Welcome to C.A Org, its good to see you have decided to pick up art again, i think you show the basic potential to become a great artist which is...
TRYING! thats the secret haha. Overall your work shows some solid potential, so far i wont give you any crits except show us some more work and keep them baby's coming bro.
Hell, even throw in some graff too?
A warm Welcome to CA my friend, anyways... i think that's very nice for being your second attempt at digital drawing/painting, and that's great... the bamboo its ideal for starters so there's nothing wrong with that, post more so we can give more feedback..! and, again, Welcome to the forums
Thank you guys, for the nice words and warm welcome!
I actually have to give credit to all these great Tutorials here at CA, without them I couldn´t have made this pic
wow, for your first post. nais so far. just keep working ^.^and we'll see more, yeee!

Thank you very much Nianto!
Quick Linedrawing to loosen up a bit:
Practicing Human Anatomy:
Really great start to this sketchbook, these last anatomy practices come across as extremely confident and controlled. Keep it up!
Sketchbook | Website |
i think for your first experiments with ps, your work is really good!! my first digital paintings looked like a muddy bulb xD i like how you painted the materials in the first painting but the cape looks a bit akward to me. really solid anatomy stuff! keep it up!
Welcome to CA!
Don't worry, I started with a shitty TRUST tablet, which broke after several months of use. A bamboo is great and reliable tablet!
My advice is to do a couple of still life studies to learn and practice proper lightings. And studying human anatomy as well. So you get used to decent proportions on your own images!
Also, when you're painting illustrations or concepts, think about focal points. Right now I can't decide where to look first on your girl with the sword. At human drawings, the main focal point is the face and face alone. The rest are all secondary.
Anyways, keep on posting and practicing!
Thank you very much for the critique!
Well, yeah color and lightning really are giving me troubles...but hey I´m here to practice ^,..,^
Didn´t know about the faces focal point thing...really great advice!
very nice start, looking forward to more post!
5 min Lightstudy :
Welcome to CA!
Whenever you are drawing a standing figure, try to plant the feet on the ground plain, this with really help create a sense of perspective even for a quick sketch.

Quick Sketch, to loosen up for todays Drawingmarathon
Work in progress:
Would love some color suggestions and of course any critique is highly appreciated too =)
WIP_02: Still looking for some help...something in the composition just isn´t right...
WIP_03: well i figured the girl is what´s messing with the composition, wich is basically just a simple triangle - So, i dumped and replaced her with a ...wait for it.....BOOK ! haha
WIP_04: just discovered layer styles - so much fun!
Actually i wanted to finish my wip - but i´m kinda stuck. So, i tryed to relax my mind and scribbled around.
Well, guess until i find a solution i´mma be
Trollin :
Astonishing how the subconscious mind makes you create stuff that reflects the mindstate you are trying to achieve, when you´re not really thinking much about what you´re actually drawing.
Read your opening post. Keep pushing man! If you work hard you can improve your life.
Seen many people on here talking about Bridgman´s Books, so i looked for some images from him on the web:
First try at a landscape (took quite some time, but im really pleased with the result) :
Planning on putting a Knight or so in there (but that´s gotta wait for the weekend):
With the help from Istebrak (Thank you so much), I finally finished this piece!

Didn´t have much time to draw so that was a real relief:
Love the "Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill" post. Really dig the stylized line work.
Looking for a mentor
If you have a moment I would love any tips or critiques that might help me improve my work.
My sketchbook (please leave a critique)
SSG Group
This is a good start to a SB, and even just a few post I can see an improvement between the first and last pieces you've put up. Keep it up!
I loved the piece in #23 and #24, it shows great improvement and it's an awesome first try! I would prefer the earlier version though, because the background has more texture, which gives the piece more depth. I also like the color palette of the first better, but I guess that's just a personal preference.
And I noticed that you're characters look easy to push over. You should pay attention not to make their feet too small.
Keep it up, Ilook forward to more from you!

@Mr. Roques wrote "What does it take for companies to decide to migrate their old legacy system into a new, state of the art one?" -- That's easy; they don't. The most common approach I have seen is wrapping up the endpoints where the systems interconnect, and having the communications happen via messaging. So instead of system A inserting into a database table and SQL B clearing it out, we use messages. Then, eventually, if you need to replace system A you can do it without impacting system B. (Sometimes this requires a little bit of refactoring, creating seams, etc). In my experience, you are right that failures and crisis is what forces the rewrite -- when you simple can not hire the COBOL programmers, or you realize that your RPG application is too resistant to change to allow your company to do what it needs to do when you need to do it. Royal Caribbean is in the middle of a process something like that right now - I think there management is the good guys, and they are well ahead of the crisis - http://www.cio.com/article/725114/How_Royal_Caribbean_Cruises_Manages_IT_on_a_Floating_City -
I understand that's an API that allows you to build your own message queue into an application.
But the topology is similar to what is being implemented in sendmail:
But really I bring this up because while it may sound absurd to build your messaging/queing application around an independent server, that is one of the designs that has long been part of the Windows WCF (Communications Foundation).
Microsoft has long has message queues for SQL server -- for the data purposes you describe. But also a IIS server can have MSMQ's added and integrate these into your .NET app. Now, having to run a IIS server (like running a sendmail server) on each and every workstation might sound cumbersome, but it's not unthinkable in a corporate environment (and in fact, the standard for most Linux distros is to install sendmail as both a local mail queue, and as a potential messaging/queuing utitlity!)
Windows Communication Foundation to Message Queuing
@jballo - Thank you for the comment. Actually, when it comes to messaging, I'm referring to tools like RabbitMQ. That's a programming API as simple as Drop_file(filename); for the sender and get_me_a_file(inout text) on the receiver. You can use whatever format you want. In fact, some of my clients that used to 'just' drop a file on a server and use a polling process replaced the drop/pickup with message queues using the exact same files! No muss, no fuss, no XML! :-)
Yes, message queing has been around since email in grand old products like Sendmail. In fact, sendmail is a Turing machine, did you know? Bonus points if you did.
But one thing Sendmail is also is a messaging mechanism with queues for both real time, and asynchonous, transfer of information...emails.
Now what SOA technologies like web services and WCF do is add messaging protocols for standardization like SOAP. SOAP is one of those good ideas, but it gets sticky when you start to deal with complex datatypes and objects. Initially you think it's all <lastname></lastname><firstname></firstname> stuff, but then it gets hairier!
JSON makes it less complicated and lighter but at the expense of less rigid syntax and hence greater capacity for error.
Part of the problem may be, is that many protocols were developed for human to machine communication. XML for example, has as a design point to be "human readable". For machine to machine, you may ask...why bother! For efficiency it would probably be something completely incomprehensible to a human but really fast, or even more complicated than a human could understand. Why not. That's why we pay big bucks for machines, right?
I alluded to this divergence some time ago...
Wired 1.3: Making the Machine Invisible
What does it take for companies to decide to migrate their old legacy system into a new, state of the art one?
I'm guessing they are trying to suck every little life is left of them but they should also consider the wasted time, not only due to failures but probably slower response times.
It's important to have the abilities to identify system outages and respond to them quickly, as well as take systems down proactively without threatening the entire enterprise.
Good thoughts.The Cost and efficiency challenges faced in maintaining legacy systems increase as the systems age. Read a whitepaper about this very topic "Y2k 12 Integrating next generation technology to transform your business" it offers good information on upgrading from legacy systems and integrating new technology.Readers will find it interesting @ bit.ly/S8p1W4

The Marx Brothers have never been as good as some other great comedy
teams, be it the verbal brilliance of Abbott & Costello, the pathos laden antics of
Laurel & Hardy, nor the violent slapstick of The Three Stooges. The reason is because
the teams success or failure basically falls all on the shoulders of its lone truly
brilliant member, Groucho Marx. The first film to feature the zany antics of the brothers
was the 1929 talkie film of their 1926 Broadway comedy hit, The Cocoanuts. They did, however, self-finance an
earlier silent film called Humorisk, which
was a critical disaster, in its lone showing, and of which no known copies seem to exist.
In a sense, the heart of the brothers act in all their films is not when the three
(or four, including the forgettable Zeppo, who plays a hotel desk clerk in this outing)
brothers interact, but when Groucho interacts with anyone in the film, most especially the
sublimely stolid Margaret Dumont.
Its not that the other brothers are not without talents, but they
are simple old time vaudevillians who, sans their genius brother, would have been minor
role players in film. Gummo, who never appeared in a single film, wisely chose a behind
the scenes role; Zeppo retired after the teams fifth film, Duck Soup, never had an ounce of comic heft;
Chico was a generic ethnic humorist who, without the team would never have lasted (even
his piano playing is crude and uninspiring); and Harpo, despite his mimetic brilliance,
and often soulful harpsichording, was simply a one trick pony with many antecedents.
Groucho, the character, was without antecedent or descendent. Is it any wonder that the
only one of the brothers to trot out a second act in
In short, he is the Marx
Brothers and they are Groucho, Groucho, Groucho (and Groucho, in the first five films).
This can be seen from the very first through last scene of The Cocoanuts. The hour and a half long film,
directed by Robert Florey and Joseph Santley, from the George S. Kaufman play, adapted by
Morrie Ryskind, and scored by Irving Berlin, is often derogated in comparison to later
classics like the aforementioned Duck Soup,
A Day At The Races, or A Night At The Opera, but despite all the waxing
over those later films, The Cocoanuts is
quintessential Marxist humor. Just as all of the other great comedy teams merely played
slight variations of their personae, so do the Marxes in this and later films, which, to a
degree, can be seen as one long running gag show, punctuated with silly plot asides, like
the films stolen necklace and wan musical interludes. Yet, The Cocoanuts
kicked off the whole Marx schtick, even if it is rough, and at times there are snippets of
stray dialogue that was not supposed to be in the plot, or one of the boys looking at the
wrong camera, or other actors deliberately speaking into hidden microphones, or extras who
mug for the camera, but it is still chock with some classic gags and lines.
The DVD, part of The Marx Brothers
Silver Screen Edition from Universal Pictures, is in horrendous shape. Released
only a couple of years ago, the studio should hang its head in shame, especially
considering the fact that far less well-financed DVD companies like The Criterion Collection and Anchor Bay have set a high standard, by doing
pristine releases of obscure films with far less resources, including having worthwhile
extras. Parts of The Cocoanuts are manifestly culled from inferior reels, with blurred
images and no tonality, and atrocious sound quality, and even those parts of the film from
better reels are laden with dust and scratches. There are twenty year old VHS tapes in
better condition, and Universal should be condemned for a) not using computer technology
to refurbish the print and b) having only a few paltry extras on a 6th disk for
this set. Its artistically criminal that such a milestone film should not have a
film critic nor historian of note commenting on the film and the gags.
Groucho plays Mr. Hammer, the shady proprietor of a failing
Groucho: Now here is a
little peninsula, and here is a viaduct leading over to the mainland.
Groucho: You try and cross over there on a
chicken and youll find out why a
include Groucho giving a history lesson:
You all know who
Groucho always gets the best lines, and does
the most with them. His scene of professed love to Margaret Dumont, where he swoons over
coming home from a hard days work to her as a waiting wife, of course, gives way to
a revision with him as the waiting husband with her coming home from work. Only Groucho
could have pulled off such a scene without turning off the audience, and his likeability
as a cad is what propelled the film to great heights, critically and financially, and made
the brothers stars, whereas most of the routines where Harpo and Chico play off of each
other is time worn schtick that isnt even up to the typical gags the Three Stooges
The Cocoanuts is a crude but
effective comedy, but without Groucho, it would have been long forgotten. The third or
more of the film that is wholly dependent upon his presence is the film's backbone, and
clearly all the boys later producers recognized this fact, if not in the boys
salaries, certainly in screen time and billing, for Groucho Marx was the Marx Brothers.
The others were merely his foils and the props that Groucho used to climb to superstardom.
To deny that reality is to miss out on why the Marx Brothers are still relevant, for it is
Grouchos sexual innuendoes and political jabbery that still appeal to viewers today,
long after Harpos inane mugging and Chicos now often cringe-inducing ethnic
humor has fallen to disrepute. Fortunately, The
Cocoanuts highlighted the right brother, and the world of film comedy has had
no reason to cringe since.

Wow, it's already February! It's hard to believe winter is half over, especially since it's hardly snowed yet and the high today is going to be 53! Well, before we push on into this new month, lets take a quick recap of January…via some fun numbers & pictures:
0 – Household Pets. We shared that our bunny, Tiestp, found a new home. Sa, yes, but he now gets much more attention and exercise.
1 – Number of foods Avery has tried. Avery got his first taste of rice cereal at 4-months old. He still eats formula at every feeding, but at night before his last bottle, we have fun making a mess eating some cereal!
2 – Date nights. Thanks to our awesome friends, we were able to steal away two nights for dinner and a celtics game! As new parents, we hardly have any time just the two of us, so these nights are really special! (We suggest other couples do this too in What to Expect: the First Few Months)
3.91 – My GPA for my Masters - Yep, that's right, as of January 28th, I officially graduated with my Masters! I didn't 'walk' because there wasn't a January ceremony, so we had one at home (pictures coming soon!)
4 – Loads of laundry a week. In January, we got a schedule started and Saturdays are laundy days. See Avery help!
6 – Doctors visits. Avery had a rough month. We were in and out of the doctors office for a cold, ear infection, pnemonia, & thrush..
9 – Hours Avery sleeps a night. This month, Avery started sleeping thru the night.
16 1/2 – Guests that came to our Open House. (the half is for the 4-year old Avery befriended) We finally hosted a house warming party and ur Luau theme was a hit! (pictures to come)
17 -Days Avery was in daycare. I went back to work at the start of the new year so Avery spends the day with his little friends. See how Avery (and Mommy) did on Avery's first day.
24 – Number of blog posts in January. Did you miss some? Check here.
27 Holiday cards. We had a few stragglers come in after the new year which filled our display around the dining room pillars.
32 – Candles. We celebrated Vinay's 32nd birthday with morning cuddling, cake and presents, and an ode to Vinay!
48 – Average blog visits per day! Thanks for reading!
139 – Comments our spam catcher filtered this month alone.
206 – Hits on our site on Vinay's Birthday (a record high!)
1,476 Site visits in January! Yay! Will we have more in February?!…we will see….

Brazilian Charm at its Best
The good news is that things were worked out with the condomínio and we didn't have to pay anything extra (just a fine for paying the oldest bill late, but I figured it was easier to just pay the fine than to keep fighting to prove that the bill must have come before we moved in, just to save a few reais). I solved the problem by calling different people at different offices until I talked to someone who was halfway intelligent. (This was Ray's tip; it works like a charm!)
As for my visa, it turns out the first person who told me my application had been lost or never received was wrong, and after talking to two other people in different departments, I learned that everything is A-OK and on track. (I'm going to go with 2 out of 3 in this situation.) I had to go to the policia federal (where the immigration office is) here in Springfiledee and turn in a couple of things, but it was pretty painless. I hope I don't jinx myself by saying this, but it seems like I should have my RNE (permanent residency card) by the end of the year. Phew! ::Crosses Fingers::
I also solved some other problems by using www.reclameaqui.com.br. It's a great website where you can post complaints about companies. I think the people who run the site call the company and inform them of your complaint. I got a phone call from the company I complained about (NET), and they helped solve my problem! Amazing. If nothing else, there's a certain relief that comes from typing out your rant for a public audience (ahem, not all that different from blogging).
So my lesson of the week was that, in this country, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, too; you just have to be extra, extra squeaky, and you have to squeak in front of lots of different people in order to find someone willing to grease you up. hahaha.
OK so now that I've given you all that update, I wanted to tell you a funny story about Brazilian Charm. If any of you are in any doubt as to how Alexandre was able to woo me into moving to Brazil with him after such a short trip to the US, this story may help to clarify things.
Yesterday, we were on our way to the in-laws' house for traditional Brazilian Sunday lunch. The military police had set up a random checkpoint on the highway, and we got pulled over. No big deal -- Alexandre was driving (not me with my questionable use of my California license), and everything's in order with the car.
Of course, the police start out by being stern douches in order to intimidate anyone who may be doing something illegal. Alexandre has a shield that deflects douchey-ness. Nothing fazes him. He was sweet as pie with the police officer, using lots of "yes sir"s and "of course, sir"s.
Alexandre also has a technique that he uses any time he needs to talk to (read: please) someone who works with law enforcement: he finds an excuse to mention that he's a doctor, and he also finds a way to work his military service into the conversation. (Since the highway patrol and some police officers in Brazil are military, police officers and the army are bros, comrades, kindred spirits.) Then, the law enforcement person (whether it be a cop pulling him over, like in this case, or a patient with a chip on his shoulder, or an indifferent drone at the policia federal office) suddenly feels a new affinity for Alexandre. They seem to think, "hey! He's a doctor, so he must be serious and established and a good guy, but he was in the army, so he's "rustic" and down to earth, like me! Wow!" Then they become a little less douchey.
Anyway, this technique worked like...well, like a charm on this officer. The officer started telling Alexandre all about his life (while we're still pulled over on the side of the road, mind you), told him how his daughter wanted to study medicine but couldn't decide between ophthalmology and pediatrics, how he'd just moved to Springfieldee for work but he left his family in his hometown and only got to see them on weekends, etc. Alexandre said nothing about the fact that it was a little bit inappropriate for the cop to pull him over and proceed to make 10 minutes of small talk. Instead, Alexandre listened intently and was friendly and made appropriate, empathetic comments. The cop even went into a rant of sorts about how he hates that cops get a bad rap for being corrupt, about how civilians are just as corrupt for offering bribes, and how many cops do their jobs because the like it, not because they need it; how he himself had gotten a degree in engineering but decided to serve his community instead, and how he himself had turned down numerous bribes.
By the end of the conversation, the cop seriously said, "OK, your registration checks out and everything, don't worry. I work over at such and such precinct; feel free to stop by for coffee sometime!"
So the exchange started with "License and registration!" and ended with "Stop by my work for coffee sometime"!?!!? What the heck happened?!!?
Brazilian charm, that's what.
I don't know how Alexandre does it. But he is like a freaking Indian with a recorder, and all of us are nothing more than little snakes, helpless to his wiles and affections.

Ha! LOL!
Springfielgee!!! I am still rolling around laughing hard!!! :)
Yeap, Alex is the ultimate Brazilian, the smart kind, the expert in Brazil kind! Someone you always wanna have around you while in Brazil... ;)
Good to hear the good'ol strategy to call back and try better luck with someone else is working for you...
You are too becoming a Brazil expert, you know too much already, can't be called a beginner anymore... ;)
Baby steps, baby steps!!!
RayHehehe... loved it! Such a funny, positive and, let's say, "homy tale" to share. Thank you. You know what, Danielle, realizing certain things about the Brazilian culture the way you just do, whether talking about Alexandre's Brazilian charm or about those small, nitty-gritty annoyances - that, by the way, collectively COULD stall or injure the process of cultural integration - shows how much of a Brazilian you're becoming to be, maybe without even realizing it. I suspect that you're not JUST an American anymore - and I think it's GREAT! Maybe, one day, when you're back to the States, you'll see it all even in brighter colors ;)
I wish you both all the best.
GilAWESOME! This is the best.
I swear that a little ass kissing and a few genuine smiles gets you so far. It seems like Alexandre thinks the same!
I think you should make friends with this guy, take him up on the coffee, and you'll never be in trouble with the law--ever! Get out of jail free card all the time!
Well, just don't do anything stupid (which I know you won't.)
Just my idea!
AlexHey Kristin,
I put "rustic" in scare quotes as a joke about the Portuguese word "rúsitco", which military people and police officers use as slang to describe themselves. In Portuguese, "rústico" means like wise/tough/street smart/down-to-earth/a little big jaded because of their challenges in military life. :)I think every Brazilian knows how to do this. My husband does the "yes sir no sir-what's your name-how's your family" talk frequently. It happens with police officers, hotel owners, government clerks etc. anyone who in that situation is responsible for something good or bad happening to you. I hate it. It drives me insane. I see it like sucking up, humbling yourself by indicating that the other person is worth more than you are. I feel like it's a cultural difference, because I would never talk like that to a police officer or a government clerk. I'm polite as always, but if there's something that's not right, I'll question that instead of sucking up. And my husband knows this, which is why I'm not allowed to speak to these people anymore. Hate it.
ReplyDeleteHi, Hanna
If it is true that "every Brazilian know how to do this", than you should know that it works "like a charm" here in the U.S. as well. Being a Brazilian myself, and after 15 years living in this country, I can say it out loud. And, I feel the same way you do here in the U.S. when you say "it happens with police officers, hotel owners, government clerks etc. anyone who in that situation is responsible for something good or bad happening to you". I really do not see any difference between the two countries on this respect, and, yes, that sucks! Only God knows how many times we've gotten someone less than willing to hear us until we start with our "sucking up" strategy. I think this matter has to do more with ordinary human beings than solely Brazilians.I think this is a big Brazilian trait. I view it as part of the "jeitinho brasileiro". The best way to get out of anything is to find a common friend, family memeber, or even common place. I see my husband do this all the time. In Brazil, he always knows somebody's friend or family member, so he's always able to establish some sort of common identity. It's actually pretty impressive to watch, haha!
ReplyDeleteGil :D. You're probably right, I'm living currently in Spain and the attitude is definitely the same here, it's just a very striking contrast to Finland where I'm from, where no one would think of doing that (because it wouldn't change a thing and there shouldn't be any reason to suck up to anyone in the first place) :D.
ReplyDeleteReplieshaha I know exactly what you mean, because you sound like my girlfriend verbatim. I am Brazilian, and getting what i want and/or out of trouble is easy. she HATES that I 'suck up' to people who don't necessarily deserve it, but I definitely don't see it as humbling myself. I see it as outsmarting everyone else! in fact, I hate suck-ups. anyways, i didnt even grow up in brazil, but it must be in my blood. my mom is a loud-mouthed, manipulating, scandalous, typical die-hard Carioca. I hope my girlfriend (and future wife-- I know it!) understand this one day..
In West Texas it's so lonely out there the only conversation a Trooper gets to have with someone is when he pulls them over for speeding. ;-)
ReplyDeletelol i loved both the squeaky wheel and little snakes imagery. now i pictures a bunch of cute baby snakes all with your face swirling around a basket, with alex sitting behind it wearing a turban and playing a flute, and a bunch of tiny squeaky mice (also with your faces) all slimy and covered in oil and happily jumping around. it's pretty fantastic and i'm not even drunk!

Top Teachers: Lourie Sledd
Freeman H.S., exceptional education
Lourie Sledd feels fortunate to be among a group of special exceptional education teachers in Henrico County. But the parents of the students she's taught feel fortunate that she's been looking out for their children. Sledd has spent her entire teaching career – more than two decades – in Henrico. She was inspired to work with intellectually disabled students by her sister, who taught such students in Henrico and Richmond before becoming a guidance counselor at Cosby High School in Chesterfield, where she works today. Sledd landed at Freeman when it began its full-time program for intellectually disabled students 10 years ago. Students in the program suffer from a range of disabilities, so she works to find ways to reach each one effectively. The program combines core academics with vocational and life skills. Some of her students also take mainstream elective courses at the school. "Without Lourie's leadership," one nominator wrote, "the students in her class would be very isolated. Instead, they are part of the fabric of Freeman -- young people who attend plays, football games, talent shows; young people who have jobs all over the school and in the community; young people who have the opportunity to make connections with their peers and teachers all day long." That, according to Sledd, is her goal every day. "My kids, I just see them every day walking through the door, and I think about the obstacles they must face before they walk through that door," Sledd said. "Their bravery, all the challenges they face just keep me going." But she's adamant that what she does is no more significant that what dozens of others of teachers in the county do. "I am only one of 100 exceptional ed teachers who should get this [recognition], and I really mean this," she said. "I know many special ed teachers who work late every day and then work all weekend." Sledd helped create the Career Pathways Club at Freeman, a program that allows mainstream and disabled students to work side by side selling spirit items in school and at sporting events while developing real-world business skills at the same time. She also is heavily invested in the all-star basketball league, which matches teams of disabled students from county high schools against each other in weekly basketball games. To Sledd, the most visible change during her time as an educator has been the way that mainstream students have accepted and welcomed special education students into their lives. At Freeman, one of her students even was crowned homecoming king. "That's what they want more than anything, is friends," Sledd said. "They're just part of the gang now." Students with certain intellectual disabilities are permitted to stay in high school until the age of 22. As a result, Sledd has taught some students for as long as seven years. She considers the best part of her job to be the realization that she's helped her students thrive in school – and in life. "They come in as immature teenagers and leave as young adults," she said. "It's very fulfilling knowing that you helped them along the way. Many of them will get jobs, be productive citizens and hopefully lead happy lives. Being part of that is very special. "They're just amazing kids. I get strength from them." |

Looming Budget Cuts Make Hospital Belt-Tightening Increasingly Difficult
The economy might be on the rebound, but the nation's hospitals should still brace for the possibility of $360 billion in cuts in Medicaid, Medicare, and other federally funded healthcare programs and services over the next decade.
Moody's Investors Service said in a credit outlook that the ongoing reductions in federal funding for healthcare in the fiscal 2013 budget and beyond could make it disproportionately more difficult and more expensive to borrow money for hospitals that rely on Medicare.
"If adopted, the cuts would reduce reimbursement to hospitals, forcing these institutions to continue finding additional expense savings or new sources of revenue to avoid the credit negative deterioration of their profit margins," Moody's said in a budget analysis.
"Most hospitals have been adjusting to negative credit trends since 2008, and many have improved their quality and efficiency substantially. But past operating savings reflect harvesting 'low-hanging fruit,' while future savings will be harder to achieve and will require more wrenching change."
Medicare rate increase reductions installed under the healthcare reforms will enter their third year when the fiscal 2013 budget takes effect in October. Over the next decade, Moody's says, about $268 billion in Medicare reductions could adversely impact funding for critical access hospitals, graduate medical education, and bad debt relief.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
ANTHONY WUNSH (3/11/2012 at 10:38 AM)
The area they can have the most impact on to reduce these potential challenges is revenue cycle. There is billions in wasted costs, and hundreds of billions in uncollected dollars. Slow pay and no pay by both patients and insurance and government is an epidemic and can not be sustained. I have been preaching for three years, we need to impact what we have control over and the processes used to manage revenue cycle are out dated, inefficient and broken, They were never designed to handle 31% patient responsibility or the additional mandates in audit, meaningful use and technology. WE lose in wasted cost or lost revenue over 800 billion dollars a year now, imagine this impact on the cost of care delivery. Also in charitable care the cost to process and time to process these patients is so cumbersome that more than 80% never get processed and these dollars are just written off.

Year: 2011
Country: CZECH REPUBLIC
Run Time: 94 minutes
From the late Václav Havel comes LEAVING, the first and last film endeavor of the eccentric and revolutionary president of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic from 1989 to 2003. A celebrated poet, playwright, and politician, Havel turned his first play in over 20 years into this tragicomedic feature film. Though Havel claimed the story not to be autobiographical, it follows the womanizing yet good leader of an unspecified country who steps down after years in power. A bittersweet comedy, LEAVING takes place on the veranda of Vilém Riegerova's mansion—the government-owned home he must leave as his political reign comes to an end. With his long-term companion Irena loyally by his side, Vilém entertains guest, after guest, after tabloid reporter and gloating competitor. With a slew of ludicrous characters and a script chockfull of playful nonsense, Havel's film is a delicate balance between parody and a deep look at the pressures of a former president's personal life. (In Czech with subtitles) M.M.

I reset my router , was in set up so i added SSID name , password, Now when i log into set up page it says it requires a name and password. I put in my name and password and NOTHING.
Leave username blank and use admin as password.
Leave the username blank, as others have advised.
However, every hacker on the planet knows that "admin" is the default password for Linksys routers (as well as for many, if not all, others). So change the password to have at least seven characters, and make one or more of them Upper Case and make one or more others a digit (0, 1, 2 ... 9). Then write it down in a couple of places where you will remember to find it if you forget what it is. For example, I printed the User Manual, and I've written the password on the back side of the front cover page.

Richard804, were you responding to Goldboy, or to me?
Goldboy didn't say which router he was attempting to configure. I have read the (original) User Guide for the WRT54G v. 5 NAT router -- parts of it more than once. It does not contain any recommendations with regard to either the "user name" or the password that appear on the log-in dialog, but it does mention in the Basic Setup section that the password can be changed via the Management tab.
Goldboy also states that he specified a "SSID". An SSID is required for using the wireless network features of the WRT54G, but there is no entry to specify a password in conjunction with the SSID.
Although I've looked carefully, there is no entry in that manual which offers a way to specify a "user name" for the log-in dialog. And while configuring the router, I don't recall finding any field on any tab that would probably be used to do that. It seems to have been overlooked either by the people who created the firmware or by the people who wrote the manual, or by both.
My recommendation about the password should be common knowledge and routine practice. I have learned from hard experience what can happen when a router's default password is left unchanged, aside from whether another password chosen for use might not be particularly difficult to discover.
Personally, I really have to wonder why people who are supposed to be expert advisors, in this forum for Linksys customers, often recommend leaving, or setting, the password to the default "admin". What are they thinking? Or _are_ they thinking?
They also often recommend using WEP for encryption when everyone knows that it is fundamentally flawed and can be easily broken. Granted, there are obsolete devices still in use that have only WEP for encryption, but no one mentions that as the context for using WEP. People should be advised to use WPA2 with AES (not with TKIP) with a very long random key, and to use WEP when, and_only_when, there is no alternative, not as a matter of course.
If you don't already do so, then please subscribe to the Security Now! podcast by Leo LaPorte and Steve Gibson, and listen to it every week. Download the past episodes about passwords, which were among the first ten episodes that were podcast. Security Now! can be very useful and informative, especially regarding the use of cryptography to secure computer systems.

I presumed Goldboy could not login to is router after he resetted it.
Stardance I agree with you that everybody should change their passwords and secure their wireless. I have setup my own password the day I installed my router last January.
Richard804, I see what you mean. After re-reading Goldboy's post for at least the tenth time (it can be interpreted at least two different ways), it seems to me that he (1) reset the router, (2) ran configuration setup, (3) specified a SSID via the Wireless tab, and a new password via the Management tab, then (4) exited and subsequently tried to use the SSID as the user name for the log-in dialog. .... That fourth step won't work regardless of the password. :-) TTYL

[quote="Monte Williams wrote:General history questions here, 'cause I'm curious:
Who began Joe*Battlelines?
That would be Brian Savage Peterson, who used to be the military consultant on the comic when DDP relaunched it. The site was SgtSavage.com back then and remained that way up until Hasbro opted not to renew the copyright.
A short history of the site can be found here:
http://www.joebattlelines.com/forums/vi ... php?t=8829
How long has it been active?
Pretty much since 2000 when Sarge, Drew and a few others left DDP. It's been under the JBL moniker since about Fall 2003.
How many people are considered "in charge" of the site now?
I'm the owner and senior admin. I asked Justin to function first as a mod and then as a co-admin to help out with various aspects of the site. Technically he's my "right hand" (the one I don't wash) and partner-in-crime in the site now. I've also got the mod staff who help keep an eye on things and serve as a "board of directors" whenever there are big decisions to make.
How closely connected are the founders, if at all, to Hasbro?
Pretty much not at all.
What are the daily requirements of running the site?
It all depends. I pretty much peruse the forums as often as I can (which with my current job means once I'm home each day.) It also takes time to write reviews/interviews/features and shoot the plethora of photographs you see here. For every picture you see here I probably shoot 10 more that you don't see. It's a labor of love so it doesn't always "feel" like work but there are times when I'd like to take some time off. I also compile the Daily News which takes up to 2.5 hours a night to search all of the Joe sites/forums/web and compile a list of what's new in the community/fandom each day.
What's the most satisfying aspect of running the site?
Reading that people find this site and forums useful and helpful. That's really what JBL is all about-- creating a useful resource/forum for GIJoe fans to use as well as a place to come together and talk about this property we all love so much.
What's the most difficult aspect?
This all depends upon which day you ask me. At times, it's a bit frustating to find out that a lot of folks don't know the site exists. At other times, it's knowing that a lot of work will go into something behind the scenes that no one will ever know about-- such as upgrades, site overhauls, etc. This site is pretty much a labor of love-- there are no perks from Hasbro, GIJoe Collector's Club, or pretty much anyone else but that's not why JBL exists in the first place.
I'm just really interested in this place since it has practically become my home page these past few months.
See, it's comments like this that make it all worthwhile. Glad you find the site useful and that you've chosen to hang your hat here!
No, thank you for contributing to the community and by just stopping by each day!

Well, I had far too much fun at Banana Jam Café last night. Things went from good to better when fabulous owner and Craft Beer Project mastermind Greg Casey pulled out the soft and caramelly Clarens Red from the back and then, in a fit of joyous abandon, decided to mix Red Bull and Devil's Peak Woodhead Amber Ale on the suggestion that "it's apparently a big thing in Germany". Ah, to be the owner of a restaurant with an endless supply of craft. (It was actually quite nice, to tell the truth, but don't let anybody else hear that.)
Other highlights included cheesy jalapeños, potent cocktails – dubbed "bitch pops" by the girls – and me strutting around in my dad's denim shirt, shouting "JUICE SPRINGSTEEN" over and over and over. Post-drinking events included attempting to speak Welsh and singing Craig David's "What's Yo Flava" a capella in the car home.
God, I love this place. You should really go.

401K Replaced by Democrat Government Run Accounts? GOP Plan Would Help Rebuild Americans' Savings
Some in Washington are proposing to wipe out 401(k)s entirely, replacing them with government-run accounts that put bureaucrats – instead of families – in charge of Americans' savings. House Republicans are committed to preserving 401(k)s – and just as importantly, preserving workers' ability to make their own decisions about their retirement savings. The Savings Recovery Act reflects this important principle.

The EPA, Navajo Nation, other federal agencies, and organization will be having a meeting on April 16-17 in order to address the uranium contamination on the Navajo Nation.
During the fifth annual workshop for the Navajo Nation's uranium contamination, the attending agencies, organizations, and members will be discussing the cleanup progress of the area since its 5-year plan first kicked off. The meeting will also discuss the next five-year plan. The contaminated areas are in three states, which is about the size of West Virginia.
The EPA, Department of Energy, Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Indian Health Service, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are the federal agencies that will be attending the workshop. The event will kick off at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 16 at the Gallup Inn in Gallup, NM.

This Nuthouse Chardonnay made from Dijon clone fruit grown primarily at a low elevation vineyard on a Dundee Hill southern slope, ensures big fruit ripeness even in cooler vintages. The aroma is of melon fruit while the flavor is unctuous, viscous and of very sweet fruit. The finish is huge and long, of fruit and vanilla bean.
Twenty-five years ago, Argyle began making wine in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Since 1987, winemaker Rollin Soles and viticulturist Allen Holstein have teamed up to produce world-class method champenoise sparkling wines, barrel-fermented Chardonnay, and silky-textured Pinor Noir from low-yielding vines that are winery farmed on some of the best hillside slopes and elevations. ...Read More About Argyle

You'd think the last thing on your mind when you have a migraine would be sex, but you might want to rethink that. New research shows that sex might cure migraines. According to the report, one in five migraine sufferers were completely cured after getting busy, while more than half said they at least felt much better. One reason scientists think sex helps is because doing the deed triggers the release of endorphins, which are our bodies' natural painkillers. But, there's also an area of the brain that's responsible for both extreme head pain and orgasms, researchers say, which could play a role as well.

Source Begins Ground Magnetic Geophysical Survey at Las Minas
Source Exploration Corp is a Canadian based exploration and development company exploring for gold, silver and copper in historical mining districts in Mexico. Source's Las Minas project is located in the state of Veracruz.
The Las Minas project is located approximately 270 kilometres east of Mexico City and is accessible by road. The project is comprised of six mineral concessions covering approximately 1,616 hectares in the heart of the Las Minas district in the State of Veracruz, Mexico. The district is host to one of the largest under explored gold copper skarn systems known in Mexico, and has a strong production history that dates back to the Aztec era. Since 1870, the area has seen over 20 active mines. The district is highly prospective for both bulk tonnage gold - copper skarn deposits and high grade gold - silver epithermal vein deposits.
The Company has made several discoveries at the Las Minas project and outlined gold- silver and copper mineralization in a skarn zone with a strike length in excess of 700 metres. Highlights from drilling carried out in late 2011 include and reported in a Press release dated January 26, 2012 include:
LM-11-LL-40 grading 14.94 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au), 4.02 g/t silver (Ag) and 0.52% copper (Cu) over 3.65 metres (m); including 27.05 g/t Au, 6.80 g/t Ag and 0.91 % Cu over 2.0 m
LM-11- SC-44 grading 1.27 g/t Au, 4.23 g/t Ag, 0.38 % Cu over 24.0 m
LM-11- SC-45 grading 15.89 g/t Au, 12.98 g/t Ag and 2.25 % Cu over 10.0 m; including 37.26 g/t Au, 25.4 g/t Ag and 4.05 % Cu over 4.0 m
LM-11-SC-49 grading 1.08 g/t Au, 3.05 g/t Ag and 0.42 % Cu over 42.0 m
LM-11-SC-50 grading 0.75 g/t Au, 3.31 g/t Ag and 0.40 % Cu over 90.6 m; including 2.06 g/t Au, 8.62 g/t Ag and 1.04 % Cu over 24.0 m
Source's team is a highly successful group with extensive expertise in exploration, corporate finance, mine development and operations in Mexico, North America and off shore.

A series of updates are available for Enterprise Library and Unity and a few other bits of general interest
There is an update for the Enterprise Library 5.0 which is only required if you are using the Silverlight Integration Pack and need WCF RIA Services Integration or configuration tool support. get it here
However the most interesting development is a version of the Enterprise Library for Silverlight developers get it here it contains Caching Application Block, Exception Handling Application Block, Logging Application Block, Policy Injection Application Block, Validation Application Block, and Unity Application Block allowing you to develop best practice effectively.
Just in case you don't have the Enterprise library you can get it here
Microsoft Unity 2.1 is a dependency injection container. this is a minor update on Unity get it here , I also recommend you visit the Patterns and Practices page for Unity here
There is also a port of Unity 2.1 for Silverlight here
if you need to learn how to use these great libraries there is of course a Hands On Labs (HOL) for Enterprise Library 5.0 here
I looked back and realised I had missed a few updates to post ( I blame Microsoft for bringing out lots of great things all at once )
Light switch Beta 2 is out get it here, the site now suggests that a July 26th launch date is on the cards
StyleCop 4.5 has now been released get it here , if you haven't tried StyleCop, its main aim is to help deliver standards of code style and standards across an organisation, but it is in fact a perfect pair to FxCop (see the Windows 7.1 .net 4.0 SDK) as FxCop analyses binaries , StyleCop analyses source code.
if you haven't already scoot over to Richards blog for updates from the ALM Rangers on some cool TFS work
Microsoft as ever have been busy with new drops and SP1 refreshes of technology for us all to embrace and here is a summary update for this month
The Microsoft F# (184.108.40.206), April 2011 Community Technology Preview is available here
While not all new if you are looking at F# I would suggest keeping an eye on
F# PowerPack F# Samples F# Developer Center
F# PowerPack
F# Samples
F# Developer Center
For learning F# check out the Try F# tutorials here
Anders announced that in the new generation of the .Net languages at PDC 2010 more compiler automation of classic tasks in this case Async functions and beyond will be possible. You can watch it here. The SP1 previews of the new compilers are available now (see below)
C# Language Specification for Asynchronous Functions get it here
VB Language Specification for Asynchronous Functions get it here
A general overview of Asynchrony in .NET is available as a Whitepaper here
Visual Studio Async CTP including the language changes (SP1 Refresh) get it here
a related useful read is Task-based Asynchronous Pattern which is a new pattern for asynchrony get it here
another interesting document is Introduction to TPL Dataflow which is a library for building parallel and concurrent applications get is here
It is useful to note that while not encouraged the EULA does allow for production use (but on your own head be it)
across the two keynotes of the 2011 Microsoft have demonstrated and released a
IE10 Preview is now out, it has a nice set of enhanced features (faster etc). more importantly Microsoft are continuing with dev preview and a sensible cadence of 8-12 weeks, get it here
Silverlight 5 Beta is now out, check out its features here get it here also the CHM is available here remember to Service Pack both Visual Studio 2010 and Expression Web before trying out the new tools.
A new version of expression blend for SL 5 is also available here
On Phone 7 and beyond Mango the next version of Windows Phone 7 was formally announced with a great set of new features. A release of Mango is expected in May in emulation form. Hopefully developers will also get access on real hardware earlier to allow development or so tweets from the team suggest.
The new emulator allows screen shots to be taken. There was some anger at reports that mango would not allow access to the gyroscope, which is quite understandable as Windows Phone 7 does not have a gyroscope, however Mango will allow access to a gyroscope if fitted to the phone (new Mango issue Phones).
New features
For all of you who know that I am a big big fan of StyleCop, I am super pleased that Doug Holland has released is a new update of a set of really good code snippets
Get them here
I would recommend reading Doug's blog posts for the last two updates, well worth the effort.here and here
Doug also has some StyleCop compliant project templates which are well worth a peek
The new Silverlight 4 tools are now baked and fresh out of the oven get them here
As many of you know I am a huge fan of StyleCop and so when Microsoft announced that StyleCop will soon have a C# 4.0 version (StyleCop version 4.4) but that it will also become open source under the MS-PL license, by means of a CodePlex project, and all future development on StyleCop will be done from that CodePlex site. Microsoft will continue to manage the StyleCop project, and Microsoft will be responsible for creating and releasing official signed builds. However, they will also take code submissions from the community.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional will launch on April 12 for an estimated retail price of £484.99.
If you use a previous version of Visual Studio or any other development tool then you are eligible for this upgrade. Along with all the great new features in Visual Studio 2010 (see www.microsoft.com/visualstudio) Visual Studio 2010 Professional includes a 12-month MSDN Essentials subscription which gives you access to core Microsoft platforms: Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Datacenter.
Visit http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-gb/pre-order-visual-studio-2010 to check out all the new features and sign up for this offer
The new version of the Snippet Editor now supports Visual Studio 2010, if you are doing demo's or like snippets get it here
Those good people at Microsoft have just released updated versions of IronPython and IronRuby CTP's for .NET 4.0 ( Beta 2 ) to sync up with the Visual Studio release last week
IronPython 2.6 CTP for .NET 4.0 Beta 2.

World AIDS Day, internationally observed on December 1st of each year, is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection.
World AIDS Day was first conceived in August 1987 by James W. Bunn and Thomas Netter, two public information officers for the Global Program on AIDS at the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. Bunn and Netter took their idea to Dr. Jonathan Mann, Director of the Global Program on AIDS (now known as UNAIDS). Dr. Mann liked the concept, approved it, and agreed with the recommendation that the first observance of World AIDS Day should be 1 December, 1988.
AIDS has killed more than 25 million people between 1981 and 2007,and an estimated 33.2 million people worldwide live with HIV as of 2007,making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history. Despite recent, improved access to antiretroviral treatment and care in many regions of the world, the AIDS epidemic claimed an estimated 2 million lives in 2007, of which about 270,000 were children.
The Student World AIDS Group and the Office of Student Engagement would like to thank the individuals and organizations that are helping to make the 2011 KUMC World AIDS Day events possible:
With special thanks to the KUMC Diversity Initiative.
Below is a list of events planned for the week of November 28th. In addition to a week of programs, we are excited to host several panels of the NAMES Project Foundation AIDS Memorial Quilt.

With European Member States facing significant challenges in introducing National Action Plans designed to deliver agricultural systems which make much greater use of Integrated Pest Management, the role of ENDURE's Network of Experts is likely to become increasingly important.
ENDURE's Network of Experts brings together scientific expertise from a wide range of disciplines and is already making important contributions to the process of implementing IPM across the continent.
ENDURE's Network of Experts can respond to requests from clients at both the EU and national level seeking technical, advisory or institutional support on questions relating to IPM implementation. Of major significance is the fact it offers 'live' expertise, available at relatively short notice and neatly complementing the body of information available in the ENDURE Information Centre.
Its track record includes membership of the European Commission's Expert Group on the Thematic Strategy on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides, chaired by the Directorate General for 'Health and Consumers' (DG 'Sanco'), contributions to the DG Environment's 'Implementation of IPM principles – Guidance to Member States', and work for national organisations in both France and Italy.
It allows ENDURE to offer in-depth assessments, technical recommendations and advisory support through an extensive network of more than 450 scientific experts from across Europe, complemented by access to pools of ad-hoc expertise which can be called upon to assist in specific tasks.
Scope of the Network of Experts
The Network of Experts can satisfy requests specifically relating to IPM implementation, with two general types of requests eligible:
ENDURE's thematic scope is at the intersections between the following domains and the issue of IPM implementation:
Potential clients and requests
Achievements to date
How to contact ENDURE's Network of Experts
You can contact the ENDURE Network of Experts by sending an email to email@example.com
Useful sources of information on this site:
National policy documents
A range of documents useful for those involved in the policy making process has now been added to the ENDURE website. The selection currently includes documents relating to National Action Plans and pesticide reduction plans, plus review papers. Go to documents. |
ENDURE Policy Briefs
ENDURE is determined to play a positive role in aiding European Member States which must 'establish or support the establishment of necessary conditions for the implementation' of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). ENDURE Policy Briefs are a range of briefing documents designed to provide policy advisers with insights into the conditions necessary for the successful implementation of IPM. Go to ENDURE Policy Briefs. |
European Commission documents
The European Commission officially adopted and published the Regulation concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and the Directive establishing a framework for Community action to achieve the sustainable use of pesticides in November 2009. You can download them here. Go to documents. |

One strum is all it takes to get in tune.
Plucking sucks. Every single string you pluck on stage to tune between songs kills the vibe, driving a dagger through the heart of your show. The momentum of everything you've built up to since stepping on stage crumbles all around you as the crowds' excitement dies.
The HT-6 Polyphonic Tuner takes you from tuning to tuned, faster by showing you the status of each individual string after one strum. With the HardWire HT-6, one strum and you are on to do what you came to, play.
HardWire Pedals include the following stage accessories:
Plucking sucks! Strum once, tune up, and rock out! Order the HT-6 now.

Al-Rajhi was almost 10 minutes clear of the chasing SWRC pack on Vodafone Rally de Portugal when he retired on the final morning following a mechanical failure on the Ford Fiesta RRC he shares with co-driver Michael Orr.
Although the SWRC doesn't resume until Brother Rally New Zealand at the end of June, Saudi ace Al-Rajhi is already targeting another strong performance, this time on the Acropolis Rally in Greece, which he is planning to contest as an addition to his SWRC campaign.
"Hopefully we can show the same pace in Greece as in Portugal," said Al-Rajhi. "We don't have anything to lose in Greece so we can push to see where our pace is. Then in New Zealand we can take it more cautiously and make sure we get some points on the board."
Of his retirement in Portugal, Al-Rajhi believes the mechanical failure was the legacy of an incident earlier in the four-day rally.
"In the second stage [on Sunday] the cross-member broke going into a slow left-hand corner," said Al-Rajhi. "It was very bumpy, but I think the cross-member may have been cracked before - maybe when I hit the water splash on two day because we didn't hit anything. I tried to drive another five kilometers or so, but then the wheel came off completely and our event was over."

Additional information
Salps belong to the same group as sea squirts: the tunicates or urochordates. Although they may not look it, salps are among the most advanced invertebrates in the sea and are closely related to vertebrates (animals with backbones).
