset. At breakfast at the Barefoot Bar & Grill (where the plates are piled high, the food is good, and you can dine al fresco next to the marina) two lesbian couples juggled five kids between them, all loud but adorable towheads who jumped and squealed every time one of the many birds perched near their table dared to move.

anyone else making decision to be induced?
My question to you ladies, if I'm effaced and dialated is it safe to induce or would you wait it out? Dr. says its up to me and DH.
So happy to be a mommy! Baby Boy born 12/18/12
Christina [12.15.87] + Kristopher [12.16.84] = Kaeden Jeffrey [12.12.12!] <3
I went to the doctor today and my cervix is still closed (38 weeks 3 days). My doctor actually seemed disappointed that I am not dilated at all. He was supposed to see me next Mon but said he wants to see me on Fri instead and will discuss "evicting the little guy" sometime next week. My due date is next Fri so I am guessing that if I don't have him by my due date he will probably induce me on my due date or a day or two before. He doesn't want me going past my due date because of GD and my age. I think a little bit of it might also have to do with the holidays being the next Mon and Tues. I am good with an induction as he will be 40 weeks and complications for my age and GD actually go up after 40 weeks.
Michelle & Tim 2011
Liam Michael 12/20/12
Harper Ella 12/3/13
I have GD and yes I will take induction next week if that's what my doc wants me to do at my appt on Friday. I say go for it because problems can arise in labor no matter what you do, induction or not. They will usually ripen your cervix to allow the pitocin to work properly as well
C & D ~ Married May 2008
E ~ Born 12/2012
Boy #2 Due 3/6/2015!!
"Don't worry, be happy"
I might be induced tomorrow. My doctor has been offering to induce me on the 12th for weeks, I have been telling her no. But I am starting to cave into the idea. Mainly just depends on how my appointment goes tomorrow, if no more progress has been made (I was 1cm 20% at 37 and 38 weeks) I will probably tell her no. I don't feel that is enough progress for a successful induction.
Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.
Married to DH 10/23/10
Isaac 3/18/11 (oYo); Lilly 12/19/12 (oYo) Oliver 9/4/14
I'm hoping to talk to my doctor about it tomorrow. I'm 39 weeks today and she said she wouldn't induce until then. I have a 16 month old to take care of and this pain is ridiculous. Not to mention with DD I was induced and found out my placenta had started to age. I'd like to avoid that as much as possible this time. We'll see what she has to say.

Dacha Strategic Metals Inc. Agrees to Reconstitute Its Slate of Director Nominees for Benefit of Shareholders
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 12, 2012) - Dacha Strategic Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DSM)(OTCQX:DCHAF) announced today that it has agreed to a reconstitution of its slate of nominees for election to its board of directors designed to place the company in the best position to create long-term value for all its shareholders.
The reconstitution of management's slate of director nominees is the result of discussions between Dacha and Goodwood Inc., one of Dacha's major shareholders, aimed at resolving the proxy contest that has been ongoing between Dacha and Goodwood regarding Dacha's annual and special meeting of shareholders to be held on November 28, 2012 (the "Meeting"). Goodwood controls approximately 6.4% of Dacha's outstanding common shares.
As a result of these discussions, Dacha will be proposing the following individuals for election as directors at the Meeting: Jorge Bernhard, Tye W. Burt, Ian W. Delaney, G. Scott Moore, Alastair Neill, Peter H. Puccetti and Timothy E. Thorsteinson. It is expected that these seven individuals will be elected as Dacha's directors at the Meeting such that the board reconstitution will occur effective November 28, 2012.
All other nominees of both Dacha's management and Goodwood will no longer stand for election at the Meeting. In accordance with the discretionary authority provided by shareholders who have previously delivered proxies in respect of the Meeting, those proxies, unless revoked, will be voted at the Meeting in favour of the election of these seven nominees.
The new board will be tasked to conduct a thorough review of Dacha's metals inventory and the opportunities and prospects to create shareholder value from both Dacha's existing inventories and its rare earth element business going forward. The sole focus of the new board in conducting this review will be to seek to maximize value for Dacha's shareholders. As part of that review, the new board will also consider and assess Dacha's overall corporate strategy and the strategic and other alternatives available to it, with a view to implementing that corporate strategy and direction which maximizes long-term shareholder value for the benefit of Dacha's shareholders.
As part of the board reconstitution, Stan Bharti will no longer be serving as a director or officer of Dacha and G. Scott Moore will no longer be serving as Dacha's President and Chief Executive Officer. The six executives and consultants of Dacha who had change of control termination arrangements with Dacha have agreed, as part of the board reconstitution, to reduce the amounts payable to them such that an aggregate of $4.85 million will be paid by Dacha to those six executives and consultants in connection with the termination of their prior arrangements, which amounts will be secured over assets of Dacha until full payment thereof. Dacha and Forbes & Manhattan, Inc. have also agreed that Forbes & Manhattan, Inc. will provide certain consulting services to the board of directors of Dacha for six months for no consideration. As part of implementing the board transition, releases will be provided among the parties related to matters occurring up to the date of the board transition. As well, the Court application previously announced by Dacha against Goodwood and others in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice will be dismissed.

|The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey has identified a large number of new transient sources in a 300 deg2 region along the celestial equator during its first two seasons of a three-season campaign. Multi-band (ugriz) light curves were measured for most of the sources, which include solar system objects, Galactic variable stars, active galactic nuclei, supernovae (SNe), and other astronomical transients. The imaging survey is augmented by an extensive spectroscopic follow-up program to identify SNe, measure their redshifts, and study the physical conditions of the explosions and their environment through spectroscopic diagnostics. During the survey, light curves are rapidly evaluated to provide an initial photometric type of the SNe, and a selected sample of sources are targeted for spectroscopic observations. In the first two seasons, 476 sources were selected for spectroscopic observations, of which 403 were identified as SNe. For the Type Ia SNe, the main driver for the Survey, our photometric typing and targeting efficiency is 90%. Only 6% of the photometric SN Ia candidates were spectroscopically classified as non-SN Ia instead, and the remaining 4% resulted in low signal-to-noise, unclassified spectra. This paper describes the search algorithm and the software, and the real-time processing of the SDSS imaging data. We also present the details of the supernova candidate selection procedures and strategies for follow-up spectroscopic and imaging observations of the discovered sources.

Macgo has released its latest version of Mac Blu-ray Player, as a big breakthrough, which is compatible with Gatekeeper.
Beijing,China., August 17, 2014 - (PressReleasePoint) -With the progress and development of technology, computer has become a more and more dangerous space where personal safety is no longer perfectly guaranteed because of the external malicious attacks through virus e-mails, documents, software, etc. Some software downloaded and installed from the Internet could be the malware that may affect use's Mac, even the server, however, Gatekeeper can help Mac user against the attack from such software. Macgo Mac Blu-ray Player, as a secure media player for Blu-ray fans, now is compatible with Gatekeeper 10.9.5 and Yosemite 10.10, which allows Macgo to offer better service for Mac users as an identified creditworthy software developer.
Gatekeeper is a new feature in Mountain Lion and OS X Lion v10.7.5 that builds on OS X's existing malware checks to protect user's Mac from any widespread malicious software downloaded from the Internet. It controls over whatever software or App that users install on their Mac. Gatekeeper options can be found in Apple menu > System Preferences… > Security & Privacy > General tab > Allow applications downloaded from. There are all together three options as follows.
Mac App Store – Only allow apps that came from the Mac App Store can open. Mac App Store is the safest and most reliable place to download and install applications. These applications are reviewed and detected by Apple to see whether it's safe or not before it's accepted by the store. If the app is unqualified, Apple will remove it from the store.
Mac App Store and identified developers – Only allow apps that came from the Mac App Store and developers using Gatekeeper can open. For applications from developers other than Apple Store, developers can get a unique Developer ID from Apple and use it to digitally sign their applications. These applications are not reviewed by Apple, but if malicious activity is detected, Apple can revoke this developer's ID and block any applications from it in the future.
Anywhere – Allow any apps to open regardless of their sources, which will make user's Mac less safe.

text: Does your weight change in elevator? I have recently found an answer to this question but I can't understand it completely. So, here is the answer : No, your weight is unchanged. To provide the acceleration upwards, the floor or scale must exert on your feet an upward force that is greater in magnitude than your weight. It is this greater force that you fell, which you interpret as feeling heavier. The scale reads this upward force, not your weight, and so its reading increases. I can't understand how the force exerted by the floor on one's feet acts on the scale.

- A New Bound for the Midpoint Solution in Minmax Regret Optimization with an Application to the Robust Shortest Path Problem (2014)
- Minmax regret optimization aims at finding robust solutions that perform best in the worst-case, compared to the respective optimum objective value in each scenario. Even for simple uncertainty sets like boxes, most polynomially solvable optimization problems have strongly NP-hard minmax regret counterparts. Thus, heuristics with performance guarantees can potentially be of great value, but only few such guarantees exist. A very easy but effective approximation technique is to compute the midpoint solution of the original optimization problem, which aims at optimizing the average regret, and also the average nominal objective. It is a well-known result that the regret of the midpoint solution is at most 2 times the optimal regret. Besides some academic instances showing that this bound is tight, most instances reveal a way better approximation ratio. We introduce a new lower bound for the optimal value of the minmax regret problem. Using this lower bound we state an algorithm that gives an instance dependent performance guarantee of the midpoint solution for combinatorial problems that is at most 2. The computational complexity of the algorithm depends on the minmax regret problem under consideration; we show that the sharpened guarantee can be computed in strongly polynomial time for several classes of combinatorial optimization problems. To illustrate the quality of the proposed bound, we use it within a branch and bound framework for the robust shortest path problem. In an experimental study comparing this approach with a bound from the literature, we find a considerable improvement in computation times.
- Hypervolume Subset Selection in Two Dimensions: Formulations and Algorithms (2014)
- The hypervolume subset selection problem consists of finding a subset, with a given cardinality \(k\), of a set of nondominated points that maximizes the hypervolume indicator. This problem arises in selection procedures of evolutionary algorithms for multiobjective optimization, for which practically efficient algorithms are required. In this article, two new formulations are provided for the two-dimensional variant of this problem. The first is a (linear) integer programming formulation that can be solved by solving its linear programming relaxation. The second formulation is a \(k\)-link shortest path formulation on a special digraph with the Monge property that can be solved by dynamic programming in \(\mathcal{O}(n(k + \log n))\) time. This improves upon the \(\mathcal{O}(n^2k)\) result of Bader (2009), and matches the recent result of Bringmann et al. (2014), which was developed independently from this work using different techniques. Moreover, it is shown that these bounds may be further improved under mild conditions on \(k\).
- Nonlinear frequency response analysis of structural vibrations (2014)
- In this paper we present a method for nonlinear frequency response analysis of mechanical vibrations of 3-dimensional solid structures. For computing nonlinear frequency response to periodic excitations, we employ the well-established harmonic balance method. A fundamental aspect for allowing a large-scale application of the method is model order reduction of the discretized equation of motion. Therefore we propose the utilization of a modal projection method enhanced with modal derivatives, providing second-order information. For an efficient spatial discretization of continuum mechanics nonlinear partial differential equations, including large deformations and hyperelastic material laws, we use the isogeometric finite element method, which has already been shown to possess advantages over classical finite element discretizations in terms of higher accuracy of numerical approximations in the fields of linear vibration and static large deformation analysis. With several computational examples, we demonstrate the applicability and accuracy of the modal derivative reduction method for nonlinear static computations and vibration analysis. Thus, the presented method opens a promising perspective on application of nonlinear frequency analysis to large-scale industrial problems.
- Hypervolume Subset Selection in Two Dimensions: Formulations and Algorithms (2014)
- The hypervolume subset selection problem consists of finding a subset, with a given cardinality, of a nondominated set of points that maximizes the hypervolume indicator. This problem arises in selection procedures of population-based heuristics for multiobjective optimization, and for which practically efficient algorithms are strongly required. In this article, we provide two new formulations for the two-dimensional variant of this problem. The first is an integer programming formulation that can be solved by solving its linear relaxation. The second formulation is a \(k\)-link shortest path formulation on a special digraph with Monge property that can be solved by dynamic programming in \(\mathcal{O}(n^2)\) time complexity. This improves upon the existing result of \(O(n^3)\) in Bader.
- Edgeworth expansions for lattice triangular arrays (2014)
- Edgeworth expansions have been introduced as a generalization of the central limit theorem and allow to investigate the convergence properties of sums of i.i.d. random variables. We consider triangular arrays of lattice random vectors and obtain a valid Edgeworth expansion for this case. The presented results can be used, for example, to study the convergence behavior of lattice models.
- A multiscale model for pH-tactic invasion with time-varying carrying capacities (2014)
- We propose a model for acid-mediated tumor invasion involving two different scales: the microscopic one, for the dynamics of intracellular protons and their exchange with their extracellular counterparts, and the macroscopic scale of interactions between tumor cell and normal cell populations, along with the evolution of extracellular protons. We also account for the tactic behavior of cancer cells, the latter being assumed to biase their motion according to a gradient of extracellular protons (following [2,31] we call this pH taxis). A time dependent (and also time delayed) carrying capacity for the tumor cells in response to the effects of acidity is considered as well. The global well posedness of the resulting multiscale model is proved with a regularization and fixed point argument. Numerical simulations are performed in order to illustrate the behavior of the model.
- Isogeometric analysis of nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli beam vibrations (2013)
- In this paper we analyze the vibrations of nonlinear structures by means of the novel approach of isogeometric finite elements. The fundamental idea of isogeometric finite elements is to apply the same functions, namely B-Splines and NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines), for describing the geometry and for representing the numerical solution. In case of linear vibrational analysis, this approach has already been shown to possess substantial advantages over classical finite elements, and we extend it here to a nonlinear framework based on the harmonic balance principle. As application, the straight nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli beam is used, and overall, it is demonstrated that isogeometric finite elements with B-Splines in combination with the harmonic balance method are a powerful means for the analysis of nonlinear structural vibrations. In particular, the smoother k-method provides higher accuracy than the p-method for isogeometric nonlinear vibration analysis.
- An Inexact Interior Point Method for the Large-Scale Simulation of Granular Material (2013)
- Non-smooth contact dynamics provides an increasingly popular simulation framework for granular material. In contrast to classical discrete element methods, this approach is stable for arbitrary time steps and produces visually acceptable results in very short computing time. Yet when it comes to the prediction of draft forces, non-smooth contact dynamics is typically not accurate enough. We therefore propose to combine the method class with an interior point algorithm for higher accuracy. Our specific algorithm is based on so-called Jordan algebras and exploits the relation to symmetric cones in order to tackle the conical constraints that are intrinsic to frictional contact problems. In every interior point iteration a linear system has to be solved. We analyze how the interior point method behaves when it is combined with Krylov subspace solvers and incomplete factorizations. We show that efficient preconditioners and efficient linear solvers are essential for the method to be applicable to large-scale problems. Using BiCGstab as a linear solver and incomplete Cholesky factorizations, we substantially improve the accuracy in comparison to the projected Gauss-Jacobi solver.
- Monitoring time series based on estimating functions (2014)
- A large class of estimators including maximum likelihood, least squares and M-estimators are based on estimating functions. In sequential change point detection related monitoring functions can be used to monitor new incoming observations based on an initial estimator, which is computationally efficient because possible numeric optimization is restricted to the initial estimation. In this work, we give general regularity conditions under which we derive the asymptotic null behavior of the corresponding tests in addition to their behavior under alternatives, where conditions become particularly simple for sufficiently smooth estimating and monitoring functions. These regularity conditions unify and even extend a large amount of existing procedures in the literature, while they also allow us to derive monitoring schemes in time series that have not yet been considered in the literature including non-linear autoregressive time series and certain count time series such as binary or Poisson autoregressive models. We do not assume that the estimating and monitoring function are equal or even of the same dimension, allowing for example to combine a non-robust but more precise initial estimator with a robust monitoring scheme. Some simulations and data examples illustrate the usefulness of the described procedures.
- ADER schemes and high order coupling on networks of hyperbolic conservation laws (2013)
- In this article we present a method to extend high order finite volume schemes to networks of hyperbolic conservation laws with algebraic coupling conditions. This method is based on an ADER approach in time to solve the generalized Riemann problem at the junction. Additionally to the high order accuracy, this approach maintains an exact conservation of quantities if stated by the coupling conditions. Several numerical examples confirm the benefits of a high order coupling procedure for high order accuracy and stable shock capturing.

This past week, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont announced that he would enter the Democratic primaries to run for President. Given the amount of buildup, leaks, and hype before this in various sectors of the press, it was one of the least surprising announcements since Hillary Clinton's announcement. In the build-up to this, and now after the announcement, various "progressive" sites have been swooning over it. One of the common threads through them is that even if – and they'll admit it's more likely than not – he doesn't win the nomination, he'll "push Hillary (or whomever is the nominee) to the left." There's also a lot of chatter about the need to keep pushing the nominee to the left, to make sure they stay there. All of which is fine, except for what they ignore: It doesn't really matter how far to the left a presidential candidate is.

"Liberals" Keep Pushing The Wrong Way

Progressives? Don't Expect Your Issues to be My Issues
One of the first blog posts I wrote here was titled "No True Progressive," which looked at the ever-shifting goalposts used to determine just who (or what) was "progressive." I said back then that
You can see this on various left-wing blogs, if you look at the posts and comments. "President Obama is not a progressive, he hasn't" – fill in with whatever the writer thinks is the progressive stand. "Senator (name) voted for this bill, they're not a progressive!" When it's pointed out that on other issues the given politician is progressive, the goalpost will be moved to a new position which excludes that particular issue. "No true progressive" would do/vote for/say this!
I was reminded of that reading a recent post by Milt Shook over at his blog, "This is why we lose, Progressives." He's taking on a Daily Kos diary that supposedly takes to task some Senators for not being "Real Democrats."

Cargo Cult Politics
In the South Pacific, there's a set of beliefs which are known as "cargo cults." While they may seem ridiculous at times to Westerners, they make sense in terms of a society attempting to explain something in terms of that society.
Since the modern manufacturing process is unknown to them, members, leaders, and prophets of the cults maintain that the manufactured goods of the non-native culture have been created by spiritual means, such as through their deities and ancestors. These goods are intended for the local indigenous people, but the foreigners have unfairly gained control of these objects through malice or mistake.[9] Thus, a characteristic feature of cargo cults is the belief that spiritual agents will, at some future time, give much valuable cargo and desirable manufactured products to the cult members.[9]
Many of the rituals mimic what they saw during various times, particularly World War II. There are "airfield," "control towers," and so on, all designed to influence the gods to redirect the cargo to them. So what does that have to do with politics?

Elections Have Consequences. Remember?
Back in the heady days right after the 2008 election, there was a lot of gloating going on in various Democratic circles, particularly on the progressive blogs, about the Republicans whining about what "could happen." One of the sayings thrown back at them was the title of this post, "Elections have consequences." It can be put more rudely as "We won, you lost. It sucks to be you." There was a lot of chatter about a "permanent Democratic majority," and on the state scene here, discussions on how Democrats could take the last two Republican held seats in Congress. Looking back over the past 4 years, that was hubris, the "pride that goeth before a fall." You see, despite saying that elections have consequences, they didn't believe it.

Politics 300: The Horse Goes Before The Cart
In my post on "What's Next?" I talked about the "next step" for dealing with the police problems that are currently grabbing the nation's attention. In the comments, there were statements made about the Democratic Party's need to "reach out to activists, and invite them in." All well and good, but in many ways, it's a variant of a theme I've heard a lot of over the past few years from many on the left: That the Party needs to do something before they'll get involved with it. It's more often than not a case of putting the cart before the horse.

While there are many, many upcoming fashion collaborations for which we're ridiculously excited, some style team-ups seem so incredibly fitting, we actually wonder why they haven't happened sooner. Keds for Madewell is one such example.
We first glimpsed the three collaborative styles produced by the classic sneaker company and the preppy fashion brand late last week, and now the $50 rubber-soled kicks are finally available for purchase at Madewell.com.
It's hard to pick a favorite style between the blanket-striped, polka-dotted and sherbet-striped sneaks on offer, but these limited-edition tennis shoes will likely sell out fast. So grab 'em before they disappear!
