Located within the downtown district, Holiday Inn Express Sacramento Convention Center opens up numerous opportunities for easy access to the heart of old Sacramento and all of the Sacramento tourist attractions, putting you within minutes of the ARCO Arena, Raley's Field, the Memorial Auditorium, and the site of the Cal Expo State Fair. Some of the highlight attractions of the Sacramento area are:
Originally built by a hardware merchant in 1877, the mansion became California's Executive Mansion in 1903 and provides a stunning example of Second Empire-Italianate architecture. The interior design reflects a mixture of tastes, ranging from the original Victorian builder through all the various governors and first ladies who lived there.
A one-of-a-kind theatrical experience - Sacramento's nationally-recognized theatre-in-the-round produces musical theatre at the new Wells Fargo Pavilion in July and August. Filled with the best of live theater and music, Music Circus provides an unforgettable immersive taste of the arts.
Lose yourself in the rich history of Gold Rush-era Sacramento. An eclectic mix of museums, entertainment, restaurants, the Old Town provides plenty of great places to visit - such as the National Registered Landmark and 28-acre State Historic Park on the river in downtown Sacramento.
Capture the spirit of 19th Century California when you visit the Sutter's Fort State Park. Established in 1839 and restored to its 1846 appearance, the park exhibits the lifestyle of the era. Blacksmith's forges, cooperage, even a jail - the Sutter's Fort State Park is a living lesson in history, and is situated only a mile away from the hotel. Demonstrations and reenactments in costume are staged daily Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Located in the heart of downtown, the Sacramento Convention Center includes 134,000 square feet of contiguous exhibit space, 31 meeting rooms, an outdoor garden terrace adjacent to an elegant 24,000-square-foot ballroom, and two separate 10,000-square-foot registration/pre-function areas. The complex also includes the 4,000-seat Memorial Auditorium and the 2,452-seat Community Center Theater.
Located between 3rd and 7th street; enjoy different restaurants, multi-screen cinema and over 150 boutiques and specialty shops in addition to Macy's.
ARCO Arena is the top venue for sports, entertainment and special events in the Greater Sacramento area. With over 200 spectator events each year, ARCO Arena is one of the busiest buildings of its kind in the United States.
Venues as boundless as your imagination... Cal Expo Sacramento is a multi-faceted site that hosts hundreds of events each year. Featuring 350 beautifully landscaped acres, an exclusive caterer, 18 venues and an accomplished, dedicated staff, it's no wonder Cal Expo is the facility of choice in the Sacramento region.

It isn't shocking that the ESRB has given Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes an M-rating. The usual classifiers, such as blood and gore, intense violence and strong language are all present, but fans may be surprised to see a warning for sexual violence as well. This makes Ground Zeroes the second game to ever receive this content label, the first being Animamundi: Dark Alchemist, a PC game from 2006.
The full rating summary includes some of the usual Metal Gear fare, with graphic violence and the ability to stealth kill enemies getting mentions. As for the sexual violence, it apparently happens offscreen, though players are still able to hear the ensuing struggle. While the following statement from the ESRB does not explicitly state any spoilers, we advise that it may be more information than some players may want to know before the game's release.
The game includes an audio file in which a female character is sexually assaulted by male characters; while there is no visual depiction, sounds of ripped clothing and struggle can be heard.
Many fans have already guessed that the female character in question is the scantily clad Quiet, whose revealing clothing have already been a source of controversy. Of course, Kojima and Konami have not commented on these theories. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is set to release on March 18th for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

psychosayings(laughs ahead)
This game has a lot of funny sayings and I want everyone 2 name there top 3. I'll start...
3)"see u in hell"- raz after he burns a squirrel.
2)"Hey kid can't u see i'm trying to have a moment here?" - Gloria's alter ego(a.k.a. the long haired lady who glows yellow and crys in Gloria's theatre level)
1)"look I know my way around these parts so if I hid a dead body nobody would find it!" - Ford Crueller after you try 2 use pyrokenesis on him.
(P.S. You have to name the character's quote,you don't have to be as precise as me but if you can't remember the character's name just describe them.)
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...drasil/Raz.png:Look out! Flying squirrel!
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...or_sayline.jpg:Okay, that's funny. Now PUT ME DOWN
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...il/matador.jpg:Right in El Odio's butt!
and the best one of all:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...om_sayline.jpg:I'm a little tea pot, short and stout. Here is my handle. Here is my spout. Just kidding! I AM THE PHANTOM!
Hey Murray by the way wanna be friends. :cheers:
I'm not sure if this is entirely the right lines. spoilers.
Raz: You're the phantom!
Critic: What!? You accuse me of being the phantom. I am not.
Raz: You're right... the phantom and tall, adn thin and your...
Critic: I am the phantom
Pretty much all of the things which Ford said to Razputin when you hurt him with various different powers were awesome, though Morry's "I was here the whole time!" line was hilarious.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...sil/phoebe.jpg:Hey! Rrrrr! Enough! Hello! Put me down!
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...rasil/lili.jpg:Pfffft. You hit like a boy.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...rt_sayline.jpg:Ahhhh! I'm on fire! Owwwwwww!
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...asil/chloe.jpg:Finally! I'm being TAKEN! They've finally come for me! Hey! It's just you. PUT ME DOWN!
Kid: It Looks like a dentsist office.
Raz: A mental dentists office.
Sasha: (you guessed it) Oh, it's so tacky, I can't... look directly at it!
How did you get all those character pictures Murray?
Go here
There's a whole load of pictures in the game files you can extract like the ones above.
Damn...I need to play the game through again. There's tons of stuff I need to remember.
Raz: I'm glad you could take that ass-whooping I handed you and turn into something positive...like gardening.
Coach Oleander: You're like molasses going uphill in January....WITH CRUTCHES!!
Coach Oleander: Is your name "Joey"?
Raz: No
Coach Oleander: Because I'm going to call you "Slowy Joey"
Raz: That's not my name.
Coach Oleander: What's that Slowy? I can't hear you! You're talking too slow!
man, if I could only remember some of the stuff the G-men said.
Oleander: I have the brain of a little girl in my lab.
Raz: Ha ha ha! You have the brain of a little girl? Ha Ha, You must have the muscles of a little girl too.
Oleander: *mumble* Good one.
My favorite were the plumber G-men " I smell like excrement, yet I offer you a service... so you respect me."
Sasha Nein: "What have you learned today, Razputin?"
Raz: "That shooting things is fun... and useful!"
Attacking G-men with Confusion Grenades is also enjoyable, as is throwing one at Boyd Cooper(not the Milkman).
Wait a minute. I think there might not be a conspiracy after all. It's possible I am suffering from paranoid delusions, linked to an entity I call "the Milkman" who is, in actuality...the mummified remains of Abraham Lincoln!
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...rasil/gman.jpg:Oh my god. Why do I have a gun in my hand? I hope I didn't kill again. I should be out trying to find the Milkman! Oh yeah. That's right. Disguise. Ahem.
Raz: (After looking at 'The World Shall Taste My Eggs') Ok, What the hell was that?!
Dogan: And then your going to make their heads explode?
Raz: What? No! Do you do that?
Dogan: No...well, once kinda, by accident. But now I wear this hat so it won't happen again (Not exact quote o.O) You wanna try it on?
Raz: no no!
Sasha:Argh... why did I buy the CHEAP Brian Tumbler?
Wow, I have lots of favorites but I'll just pick a few things...
Road crew G-Men: Look at that woman's breasts, they are very large.
Sasha: *after you get marksmanship learner's permit* Well, good. My ass is covered.
Raz: *to cows in Waterloo* Can you believe a great battle was once fought here, on the very ground that you now so peacefully graze? Many men died. Some did it for freedom and some for country. Others did it just because they had guns. It's a crazy world, isn't it? Hmmm? Don't you think it's crazy? Hey, I'm talking to you cow. It's because of me that you're not talking French right now. Shame on you, ungrateful cow.
Milla: *if you hit her on the dock* Enough with the rough stuff, darling!
La Flamancita:Wake up darling!
(Makes Dingo smile, dies again)
Dogen: Okay, I get it, you'll close your eyes and count to a hundred and I'll go hide in that bush over there.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...rasil/gman.jpg:Initiating arrest sequence!
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...rasil/gman.jpg:Come with us.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...rasil/gman.jpg:Why did you burn that bush?
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...rasil/gman.jpg:Why did you punch that little girl?
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...rasil/gman.jpg:Are you addicted to getting arrested?
Raz:(looking at Rifle) It's fake. I'm worried the other assassins are going to make fun of me.
Assassin G-Man: Do not broadcast that information. They look real.
Raz: Agent Vodello? Where are you?
Milla: I'm on TV, darling! Where I always should have been! C'mon, with hair this fabulous, how could I NOT be on TV?
In the beginning of the game:
Milla: Why it's just a little boy. What's your name, darling?
Coach Oleander: I'll find out! (Struggles for a moment to get into Raz's mind, then gives up. Raz falls to the stage.)
Raz: My name...
Coach O: Starts with a D!
Raz:...Is Razputin, but everyone calls me Raz. (Takes his goggles off.)
(From the audience.): Please don't eat us lake monster!
(In Lungfishopolis)
lungfish: Gogglor! Down here.
Raz: Excuse me, were you talking to me?
lungfish: AGHH! AGHH my ears!
Raz: (Whispering) Im sorry.
lungfish: AGH! Oh my god! Agh! (Falls down.)
Raz: (Still whispering) Are you alright?
Other lungfish: He's dead.
Raz: O, gosh, I'm sorry.
Raz:Now its time ot see who you really are...
(Phantom takes of mask and reveals himself to be Jasper)
Raz:...I totally guessed that!
Actor:Nuh uh, you said it was Becky!
Carpenter- I would totally love to go over there, but that soldier would kick my ass. I'm not getting paid for that.
Something about that made me snort up my tea. Must be his voice. And how I didn't expect it.
Raz:Hm... how can I say this and still sound cool... "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me"?
Bonita: I couldn't hear [Jasper] much at all, really, until Gloria's mother hit the stage.
Raz: He didn't like her performance either?
Bonita: No, I mean "hit the stage," kersplat! Jumped from the catwalks while Gloria was in Paris.
Raz: ...Ew.
Bonita: Yeah, that's what the janitor said, too.
I laughed so hard at that. I'm a bad person.
Also, if you complete lungfishopolis and then go back, a lungfish tells you about how they're gonna demolish the place anyway so you can smash all you want. The line that floored me was
Lungfish: You can also smash the people if you want, my family lives in an other town.
Lungfish are so selfish.
The actual line:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12.../lfczealot.jpg:You can squish people too if you want. My family lives in a whole other town.
Do you suppose those Lungfish's selfishness is a reflection of Linda's?
I doubt it. The zealots are just jerks. exdee.
Yeah but all the others were under the control of Kochamara, so the ones that were free would be the only remnant of Linda's former personality.
Hmm. Good point. (as always, Clem) =0
But yeah, I don't remember linda being selfish, especially coming to collect Raz every time he blows the thingie, seems kind of selfless to me.
Well yeah, Linda was unselfish as far as we could see, but really those lungfish were pretty selfish... one has to wonder if it's just courtesy that she helped Raz.

Chawanakee Academy's Drama Club will offer dinner and a double feature Friday and Saturday, April 26 and 27 at North Fork Town Hall, 33507 Road 230. The club will present "Cyrano de Bergerac" and "Her Heart Belongs to Heartburn."
Dinner will begin at 5:30 p.m. and the show will begin at 6:30 p.m. A silent auction will be held throughout the evening.
"Cyrano de Bergerac," a play written by Edmond Rostand in 1897, is a romantic comedy set in 17th century France. It is based loosely on a real life figure in 1640 France when the nobleman Hercule Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac is serving as a cadet in the French army.
A man of many talents, including dueling, poetry and music, de Bergerac suffers from an extreme lack of self confidence due to his oversized nose. His own self-doubts keep him from professing love to the beautiful and intellectual heiress Roxane and he finds himself agreeing to protect and aid the man for whom she confesses feelings, a fellow cadet named Christian.
"Her Heart Belongs to Heartburn" is a one act melodrama by Karen Fendrich. It is the story of Mary Belle who has inherited the Stagger Inn, but does not know that because her mean step-sisters and the sheriff have kept it from her. The sheriff is trying to force Mary Belle into a marriage when she is saved by Harry Heartburn, an unemployed deputy.
Tickets cost $10 for adults, $5 for children. Proceeds from the event benefit the drama club.
Details: (559) 868-4200.

Out All Night in Shibuya — For an iPad
Japan's Apple geeks are one step closer to becoming proud owners of the keyboard-defying iPad.
Softbank, the only Japanese cellphone provider with bragging rights to sell the tablet, started accepting orders this week to much fanfare (in Japanese).
As when Softbank launched the iPhone here — again on an exclusive basis — lines formed in the predawn hours at each of its three order-taking stores in Tokyo. The Japanese media reported iPad fans started gathering outside the Softbank in posh Omotesando at 3:30 a.m. Monday.
But that's lightweight — at least by the standards of the customer who nabbed the first spot in the line outside the branch located in the frenetic shopping and partying district of Shibuya around 9 p.m. Sunday, according to store employees. Other willing campers filed behind, growing to an estimated 90 people by the time the store unlocked its doors at 10 a.m. Monday.
Since then the Shibuya store alone has logged more than 400 orders, said Miho Kamii, a store employee.
But a reservation is not a promise ring. The swelling number has made it increasingly unlikely that all those who placed an order will receive an iPad the day it is set to grace store shelves on May 28, said Kamii.
Apple hasn't revealed how many iPads the first shipment to Japan will contain, and Softbank declined to comment on how many total reservations have been placed thusfar.
Shibuya being a shopping maelstrom, just a stone's toss away staff at neon-clad electronics stores Labi and Bic Camera, both of which carry Softbank products and are also accepting orders, deployed megaphones to try to reel in potential customers.
One such peddler, Bic Camera employee Mori Koshikatsu, estimated the docket at that location already stretched to several hundred reservations. Exactly when the local Apple otaku, or geeks, get their mitts on the wonder of the age remains open to question.

Warrain Beach is the surfing beach for the settlement of Culburra. It begins on the south side of Penguin Head and runs to the south for 3.7 kilometres past the usually blocked mouth of Wollumboola Lake to the low rocks at Kinghorn Point. Culburra Surf Beach is great for swimming, surfing and scuba diving. Car parking is provided at the surf club and by the north side of the lagoon entrance, while in the south a track leads off the Currarong road to the back of Kinghorn Point. Due to the beach being recognised as a popular surfing destination it is not recommended to take children under the age of seven or children who can't swim. The beach is patrolled during summer.

Sergio Martinez had to stand back, compose himself, and literally wipe a grin of his face when asked to do a face-to-face staredown with Matthew Macklin at Madison Square Garden during a press conference to tubthump for their March 17 Theatre showdown on Wednesday.
The easy-going Argentina-born hitter isn't the sort to be bombastic and talk a load of trash to try and lure the top dogs in the revenue department into a marquee fight, but that doesn't mean he won't stir the pot. Martinez called out the Top Rank twosome, of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, with some salty wording on Wednesday.
"The public and the fans are getting really tired of who's fighting who, 'will Pacquiao fight Mayweather, and will Mayweather fight Pacquiao,' I give up on that, I don't want to be involved in the discussion who's fighting who," Martinez said, when asked for a comment on the latest round of flirtation in the Manny-Mayweather danceoff. "I believe it's time for not only talk but action and if by any chance anyone wants to fight me, let's sit and talk about it, the weight and the division. But I'm getting really sick of it and I believe it's doing wrong for boxing," he said through interpreter Sampson Lewkowicz.
Martinez said he doesn't buy it when Pacquiao says that he just fights who his promoter puts in front of him. "This is an act of cowardice by Manny and Chavez, they say only what the promoter says," Martinez said. "I'm my own man, the champion, I would never ask the permission of my promoter. If you want the fight, take the fight, don't say "my promoter," that's a coward's talk. Both of them..Chavez and Pacquiao are a puppet of Bob Arum. I'm not a puppet for Lou DiBella. I'll fight anyone, that is the difference. I don't ask Lou which one he wants me to fight, I speak myself, and when anyone's challenge makes sense, I will do it."
The boxer, who said he didn't want to discuss who he'll fight next, because he respects March 17 challenger Matthew Macklin, nevertheless did manage to launch a broadside at Junior. "Chavez will never fight me," he said. "He's afraid."
Promoter Lou DiBella reiterated that he'd be happy to entertain offers for Martinez to fight either Mayweather of Pacquiao, but came off as burnt out on the babbling about those two. "I can't force anyone to make a fight...Sergio's there, willing to take a small percentage of the money in order to make the fights, but there's no sense in me talking about it any longer. Aren't you sick of talking about Pacquiao fighting Mayweather? Eff Pacquiao and Mayweather, let them fight each other if they can get around to it."
The March 17 fight will, by the way, run on HBO. You might have thought, after Martinez said he was dumping the cabler last week, that he'd be heading to Showtime. But HBO smoothed things over with a meet and greet yesterday, and at MSG, promoter DiBella said that he was happy Martinez and HBO are working together, because HBO made Martinez by putting him on so much.
--Andy Lee will fight on the card, but no foe has been chosen, as of this writing. The foe announcement could come today.
---Peter Quillin was at the presser and he told me he'd love that bout. He also said that he went up to Giovanni Lorenzo, also present, and Lorenzo didn't choose to repeat pointed comments he'd made to the press about Quillin to the fighter's face.
Nobody is listening or believing Sergio Martinez despair bulljive to land a high-paying bout, so he oughta shut da double fudge UP! Sticks and stones may break some bones. But wacko jive spittin' and juvenile insults from a B+ fighter, who got the 2110 fighter of the year by knocking out a hyped-up softy and beating a drunk, hurt nuffin!' Nobody wanna hear that chump's bluffin!' Holla!
The best of the hurt bitnezz is about BIG Business. Sergio Martinez is small business, so he should just keep fighting the small guns of the game. And be happy. Dude is nowhere in the same category of the Money Mays and Da Mannys, or upcoming fighters like the Cesar Juniors or the SOGs. And I don't see Martinez calling out SOG Ward, the bytch Martinez is quick to call out small men.
Martinez should fight Jemain Taylor or Andre Dirrell. I'll not be surprised to see JT beat him and AD kayo him. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

PAUL BYRNES Based, albeit loosely, on a true story, Belle is a complex and delicate tale about what it means to belong, and at the same time to be an outsider.
SANDRA HALL Flights of fancy and a tendency to melodrama don't prevent this real-life story of a black girl adopted by a ruling-class family in 18th century London from impressing.
Raised by her aristocratic great-uncle Lord Mansfield, Belle's lineage affords her certain privileges, yet the colour of her skin prevents her from fully participating in the traditions of her social standing.
PHILIPPA HAWKER A single role opened international doors for Gugu Mbatha-Raw, the star of 'period drama with a twist' Belle.

Sun #3 in x86 --"I Was As Surprised as Hell," Says Analyst
By michelleparkinson on Oct 04, 2007
For the second time in as many weeks, Sun's x64 systems are being
recognized. Last week it was The Register's Ashlee Vance
reporting on the launch of the Sun Fire X4450 and X4150, with the headline, "It's time to pay attention to Sun's x86 biz."
This week InternetNews' Dave Needle reports on the results of an Enterprise buyer survey conducted by Gabriel Consulting Group (GCG) -- in which Sun delivered a "strong third place showing" in x86 servers.
Writes Needle:
Perhaps the biggest surprise was the strong third place showing by Sun Microsystems, a relative newcomer to x86 servers. "We continue to be impressed by just how many customers have Sun x86 gear in their datacenters ... Even more surprising is how consistently Sun is ranked ahead of Dell on almost every survey criteria. This is pretty good progress for a vendor who has only been in the x86 server market for a few years and still offers a limited product line," the company said in its report.

Fans of "Supernatural" are used to the seasons ending with life and death hanging in the balance for Sam and Dean. Season nine's season ender will be no different than previous seasons. On April 28, Spoilers Guide shared new spoilers for the season nine finale of this series.
What will happen during the season nine finale? Sam and Dean will be faced with something they have never had to deal with before. The last moment of the episode will set up season 10, and the spoiler teases that the final moment will make fans excited to see season 10. That sounds like quite the finale. Sam and Dean have experienced a lot over the last nine seasons, so the brothers facing something new should be something to see.
MStarz also shared additional spoilers for the season nine finale. These spoilers come Jeremy Carver. He is the man in charge of the series, and he revealed in a new interview that the finale of this series will show Sam, Dean and Castiel taking on Metatron, and all bets will be off during the battle. The episode will feature some uneasy alliances and some choices will be made that not everyone will agree with. The end will feature some "shocking consequences" as a result of those choices.
"Supernatural" has been a hit for the CW since the beginning. This season, the series has definitely picked up its second wind. With the pairing of "The Originals" on Tuesday nights, the series has jumped higher with ratings. Renewing the series for a season 10 was a no-brainer for the network. With a spin-off in the works for the series, "Supernatural" is ready to explore new territory next season it appears. These spoilers definitely tease some big changes ahead for Sam and Dean.
What do you think? Are you ready to see what will happen next to Sam and Dean on this series? What new door will the finale this season open for the Winchester brothers? "Supernatural" will continue to air on Tuesday nights on CW.

A Brooklyn woman who took pictures of her two-year-old daughter holding a sex toy and then sent them online to a known pervert was convicted in all charges brought against her on Friday. Camille Solomon–Eaton, who attempted to use the insanity plea, was found guilty after it was shown in court that this crime was premeditated and then she attempted to cover it up, according to the New York Daily News on May 3.
The woman's lawyer's argument to the jury was that the child was not physically harmed due to this incident. This got the gander up of U.S. Attorney Saritha Komatireddy, who was prosecuting the case. She told the jury to "look at the images." She pointed out the harm done to the child happens when "that man" looks at the images, "that's the child being hurt. That's the victimization of the child," she continued.
Cafe' Mom accuses this mom of posting "worst picture you can ever imagine of her 2-year-old girl." Not many would disagree with this, it is a heinous crime perpetrated by the one person this little girl should be able to trust more than anyone else in the world. Mom's are just not supposed to do this.
The man who received these messages was already on the feds radar when the child's mom sent out those pictures, stating "I hope you like." Federal agents came across a Craigslist ad posted by Caleb Wade who was looking for "any girls into taboo sex." They caught the pictures being sent by Soloman-Eaton of her baby daughter to Wade.
They also found kiddie porn on Wade's cellphone that had been sent from Soloman-Eaton's Blackberry. The prosecutors wouldn't let the "insanity" plea take flight in the courtroom, pointing out to the jury Soloman-Eaton's actions on trying to cover up her crime. She got rid of the Blackberry and the sex toy.
She got a new phone and put 100 new photos in that phone, but not the ones of her daughter with the sex toy, or any of the incriminating pictures that she had sent Wade. She had also sent the perverted man pictures of young girls being molested.
Wade was convicted and sentenced to 30 years by an Alabama court. Soloman-Eaton got 15 years in prison for sexual exploitation by a parent and creating pornography. She remains free on $150,000 bond.

Spending on smart grids doubled in 2012
- Date
- 01 March 2013
LONDON: Spending from utilities switching their networks to smart grids reached US$23.68 billion in 2012, a year total which represents almost double that of all smart grid spending to date.
Worldwide smart grid spending reached US$23.68 billion in 2012, up 47.1% from US$16.10 billion in 2011.
Smart grid growth
The figures come from a new report, Utilities and Smart Grids by ABI Research, which also said spending on smart grids will continue to increase over the next five years to top US$80.8 billion in 2018.
Jonathan Collins, Principal Analyst, ABI Research said: "Utilities are investing in the rollout of a broad assortment of new applications and spending is driving new services from a wide range of vendors and consultants. The complexity of the new hardware, applications, and the expansive array of suppliers vying to deliver services continues to ensure that systems integrators benefit with a significant share of the spending."
Increasing clean energy
This week, separate research was published further demonstrating smart grid growth. The Worldwatch Institute's Vital Signs Online research shows that global investment in smart grid technologies rose 7% in 2012, reaching US$13.9 billion. This was driven by increasing shares of renewable energy in the electricity mix as well as nations' need to update old grid infrastructure.
US led the way by spending US$4.3 billion on smart grid technologies in 2012, followed by China with US$3.2 billion. The European Union saw a 27% increase in spending to US$1.4 billion.
Smarter future
Kirsten Jack, Acting Head of Smart Technologies, The Climate Group said: "A smart grid is a national network that uses communications technology to provide more efficient electricity and reliably; a factor which is attracting greater investment to smart grids since extreme weather patterns increasingly disrupted power in 2012. This, plus the need for utilities to improve their core networks and utilize the benefits of their growing applications portfolios, has guaranteed that smart grid spending will continue to steam ahead over the next five years, driving us towards a smarter, cleaner, better future."
In December, 2011, The Climate Group published the Information Marketplaces report to show how technology can provide value for city sustainability today and in the near future. Our 2008 SMART 2020 report shows that the ICT sector can save 15% of global emissions in 2020. Read our reports now.

Loyola University New Orleans, through its Institute for Ministry, has been a leader in distance education for ministry. Through its extension program (also known as LIMEX or onsite), it has offered master's degrees and certificates in pastoral studies and religious education since 1983 through partnerships with local sponsoring agencies, a diocese, parish, retreat center, or other established institutions entirely on location in more than 40 places across the country and internationally.
It is a professionally oriented graduate program that develops the theological and ministerial competencies of participants through an integration of academic study with theological reflection on ministerial practice and the participants' lived adult experience as people of faith.
A primary feature of this program is its grounding in Ignatian spirituality. Through the work of Fr. Jerry Fagin, S.J., the graces of the "Spiritual Exercises" of St. Ignatius Loyola are woven throughout the program.
Moreover, students integrate their knowledge of the Catholic faith with their own ministry. They develop ministerial proficiency by combining in-depth study of the Christian theological tradition with an appreciative and critical understanding of the contexts in which they minister. These include the sociocultural context of their ministry, the personal context of participants' own faith development and spirituality, and the institutional context and organizational dynamics of the ministry sites in which they work. In addition, participants develop specific competencies in a ministry focus area of their choice. To find out more, click on the buttons to the left.

Triple-Rich Whole-Wheat Bread
From EatingWell: The EatingWell Diabetes Cookbook (2005)
In the 1930s, scientists at Cornell University developed a formula for improving the nutritive value of bread made with refined flour by adding soy flour for the protein, dry milk powder to boost calcium, and wheat germ, which is a good source of vitamin E and folic acid. This is known as Cornell Bread, or Triple-Rich Bread, and the formula also works particularly well in a whole-wheat loaf. We have updated the concept by adapting it to today's time-saving appliances. You can use a bread machine or your food processor to make this convenient, wholesome loaf.
Makes: 8 slices (1 pound loaf)

Nutrition Profile
Low cholesterol | Low saturated fat | Low sodium | Heart healthy | High fiber | High potassium |View Our Nutrition Guidelines »
2-cup bread machine (1-pound loaf)
- 3/4 cup water, 75-80°F
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 3/4 cup bread flour, or all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons soy, flour
- 2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk
- 2 teaspoons wheat germ
- 1 1/2 teaspoons bread-machine yeast, (see Note)
3-cup bread machine (1 1/2-pound loaf)
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water, 75-80°F
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 1 cup bread flour, or all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons soy flour
- 3 tablespoons nonfat dry milk
- 1 tablespoon wheat germ
- 2 teaspoons bread-machine yeast, (see Note)
- To mix dough & bake the bread in a bread machine: Place all ingredients in the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. (Do not place the yeast in direct contact with liquids and salt.) Select Whole-Wheat or Basic cycle and Medium crust, then press Start. Once the dough is mixed, check consistency of dough: it should be smooth, yet soft to the touch. Adjust, if necessary, by adding flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, or water, 1 teaspoon at a time. When the loaf is ready, transfer it to a wire rack to cool. To mix dough in a food processor & bake loaf in the oven:
- Combine whole-wheat flour, bread (or all-purpose) flour, soy flour, dry milk, wheat germ, salt and yeast in a food processor; pulse several times to blend. Stir water, molasses and oil in a measuring cup until the molasses is fully dissolved. With the motor running, slowly pour enough of the liquid through the feed tube until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides. It should be smooth, yet soft to the touch. Adjust, if necessary, by adding flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, or water, 1 teaspoon at a time. Process for 1 minute to knead. Transfer the dough to a bowl coated with cooking spray. Cover with plastic wrap and let dough rise until doubled, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Coat an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Punch down and shape into a loaf. Place the loaf seam-side down in the prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until almost doubled, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake the bread until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped, 30 to 40 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
Tips & Notes
- Note: Bread-machine yeast is a finely granulated yeast specially formulated for use in bread machines. Ascorbic acid is added as a dough conditioner to promote volume. This yeast can also be used in the food-processor method. If it is not available, you can substitute active dry yeast; heat the water to 120-130°F.

Who do not like a garden wedding? Maybe there are some. There are anyway many areas of consideration, but then if everything's fine and it is your dream to be wed as garden wedding then, why not? That is pretty awesome especially surrounded or witnessed by friends and family. Then there are complete set of entourage like maid or matron of honor, bridesmaids with their beautiful bridesmaid dresses, flower girls, coin and ring bearers and many more including groom's men, best man and alike. Of course primary and secondary sponsors too! Who could not picture out of a beautiful garden's ambiance where it is celebrated. ;-) Am dreaming (just now)! It never occurred in my mind before (I was busy with other areas of consideration) but then for now, it will just be as a dream but who knows I will be wed again (but of the same man, of course). :-D

State Fire Marshal Larry Matkaitis, facing stiff opposition from policymakers and state residents, withdrew an effort to get a joint legislative panel to approve rules that would mandate the installation of fire sprinklers in new homes and older high-rise residential buildings.
Said Matkaitis in the article:
In the course of this process, it's become clear that any proposed state rule needs additional refinement.
The Life Safety Code changes were filed with the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). While a JCAR hearing date had not been set, the fire marshal had planned his own public hearing in Springfield on Aug. 6. The fire marshal's hearing has now been cancelled.
If passed, the change would have:
- Forced all new homes to have the sprinkler systems, a measure that could have added $10,000 or more to the cost of a home. The change would have been particularly expensive for those in rural areas where water pressure guidelines might have required the drilling of additional wells.
- Required all pre-1975 high-rise residential buildings to be retrofitted with sprinkler systems. The move would have cost millions per building in many cases, and would have forced rents and condo assessments to increase significantly.

Why we are sleep deprived
Although there are many reasons for fatigue this article will concentrate on sleep and sleep disorders.
We will start with the most obvious which is lack of sleep. Many people do not get enough sleep. Instead of sleeping they are on the Internet all night long, watching TV and playing games. They feel tired but they just can't get away from their source of entertainment and pleasure.
Adults should be getting between seven to eight hours of sleep each night. Lack of sleep can lead to health problems and lack of concentration during the day.
How to fix the problem
Turn off all the laptop, TV, and everything else that distracts you from getting to sleep. Set a routine for having the same bedtime each night.
You may be getting in your eight hours of sleep and yet you are still tired. This could be because you have sleep apnea which is a condition where you lose sleep at night because you stop breathing. You may not be aware that you stop breathing for a few seconds throughout the night; or, sleep apnea may even wake you up several times throughout the night.
Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder which occurs over and over again all night long.
How to avoid sleep apnea
You can lose weight as sleep apnea is known to happen when people are overweight, stop smoking, and if necessary get yourself a CPAP which is an apparatus used to supply much needed oxygen that occurs when you stop breathing due to sleep apnea.
Not enough energy
Your body needs the right kinds of food to keep you healthy. If you don't eat enough chances are you will feel tired but if you are eating the wrong foods the same thing can happen. Your blood sugar may drop because of poor diet and that in turn may be causing the fatigue.
Eat a good breakfast every day with protein and carbohydrates such as eggs and whole wheat toast. Eat your regular there square meals and some snacks in between which are healthy for you like fruits and veggies. Smaller portion sizes spread out throughout the day often helps.
Anemia is the number one cause of fatigue in women. Your body needs red blood cells for oxygenation. Anemia occurs when the red blood cell count is low. Your monthly period may be taking away the iron in your blood and causing the anemia.
How to fix it anemia
Make sure you get enough iron in your diet. Eat iron enriched foods such as beans, enriched cereals, lean meat, and shellfish.
Depression is a psychological condition affecting our emotions but it can also affect our physical health as well. Depression can also cause loss of appetite, fatigue, and headaches.
The fix for Depression
Some counselling may help you with your depression. Talking about it to someone such as a counsellor or friend helps. If the depression is severe medications may be warranted.
The thyroid gland is found at the base of the neck. It is responsible for keeping your metabolism normal. If the thyroid is underactive it will affect your system in many ways such as making you feel sluggish and tired all the time.
How to fix hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is determined by blood tests. If the tests confirm you have hypothyroidism you will be treated with medication to stimulate the thyroid gland.
Most of us know already that caffeine is a stimulant and perks us up. Too much caffeine can elevate your blood pressure, heart rate, and have the counter effect of making you tired.
How to reduce caffeine
You would need to cut down on soft drinks, tea, coffee, sugar, and anything containing caffeine so that it does not make you sluggish and sleepy and interfere with your sleep.
Urinary tract infections
The most obvious signs of a urinary tract infection is the burning and pain associated with the sense of urgency. However, you may still have a urinary tract infection and only feel tired and sluggish.
The solution for urinary tract infection
A urine test can determine if you have a urinary tract infection. If that is the case you will be treated with antibiotics.
What happens with diabetes is that there is a very high content of sugar in the blood. This sugar remains in the blood and does not enter the cells to be converted into energy.
Fixing diabetes
Diabetics need to controll their blood sugar and chance their lifestyle. These changes include diet and exercise, medication, and or insulin.
If you are thirsty you are already dehydrated. Whether you are doing an intense workout or sitting down at the computer you still need to drink enough water.
The fix for dehydration
The fix for dehydration is simple. Drink lots of water. Drink at least two cups of water every hour before a workout. Drink eight glasses of water a day. Drink so that your urine is a light color. Dark urine means you are not getting in enough water.
Heart Disease
If you are getting tired from normal everyday tasks. Or you notice that you are you are unable to complete tasks like you did before, this could be a sign of heart disease. Your heart may no longer be functioning the way that it should.
How to help control heart disease
Controlling heart disease would include changing your lifestyle by going to the doctor for tests, exercising and proper diet, therapy and medication.
Shift Work
Shift work and irregular working hours interferes with your body routine and your internal clock, and the sleep system called the circadian rhythm. You may not be able to sleep in the daytime if you work the graveyard shift at night and that may make you feel tired during the day.
Remedy for shift work tiredness
Avoid as much sunlight as possible. When you sleep close the curtains and make the room as dark as you can. Your doctor may also prescribe some vitamin supplements and or medication.
Food allergies
If you feel tired after eating you may have some food allergies which are causing the problem.
How to know if you have food allergies
You would need to eliminate a food you eat one at a time to help distinguish if you are tired after eating that particular food. Your doctor or dietician can help guide you through this process.
Chronic fatigue syndrome and Fibromyalgia
Both chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia can be the reason for your fatigue especially if it lasts for more than six months and you just are too tired to do just about anything.
How to relieve chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia tiredness
Unfortunately, there isn't a cure to relieve the tiredness but lifestyle changes such a eating better, sleeping better, and exercising can help.
Finally if you have mild fatigue and no underlying medical condition is found, simply exercising can bring back your energy.

To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often – Sir Winston Churchill
Since opening almost one year ago, Churchill's Public House has been on a mission to change, but only in pursuit of perfection. While they maintain their fundamental philosophies of friendly, welcoming demeanor and traditional English menu items, most regulars will tell you Churchill's is only getting better.
We currently live in a world where all food, even English food, is becoming more appetizing as chefs try new recipes and gain access to interesting ingredients. Conventional English pub food consists of greasy fish and chips, or bangers and mash with a side of mushy peas. While Churchill's offers these two items on their menu, they played with the recipes until a compromise between out-of-date and contemporary, and ultimately Colorado-approved, was found.
The fish and chips begin with hearty tilapia fillets dipped in a tempura-style batter and fried golden. The fish is served with a side of fresh-cut seasoned chips (French fries for the Americans in the house), coleslaw, caper lemon aioli for dipping, and lemon dressed spinach salad. Sure, cod is traditional English fare for a chippy, but cod is already an oily fish. Dunk it in thick beer batter, fry, and then serve with a side of greasy, soggy chips and you've got an oily mess that will soak through the thickest of newspapers. Churchill's version is light and crispy and so easy to enjoy.
Churchill's Shepard's pie starts with fresh, ground Colorado lamb as the base. Ground lamb is simmered with peas, carrots, in a rich brown demi-glace sauce. The savory meat and veggies are topped with piped and then broiled mashed potatoes. This is, arguably, the best Shepard's Pie in Denver!
In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Britain was "the empire on which the sun never sets". During 1858-1947, Britain ruled over India. Britain was lucky enough to have traditional Indian food become a staple in restaurants and homes even after India gained democracy. No proper English pub would be complete without a few Indian menu items. Churchill's has two favorites - chicken tikka masala and coconut chicken curry - to rival even Denver's best Indian restaurants.
But it's Happy Hour at Churchill's which might just be its best kept secret. Pork and lamb potstickers, braised pork or fish tacos, individual serving-sized Shepard's pie, and wings are all just $5 each. Drink specials ranging from $1-$5, including Pimm's Cup, are available with any food purchase.
Next week begins the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Churchill's will be offering contests, brackets, prizes, and food and drink specials since they're proud to be Denver's World Cup Headquarters! Follow them on Facebook for giveaways and other specials.

Organon of Medicine Sixth Edition
Samuel Hahnemann, MD
Translated by Dr. J. Kunzli, A. Naude, P. Pendleton.
Reviewed by Daniel Cook, MD
The sixth edition of the Organon has had a clouded history. Hahnemann published the fifth edition in 1833, which was translated into English by Dudgeon in 1849, six years after Hahnemann's death. This was the last edition of Hahnemann's work available in any part of the world until 1921. Hahnemann's closest associates knew through personal correspondence that he was working on a 6th edition at the end of his life. Initially written in French, it remained unpublished, and subsequently disappeared without a trace. He then wrote a sixth edition in German, but did not publish it. His widow admitted to possessing it and getting it ready for publication, but she kept it unpublished for unknown reasons, and it passed to the Boenninghausen family at her death.
The Boenninghausens guarded it "almost as a sacred relic" and would let no one even see it, according to Dr. Richard Haehl, a German homeopath and biographer of Hahnemann. In this way the homeopathic world was denied any knowledge of the sixth edition for nearly 80 years after its writing. On a visit to Haehl in 1891, Dr. James Ward and Dr. William Boericke, having read allusions to Hahnemann's later correspondence of his being at work on a 6th edition, inquired about the work, and when Haehl told them of its possession by the Boenninghausens, they offered to purchase it.
Twenty-nine years later the Boenninghausens, ruined by World War 1, accepted their offer and in 1920 gave up the manuscript to Haehl, acting as intermediary. Haehl apparently kept if for some time, then had it delivered to Dr. Boericke. The manuscript, which is now in the library of University of California San Francisco, is a printed German fifth edition with handwritten additions and corrections neatly placed in the margins.
Haehl published the German sixth edition in 1921. Boericke, using a Dudgeon fifth edition translation as the main body of the work, amended the Dudgeon text wherever there were handwritten changes in the German text. This he published as the translated sixth edition in 1922. After Dr. Pierre Schmidt translated the German sixth edition into French, he realized that the Boericke edition contained not only all the unevenness and in exactness of an amended translation from two different authors of different centuries, but contained also serious errors of translation which could not be tolerated in such an important work. Schmidt expressed his concerns to one of this new edition's translators (Mr. Naude), who with Dr. Kunzli and Mr. Pendleton translated the Hahnemann manuscript integrally and correctly into English for the first time in 1982. This translation, never reviewed in the JAIH, is being reissued by Cooper publishers after being out of print for a number of years. The Organon of Medicine is the most important book in homeopathy. The translation by Kunzli, Naude, Lind Pendleton is the only integral English translation of the final edition of' this work. It is brilliantly translated. This book is indispensable. Hahnemann's noble and beautiful 19th Century German has been put into noble and beautiful 20th Century English, thus preserving the book's grace and tone, which would have been lost in his long sentences, cumbersome and arduous to the modern ear, had not been carefully divided. All the errors of the Boericke edition have been corrected. There may be some disagreement about the precise rendering of a few words, but never is Hahnemann's teaching altered thereby. Important clarifications of weights and measures are given. A comprehensive and extremely useful index is added for the first time in any English translation.
Why is this book still an essential textbook for homeopaths today? Unlike every other medical system in the West, which owing to poor results undergoes continual modification and revision (euphemistically called "development") so that its texts and practices are discredited and replaced every few decades, the laws and methods discovered by Hahnemann are as true today as when he first wrote them. The degree of completeness to which Hahnemann brought Homeopathy in the span of one lifetime is illustrated by the astonishing fact that Hahnemann's personal medical kit contained in 1840 the same medicines, given for the same indications, that homeopathic physicians carry in such kits today! It is difficult to find anything comparable to this in the history of human endeavor. Did Isaac Newton, after discovering the laws of mechanics, develop dozens of machines still manufactured today? The Organon, in which Hahnemann defined the system of medicine we call homeopathy, established in virtual completeness nearly all the principles and procedures that a homeopath Must adhere to today. They are unchanging laws of nature, and they must be known and rigorously followed. Is there anyone better to study them from than the greatest genius in the history of homeopathy?
One asks oneself many questions about this sixth edition. It is the last edition, but is it the final conclusion of Hahnemann's thought? Unlikely. Hahnemann was constantly experimenting until the end of his life. Had he lived longer, there would certainly have been a 7th, 8th, 9th edition. What notable differences do we find between the 5th and 6th editions? The main difference between the 6th edition and all the previous editions is Hahnemann's introduction of the quinquagintamillesimal potencies (named variously LM or Q potencies). This is much more than a different way of potentising remedies. Hahnemann was seeking a convenient procedure of making higher potencies that would act more forcefully yet without aggravations, so that the patient would be cured more quickly. His ceaseless experiences in this direction led him to publish no less than five different methods of preparing remedies in the last ten years of his life: smelling remedies; taking them dissolved in water; giving each ascending potency ten succussions, later two succussions, later 20 to 50 succussions; triturating on the centesimal scale; triturating on the quinquagintamillesimal Scale. (footnote 3). Each of these methods was published with Hahnemann's full conviction, only to be criticized by him a few years later when he introduced its successor. His experiments with the quinquagintamillesimal potencies took place in the last few years of his life. His last casebooks show that he used them only infrequently. Since Hahnemann wrote the Organon only after more than 10 years of continuous investigation, and since similarly more than 10 years of study preceded his writing of the Chronic Diseases, it seems odd that the LM potencies were included in the Organon 6th edition with such little prior study and experience.
Today, 70 years after their public introduction in 1921, the LM potencies have not been adopted. Dr. Kunzli, who investigated them extensively and intended to champion their use, ultimately found only a very limited and conditional place for them in his practice. The reasons for this are clear. The great development of' homeopathy in America in the late 19th Century, based as it was on the 5th Edition, saw the investigation and establishment of an immense range of centesimal potencies produced easily by machine, plus an accurate knowledge of the forcefulness and duration of these potencies (the so-called Kentian scale) up to CM and beyond. This development fulfilled all aims that Hahnemann was trying to achieve with his LM potencies, with none of the pitfalls of over frequent dosing. The fact is, the homeopathy of Hering, Lippe, Nash, H. C. Allen, Kent, Gladwin, Weir, Tyler, and Pierre Schmidt is the homeopathy of the 5th edition of the Organon. The conclusion and extension of Hahnemann's thought and its systematization into the cohesive whole which we call Kentian or classical homeopathy - this body of knowledge proceeds entirely from the 5th edition.
Lastly there is the question of the authenticity of the UCSF manuscript. Dr. Josef Schmidt has made a study of the handwriting in the 6th edition manuscript, and it seems it is not all Hahnemann's. Apparently among the succession of people who held the manuscript during its 80 years of secrecy, not one but several of them could not keep their pens off it. Haehl appears to be one of the main offenders. But whatever questions may arise about the authenticity of the German text, the fact remains that this is Hahnemann's Iast edition of the Organon, and this is the only text we have of it. Therefore a correct English translation of it is absolutely indispensable, and this one is it. Even if we reject the 6th edition in favor of the 5th edition, it is essential that we know what we are rejecting and why. For this additional reason this translation is indispensable.

Mundane physical objects all around us are connecting to networks, communicating with mobile devices and each other to create what's being called an "Internet of Things," or IoT.
(CNN) - A house that tracks your every movement through your car and automatically heats up before you get home. A toaster that talks to your refrigerator and announces when breakfast is ready through your TV. A toothbrush that tattles on kids by sending a text message to their parents.
Exciting or frightening, these connected devices of the futuristic "smart" home may be familiar to fans of science fiction. Now the tech industry is making them a reality.
Mundane physical objects all around us are connecting to networks, communicating with mobile devices and each other to create what's being called an "Internet of Things," or IoT. Smart homes are just one segment -- cars, clothing, factories and anything else you can imagine will eventually be "smart" as well.
But there's a catch: So far, most Internet of Things products have been a messy tangle of different wireless protocols and brands. Many can communicate with their own apps and ecosystems but haven't found a way to play nice with each other. The Nest thermostat, which can adapt to your energy-consumption habits, is just one example.
These standalone devices and ecosystems are running their own proprietary software and speaking different languages. Your smart toaster is humming along in French, for example, while your fridge is babbling about dairy expiration dates in Japanese.
Now chipmaker Qualcomm is trying to give the industry a major push with an open-source project that can link all these disparate pieces. Qualcomm is hoping its platform, called AllJoyn, could act as a sort of universal translator for the industry.
Over the past four years, Qualcomm has been working on its AllJoyn protocol to connect devices from different manufacturers, even if they have different communication standards. It wants to be the de facto language your fridge, lightbulbs and garage door all use to communicate.

I finished the Nightsong Shawl and blocked it on a bed. It is soft and lightweight and I'm very pleased although I have nothing in these colors. I still have plenty more of this yarn and I'll put it away for now.
Two days ago I finished up some striped socks for Mac and he put them right on. Then feeling very thrifty, I reknit a toe for one of his old socks. I also took an old one of mine down past the heel turn and I'm reknitting a foot with some new yarn. It beats knitting an entire sock.
Now I must start another shawl and I'm trying to marry various yarn with patterns. My state of mind with Mac in and out of doctor's offices and the hospital plays havoc with my concentration and I end up tinking and frogging.
Sister Toni Andrews sent some photos of waves a few weeks ago and one has inspired me to make a Fair Isle cardigan in the colors, inky blue and golds. Knitpicks has some wool sport yarn that's perfect, but I live in Florida and an acrylic blend would be more practical. Maybe even a cotton acrylic, but the colors in that blend are just too wimpy to suit me. The sweater is in my head and I've just got to make it.

It is my pleasure to bring to you the 10th installment of Anthro Artist
Feature & Interview. We will be featuring the extremely talented
Carnal Buffalo Movie Poster by nightrhino
is just one of the many posters available in his gallery that offers such an appealing, delicious tease into the amazing series Carnal.
There is such an attractive quality about all the posters available that really draws you in to each! It makes you want to own the book now!
Ever sense I discovered nightrhino on DeviantART I have been a hooked and addicted fan. He brings to the table such unique pieces of art and a quality in Anthro art rarely seen! Whether it's the vicious characteristics of the hyena roaming the plains or the lions riding their trusty rhino steeds through the African plains while marching to war. Thank you nightrhino for your amazing talent and sharing it with the rest of us! Be sure to check out his website and support a fellow artist in his venture to sharing his love of art with the rest of the world! Make sure to listen to the music on his site, it really sets the mood (;
Tell us a little bit about yourself! What first perked your interest in the Anthro community and Anthro art itself?
I'm a huge fan of animals. I watch national geographic and animal planet probably a little too much. The idea of combining animals and humans into a new species played around in my mind. I'd think of the problems they would have, or possibly the improvements they would take place.. I thought it would make for a great story and art.
What is your favorite medium to work with? Why? How long have you been working with this medium?
I went to art school to become a painter. I wanted to work in oils on canvas and make a living at it, but in todays market I adapted to computer work. I work in photoshop and painter. I try to approach the
designs like I was doing a painting on canvas .
What is your favorite piece from your gallery? Why?
Probably the Carnal book illustration . That got a lot of response and I kind of like how the eyes came out.
Your work is so inspiring and brings a new palette to the world of art. Your Anthro art seems to derive from more human like beings who have morphed into animals through long processes in time. Can you tell us a little bit about what sparked this story? These characters?
It started with a nightmare 10 years ago of a humanistic rhino fighting humanistic hyenas. It was from that dream that I started doing designs and the story just started to percolate. It took about 10 years of working on it off and on but I have it pretty clear in my head how it will all play out. I love the idea of the animals evolving over a long period of time, their flaws and different struggles.
Where does most of your inspiration come from for your artwork?
That's hard to answer. Everywhere I guess. Sometimes images pop into my head but most of the time I work on a design and change it a hundred times before it actually becomes something.
Being an artist we always find ourselves improving and growing from our old works. What is your least favorite piece in your gallery? Have you learned a lot sense this piece artistic wise?
I usually don't like anything I do, I cringe when I look at old designs and I think what the hell was I thinking? Looking at old designs I see how my style is changing and the brush work is different.
What do you find most challenging about Anthro art or your art in general?
I think its getting a good balance of animal and humanistic form and making it believable. That is what I struggle with.
How long have you had a passion for Anthro art? Was there someone who inspired you? A group of people?
Ever since I saw Frank Frazettas painting of a werewolf when I was just a kid, I have been fascinated with the idea of Anthro.
Is there anything that you are working on, project wise / art wise, that you want to share with the community?
Between my full time job, my family and working on Carnal I haven't had a hole lot of time to pursue some other ideas I had but I will get around to them. It's still a little too early to share.
Do you have any advice to offer future / current / aspiring Anthro artists?
Yes. Work on your vision of anthro characters. The great thing about anthro is there are no rules to how your characters should look. It is a huge limitless category that you can create in. Keep working and improving your characters. In my case, the designs kind of went through their own evolution and were always changing.

What a truly inspiring artist, and a very nice feature!

Latest Weather Blog
A Gray St. Patty's Day
A stubborn cloud deck will have the greatest impact on our weather today. Morning satellite trends and surface observations indicate overcast skies well back into Northeast Texas, with little southeastward progression in clearing. Now that a cold front has passed through the area, rain chances have declined but so have the thermometers after a weekend of afternoons in the 70s. Morning readings in the 40s will have trouble rising as cold air continues to advance south via a northwest breeze. Again, that cloud deck's behavior is paramount to today's forecast. Current expectations are for it to hold into the afternoon leading to a high temperature max out in the lower 50s. Should clouds break and a little sun get through with a few hours of daylight left, readings may climb into the upper 50s. Either way, most of today's weather will resemble that of the 'Old Country!'
