Jennifer Lopez Hosts a PDA-Packed AMAs Afterparty in a Fringe Mini
Jennifer Lopez kept the American Music Awards fun going with an afterparty at Greystone Manor Supperclub in West Hollywood last night. She hosted the festivities in an Emilio Pucci mini after donning multiple looks on stage. J Lo got sexy in a skin-colored body suit and also changed into a black lace number during the event, where she picked up the award for favorite Latin artist. J Lo celebrated the big win with one of her dancers, Casper Smart, who she's been linked to since her separation from husband Marc Anthony was announced in July. Apparently, J Lo and Casper kissed during the post-show bash, which went late into the night.

1. When the group you club with says that bills are split among males only
Guys like to jaga girls ma and we love them for it! We also like to be taken care of once in awhile!
2. The degree of fun you'll have = the amount of drinks you took
3. Treatment from guys depend on the presence of your boyfriend
See how I didn't say "relationship status" but "the presence of your boyfriend"? You know it's true.
Nowadays, it doesn't matter whether you're single or in a relationship when you're in a club. As long as you're alone, guys would usually try their luck with you.
4. Being extra careful with guys you meet at the club
Whether they are date material or not, it wouldn't hurt to be extra careful. This usually follows with a little bit of Facebook stalking.
5. The creeps
Having someone latching their eyes on you or attempt to hold you is something girls have to deal with every. damn. time.
6. The struggle of wearing heels
Walking, dancing, standing for a whole night in heels can be torture. But it's worth it because it makes us look fabulous af *tears*
7. Going to the toilet is the absolute WORST
When your bladder starts calling you to go to the toilet, that's one of the worst feelings ever because you know damn well that it'll take at least 10 minutes until you get to pee. The line to the toilet is always so long you probably wished girls could use urinals too. Hence, warning, never hold your bladder until it's full or the wait will definitely be torture.
8. Strict parents mean having "sleepovers" instead
We don't condone lying to your parents but it's a common excuse for girls who have parents that restrict them from partying.
9. Telling yourself you're not gonna drink a lot
But probably end up doing so anyway.
10. Girls are the best company
You'd think the as girls, we'd like to party with guys more. But on the contrary! Partying with chicks beat dicks any day! From giggles to dancing, what's not to love?
11. The saying "I'm cold" automatically translates to "not enough to drink"
We wanna look sexy in our bare shoulder dress and mini skirts. Too bad the club always gets too cold for us though.. until you have enough to drink that is.
12. You are the first person in your group to be on the dance floor
We also don't understand the words "I don't dance". What does it even mean?
13. You are a different person by day
People who has never seen you club will be surprised to see the different side of you.
14. Clubbing is somehow the go-to after a break up
15. But it's probably not the best idea
16. How we think we look when dancing
vs how we really look like
17. That giddy and excited feeling when we make eye contact with a cute guy
18. Most likely kissed a girl on the lips before
Image source: edmdroid
19. Waking up regretting the things you've done the night before
Being in an alcohol-induced state of mind, there has been things that we've done which we're not too proud of.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
..... thinking about this for nothing? I have an operating company, and I have a holding company that holds the IP assets of the operating company. They are both LLC's I have 2 different bank accounts. Have an license agreement between holding company, and operating company for use of the IP assets. Should I put a trust together for all the assets or a will ? I am single no children. My mom is still alive, and brother-brother has 3 children. The lawyer I have is not an estate planner, he is a corporate lawyer that turned me on to this site.
Any guidance would be of great help.
Get your corporate attorney to recommend a top notch local estate planning attorney.
Nothing can replace a face to face meeting with a 1/2 hour to hour meeting to discuss your
Most likely the outcome will be a trust that avoids probate and guardianship.
Your new estate planning attorney will discuss what assets are protected by state statutes,
and recommend what level of insurance to purchase in case of auto accidents(like an umbrella
Your corporations already give you protection of your personal assets.
The answer given does not imply that an attorney-client relationship has been established and your best course of action is to have legal representation in this matter.Ask a similar question
Thank you Sir.
It seems that you are looking not so much for a trust, or for a will, but for peace of mind. And that's a common result when individuals get their estate plan completed.
And, frankly, Avvo is not the best format for addressing your situation. Your concern about protecting what you have raises issues not only about keeping your assets safe from "creditors and predators," but also the successful continuation of the business operations in the event of your disability or death. I suggest a "team" approach in which you work with your corporate attorney, an estate planning attorney, and a business succession specialist to coordinate your efforts. (Nothing can be more unsettling in a situation such as yours to have one advisor undoing what another advisor has done.) An estate planning attorney would likely be able to recommend a business succession specialist.
One other note. Mr. Pippen's reply refers to "your corporations." Of course, LLC's are not corporations. They give you protection from personal liability similar to that of corporations, but without the formalities required to conduct business as a corporation.Ask a similar question
ASKER BEWARE the answer of Mr. Lazarus. It is identical to solicitations posted in a number questions today, inappropriate to your needs, and a terms of use violation. Avvo has been notified

A consensus seems to have emerged in the United States that fresh thinking is needed for a targeted stimulus package that will address effectively the many connected problems the economy faces. One piece of the problem is that there has been a near-halt in construction, as it has become clear that too many homes have been built on speculation that house prices could only rise and never fall. Moreover, there has been a large decline in borrowing to finance the construction of homes and commercial buildings, as both households and businesses (even financially sound ones) have hunkered down to weather the storm.

Two carefree castaways on a desert shore find an Arabian Nights city, where they compete for the luscious Princess Shalmar.
Road To Morocco is still arguably the best of the seven "Road" movies which were initiated purely by accident in 1940 with Road To Singapore. A light and lively showcase for a very under-rated double act, Road To Morocco was also unusual for its time in constantly drawing attention to itself as a movie.
A new brand of comic breeziness, the "Road" series easily bested the later Marx Brothers in the all-round entertainment stakes.
Watch this one again and it's worth it just to catch the look on Hope's face as he reads a book called How To Make Love In Six Lessons.

Reviving a slightly older thread. I have a 30" MES Analog but thinking about purchasing the XL Propane.

Parish councils have long been regarded as sleepy institutions that look after the park benches and plant a few flowers in the local roundabout.
But all that could be about to change, if you believe communities secretary Hazel Blears.
She is heralding an era of 'parish power' and wants to see new town and parish councils established across the country as a means of re-invigorating local democracy.
With representation though - as many people are finding out - comes taxation.
In some areas, parish councils are taking on more and more responsibilities, and in turn, they are pushing up their part of the council tax - the parish precept.
No cap
Unlike other tiers of local government, parish and town councils are not capped, and so can put up the precept by as much as they like.
And some have done just that.
Thurston Parish Council, in Suffolk, put its council tax bill up 214%.
It says this was a one off rise and designed largely to boost its cash reserves on the orders of the district auditor.
Burnham Parish Council, in Buckinghamshire, almost doubled its precept two years ago - largely as a one off charge to help finance its plans to refurbish or rebuild Burnham Park Hall.
In Letchworth Garden City, in Hertfordshire, the parish precept for this financial year has leapt by 206%.
Electorate upset
And so upset are some residents that they want to see Letchworth "de-parished" - that is the town council abolished, even though it was only established in 2005.
A group of residents have now set up the organisation HELP - or Help Eliminate Letchworth Parish Council - to rid themselves of what they see as an expensive and unnecessary extra layer of government.
Matthew Heaton, from HELP said: "Everything is already covered by the district council and the county council.
"We're paying for those services and they're providing them perfectly well and we're not keen to pay for another tier that will charge us again for the same services.
"We also see it as another layer of bureaucracy, and putting in another layer of bureaucracy is just unworkable."
Value for money
The town council itself says it is good value for money and has many plans that will improve Letchworth. But it also needs funds - and time - to establish itself.
"We are a pennies, not a pounds council. We are where democracy begins, not ends. If you believe in community you have to take a leap of faith and handover money and power to our neighbourhoods", says Mayor Philip Ross.
Many parish and town councils also argue that they are being forced to push up precepts to meet the extra obligations that are being placed on them by other councils further up the food chain - councils constrained in their spending by capping levels set by central government.
National examples
In Northumberland, several parish councils are considering taking over the running of their local libraries, currently owned and staffed by the county council.
In Kirkham, in Lancashire, the parish council there is looking at ways it can save the local swimming pool, which the district council says it may no longer be able to afford to keep open.
One option being considered is using parish council funds to help set up a community trust that would eventually run the pool.
Bishop's Stortford Town Council, in Hertfordshire, has already taken on services once provided at district level.
It runs one lot of public toilets in the town, and while the district council does provide some funding, the town council puts in money from the precept rather than risk them having to be closed due to a lack of cash.
Funding should match function
Justin Griggs, from the National Association of Local Councils, admits that in some instances precepts have risen sharply, but points out that parish and town councils are doing much more, and need the funding to match their growing responsibilities.
"We've seen 191 new parish councils created in the last 10 years in response to community demand.
"These are local people that are seeing gaps in service provision, seeing gaps in the representation and voice that's provided to them, and they want an institution of local government that's close to them to provide services, to respond to community needs and be their voice", he said.

Colonial days were recalled at a banquet at the New Orleans Country Club; the Hilton Riverside drew supporters of the Jewish Endowment Foundation; and the Vieux Carre home of Dr. Carlos Trujillo was transformed into an Italian street fair for the French Quarter Advocates.
Good causes — and times — were duly observed.
The Joint Fall Court
The Society of Colonial Wars in Louisiana (the "Warriors") and the National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Louisiana (the "Dames") came together on a recent Friday evening for the Joint Fall Court. Mrs. James J. Morrison Jr. answers to president of the Dames, and Herschel Lee Abbott Jr., to governor of the Warriors. Concerning the attire for the formal dinner, white tie was preferred. Black tie was permitted.
Among the honored guests were society Governor-General Gerald Gettys Tyrrell and wife Betsy of Louisville, Kentucky. After an introduction by Governor Abbott, Gerald Tyrrell of the General Society of Colonial Wars spoke about the Warriors' activities and encouraged members to attend the General Society meeting in Bermuda in May 2015.
Further notables were Anne Abbott and JJ Morrison, spouses of the above Herschel and Pat; Fall Court Co-Chairmen Eugene "Gene" Preaus, a former governor, and Ann; past Governor-General Howard Soper with Carroll, a Dames past president; and past Governor Harry and Susan Kelleher. In Carnival circles, Herschel Abbott and Harry Kelleher have answered to Rex, as did dinner attendee Hunter Pierson, who was joined by Cathy.
Dining, too, were Rutledge and Joy Clement, Walter and Ella Flower, sisters Laura Shields and Betsy Nalty Simmons with Sonny and Dick, Jim and Jo Nelle Kepper, newlywed Bob Pettit — he and Alma Slatten swapped vows several months ago, Cliff Jackson and Col. Sheila Krenter, Cathryn Abbott Jones and Middleton O'Malley, and Craig and Louise "Weesie" Ripley. To mention most.
Round tables of eight seated the Warriors and Dames, who, not only enjoyed prandial pleasures and the amiable company, but also the music of the Marine Brass Band.
The Tzedakah Award
Fall colors embellished the ballroom of the Hilton Riverside for the 2014 annual event of the Jewish Endowment Foundation of Louisiana, which was billed "Brunch" and chaired by Bob Brickman. Thanks for underwriting in part tapped the Whitney Bank, Francis L. Fraenkel, the Jean and Saul A. Mintz Supporting Family Foundation, Postlethwaite & Netterville, and the Hartwig Moss Insurance Agency.
Awards were many, led off by the Tzedakah Award, JEF's highest honor, for Karen and Eddie Soll. It was presented by Maury Herman. Further laureates and presenters were Andi Lestelle, JEF President Richard Cahn; Morton Katz, JEF executive director Sandy Levy; Ellie Wainer, and the above JEF Vice President Andi Lestelle. Immediate past President Carol Wise was the subject of a special presentation.
Rabbi Robert Loewy gave the invocation.
Joining the Solls were sons and daughters-in-law Shea and Michelle (and their triplet daughters Lauren, Maya and Reyna), Michael and Stacey, and Gregg and Ellen. With some of the above-mentioned were Caroline Brickman; Vivian Cahn with mom Hertha Bart and brother and sister-in-law Morris and Cathy Bart — the Cahn and Bart families are past Tzedakah recipients, as are several of the following; Terry Lestelle and his mother, June; Bruce Wainer with his and Ellie's children, Courtney and Josh, and Bruce's parents, Beverly and Lester; Ginny Wise Wilkins; and Carole Katz with her and Morton's sons, Andrew, Brian and Jonathan.
Noted, too, were Charles A. "Rusty" Levy III and Renee; John and Amy Gainsburgh Haspel, Kim Austin, Jeff Charrier, Greg Hodlewsky, Marianne and Isidore Cohn, Melinda and Morris Mintz, Alan Franco, Tim and Sheila Gold, and past JEF Presidents Joyce Pulitzer and Ellen Yellin with Sidney and Marc.
Congratulations to the awardees abounded.
La Bella Italia
Guests felt transported to Italian turf, thanks to the "street fair" decorations of string lights, gingham table runners, sunflowers in wine carafe centerpieces, and banners from different regions of the thematic country. Of course, food was an integral part of the French Quarter Advocates Gala and it pleased the party pack with an antipasto table provided by Southern Hospitality Catering, a seafood charcuterie board by Redfish Grill, main courses by Crescent City Brewhouse and Rocky & Carlo's Restaurant, and desserts by Dickie Brennan's Palace Café and Vincent's Italian Restaurant. Matassa's Market provided an assortment of Italian wines.
The proverbial icing on the cake came from the vocalists: mandolinist and crooner Eddie Russo and opera singers Robin Follman, soprano, and Linda Malin, mezzo soprano. The latter two regaled the assembly with arias.
Delighting in the event were French Quarter Advocates founder and President Bryan Drude, host Carlos Trujillo, Alvin Able and Virginia Boulet, Carole Follman, Harold and Lynne Neitzschman, Michael Wilkinson, FQA Vice President Linda Malin and Bill Miller, Jeff and Celia Collins, Kay Baxter, Mia Mattassa, Lynda DePanicis and Brian Hooper, Jim Caridi, Margarita Bergen, and John and Crystal Hinds.
A sense of history permeated the partying and generated the Italian theme. The home of host Carlos was the former convent and orphanage of Mother Cabrini, St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, M.S.C., an Italian religious sister and founder of many institutions. She was naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 1909. According to Bryan Drude, "It was the perfect setting for a very successful event with everyone having a fantastic time."

As a journalist, I've been one of those who lived in anticipation of covering "a big story", and when it happened; be it a natural disaster, horrific accident or multiple murder, almost gleefully sought out the gory details since the more casualties, the more dramatic the story, and the more likely my byline would appear on the front page. Lionel Shriver, a journalist herself, knows this rush and how being in the right place at the right time can make a career, just as poor timing and bad luck (for the journalist) can consign one to mediocrity. So how far would a journalist go so a "big story event" would land in their lap, where he or she would be on the scene, the go-to person for updates, the reporter other reporters are reporting on? When anonymous bombings take lives of civilians and no group comes forward to claim them, Shriver's protagonist, Barrington Sadler, a larger than life character with a name to match, decides to attribute them to a fictitious terrorist group in a backwater part to the world he is assigned to cover. This provides him with the best of all possible situations for a journalist - being on the spot and having inside information (since he created it). When Sadler disappears, his replacement, Edward Kellogg, figures out the scam but rather than expose it, continues with it for the same reasons Sadler did. Shriver's satirical novel asks important questions, specifically is the media complicit with terrorists when they give in-depth coverage of the carnage and background context about their cause? Shriver's creation of the setting (fictitious) and political and economic grievances (contrived) all have the ring of authenticity as do her characters; the cynical media hacks, the pious spokesperson for the terrorists, and the academic apologists. The only thing this novel lacks is a sympathetic character, one the reader could align themselves with and cheer for. Everyone is self-serving and nasty. Though quite brilliantly conceived and written, once the message has been delivered the story peters out. It's like the author imbued the characters with the necessary qualities, they did their job conveying various aspects of the story, and then she had no idea what to do with them. The protagonist almost literally rides off into the sunset.
LIonel likes to tell the world how much she hates it. Truth be told, she is a spoiled New Yorker who lost empathy with the human race. To write a comedy about terrorism is beneath contempt. Bravo to the NY Times for trashing it. She is not a great American writer.

Updated for Computer Animation
I've spent a lot of my life studying animation informally, and then I got myself a position at a major motion picture studio (Rhythm & Hues) and for the past nine years I've been immersed in the art, technology and culture of feature animation. I helped write the animation training curriculae during my time at the studio, and some of my students went on to win Academy Awards for their work.
One of the core topics I taught was the Twelve Principles of Animation, but I adjusted mine to more properly apply to modern 3D animation. Yes, there are some differences in approach.
I thought I'd share.
The material here came originally from the "Illusion Of Life" by Frank Thomas & Ollie Johnston.(pp.47-69), and has been quoted and paraphrased by a number of other seasoned professional animators who know far more than I (and I've added some of my own observations as well). The original idea was to describe how animation ought to be done in hand-drawn animation, but most of them apply equally well in computer animation.Animation is animation regardless, of course, whether you use a pencil or a computer. Computer animation isn't 3D animation any more than hand drawn animation is 2D – we simply use different tools to achieve the same end, and the result is a two-dimensional representation of the action regardless of the method used to produce it. Even now, with the push to make everything a 3D film, the same principles still apply. Motion is motion, and in the end, it's what we perceive from our fixed vantage point as an audience that really defines the art.
Squash and Stretch
This action gives the illusion of weight and volume to a character as it moves. Also squash and stretch is useful in animating dialogue and doing facial expressions. How extreme the use of squash and stretch is, depends on what is required in animating the scene. Usually it's broader in a short style of picture and subtler in a feature. It is used in all forms of character animation from a bouncing ball to the body weight of a person walking. This is the most important element you will be required to master and will be used often.
Three-dimensional squash and stretch can be implemented with a variety of techniques: skin and muscle, springs, direct mesh manipulation and morphing. It can also be implemented in more experimental ways with weighting, especially for dynamics simulations, and unusual IK systems.
This movement prepares the audience for a major action the character is about to perform, such as, starting to run, jump or change expression. A dancer does not just leap off the floor. A backwards motion occurs before the forward action is executed. The backward motion is the anticipation. A comic effect can be done by not using anticipation after a series of gags that used anticipation. Almost all real action has major or minor anticipation such as a pitcher's wind-up or a golfers' back swing. Feature animation is often less broad than short animation unless a scene requires it to develop a characters personality.
The technique of anticipation helps to guide the audience's eyes to where the action is about to occur. Anticipation, including motion holds, is great for "announcing the surprise." In three-dimensional computer animation it can be fine-tuned using digital time-editing tools such as time sheets, timelines, and curves. More anticipation equals less suspense. Horror films, for example, switch back and forth from lots of anticipation to total surprise.
A pose or action should clearly communicate to the audience the attitude, mood, reaction or idea of the character as it relates to the story and continuity of the story line. The effective use of long, medium, or close up shots, as well as camera angles also helps in telling the story. There is a limited amount of time in a film, so each sequence, scene and frame of film must relate to the overall story. Do not confuse the audience with too many actions at once. Use one action clearly stated to get the idea across, unless you are animating a scene that is to depict clutter and confusion. Staging directs the audience's attention to the story or idea being told. Care must be taken in background design so it isn't obscuring the animation or competing with it due to excess detail behind the animation. Background and animation should work together as a pictorial unit in a scene.
Remember that as light and form contribute to the composition of a scene, so does motion; you can create contrast and focus in a scene by using motion, or lack thereof, to draw the audience's eye to a specific action or event on the screen.
Motion that takes place directly in front of the character tends to be lost. If at least part of the action can take place in profile or silhouette, it is much more readable.
Three-dimensional animatics are a great tool for previsualizing and blocking out the staging before the primary, secondary and facial animation. There are many staging techniques to tell the story visually: hiding or revealing the center of interest, and a chain reaction of actions-reactions are a couple of them. Staging can also be aided with contemporary cinematic techniques such as slow motion, frozen time, motion loops, and hand-held camera moves.
An Important Gotcha: This isn't really an animation principle so much as a production-wise "don't do this": don't just stage for the camera. Stage for the lighting too. Remember that your character is participating in the lighting solution for the scene as well as for the taking lens, and if it's in the wrong position in the scene, your character will either cast shadows in the wrong places or it'll be impossible to light correctly – or the pose you meant to be the center piece of the scene will be lost in shadows itself.
"Straight Ahead" and "Pose to Pose" Animation
Straight ahead animation starts at the first drawing and works drawing to drawing to the end of a scene. You can lose size, volume, and proportions with this method, but it does have spontaneity and freshness. Fast, wild action scenes are done this way. Pose to Pose is more planned out and charted with key drawings done at intervals throughout the scene. Size, volumes, and proportions are controlled better this way, as is the action. The lead animator will turn charting and keys over to his assistant. An assistant can be better used with this method so that the animator doesn't have to draw every drawing in a scene. An animator can do more scenes this way and concentrate on the planning of the animation. Many scenes use a bit of both methods of animation.
However, at motion picture studios most scenes are blocked out pose to pose first, in order to get approval on the basic motion in the scene before too much time is spent on actually animating it. Time spent animating before approval is given for the approach you're using is usually time lost.
Follow-through and Overlapping Action
It is not necessary for an animator to take a character to one point, complete that action completely, and then turn to the following action as if he had never given it a thought until after completing the first action. When a character knows what he is going to do he doesn't have to stop before each individual action and think to do it. He has it planned in advance in his mind. When the main body of the character stops all other parts continue to catch up to the main mass of the character, such as arms, long hair, clothing, coat tails or a dress, floppy ears or a long tail. Nothing stops all at once. This is "follow through."
"Overlapping action" is when the character changes direction while his clothes or hair continues forward. The character is going in a new direction, to be followed, a number of frames later, by his clothes in the new direction.
For example, when Snow White starts to dance, her dress does not begin to move with her immediately but catches up a few frames later. Long hair and animal tail will also be handled in the same manner. Timing becomes critical to the effectiveness of drag and theoverlapping action.
There seem to be five main categories of this kind of movement:
- If the character has any appendages or loose clothing, these continue to move after the rest of the figure has stopped. This is easy to see in real life. The movement of each must be timed carefully so it will have the correct feeling of weight, and it must continue to follow through in the pattern of action in a believable way, no matter how
broad the motion is.
- The body itself does not move all at once, but instead it stretches, catches up, twists, turns and contracts as the forms work against each other. As one part arrives at the stopping point, others may still be in movement; an arm or hand may continue its action even after the body is in its pose.
- The soft parts of a character is more resistant to changes in speed than the solid parts are. They have more inertia. This trailing behind in an action is sometimes called "drag", and it gives a looseness and a solidity to the figure that is vital to the feeling of life.
- The way in which an action is completed often tells us much about the character being portrayed. The anticipation sets up the action we expect (or is it the action the character expects?), the action whizzes past, and then we come to the "punch line" of the gag, the follow through, which tells us how the whole thing turned out.
- If an animated character we've accepted as being alive suddenly stops moving, it looks as though it's died. In real life, no living thing is ever truly completely stationary. The moving hold takes the concepts of follow-through and overlapping action to keep the character subtly moving on the hold, so as to keep this from happening.
The Moving Hold
In hand-drawn animation, it is very common to animate an action, then slow into a pose and hold the drawing of that pose for several frames, then move into action again. Being two dimensional animation, the action stays alive even with the use of held drawings. The same goes for puppet and clay animation. But in 3-D computer animation, as
soon as you go into a held pose, the action dies immediately. I've seen it happen with every animator that came out of traditional animation.
It must be the combination of the dimensional, realistic look and the smooth motion (usually on "ones") that makes a hold cause the motion to die. The eye picks it up immediately, it begins to look like robotic motion. To combat this, use a "moving hold." Instead of having every part of the character stop, have some part continue to
move slightly in the same direction, like an arm, a head, or even have the whole body.
Even the slightest movement will keep your character alive. Sometimes an action that feels believable in traditional animation, looks too cartoony in computer animation. Because of the realistic look of computer animation, an animator need to be aware of how far to push the motion. The motion should match the design of the character and the
world. Animating very cartoony motion with lots of squash and stretch on a realistic looking object may not look believable, as would realistic motion on a caricatured object.
This is the pitfall of using motion capture devices to create final animation. Motion capture from human actors will always look realistic… for a human. But apply that motion to a chicken and it will look like a human in a chicken suit. You can use the motion capture data as a starting place, tweak the timing and poses to make it more caricatured, then apply it to the chicken and the motion will match the design of the character.
Slow-In and Slow-Out
As action starts, we have more drawings near the starting pose, one or two in the middle, and more drawings near the next pose. Fewer drawings make the action faster and more drawings make the action slower. Slow-ins and slow-outs soften the action, making it more life-like. For a gag action, we may omit some slow-out or slow-ins for shock appeal or the surprise element. This will give more snap to the scene.
All actions, with few exceptions (such as the animation of a mechanical device), follow an arc or slightly circular path. This is especially true of the human figure and the action of animals. Arcs give animation a more natural action and better flow. Think of natural movements in the terms of a pendulum swinging. All arm movement, head turns and even eye movements are executed on an arcs.
Arcs are often simply done for you as an animator if you're working in 3D, but they're still important – problems in the motion of a character can be diagnosed by turning on visualization of each body part's motion path. Little hitches and pops will show up visually as knots in the motion path, and you should be able to clean up those keys pretty easily once you can actually see them.
Secondary Action
This action adds to and enriches the main action and adds more dimension to the character animation, supplementing and/or re-enforcing the main action. Example: A character is angrily walking toward another character. The walk is forceful, aggressive, and forward leaning. The leg action is just short of a stomping walk. The secondary action is a few strong gestures of the arms working with the walk. Also, the possibility of dialogue being delivered at the same time with tilts and turns of the head to accentuate the walk and dialogue, but not so much as to distract from the walk action. All of these actions should work together in support of one another. Think of the walk as the primary
action and arm swings, head bounce and all other actions of the body as secondary or supporting action.
Expertise in timing comes best with experience and personal experimentation, using the trial and error method in refining technique. The basics are: more drawings between poses slow and smooth the action. Fewer drawings make the action faster and crisper. A variety of slow and fast timing within a scene adds texture and interest to the movement. Most animation is done on twos (one drawing photographed on two frames of film) or on ones (one drawing photographed on each frame of film). Twos are used most of the time,
and ones are used during camera moves such as trucks, pans and occasionally for subtle and quick dialogue animation. Also, there is timing in the acting of a character to establish mood, emotion, and reaction to another character or to a situation. Studying movement of actors and performers on stage and in films is useful when animating
human or animal characters. This frame by frame examination of film footage will aid you in understanding timing for animation. This is a great way to learn from the others.
Exaggeration is not extreme distortion of a drawing or extremely broad, violent action all the time. It¹s like a caricature of facial features, expressions, poses, attitudes and actions. Action traced from live action film can be accurate, but stiff and mechanical. In feature animation, a character must move more broadly to look natural. The same
is true of facial expressions, but the action should not be as broad as in a short cartoon style. Exaggeration in a walk or an eye movement or even a head turn will give your film more appeal. Use good taste and common sense to keep from becoming too theatrical and excessively animated.
Solid Drawing
The basic principles of drawing form, weight, volume solidity and the illusion of three dimension apply to animation as it does to academic drawing. The way you draw cartoons, you draw in the classical sense, using pencil sketches and drawings for reproduction of life. You transform these into color and movement giving the characters the illusion of three-and four-dimensional life. Three dimensional is movement in space. The fourth dimension is movement in time.
I realize that "solid drawing" doesn't translate directly to computer animation. In traditional animation, the drawing is the whole of it, but in computer animation you're often given a prerigged model to work with, and you're limited to whatever that rig will do. It's up to you to get the best out of that rig (which may include giving the rigger some constructive feedback on ways to make the rig more usable).
To me, "solid drawing" means creating your forms and poses with confidence and by specific intent, and not just hitting your marks by accident. The concepts of good design still apply, even if you're not using a pencil to execute them. You can still create poses that tell a story and please the eye. Remember that if you make the audience work to figure out what the character is doing, you've already blown it. Everything has to be clear, clean and understandable in a split second. Every part of the character's pose has to make sense.
A live performer has charisma. An animated character has appeal. Appealing animation does not mean just being cute and cuddly. All characters have to have appeal whether they are heroic, villainous, comic or cute. Appeal, as you will use it, includes an easy to read design, clear drawing, and personality development that will capture and involve the audience¹s interest. Early cartoons were basically a series of gags strung together on a main theme. Over the years, the artists have learned that to produce a feature there was a need for story continuity, character development and a higher quality of artwork throughout the entire production. Like all forms of story telling, the feature has to appeal to the mind as well as to the eye.
Yes, but what is it?
The above paragraph comes more or less straight out of The Illusion of Life, but doesn't really explain what "appeal" means.
So what is it?
An appealing character is one that the audience finds engaging and intriguing, as well as easy to interpret and understand, and to which the audience can personally relate. This has to work on a number of levels. The more of these levels are addressed, the more appealing a character will be. The audience must be able to make sense of what they're looking at, while putting forth the least possible effort in order to do so.
The audience has a split second in each scene to size up everything the character or characters in it are doing, saying, thinking, feeling and planning, the context of the situation in which the character finds himself/herself/itself, and even what that character's basic personality traits are. Anything that obstructs this detracts from the appeal of any given character.
In the end, a character is appealing if it can fully engage the audience to the point where it can take in the character as an experience, instead of having to work to analyze what they're looking at. It is a seduction – the appealing character is made to be effortless to absorb and understand. An appealing character is the animator's gift to the audience.
"Appeal" does not mean "likeable". Villians and unpleasant characters can be appealing too – the same rules that make a positive or heroic characters appealing and interesting to the eye work for the negative or villainous ones.
Usually this won't be controlled by the animator in a three-D environment, but an appealing character will consist of smooth, clear, uncomplicated lines and motions. Angular, complex lines and motion are harder to absorb and interpret from a visual standpoint than smooth, uncluttered ones. By the same token, if a character's motion consists of smooth arcs, the various parts of the character's body will move in an easy to anticipate, viewer friendly manner that reduces the amount of work it takes to understand what that character is doing. Design, then, is as much about designing the characteristic motions as it is about the character's initial appearance.
Characters with unique phrasing or ways of moving will be more appealing, because the audience can quickly identify the character even if the character is in silhouette.
The human eye sees the outline of a shape first, and the detail within that outline afterwards. Action clearly seen from a character's silhouette will make the character and his actions easier to absorb and understand.
If a character's emotional state cannot be immediately read and understood by the audience – if one cannot tell by looking at the character precisely what he's thinking as he moves through the scene – the character loses appeal very quickly. The audience wants to know the character's state of mind. If you don't provide some strong clues, the emotional state cannot be resolved, and unless the character is understood to be an unthinking machine, the audience's interpretative process comes to a screeching halt.
What the character intends to do in a given scene must be understood. It doesn't have to be laid out all at once at the beginning of the scene, but the motivation of the character should be clear. It can be something simple, like "Run away from the giant boulder to avoid being crushed." or "Take the hand out of the open flame before the rest of the fingers burn off." At the other extreme, it can be some major plot point the character is thinking or scheming about, and what is likely to happen in the next two or three scenes after the current one. If the character does not have at least one clear motivation in a scene (it can have several), he ceases to be interesting and his appeal is greatly diminished.
Keep Going
You're not going to be an animator just by reading my regurgitation of the twelve principles of animation, but at least it gives you an idea of what animators think about when they do what they do, and what you should be thinking about. If you want to animate, then do it! Don't wait for somebody else to give you permission, or you'll be waiting all your life. If you need permission, then consider this your permission.
If you want to be something, then be it.

Pointwise: import from tecplot
is there any way to import tecplot grid file in pointwise or gridgen....
actually i have grid file generated by abaqus and i want it to open in pointwise.... i thought tecplot will help but still not successful.... any other suggesstion...
need kind guidance in this respect
Pointwise can import meshes from NASTRAN files so maybe you can export from ABAQUS to NASTRAN.
What type of mesh is it?
ABAQUS export nastran file in .bdf format but pointwise import .nas file.
the type of mesh is hex. but it can be tri also.... what i want is similar surface mesh for both abaqus and pointwise....
i have tried to read abaqus file in fluent and then export fluet file in .cas format. then i read the .cas file in icemcfd and created .cgns format for mesh. but when i import cgns (or other format like .wrl, .VRML etc) in pointwise it does not import the faces correctly....
any idea how to get this done!
Can ABAQUS export just the surface meshes to STL or VRML format?
One of the challenges will be the fact that Pointwise only likes mapped quads (i.e. structured grid). So if you give it a file containing hexes or quads that's an unstructured format (like NASTRAN) it may diagonalize the quads and import them as triangles.

Private (or independent) adoptions are done through adoption attorneys, and may or may not involve an adoption opportunity that is located and arranged by the attorney. If so, the "finding" function that the attorney performs will increase the cost. Click here for more information on private adoption costs.
In some states, private attorneys cannot be involved in the "finding" and "matching" phases of an adoption, but are limited to finalizing the legal part of the adoption in court once the match has taken place.
Private adoptions usually involve infants, but this is not always the case. If they involve non-infants or sibling groups, it will usually be before these children have been absorbed into the state foster care system, or before there is involvement by Child Protective Services.

Location: Application Technology Research2011 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
Objective 1: Investigate how droplet impact, retention, and evaporation are affected by target surface characteristics and pesticide formulation physical properties and establish a complex pesticide transfer function from fundamental research to new precision sprayer development. Objective 2: Develop computer control systems for laser-guided precision sprayers to accommodate various tree canopy characteristics.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
In cooperation with the ARS Application Technology Research Unit, Wooster, OH, perform the following: (1) determine evaporation time, spread factor and chemical residual pattern formation of droplets containing spray additives on horticultural leaves via sequential imaging under controlled conditions; (2) investigate influences of droplet size and velocity, spray formulation, and morphological surface of leaves on spray droplet impaction, retention and coverage to develop strategies for enhancing delivery to target areas; and (3) develop a precision air-assisted sprayer with multi-jet nozzles to reduce the amount of pesticides required by matching spray characteristics to specific types of nursery and fruit trees. A fast response, high resolution controller will be developed to control air velocity, spray application rate and number of jets required for each air jet nozzle. All these operations will occur as the sprayer moves past the tree, providing uniform spray coverage of the tree with minimum off-target loss beyond the tree row.
3. Progress Report
An intelligent air-assisted sprayer implementing a high speed laser scanning sensor (LIDAR) was developed to vary spray output of each individual nozzle to match target tree needs in real time. Each nozzle was coupled with a pulse width modulation (PWM) solenoid valve to achieve variable rates based on the occurrence and canopy characteristics of the target, such as height, width and foliage density as determined by LIDAR. A unique density algorithm was developed to calculate foliage density by mapping the surface roughness of the canopy during the spray application. A back pressure control unit was integrated into the system to minimize the pressure fluctuation due to frequent changes in nozzle flow rates. Delay time between the sensor detection of the canopy and the nozzle activation was determined with a high-speed video camera. Laboratory tests demonstrated that the design criteria of the experimental sprayer were acceptable for performing variable rate functions. The intelligent air-assisted sprayer with variable flow rate of individual nozzles was tested for ornamental nurseries and fruit trees. The sprayer was developed with a conventional air-assisted orchard sprayer by implementing a laser scanner to detect canopy characteristics, five-port air-assisted nozzles coupled with pulse width modulation (PWM) solenoid valves, and an automatic flow rate controller to minimize pressure fluctuation. Spray performances were compared for the new sprayer with the same sprayer without the intelligent control and a conventional air blast sprayer in an orchard at three different growing stages. Measurements were made for spray deposition and coverage inside canopies, losses on the ground and beyond target trees, and airborne drift downwind from the target trees. Compared to conventional sprayers, the variable-rate sprayer produced relatively uniform spray coverage and deposition inside canopies, and reduced spray volume by 47% to 73% with significantly less off-target losses on the ground, through gaps between trees, and in the air. This research addressed critical elements for the development of precision sprayer technology envisioned in the ARS parent project Objective 1 "Develop precision sprayers that can continuously match canopy characteristics to deliver agrichemicals and bio-products accurately to nursery and fruit crops". Cooperator's Designated Representatives directly worked with the Authorized departmental officer's designated representative to plan and execute the project. They met daily to discuss the project progress.

We are excited to launch our New Release, Flawless: Perfection has a Price, by Dawn M. Garcia!
A ghost, a vicious dog, and a handsome mystery man—how much can a girl take?
In this exciting Christian Romance, Paranormal Thriller, Kathryn Bradford is trying to do her best to raise her daughter in a world filled with evil and deception.
Her marriage is difficult. Her husband is angry, jealous, and possessive. He stalks her while he's alive, and he haunts her after he's dead–not only in her mind–well, at least she thinks the weirdness is all in her mind, but she's not sure. What should she think when a form resembling her dead husband materializes before her, wearing the same clothes she last saw him in when he stalked out the door?
She doesn't believe in ghosts.
Kathryn is haunted by her past failures. Her icy heart protects her and keeps her alone. One day, a mysterious, yet familiar man saves her from a vicious dog—one she dubs "Vampire Dog."
Her mystery man, Jared Williamson spins her world, even when she tries to stop the rotation.
Jared is handsome, strong, and protective towards Kathryn. Confused by the power in his touch and the sense of familiarity he sparks within her, Kathryn's heart begins to melt. As he breaks through her resistance, he triggers a release of memories, causing the secrets buried deep inside Kathryn's fragile mind to storm to the surface. Secrets she worked hard to hide forever taunt her, but Jared's secret may break her.
Layer by layer, the truth reveals itself.
Can Kathryn bear to know everything that happened in her past and how the mysterious stranger fits into her life?
When an old enemy threatens to steal everything Kathryn values and loves, Jared reminds her of the power inside her that time, trauma, and evil sources stole from her. She must decide: will she use the force within her to fight the biggest battle of her life or will she give in to the evil taunting her?
To win, she will gain freedom from the chains that bind her and win the man she loves—the man who is the key that unravels her past, restores her present, and defines her future.
To lose, it will cost her everything—including her destiny and her soul.

Bakugan: Neathia's Demise/Chapter 9, No Remorse is property of AceNegatov.
← Neathia's Demise 8 - A Dark Dream | Bakugan: Neathia's Demise/Chapter 9, No Remorse | Neathia's Demise 10 - Making Friends →
Soon enough, they had reached another Neathian city. Pieru and Linus were leading Ace into a small house. The streets were filled with sad Neathian faces. There were no signs of poverty or hunger, but it was clear a cloak of sadness covered this city.
They reached the small house, and in it was a boy with a red t-shirt and a dark red vest, organizing some sort of armor. Sitting on a table next to him was a man covered in red armor, tinkering with a hologram.
"The hell happened with these? There must have been some signal intercepting it or something."
"Hey Alex, hey Spartan. What's the situation?"
Alex looked up from organizing and smiled. "Hello. Everything's fine here, Spartan says there was a signal intercepting something. Who's that?"
"Ace." said Pieru. "He helped us out."
"There was a small skirmish. A squadron of Bakugan, no brawlers. I believe one of them was responsible for the intercepting."
"Where's the rest of your team?"
"They fought bravely."
"Oh....That's another team lost...Sigh..."
A deafening roar interuppted them as the ground shoke, and Ace grabbed on to the table. "What was that?"
They all rushed out to see a huge Aquos Mechtogan. It roared again, then said "Atlas activated." It had two cannons instead of a right arm. It rushed forward suddenly, water jets helping it move. It slammed it's fist onto a building.
Ace searched in his pocket, and was sadly suprised that he only found one Bakugan in it. He grimaced, then throw out Rune. His Haos Bakugan stood in a blinding flash. Next him a Pyrus golem like Bakugan was wrestling with Atlas. Kassu and Rubanoid were running towards them, and a Pyrus Lumagrowl howled.
The battling device spoke in it's robotic voice: "Sarge, Kassu, Rubanoid, GraceFire, Rune vs Atlas"
Atlas responded by brutally knocking Sarge away, then shooting Kassu and Rubanoid with it's cannons. It grabbed GraceFire with it's other hand.
"Ability Activate!" Ace raised a Haos Ability, which quickly turned into Pyrus, and Rune threw multiple fireballs at Atlas.
It didn't react much, but it looked at Rune and dropped GraceFire. It marched towards him, and Rune kept throwing fireballs with little effect.
Just as Atlas was close to Rune, he lurched forward violently. A Darkus Helix Dragonoid was behind him and had just kicked him. Atlas swinged at him, but he teleported away and then punched his back again. Rune took this opportunity to throw one more fireball, directly aimed at it's head.
Atlas roared in anger. It knocked the Dragonoid aside and shot at Rune. Rune teleported away to safety. Atlas turned around, looking at the Dragonoid who was stuck in the ground. Atlas slammed his right arm onto the Dragonoid, and it started glowing with Aquos energy as the cannon charged up.
Time seemed to slow down. A Darkus evolved Ingram teleported suddenly next to Atlas, and jumped high into the air like a Baku Sky Raider. She threw multiple daggers at Atlas, in a crack between his body and his neck, and then she cut it off completely using an axe. She then stabbed it through the chest with a dagger, then shot it with a small crossbow that was on her arm. She then vanished as quickly as that.
In a blink of an eye, Atlas was in pieces on the floor. The Dragonoid got up, trying to make sense of what happened.
Linus, Pieru, Alex and Spartan, their Bakugan and Rune were running towards them. "Hey! Everything OK?" They didn't see what just happened, only Ace and the mysterious Dragonoid saw.
"What happened to Atlas?"
The Dragonoid spoke up. "It got broken, didn't it?"
"Yeah, that. Er...Who are you?" Ace asked.
The Dragonoid sighed. "I go by many names. But you may call me Rager."

Okay, I thought this would be good since it's sooo expensive, but it doesn't really do anything! When I first attempted, it turned on unexpectedly, and it had a weird temperature pattern! Then when I woke up next morning, it was actually smaller, not by much... it was also really flaky. I decided to give it another shot, and all it did was irritate it! I just had to return it right away! Trust me, not worth the $40; probably not even worth $10. (If you do purchase, stock up on double A's, it uses ALOT of power!)

Newt having the reputation as being so intelligent, outsmarted himself! I wonder if he couldn't handle Ryan's plan being so well presented, that Newt may have been jealous? Thought Levin was very kind to Newt during the interview!
I do get the impression that Newt is jealous of Ryan.
Newt spent many years thinking about how to change health care. He may have thought that it would be his resurrection. Then Ryan gets all the attention because Ryan is in the game and Newt is in the audience.
I listened to the Mark Levin interview and he had a great point, "What the Hell are you talking about "We need a national conversation and shouldn't have the Ryan plan shoved down our throats." Newt had no good answer. It then occurred to me that the only one NOT in the conversation is Newt.

Rethinking regulation: international banks in Asian emerging markets
Financial systems in Asian emerging market economies are seen as resilient because of their performance during and after the 2008 crisis. But such assessments focus on the current status rather than the direction of evolution of those systems, many of which are being substantially liberalised. One consequence is the growing presence of foreign banks in these markets, invited on the grounds that they would enhance competition and induce domestic banking systems to adopt better technologies and practices. By contrast, it is here maintained that what they are likely to do is alter banking behaviour in ways that are inimical to growth and inclusion and increase instability.

The NYTimes Backs Me Up on Multitasking
Jay Parkhill October 24th, 2008
On the heels of my last post comes this article in the New York Times on how hard it is to effectively multitask.
Shortcuts – Multitasking Can Make You Lose … Um … Focus – NYTimes.com
My favorite line describes the infamous "email voice", when it is clear that the person on the other end of the phone line is actually focusing on his/her email.
Based on my own experience, the article is also dead-on when it says multitasking actually adds low levels of panic and stress. I certainly feel much more in control when I slow down and try to do only one thing at a time.
Now what was I doing before that article caught my attention?Tags: productivity, work habits

We traveled to Bath County, VA, in July for the Jazz and Blues Festival at Garth Newell Music Center. This has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth, the county, that is, with its hills, mountains and rushing brooks. The music center itself is also a wonderful facility, a former horse training barn. We've seen Rene Marie in concert probably 15 or 16 times, but this was by far my favorite. The warm, wooden facility is intimae and friendly with great accoustics, and Rene was right there among us. The prices are quite reasonable for classical and jazz, including the "house band," the Garth Newell .
The site also offers a gourmet restaurant and allows picnicking on the grounds. Despite it remote location and largely undeveloped areas, the county has a host of superb restaurants. The Warm Springs Inn is one example of superb food in a warm, windowed dining room.
If you go at certain times, be sure to take in the sheepdog trials.
