While I finish some works I'm involved in, and continue with the ASoIaF characters, I'll keep on submitting old sketches and other stuff. Here's another of the previous concept sketchs I did last year, only to see how the old lore characters could be. In this case, the Targaryen sisters and their dragons, Vaghar and Meraxes.
I'll be back soon at full capacity ^^
I'll be back soon at full capacity ^^
Even though this is an early sketch, it is absolutely amazing! Cannot wait until you upload the final, completed version!
im loveing it awesome work
You style is sort of powerful. Really good for comic the story.
How do you make them?
Wow, you draw dragons awesomely! Which were your references? I feel like I've already seen dragons similar to these ones...
This is incredible!!!!!!!!
Oh wow, those details are just amazing! I particularly love the elm!
Great artwork, yet again!

Article Summary
When parents-to-be begin looking for a crib for their new baby, it can be a little confusing. Do they start with a cradle like the Hushamok or are they best to put baby straight into a full-size crib? Is it important that the crib fits in with their existing décor and can it be moved from room to room? A new crib from Bloom might help end that elusive and often frustrating search. Alma Urban is a contemporary, wooden folding crib that will sleep baby from newborn to two years, can be moved in minutes and because of its minimalist design, should suit even the most fastidious home-decorator.

A bid to slap Iran with a new round of economic sanctions appears to have stalled in the Senate, after leading Democrats amplified concern about the threat such a move poses to a fragile diplomatic process.
Early in the week, reports that a bill introduced by Republican Mark Kirk and Democrat Robert Menendez was within striking distance of a veto-proof majority cast a shadow over news that negotiators had finalized a temporary agreement to freeze Iran's nuclear program, beginning Monday. New sanctions would likely kill negotiations for a final deal, the White House warned lawmakers, and increase the chances of an armed conflict with Iran.
But Senate majority leader Harry Reid has given no indication that he will bring the bill up for a vote, and the pressure to do so is falling now that top Democrats have intensified opposition to the proposed legislation. The Kirk-Menendez bill gained no new endorsements this week, and even one supportive senator admitted Wednesday to a break in momentum.
Dianne Feinstein, chair of the Intelligence Committee, called the sanctions bill "a march towards war" on Tuesday in a floor speech that was remarkable in detail and force. "I deeply believe that a vote for this legislation will cause negotiations to collapse," Feinstein said, after thoroughly rebutting many of the claims about the interim deal put forth by the bill's supporters. "The United States, not Iran, then becomes the party that risks fracturing the international coalition that has enabled our sanctions to succeed in the first place."
Ten committee chairs circulated a joint statement warning that "new sanctions would play into the hands of those in Iran who are most eager to see the negotiations fail." Majority Whip Dick Durbin, Jeff Merkley of Oregon, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, Bill Nelson of Florida, and Tim Kaine of Virginia said they opposed the measure at this point. Even one of the co-sponsors of the Kirk-Menendez bill, Richard Blumenthal, indicated that the time wasn't right for a vote. "I want to talk to some of my colleagues. I'm encouraged and heartened by the apparent progress and certainly the last thing I want to do is impede that progress," he said on Monday.
Major newspapers condemned the bill, including theNew York Times, the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and the Washington Post, whose editorial board often betrays a neoconservative streak. More than sixty organizations including J Street, the National Iranian Council, American Baptist Churches, and CREDO delivered a letter to the Senate on Tuesday stating that the law "sets insurmountable demands for a comprehensive nuclear deal" and would "critically endanger the possibility of a diplomatic resolution to the nuclear standoff with Iran, increasing the likelihood of a nuclear-armed Iran and an unnecessary and costly war."

SHINGLE SPRINGS — Ponderosa High's varsity soccer program extended its preseason win streak to five Friday after dropping Cordova 6-2 in Bruin Country.
Junior Brandon Avalos picked up two goals on the day while teammates Matt Gould, Cameron Spencer, Jared Heffner and Jose Carrillo each contributed scoring efforts.
The win served as a litmus test regarding Ponderosa's capacity to adjust amidst various misfortunes. With leading scorer Trevor Swartz out with troubling back issues, the Bruins had to rely on a strong collective effort Friday. Despite a lopsided final score, Cordova maintained pressure on the hosts through 80 minutes of play.
"The boys played a great game," head coach Greg Spangler said. "Cordova is very good team, they (Lancers) played a strong second half against us."
While Bruin fans were pleased with the win, Ponderosa incurred a major loss as starting keeper senior Giovanni DeLaurentis suffered a severe ankle injury that sent him to the hospital directly from the pitch.
"It wasn't a dangerous play — he was just going out to get a loose ball — it's very unfortunate," Spamgler said.
Spangler opted to replace DeLaurentis with fellow senior Curtis Goldsmith, an intelligent player with keeping experience. As of today, Spangler and Co. have options in the box, but will wait until the report on DeLaurentis' ankle comes through.
With a match this week versus Colfax, Ponderosa will have one more preseason trial before facing Jesuit in the first week of Delta River League action.
"We have one more game at Colfax," Spangler said, "to get ready for Jesuit in our first league game. The boys are playing well together, we'll just try to keep playing well and stay ready for league."

Congratulations to Jim Quigley from Pennsylvania for being TechNet's lone winner of a portable media center in July.
I say "lone winner" because some of the other webcast programs (like MSDN and Microsoft Business Solutions) had multiple winners. So I say to you ITPro crowd: Keep filling out those webcast evaluations! That's how you win. I want to see more TechNet webcast viewers winning next month! Remember the rules: you watch a TechNet webcast, and fill out an evaluation telling us what you thought of the webcast. You're then entered to win. Every time you participate in a webcast, you're entered again. Watch 32 webcasts and submit evaluations, get entered 32 times. Better odds than the lottery for sure. At the end of the month, ten lucky winners are pulled from the hat, and voila, media glory on the go.
If you want to see the fine print about this promotion because you really like the legal stuff, check out the official rules

Nightmare Fuel: The Darkest Hour
- What the aliens actually look like is scary in and of itself: they look like some kind of robot octopus from Hell.
- They're pretty terrifying before they're revealed, as well. They're almost completely invisible, the only sign of their approach being that electronics go haywire in their presence. And one touch from their shields turns you to charcoal dust. Seems nothing really is scarier.

 I thought I'd close out 2011 with 5 guiding principles for companies striving to be more competitive and agile over the next 12-36 months. I'd love to hear your comments (and plans) related to these! You can comment below or reach me on Twitter at @danielselman. Happy Christmas! Have a fun, compassionate, healthy and prosperous 2012!

1. Exploit Historical Data

 Enterprises amass huge volumes of transactional and event data. They use distributed batch processing to aggregate and classify historical data to gain insight and advantage. In some industries sophisticated predictive models are built from the historical data. Batch processing is typically very compute intensive and must typically complete in hours.

2. React in Time

 To complement the historical data computed using batch the enterprise reacts to events. Millisecond, or sub-millisecond, response times are required to ensure enterprises stay ahead of competitors. In many cases simplifying algorithmic assumptions are made to speed computation, compared to more exact batch techniques. The next night's batch run may therefore change the enterprise's world view...

 Monitoring dashboards provide humans with the insight they need to remain in control and to supplement the automated system with human intelligence.

 Intelligent reaction requires a rich set of action primitives: send a formatted email, send SMS, start/stop a processes, block network access, set profile data.

 Events tell us something about the state of the world at time T. What was believed to be true at time T may not be true at time T+1. How reliable are our event streams?

3. Make Consistent, High-Quality Decisions

 Decisions made by the enterprise must be of high-quality and consistent across multiple touch-points: streams, processes, batch, and transaction processing. Decisions and processes emit events. Subject Matter Experts need sophisticated and scalable testing and simulation tools to ensure rules function as designed.

4. Performance, Performance, Performance

 Both vertical and horizontal scalability are critical due to the volumes of data to be processed. Competitive advantage is based on crunching more data, faster, using more sophisticated algorithms, producing smarter outcomes. Elastic compute grids are required to easily scale and meet peak loads.

5. Move from Segments to Customers

 Enterprises need to make the right decision for customer Daniel Selman, not the right decision for white-males living in Brittany, France. Every customer has an unique historical context, and personalized rules, and these must be taken into account during decision making. The enterprise context for a single customer may be spread across an Event Processing Network, CRM system, process instances, transactional databases and batch results. Customers may benefit from a distributed authoring experience to author and manage their own rules, on their own devices.

 Business rules has proved itself to be a key enabler of the agile enterprise. One of our major challenges for 2012 is how to best expose business rules (which often implement decisions) to a range of IT and business systems in an efficient, intuitive and safe manner. Decisions do not operate in a silo, they are often triggered by events or processes, make use of data managed by Master Data Management and may kick off processes or fire events. Making good decisions sometimes means referring to past outcomes, expressed as predictive models.

 Simultaneously I am seeing an explosion in the number of rules (Big Rules) as well as the size of the simulation datasets (Big Data). 5 years ago a customer with 10K rules was pushing the envelope. Today we have customers requiring 5M rules and running simulations against 400M records. Many of the use cases for extreme numbers of rules are driven by requirements for mass-personalization: a bank has 20M customers and each customer has 10 personalization rules. We move from a few very large rulesets (e.g. mortgage approval) to millions of very small rulesets. Some of these rulesets may be very personal indeed, perhaps even running on a personal device.

 The good news however is that we have already made significant progress!

At IBM, WebSphere Operational Decision Management (WODM) is part of the BPM division and we've worked very hard to make rules easier to invoke from processes. Customers can start-small, embedding a few dozen rules in their processes and then scale-up to enterprise BRMS as needed.

Using the just announced WODM v75 release, customers can govern transactional and event rules using a single repository and governance tools.

We built a Support Pack that integrates SPSS predictive models and JRules so that customers can easily invoke predictive models from rules or convert PMML into Decision Trees.

A Support Pack for WebSphere Business Monitor provides easy monitoring of decisions using a powerful dashboard, providing real-time IT and business insight.

We've done a huge amount of work for the z platform to help our customers move their business logic out of CICS/COBOL applications and into reusable and agile decision services.

 In fact, every week I get inquiries from customers and product teams who are integrating business rules into their solutions: Master Data Management, Smarter Cities, Smarter Government, Adaptive Case Management, Health, Stream processing... the possibilities and opportunities are enormous!

Let's start with the obvious: this is the opinion of one mere human. Someone who would fail miserably at the US quiz show Jeopardy: it's that 'start-with-the-answer' approach that just screws me up every time. Not being a native of this soil, I claim it's just not part of my DNA.

But an IBM supercomputer called Watson (which was indeed conceived on US soil) appears to be performing awfully well at the contest and as such is causing a lot of media attention, much of it centered around the whole field of artificial intelligence (AI) and IBM's involvement in this area.

As PC World reports, Watson overcame two Jeopardy all-time champs in a practice round recently. How does it do this? The silicon contestant has read countless encyclopedias and other tomes, contains natural language processing capabilities and can even determine how confident it is in its response. Couple this with industry-leading computational power and you have one efficient competitor.

IBM has a history in the development of pitting computers against humans on the cerebral battlefield. In the late 'nineties, Deep Blue defeated chess grandmaster Gary Kasparov (although Kasparov disputes that he was indeed beaten). However the team behind the Watson project are quick to point out that the level of computing required to deal with the high-level semantic reasoning they are up against is different to the logic-bound nature of chess. Chess is a game of limited moves on an 8x8 grid; Jeopardy a game of infinite words.

I can't help but think back to my Philosophy of the Mind classes where we studied the Turing test - that black box approach to measure AI proposed by Alan Turing in the 50s. Sometimes called the 'imitation game', the concept was that if someone could ask questions to a black box and not discern whether a computer or a person was inside, you could attribute intelligence to the machine on a par to that which us humans enjoy. This Stanford article does a good job of discussing the Turing Test and its objections in some detail.

One objection that stands out is that of origination: could a computer do more than just perform tasks (or deal with questions) set by humans? In the case of Watson, it was a team of people within IBM Research that came up with the idea to build a supercomputer to compete in Jeopardy. The motivations? Showcase technology. A fun work-related project. Team-building. The question is whether a computer could have had the 'wisdom' (foolhardiness) to come up with the idea of the project in the first place.

I'd suggest this level of decision-making is a quantum leap beyond the semantic analysis of IBM Watson.

Jonah Lehrer, in the provocatively-titled Proust was a Neuroscientist, uses the filter of art to illustrate what neuroscience is uncovering about the complexity of our intelligence. Within the poetry of Walt Whitman you find the idea that feelings and emotions are born in our bodies, not our minds:

"Antonio Damascio, a neuroscientist who has done extensive work on the etiology of feeling, calls this process the body loop. In his view the mind stalks the flesh; from our muscles we steal our moods."

You can't separate our thought process from our bodily existence. This could be a problem for a computer lacking flesh and bones.

I don't just bring this up in the vein of being a contrarian or mean-spirited towards what is quite an astounding piece of computing. I think there is a message here that relates to the technology at the core of Watson: business analytics.

Decision-making within the enterprise happens at different levels and business analytics doesn't necessarily apply at all of those. For instance, business analytics is ideal at helping a marketer pinpoint prospects who might be interested in a particular offer. It's less good at determining whether that same marketer should run a conference program if they've never run one before. We're still not close to being able to automate that intuitive part of the decision-making process in business.

Last year I sat in a discussion around decision management and heard from a product marketing manager that a barrier to adoption of business analytics systems is the fear from decision-makers that this technology will take away their jobs (the very same people who normally sign the check on these kinds of purchases). This would suggest we in the field of business analytics need to do a better job of explaining that there are some decisions that can be automated and others that cannot. Business analytics consists of a set of tools that us humans can use to make smarter decisions, but like all tools, it has limits.

So whilst IBM Watson shows what computers can achieve in the human realm, it's worth bearing in mind (no pun intended) that computers pose little threat to the human realm. The Jeopardy contest that is coming up on February 14 is a battle of one computer against 2 humanoids. If Watson wins, we're not talking about the dawn of a new era where Jeopardy is played out by tin robots bearing the IBM insignia. We are talking about a triumph of a technology that has applications in healthcare and customer service and beyond - a technology that remains a tool in the hands of us mere humans.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
Chemical explosion near Allentown killed five, injured two
The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration today issued citations to Amerway, Inc., Altoona, Pa. for alleged violations of safety and health standards and proposed penalties totaling $169,600. The company manufactures solder products primarily for the automotive industry.
According to Robert Syzmanski, area director of the Pittsburgh OSHA office, the company received three willful violations, with a proposed penalty of $156,000; three serious violations which carry a penalty of $12,000; and, two other-than-serious violations with a penalty of $1,600.
"Amerway had employees with elevated blood lead levels that were above the criteria for medial removal and they were not providing these employees with proper medical follow up," said Syzmanski. "This inspection covered all lead-related issues at the facility."
The following deficiencies in the company's lead program were cited as willful violations: failure to conduct air monitoring to determine where employees were exposed to excessive levels of lead; failure to have a complete medical monitoring program for employees with elevated blood lead levels; failure to implement sufficient engineering and/or administrative controls to reduce employee exposure to airborne lead.
The serious violations address other violations of the lead standard including: employees not showering at the end of the work shift and wearing clothing home that was worn during the work shift; deficiencies in the respirator program; failure to provide all necessary personal protective equipment and failure to evaluate the effectiveness of the ventilation systems in reducing lead exposures.
The two other-than-serious violations concern the company's failure to record medically removed employees and lack of noise monitoring.
The investigation was initiated on Jan. 22, 1999 in response to complaints.
Willful violations are those committed with an intentional disregard of, or plain indifference to, the requirements of the OSH act and regulations.
A serious violation involves a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result and that the employer knew or should have known of the hazard.
The company has 15 working days from receipt of the citations to either decide to comply, to request an informal conference with the OSHA area director, or to contest the citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
The investigation was conducted by the Pittsburgh OSHA office, Rm. 1428, Federal Building, 1000 Liberty Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15222, telephone (412) 395-4903.

Loose Lips Daily: Same As The Old Boss Edition
A deliberative roundup of one city's local politics. Send your tips, releases, stories, events, etc. to firstname.lastname@example.com. And get LL Daily sent straight to your inbox every morning!
Mary Cheh is Annoyed
Good morning sweet readers! It's Thursday, and you all know that means Washington City Paper is having a fire sale on newspapers. In this week's edition, WCP has a great cover story on one of LL's wife's favorite pastimes, rollerskating. No, it's not dead. See also Rend Smith's piece on how having a majority black police force is a good thing for D.C. And LL looks at just how annoyed Ward 3 Councilmember Mary Cheh is these days at suggestions she's pulling punches in her investigation of Mayor Vince Gray's hiring practices. News time:
Same As The Old Boss: Terry Bellamy, congratulations, you've won the job of being the permanent new D.C. DDOT director and with it, LL presumes, the free lifetime membership to Capital Bikeshare. Gray announced Bellamy was his pick yesterday, half a year after Bellamy took over as interim director when Gray gave former DDOT boss Gabe Klein the boot. Reached yesterday by WTOP (probably at a kegger in Rahm's backyard), Klein praised the pick and said Bellamy was the Kaya Henderson to his Michelle Rhee. LDP says "the selection of Bellamy would seem to disregard the administration's transition report, which harshly criticized Klein's management (many of its allegations turned out to be untrue)."
AFTER THE JUMP: School Cheating; Decertified ME; Kwame v. the Mob ...
Your Cheating Heart: Take that, USA Today, city officials found only three DCPS classrooms where cheating occurred on standardized tests, not any widespread cheating the paper of record for airports implied a few months back. But uh-oh, look what the Post's Bill Turque reports: "Whether Wednesday's action will dispel questions about the reliability of the city's test scores remains unclear."
Decertified: LL is having a hard time getting excited about the news that "the D.C. medical examiner's office has lost its national accreditation." It makes for a sexy headline, but the back story is kind of dull: "The National Association of Medical Examiners withdrew the accreditation in March after noting that Chief Medical Examiner Marie-Lydie Y. Pierre-Louis was not board-certified in pathology, as the association requires of top agency officials. ... Pierre-Louis's board certification is far from a new issue. The D.C. Council voted twice, in 2004 and 2007, to excuse her from a statutory requirement that she be board-certified. The American Board of Pathology does not allow doctors to apply for certification 10 years or more after their most recent medical training." Also, Pierre-Louis appears to be doing a good job.
Try Decaf: LDP smartly notes that Gray sounded like his old chum Mayor Adrian Fenty yesterday when asked about a recent audit that raised questions about the legality of City Administrator Allen Lew's management style when he was renovating the city's schools. "Put on the spot about it at his weekly press conference, master-of-process Vince Gray responded very much like his predecessor might have: Well it turned out all right in the end, didn't it?" Moments later at the same presser, Lew made fun of D.C. Watch's Dorothy Brizill, telling her to "try decaf" after she got a little amped up peppering Lew and the mayor with questions.
Can I Finish?: The social services advocates of Save Our Safety Net went on a tour of the Wilson Building, and recorded their Q & A with Council Chairman Kwame "Fully Loaded" Brown. Brown says he'll do "everything" he can to restore funding to some social services, except raise taxes.
In Other News: Rhee and former WTU President George Parker are reunited for the sake of the children, says Rhee. Mess with D.C., see your political career die like the rest. No clear link between police staffing and crime rate.
Gray sked: Mayor parties at his old stomping grounds, the Covenant House, before heading off to an awards dinner hosted by the building industry.
Council sked: Budget hearing was canceled.

In 1969, hippies and the Vietnam War were abstractions to me, glimpses from photos in an occasional Life Magazine. I had not heard about the Weathermen.
I was twelve years old. In the following year my main source of normalcy and inspiration—my school day--would be turned upside down. I would go to a high school where riots and the threats of riots were commonplace.
Anti-American forces were at work to bring down America.
While I was worrying about junior high school, Larry Grathwohl, who had just come back to Cincinnati from Vietnam, was infiltrating the domestic terrorist group Weatherman, the only one to have done so. Larry saved potentially hundreds of lives when he alerted the FBI to a bomb placed near a Detroit police station and a restaurant.
Bill Ayers, Education Secretary of Weatherman, told him that in the revolution, lives would have to be sacrificed.
This week I have been traveling with Larry and Tina Trent, who have helped republish Larry's memoir Bringing Down America, about his days with the domestic terrorists. Tina tells the story as we speak to various groups in Florida this week about how she happened to read Larry's book in high school in the late 1970s. It was the one truthful one amidst a growing collection already devoted to hagiographies of the 1960s radicals in the library.
My interest in Bill Ayers began a few years ago when I learned about his career as a "Distinguished Professor of Education." In reality he was working to destroy everything that was good about our education system. Ayers, after escaping punishment in 1980, used his position at the University of Illinois at Chicago, to spread his revolutionary ideas throughout the educational system--in the classes he taught, the books and articles he wrote, the conferences he attended, the dissertation committees he sat on, and the political connections he fostered with Barack Obama and Arne Duncan on the Annenberg Challenge.
One of the things that has encouraged me as we've talked to these groups is the awareness of Obama and Duncan's education plan called Common Core. This is a complete federal power grab with an agenda in line with the educational aims of Bill Ayers. The last refuge of conservatives for education, homeschooling and private schools, will effectively be eliminated under Common Core.

Former Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie will challenge U.S. Senator Mark Warner in November.
Gillespie will challenge u.s. Senator Mark Warner in November. Today, Virginia Republicans nominated Gillespie during their state convention at the Roanoke Civic Center. WDBJ7's Joe Dashiell covered the convention today. Joe, how close was it? Chris, ultimately the Republican delegates nominated Gillespie by acclamation. But his closest competitor, Shak Hill, made it interesting. Ed Gillespie came into the convention as the odds-on favorite. But with three other candidates in the race, Republicans wondered if Tony DeTora, Shak HIll or Chuck Moss might make it a race. HIll came close. His supporters turned out in force, and Hill gave a rousing speech in which he said he was the only candidate who can defeat Mark Warner in November. 03:25:57 you know i have th emoral authority to challenge mark warner, not everyone in this race can make that claim. When you lobby for big bank bailouts, there is no separation between you and mark warner. 26:11 Gillespie worked the crowd before the vote. He was leading the vote with 7 of the state's 11 congressional districts reporting when Hill conceded. i am so honored and i accept your nomination to be the republican nominee for teh United States Senate from the Commonwealth of Virginia. 59:07 Bob Denton: i think at the end of the day, it was probably the organization, the time they put into it. People who show up control conventions. 03:09 Democrats are gearing up for a fight, targeting Gillespie's record as a high pwoered lobbyist. 02:43:37 there's nothing wrong with being rich. there's noting wong with being successful, biut when Gillespie says he has the interests of Virginians, and the ability to pull the party together to defeat Mark Warner in November. .04:30 Im honored to be th enomnee of the United state senate for the republican party here and believe that through this nominating process we were able to get our nomination in a way that will unify our party. 04:42 Gillespie will waste no time launching the general election campaign. He's now planning a tour across the commonwealth in the next few days. Joe Dashiell wdbj7

Catch stunts in my 745
You drive me crazy, shorty
I need to see you and feel you next to me
I provide everything you need and I
Like your smile, I don't want to see you cry
Lyric Meaning
To "stunt" is to show off. 50 plays on the car reference by stating that the girl drives him crazy. He is so infatuated by the girl that he finds himself trying to impress her by "catching stunts" in his 745. The girl is driving 50 crazy, as 50 is literally driving his 745 in an attempt to stunt.

Good Book
posted 6 years ago
This is the first gerbil book I bought when I got my two adults. They turned out to be one of each sex due to a breeder/pet store mistake and I have 5 weaned pups now. I had to scramble online to fine sites that were helpful about what to do in certain situations and how to prepare for the worst (like respiratory infections). I bought a different book online that was much more helpful (author runs abcgerbils.com, which has a lot of great information). Gerbilbreeding.com is another great site, esp. if you're interested in gerbil genetics :)
Pros: Easy to read, lots of photos and charts, great for first time owners
Cons: Not much information for if you are breeding or accidentally breeding

Alien Isolation marketing art by bradwrightWatch
©2014-2016 bradwright
This is up on the official website to download (at super high res) so i can share it here...Marketing image I painted. Over the incredible 3D skills of Stefano Tsai. Property of SEGA
This could do a beautiful poster / print.
Very nice. Almost reminds me of Pandorum... chilling.
OMG, this is awesome!
So this is the place where ill die one million times
NICE! Was it just for the marketing materials or were you hired on for other art (concept art, texture work, etc.)?
Somewhere....on that station....resides a xenomorph! Feels good to get scared of something that could kill you at anytime in a good. The suspense, man!
So wonderfully dark and sinister
Amazing. Do you usually do background concept art / get hired to do it? It's really awesome.
Ooh... you did concept/design art for the game?

Submitted for our Dairy Recipe Contest by M. BilyeuReuven Mina
2 tablespoons oil
3 egg & onion matzahs
3 large eggs
12 square slices Swiss cheese
1-1/2 cups sauerkraut, well-drained
1 teaspoon caraway seed
1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing (or Kraft sandwich spread)
Preheat oven to 400F. Use the oil to grease an 8"-square baking dish.
Place the matzahs into another 8"-square baking dish; cover with water and soak for 2 minutes. Drain the water, reserving the baking dish. Carefully pat the matzahs dry with paper towels.
Beat the eggs, and place them into the drained baking dish. Carefully take one matzah and dip both sides into the egg, letting excess egg drip off; then place the matzah into the oiled baking dish. Lay 4 slices of cheese over the matzah. Combine the sauerkraut, caraway seed and dressing; spread half of the mixture over the cheese. Coat another matzah with egg, and place it over the sauerkraut. Lay 4 more slices of cheese, then spread the remaining sauerkraut mixture over the top. Coat the remaining matzah with egg, and place it on top. Lay the last 4 slices of cheese on top.
Bake for 30 minutes, until mina is browned and bubbly. Let rest 5 minutes, then cut into squares and serve hot. Serves 4-6.

Picture: Sir Paul McCartney leaves The Ivy restaurant, after dining with Jack Nicholson. London, England - 25.01.08
Sir Paul McCartney's divorce battle with Heather Mills will continue into next week (begs18Feb08) after the warring couple failed to reach an agreement. Mills - who's representing herself in the case at London's High Court - could reportedly walk away with $120 million (GBP60 million) of the former Beatle's estimated $1.65 billion (GBP825 million) personal fortune. Officials have confirmed Court 34 has been booked for the case to continue on Monday (18Feb08). It's likely the judge will decide at some point next week whether enough has been said to draw the hearing to a close. MCCartney and Mills split in May 2006 after four years of marriage. The couple has a daughter, four-year-old Beatrice, together. Ex-glamour model Mills launched a bitter tirade against the British press in a TV interview in October (07) accusing them of turning the public against her after a series of 'hate campaigns'.

DIY Video Glasses for Raspberry Pi
by adafruit, published
Thing Info
Our 3D Printed design turns this display into a google glass like form factor. It easily clips to your prescription glasses, and can display any kind of device with Composite Video like a Raspberry Pi.
A pair of wearable video glasses sets you back about 100 bucks, and the 3d printed parts are a free download on thingiverse. This display uses composite video to connect to the Raspberry Pi its very plug and play.
Theres also a headphone jack that passes through audio. It features an internal battery pack to drive the display. Any good USB battery bank can power the Pi for on-the-go linuxÂing.

Cant you like make an IR high power led ( like cree leds ) monocular night vision headset thingy from this :D? with a parts list and how to etc!
Would love that :D!
has anyone made something like this that is an eyepatch? I think that could be pretty cool.
Did you purposely design the mating parts to be a line to line fit? It seems like you didn't account for manufacturing tolerances?
I got all the pieces for it, but what I later realized is I need clear non-reading glasses for myself. Can you point to a place where I can get some that match the 3d print pattern for the glasses you have ?
I'm guessing you already thought of this, but one does have the option of knocking out the lenses of a prescription set to get a neutral prescription. :-) Otherwise, wearing glasses has become a bit stylish in Asian regions, to the point of making neutral glasses very cheap even though you might have to wait for the E-packet to arrive. :-) (Ebay or Amazon purchase) hope this helps. :-)
Here's one I made for my wearable Raspberry Pi http://imgur.com/a/f4eD9#0http://imgur.com/a/f4eD9#0
Does anyone know a way I could pay someone to print this for me? I have everything needed for this rig already, but no access to a 3d printer.
Check out your local 3d printing hubs on http://3dhubs.comhttp://3dhubs.com or http://makexyz.comhttp://makexyz.com
I'm a little confused. I thought this could be done for around 100 bucks? Reading the overview on adafruit makes it seem a bit more pricey. More like 200?
NTSC/PAL Video Glasses -110.00
Raspberry Pi - 40.00
Miniature WIreless USB Keyboard with Touchpad - 50.00
Did I miss something? Because, I hope I did! :)
You sure did....The Glasses are ~$100(yes $110). That is all.....The rest of the stuff isn't required. These glasses will connect to anything with VGA/composite out.
The keyboard, and raspberrypi aren't needed....And quite a lot of people who would build something like this, will generally already have the raspberrypi, and mini keyboard/mouse.....
So yea, about $100 to build THIS THING, not including however much the stuff you connect it to costs....
VGA huh? could i connect this i my iPhone then with an apple VGA adapter?
Any chance you guys can put up the original solids? I wan't to adapt this for a different pair of glasses.
Sure! We just added the 123Dx file, it has all the original solids so you can make a derivative.
The video is set for private & can't be watched

Bad service at LG Outdoors
Recently I did an on-line buy from LG Outdoors (of Montgomery, AL) of a simple $31 scope ring. The check out system kept rejecting my GunBroker.com user name though it was correct (I verified and I'm a fairly high-volume GB user!) Seven attempts at checking out followed by phone calls and emails over a couple of days -- to no avail, so I explained my problem to the service person who said they would cancel the say and "not to worry". So I bought the ring elsewhere - I had a $500 scope that couldn't be used for lack of a ring.
12 days later I get an email demanding that I pay. Many emails later they insist that now their check out is working and I must pay for the item. I explain that I've already bought the ring since it's been almost 2 weeks! They even admit in an email that the problem was on their end. Nevertheless they've now posted a Non Pay Buyer alert on GunBroker.
Seems unreasonable on two accounts: (1) I make a Herculean effort to pay for the item but their check out system failed, and (2) their customer service rep said they'd reverse the sale BEFORE I found another ring so I acted on that statement. I'll never buy from them again.

I think you just ran into a computer clitch. I know many very satisfied customer and they have a very large selection of shooting products at great prices. If you ever have a problem there just ask to talk with the VP Gordon Marsh. He is very good at helping customers.

Terrible Liars
From their gunbroker feedback it appears many many of their transactions go well. When it does not go well this company just flat out lies.
I did a buy it now of a product on Gunbroker.com supposed to be in stock, I paid extra for faster shipping, it never came. I contacted and got some lame excuse about how the shipping clerk could not understand my shipping address. We got that corrected, Was told it would overnight express, it never arrived then a week later I got an email saying the item was backordered, but the item was also relisted on gunbroker.com as being in stock. I asked for a refund and a week later the company finally processed my refund.

My experience is negative. They list stuff on GB that they simply do not have in stock. Also unless things have changed, they use UPS to ship. Thus if you order one small item, you pay exorbitant shipping.

Hey all!
I have not been to the site since I think late 2009...my hobby sort of stopped due to losing job, money issues.
So I have been wearing just what I have, which in a way made me...
Best compliment I ever got while wearing Body Kouros from a woman:
you smell great!, it is subtle but sexy!
cannot get any better then that
Majority of time when I wear too much, is only time i get a negative complaint.
So i have been real easy on the trigger as of late.
The only one that I know of that got me a real negative...
well TPC got back to me and they said they would only replace if it happened during shipping.
Oh well...guess it time to invest in a bigger bottle
Hmm i did not think of even complaining to them..I guess it work a shot...Thanks for the suggestion...but yeah I do love Rose 31..and would love to go in a split
My 8 ml decant from TPC of Le Labo Rose31 leaked all over my bag...somehow the cap got loose no idea..what a waste of $20.. I only used 1-2 ml...
I never had a plastic atomizer ever leak like...
another vote for encre noir
i take it he did not get the job?
well today I am wearing Musc Ravaguer - 1 spray to the wrists then i did the rubbing wrists transfers to sides of my neck.
So far I can smell it easily without having to bring my wrists to my nose.
Thanks everyone for all the suggestions.
Ambre 114 by Histoire de Parfums
Ambre 114 is my favourite wearing it now
I have yet to try Ambre Precieoux not sure where I can even try it in the US
and never heard of Ambre Timbet..will have to look for that
Ambre Sultan...
Ok It might just be my skin but Chergui and Amber Sultan, actually now that I think about it I cannot find any SL fragrances worth anything.
That is a good idea...maybe I will spray on my wrists and try to transfer as much as I can to my neck by pulse points
The biggest problem I have is I have a 1 hour train ride into the city and I am sitting next to people in sometimes cramp corners
So I know what some people might not consider powerhouses...
Where do you spray them?
For example Musc Ravaguer I would not spray it more then once
I was trying to decide where to spray - wrists, neck( where on neck?), or chest?
So for powerhouses...
I will have to say Body Kouros
a lady I was with while having love described the scent as sexy but subtle, best compliment I can get
Tam Dao
Le Labo Rose 31
Well after wearing it for a full day my thoughts have changed,
I love the first few hours especially the top notes, and after the first few hours it changes a lot and lots of interplay going on...
Well I like this a lot better then Homage so far, only applied about 30 minutes ago so will see how it develops and how long it lasts
bad part if it like it will really hurt my wallet
I got a call last night that Aedes just got it in, I am going to brave the cold and make the long walk and test this today I am dieing to try this
I have not had a chance to visit been swamped at work and now it is freezing cold here
There are only 3 I really like and own:
Coney Island
all the rest meh...
To me it smells like maple syrup and gets me nauseating sick, I have tried it several times. The opening is great but the drydown is the maple syrup.
The odd thing is i own and love Rochas man,...
I like Tam Dao a lot, unfortunately only lasts about 4-5 hours on me
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
Smells so great on this really cold day in NY today
I heard the official Date is Dec 16th
Opium PH EDP
Encre Noire by Lalique
Histoire de Parfums Ambre 114
here is what i was told in an email from creed:
I just got a decant of Rose 31 and love it!
I think eventually I might get a bottle, but I never tried no. 88
Well after my second day through applying through a regular atomizer my results are still the same, it lasts only about 4 hours, initially I get a lot more citrus, and yet there is hardly any...
Kenzo Jungle L'Éléphant, that is the only one I own currently that i wear regularly at work that is classified as female, but I have sampled many female scents
Well I just applied it at 8:50 am through spray mechanism and I can tell you this..definitely different then when dabbing a lot different
Now maybe because I got a lot more or maybe because it...
Is it possible?
I do not recall seeing them anywhere but then again I was not looking for them.
Anyone know which boutiques or saks or bergdorfs might be in ?
so i was at bergdorf again today this time the women store and they had a real tester bottle and i asked if they got any samples he said no but he can make one up for me, so he made a nice 1 ML...
I think that is what the plan is in fact she told me she can hold some samples for me if I want, I think this release is a huge thing for this grand opening for the store
btw i am not going to purchase Windsor but I thought I pass this along since I emailed them a few days ago trying to find out where I can purchase Windsor in NYC and they told they will have plenty...
Amouage Jubilation XXV
Lalique Encre Noire 50ml - could not pass up on it for $20
Living in NYC I can tell you pretty much every vendor is selling fake juice, your best is definitely stay away
also stay away from the fragrance district as well, it is very hard to to tell from...
Interesting I never heard of Invastion Barbare I will have to look for that one to compare
But I totally agree with you with regards to Ambre 114.
Ambre 114 is one scent that just WoW'ed me...
True I just never spray on clothes, always afraid I might ruin my clothes or stain them, I am a skin person
so update 5 hours after I sprayed Windsor on the back of my hand it is gone, so very poor longevity compared to say SMW or GIT which I get at least 8 - 12 hours
Ambre 114 is the best in the line and I just bought a decant
after that I think 1725, 1969 and 1740 all worth checking out
ok i got to sample it at SAKS, first of all i forget how much i cannot stand the Creed SA's at SAKS, they are so rude and snobbish, I like the Bergdorf SA so much better...but anyway on to my opinion...
I might stop by today and see if they have it, if not oh well, no big loss at this point means save me some big bucks =)
Kenzo Jungle L'Éléphant
Really hard to pin point:
1) TF Tobacco Vanilla
2) Kenzo Jungle L'Éléphant
3) Opium EDP
4) Musc Ravageur
5) Amouage Jubilation XXV
Does anyone know where they might have this in NYC?
I was not going to check this out because of the price and i was really dissapointed with sublime vanilla but because of the rave review, and...
Unfortunately when I wore it all i got was just rose no other notes that is why i felt it was more feminine, but a very beautiful rose i might say
I found it leaning towards the feminine side as well, but my biggest complaint was 6 hours longevity.
Which is fine saved me big bucks.
I am really hoping Tribute will be a lot better
out of curiosity where do all of you spray it? i think if you spray more then once it a;most like a nuke
I was kind of shocked to find out 600 are released every year is that accurate? it does not seem to be 600 but maybe it really is?
I was at the hermes boutique recently and they will not allow you to mix and match you have to get all of the same for the 15 ml travel set
There is one thing I do not understand when it comes to olfactory fatigue:
Why certain fragrances you get it a lot sooner then others for example:
Silver mountain Water and L'instant EDP...
I prefer SMW and have superb longevity and sillage that lasts over 12 hours
I had to try this at Barneys I did Duro one one hand and BA on other and after a few hours I would say they were very close to each other, BA to me was Duro + incense but a bit toned down and not as...
this is weird i love both Tobacco Vanille & Ambre Narguille and I tried it again last night and even this morning when I woke up all I smelled was very sweet baby powder,
I would say it was more...
oh good i do not feel alone
Have you smelled Silver Musc? Is it the same for you?
With Silver Musc it is still very light like and I know it is there as a skin scent but I dont think I can...
I remember liking Duro and Silver Musk but i must add Silver Musk was just borin and both lasted a really long time but still not sure if FBW
I must be anosmic to musc becuase I smell nothing on my skin at all and it been there for several hours now
oh btw i was talking to the SA about the experiation date asking if that is really...
This is one of my favourites and from what I understand is becoming extremely rare to find nowadays, if you want to sell it I think you will be able to real easily
I think it was mostly the mid notes that smelled very closely to Givenchy Pi because by the time it got to the basenotes and drydown it nowhere as vanilla or sweet, but would need to do a better...
I am going to have to do a side by side comparison then..
This is the second time I sampled and I love the first hour but every time it dries down it keeps reminding me so much of Givenchy PI
Am I nuts?
i want to really love it because it so talked...
I am in the minority but I never liked Homage, I always felt it was too feminine for my tastes plus it had poor longevity for me (6 hours tried it twice), now compared to Jubilation XXV, I find...
I like Musc Ravaguer but I cannot put on more then one spray, I usually spray right in my upper chest lower neck region. if i do anymore sprays then that I think I will knock people over because I...
Well one i just tried recently but much more expensive similarity is 1725 Casanova by Histoire de Parfums, I was trying to figure out where I smelled this when i sampled it and was thinking Dreamer
I seen it happen as well and the SA says it happens so often he is surprised they do not break.
it is good to know
I might have to resample Back to Black again I think I might still have some left might have to check and compare but last time I remember one thing that I really did not like I got this baby powder...
Oh i never heard of that one and I was just in Aedes recently retrying Amber Sultan and they carry the entire TDC line
but if you love amber and have not tried Amber 114 you must =)
so finally after a long time I finally think I found my perfect Amber scent
I have tried the following:
Amber Sultan - had a really bad experience as some might remember and it hard to move...
Yes it does..in fact it has that barnyard smell typical of oud I could not wear it longer then 2 hours before I had to scrub it off
I have tried it along with Harrod's Oud version, both I ended up scrubbing, I have to admit both were very tenacious, and you would get your money's worth for longeveity and sillage,
Anyway back...
how did you guys get to sample it? i went to the bond store in NYC and they said they have no idea when it will be released
It is funny you mentioned it..I feel exactly the same way..I love the opening but the drydown is way too syrupy and sweet for me in fact too sickening sweet that it gets me nauseous and I have to...
ok well i could not resist I stopped by Bergdorf Goodman today after stopping by Hermes and I was able to test out Sublime Vanille:
For one they already sold out and there is a long waiting list....
hmm i wonder if that means i should stop at bergdorf and see if they have a tester available but like you i don't know if i even want to tempt it,
Yep since I can save a lot of money getting it from a discount site I am going to get the EDT
I have to say after wearing both of these (parfume and EDT) side by side for a few hours I really cannot tell the differences at all
Only the first hour or so but then it was almost impossible to...
my original post was talking about the EDT
in fact I tested the Parfum tonight I put it on at 6 PM tonight at SAKS and it still going now 11 PM
but i am also testing the EDT side by side and...
only thing i am disappointed with TdH is longevity I thought maybe it was olfactory fatique so last night I sprayed the sample i got on my hand before bed at 12 midnight, woke up at 5 am which is my...
About a year ago I tried this and for whatever reason I did not like it at all, and do not remember why, well today I was in sephora and looking to see what was new just bored at lunch and decided to...
I never seen it any NYC shops - whether sephora or just regular perfume shops, I had to order mine online a year ago
I wear it to the office..:)
It is finally getting colder here in NYC and for the first time in probably 6-8 months I put on Opium PH EDP.
Wow it is like a breath of fresh air, you sometimes forget how great it is and what it...
I guess what is the harm in just changing it to 4.2 oz and reducing the price to say $250?

Cows: The real thing
Tom Ambrose, Reporter - Richmond + Twickenham / / News
An east Twickenham father has a beef with Hanworth's Dairy Crest factory after launching a campaign for its rooftop cows to be restored.
For almost 40 years, the fibre glass cows have grazed and stood static on the roof of the building, visible from the A316.
But Joachim Jellinek was outraged to discover, last week, that the landmark cattle had been removed because of health and safety fears.
Father-of-four Mr Jellinek was alerted to the cows' disappearance thanks to his son, Cosmo, who was saddened by the loss.
His petition has already gathered more than 6,500 signatures, with a host of campaigners expressing their wish for the cows to come home.
He said: "For the past 37 years the cows have been a useful road marker and a talking point for local children and adults on their journeys.
"In addition, the road is used by many national and international travellers on their way into Twickenham to see rugby matches and beyond into London.
"Dairy Crest has stated that the cows have become worn and their fixings dangerous and have removed the cows citing health and safety concerns.
"They have also said they can make no promises that they will restore or replace the cows."
The cows first appeared on the rooftop when the site was owned by Job's Dairy.

Without seeing the stock photo, I'd never have seen the similarity between real cows and the much-missed models.
