Quote from TwippHi
I think that the trading is a big part of Diablo games but the same time I see the problems it brings to the game. Trading should be only possible inside the diablo program and not in internet sites like a d2jsp and such.
If theres no trading at all it creates also some problems. For instance if you dont play all classes and find something you cant use it can be annoying. Also you need to build your character from your drops so you cant try anything special that requires some certain item.. that sucks big time.
Game without anykind trading can also be boring.
Could they make system similar to the AH we had but one that only works for account bound items trade?
When you find a great legendary it would always be binded to your account and you could not give it or trade it in game with others,.BUT you could list it to the external trading house and asks other items from list as a return. You could not trade the item for gold, money or give it for free.
This could us allow to trade items but it would limit the third party sites because the trading would only work in this inside build program.
The reason this doesn't work is high level players will just roll around act 1 in all mf gear(if it exists) getting a million kills a minute and getting several low level legendaries and LLL would become the new currency.
I propose we cap clan rosters at 250 people, allow open trading within clans.
This has some pros and cons to it but the cons are easily manageable
- Decent trading market comes with a decent sized clan, creating an environment that allows for friendly legendary trading and leading to good experiences.
- This will give rise to illustrious elite guilds that people strive to meet the requirements of to get in to access trading with very high end farmers.(also a con but I'll get to that)
- With guild rosters capped at 250. We will still see a somewhat gradual item hike across the board.
- Lone wolfs are put at a disadvantage. I'm ok with this and I'd bet a lot of lone wolves themselves are as well. The only fix I can come up with for this is to have a way to disable clan chat and also hide clan tag, so joining the clan is just an immediately invisible formality.
- Black market guilds that simply invite you to guild to deliver the goods. FIX: Lock new clan members out of trading for 3-7 days(perhaps bypass this if clan invite comes from a RealID friend.
- Elitist guilds making players feel inferior: FIX: disallow item linking in anything but clan chat, allow players who wish to not be pressured by this to easily ignore it. Make a clan recruitment channel for people wishing to get this sort of spam, again avoiding the elitists clans vomiting all over global chat.

Are you implying that Haruko and Naota, at some point, had sex?takai wrote:Actually, sesse is completely right. The guitars in FLCL are definitely an allusion to penises (so are the bats, and the things that come out of naota's head).
kiss_army, a 12 year old boy's life is all about penises. It's their hormonal prime, they're going through puberty, and sex is always in the back of their mind. That's what FLCL is about.
For example, in episode 5 Haruko goes into a minute-long rant about guitar skills before pouncing Naota down on his bed in some what of an erotic position.
Naota: "It's dangerous to go waving that thing [her guitar] around."
Haruko: "Use your guitar again. One more time, Ta-kun. ... Kaking ... You did it so great last time."
Naota: "Not interested."
Haruko: "[giggles] I should teach you how to be a man, Ta-kun."
Naota: "Yeah, like you know!"
From the dialogue and positions in this scene, "guitar" is obviously implying "penis."
I'm working on a complete analysis that will explain a lot of the metaphors in FLCL - it will be on the site when I'm done..
Feel free to argue this theory.

Hi, first post in the overhaul of a good mates T1. This old girl was completed in 2003 and has been a shelf queen ever since. I received her about a week ago with the orders to get her going again and give her a face lift. My plan is to give her a light overhaul to start with. Get her running and let her settle into her skin. Then at a later date we'll go all out on her.

David Allen, Getting Things Done® and GTD®
> How do I explain GTD to others?
Getting Things Done, also referred to as "GTD," is a work/life management approach that is based on the principle that you have to get things out of your head and recorded in a system you can trust. This frees your mind from the job of remembering everything that you need to do, and allows it to concentrate fully on actually doing those things. Central to the GTD method is a simple thought process that you must go through with every task or problem that you are faced with. Two questions must be answered: "What is successful outcome?" And, "What is the next action?" By clarifying what must be achieved, and then deciding on the very next physical step that is required, we can generate a clear set of next actions that can be taken as soon as we are in the right context to do them. Thus, a key part of the GTD method is creating lists of tasks that are specific to a context, such as a list of calls to make or things to do at the office. The author of Getting Things Done, David Allen, summarizes the approach this way: "Get everything out of your head. Make decisions about actions required on stuff when it shows up–not when it blows up. Organize reminders of your projects and the next actions on them in appropriate categories. Keep your system current, complete, and reviewed sufficiently to trust your intuitive choices about what you're doing (and not doing) at anytime."

Putting a freeze on winter fires
PRINCETON — Fire safety during the winter months is the focus of the "Put a Freeze on Winter Fires" campaign by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)and the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA).
The joint promotion targets both home heating concerns and safe cooking practices, which are the two leading causes of home fires in the United States, according to NFPA President Jim Shannon. Both types of fires peak during the winter months, but fortunately both home heating and cooking fires are largely preventable with some basic guidelines in place, he said.
Locally, Princeton Fire Chief Chuck Woolley said the winter months do not necessarily mean there will be an increased number of structure fires, but the potential is greater with people using their furnaces and space heaters.

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
*Mississippi Delta
*Mississippi Delta. Fertile farming region of the western part of the state of Mississippi that is bordered by the Mississippi River. Brick and Maggie's plantation is located in this region, which is dominated by large cotton plantations and strong family traditions. One of these traditions is to pass family plantations from fathers to eldest sons, but only to sons who have children to continue the tradition. In Tennessee Williams's play, Brick's father, Big Daddy Pollitt, is dying. He wishes to leave the plantation to Brick but hesitates because Brick has become a drunkard, and his wife, Maggie, has yet to produce the necessary grandson to carry on the Delta tradition.
Plantation house
Plantation house. Home of Brick and Maggie, whose large and beautiful bedroom opens on a veranda that encircles the second floor of the house. The room is clearly fit for important people to occupy and hold court; by the end of the play, the entire seventeen member cast has been received there. Also the place in which marriages are celebrated, the room is ironically a soft and beautiful prison in which Maggie's desire for Brick goes unrequited. No matter how she appeals to Brick to make love, he rejects her, thereby turning their bedroom into a place where Maggie feels tormented, trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof.

Historical Context
Domestic Life in the 1950s
The year of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof's debut, 1955, was an interesting time for male and female relationships, a pre-feminist/pre-gay rights era when ideas about alternative life styles were incubating, though not openly emerging. According to the era's social norms, there simply was no viable alternative for the traditional, mom, dad, and two children family pattern that was portrayed in television shows such as Father Knows Best; in reality, few American families came close to this idealized version of life.
The 1950s also saw young people begin to question the dictates of society; many began experimenting with drugs, dress, dance, and language that challenged convention—though in a rather tame way compared to the counterculture movement of the 1960s. Actor James Dean, a role model of disaffected arrogance and diffidence, starred in his two hit films in 1955, East of Eden and Rebel without a Cause, then died unexpectedly at the age of 24 in a car wreck that September. He was instantly catapulted from film star to mythic icon. Like Dean's popular film characters, it became hip to smoke with a squint, wear a black leather jacket, and stand apart from society in aloof judgement.
The Beats
Nineteen-fifty-five was also the time of literary introspection, black turtlenecks, and booze—all hallmarks of what...
(The entire section is 590 words.)
Literary Style
Symbolism is the use of objects to evoke concepts or ideas. Williams has often been accused of excessive symbolism in many of his plays. Obvious symbols in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof are the cat, the moon, and Brick's crutch; equally prevalent are the diseases of alcoholism and cancer.
Alcoholism and cancer are linked in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof as two diseases representing problems in the spiritual well-being of their victims. Brick embraces alcohol as a way to keep his guilty feelings from surfacing. At the same time, the alcohol has slowly begun to make a slave of Brick, just as cancer is slowly taking over his father. Alcoholism is a self-imposed form of death-in-life when its victims drink in order to achieve a state of oblivion, as Brick does. It is a disease that will ultimately lead to death as cancer does.
Big Daddy did not choose to have cancer, but his state of illness represents his life—apparently healthy on the outside yet rotting from within. He has all of the trappings of a successful man, but his marriage and family are not equal to his financial success, and his desire to celebrate life by draping a girl in mink and "humping her from hell to...

Compare and Contrast
1955: In the United States, only 34% of women between the ages of 20 and 54 work outside of the home. Most married women are dependent upon their husbands' or fathers' financial support and women are expected to be full-time homemakers.
Today: Nearly 80% of women between the ages of 20 and 54 work outside of the home. Women and men share almost equal wage earnings. In many families, both husband and wife work and share in the domestic duties.
1955: Married women are expected to want, and to have, children. A woman who can not produce a child is seen as incomplete by society.
Today: Families consist of many combinations of parents who work and care for children, and having children is no longer a must for women, although many women still feel biological and social pressure to bear a child.
1955: Society has very strict prejudices regarding open homosexuality. Gay men are forced to hide or repress their sexual activity, leading to the phrase "in the closet."
Today: Though there is still considerable prejudice, society is much more accepting and understanding of homosexual relationships. This open culture has led to many gays coming "out of the closet'' and publicly proclaiming their sexuality. Many have been encouraged by famous role models such as singer Melissa Etheridge, actor Ellen DeGeneres, and...

Topics for Further Study
Why does Maggie's announcement that she is pregnant seem like a viable solution to her? Will it solve her and Brick's problems?
Research Southern Gothic literature. In what ways is Cat on a Hot Tin Roof exemplary of this genre?
How have women's economic and social roles changed since the first production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in 1955? In what ways have they remained unchanged?
What elements normally associated with the Antebellum (post-Civil War) South appear in the play? What more modern elements appear? Explain how elements from such diverse eras can coexist in this play.

Media Adaptations
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was adapted for film in 1958 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). It was written (with Jame Poe) and directed by Richard Brooks and stars Paul Newman as Brick, Elizabeth Taylor as Maggie, and Burl Ives, who reprises his stage role, as Big Daddy. Both Newman and Taylor received Academy Award nominations for their performances. Taylor's is considered by many critics to be the definitive portrayal of Maggie the Cat. It is available on videotape from MGM/GBS Home Video.
In 1976 Lawrence Olivier tried his hand at Big Daddy with Maureen Stapleton as Big Mama and the real-life husband and wife team of Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood as Brick and Maggie. Directed by Robert Moore.
Jessica Lange was Maggie in a 1984 television production that also included David Dukes as Gooper, Tommy Lee Jones as Brick, and Rip Torn as Big Daddy. The production is available from MGM and Vestron home video.

What Do I Read Next?
King Lear, William Shakespeare's tragedy about a king who disperses his kingdom to his daughters only to find that they cared more for his wealth than for him. He finds himself abandoned in his old age. Japanese director Akira Kurosawa reinterpreted the Lear story in his 1985 film Ran, which involves ancient Japanese royalty in a similar inheritance dispute. American author Jane Smiley adapted the Lear legend in her 1991 novel A Thousand Acres.
John Updike's 1960 novel Rabbit Run concerns a disaffected salesman who abandons his alcoholic wife and their child to look for "freedom,'' only to return, guilt-ridden and still dissatisfied.
William Faulkner's character, Quentin Compson, who appears in his novels The Sound and the Fury and Absalom, Absalom, kills himself when he recognizes humankind's essentially evil nature.
In his popular Tales of the City series Armistead Maupin offers touching and realistic vignettes of the homosexual lifestyle in San Francisco.
Brett Harvey's The Fifties: A Women's Oral History (1993), recounts the stories of several women as they look back on their coming of age in 1950s America.

Make sure you take lots of Maldives diving photos, as these are by far the best way to get people interested in diving holidays in Maldives. If you're concerned about the cost of scuba diving in Maldives, you donât need to worry. While it is true that Maldives diving prices can be very high, it is also possible to get a great deal on a diving safari Maldives. The most surefire way of getting cheap scuba diving holidays is to book last minute diving holidays. All of the Maldives diving liveaboards have a certain capacity they need to fill, so if the time comes for the safari to set sail, and the boat is not full, the operators would rather fill the boat with reduced-price passengers than sail a half empty boat, meaning that last minute diving holidays are available. Without getting a special deal on a Maldives diving safari, you will find that Maldives scuba diving prices vary wildly, depending on the length of the safari and the type of ship that you choose to dive from. For the cheapest scuba diving, you should book on one of the more basic liveaboards, which costs about US$180 per person per night, including all Maldives, diving and meals.

Beautiful bookcase. I put it together by myself in about 15 minutes. THere was one piece for the drawer that didn't have the holes drilled in for the screws so I just used wood glue to put it with the other piece and that worked fine. One of the door pulls was stripped so the bug spins instead of being still, but that's ok too.

Lovely product. Painting and wood are very nice. Instructions were bad and we got 2 of one of the parts (think Ds) and had to drill holes to make it work. Thank God I had help putting the bookcase together. I also bought the Teamson rocking chair. The finished products are great but I wish they were sold in your stores. Any child would love them!

I purchased this to complete the set, i already have the toy box and table and chairs. I was extremely happy with this when i received it, also liked that there are brackets on the back of it so you can mount it against your wall, as we all know toddlers like to pull things down on them. I assembled this by myself and it was very easy to put together. My only complaint was that the bee knob was busted [...] Also this isn't very large but really is the perfect size for a small child.

This is a women's only hotel and all the staff there make you feel so welcome. I would work in the morning then come back to the hotel and use the spa facilities. I had reflexology, a royal jelly facial and three different massages. If you get a chance, ask for Komang. She was my therapist and was so friendly.... More

It is the Long Island Marriott, the first unit of that famed international hospitality chain to be built on Long Island. The $27-million super-hotel, with its gleaming 10-story twin towers, faces east over Meadow-brook Parkway with large (main) entrances on both the Meadowbrook side and on the west (Coliseum) side. It is scheduled for formal opening early January, 1983, when it will become the newest "member" of Marriott's 118-unit family. Besides being the largest hotel on Long Island, with 391 rooms, the Marriott will have the Island's largest hotel ballroom; it will seat 900 for banquets and 1200 for meetings or conventions. The twin buildings, constructed of reinforced and p re-cast concrete which, along with the built-in accoutrements, combine to offer the utmost in safety and esthetic values. A cementitous coating on the poured-in-place walls gives the bright, gleaming effect. Architecturally and structurally, probably the most notable feature — which gives the Marriott hospitality/recreation center a new dimension — is the maximum utilization of natural light. Starting with the lobby, a sun-filled four-story atrium by day, the designers have capitalized on natural lighting — sunlight on a clear day and starlight at night. Large sliding glassi.panels on the slanting roof over the swimming pool, located off the hotel's main floor, can be opened in the warm months to make the facility an outdoor pool and closed in the colder months for indoor swimming. There will be 35 special rooms with sliding doors that will open out on the pool deck and on the balcony above the pool. The hotel management has plans to make these pool-side units available on a day-rate basis for family or group parties on hot summer days, with a salad bar and buffet lunch available at poolside. Skylighting has also been utilized in other sections of the hotel, supplementing the patio restaurant and sidewalk cafe — all designed to capitalize on Long Island's delightful April to autumn clime. Besides the indoor/outdoor pool the hotel will have complete health club facilities, with two rac-quetball courts, a hydro-therapy pool, exercise room and a game room. Already the $27-million Marriott has been a boon to Long Island's economy, having provided work for more than 500 building craftsmen (at peak) for more than a year plus the purchase of many material items locally. A staff of nearly 300 men and women, nearly all of them from Long Island, will be required to operate the hotel. Add to this the crew of Marriott management specialists who have been transferred here and have established homes on Long Island and it is certain to make more than a ripple on the area's economy. Architects for the Long Island Marriott were Gencorelli & Salo of Mineola, L.I. and John Nichols of Nichols & Associates, Coral Gables, Florida (design consultants). Architectural design was coordinated with the Marriott Design Department in Washington, D.C. General Contractor on the project is Walter Perlstein, Inc. of North Massapequa, L.I. Alan August, a partner in Walter Perlstein is the project manager. Nearly all of the subcontractors on the multi-million construction project are Li-based.

Looks even better than in the picture and was a perfect fit, size and comfort.
Anonymous, Anchorage, AK – December 2013
Really happy with it. Replaced lost platinum. Would have purchased this instead for wedding had I known anything about ring materials at that time. Without restoration, my wife's platinum looks terrible. This ring is a much better value. I ordered size based on ring fitter and ring fit well.
Anonymous, Grayslake, IL – November 2013
The ring is very shiny, feels high-quality and for the price it can't be beat. It matches perfectly with my white-gold diamond engagement ring. Based on other reviews, I ordered a half size smaller for my fiance and it is still a little large.
Lindsay, Minneapolis, MN – November 2013

Conditions of Use
I think that prejudice can be found anywhere. One specific place that prejudice can be found might be where you work. Maybe someone else got a raise because they were close friends with the boss. Or maybe you're treated unfairly by coworkers because of the person you work for. Maybe because of your beliefs your coworkers treat you unfairly. These are all examples of what people can do to you at work.

Couldn't really think of anywhere else to stick this, so mods if it doesn't belong here feel free to move. Anyway:
It has occurred to me that the Republic City Council's only measures against Amon seem to be physical attacks against the Equalists.
What they really need to be doing is trying to compete with Amon's propaganda machine. So far, even Tarrlok hasn't provided any form of response to Amon's flyers going out everywhere, his radio broadcasts and the spectacular public appearances he manages to make.
If the Council isn't careful, soon every non-bender in the city will be an Equalist.

Poor baby
I'm having no luck with Safari or Chrome, beta or regular...both browsers keep locking-up.

Which one do you see on your end? I see the Warhol-esque one.
Yep...just giving Eric all potential info.
My avatar is correct on www, not on beta.
And my workout uploaded on www.
I finally got it to work, too...www.
Yah. My avatar is correct on www, not on beta.
I'm seeing the same avatar on both versions.
Nope. Avatars differ on the different versions for me.
The monkeys are punking you, perhaps?
They call it 'punkey'.
Punkey Munkey!
The beta site was not properly configured, which caused both problems reported. It should be fixed.

Please give me your potty training advice!!
So please tell me how you potty trained your kids! I need some advice, pronto!
18 comments:
- corrie.nne said...
learning how to Poo on the potty is the easy part of potty training, the peeing is much harder from what i understand.. Damon totally knows when he is peeing and tells me it sometimes... it takes a while for the peeing part... lots of patience, and small reminders.. Maybe try big boy undies so when he is all wet... he might catch on
- August 17, 2009 at 8:40 AM
- fireweedroots said...
My son skipped the potty bit when it came to peeing. He got to follow my Dad to the bathroom one time and was so impressed with the standing up version of peeing that he stretched himself up over the edge of the bowl. He missed a few times - but at least it was in the room designed for the purpose...

I've yet to see a fourteen year old that doesn't know how to use a toilet. Personally I think we spend too much time fretting about things that will happen in their own time. It isn't, after all, a race.

- Morena said...
I'm not there yet but I watched a Dr. Phil not long ago that boasted a one day remedy. It's a little hokey but the mom's that tried swear it works. You start by getting a doll that 'wets'. You ask your kid to help you 'teach' the doll to go and when it goes in the potty you cheer and have a party. Hats, noisemakers-the whole bit. In the meantime you've been putting liquid to your son so he may have to go too. After the celebration you ask him if he wants to go on the potty. If not, move on. You basically do this over and over- 9 times is the magic number apparently- and eventually your son will so want the party for himself that he'll give it a try. When he does, have a party. I'm sure he has a more detailed breakdown on his website. I don't know if it works but it sounds like alot of fun anyway. If you try it, let me know if it works. I've been curious and won't get to try it for almost a year yet.

- Matt, Kara, Hunter and Cavan said...
Thanks for the ideas everyone!
Stacie- you crack me up!!
And Clare, I know, no rush... but now that we have been "free ranging" him, he pulls off his pants and diaper whenever we do have it on him and goes on the floor!! Maybe Stacie is right...
Morena- I friend just told me about that idea too! I am going to look it up. We are going to WH this week, so I can pick some stuff up if I want to try it. - August 17, 2009 at 11:59 AM
- Trish said...
my sister Sandra was 'free ranged' but I think girls learn faster cause it can't be fun have pee run down your legs. Closest thing I can think of is running around with a pair of tighty whites on so he can feel when he wets.
OOOO I heard put a cheerio in the toilet and have 'target practice sessions' He'll be writing his name in the snow in no time ;-) - August 17, 2009 at 2:13 PM
Bribery, with stickers, smarties, and other treats...
At first 1 smartie for sitting on the potty, then when there is action, give him a few...like 2 for a pee, 3 for a poo or something... - August 17, 2009 at 3:33 PM
Hey kara, I have some target thingies that you put in the toilet to aim at. Basically the same as cheerios. If you want them, email me and let me know!!
Freya - August 17, 2009 at 3:37 PM
We did the same with Sloan Kara and let him just go he got the poo down but not the pee, so while he was home with Mom she got him Scooby Doo undies and told him he could not make a mess on Scooby and he never did. That might work with Hunter what is in love with right now let me knwo and I will pick him up some and mail them too you. I did the same with Ethan and works like a charm might help. Talk soon love you guys
Lynne - August 17, 2009 at 4:11 PM
i would just let him go until he's ready. my son was three when one day he said "take off the diaper. i don't need it anymore" and that was that. he never had even one accident. usually when a child is talking well he or she will naturally want to be toilet-trained.

Michael trained himself in a day. No, seriously. We got those cloth training pants that get really wet, almost like a towel.
Now, by that time he had already decided that diapers were disgusting and he wasn't going to wear one that had any pee OR poop in it. (He would pee in his diaper, take it off, and run off, yelling "ICK! ICK!")
We talked about the potty, and told him about the big-boy underwear. He was so proud to wear them, and so horrified by the wet pee, that it really was fast and painless. - August 17, 2009 at 5:48 PM
Kara, Michael learned over a weekend. The biggest thing is asking the little tyke over and over and over again if he has to go potty. We had a toilet book that could only be read in the bathroom and raisins worked as the bribe. The cloth underwear, kind of thick ones get very wet and cold, and usually one wee in that and they are a bit more open to the toilet. So far I haven't seen kids going to kindergarten in diapers, so I guess we all get there some day! We also used the 'only babies wet themselves and big boys pee in the toilet like Mom & Dad' thankfully Cavin won't remember being 'used as the bad role model'. Michael was alot easier to train than Kristin. Good luck, Pat K

- Tigger said...
My advice....? Time. We had a potty book for Peekaboo, called "My big girl potty" There is a "big boy" version. You could also try setting the timer on the stove to go off every hour-that is "potty time". When he pees in the potty, celebrate!
Also, sounds hinky but, let him watch Matt every time he goes-imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!!
Don't worry, he will get the hang of it!! - August 18, 2009 at 9:49 AM
Two words... FRUIT LOOPS. We went through a WHOLE box but it works. They make great target practice. Great for learning colors at the same time. :)

- Aida said...
that potty doll dont work! i've had a bunch of "real moms" who says its a waste of money, their kids are more interested in how the doll works and cant grasp the idea they should be mimicking the doll.
make him cloth training pants, esp good if he hates to be wet. also you might want to have him sit on the potty every 20 minutes or so. he probably wont do anything but at least if he HAS to pee, you will see less puddle.
i am still getting puddles, more like 1 tbsp on the floor kind with Ben, i think its more a boy thing? cause i find that he has to sprinkle a bit, then tells me he needs to potty and continues to pee once i put him on the toilet. i dont let him run "free range" though, i made a few boxers for him and that works for him.
good luck! - August 19, 2009 at 8:06 PM
Fruit loops and observing hubby combined with a reward system. Tell him you will put a star on the wall above the pottie every time he uses it....3 stars (or whatever) and a treat is forthcoming. Make the treat a REALLY good one for the first week...and slightly less good every few days after that.
- August 22, 2009 at 1:15 PM

Bribery. We awarded 1 M&M for a successful pee in the potty, 2 M&Ms for a successful poop. (I guess this works better if candy isn't something a kid takes for granted).

This is more of a theory question, so will see where it goes. It seems I get to the point in some of my work that I look at what I have, and I'm not really sure how to take it to the next level. A little background might be useful...
I'm mainly an editor, mostly industrials, some scenic. I am a jack of all trades. In order of expirence, I edit/graphics (AE and a little 3D), tech support our post facility, tech support our fleet of gear including our EPIC, af100, HPX2000 and a slew of prompters computers, servers an such. I also DIT/Camera tech our shoots, and am the default ProTools audio guy in the office. So, I tend to wear a lot of hats. Not by choice,but by necessity.
When I edit or am creating/designing my graphics for use in my edits, I sometimes run into a wall.
I look at what I have and think it looks pretty good, but I've got another 2-3 hours in the budget to do some more, but I'm not sure how. I have a project right now that is a bunch of short videos for a client. They are really happy with them, the producer loves it, but I look at them all and think it could go another step to make them more polished, more cohesive as a group. But I'm at a loss as to what to work on. Obviously I don't expect answers from people without looking at them, which I can't do at the moment.
So, my question is, what do you guys and gals do when you are having a mental block, or can't see past your own work to the next best thing? I guess I'm talking more generally in ones work, not really technically. Do you have a trusted friend or colleague you call to critique your work? Do you disconnect totally and do something else for a bit? Do you troll the interwebs looking for ideas?
A couple of the things I've tried is to watch more media around me. Not to steal ideas, but to see great things and pull that into my own work. Since trying my hand at 3d work, I'm noticing light and color more, and how it interacts with objects. I've been doing a quick draw on my phone to whip it out and take a picture of a cool looking poster or graphic on a video screen so I can look at it later.
What else is out there? Am I too diversified in what I do that I can't sharpen my skills on any one thing? Do I need to diversify more?
Any discussion is welcome!

OAKLAND -- Josh Donaldson readily admits he probably wouldn't have come through with the game on the line in April or May.
But mid-August? Donaldson finally thinks he has a few things figured out after two miserable stints with the A's earlier in the season, and Friday night, he provided some convincing evidence.
Donaldson, called up from Triple-A on Tuesday when Brandon Inge went down with a sprained right shoulder, had a career-high four hits and drove in the go-ahead run with an eighth-inning single as the A's beat Cleveland 6-4 before 13,967 at the Oakland Coliseum.
"Previous times (with the A's), I've been so amped up I haven't allowed my real abilities to work for me," Donaldson said. "But ever since I've been here this time, I've had a relaxed mentality, just trying to put the barrel (of the bat) on the ball and not try to do too much with it."
Donaldson also made a stellar play at third base as Oakland won its second straight after a three-game losing streak.
Much like Chris Carter, who required a couple of demotions back to Sacramento before things finally started to click for him, it's been a different Donaldson since his second recall.
He was on the opening-day roster as the starting third baseman but was sent to the minors after hitting .094 with no RBIs in nine games. He returned to Oakland on May 12 but hit just .182 and was sent back to the River Cats a second time after just 19 games.
But in the four games he's played since returning to Oakland, he's been on fire -- 7 for 14. And this latest performance -- 4 for 4 with two RBIs -- was his best yet.
Donaldson said he is just trying to take the same calm approach he did with the River Cats, where he was hitting .335 with 13 home runs.
"There's not one at-bat in Sacramento where I'm tight, where I'm telling myself, 'I gotta get a hit here,' " he said. "Just getting that to transfer over to the big leagues has been a big thing for me. It's taken some time."
The A's and Indians were tied 4-4 heading into the bottom of the eighth, but Carter opened the inning with a walk and Brandon Moss singled against reliever Joe Smith (7-3). Cleveland brought in Vinny Pestano to face pinch hitter Josh Reddick, who blooped a single over shortstop to load the bases.
Pestano got ahead 1-2, but Donaldson slapped a liner between third and shortstop to bring home pinch runner Adam Rosales as the go-ahead run. Cliff Pennington provided an insurance run with a sacrifice fly.
On a night of many good things to talk about, manager Bob Melvin was particularly impressed with Donaldson's final at-bat.
"Earlier in the year, he might have tried to do too much," Melvin said. "What he did, that's all it takes. We're just trying to get a run. It was a great at-bat."
The Indians jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the fourth inning on a grand slam by designated hitter Shelley Duncan off A's starter Tommy Milone, who only lasted five innings. Oakland rallied with three runs in the bottom of fourth and tied it in the fifth.
Oakland's bullpen then took over to set up the winning rally and then preserve it. Pat Neshek gave the A's 11/3 innings of perfection, eventual winner Jordan Noberto (4-1) went the next 12/3, and Grant Balfour recorded his 10th save with a 1-2-3 ninth.
Milone gave up seven hits, walked one and struck out six. Cleveland starter Zach McAllister pitched six innings, allowed eight hits and four runs, walked one and struck out six.
Reddick was scratched from the starting lineup for a second straight day but was feeling well enough to pinch hit.
Afterward, he said he was feeling much after having another maintenance procedure done Friday following the removal of a bad tooth earlier in the week.
"I didn't feel anything for about three hours, but then (the pain) started coming up on me a little bit," he said. "But it was nowhere what I've been feeling lately, so I was excited."
Reddick, who said he hopes to be back in the starting lineup Saturday, was happy to be part of the winning rally, too.
"I think I'm 3-for-3 off that guy (Pestano) with the total distance of the hits being about 300 feet," he said.
"I always drove to the ballpark the same way, and I always used the same pen to write in the lineup card," he said Friday. "I'm glad I didn't run out of ink."
Howe, despite how he was portrayed in the movie "Moneyball," is part of a modest delegation in town to celebrate the streak of the 2002 team Saturday night.
Also on hand for the festivities are Ken Macha, Howe's bench coach and his successor as manager, coaches Thad Bosley and Mike Quade and a smattering of players -- pitchers Jim Mecir, Jeff Tam, Chad Bradford and Micah Bowie, outfielder Terrence Long and first baseman Scott Hatteberg (who now works for the A's).

Anyways. . .
It should be known, I have a handful of Cubs-related collectibles/paraphernalia that I have been looking to share with the diehardest of diehard Cubs fans. (Probably not the actual "die hard", although just when I think he couldn't say something any dumber, he could go and totally redeem himself.) Safe to say that you are very much one of those fans and would get some of those items.
Old Style will be consumed. Hot dogs will be eaten. Lance Berkman will be made fun of. Fun will be had by all.
P.S. Who wouldn't want to go see a game with this guy? See the YouTube link below. Two words. Chick. Magnet. (Yes, that is me . . . eating a hot dog at PNC Park in 2010, accompanied by Caleb singing the national anthem by himself in eight-part harmony, recorded by me. What can I say, we might have been drunk. . .)
Posted 18 April 2012 - 02:01 PM
1. I will buy all your Old Styles as a thank you for the ticket and for running this blog.
2. If we talk about my job as an attorney, I will remind you why you made the right decision to leave the law and write this blog full time.
3. I love to sing and will belt out "Go Cubs Go!" with you after the Cubs win.
4. Despite attending a number of Cubs games, I've never had the opportunity to sit in the bleachers.
5. I hate the Cardinals.

While it is true that I'm very new to the Bleacher Nation family, I think that I've shown promise in the 5 (is it 5?) comments I've posted on your threads so far. As a Cubs fan, I've had to deal with plenty of terrible baseball these past 20 years, and this year I've decided that I'm going to be an optimist no matter what. Life's no fun being angry about baseball. This is wisdom that I can share to you, all at the price of a single ticket! Even if I don't get the ticket, that's cool too! That's a true optimist right there.
I work in a cubicle all day, which also provides me with intrinsic advantages for the "sitting in your general vicinity for a baseball game" position. My chair, frankly, isn't that comfortable. This has adequately prepared be for the rigors of bleacher seating, as evidenced by my attendance in the 2nd of 3 Cubs-Yankees games last year. I literally sat behind the scoreboard in that weird little area but my glutes were fine! Rest assured, I will not let you down in the sitting area; it's an area of my expertise (a great book, btw. I can share others!). I also, honestly, don't work that hard. Sure, I do my job, but I have plenty of time on my hands. I spend that time devouring baseball statistics. I'm no Voros McCracken or Clay Davenport, but I've got a decent knowledge of sabermetrics. I could teach you a few, which you could use at home to impress the ladies (chicks dig the Run Expectancy Matrix). As I'm only 24, I'm hardly qualified to speak at length about the near-misses of '84 and '45, but I assure the wounds inflicted by Alex Gonzalez and Brad Hawpe are still fresh. If you want to commiserate about those dark times to a knowing companion, look no further.
If a stranger had to describe me in 3 words, I bet those words would be pleasant, nice enough (if that's one word), and friendly. If you're going to meet up with and admit a total stranger to the ballpark, you can be assured that with me that person will be one with a clean criminal record and a proven history of being a pretty nice guy. I sing karaoke and play trivia on Thursdays (this is sounding like a personal ad. Sorry!) I drive my own car and listen to NPR on the way to work. If there was an amiability test, I'd pass.
In summary, I possess the qualities that you'd be looking for in a Personal Attendant of a Cubs Game. Please contact me anytime via email to discuss my passion, skills, and a position at Wrigley Field next week. I look forward to hearing your response.
Respectfully yours,

1. The cubs are 4-0 when I have appeared at the games, but given this year's team even with my mojo working that streak may come to an end.
2. I promise I wont gush over you about being an internet celebrity, I promise I wont even bring it up once.
3. I'm Korean and we all know that we need more diversity in the fan base along with some additional color commentary.

This was our 2nd stay at the Priory Inn which we enjoyed as before. The bedroom furniture is a little dated but clean and more than adequate & the bed... was very comfy. there were lovely handmade biscuits in the room. The only downside was the paint work on the banister which felt sticky. just needs a regular clean with some all purpose cleaner. Otherwise this is good hotel & we will probably visit again. od Angie od Plymouth dana 05-10-2013
