Ensuring Alignment With Your Business Goals
Behind every M&A transaction there's a business goal that both buyer and seller have taken pains to develop, articulate and advance. Manatt's Mergers and Acquisitions team works to fully understanding that goal because only when we've fully grasped its every dimension can we put together an M&A strategy that perfectly aligns with it.
Once we know what you need to accomplish, we assemble a deal team to find the path of least resistance. A team capable of identifying opportunities, assessing risks and removing obstacles. A team that brings together the skill sets of seasoned attorneys from multiple practice areas, such as antitrust, environment, real estate; IP; tax, and labor and employment, among others.
Talent to spare
In assembling a deal team, we draw from a deep pool of standout talent to identify the appropriate senior-level lawyer to manage your transaction, from letter of intent through final closing.
Combining the business savvy of a national law firm with the nimble, service-oriented approach of a boutique:
Buy- and Sell-Side ExperienceWe serve a broad range of clients on both the buy and sell sides, including:
Industry Experience
Strategic Services
2013 Mergers and Acquisitions Tombstone
2012 Mergers and Acquisitions Tombstone
2011 Mergers and Acquisitions Tombstone
2010 Mergers and Acquisitions Tombstone
2009 Mergers and Acquisitions Tombstone
Many mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures do not raise antitrust problems. For those transactions that do, Manatt attorneys know how to guide a deal through the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) review process at the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice. We are skilled at securing early termination of the HSR waiting period and answering any requests for further information in a manner that keeps clients' timelines on track. We also handle the antitrust implications of licensing arrangements, joint ventures and strategic alliances, particularly those that involve exclusive dealing or trade secret disclosure problems.
Manatt professionals have extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions of financial institutions (intrastate and interstate, entire organizations as well as selected operations). We consistently rank among the top firms for merger and acquisition transactions in the financial industry. We have handled many acquisitions and roll-up transactions for major banking clients, helped other clients sell, buy and merge with financial institutions nationwide, helped financial institutions acquire insurance agencies and leasing companies, and facilitated Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) receivership acquisitions. The range of transaction structures that we have facilitated in the banking industry include:
Our Banking practice group can handle all regulatory issues under the Bank Holding Company Act, Bank Merger Act, Change in Bank Control Act, and many other applicable federal and state statutes. In addition, we handle required approvals by the Federal Reserve Board, the Comptroller of the Currency, the FDIC and other federal and state regulators.
Manatt attorneys have the business skill and technical knowledge to help our corporate clients take advantage of the strategic opportunities presented by distressed loan and asset acquisitions. We assist creditors of multinational and non-U.S. NYSE-listed companies in assertion of their rights and in restructuring of debtors, both within and outside the insolvency procedures of the U.S. and other jurisdictions. In today's business environment, billions of dollars in quality assets are purchased out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy each year. We frequently represent existing clients looking to acquire assets of a bankrupt competitor, or new clients referred to us by parties in a bankruptcy filing who know our track record of successful distressed asset purchases. We use the techniques of a traditional corporate acquisition to shape the purchase strategy most advantageous to our client. We are familiar with brokers and financial institutions that facilitate distressed asset acquisitions, as well as the hedge fund community, and understand their strategies. We focus on crafting a bid with the features best calculated to meet the needs of creditors and secure the approval of the bankruptcy court.
Our corporate counseling activities encompass all aspects of financing mergers and acquisitions, including leveraged buyouts and management buyouts. We are highly experienced in public offerings and private placements of debt and equity securities for transaction financing. We also deal with traditional financing vehicles, including senior credit facilities, as well as mezzanine, subordinated and vendor-facilitated debt facilities and roll-up strategies. We help clients prepare and file registration statements and proxy statements.
Executive compensation and employee benefits issues arise in every M&A transaction and very often influence the form and structure of the transaction. Manatt's employee benefit attorneys work with our M&A team to handle the due diligence phase of the transaction to identify potential benefit liabilities, negotiate the applicable transaction documents and assist in various transition issues. We assess and allocate the benefit and contractual liabilities that may accompany the acquisition or disposition of ongoing businesses among the parties involved. The participation of our employee benefit attorneys often involves the design and drafting of equity participation arrangements and golden parachute agreements, for which we analyze the potential income and tax implications.
We often provide our clients with advice on issues of executive retention, severance arrangements and post-transaction workforce and benefit plan integration. We advise selling and acquiring companies about the impact of unfunded pension, healthcare and other benefit plan liabilities as they relate to the value of the acquired company and to restrictive covenants in the acquisition financing.
When mergers and acquisitions involve energy and resource interests, as well as industry sectors which raise environmental liability concerns, Manatt's M&A counselors work closely with the firm's energy, environment and resource attorneys to perform pretransaction due diligence and assessment to minimize or eliminate environmental problems. Our work includes evaluation of prior or current business location operations, on-site and off-site disposal practices and potential liability to or from adjacent property owners. We help clients achieve their strategic objectives, while both protecting against and allocating risk and liability. As a result, for example, we have been very effective in facilitating asset purchases and sales in the energy industry.
We handle the intellectual property aspects of merger and acquisition deals for licensors and licensees involving motion pictures, television programming and book publishing. Our firm has worked in all aspects of business combinations that produce and internationally distribute feature films, music and digital rights. Manatt attorneys advise clients on new and emerging protection and digital rights management issues, as well as more traditional matters involving rights clearance, global work-for-hire concerns, and the scope of fair use involving motion pictures, new media and Internet technologies and applications. We negotiate and draft complex copyright development, transfer and licensing agreements, and advise on the tax consequences when a client acquires, sells or licenses intellectual property. Our work also includes due diligence on entertainment-related companies, and on the entertainment-specific aspects of M&A deals.
As a national leader in health law, Manatt has extensive experience in acquisitions of publicly held and private healthcare businesses, including leveraged buy-out transactions as well as mergers and divestitures. We assemble a multidisciplinary team to make sure that hospitals and medical centers are positioned to avoid investigation or litigation of antitrust claims over delivery of healthcare services. Our work with nonprofit hospitals and health systems also includes related issues, such as the tax treatment of divesting for-profit subsidiaries and divisions, and mergers or joint ventures with for-profit and other nonprofit organizations. We prepare all regulatory filings and secure necessary government approvals.
We are unsurpassed at crafting business transactions that enable our clients to realize maximum value from their intellectual property portfolios. Manatt IP attorneys form joint ventures and strategic affiliations, and play key roles in structuring mergers and acquisitions. Often our work is on behalf of emerging growth companies in advanced technology applications. We represent their intellectual property rights as part of an overall growth strategy through business combinations. Our attorneys draft and negotiate "straight" patent licenses, cross-licenses, assignment and "license-back" agreements, as well as manufacturing agreements related to acquisitions and joint-operating ventures. In addition, we work to determine maximum evaluation, exploitation and protection strategies for all intellectual assets involved in business combinations.
The M&A group advises U.S. and foreign clients on cross-border mergers and acquisitions and related tax and finance considerations. International business combinations frequently involve the exchange of stock registered in another country. We set up the deal structures that make such exchanges possible and advise shareholders on the tax treatment of the stock they receive. In non-stock combinations with foreign partners, we ensure that the deal is structured to minimize the tax consequences, and make certain that the intellectual property and investment rights of our clients are protected.
Beyond these direct business combination transactions, our ManattJones subsidiary helps clients develop and implement strategies to penetrate domestic and international markets through targeted acquisitions. It offers guidance to buying and selling companies regarding international market trends and opportunities, so they can make informed decisions on acquiring, keeping or divesting foreign operations. In transactions our ManattJones consultants offer a full range of business services, including:
Our guidance has been particularly effective in transactions involving newly privatized businesses. For example, with the help of the professionals at ManattJones, a U.S. insurance company made a nearly $1 billion acquisition of a privatized Mexican insurance company.
Labor and employment issues can be among the most contentious aspects of complex M&A transactions. Our attorneys analyze the relevant labor contract and employee issues and advise on the due diligence investigations. One of our primary goals is to ensure that all facilities involved in a transaction comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Act. For all large employers, we counsel impacted parties on any requirements of WARN (Worker Adjustment and Restructuring Notice act) and CAL-WARN. In preparing documentation and due diligence for M&A transactions, we assess and allocate (among the parties involved) the benefit and contractual liabilities that may accompany the acquisition or disposition of ongoing businesses.
We also handle post-acquisition planning regarding union organizing campaigns, collective bargaining, unfair labor practices, employee policies (including trade secret and confidentiality issues, avoidance of violence in the workplace, arbitration and equal employment opportunity counseling) and litigation that might arise with employees or former employees following any transaction.
Manatt is a recognized leader in handling complex securities and corporate governance disputes involving mergers and acquisitions. We represent general partners, investment advisers, corporate officers and directors, underwriters, brokers, lenders and insurers in SEC proceedings and actions by state and industry regulators, with a particular emphasis on defending allegations of fraud and misrepresentation. Our litigators also defend corporate officers and directors in federal and state securities class actions and derivative lawsuits over mergers and acquisitions, and related disclosure issues.
Manatt regularly handles the special organization issues of corporate transactions involving multiple not-for-profits, such as mergers and asset acquisitions, or the sale of substantially all of a nonprofit's assets. For example, we provide antitrust and trade regulations counseling to guide the merger and acquisition activities of nonprofits such as health systems and trade associations.
We are particularly adept at counsel involving real estate investment trust (REIT) operations, including the purchase and sale of assets, as well as mergers and acquisitions. Our experience is part of Manatt's general capabilities in resolving tax, environmental, development and valuation issues related to the acquisition, development, holding and disposition of interests in real estate.
Manatt lawyers have the business experience and tax expertise to ensure that merger and acquisition deals incorporate the necessary tax planning to minimize federal, state and transactional taxes. When acting as seller's counsel in a stock acquisition, we often utilize structures that combine cash and stock payment for maximum benefit, when stock can be received in payment by the seller tax-free. When representing sellers in an asset acquisition, we focus on issues such as avoiding two levels of tax and utilization of net operating issues. We also work to structure capital gains taxes to the seller's maximum advantage.
Our attorneys often advise buyer clients on depreciation, amortization and net operating loss strategies in the deal structure that provide substantial tax advantages once they assume control of the purchased business. We also help buyers (as well as prospective investors and lenders) with the tax aspects of financing the acquisition, particularly with regard to how tax considerations affect their borrowing costs in deals that emphasize cash. We also have substantial experience in the tax advantages of structuring divestitures by way of spin-offs or redemptions, and in structuring partnerships, limited liability companies and other transactional entities. When the transaction has cross border aspects, we provide advice and planning on international as well as domestic tax aspects.
We use our skill as business advisors to help growing technology companies accelerate their market penetration through strategic business combinations and alliances. As emerging technology companies often offer employees ownership in the company as a step toward further growth, we assist clients when corporate takeovers, mergers and acquisitions, and spin-offs and divestitures involve stock options and other complex equity compensation issues.
Our work in the technology area is extremely diverse. We represent clients in software development and licensing, hardware development and manufacturing, medical devices, life sciences and telecommunications. We organize and obtain financing for biotechnology start-ups and represent them in mergers valued in the billions of dollars. Our M&A work for technology companies also involves growth opportunities that facilitate the acquisition of smaller companies by those with greater resources and marketing advantages.

Bella Swan's marriage to Edward Cullen was one of the most anticipated events of the year, even if it was fictional. In the newest installment of the Twilight saga, Breaking Dawn Part 1, fans get to see the wedding played out before their eyes - everything from Bella's hairstyle to Edward's tailcoat.
Bella's makeup for her wedding was simple and natural, yet elegant, making it one that many viewers may want to replicate. Luckily for Bella fans, actress Kristin Stewart's makeup artist for Twilight, Stacey Panepinto, explains exactly how to achieve this look on BellaSugar.com.
Panepinto based the entire makeup design around a smokey eye, which directors felt would go with mother-in-law of the bride Alice Cullen's "vision" for the wedding, since she plans the ceremony in the film. To achieve eyes like Bella's, Panepinto recommends sweeping a light, shimmery eye shadow over eyelids and up to the brow bone. Then, apply dark eye liner to the top lid and blend a darker eye shadow color up, starting at the lash line.
Since the focal point is the eye makeup, Panepinto recommends finishing the look with a sheer pink blush and pink-toned lip gloss.

A Comparison of Human Impacts on Mammals 2011
Humans have an unmistakable effect on the environment. Scientists continue to study the effects that people, both tourists and natives, have on the landscape and the species that live there. Using a variety of monkeys as the primary subject for this study, the results show that the human impact can have damaging repercussions on the monkeys. Their numbers dwindle because of competition with humans for food, as well as exposure to disease or being the target of hunters. If the area being studied is to heal and return to its natural state, it could take years to achieve this goal.

Located directly across from the Eiffel Tower, La Réserve Paris stays true to its name through interior architect Remi Tessier's refined take on discreet opulence. La Réserve prides itself on its soft lighting and subdued monochromatic aesthetic, inviting guests to relish the noble grace of rosewood, ebony, sycamore, stone, and slate. Tessier, who has collected accolades for luxury yacht designs, showcases the linkage between functional design and clean elegance. Guests can imagine soaring away on sublimely modernist furnishings by Andrée Putman, Maxalto, Flos, and Vitra. And with the exception of the sumptuous four-poster beds and the high double windows, everything from the plush Flexform chairs to the twin marble sinks in the bathrooms is symmetrically aligned. Combining the latest technological advances with stunning contemporary decor, La Réserve Paris is an exceptional, prestigious base designed for total comfort and privacy, down to the smallest detail.
Private Paradise
True to its name, La Réserve's 10 short- and long-term apartments shy away from outright opulence, preferring refined affluence to the cutting edge. The hotel's most striking elements are smart lines and feng shui. Here, the emphasis is on privacy, and many of the multilevel apartments boast private office, dining, and landscaped garden areas. Interior architect Rémi Tessier, who has collected accolades for his work designing luxury yachts, seems to have an iron grip on functional design, using space elegantly and efficiently in suites that could, because of their exceptional equilibrium, be compared to the extravagant watercrafts sailing the Mediterranean.
Rémi Tessier
Much of La Réserve's sleek furniture utilizes natural color palettes with contrasting shades of black and ecru. Celebrated designer Rémi Tessier offers travelers a sophisticated experience in the City of Lights with warm-toned, airy interiors that exude subtle luxury and feature modernist design and Varenna kitchens equipped with Gaggenau appliances.
Raouf Finan & Michel Reybier
Behind La Réserve stand the Lebanese-born, managing director Raouf Finan and the visionary owner Michel Reybier. Located in Geneva, Paris, and Ramatuelle, each property of La Réserve has its own distinct style. Already a magnate in the chocolate, delicatessen, and supermarket industries, Reybier was on vacation in Bali when he met Finan, who at the time was a resourceful general manager of an exclusive resort. After working at New York's illustrious Drake Hotel and studying at Switzerland's top-ranked Glion Institute, Finan had been developing and running luxury hotels in Asia for almost a decade. The two felt an instant affinity. With La Réserve, the pair has struck a balance between, as they see it, someplace inviting but otherworldly, too.'
La Réserve Paris Address
3 avenue d'Eylau, Trocadéro, Passy
Paris 75116,
The neighborhood of Trocadéro in the 16th arrondissement is lined with street-side restaurants and cafés and offers inspiring views of the Eiffel Tower directly across the Seine.

Some homeowners in Beaufort County got a landscaping makeover worthy of a theme park.
Tammy Bennett of Washington won a $5,000 lawn makeover from the Busch Gardens Theme Park in Virginia.
Contestants had to submit a photo of their yard and a personal story on the park's facebook site about why they should win.
Bennett had to have a kidney transplant back in 2006 while she and her husband were renovating their house.
The perfect donor match turned out to be her husband and the transplant was a success. And while the Bennett's did finish the inside of their home they never quite got to the outside.
Eric Elliott of Busch Gardens says, "Obviously with the Bennett family story, with some of the medical issues and things like that, they always wanted to do a nice landscaping job for the house so we were glad as part of the Busch Gardens landscape team, we wanted to be able to bring that beautiful look down here for the Bennett family and make them happy."
More than 20,000 people voted for the Bennett's after reading about their story.

Guests can choose a selection of items from the buffet and also order al momento (cooked to order). Al fresco dining is also available so guests can dine under the stars.
Additional public room enhancements include enlarging Prime 7, the ship's modern American-style steakhouse, to accommodate 60 guests. A new contemporary sculpture at its entrance will set a warm, relaxed tone. The popular Galileo Lounge will also be renewed and redecorated.
As part of the ship's fresh new look, ultra-plush carpeting will be installed throughout the public spaces.

Some details may be speculative, and may turn out to be incorrect.
|This article or section contains insufficient information and is considered as a Stub. You can help GTA Wiki by expanding it as much as you can.
The Comfort Coupé (unofficially named) is a four door car making its debut appearance in Grand Theft Auto V.
This car appears to be influenced by German styling, drawing insipration from the first generation Volkswagen CC. The front end of this car features a dominant chrome-finished central grille formation, which increases in width with height along the front. At the bottom of the formation there is a shallow, central vent which spans half the bumper width. Either side of this vent there are equally shallow vents, whose inner edges are parallel to the outer edge of the central formation. The lower edges of the headlamp units coincide with the lower edge of the main grille. The upper edge of the headlamp units coincides with the top edge of the central formation. The curves that form the edges for the bonnet/ hood elevation run from a top corner of the formation to its corresponding corner of the windscreen.
- The colour of the car featured in the screenshot may be paying reference to a special edition of the VW CC, known as the "Gold Coast Edition".

The Best Model Ships for Children
While the hobby of model ship collecting can seem a bit stuffy at times, not everything in it is so mundane. There are many model ships out there that emphasize imagination and fun above everything else. Therefore, model ships are not restricted to adults but can also be pastimes of children as well. There is also a plethora of model ships out there that appeal to children because they are mysterious, spooky, and/or simply fun to play with. Children have vivid imaginations that tend to run wild, and when paired with a model ship there are all sorts of adventures for them to get into to. From ships in a bottle, to pirate ships, to remote controlled speed boats, kids can have plenty of fun with model ships.
The Cutty Sark Ship in a Bottle
Kids love ships in bottles. The Cutty Sark Ship in a Bottle makes a great toy for your kid to share at their school's show and tell. Other children will be fascinated and wonder how the ship managed to get inside the bottle. However, with a kids overactive mind chances are the ship in a bottle will eventually find itself afloat up a creek or stream! The Cutty Sark is only $19.99, and is 11″ in length, 4″ in width, and 5″ in height.
The Caribbean Pirate
The Caribbean Pirate is another great model ship for children. Pirate ships are fascinating to our imaginations and children will love to have and play with their very own pirate ship! The Caribbean Pirate ship is made out of resin and is painted black, white, and burgundy. This model is only $9.99, and is 7″ long, 2″ wide, and 6″ high.
The RC Chris Craft Dual Cockpit
The model ships children will love most are without a doubt the remote controlled speed boats. These boats, while expensive, offer the most fun out of all of the model ships for children. The RC Chris Craft Dual Cockpit is a fast speed craft that gets up to 25 mph! With such a high speed, children will have countless hours of fun with this speedboat. This model is also realistically created, with gauges that resemble the real thing and are not simply painted on. Furthermore, it is made from heartwood honduras mahogany, which is one of the finest mahoganies available and is usually used on actual boats. At $699, this model ship may be a little steep in the price range, but it is guaranteed that your children will have fun with it.
Usually, the best model ships for children are found to be the models that cater to the imagination and to an overall fun experience. There are many model ships out there that are suitable for children. You simply just have to figure out what your child favors and then go from there. Model ship collecting is a fun hobby and it is never too early to start!

[♪ music ♫] Dennis Publishing was launched in 1973, and we're based in London in the heart of media land, near SoHo. [James Billington, Editor, iGIZMO] We've got nearly 50 titles on our books, ranging from print to digital, mobile websites, and websites. iGIZMO is aimed at the real gadget lovers and those who have a keen interest consumer technology as well. Since we launched on the iPad back in September 2010, we've been to the top of the iTunes charts twice. We really do dedicate ourselves to bringing people the latest and greatest shiny, awesome toys they want to spend their money on. [Ross Burridge, Head of Emergng Platforms, Dennis Publishing] Bringing iGIZMO to the iPad was a really big step forward, principally because one of the great things about the iPad is that the hardware disappears into the background, and editorially it just brings the content right to the fore, so the user experience is just so much more of a pleasure. When we first saw iGIZMO on the tablet, we were blown away. It really felt like this product was designed for this platform. Everything was so immediate. It was much more of a tangible reading experience. And it goes well beyond what you read in a traditional sense. You play with features, and you can watch videos, look at 360s, panoramas. It was so much more engaging, and it's almost like a new form of light entertainment rather than a reading experience. [Russell Clark, Creative Director, iGIZMO] Creating tablet editions of iGIZMO using the Digital Publishing tools has been a challenge, but we've been making digital magazines for a number of years not using Adobe Flash based technology, so incorporating our workflow to accommodate the tablets has been surprisingly easy. Digital Publishing tools offer a very straightforward and logical process to making these magazines. So adapting our workflow was very easy, and it's made for a very efficient production process in terms of making these magazines. It's a massively complicated process to get from an editorial idea through to a fully-fledged digital magazine and make it look easy. What was attractive about the Adobe solution was that every single little stage of that had been really well thought through. We started off on the iPad, which has been fantastically successful. We've moved on to Android, so there are versions of iGIZMO that work on the Zune and on the Galaxy Tab. We've got versions for BlackBerry PlayBook, and we'll certainly be considering other tablets when they arrive. [Jonathan Kitchen, Commercial Director, Dennis Publishing] The tablet application going live has seen a constant increase in new readers. These are readers that are coming to brands like iGIZMO's digital-only magazine. They are new readers that are finding it on the iPad. We're seeing an increase of 2000-5000 new readers every week. The iPad edition has given us the opportunity to talk to a huge amount of advertisers, actually. We've created bespoke campaigns for HTC, for Disney, for Range Rover, and also for Mercedes, and that's, again, across our portfolio of digital magazines, which we wouldn't have had an opportunity to work with without certainly the tools and the magazines themselves. The Digital Publishing Suite tools are really cool because it gives me the opportunity to make stuff that I used to dream about as a kid-- touch interfaces and tablet devices and all these products that used to only exist in science fiction and are now reality, and as a designer, being able to produce work for that is incredibly exciting and good fun. Going forward, there's so much we can do with the platform and the product itself. The possibilities are endless. [Adobe]

The Nashua Telegraph reports ( http://bit.ly/J1Uxog) that administrators at the Hollis Primary School called police around 10 a.m. Thursday after they saw the man running around the school, tapping on windows and waving at students.
He was buzzed into the building but fled when he saw a look of alarm on a staffer's face.
Other schools and parents were notified and kids were kept inside for recess.
The man has contacted police to say he was only trying to spread "holiday cheer" and didn't mean to cause panic. Police aren't identifying him because he wasn't charged.

When a challenge specifies that a certain percentage of the lay out needs to be done with GDS products, can past designers' products be included, or just current designers? I want to make sure I do this right.
On a different note, when organizing files/kits, I have a separate folder for GDS products, which contains a folder for each designer. Would you then remove the past designers to a different folder than GDS? Any suggestions on this would be appreciated.

Good stuff, man. Actually, pretty close to be one of the uber tips here for those of us making antique or hand-drawn maps. I will certainly give this a whirl.
Ok, posting this in here at the request of Ravells, although I have to admit I feel a little weird doing so, it hardly constitutes a tutorial, especially amongst all the other great threads in here.
Anyway, that said, here's my little tip for creating a quick, hand-drawn style forest with a kind of, hopefully, seamless manual tiling. (This is copied over from this thread: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=5397)
When I was looking into using a multi-tree brush on my map, I found one good way to do it was to stagger the edges of the brush. Basically, you make your new image, fill it with your tree brushes but at the edges alternate between a tree and a tree-sized gap. That way, when you lay out your forests you just lay the pieces like a jigsaw. It's obviously not as fast as filling a selection with a seamless pattern but it does allow for a little more variation to fool the eye by placing the pieces staggered and maybe leaving some little clearings. Then just go around the edge of the forest and place some individual trees to mask the fact it is done in squares and voila, a nice forest.
No need for feathering to try and mask that it is a pattern and chop trees in half in the process.
Start by making some quick tree brushes.
I made about half a dozen like the following...
Then I whipped up a quick brush from the smaller brushes smaller brushes. As you will see I staggered the edges and added a little pencil-like shading in between which looks very rough but as I am making these a lot bigger than I need it looks ok when they are made smaller.
I then sketched out a very, very quick forest with this brush. It took me about 10 seconds or so. The brush isn't perfect so there is overlapping in places but that can be fixed with more care spent over the original brush and with better placement. I also added some single trees around the edge with one of the brushes I used to make the main forest brush.
As you can see, it can look very effective with minimal effort. At least I think so. The staggered edge helps mask the fact that this was made using a shortcut technique. Certainly you have more control than over a seamless pattern fill.
I hope this helps someone.

Thanks Ramah....I think you'll find your techique being used in hand drawn maps a lot....espcially mine!
I agree. It may not seem like much, but this is really sharp. Just a little bit of work up front to make the tiles and then a lot of ground covered quick after that. Staggering the trees at the edges is a fab idea.
This is right up my alley. Thanks for sharing!

5 Wedding Guest Outfits You Will Absolutely Wear Again
Because no one needs a closet full of outfits collecting dust
No matter how many weddings I go to, how many special occasion dresses I own, when it comes time to pack up for a celebratory weekend, I inevitably declare closet bankruptcy. I've made the mistake too many times of buying a dress on a whim before a special event, only to have it sit, unworn, for years after. Which is why I've begun to employ two rules when shopping for wedding guest attire:
- Nothing too expensive. No amount of specialness is worth it if I'm only going to wear it a few times.
- APW Happy Hour
- What It Looks Like When You Stand in a Powerful Beam of 200 People Who Love You

Paris, France (Sports Network) - Victoria Azarenka thumped former champion
Francesca Schiavone to open play Monday at the French Open.
The third-seeded Azarenka won the final nine games in a 6-3, 6-0 fourth-round
rout to reach the French Open quarterfinals for the third time. The reigning
two-time Australian Open champ, though, has never been to the semifinals at
Roland Garros.
Schiavone won the 2010 French title and was the 2011 runner-up. The Italian
veteran hasn't been past fourth round of a major since her loss to Li Na in
the 2011 French finale.
Azarenka will next play the winner between 12th-seeded Russian Maria Kirilenko
and American Bethanie-Mattek Sands.
Two other fourth-round matches are on Monday's schedule, as defending champion
Maria Sharapova will meet American Sloane Stephens and Jelena Jankovic will
take on another American in Jamie Hampton.
Former champions Serena Williams and Svetlana Kuznetsova were among Sunday's
fourth-round winners and will meet in the quarterfinals. Sara Errani, last
year's runner-up to Sharapova, also advanced Sunday and will play Agnieszka
Radwanska in the quarterfinals.

Today's designer faces two fundamental challenges: the expanding influence of design within society and the growing role of technology within design. As a terminal degree, the two-year, 60-credit MFA in Design and Technology (MFA DT) provides students with a lively and dynamic environment in which to use design research, process, applied theory, and writing to address these challenges. Students push their experimentation beyond the visual: Design is seen as a mechanism for developing strategies, knowledge organization, business structures, and social consciousness.
Building on the expertise of our faculty and networks in New York and abroad, Parsons will offer MFA DT on our new
Paris campus starting in fall 2014. Students enrolled in the program, whether their home campus is located in New York or in Paris, have the same curriculum and will have the opportunity to begin their studies in one city and spend a year or a semester in the other.
Bootcamp to the final Thesis Symposium, faculty members, who are active design practitioners, encourage students to pursue forward-looking creative, commercial, research-based, educational, and art-based career paths. Areas of study include Interaction (mobile, games, Web, and installation), Physical Computing (programming code and chip-based applications such as toys, fashion, media in architecture, and performance technology), 2D and 3D Animation, Motion Graphics, and Digital Filmmaking.
Through dynamic collaborations with
external partnerships, other universities, and not-for-profit organizations, students make award-winning design projects and have opportunities to exhibit at venues worldwide. As a result, MFA DT alumni are leaders in a variety of groundbreaking innovative enterprises.

Though it works on the same principle as a compound bow with wheels and cams, the Compound Crossbow has a unique design. It features a trigger mechanism that holds the string in place until the archer releases its projectile, known as the bolt. A crossbow frame resembles a rifle stock and features a top rail for attaching a telescopic sight. The bolt rests on the rail and is held in place by a retention spring. The limbs function similar to a compound bow, but are much shorter. Before using, read and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
The Recurve is another popular style of crossbow. Similar to the recurve bow, it features limbs that sweep back and forward at the tips, giving it more potential energy. There are no wheels or cams to break and no cables and cable savers to change. Recurve Crossbows are also generally lighter than the compound crossbows. This style also uses a bolt which is held in place by a retention spring. Before using, read and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Important! Consult local laws on the use of crossbows for target shooting and hunting.
The safest way for a hunter to unload a crossbow is to fire the bolt into a suitable target or rock-free ground (avoiding stones and debris). You should carry a practice bolt with a field point and use it for unloading.
Safety first! Do not have your crossbow in the cocked position while traveling to and from your hunting site.

Hasbro, the company behind Monopoly, My Little Pony, G.I. Joe and other toy brands, said Monday that it bought a 70 percent stake in Backflip Studios for $112 million in cash.
Founded in 2009, the Boulder, Colo., company's games include DragonVale, NinJump and Paper Toss. It says its games have been downloaded more than 300 million times.
Toy makers want to adapt and reinvent old brands as the industry faces a slowdown in developed markets such as the U.S. and Europe, where mobile devices and electronics are stealing attention away from traditional toys. Buying Backflip fits into Hasbro's strategy of extending brands into different formats, said Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner in a statement Monday.
Backflip will continue with its own product development and create mobile games featuring Hasbro brands. Backflip's management team will still run the company.
Hasbro, which is based in Pawtucket, R.I., expects the deal to be neutral to, or slightly boost, its 2013 financial results.
Hasbro shares rose 21 cents to $46.82 in afternoon trading.

Positive psychology is the scientific study of human happiness. The history of psychology as a science shows that the field has been primarily dedicated to addressing mental illness rather than mental wellness. Its research programs and application models have dealt mainly with how people are wrong rather than how they are right. The need to correct this bias was anticipated in psychological writings as early as those of the American psychologist and philosopher William James. In his 1902 book, The Varieties of Religious Experience, James argues that happiness is a chief concern of human life and those who pursue it should be regarded as "healthy-minded." Several humanistic psychologists—such as Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers, and Erich Fromm—developed successful theories and practices that involved human happiness despite there being a lack of solid empirical evidence behind their work. However, it is the pioneering research of Martin Seligman, Ed Diener, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Christopher Peterson, and many others that promises to put the study of human happiness onto a firm scientific foundation and add some positivity to the predominantly negative discipline of psychology.
Positive psychology can be delineating into three overlapping areas of research:
- Research into the Pleasant Life or the "life of enjoyment" examines how people optimally experience, forecast, and savor the positive feelings and emotions that are part of normal and healthy living (e.g. relationships, hobbies, interests, entertainment, etc.).
- The study of the Good Life or the "life of engagement" investigates the beneficial affects of immersion, absorption, and flow that individuals feel when optimally engaged with their primary activities. These states are experienced when there is a positive match between a person's strength and the task they are doing, i.e. when they feel confident that they can accomplish the tasks they face.
- Inquiry into the Meaningful Life or "life of affiliation" questions how individuals derive a positive sense of well-being, belonging, meaning, and purpose from being part of and contributing back to something larger and more permanent than themselves (e.g. nature, social groups, organizations, movements, traditions, belief systems).
The development of the Character Strengths and Virtues (CSV) handbook represents the first attempt on the part of the research community to identify and classify the positive psychological traits of human beings. Much like the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) of general psychology, the CSV provides a theoretical framework to assist in developing practical applications for positive psychology. This so-called "Manual of the Sanities" identifies six classes of virtue (i.e. "core virtues") made up of twenty-four measurable character strengths.[1] The organization of these virtues and strengths is as follows:
- Wisdom and Knowledge: creativity, curiosity, open-mindedness, love of learning, perspective
- Courage: bravery, persistence, integrity, vitality
- Humanity: love, kindness, social intelligence
- Justice: citizenship, fairness, leadership
- Temperance: forgiveness and mercy, humility and modesty, prudence, self-regulation
- Transcendence: appreciation of beauty and excellence, gratitude, hope, humor, spirituality
Practical applications of positive psychology include helping individuals and organizations correctly identify their strengths and use them to increase and sustain their respective levels of happiness. Therapists, counselors, coaches, and various other psychological professional can use the new methods and techniques to build and broaden the lives of individuals who are not necessarily suffering from mental illness or disorder.
See also
- ↑ There is a suggestion in the introductory portion of the CSV that these six virtues are so consistently identifiable across cultures and throughout history that they may, in theory, be universal in nature. Notwithstanding numerous cautions and caveats, this suggestion of universality hints that in addition to trying to broaden the scope psychological research to include mental wellness, the leaders of the positive psychology movement are challenging moral relativism and suggesting that virtue has both a biological and a cultural basis. This suggestion and others like it show some alignment between positive psychology and evolutionary psychology.

Google Hangouts are increasingly being utilized by groups to present conversations with people in disparate locations to a wide audience. So it was exciting to be sitting front and center—so to speak—at last week's YTH Live Google Hangout being hosted by one of my favorite organizations, ISIS (Internet Sexuality Information Services – if you don't know them, check them out!), in preparation for the April YTH Live Conference, focusing on new and social media use and technology in the sexual health promotion space for teens.
The topic was using mobile technology, specifically text messaging, in the sexual health context. As someone who utilizes new media in all my projects, I was excited to hear what the panelists had to say, and see if my experiences were borne out in their work as well. The lineup was great, featuring Tom Subak from Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Dr. Pamela Johnson from Voxiva (developer of the great mobile maternal and newborn health program Text4Baby), Sam McKelvie from Mobile Commons, and Eric Leven from RipRoad. It was hosted by ISIS's Executive Director and Founder, Deb Levine (who, incidentally was instrumental as the launcher of Go Ask Alice!, and as a former Alice! Health Promotion Office employee for a couple of years, I wanted to make sure to plug that).
The first question broached by Deb was around the key trends around people seeking out health information. Tom mentioned that young people are constantly and consistently surrounded by media and information sources—literally at the tip of their fingers, so finding the answers they need is way easier than it was before the advent of new media. In this vein—and luckily, I might add—it is pretty easy to ask what were historically difficult questions. Thoughts and questions about sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy and abortion don't require the same mustering of public courage required in asking another person face-to-face about a pressing health issue.
Tom also noted something that I have definitely seen as a sexual health educator—people are usually seeking this information in moments of crisis and anxiety. It's in these crisis moments that text messaging can play an important role. Waiting for an email response or waiting for someone to answer a question on Tumblr or Facebook—while still far quicker than waiting for an appointment with a healthcare professional—is not as quick as being able to text a worried query and getting an immediate response. One of the most fascinating things I heard in the entire Hangout was when Eric discussed his team's Know HIV campaign, an integrated new media campaign encouraging people to get tested for HIV. He said that the busiest time for people accessing information about HIV was in the early morning hours—either it's the time when people are mulling over the issue, or it's the time right after they've had sex or potential exposure to HIV and are seeking out information immediately. Having that information easily accessible in those moments can be crucial, and can also help people plan their next steps.
My favorite part of the Hangout was when the speakers were addressing two-way communication. In my own work as well as the projects on which I have advised digital strategy, I try to emphasize two major tenets: One, interactivity is key. New media truly embodies the idea of call and response, and for the conversation to be kept going you need to answer questions as well pose them, and engage followers in creative ways. I've done this with polls, questions, trivia that awards responders, and the solicitation of input from my most vocal network members.
Sam underscored how to address that issue, noting that two-way communication doesn't necessarily mean organizations need someone dedicated to personal responses—great news for folks with small budgets and for people working on a consultant basis. The example given was if you text a client "Did you get a flu shot?" you can have a few answers set depending on the person's response. If their text back is "Yes," you can have automatic answers setup to push to the client saying, "Great, don't forget to remind your friends!" If their text back is no, then automatic messages can be sent saying, "Here is where you can get a shot close to you," sending a link to a nearby clinic based on their location or directing them to a site giving them more details.
The second point I generally emphasize is that you need to treat your social and new media networks similar to the way you treat your in-person networks—essentially, it's just relationship building in another context. This is partly accomplished by the first tenet, interactivity, but it's also accomplished by paying attention to the work of your followers and supporting it, as well as reaching out to build collaborations and coalitions with other like-minded groups, increasing the internet-based safe spaces. (The collaborations are not solely web-based, of course. Pamela emphasized that the public health departments and medical professionals who supported Text4Baby and encouraged their patients to sign up were key, and it's always a good idea to increase the number of sources of information about sexual and reproductive health.)
There are few organizations who can thrive in new media spaces by just blasting their own content—the New York Times is the only one I can think of. For my work implementing HIV and sexual health programs on Facebook and Tumblr, paying attention to the work of my followers and voicing my appreciation and admiration of their own work made significant headway in how trusting my audience was. In terms of sexual health specifically, this is also meeting teens where they're at—Sam mentioned this as being essential from a programmatic perspective, but it's also essential in terms of a behavior change perspective. When I worked with teens and young adults on risk behavior change around sex and substance, the greatest indicator of their success was my ability to assess where they were in terms of thinking about changing their behavior, and help them dissect some of their ambivalence and tease out their true questions (motivational interviewing, for all you health behavior professionals!). New media is a great space in which to do this, because the conversation feels sustained and continuous, and it's easy to see one's progression over the course of time. And paying attention to where those conversations are happening is also key—Tumblr has been the busiest platform for my sexual health interventions, which speaks to its popularity among teens, followed by Facebook and Twitter, the latter of which people seem to use as reminders and the former being a good platform for asking questions.
Lastly, the question of how to select the right mobile media tool to implement your public health message was brought up. Eric's response was that text message was king, since you can access people who are otherwise difficult to reach on other platforms. I tend to agree with this, since other platforms tend to require more initiation on the part of the individual, and populations have to do some seeking out on their own. Text message pushes allow your message to be sent to larger numbers of people across greater demographics, and with more frequency. Sam noted that teens of color and teens in lower-income communities who may not have full web access actually text the most, and information being sent via text can be even more helpful for these teens. That being said, I fully believe the integration of multiple new media platforms tends to ensure greatest success.

Name: Baeya St. Claire
Age: 17
Race: Human
Appearance: Baeya stands at the medium tall height of five foot six, is somewhat stocky with muscle but still fairly thin. Her hair is naturally blonde and her eyes brown. She can be seen mostly in plaid button up shirts and shorts or blue jeans. She isn't really bothered by the latest fashion or wearing make up,and also really doesn't care about things that are girly.
Personality: A tomboy at heart. Baeya isn't afraid to get down and dirty with the best of them, and won't stop training herself to be the best. However she is jealous of the Chemicals. She thinks things come to them way to easy, that their genes make it so they are so much better than humans. in short she won't blatantly hate on a Chemical but getting her to talk to or be friends with one might not be very easy. she's a free spirit that can't be contained, and she hardly pays attention to rules.
Extra: Baeya comes from a prejudice family.
Name: Marcus Fayette
Age: 47
Race: Human
Appearance: Marcus is tall and wiry, more lean than muscular. His strength is mostly in his upper body and its easier for him to teach combat or tactical shooting classes. His hair is somewhat descending and graying heavily, showing because of his black hair. He isn't yet completely wrinkly, but there are age lines around his eyes and mouth. His eyes are slate gray. He dresses sensibly, jeans, t-shirts, never anything really suitable for a teacher.
Personality: Brave and Smart are two of his most identifiable traits. He won't back down from a challenge either, and has vowed to protect this world with his life. As a full Guardian he makes sure the kids get the proper training they need. He isntexactly the most strict instructor and often goofs off on the job. He's been known to often take the Trainees on field days more than allowed, but thus far has never gotten in trouble for it.
Extra: none.

- The Print
- The Artist
Vincent Van Gogh (1853 – 1890) was a Dutch post-Impressionist Master whose innovative artwork powerfully influenced modern Expressionism, Fauvism, and early abstraction. Astoundingly prolific, Van Gogh produced all of his work during a 10-year period, at one point, creating 150 paintings and drawings within one year. Painting outdoors, Van Gogh uniquely captured the nighttime nuances of light and shadow, and was also renowned for his paintings of sunflowers and irises. Tormented by mental illness for most of his life, Van Gogh created many of his masterpieces while he was institutionalized. Although Van Gogh only sold one painting during his lifetime, he is now regarded as one of the most profoundly influential artists of the 19th century.
