Hello, I am looking for any pokemon that can beat Lance in the elite four (heart gold).
Around level 60 would be more than enough.
I stopped playing the game, but my younger brother started it and he can't win the league.
I can give you your pokemon back Ginji once he wins them.
I can even trade you a pokemon from my platinum and then you can trade with my heart gold, but this would be time consuming. I don't have a problem, however.
Thanks in advance!
my platinum fc: 0861 0965 3604

Family or friend of a resident
After a lot of searching and comparing different communities for my uncle, we never felt the love and compassion from any facility like we have with Garden Village. Not only is it one of the most beautiful facilities when you drive up, but when you walk inside you drop your jaw in awe. The service from the staff and on-site managers has been 5-star. The food incredible and the other residents made my uncle feel like family right away. And the cost was much more reasonable than most the others, and with more amenities. Amenities and services that mattered to my uncle, not just what I would like. Truly the best decision we could have made. You have to go see them to grasp all they really do and the awe of it all.

Editor's Note: This post is presented in partnership with Time Warner Cable Movies On Demand in support of May's Indie Film Month. "How to Make Money Selling Drugs" is currently available to view On Demand.
Matthew Cooke's documentary "How To Make Money Selling Drugs" is just as provocative and informative as the title suggests. The slickly produced film functions as a how-to guide for blossoming drug dealers; employing a format of different "levels," the viewer can climb on the road from lowly street dealer to international cartel lord.
With producers Adrian Grenier and Bert Marcus, Cooke provides an insightful guide to the lucrative and violent drug industry, ultimately revealing some of its deeper horrors and the imperfections of U.S. drug policy. The documentary enlists a lineup of law enforcement officers, drug dealers, and rights advocates (including Susan Sarandon, Woody Harrelson, and "The Wire" creator David Simon) that offer first-person accounts and fascinating stories.
I called up Cooke to discuss the drug industry, the crisis of democracy, and how to engage viewers in U.S. drug policy. "How To Make Money Selling Drugs" is now available nationwide on demand.
The first thing I wanted to ask you about was the subject of the film. How did you land on the topic of the war on drugs, or develop an interest in that?
I had read Howard Zinn's book "A People's History of the United States," and thought that it was a great way to tell history, a better way to tell history than we're used to. And I've seen that in entertainment and in fiction, where we get to see the point of view of the drug dealer, of him or herself, but I hadn't seen that in a documentary. I thought that was more important to do than any other way in order to understand why people actually get into this "game" in the first place.
I also assume that you were interested in exposing some of the policy surrounding this issue.
Well, I think the United States has a kind of crisis right now with democracy, in that we are paying attention to-- I mean, the top five subject matter that really are pertinent to us, that may be doing the most damage to our society, we could fix policy change if we were effectively informed to [the] information that we need to do something about. And this is one of those topics.
Yeah, and I think in many cases it's on the back burner for some people, when in reality it is very pertinent.
When Obama is asked about making marijuana legal -- which is maybe the softest thing that we're talking about -- that's the number one question that's asked to Obama online all the time. And the last time he was asked about legalization, he laughed. As if it was a stoner question. And I don't think it's funny, since millions of people are sitting incarcerated in prison. The fact that it's not taken seriously all has to do with perception of marketing.
You mentioned there haven't been many documentaries that have been done about this, or in this style.
Oh, I think there have been many fantastic, fantastic documentaries about the topic. Eugene Jarecki's documentary is great. There's the Frontline PBS documentary that was made not long ago, maybe 10, 15, or 20 years ago, I can't remember. In that PBS documentary there's a clip from Walter Cronkite, however many years ago, asking for an end of the drug war. So I think there's a lot to talk about with that problem. But I think there's a tendency now to have narrowed and skewed for an audience of the choir, and I didn't want to preach to the choir. I didn't want to make a documentary that was going to be seen by the same audience that already agrees with me. So I wanted to take a different approach and try to hit a broader audience, a younger audience, a politically apathetic audience, hence the title.
As far as the title, it's clear that it's intentionally provocative, and the film is styled as a sort of game. When and how did you decide to make the film with a "how-to" structure?
The chapters? And having level one, level two, etc.? It first occurred to me in, let's see…probably about 1994. Yeah, I was sitting over lunch with my dad, and we were talking about different ways to make documentaries -- how to make information that is really important for the public to know be fun. How can it be fun to be worry about stuff that's really sad? I guess I thought that the best way to do that is through the comedy pull. You know, let's sugar-coat the medicine, basically. The word "entertain" just means "engage." How can we do that? So yeah, this was a creative solution. An artistic solution. I came up with the idea in 1996, and it just happens to be more timely now than ever.
How long was the idea bouncing around before you officially started working on it?
After Adrian Grenier and I decided that we would do the project together. He saw the idea thumbtacked to my wall, looking like a Cliffs Notes guide hung up on my idea board. We were just hanging out one day, and he said, 'what is that?' He said, 'that looks really cool.' So I explained it to him and he said, 'let's do it.' Our arrangement was that I was going to produce "Teenage Paparazzo" first, and then he would produce "How to Make Money Selling Drugs" second, and that's what we decided to do.
And you've known [Adrian] for a while?
Yeah, I've known him for over a decade. Since before "Entourage."
I haven't watched "Entourage," but I guess there's some crossover. There's some similar subject matter at play, as far as drug use.
Well, only from the consumption side. "Entourage" certainly featured some of the guys enjoying recreational marijuana use, and then there was an aspect of addiction as part of Vince's character. And there's a culture of how we perceive celebrity. But in terms of the seriousness of the effect of the drug war, that was obviously not necessarily covered by "Entourage."
There are certainly more shows these days that are addressing that. Obviously they aren't identical to what you were doing with the war on drugs, but shows like "Weeds" and "Breaking Bad" cover similar issues.
Oh yeah, "Breaking Bad" is such a great show. And I think a show like "Breaking Bad" or "Weeds" definitely shows how a "normal" person might get into [drug dealing] to make ends meet. And I think that is great. But it might be nice for us to stop thinking of "normal" people as just white, middle-class people. Because regardless of what race you are, you're using drugs at the same rate pretty much of any other race. But the reality is you have a country where you're going to get locked up for possession or sale if you're African American or Latino at a much higher rate than if you're white. And if you're a human being of any conscious whatsoever, that should not be happening.
Another show that also confronted that was "The Wire," and you had the creator [David Simon] and some clips from the show in your film.
I think "The Wire" -- first of all, David Simon is simply one of the smarter people that we could all have the benefit of talking to or listening to when it comes to this subject matter and many others. And "The Wire" was a show that I believe achieves the highest goal of any entertainment. [It is] not only engaging and insightful and moving as it comes to getting to know and follow the dramatic arcs of human beings on a character level, but also understands in a deeper way politically, realities that exist in our society. So what better person to talk to to represent that aspect?
In addition to speaking with David Simon, your film has an interesting and incredibly expansive cast of characters. How did you go about picking those people?
I wrote a list of categories that I wanted to cover, and it was intentional to be as vast and diverse as possible, to represent how broad in scale this issue is. So I came up with a list of ideas for each category. And the only one I failed miserably at was there are no women subjects. That was not intentional. I had two really interesting and compelling women drug dealers that I had interviewed who dropped out at the last minute. They didn't want to be in the picture. There just wasn't time to replace them, unfortunately.
I was surprised not only that so many of those key figures agreed to work on the film, but that they were so excited to tell their stories. They were so gung ho about talking about their experiences.
Well I think the majority of the time what we watch, what we look at is -- intentionally or not -- propaganda, when it comes to documentaries on these topics. And they're propaganda because they're either done in collaboration or cooperation with some organization whose primary objective is to look like they're the moral high ground. So that's one side of it. The other side of it is that the majority of the guys I'm interviewing for the film are turnaround stories. They're stories of people who once were involved in the drug game as a dealer, and now they're sober and doing things that often times have to do with helping people who were in similar situations and wanted to get out of it. So their lives are happier. They're coming from a happy place. And that does two things. One, it creates a nice experience for the audience to hang out with someone who's happy. But it also enables them to put their feet into the shoes of somebody who has traveled a path in life that they didn't. In a way, they want to put themselves in their shoes to really get it and to really understand. And the reason for finding subjects like that is so we can be empathetic. And if we're really empathetic, then we can understand. And if we can really understand, then we can really change what our attitude is towards those people. So we can stop seeing them as "those people." And stop this silly, disabling perspective that we're a country of fugitives and criminals and citizens, and start seeing ourselves as one country with similar problems that are all interconnected.
Who was more difficult to get in touch with or get involved in this project, someone who is a former international drug dealer, or someone like Susan Sarandon?
I think that if you know Susan Sarandon, then she's not a hard person to get a hold of. I think the international drug dealers -- you know, I think if you put your mind to it, most people can find a drug dealer [laughs]. It's one of a few things that you can do.
Was there anyone who surprised you the most with the things they had to say or the stories they had?
There's no doubt that Barry Cooper is one of the most surprising…it's incredibly surprising to hear about him. A top narcotics officer who, upon smoking one joint of marijuana, completely does a 180 degree turn into what he is. [An anti-drug-war lecturer known for his film series "Never Get Busted"]. That story was pretty hilarious. I think the most surprising thing overall for everybody was just how serious it all was, really. I mean, it seems like fun and games, but knowing these guys have good attitudes, and [most of them are] joking around, but we're talking about guys who -- they paid for that lifestyle. They were all in jail. They all got stabbed. A lot of them hurt other people very bad. And the karma, the psychological post traumatic stress disorder of that, it's all very serious stuff. So it wasn't surprising that that was the case, but I think just how deep the rabbit hole went on all sides [was surprising]. Just how horrible the drug war really is. It's really a bad thing. Totally separate from addiction and abuse, we have this other problem that we've created, which is the war on drugs, and just how devastating that problem is. That was surprising. I knew it was bad, that's why I made the movie. But I didn't know how bad. And that innocent people are being put in prison. The reality that SWAT teams are used to prosecute raids on drug possession in homes where people aren't necessarily armed. That there could be a SWAT team busting a house down. Even if it's a house that just has marijuana. I mean, what planet are we on where human beings, where so-called civilized people act like that? It's horrendous. That's shocking.
Do you think any future projects of yours will be similar stylistically or thematically?
Well I think the movie is made in my style. I wrote and directed it, I also was the cinematographer and the editor. I did everything from creating some of the sound effects and dealing with the majority of the motion graphics to painting the backdrops myself. So it's hard to imagine that any other film that I do isn't going to have my style. Whether it will be exactly the same or different, that totally depends on the project.
Do you have any projects lined up that you're working on?
I do, I do. But I'm not announcing them yet. But thank you for asking.

Hey ya'll! I'm a newbie in just about every sense of the word. I'm 35 and before I met the love of my life, Denise, I hadn't been on a bike since I was a kid. Anyways, we're both what could be called 'outdoorsy', however she is a runner and biker (not the leather jacket kind, of course). Anyways, I decided to tag along with her a few months ago on one of her rides and I've been hooked ever since. I started out only doing a pitiful 10 miles at a time. It soon progressed to 15, then 20, then 30, and finally 40 miles (and increasing all the time). What's more is that I'm keeping up with her on this ancient Bridgestone mountain bike. Haha. I'm looking to buy my first road bike because I'm ready to make that first critical purchase. I'm both STOKED & confused all at once. There's so many choices out there. Hopefully I can get some advice as well learn from everyone here in the forum. As far as some info about me: I'm a full time fishing guide, ACA paddling instructor, Army vet/paratrooper (Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Kosovo, etc), and neophyte rider. I look forward to gaining some knowledge from everyone!

A PAGE FROM YOHJI: Now that Yohji Yamamoto has thrown down the gauntlet and moved his show permanently up against couture, rumblings are growing louder that more designers will start showing ready-to-wear during couture week. No one has made a commitment yet, but Didier Grumbach, head of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, said Monday he's not against it. "I hope so," he said. "We have four strong times in Paris and everyone should use those four times as he pleases." Word has it, however, that French luxury giant LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, which has three couture houses: Givenchy, Christian Lacroix and Christian Dior, is strongly opposed to the idea.
This story first appeared in the July 9, 2002 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
On Sunday, Yamamoto was at the launch party for his new book, "Talking to Myself." "My design is hard to understand, at least I think so," he declared. "So I asked a friend of mine, a professor of philosophy at the University of Osaka [Kiyokazu Washida] to explain it by writing a text for me, asking the questions: 'What is fashion? Who is Yamamoto?'"
"And, Who is Yamamoto? He's a man who may retire next year," added the designer with a sly smile. But during the fete at Azzedine Alaïa's massive studio in the Marais, Yamamoto was in fine form, chatting with and receiving congratulations from a bevy of his cohorts, including Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Kenzo Takada, Viktor Horsting, Rolf Snoeren and Martine Sitbon. For her part, Karan enthused as she pored over the pages of Yamamoto's book, which includes a selection of memorable images from his 20-year career. "I remember all of these," she said, rifling through the book with the fervor of a devotee. Then she came across the text in Japanese script and said, "I only wish I could read it." Not to worry, Donna. An English version is available.
Meanwhile, you might call Viktor & Rolf Hedi's newest slim men. The Dutch design duo, in Paris to work on their fragrance with partner L'Oréal, turned up at Alaïa's party for Yamamoto Sunday night wearing Dior Homme suits by Hedi Slimane, with identical shirts and ties. "They're samples," Rolf Snoeren said, clutching the lapels of his slim black jacket. "Hedi sent them to us." But man cannot live by Dior Homme alone. Snoeren confirmed that he and Viktor Horsting are working on a men's collection, which will be unveiled in January for fall 2003 retailing.
IMITATION OF DIOR: There was a fashion emergency of sorts outside the Christian Dior couture show Monday: an impromptu Imitation of Christ fashion show and demonstration. "I wanted to do something totally spontaneous and ad hoc," said IOC's Tara Subkoff. "I wanted to do pure spectacle — nothing serious — just to inject some humor into the fashion thing." And how. Arriving in ambulances, a score of energetic models piled out singing and, in the process, slowed the steady stream of cars chauffeuring Dior invitees. Incredulous security guards watched agape. But they weren't the only people who were taken aback. Initially, talk was that IOC would stage a happening on Tuesday. "We decided to do it on Monday about two days ago," said Subkoff. So why didn't they spread the word? "It's one of my private art projects: seeing how long a secret can be kept." As for the clothes, Subkoff called it "Garbage Couture," or reworked vintage pieces. In a nod to the Dior show, models wore vintage Dior haute couture jewelry, hats and other accessories. "It just seemed to make sense," she said.
STRESS BREAKERS: Talk about branching out. While Gucci's launching a massage line, Prada's researching clothing prototypes for space travel. A Prada spokeswoman said that Miuccia Prada had been contacted by Milan University's aerospace department to study new textures and volumes for trips into space.
Gucci's massage line, due to bow at the end of the month, includes a foldable teak table with a padded mattress covered in dark brown GG vinyl and detachable headrest. Other items designed by creative director Tom Ford are massage oil containers in brushed steel and black cotton GG towels in three sizes. But patrons are likely to need a stress-reducing massage after writing the check for the table — a hefty $5,350.

The MAAPPS program is suspended for admissions in September 2015 and will be transitioning to a new professional MPP program. Read here for more details.
The MAAPPS program offers training focused on the Asia Pacific to prepare graduates for policy-related professional careers. Courses in policy analysis methodologies are combined with academic and applied seminars.
The program consists of three distinct elements:
The MAAPPS program is organized into six thematic streams:
a) Economic and Social Change;
b) Security;
c) Gender and Development;
d) Governance and Human Rights;
e) Infrastructure Policy
f) Media.
The program can be completed in twelve, eighteen or twenty-four months, respectively. While a twelve-month course of study might be most suitable for mid-career professionals with time constraints, most students have found the course load for this compressed program to be very intensive and demanding.
A less compressed course of study typically offers the students greater opportunities for broader educational experiences, including the great variety of conferences, workshops and seminars regularly offered at the Institute of Asian Research and other UBC units.

Western New York, New York Real Estate Lawyers and Attorneys
In order to pass the title of a property, a deed with a proper description of the land must be executed and delivered. This is where you need a real estate lawyer.
Western New York, New York Real Estate Lawyers and Attorneys Directory
Real Estate Lawyers and Attorneys Introduction
The federal and state government control real estate transactions by passing common laws and statutes to control how titles transfer from owner to owner in Western New York . Though a lawyer is not a required role of the real estate transaction process, specifically in many states where escrow corporations will tend to all closing transaction details, a lawyer can safeguard your interests and aid you in resolving any potential legal difficulties prior to entering into a legally binding contract. It is highly suggested to hire an attorney if you are considering purchasing a house that's financed by the seller or is an assumption, if you're working with a "dual agent", or if the property is involved in legal complications at all. There's a lot that could occur financially when you purchase or sell a home. A bad or good outcome can modify your net worth, not to mention your sense well being.
How to select the right real estate attorney
Talk to friends, family members and fellow employees, or your state's Bar Association for referrals.
Start with the simplest, least expensive steps an attorney can act upon initially. Many times a minimum amount of help is plenty.
Many attorneys are willing to carry out multiple tasks for a retainer or flat price.
Be sure your attorney specializes in real estate and has expertise in the areas you require.
When you get in touch with an attorney, be sure to inquire on the subject of fee arrangement and ask questions about that attorney's expertise in handling real estate matters in Western New York .
What a lawyer will do
Among other matters, your lawyer will:
Share with you an general idea of the process and his/her responsibility in that process draft, review, explain and/or negotiate your contract to purchase.
Explain timing and possession concerns, including matters with respect to your current lease if you are renting.
Communicate and settle upon repair issues recognized by your home inspector.
Examine the title commitment and survey to ascertain that you are purchasing the property contracted for, without impediments or title imperfections you've not agreed to accept.
The deed, the bill of sale, mortgage, promissory note, title commitment and the closing statement simply a few of the necessary documents that a lawyer ought to analyze with the seller or buyer before the closing.
Describe contract contingencies, if any, and monitor deadlines to confirm that those contingencies are met.
Verify and provide an explanation for tax prorations and additional closing figures.
Be present at the closing to guarantee the contract is in compliance and to Analyze the loan document form compliance with your loan agreement.
More items of interest
Real estate brokers aren't attorneys and can't provide legal advice.
Your lender shouldn't charge you additional attorney fees, since nearly all lenders have in-house attorneys. If this happens, negotiate the fee's removal or keep on shopping.
At times, predominantly in a sellers market, buyers feel the urge to sign a contract hastily and don't have time to initially consult an attorney. In these cases, buyers can add into the contract language that will permit their attorney time to give final approval on the agreement - mainly within three to five business days. This allows both buyers and sellers of Western New York to speed up the contract process without fear of inadequate legal representation.

What does that mean? Well, it can mean only one thing.
Smokin'HotHubby has found the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything. Yep, it's here. He's now crossed over.
Honey, I
bribed begged some of the most wonderful gals on the internet to help me make this year's birthday special for you, since we are of course not going scuba diving this year. Heh heh
This is a The Answer is 42 blog hop so let's get right to it!
First up we have the sweetest gal in New Hampshire {I've met her so I know this to be an absolute fact, so there} who made a creation that will blow your mind.
Start here > Terri's Terrifical Treasures ~ leave some ♥love♥ too
Then you'll hop to the dynamic Amy T's blog {Amy being the world-renowned design team Mastah!} After you visit Terri, lickety split to Amy!
Next we have the incomparable Tina's blog {Tina being the end-all, be-all maestro of the Cameo ~ the thing bows to her when she walks in the room}. Plus, her style speaks to me subliminally. Yes. Yes, it does.
And finally, I need ya'll to come back tomorrow to view a wonderful creation that hails from the Old Dominion…Virginia! My sweet friend June{bug} has made a creation for this hop that will be here tomorrow. I'll scan it, post it, revel in the beauty of it, brag about it, then give it to hubby. And, probably in that order too!
Oh, and happy World Cardmaking Day everyone! But most of all, happy birthday, my sweet punkin of 10 years!
Thank you, ladies, for making this even BETTER!
♥How I got to be this fortunate, I do not know.♥
I am going to be posting things that the kids do or say, and that I want/need to remember because they're poignant, silly, sad, unexpected, what have ya. I'm tired of trying to rely on myself to get on the Alienware and type things like this into a Word document that I started eons ago.
Sooooooo, one thing I really want to remember is that when, for instance, a book is really good and evokes true emotions, son Bee says that it's "heart touching."
I love that: heart touching. What an awesome way to capture your impression of something in two words.
I hope that days with your awesome kids/family are the cutest!
Don't they? I had never heard of a reading tub until I met Smokin'HotHubby, whose school in Greeley, Colorado, had a library with several repurposed old clawfoot tubs! They were filled with pillows, and kids could go into the library, hop into a reading tub, and have countless hours of comfortable reading.
When we lived in Castle Rock, Colorado, many years ago, we used to subscribe to something called FreeCycle ~ an email-type service that provided ways for people to recycle their "trash" into a treasure for someone else, and always free. Hubby managed to snag an extremely ugly, rundown, rusty, over-painted with vastly horrible paint, and left outside to rot bathtub from FreeCycle.
Hubby took weeks to scrape off the nasty that was all over the tub. Then we got to work on the transformation. We washed it down completely, Mod Podge'd a layer on the outside, placed hundreds of pages of a very old novel that the Castle Rock library gave away for free(!!!) onto the wet Mod Podge, let that dry; then Mod Podge'd another layer, let that dry; then Mod Podge'd another layer and let that dry. Hubby also took layer upon layer of gunk off the feet for the tub, which coincidentally have the letter B on them ~ B for Bill or B for son Bee?? Hmmmm.
Well, for the last two years this tub had to be in storage because we had NO leftover space to have it out…bummer. That has all changed with this new-to-us house! In fact, we were able to do exactly what we'd hoped: ensure that the living room {upstairs…family room is downstairs} focuses specifically on reading and providing space to do that. We own ONE LED television, and that's all we'll ever own because our focus is on time well spent instead of time TV spent.
Another trip back to Bee's birthday. This time a good story! We ordered thee most gorgeous bear from Vermont Teddy Bear because we knew it was absolutely what Bee would have chosen for himself. Well, I lucked upon a LivingSocial voucher to The Vermont Teddy Bear Company {I'll have to post pics of the Vermont Alien Teddy Bear that I received as a baby shower gift right before daughter Tee was born ~ it's AWEsome!}, and along with ordering the bear, I decided to splurge on the individual birthday cake package that they sell.
It's a little plastic container replete with everything one person would need to self-celebrate! Bee got to mix the batter in the bowl that the whole thing got shipped in, then put it in the micro for 5 minutes. The package comes with the bowl, cake mix, frosting mix, candle {lame, quite honestly}, balloon, spoon, directions, confetti, and sprinkles. Too cute.
Whelp, can't get it right all the time! I swore that I would remember to post both of son Bee's teacher gifts in one post, but that remembering curve turned quickly into a forgetting curve! I think I need to change the batteries on my auto-pilot!
Along with daughter Tee, Bee gave his teacher the plastic cup gift with drink packets and faux ice cubes inside. I think you'd be unpleasantly surprised at just how expensive plastic cubes of faux ice are. I nearly fell over. Hubby was able to use one 40% off coupon while at Snobby Lobby, but still, one package of the faux cubes is a whopping $4.99!!!!!!! However, our teachers are worth it, and the cubes make the "cooooool" year punny-relevant!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch…this mom made more teacher gifts so that her son could give some to his teacher as well. LOL
Here is yet another cashew can turned teacher gift. Good grief, it's almost embarrassing how easy these were to alter, and part of that ease might actually be due to the lack of a handle. I didn't have to account for nor compensate for anything related to handles on both sides. Too bad it would be cost prohibitive for me to send some of these cans to you, my scrappy/cardy friends, or I would!! But I do like the idea of creating my own handles on these because if I wanted to embrace creative handles, I could punch 3 holes or 4 holes and not be encumbered by the existing ones. KWIM?

From A Project Opera Parent
Dear Dale,
My wife Kathryn and I attended last Saturday's performance of Carmen. Seeing you out on stage taking a bow with the Children's Chorus members spurred me to send you this long overdue note of thanks about the phenomenal impact the Project Opera program was for our son Sam. Sam attended the Summer Camp in 2006 and 2007. He was also a member of Giovani and Apprentices during his 2007-2008 senior year. He was thrilled when he was able to perform as a chorus member in the May 2008 Minnesota Opera production of Rusalka.
His experience in Project Opera propelled him to attend DePaul University in Chicago to major in Vocal Performance where he graduated with a BM in 2012. From there, DePaul offered him a full scholarship to continue in their Masters program in Vocal Performance. He took a break in the winter quarter of his second year (Jan-Mar, 2014) to sing professionally in the chorus at Sarasota Opera, FL. This delayed his projected graduation of June, 2014 for his MM in Vocal Performance. His last quarter of work is still on hold because, in August, 2014, he moved to Koblenz, Germany to take a full time chorus position in the Theatre der Stadt opera company. He is just finishing up his contract year and is now excitedly looking forward to moving to Bern, Switzerland in August to begin a new chorus position in the opera company there.
I wanted you and the rest of the Project Opera staff to know what an incredible influence you had on Sam and his subsequent success as a professional opera singer. Too often you probably see kids come and go through your program and wonder what was the impact on them and where they went from there. Well I hope you can see how valuable the program is through what Sam has done since his participation in Project Opera.
Once again, please accept my heartfelt thanks for your work with the kids in the Project Opera and Summer Camp programs. Keep up the awesome work with those budding opera stars of the future!
Sincerely yours,
The Mission of Minnesota Opera
Minnesota Opera combines a culture of creativity and fiscal responsibility
to produce opera and opera education programs that expand the art form, nurture artists,
enrich audiences and contribute to the vitality of the community.

This is going to be very useful to make sure that your monitor is actually having support for more than 60 hz and that is also not dropping the frame rates. This can be used like more accurate input lag test.
I am posting this here so that I can make other people to be aware of this and how the other people liked it. If you have anything else like suggestion or anything to make on this then you can also post that over here. As far as I know that this is capable to do all the useful things for which it is made. This is not very easy to completely describe that how can you make use of this program but if you are an advance user and you are really interested for doing these tests then you will be able to get this without any problem.
Warning: This application will make flashing images for testing your screen. If you are getting the seizure then this is going to be a risk for you. In this case, just close the program and you must stop using this. I dont know much regarding the flashing lights and so you must be very careful about this.
After you get the warning screen then you will have to resize the window for filling up the big portion of the screen. You can make use of this any way you would like. Here is the download link for this.

 A question re train scale modeling: Is there one overwhelmingly popular scale for trains? When designing the models is it a lot of work calculating measurements when transferring down in scale? Of course one must know what the actual size is of the real building / item...

I guess, really, the hardest part is finding out what the real size is... but then we do have the Internet!]]> lensman 2013-08-17T00:37:58-00:00 Re: Water Mill http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=73217&th=15404#msg_73217 <![CDATA[@coaster, @lensman: Thanks for the compliments.

 No offense to any metric folks, but I grew up on the Imperial system, but I'm also an engineer. When I design things, I use real world (1:1) dimensions in decimal feet. This building is 16 feet square, so the length of a side, whether I'm using Truespace, OpenSCAD, or Blender, is 16 units.
 That way, I can take my trusty tape measure and go validate that some object is the correct size.

 As a final post-processing step before uploading to Shapeways, (for 1:220 models) I multiply "feet" by 1.385 to get "millimeters". It's just that simple.
 To handle the wall thickness requirements, then when I'm designing for FUD, I make sure that everything is at least 3" (0.25 feet) thick. For FCS, it has to be 1.5 feet thick. As I'm drawing, I don't think of it in terms of units the printer needs, I just keep that 0.25 foot limit in mind.

 I will grant you that those who use the metric system have it a bit easier.. they just measure in millimeters and then divide by their scale. I'm perhaps a bit too old of a dawg to learn that trick.

 What is rather interesting about doing miniatures is that humans tend to perceive the size of buildings based on being on inside of them, rather than the outside size of the structure. We tend to lose sight of the 'real size' of a building quickly. I grew up camping in a one-room log cabin that was 12x20 feet. Today, that cabin would actually fit inside my living room. But, if you take the two models and compare their exteriors, your brain says "one of those is not in the proper scale". But.. I can prove that both models are the proper scale.. I've got my trusty tape measure. <grin>]]> stonysmith 2013-08-17T15:44:17-00:00 Re: Water Mill http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=73219&th=15404#msg_73219 <![CDATA[

lensman wrote on Fri, 16 August 2013 22:56

 Is there one overwhelmingly popular scale for trains?

 To incite a flame war: No there is no single "most popular" size. <grin>
 In the US commercial market, there is HO and N scale readily available everywhere.. Even Walmart has HO scale.
 But.. if you ask any modeller.. he'll tell you that HIS choice of scale is the best. <grin>

 I chose Z scale because I can get a LOT of track in a very small space. My wife won't (yet) let me take over the upstairs game room with a layout, so I needed a layout that would fit into my office. Zscale (1:220) allows me in a space just 2.5 by 3 feet to have the same amount of track that you'd find in HO to take up a full 4x8 foot sheet of plywood.

 ===

 Now, if your question is about profitability - making sales on Shapeways - I'd have to say N scale. There are PLENTY of N scale buyers out there, and the objects are not so large as to price yourself totally out of the market with 3d printed items. HO is just plain too big for the cost of 3d printing - it is hard to compete with the glut of cheap items available commercially. Nscale is "just about right" in terms of scale vs cost. But for myself, I have found a niche market in Z purely because there is a dearth of items available.

 The trick with selling to N scale is that you've got to hyper-detail your items. The buyers tend to be really picky. That's part of the benefit.. in Zscale, I can omit certain details, because only someone with a microscope would be looking for them. <grin>]]> stonysmith 2013-08-17T16:10:55-00:00 Re: Water Mill http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=73224&th=15404#msg_73224 <![CDATA[Thanks very much for those informative answers. Yes, partly my question was regarding profitability, but also in trying to judge what would be "easiest" to model in.

 Regarding Imperial and Metric: I was born into an Imperial world in the UK, which then switched to more or less all Metric. I now live in an all Metric world in Canada... Sorry, but I don't miss yards (three feet three inches!), furlongs, shillings and gallons to name just a few... But I still like a nice pint to drink

Can you put the axle on the house and give the waterwheel a hole ?]]> Scishape 2013-09-16T07:13:48-00:00 Re: Water Mill http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=74922&th=15404#msg_74922 <![CDATA[FullColorSandstone (FCS) would require a 2mm axle, a 1mm gap around the axle, plus a 1mm gap on each side of the waterwheel.
 In addition, the "blades" of the wheel would be required to be 2mm thick and the "walls" of the wheel would have to be 2mm thick also.

 It just wouldn't look right. I would have considered doing the wheel in FUD, but at over $5 for the part, I felt it wasn't economical.

I'm looking to do something very similar for dioramas in Z and possibly T scales. I have been modeling in Sketchup for years but brand new to 3d Printing. I understand the wall thickness issues scaleing my 1:1 buildings down, what I'm still trying to figure out how to work with details and the minimum dimensions of the materials. In your 1:1 model of this mill how far does your window trim project and how thin are your muntins?]]> shaperscott 2013-09-17T16:24:17-00:00 Re: Water Mill http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=74943&th=15404#msg_74943 <![CDATA[
 Here's some measurements of the model as uploaded to Shapeways.

 If you talk about 1:1 dimensions, that usually implies the measurement on the prototype. 0.31mm at 1:220 is 2.68 inches @ 1:1
 These same items are raised only 0.17mm from the surface - approx. 1.5 inches @ 1:1

 I commonly design for 3 inches @ 1:1 or 0.346mm on the final model.

 Note: if you note the column here that measures 0.35mm, then look very carefully at my pictures above, you'll notice that a section of that trim broke off the print. It would have been better if I had filleted those exterior edges rather than leaving them square.

On my smaller scale model I was coming up with a (real life) projection of about 3" to create the minium emboss which looks very odd in my model but is apparently correct. I might just skip this level of detail all together for my first print at this scale but I do like the look of yours!]]> shaperscott 2013-09-17T17:20:04-00:00 Re: Water Mill http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=74953&th=15404#msg_74953 <![CDATA[That is the trouble and the magic of making all of this work.. trading the minimum thickness rules for what is noticeable to the human eye.

 I assume you've heard of the "three foot rule"?
 If it looks right from three feet, it's good enough.

 One secret in this case is that the trim here was a different color than the base.. with a significant shade difference between the tan and the brown, it looks sharper than it really is. (from three feet <grin>)]]> stonysmith 2013-09-17T18:48:39-00:00

3 Reasons to Get Certified in Graphic Design
There are several great reasons to get your professional graphic design certification- here are three of them.read more
Set, Forget InDesign Styles for Consistency
In my opinion, one of the marks of a professional graphic designer is consistency. It is so important to make sure that fonts, colors, and design elements are consistent throughout a project, but also across an entire company brand. Design consistency gives a feeling of familiarity and provides the consumer something to recognize about your products or services. When Adobe InDesign was introduced in the Creative Suite in 2002, it came with a bundle of new features that helped designers ensure consistency across documents. One of the easiest ways to do this was to use Adobe styles. In most of the graphics programs in the Adobe Creative Suite — including Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator — there are multiple panels referring to style. An Adobe style is simply a package of style information that can easily be applied to your document objects. In Adobe InDesign, there are separate panels for character styles, paragraph styles, table styles, cell styles and more. Each of these is intended to help you create the style and then easily deploy it as needed. By connecting all of your relevant objects to the style, you can easily make one change to the style definition and it can be re-applied to all associated items. For example, a paragraph style may contain the font, spacing and alignment information for different types of paragraphs. This concept alone can save you hours of tedious cleanup work. It also reduces human error and guarantees that all similar elements have the same appearance. However, these concepts can be taken to a much higher level. Adobe InDesign also has a way to create a pattern of styles throughout your project. For example, many print documents follow a familiar flow to organize the content. You may have a header, followed by a sub-heading, a first paragraph with an interesting design for the first line of text, and then subsequent body paragraphs. A feature of a style called Next Style allows you to set up an order for styles to follow. All you would have to do is set the style of header and then tell InDesign to flow the Next Style to ensure the remaining styles follow from there. Each style will remain connected to the source to allow for quick changes and consistency. There are far too many other-style related features and time-saving tricks than I can mention in this short column. I hope you try to use styles in your Creative Suite projects and find new ways to become more efficient with your design work. [Originally posted in the Coloradoan on...read more
Fun with Adobe Creative Suite Panels
The possibilities with Adobe Creative Suite are endless. For this reason and more, Adobe CS has become the industry standard for graphic design, video production and many other creative professions. Programs such as Adobe's Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign have revolutionized several industries and are now more accessible to the average consumer than ever before. At the Digital Workshop Center, we consistently see students who have been forced into these complex programs by their employers in the hopes they'll be able to bring design work in-house. However, Adobe CS is designed for personal computers and, therefore, has a ton of options centered around customizing the program to best work for you. Whenever I open any of my Adobe programs, I first open and arrange the panels to best suit my needs. Adobe panels are common in almost all CS programs — they're the small, moveable pieces within the greater Adobe puzzle. Each panel is focused on one group of commands. For example, in Adobe InDesign you have the Pages panel, which gives you all the choices you need to create, arrange and manage your pages. While you could also use the text-based menus at the top of the program, the panels are typically easier to understand. Each panel also includes a menu is in its top-right corner. The panel menu provides additional commands or options to help you fine-tune exactly what you need. Another feature of the Adobe panel system is that you can easily group or dock panels. By default there's a dock section on the right side of most Adobe programs. This section usually has a dark-gray background separated from the design area of the program. You can fit all of your desired panels into the dock or drag and drop panels in any order you want. In addition, you can re-size the dock or collapse it to save you space. The size and resolution of your monitor is a huge factor in how you will arrange your dock, but don't be afraid to play around with different arrangements. The more you use an Adobe CS program, you'll learn which panels you need for your work. When you have all the panels opened and arranged the way you like, I highly recommend saving that as a workspace, which takes a snapshot of your program's environment so you can easily return to that arrangement as you see fit. There's no limit to the number of panel workspaces you can create and it works well to create different layouts for different types of projects. For example, you can create one workspace for your graphic design projects, another for web projects and maybe one for advanced typography. Through the window menu in any Adobe CS program, you can easily manage future workspaces. When a new student opens Adobe for the first time, I think there's always a brief feeling of anxiety, maybe due to the amount of commands on the screen. However, if you embrace the panel system and get used to the similarities across all Adobe Creative Suite programs, you will see the logic behind panels and start to enjoy it.

Trading Places: Dropping Photoshop Files Into InDesign
If you're trying to use multiple Adobe Creative Suite programs together, one of the first things you should become familiar with is the Place tool. Place functions similar to the Open tool. The biggest difference however, is that the Open tool lets you open a document as a new file, while Place lets you stick an image, text file or other materials into an existing document as a new layer. InDesign is a robust layout tool for fliers, ads, magazines, etc. Photoshop lets you edit images to add effects, combine multiple images together, perfect a photograph, etc. Illustrator offers many tools to create designs from scratch. If you need to learn more about these three Adobe CS programs, check out our blog post "The ABCs of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign." When you use all of these Adobe programs together, you're really firing on all cylinders. Adobe CS programs are highly compatible with each other, so you can mix-and-match any number of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign files across the programs. As a basic exercise, we created a document in InDesign, and we will be using the Place tool to import an image from Photoshop. Frame Your Layout To get things started, we created some basic text to work with in our document. We did this by selecting the Text tool and creating a text box to write in. You can play with the text to stylize it and add effect if you wish. Now that we have some text, it's time to get our image from Photoshop. Prepare to Place For our image, we picked something simple: an image of Spider-Man with a white background. Tip: When selecting an image to place in InDesign, keep in mind that the background color of your Photoshop image will carry over to the InDesign document. To save yourself grief, you should give any files you will place in InDesign a transparent background. If you have a specific idea for what you want the background of your final design to look like, you can create that background as a separate file (in Photoshop or another CS program) and use the Place tool for that as well. When you've finished touching up your image in Photoshop, simply save the file (we recommend saving it to a location that can be found easily, such as your Desktop). If you need help getting started on enhancing your Photoshop image, read our "Cooking Up Basic Photoshop Designs" Trading Places Now that you have a basic layer with text in InDesign and a Photoshop image ready, it's time to "drop" the Photoshop file into InDesign. (If you need help with layers, read our Introduction to Layers blog). Create a new layer in the Layers panel. Click on File from the main toolbar and find the Place tool. After opening Place, select your Photoshop file. Now, a miniature version of your Photoshop image will appear where your mouse was. This happens so you can customize the placement and size of your image. Put your mouse in a good starting point for where you want the image to rest and click-drag until your image is the appropriate size. The proportions of your image will stay intact, so don't worry about stretching or shrinking your image. Now that your image is in a decent spot, you can tweak its placement. A translucent "eye" or circle will appear in the middle of your newly placed image. (If you don't see the eye, select the move tool from the Tool Palette and click on the image.) By clicking on the eye...read more
