art projector guide
An art projector is a handy tool for artists of all skill levels. Photorealist painters traditionally used a projector to enlarge and transfer the image from their small photo onto a large canvas. In addition to projectors, there are also 2 other methods you can use: the grid method and transfer paper.
How do you decide which of these 3 methods is easiest for you? Read through these pages to compare and contrast the different methods and processes, starting with the almighty projector. Buying a projector can be a costly experience (depending on the type you want and whether you buy it new or used), so read through this page to help figure out which type of projector is best for your needs and your budget.
This page discusses 5 kinds of projectors:
LED Projector
The Artograph LED300 Digital Art Projector is a digital art projector that is receiving rave reviews from artists. If I were to buy an art projector now, this is the one I would get for several reasons:
- It works digitally, which means it can project photos from nearly any digital source: computers, memory cards, digital cameras, and even smartphones. If you create murals, all you need to do is hook up your laptop, camera or memory card to the LED300 and you can project an image! The advantage of this is that you don't need to print out the image or have a slide or transparency made (like people had to do in the "old days"!). It's super-convenient. The price includes a 5-in-1 card reader, which can read files from the 5 most popular SD cards. You can even play a digital movie file and pause it to trace a still!
- The Artograph LED300 can create sharp, clear images in almost any lighting situation, whereas other art projectors require a dark (if not pitch-black) room (which you can read about more below, when I discuss other types of art projectors). Since the LED300 can produce clear images even in a lighted room, this gives it a huge advantage over the other types of projectors.
- You can make big projections - over 80 inches (!) which is great for mural work or super-large paintings on canvas or wood panels.
- This projector is extremely portable (especially compared to many of the other projectors out there)! At only 6.3 inches across, 4.7 inches deep and 2.2 inches high, this projector is easy to transport to work, school, home, your studio, or anywhere you want to take it. Plus it weighs only 1.8 lbs. A storage bag is included.
- The LED300 as several image functions which may come in handy, such as changing a color image into black and white, or projecting a grid over the image, with 18 different custom grid layouts to choose from.
- The LED lamps are designed to last 30,000 hours, which means you won't have to worry about changing bulbs. If you use the projector for 2 hours every single day, it will last over 41 years!
- The LED300 is described as "maintenance free", which means you won't have to replace or maintain any parts.
- Artograph is a trusted brand that specializes in designing and manufacturing art projectors. I have owned one of their opaque projectors and its quality and usefulness give me confidence in the company's products.
- A final bonus is that this art projector can be used to create a home theater or game room, because it can play sound and project movies and video games on a large scale! You can also use it to make presentations or slideshows.
The only real downside I can see to the Artograph LED300 is the price - currently around $650. However, for serious artists and professionals (especially muralists or photorealists who want to create large-scale paintings), the LED300 may be well worth the money, given its quality, convenience and portability.
If you want the best-of-the-best you can look into the new Artograph LED1000 Digital Art Projector that does everything of the LED300 and more! It boasts 1000 lumens of brightness (compared to 300), full HD resolution, built in WiFi, and is compatible with virtually any digital device that can store media. It also allows you to make projections, in any lighting conditions, of up to 120 inches! But there's a catch, be prepared to pay almost $1,400. But when it comes to art projectors, you get what you pay for.
Opaque ProjectorIf you plan to do a large scale painting, you could also look into using an opaque projector, which will enlarge your image so that you can trace the outline.
Here's how to use an opaque projector:
You will need a small paper copy of your photograph, between 5 sq inches and 7 sq inches, depending on the size of your art projector's opening. Place the image in the opening, turn on the machine and turn off the lights in the room. Make sure you have enough space to be able to pull the machine far back if you need to make a really big version. The projected image will appear on the wall, so you'll need to position your canvas securely on the wall, and arrange the projector so that the enlarged image fits correctly within the size of the canvas. This might take some fiddling to get it just right. Double-check that the canvas is perfectly straight and flat against the wall, and that the projector rests perfectly flat upon its surface - otherwise the picture will turn out slightly distorted. You can see the illustration below for an idea of how it all works.
You'll need to make sure that the art projector stays in place the entire time as you are drawing the image. Keep the dogs, cats and tiny children out of the room. The slightest nudge of the projector will knock the projection out of alignment, and it may or may not be easy to realign the projection with your previous tracings. You don't want to take any chances! For the same reason, make sure you have enough time to trace the whole thing in one go.
Pros and cons to using opaque projectors
The pros to using an opaque projector is that it is an easy way to enlarge to a really big scale - anything over at least 18" x 24". If you plan to work on a scale that is 16" x 20" or smaller, I would suggest using one of the other methods of transferring the image (grid method or transfer paper). Also, all you need is a print-out of the image, and not a slide or transparency.
The cons to using an opaque projector are (1) the expense and (2) the need for a dark room. Let's look at these 2 points further:
- It's probably only worth investing in an art projector (of any type) if you think it will get a lot of use. Projectors cost anywhere between $50 for a basic one up to $650 for a really professional one. You do get what you pay for - the cheaper ones will not be able to project as much detail or produce as much clarity as the more expensive models. The more expensive projectors will produce an image that is bright, sharp and easy to trace. Keep this in mind, as it is important - it can be frustrating not being able to see all the tiny details if you need to. I've used a projector of average quality and price (around $125-150), and I enlarged an image to 16" x 20", and still some areas were blurry and needed to be pencilled in later using good old-fashioned hand and eye coordination. I suppose that if I had enlarged the image a lot more, to 30" x 40" or so, there would have less tiny detail and then perhaps the projector would have suited my needs better.
- Opaque projectors require a really dark room for you to be able to see the projection clearly. This can be annoying or downright difficult - although if you need to, you'll probably learn to adapt and make the best of it (which is what I did). If you can spend a few extra bucks, consider getting an LED projector like the Artograph LED300, which doesn't need a dark room to produce crystal-clear results and has loads of other perks as well.
There are a range of Opaque Projectors available, ranging from about $90 to $400+. Here's a handy Comparison Chart on DickBlick. If you're on a budget or are a beginner, I'd recommend the Gagne Projector. If you're more serious and looking for a mid-priced opaque projector, you should consider the Artograph Designer Projector, the Artograph Prism, and the Gagne Trace-Master. And if you're willing to pay top dollar, try the Gagne Trace-Master Deluxe, which features a high quality 5 element lens, and is recommended for professionals.

Slide Projector
The original Photorealists of the late 1960s and 70s commonly used slide projectors to enlarge their images. They would have slides made of their photographs, insert the slide into a slide projector and trace the enlarged image onto their canvas. The process is basically the same as using an opaque projector, only you will need to have a slide made of your photo. In the US, Slides.com is a convenient and inexpensive way to get slides made from digital files.
You will also need a slide projector. You can acquire either new or used slide projectors from Ebay or Amazon. The used ones often sell at a deep discount to the original price. Although I haven't used a slide projector myself for the purpose of tracing the enlarged image, I imagine that a crisp, clear slide inside a good slide projector should make a really accurate enlargement that would be easier to trace than the projection you would get from of a middle-range opaque projector.
Important Tip When Using Slide Projectors:
LCD Projector or DLP Projector
Another type of projector you can use is an LCD or DLP projector that you can connect directly to your laptop. These projectors cost several hundred to several thousand dollars, so again, it's only worth investing in one if you know it'll be getting a lot of use. The added benefits of an LPD projector or DLP projector is that they can also be used to play videos or give presentations, so there is more potential for them to be used for entertainment or work purposes than a slide projector or opaque projector. However, if you have access to an LCD or DLP projector via school or work, perhaps you could use one of their machines for free. Doesn't hurt to ask!
Overhead Projector
When I was a student in school, all the teachers used overhead projectors to project their lessons onto the wall, and the images were always quite crisp and clear. This makes them an excellent candidate for enlarging reference photos!
To use an overhead projector, you will need a transparency of your reference photo. These days you can get inkjet transparencies that go through your home printer, so you can quickly and easily print them off yourself. The downside is that overhead projectors do cost a few hundred smackeroos, and there's a good chance that you may not get much use out of them, other than to enlarge your photos. This is fine if you'll be enlarging all the time, but mostly you'll be spending your time painting! I would suggest only investing in one if you would use it also for school or work purposes. On that note, if you have one at your school or work, why not ask to borrow it?

Well, it's Groundhog Day, again. And that is just coincident with the Release 2.2 of M-Cork.
I'd suggest you monitor the project [click below on "Monitor This Forum" presuming it's visible] so that you'll be kept abreast of any updates.
The next two items on the agenda are:
(1) Add some meaningful documentation for feature use and for deciphering the report file, and
(2) Enhance and commit the test cases; to date most of the tests are one-off and rely on the tester to parse the report manually.

Category Archives: Movie Madness
A look at the movies I'm looking forward to this month.
30 Minutes or Less: A classy broad's review
When I first saw the preview of 30 Minutes or Less, I knew I wanted the movie to be awesome. In fact, I was afraid of how awesome I wanted it to be. The cast looked amazing: Jesse Eisenberg, Aziz Ansari, Danny McBride, and Nick Swardson. And the premise was ridiculous and a little violent: two weird, dumb, criminal, best friends, Dwayne (McBride) and Travis (Swardson) kidnap a pizza delivery guy (Eisenberg), strap a bomb to his chest and force him to rob a bank so they can pay off a hit man to kill Dwayne's lottery winning father to claim his inheritance.
Nick Swardson plays an unlikely straight man in his role as Travis, whose bomb making expertise is essential to the heist McBride's Dwayne concocts after a money hungry stripper, Juicy, played by Bianca Kajlich, hints that she knows a guy who could get rid of his problem father and make them both rich. The only problem? Dwayne needs 100 grand to pay off the hit man and chaos ensues. Travis is somehow the voice of reason several times throughout the film, being a good person at heart and not really wanting to hurt anyone, yet still fearful of the strong and dumb minded Dwayne.
Aziz Ansari and Jesse Eisenberg also play a pair of best friends, Chet and Nick, respectively, since high school who are struggling as one has gotten his life together (Chet) and the other (Nick) is content in loserdom, delivering pizza's and working for a total asshole. Nick (Eisenberg) is also hopelessly in love with his best friend's twin sister, who just got a job in another state, sending him into a hopeless tailspin of self hatred that he projects onto Chet (Ansari) and after a particularly brutal fight, filled with harsh truths about their friendship, the two part ways. But their separation is brief after Nick is kidnapped, strapped with a bomb and realizes he has no one else to turn to but to Chet.
Both sets of friendships are put to the test in this intense and hilarious comedy, which, while it's premise is about a dude who gets forced to rob a bank, it's also about sometimes tumultuous friendships that develop and how in truth, you can tell when you've got someone in your corner, because they're there when shit gets crazy.
The performances in this film are truly what make it work so well. While initially, Jesse Eisenberg delivers his lines with the same cadence and intensity as he did in The Social Network, he ultimately wins you over with the honesty of how his character got to where he is. Aziz Ansari brings the same, sharp tounged, wit that dazzles me to no end on Parks and Recreation, all the while bringing real emotion to the hesitation and liberation he feels as he helps guide his friend through a life or death situation. Nick Swardson and Danny McBride work so amazingly well as team, clearly headed up by McBride's Dwayne. Their idiocy and uneven friendship work so well as their performances are, while brash and broad characters, still subtle and believable.
I wanted this movie to kick ass. I wanted it to be funny, and violent, and goofy and awesome. And it was. There's even a little love story that includes Dilshad Vadsaria as Kate, Chet's twin sister. So there's a little something in there for everybody. I should also mention, the film was shot and set in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which was fun to spot the scenery I recognized. It also made me love the film even more.
30 Minutes or Less
Rated: R
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Danny McBride, Aziz Ansari, and Nick Swardson,
My Rating (On a scale of A to F): A
Spoiler-Free Captain America Geekout
This summer, I loved Harry Potter and I really enjoyed Thor, but Captain America is what I've been waiting for since I was 7. I am an unabashed Cap fanboy, and have been for as long as I can remember. This summer has been a countdown to Cap for me, and my wait finally ended this last night. Holy crap did I love this movie. Do not expect a blow-by-blow story breakdown or analysis of the finer points of technique. I am about to geek the fuck out.
This movie made me giddy, like I wish the Star Wars prequels had. Every frame on the screen was my childhood coming to life. The special effects were phenomenal, if I didn't know better, I'd swear they starved Chris Evans and shrunk him to play skinny Steve Rogers. The shield slinging was so cool, which was important, because without it, this wouldn't have been a true Captain America movie.
The character were all spot-on. Captain America has always been my favorite because he was just a regular kid who was given the ability to be a hero, and always knew the right thing to do and how to do it. They pulled that off perfectly. Chris Evans was awesome in the role, both as the determined, awkward weakling, and as the great hero. Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull was brilliant, too. He was evil, menacing, and not too over-the top. The Howling Commandos were great, though I wish they had mentioned them by name.
I didn't mind any of the little changes they made to the original story, everything worked for me, and I think allowed them to tell a cleaner story, rather than having to explain a lot of unnecessary back stories.
There were some cool nods to the comics, too, like the way we first see Arnim Zola. The Stan Lee cameo was quick, but funny and didn't take away from the story. The use of the comic style Captain America uniform was also a great nod, and made great sense in the context of the movie.
The only complaint I have is that the movie was over too quickly. As it was wrapping up, I suddenly realized it was about to be over, and very much wished it was longer. Also, don't forget to stay after the credits. The post-credits sequence is awesome.
One final note, I have never been to a movie where I have seen more people wearing T-shirts featuring the character from the movie. There was even a little kid wearing a full Captain America costume, who had his picture taken with me because he liked my Cap costume hoodie so much.
Happy Birthday, America!
Woo! I was going to post the Team America theme song, but decide maybe we should be the only web site that doesn't do that today. Instead, enjoy the trailer for Captain America, which is going to kick ass all over the place in a couple of weeks.
God damn, i can't wait for that movie.
E.T: Jedi?
My five-year-old son Alex came home a few days ago insisting that he had learned from his friends that E.T. "Has the Force." My wife chalked it up to him being cute and a believer in all things Star Wars, but he insisted it was true. Of course, she decided she'd show him by ordering E.T. from Netflix.
My wife and I had not seen E.T. since it was originally released 19 years ago, so the details were fuzzy, but she was sure he was no Jedi. Well, we watched the movie, and Alex is more convinced than ever that E.T. "Has the Force," but now I agree with him.
In the movie, E.T. displays telekinetic powers, not unlike a Jedi might manipulate his surroundings with the Force.
Additionally, E.T. passes a kid dressed up as Yoda for Halloween, and tries to follow him, saying "Home, home." It appears he recognizes Yoda, or at least his species.
Then of course, a delegation of E.T's species is visible in Star Wars episode I.
This may not be a new idea, but I am now convinced that E.T. does exist in the same universe as Star Wars, and that while E.T. may not be Jedi, he, and maybe his entire species, is at least Force-sensitive.
Alex and his friends were right.
Movies I Won't Be Seeing This Summer
Summer 2011 is shaping up to be a pretty awesome time for movies, especially if you love all things nerdy. Who ever thought we'd see Thor, X-Men First Class, Green Lantern, Harry Potter and Captain America movies all in one summer? It's a great time to be a geek. Sadly, though, into every summer falls a few garbage family movies. As I've stated before, I'm the father of two young boys, and am bombarded with advertisements for things people are trying to sell them. Lately, it's been movie ads.
These are worst I've seen this year:
Mr Popper's Penguins
What a piece of crap this looks like. I can hear the Hollywood brain trust coming up with this one:
"They're penguins, What should we call them?"
"Well, what do they do?"
"One is kind of loud."
"One bites Jim Carrey a lot."
And so on… My 5-year old could have come up with more imaginative names. Yeahbsolutely.
The Zoo Keeper, or Night at the Museum at the Zoo:
"Hey, kids like the King of Queens guy, right? …and funny animals? …and T.G.I. Fridays?"
The girl won't marry him because he's a zookeeper? Really? Don't you have to have a degree to do that?
I'm going to make a bold prediction about this one. He realizes the blonde girl is a bitch and ends up with Rosario Dawson. Credits.
I will not be taking my family to either of these CGI animal turds. Luckily, they haven't shown interest in either, I guess I'm raising them right.
Kung Fu Panda 2 Review
This weekend I took my kids (3 and 5 year old boys) to see Kung Fu Panda 2, which, as the TV ads think is very important to remind me, stars Jack Black as the lead character Po.
In this sequel, Po and the Furious Five must defend China against the evil peacock Lord Shen, his secret weapon, and his army of wolves. Po is a kung fu master straight from the beginning of the movie, and while he bumbles through parts of his adventure, his character has changed grown up a little since the first movie. Of course, though, Po must learn a valuable lesson about himself and kung fu in order to save the day. It's not the most original plot, following the first one's formula pretty closely, but it's a fun movie to take the kids to.
The movie delivers on beautiful animation, cool action sequences, including a fun chase scene through the city, and the usual over-the-top kung fu fights, including plenty of Furious Five action. Of course, it's a comedy, and there are some good laughs in there, too (thankfully, a few less easy fat jokes than the last one). The flashback sequences deliver some handsome stylized 2D animation, which I liked as a device to show kids the difference between present day andPo's memories.
Several jokes are recycled from the first movie, though not as many as you might expect from a kids' animated movie trying to stick to a formula. It seems pretty obvious, too, that they're setting the franchise up for another sequel at the end of this one. It's also worth sitting through the credits, there is no Skeletor-type post credits moment, but the entire sequence is shown against a pretty cool changing art backdrop.
Overall I enjoyed it, and my boys loved it. I had a hard time keeping my enthusiastic 3 year old in his seat during the fight scenes. If you or your kids liked the original, I recommend seeing the Kung Fu Panda 2.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 trailer
OK, I know I'm a few weeks late on this one, but give me a break. I'm new to this site and blogging in general.
The trailer for the final installment in the Harry Potter Octology (is that a word?) was released, and has Potter-heads everywhere all atwitter, myself included. I'm a late comer to the Harry Potter world, having waited until my wife made me watch the first 6 movies before I ever cracked one of the books, but I am a full-on Potter nerd now. The trailer is beautiful, and gives us glimpses of some of the coolest parts of the book brought to life. I'll try to stay spoiler-free, but I make no promises, especially if you haven't seen the previous movies.
In this final chapter, it's a race for Harry and friends to complete their mission begun in part one, the destruction of Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes, the items that he has imbued with a piece of his soul in an effort to live forever, and to then vanquish him once and for all. Right away, the familiar theme music brings us back into the magical world. The Voldemort voice-over sets the tone, reminding us this is no longer a kids' movie series, these characters are grown up now and are dealing with some dark, life-or-death situations. The trailer then gives us glimpses of the roller-coaster ride into the Gringott's vault, a dragon, Death-eaters galore, wizards flinging spells all over, and a whole bunch of stuff on fire. Only one thing bugs me, I don't remember the scene with Harry and Voldemort falling off a bridge in the book, so that may be a movie add-on, please correct me if I'm wrong. Everything leads up to the battle of Hogwarts, which we see bits of, not enough to spoil anything, but enough to give those of us who already know what happens glimpses of all the things we are hoping to see.
This movie should shut up anyone who called the last one slow or boring. Everything that I can remember that is left of the story is non-stop excitement and action, which is what the trailer seems to show. There will be battles, there will be death, and there will be fire and explosions. Characters will meet their fates and fulfill their destinies. In the end only one can survive – the Chosen One or the Dark Lord.
Yes, many of us have read the books, but seeing it alive on screen is something completely different. Between this and Captain America, July can't come soon enough for this nerd. I'm excited, are you?

Andrew Lang's Fairy Books — also known as Andrew Lang's "Coloured" Fairy Books or Andrew Lang's Fairy Books of Many Colors — are a series of twelve collections of fairy tales, published between 1889 and 1910. Each volume is distinguished by its own color. In all, 437 tales from a broad range of cultures and countries are presented.
Andrew Lang (1844–1912) was a Scots poet, novelist, and literary critic. Although he did not collect the stories himself from oral primary sources only he and Madame d'Aulnoy have collected tales from such a large variety of sources. These collections have been immensely influential. Lang gave many of the tales their first appearance in English. As acknowledged in the prefaces, although Lang himself made most of the selections, his wife and other translators did a large portion of the translating and retelling of the actual stories.
According to Anita Silvey, "The irony of Lang's life and work is that although he wrote for a profession—literary criticism; fiction; poems; books and articles on anthropology, mythology, history, and travel…he is best recognized for the works he did not write."[1]
The books were primarily illustrated by Henry J. Ford. Lancelot Speed and G. P. Jacomb-Hood also contributed some illustrations.[citation needed]

Origin and influence[edit]
Lang's urge to gather and publish fairy tales was rooted in his own experience with the folk and fairy tales of his home territory along the English-Scottish border. At the time he worked, English fairy-tale collections were rare: Dinah Maria Mulock Craik's The Fairy Book (1869) was a lonely precedent. When Lang began his efforts, he "was fighting against the critics and educationists of the day", who judged the traditional tales' "unreality, brutality, and escapism to be harmful for young readers, while holding that such stories were beneath the serious consideration of those of mature age".[2] Over a generation, Lang's books worked a revolution in this public perception.
The series was immensely popular, helped by Lang's reputation in folklore, and by the packaging device of the uniform books. The series proved of great influence in children's literature, increasing the popularity of fairy tales over tales of real life.[3] It inspired such imitators as English Fairy Tales (1890) and More English Fairy Tales (1894) by Joseph Jacobs. Other followers included the American The Oak-Tree Fairy Book (1905), The Elm-Tree Fairy Book (1909) and The Fir-Tree Fairy Book (1912), series edited by Clifton Johnson and the collections of Kate Douglas Wiggin and Nora Archibald Smith.
Some of Lang's collected stories were included without any attribution at all (e.g., "The Blue Mountains"), and the rest are listed with brief notes. When this is "Grimm" or "Madame d'Aulnoy" or attributed to a specific collection, the stories can be tracked down, but other notes are less helpful. For instance, "The Wonderful Birch" is listed only as "From the Russo-Karelian".
Lang repeatedly explained in the prefaces that the tales he told were all old, and not his, and that he found new fairy tales no match for them:
But the three hundred and sixty-five authors who try to write new fairy tales are very tiresome. They always begin with a little boy or girl who goes out and meets the fairies of polyanthuses and gardenias and apple blossoms: "Flowers and fruits, and other winged things". These fairies try to be funny, and fail; or they try to preach, and succeed. Real fairies never preach or talk slang. At the end, the little boy or girl wakes up and finds that he has been dreaming.
Such are the new fairy stories. May we be preserved from all the sort of them!
The collections were specifically intended for children, and, as Lang explained in the prefaces to the books, bowdlerised. J.R.R. Tolkien, in his "On Fairy-Stories" (1939) stated that while he appreciated the collections, he objected to his editing the stories for children. He also criticized Lang for including stories without magical elements in them, with "The Heart of a Monkey" given as an example. Here, unlike "The Giant Who Had No Heart in His Body" or other similar stories, the monkey merely claims that his heart is outside his body. However, many fairy tale collectors include tales with no strictly marvelous elements.[citation needed]

This is absolutely wonderful! I also added a Mexican cheese blend of shredded cheese.
*6* stars....easily! (I've never wanted to rate something higher than 5 before, but this turned out to be a *spectacularly good* soup. Had my butcher halve an excellent smoked ham shank, added a diced carrot, used 2 chipotle chiles (seeded - NO sauce. Browned flour in with veggies, and didn't bother to blend - like the texture. Most importantly, used 1/2 sharp cheddar and 1/2 *smoked* gruyere cheese. Oh my....! UNreal. THANKS!
Wonderful soup. This one is a keeper.It smelt great and I was so hungry that I forgot to add the cheese. The next time I had it with a tex mex cheese with jalopenos and I think it was actually better without it. There is enough flavour already and adding the cheese made it too salty and of course added fat and calories. If it doesn't really add anything to the taste, why add the cheese?
Wow, this is tasty and has great depth of flavour! I had trouble getting the meat off the bone to add in so I supplemented with leftover ham chunks near the end of the cooking. I used a whole dried chili because I didn't have the chilis in adobo sauce but it didn't give it any heat so I added chipotle hot sauce (President's Choice) until it had the warmth we were looking for (had to add much more than a tablespoon to have any impact). Adding this to my favourite recipes - thanks!
This soup is delicious! I just used freezer leftover ham chunks and roasted garlic that I keep in my freezer, I used canned adobo and increased the cheese slightly, my DH will enjoy this for lunch! thanks Rita...Kitten:)
Really enjoyed this!!!! Has a nice mild heat.
This was really good, the flavor reminded me a lot of scalloped potatoes. I used half gruyere and half cheddar and added a diced carrot as another reviewer had. I had to substitute chipotle hot sauce for the pepper and adobo since my grocery store didn't carry it.
Yum! This was great. I used cream in place of the milk - just about a cup because it was already the texture we liked. Delicious!
Not a gourmet meal, but great tasting! I had to leave out the celery and bell pepper since we didn't have any. I also used some diced cooked ham in place of the ham bone and added it in the end with the cheese. I'm sure it would be that much better with the ham bone! I made half a recipe which I thought made about 3-4 servings. Thanks for posting!
This soup was great! I had a large ham bone so made 6 c broth and added 1/4 cup heavy cream then increased the recipe by 50%. Used only 2 chipotle chilis and no adobo sauce--any more and it would have been too spicy. Definitely on the repeat list...

"Society" is a construct -- a synthetic, invented concept which does not truly correspond with anything in real life; it is completely a product of modernity. Previously, while such an invention or a phenomenon could not be seen, nation-states felt the need for societies, and thus social sciences, particularly sociology, invented and constructed this idea.
German sociologist Ferdinand Tönnies (1855-1936) in the differentiation he made between "Gemeinschaft" (community) and "Gesellschaft" (society), as well as comparative analysis, formulated a great manipulation by social sciences. The modern state, in line with its basic assumptions and foresight, which its existence depends on, made man into "individuals" detached from historical and organic structures, as well as from his own real refuges and support systems. The state then reconfigured these people together from scratch, realizing the construction of what we call "society."
Society, contrary to what is commonly held and argued, is necessarily a homogeneous, united, entire and monolithic structure. There cannot be any differences within society because differences threaten the monolithic goals; they are thus desired to be done away with. After society comes into existence, as a political and legal extension of this, a "nation" emerges. As in the relationship of the state-nation, sometimes "society" gains priority over the nation and sometimes this is vice versa. Afterwards, the state views society through public law, which is the legal format of the state, resetting differences and variations in society and thus, legitimizing the financial and legal grounds that will allow for its existence.
If society does not have an ontological, historical truth and a real counterpart in life, then human reality that is "essential and primary" must exist in the life of man. In this respect, what is essential and primary in the life of man are communities. The modern mindset feels an incomprehensible discomfort upon hearing the word "community," despite the fact that it has a natural tendency towards it, and holds the belief that this is concept is only peculiar to religions and tribal structures. The notion of a community should not be based on blood ties (that of family, clans and tribes). Every group that comes together around an idea, philosophy or religious belief is also a community. A community could be secular, just as it could be religious.
While this was formally the case, real communities always arose from religions and it was religions that best protected and developed humanity. Muslim historian Ibn Khaldun connects humanity's convening (or coming together) to two reasons: The first is tied to ancestral reasons; that is blood and family. The other is "reason," a shared desire, wish, goal or purpose. The second reason, when compared to the first, requires a higher level of intellectual and moral effort. People connected purely on the level of blood clash as time goes on. As they gravitate toward a higher moral effort, however, they move toward humanity's prosperity and goodness. Religion is the highest expression of this effort and the last religion, Islam, reflects this.
Every one of the civil society institutions today desires to be a community before the state's totalitarian pressure. From now on, the historical process will proceed in the direction of communities and away from societies. This phenomenon cannot be ignored in the human domain that is non-Western and has traditional structures alone, but in Western societies like America, France, England and Germany, which are at the heart of modern Western cultures.
This is different from tribalism. Social scientists and intellectuals who promote their ideologies cause agitation by showing this universal tendency as tribalism. This development rips apart and disjoints with certainty the cultural tools that make up the secular or national character. What will come to the fore, as natural expressions, are communities and cities which are their centers.
Similarly, the connection made between communities and the wild, village or nomadic life has no history or basis for humanity. The nation-state universalized the historical category in which it arose, relegating the extended family, which is the foundation of civilizations and urban life, communities and the larger-scale human assemblages to a sort of primitiveness. In fact, in the much more extensive and ancient history of mankind, we see that the transformation of the nomadic and village life opened the door to city life and civilization. From the two universal categories one is nomadism and small village life and the other is city-life and civilization. Society is not seen in either of the two human categories. Society and the nation can be overcome, but the city and civilization will carry on.

Town fighting FEMA rejectionJuly 17,2013
BENNINGTON Bennington has appealed the federal governments decision not to reimburse the town for work on a flood wall after Tropical Storm Irene.
The August 2011 storm damaged a levee between North Branch and Park streets that had been built by the Army Corps of Engineers. Concerned that the damage could cause flooding, the town completed repair work that cost $214,000, the Bennington Banner reported.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency rejected the towns request for reimbursement, saying the corps was responsible for the work. The town said the corps was unable to respond quickly enough.
That was probably one of the most dangerous things. So we have filed an appeal for that, said Bennington Planning Director Daniel Monks.
Its expected to be several months before FEMA rules on the appeal.
The town also is expected to appeal the amount of money it received for sediment removal from the Roaring Brook.
Were still dealing with the sediment amount and armor issue. They just threw a number at it and didnt look at the actual numbers. We have evidence about what we spent, Monks said.MORE IN Vermont News

Jeff Bass was born in Shaker Heights, Ohio May 16, 1961. As a child he enjoyed sports and music.
"Lose Yourself," written by BMI affiliates Eminem and Jeff Bass, won the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 75th Academy Awards ceremony in Hollywood. The song was featured in the film 8 Mile, which starred Eminem in his movie debut. Eminem and Bass previously shared a Grammy Award for 1999's Best Rap Album, The Slim Shady LP.
Current Projects/Jeff Bass Music[edit]
Establishing Jeff Bass Music in 2006, Jeff has produced and written for many artists. His Detroit-area studios are a "home away from home" for the performers who set the standard of excellence in the music industry. His roster of artists reads like a "who's who" list of America's best-known performers.Click here for a current discography.

My contribution to Spirit day. I did wear purple on the 20th(even though I didn't know it was spirit day till lunch). I wanted to do something more, so I took this photo.
Love is a universal emotion after all.
Love is a universal emotion after all.
What's the right girl's expression? All I see is something white spread across her mouth, which quite frankly looks like she's grinning like a crazy person.
Aw. Very interesting. What is spirit day to you?
This is just perfect. It really is an embodiment of spirit and unity in general.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Pretty neat, glad to see you knew it was spirit day, I didn't know till bout 10 PM last night, kinda too late then eh?

Your financial and prayer support allows us to change lives everyday. Below is an example of one changed life:
Thank you for making this life-changing investment!
Been listening to the station today as usual, and heard the spot about if you're feeling down, discouraged, etc., the station will play music that will set our minds on things above…… I've probably said this before, but I wanted to say it again. Can't tell you the number of times I've been so thankful for the station being here.
I've run into some tough spots, both personally inside and out in the world. I turn on the station as soon as I can, to bring me back to that place of peace, to "connect" with God, and to know that everything is going to be alright. It's where I feel at peace, and it's like God is talking to me through the songs. I don't know what I would do if the station wasn't here, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

Slideshow: Athlete Prom Pics
Natalie Coughlin, 12-time Olympic swimming medalist
"I had North Coast Section Championships that day, so I hustled from finals to my hair-and-makeup appointment. I absolutely hated how it was done, so I washed it all off and my mom redid my hair. I didn't wear any makeup other than some mascara."

Andre Williams, New York Giants running back
"Dad let me hold the keys for the night, my tuxedo was fly, my date was ready ... here I go!"
Lexi Thompson, pro golfer
"It was an honor to have Lance Corporal Mark Scott be my date for my high school prom. That day couldn't have been more perfect -- everything from working with the famous celebrity stylist Sophia Banks on my overall look for the evening to learning how to shoot guns at the range and racing go-karts with Mark. The whole experience was amazing. We had so much fun dancing, and it was a night I will always remember."
Mike Bryan, pro tennis player
"My brother is going to marry your sister in 15 years!"
Chiney Ogwumike, Connecticut Sun forward
"I was glad I found a dress long enough. My mom picked out everything, and to this day, she has been my biggest style influence!"
Alexandra Raisman, three-time Olympic gymnastics medalist
"My favorite part of prom was being able to see my school friends. It was two months before the Olympics, so I didn't have much of a social life at that point. I was happy to be able to distract myself for the night and have some fun!"
T.J. McFarland, Baltimore Orioles pitcher
"The night I knew she was (and still is) out of my league." (McFarland and his prom date, Jenna Jones, are currently engaged.)
Christen Press, U.S. Women's National Team forward
"I try to avoid high school pictures as much as possible, but I can't help but smile at photos of my high school boyfriend, Nima Majd, and me. We are friends for life, and he's promised to propose if we are both single and 35 ... Don't worry, he has a better haircut these days."
Devon Kennard, New York Giants linebacker
"Cracking jokes about how I was the only one in a white suit with one of my closest childhood friends, Michael Flemister."
Madison Keys (left), with fellow pro tennis player Lauren Davis (right)
"Getting ready to dance the night away!"
Odyssey Sims, Tulsa Shock guard

John Isner, pro tennis player

Hilary Knight, U.S. women's hockey forward
"This is from our sixth-form formal. At my high school we didn't have prom, but we did have formal dances."
Janet Evans, five-time Olympic swimming medalist
"I had our state high school meet the afternoon of the prom, and my high school boyfriend picked me up in the limo from the swimming pool because I got changed in the locker room! I was happy to be done with a long day of swimming and excited that I actually made it to prom on time!"
Stefanie Dolson, Washington Mystics center
"This was my basketball teammates' senior ball, but they brought me with them."
Jessica Hardy, two-time Olympic swimming medalist
"I went to prom with fellow 2012 Olympian Chay Lapin, the goalie for men's water polo. We look nerdy as ever!"
Becky Sauerbrunn, U.S. Women's National Team Defender
"My junior prom date, Jon Arnstein, was a good friend of mine throughout high school. Even though we went on to different colleges (he went to Duke -- yuck!) and live across the country from one another, I can always count on a text here or there congratulating me on a game or making a roster."
Bridget Sloan, Olympic gymnastics medalist
"I was thinking that my date, Austin, was making me look pale ... so good thing that I was going to college in Florida!"
Kelsey Griffin, Connecticut Sun forward
"That night I actually danced so much that the straps that crossed down the back of my dress broke ... but it didn't stop me from busting a move. I went to the bathroom quickly with my friends, and they tied the loose ends together. We returned and danced through 'til the very last song."
Sam Querrey, pro tennis player
"I hope I don't look too awkward on the dance floor."
Theresa Plaisance, Tulsa Shock forward
"Wow! I can't believe this guy is taller than me!"
Samantha Peszek, Olympic gymnastics medalist
"I remember that prom night as being one of my favorite high school memories. I loved getting ready, having an amazing date and dancing all night!"
Nage Melamed (right), pro surfer
"This was my first and last prom, since I home-schooled from seventh grade onward because of my surfing career. I third-wheeled with one of my best friends from elementary school. I was probably thinking that I wish I had had a boy ask me -- but that it probably wouldn't happen until my next lifetime."
Jack Sock, pro tennis player
"The only time I was in town for a high school dance was with this lovely girl at prom. Memories for life."
Steph Davis, pro rock climber
"White heels + grass = never a good idea ..."
Nicole Gibbs, pro tennis player
"Enjoy the awkwardnesssss ..."
Monica Wright, Minnesota Lynx guard
"Awkwardly taller than my date and you can see my shoes on purpose. LOL."
Chellsie Memmel, Olympic gymnastics medalist
"My prom date, Andy, and I in spring 2005. He did gymnastics for a while, which is how I knew him, and we actually took a few pictures in the gym -- it seemed fitting! Though I think at the time I was thinking, 'I can't believe I'm in the gym in a dress!'"

In Tuesday's New York Times online edition, the paper's neo-neo-con columnist Ross Douthat laid out a sprawling argument that seemed to conclude that pro-choice activists and the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade ruling were responsible for violence against women's healthcare providers, including the murder of Dr. George Tiller last week. "If anything, by enshrining a near-absolute right to abortion in the Constitution, the pro-choice side has ensured that the hard cases are more controversial than they otherwise would be," wrote Douthat, who argued that One reason there's so much fierce argument about the latest of late-term abortions–Should there be a […]

Spinning the Sotomayor Abortion Debate in the NYT
Charlie Savage did some good reporting on the Bush signing statements, but his front-page story in today's New York Times on reproductive rights groups' reaction to Sotomayor is way off course. His lead explains that abortion rights advocates are worried about Sotomayor, because "when she has written opinions that touched tangentially on abortion disputes, she has reached outcomes in some cases that were favorable to abortion opponents." OK, so what are those opinions? Here's what he names: She ruled in favor of the Bush administration's reinstatement of the global gag rule; she ruled that anti-abortion protesters could take police to […]

Loki rebalancing
I've recently changed up my streaks and am trying for the Loki kills patch. Like a number of comments I've read, I'm pretty underwhelmed by this streak and consistently get more kills with the helo pilot which seems a little daft.
The reason it does not kill is overhead cover. Sensibly, most opponents when they hear a loki is online head to a building and sit it out. Unlike the helo pilot, you can't get angles into rooms with the Loki, meaning you just have to fire beside buildings and hope.
So I have an idea. Make it so that firing directly down on buildings gives some splash damage to anyone sitting in there. I'm not suggesting it is a one hit kill, but it should weaken considerably. To balance the game, if the guy calling in the Loki is killed, then the streak is immediately ended.
I think this would encourage more dynamic play. In a team facing a Loki, do you try and stick it out in buildings, or do you hunt down the person controlling it? At the moment, a Loki tends to equal a minute (or however long it lasts) of sedentary gameplay with teams just sitting there waiting for the streak timer to run down. I think this might add more of a strategic element, plus slightly buff the highest assault streak in the game.
Let me know your thoughts or indeed if you have any other suggestions.

A name like Rhett Rakhshani carries echoes of "Rocket" Richard, about as hockey as you can get. But with Iranian family roots and a Southern California background, one might think Rakhshani's connection to the game would end there.
Fortunately for the University of Denver, it does not.
Early in his senior year, the winger for the Pioneers is their team captain and leading scorer and an atypical NHL hockey star in the making.
Rakhshani's late grandfather, Esmail, emigrated to the U.S. from Iran in the 1950s. The family settled in Huntington Beach, Calif., where Rakhshani was born. His father, Steve, and Steve's two brothers, Vic and Craig, all played football. Vic played from 1978-80 at Southern California.
"It's really weird that Rhett played hockey, especially growing up so close to the beach and with our football background," Steve Rakhshani said. "I would have never guessed it when Rhett was born."
Rhett, 21, is proud of his family's history on his father's side and is thrilled to have educated them in hockey. Steve is playing in an 40-over hockey league in Huntington Beach.
"I love that side of my family, and I've been able to be exposed to a lot of the Persian cultures in the American sense," Rhett Rakhshani said. "That part has been great, but I've never been back to Iran. The extent of what I know is the food and some of the people that lived there, my grandfather, for one."
Strong family values and principles have shaped Rakhshani, a devout Christian who has the ability to lead others who don't believe in his faith.
"My strength, and why people respect me, is because of my love for all my teammates, and I'm a kind person who treats everyone the same," Rakhshani said.
"He's a character guy," DU senior defenseman Cody Brookwell said. "When you get to know him, you know him as a friend. He knows how to lead, by leading by example, in everything he does. He's always willing to help any guy on the team and look for nothing in return."
Rakhshani, who leads DU in goals (seven), power-play goals (three), game-winning goals (two) and points (12), is the first forward to have full-time captaincy at DU since Mark Rycroft in 1999-2000.
Pioneers coach George Gwozdecky called Rakhshani a special player with an infectious personality that benefits everyone.
"I've never looked at his heritage as any more unique than anybody else on the team, other than his heritage of being from California," Gwozdecky said. "But he's is a real personality. He's open. Flamboyant at times. Very intelligent."
The preseason No. 1-ranked Pioneers (6-3-1) are lucky to have Rakhshani back for his senior year. Last summer he explored the opportunity to sign with the New York Islanders, who selected him in the fourth round (100th pick overall) of the 2006 NHL draft.
"I never saw any papers in front of me," Rakhshani said of his discussions with the Islanders. "It was more like, they were ready for me if I was ready for them. They gave me the freedom to take my time and see if it was something I wanted to consider.
"After talking to my coaches, my parents and some other people most important in my life, I decided that even if it was going to be a great contract, there were a lot of things pulling me back. The guys in the locker room pulled me back the most. I had a chance to win a national title with these guys during my senior season."
As early as next year, Steve and Joan Rakhshani look forward to seeing their son play in the NHL, remembering how the dream began in such humble surroundings. Even that potential experience will be hard-pressed to top them seeing Rhett earn the "C" for DU.
"Coming from his background, certainly not the traditional background, both Joan and I are really proud of him," Steve said. "If you knew Rhett when he was a kid, you always knew he loved people. He garners respect from his teammates because he really loves all kinds of people. He's comfortable with that, and blessed with a real good sense of how to handle situations. He's very diplomatic, very good at holding confidential information. He's very trustworthy."

I'll need to read 'em.
I used to spend a lot of time cruising simhq, looks like I should get back to doing it regularly.
Found this at simhq, that I thought was neat (though I find the site design annoying) ...
On the left hand side of the page look for a button marked "downloads" (second from the bottom), which should take you to "movies." Neat video of a virtual aerobatics show...
