What scientific and technological milestones can we envision 50, 100 and 150 years hence?
Each month we have the luxury of being able to look back into the past, to what people were writing 50, 100 and 150 years ago. We can do this because Scientific American has put its readers at the forefront of science and technology for more than 167 years. To mention just one example, our October 1962 issue featured Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, explaining the meaning of this wondrous molecule, and psychologist Leon Festinger writing on what he meant by the term "cognitive dissonance."
A strong past is a good foundation from which to look into the future. In that spirit, we asked our authors to train their imaginations on what the world might look like 50, 100 and 150 years from now. Will cars fly? Will we still have computers, and if so, what will they do? Will nuclear weapons be banished? Will our technology save us from a changing climate or make things worse? What is the fate of tigers and other wild creatures on an increasingly crowded planet? To what extent will we master our genes to stave off disease? And if we ever leave this planet, how will the journey change us? In the following pages, you will find answers. Not the answers—we are not making predictions but rather doing thought experiments, grounded in science fact, with an eye to illuminating today's world and provoking thought about what comes next.

§ 50.7
Consent judgments in actions to enjoin discharges of pollutants.
It is hereby established as the policy of the Department of Justice to consent to a proposed judgment in an action to enjoin discharges of pollutants into the environment only after or on condition that an opportunity is afforded persons (natural or corporate) who are not named as parties to the action to comment on the proposed judgment prior to its entry by the court.
To effectuate this policy, each proposed judgment which is within the scope of paragraph (a) of this section shall be lodged with the court as early as feasible but at least 30 days before the judgment is entered by the court. Prior to entry of the judgment, or some earlier specified date, the Department of Justice will receive and consider, and file with the court, any written comments, views or allegations relating to the proposed judgment. The Department shall reserve the right (1) to withdraw or withhold its consent to the proposed judgment if the comments, views and allegations concerning the judgment disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the proposed judgment is inappropriate, improper or inadequate and (2) to oppose an attempt by any person to intervene in the action.
The Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Land and Natural Resources Division may establish procedures for implementing this policy. Where it is clear that the public interest in the policy hereby established is not compromised, the Assistant Attorney General may permit an exception to this policy in a specific case where extraordinary circumstances require a period shorter than 30 days or a procedure other than stated herein.

No matter what country her family was living in at the time, Longteine "Nyep" De Monteiro—the wife of a Cambodian diplomat—always heard the same thing when she served dinner at one of her lavish parties: "This is so good! You should open a restaurant!" It wasn't until the rise of the Khmer Rouge forced Longteine and her family to relocate to America that she began to seriously entertain the idea. Longteine finally opened The Elephant Walk in 1991, where she filled the menu with a mélange of her favorite Cambodian and French recipes.
Since then, Longteine's daughter Nasda and her son-in-law Gerard Lopez helped her expand The Elephant Walk to three locations. All three Elephant Walks separate their kitchens into French and Cambodian preparation lines, each staffed with chefs adept at both traditional and contemporary dishes. Each dish makes meticulous use of flavorful, wholesome ingredients such as ripe plum tomatoes, fresh tuna, Vermont goat cheese, and organic tofu. The Elephant Walk also serves up a host of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free variants.
The Elephant Walk loves to feed the mind as much as the mouth. During its regularly scheduled Cafe Science series, Brandeis professors deliver compelling lectures on a variety of topics from the Large Hadron Collider to explaining why science alone cannot turn water into chocolate milk. The restaurant has since given upwards of $200,000 to local, national, and international nonprofit organizations fighting poverty.
There are many ways to remove unwanted body hair, but very few methods are actually permanent. Elizabeth Kelly, electrologist and owner of Essential Skin Electrology & Day Spa, understands her clients' frustrations regarding hair that won't go away and works together with men and women to gently depilate even their most stubborn body areas. That level of attention also extends to her spa's other focuses, including skincare. In each service, aestheticians use Dermalogica or Pevonia Botanica products and deeply cleanse faces with more than a dozen different facials customized for dryness, signs of aging, or funny faces that eventually got stuck that way. They also whisk away stress with a handful of massages, each of which may be paired with a therapeutic essential oil.
C. Tsar's culinarians mingle ingredients in epicurean, Mediterranean-inspired fare in addition to arraying thin pizza crusts with gourmet toppings. From the menu, diners can clamp their chompers down on the golden trout, which is escorted by slivers of bacon and an entourage of whipped potatoes ($18). Like a slapstick comedian going through his morning routine, the potato gnocchi ($17) slathers itself in mushroom-cream sauce, freshens itself up with spinach, and stuffs slices of prosciutto into its pockets. Thin-crust pizzas include the margherita, which pedestals a tasty trinity of tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil ($10) and is perfect for slice-sharing with a good friend or long-lost parole officer.
Soft live jazz music fills B Street Restaurant & Bar while servers deliver platters such as pumpkin hummus with grilled naan, wild mushroom ravioli, and glasses of rosé sangria from the full bar. This confluence of cuisine, libations, and music has attracted the attention of Metro magazine. Proprietor and host Elli "Ellen" Kaplansky, credits her grandmothers for instilling in her a passion for food. She fuses this passion with her work experiences with celebrity chefs Todd English and Jody Adams when she chooses her menu of signature dishes such as the 10-ounce char-grilled burger with Vermont cheddar and skillet potatoes.
She also adds inventive twists to entrees such as the pan-seared local cod entree with fire-roasted tomatoes and fresh corn risotto, or the fire-grilled lamb chops with a balsamic cherry glaze. The dining area's cozy booths, tall tables, and a curved bar in tones of brown, orange, and red add warmth to the atmosphere, and the restaurant adds warmth to the community by reaching out to partner with local charities both financially and with a poker stick that stretches several city blocks.
Appetito's sleek, modern interior, with its burnished wood bar and polished windows, is indicative of the contemporary sensibilities with which its kitchen interprets classic Italian fare. Handmade pastas, fresh herbs, and seasonal heirloom vegetables furnish brunch, lunch, and dinner menus. On weekends, diners can sit down to a hearty brunch dish such as the challah french toast, which oozes with strawberries and rum-splashed bananas. During the week, the dining room hums with energy generated by tables chatting amicably and digging into five styles of focaccia paninis or savory pasta dishes, such as gnocchi polloi with mascarpone.
Mediterranean Grill's kitchen fires up traditional Mediterranean cuisine, crafting kebabs of seared lamb, beef, or chicken threaded with onions and peppers. Appetizers include creamy hummus, grape leaves stuffed with rice and veggies, and the mediterranean platter loaded with olives, grilled sausage, dolmas, and cheese pie, a combination of treats that most Santas prefer over cookies and milk.
The chefs at Café Nicholas adorn pizzas with one of three sauces before adding a heaping handful of toppings chosen from more than 30 options. Within the pizzeria's art deco-inspired walls, guests dig into 35 types of sandwiches, homemade pastas, and pizzas crowned with traditional and unique ingredients such as prosciutto, shrimp, and eggplant. For diners with gluten allergies, the cooks can substitute gluten-free crust for any of their pizzas. They also cater to low-fat tastes by serving up salads with low-cal dressings, frying appetizers in cholesterol-free canola oil, and pouring unlimited glasses of calorie-free water.

Utahceratops Debut
Cretaceous Utah was a strange place. Today's arid, sage- and juiper-covered badlands in the southern part of the state preserve the remnants of swampy prehistoric environments that sat along the coast of a vanished seaway. And these wet habitats were inhabited by an array of bizarre dinosaurs that paleontologists are still in the process of describing. Among the recent discoveries is Utahceratops gettyi, a roughly 76-million-year-old horned dinosaur that has just been put on display at the Natural History Museum of Utah. (Full disclosure: I am currently a paleontology volunteer at the museum.)
Even though the new Natural History Museum of Utah building opened last fall, the museum is still in the process of installing a few more fossil skeletons. Utahceratops is the latest to be added to the petrified cast, standing right next to the hadrosaurs Gryposaurus and Parasaurolophus. I was happy to see the dinosaur's skeleton come together in the exhibit last week. There was a full artistic reconstruction in the 2010 paper that described the dinosaur, but it's another thing altogether to see the dinosaur's reconstructed skeleton—posed as if to walk right off the museum's Cretaceous platform and head right out the door.

I'm quite surprised that no one in the lumpers' side of ceratopid systematics debate has yet considered Utahceratops as synonymous with Pentaceratops based on ontogeny.

Like President Obama said in a recent message, even the smallest moments can have the biggest impact in a child's life. Here are some more easy ways you can be involved:
Write a Note. Do you leave for work early? Write your child a note she'll find at breakfast time. Something as simple as "I hope you have a good day" will make her feel special.
Start a Ritual. Maybe it's bath time. Maybe you always read the bedtime story. Or maybe it's the hug you give when you first get in the door after work.
Be Affectionate. Yeah, you might feel awkward if hugging isn't your thing. But, your kids crave your affection. Hug, kiss, high five, have a tickle war - let them know you love them.

I often meet handy people, both men and women, who do not go near to anything electrical because they are frightened of electricity. It is good to have a strong respect for electricity. It is also good to know how to make basic electrical measurements around the home. A multi-meter is the tool every home ought have. They eliminate the guess work from so many things and can save a lot of money.
A suitable multi-meter for occasional use around the home and automobile can be had for less than $ 5. This link is to a very inexpensive meter that includes some functions found only on meters costing twenty times more just a few years ago. More expensive meters do not necessarily have more features. They give greater accuracy for professional work, and they are more rugged in their construction and durability.
Step 1: Will I electrocute myself?
The black probe is normally associated with the ground or negative terminal. The red probe is normally associated with the "hot" or positive terminal. For household uses illustrated in this Instructable you can ignore all of that and use either probe on any terminal.

I have seen some pocket meters like you describe. They would be great for what you describe. My brother gave me a basic Radio Shack meter that does not fold, but is about 3/4" x 1" x 6" with an insulated fixed probe on the front end and a wire lead near the front end. It is small enough to carry in a pocket case for eyeglasses. I have often taken it with me when I travel.
This also allows me to identify which cable connects to which device at friends homes when helping them connect TV, satellite or other antenna.
Thanks for a great Ible
Either which way, I'm off to do some soldering today and play with the multimeter to make an RFID arduino door lock!
I use my VOM to repair cameras all the time. Luckily, I'm dealing with pretty low voltages and amperages to make it absolutly safe. The only risks are when dealing with photo flash capacitors.
Que burst of light from flash and large electric shock. It was the biggest capacitor I'd seen at 11 years old, same size as an AA battery.
Most people might have stopped playing with it at this point, but I recharged it and said to my mate 'go-on, touch those two wires'
He didn't die and he learnt a life long lesson on what not to touch in electronics.
When I did this Instructable on using an electrical meter, I hoped people would take the basic things I showed and expand their usage to special purposes like yours.
If you have to open a breaker panel/bus box, BEFORE you open it, touch the door with the back of your hand. An electric shock will cause you muscles to contract so if, by chance there is a problem and the panel is HOT, the electric current will force your muscles to draw your hand AWAY from the hot panel. You will get a shock, but will live to tell about it.
Next, in choosing a multi-meter, get the highest category you can afford. The higher CAT rating the better protection if something goes wrong. The higher protection will help keep the multi-meter from exploding due to a power surge. CAT IV is the best option if you can afford it.
Finally try to hold the leads in ONE HAND when testing higher voltage circuits such as 110 AC. If something goes wrong only your hand will be affected. If you happen to be holding the leads one in each hand and there is a short, the path of least resistance is from one hand to the other and your heart just happens to be in that path.
I have a couple meters and I ofter use my Simpson analog meter for certain situations where a digital meter is not fast enough to register an electrical pulse such as in a fuel injector system.

Drawing using the grid.
For a drawing to look right the artist has to calculate distances and sizes of objects in relation to each other. Some can do this instinctively. For those of us who can't, a grid is useful to help get things in the right place.
A grid is a tool used to transfer a drawing from one place to another, and also can change the size of the drawing. (It's scale).
You draw a grid over your source image and using the points where the picture intersects the grid, transfer it to a grid drawn on your painting surface.
This is how I do it.
Getting organised.
The first thing is to draw a grid onto your computer and save it.
Take a drawing program, ( If you don't have one it's easy to find a basic one on the net,) and draw the grid. It's up to you how large you draw it, sometimes a little trial and error is needed.
Draw the grid the same as the one in the painting editor, that is 4 squares by 4 squares with every fourth line being a different colour. For convenience, I make the grid on my computer cover the size of an A4 piece of paper.
I've drawn my grid with the lines spaced 5mm by 5mm.
Once it's been saved, you don't need to draw one again and it can be used for every painting you wish to do. Simply load up your grid, then import the picture you wish to use and insert it under the grid.
Resize your source image so it's a handy size to work with. As a rule of thumb, the grid on the vinyl editor is 4 large squares high and 10 large squares wide, so this is an ideal size to use for your drawing. You can make your source image bigger if more detail is needed and later I'll give a method of working with a drawing larger than the vinyl editor.
Now crop the drawing with the grid and save using a different file name and print it off. Now you have your subject with a grid printed over it.
Now to the vinyl editor.
The built in grid can't be scaled, so you need to draw your own grid over it. Also, I'm finding that it's too faint to see easily.
Use the community shape 2-5 and put it on the editor. It will be positioned 0.00 x 0.00. Size it so the width is 0.10 and increase the height till it reaches the top and bottom of the editor. Colour it. I prefer red, but whatever works for you. Stamp it and change the colour. I use black. Now move this layer to the right 25 points. It will read y = 0.00 x = 25.00. Stamp it again and move another 25 points. Its now x = 50.00. Stamp it again and move to 75.00. Stamp again and move to 100.00. Change the colour to red again. Stamp this, change the colour back to black and move to 125.00. Repeat this pattern till you get to the edge of the editor. Then go back to the original layer and repeat the whole process, this time going left -25.00, -50.00, -75.00, -100.00, etc till you get to the opposite edge of the editor. All your vertical lines are now drawn.
Go back to the original layer, stamp it and rotate it till it's at 90.00º, increase the length till it reaches both sides of the editor and repeat the previous process, this time moving the y direction in increments of 25.00. Go up then down till the whole grid is drawn. You should use about 70 – 80 layers for this, depending if you go to the extreme edge or not. Group all and save. Grid is a good name.
There are two ways to load this onto the vinyl editor. The first is to go to " Create Vinyl Group " and choose " Load Vinyl Group. " Don't use this method, it will place the grid in the wrong position. The best method is to go to " My Vinyl Groups " and open it from there. This method places your grid over the grid supplied with the editor.
That's it, and because all the laborious work has been completed and saved, you don't have to go through all this every time you start a new painting.
Now you are ready to start your drawing.
Transferring your picture onto the Livery Editor.
Work under the grid. To do this apply a shape to the empty layer at the end. Cut it, then paste under the grid by selecting the layer that has the grid group and insert by pressing Y. You don't need to do this every time you make a new layer under the grid. Select a layer above or below where you want to insert the new shape and either paste it or copy and insert it. To change it go to the menu and choose " change vinyl shape ".
Really, every thing's in place now and you can just start drawing. For example, you're drawing an eye. Note the position of the eye elements in relation to the grid that's drawn over them, then draw then on the livery editor in relation to the grid there. eg. note the pupil, and where it intersects grid lines and how large it is in relation to the grid, and with a bit of fiddling round with shapes, sizes and skewing, you can replicate it on the editor.
That's how I did it for years, now, but it can get complicated. Especially when drawing large curves or shapes. They cover large areas of the grid and keeping track of all the intersecting points can stress the brain a bit. Remember, you're not actually drawing a line, you're using the edge of a shape to define the line. It's easy if there are unlimited layers to use, but layer management is a big part of using the editor, so it's much more efficient to use as less layers as possible. Choosing the perfect shape, size and skew, is taxing and all the time you are trying to keep track of all the grid points the shapes have to hit for the drawing to look right.
I have now simplified this process out of the equation, keeping track of all the grid points. I can now use more of my concentration on choosing the best shape for the job at hand.
The method I use is simply, connect the dots. I insert a circle shape into the editor over the grid I've drawn. Then I resize so it's really small, say 0.05 x 0.05 and put it at the start of a line I want to draw. Stamp it and move it to the next place where the drawing intersects the grid, stamp it again and move to the next intersecting point. Continue this till the drawing is mapped out, and it's done. I'm left with a series of dots that define the drawing and now can choose shapes and manipulate them to intersect all the dots. Connect the dots. Easy.
It's a bit mechanical and repetitive laying down all the dots, but apart from the time it takes it's not hard, and the pay off comes at the end, when the drawing is very quick and accurate.
Resizing the drawing.
Most of the time, the drawing on the livery editor is too small to get everything in place accurately. Make things bigger. Resize.
There's a couple of things to keep track of here. The first is to remember to select everything, including the grid, when changing the size.
The second is to be careful when resizing to choose the right size. Anything you blow up, you eventually want to bring back to the original size to match it back to the grid on the livery editor. Simply ungrouping a group, and then regrouping it, resets the size to 1.00. There are only two sizes to use when increasing the scale of your drawing. That is 200% ( 2.00 ) and 400% ( 4.00 ). Any other size will make it very difficult to set the drawing back to it's original aspect.
When the drawing is increased 200% and worked on, the size is reset to 1.00. To take it back, decrease it to 50% ( 0.50 ). Likewise, when increasing it to 400%, use a reduction of 25% ( 0.25 ) to return it to its original size. It's important to be able to maintain the original size so the drawing can always be positioned on the livery editor grid. This is important when you want to move the drawing in relation to the grid if the drawing is larger than the livery editor page.
Most of the time, I like to work with the drawing sized to 200%. This works well with the grid in the livery editor. At this scale, one square of your drawn grid covers four squares if the editor grid. This means, not only is it a larger size to see easily but the game grid conveniently gives a mid point on each square. Very handy when trying to find a point that is not on the grid line. Which always seems to be at the start or finish of a line, or when a curve takes an unexpected direction mid grid.
Moving a picture in relation to the grid.
If the drawing is larger than the grid then leaving the grid in place and moving the drawing under it is a good solution to keeping the part being worked on in the workable. This is quite often the case when working on a tall drawing.
You still need to keep the drawing in place with reference to its position on the grid, though. To keep it in place with the grid, I place a cross or x onto the drawing lined up with a grid intersection. Select everything, except the grid and move the whole lot into position, making sure the mark lines up in the correct place.
A sticky is indeed in order.
Excellent job thus far Glassman!
Currently training my drivatar to walk back to the pits.
awesome tutorial Glass,
i was always wondering how you get your cartoon paints so accurate. thanks for sharing your way of painting. if i paint a cartoon i will try out the way you do things.
Thanks again Tim
Good stuff mate!
Great tut, i use the grid in Photoshop, having my laptop in front of me while i'm painting... Doing that i can match my onscreen colours, with the onscreen colours, which is easier then trying to match to a printed source.
I really like seeing these threads pop up, really giving back to the community guys!! Awesome!
greyfox82092: Favorited. Awesome tip! This will possibly make my designs easier to do, as I have something in mind for my favorite car. Mostly, I still encounter issues with shading, but I hope to get better! Any tips for this?
Yes. First thing is have a good read of the tutorial by QK TimmyFlush, here He has done an excellent job of showing shading being applied to a drawing.
The second thing is make use of the gradients. They are perfect for shading as they have soft edges. Try them all to see what effects you can get from them. Explore the two pages at the front of the shapes selection, the community shapes. There are some excellent new gradients there.
Third; In Forza 4, I rarely turn the transparency down to blend in gradients, instead I use the colour editor to finely adjust colour tones between layers to blend the shading.
Forth; Where gradients produce hard edges. mask them using the circle gradients.
Hieronymus1967: A sticky is indeed in order. Excellent job thus far Glassman!
Thank you for that Hieronymus.
I get so much out of this game and am just pleased to have the opportunity to be part of the community by giving something back in my own small way.
QK TimmyFlush: awesome tutorial Glass,i was always wondering how you get your cartoon paints so accurate. thanks for sharing your way of painting. if i paint a cartoon i will try out the way you do things. Thanks again Tim
Thanks, Tim.
I don't just use this type of grid for cartoons, I use it for everything. I think we both have the same sort of problem with a grid...they can get too complicated to be workable at times.
Your solution is to draw a simplified grid, customised to your particular drawing, and my solution is to find a way to simplify the standard grid.
Two different approaches to the same dilemma, which is really a good thing showing there is no right or wrong way to approach painting.
SnakeEyes Friex: Great tut, i use the grid in Photoshop, having my laptop in front of me while i'm painting...

I really like seeing these threads pop up, really giving back to the community guys!! Awesome!
Good tip, thanks Snake Eyes. The printed image always seems to be a different colour, and we tend to paint what we see.
Thanks for your input. I always enjoy your work ( in fact picked up Harlequin the other day ) and am always amazed at how fast you produce a car.
Hi glassman, i have enjoyed this tutorial that you have put up and am glad it is being received by the community very well, i also view the advanced and other paint threads and am glad to see many artists share their experiences. I would like to expand and provide other artists a few other ideas which i feel are great tools and techniques for people to use and is information i share with my friends all the time.
My path and obsession to recreate an image led me down the same road, i utilise the grid and also use at times the same dot technique you do. So first, the way i make my grids (after many different trials) is i google an image of the same size grid as the editor, i would print that onto paper, then i would put that paper back in the printer and do a very light fast draft print of my source image over the top. It is a quick way to not need to create your own grid as in the beginning even creating just the grid can be daunting.
The way i do the dot method you use is the same, with my "gridded" source image in hand, i would go back and forth and place dots, mainly where the key proportions needed to be and a lot of the time to aid me in working out how deep or shallow a curve would be.
Many hours of these techniques (i clock somewhere over the 300 hours in the editor on pure shape manipulation alone) made me discover a few other ways to get these poiints of interest done much faster and accurately.
In a basic sense, one of the strongest tools i can recommend to painters wanting to recreate a source is to sticky tape your source image to the screen and trace underneath it. When describing this to others, it does not sound magical or very creative but there can be a huge amount of creative freedom in this technique because how far and into what detail you "trace" an image is up to the artist creating it. I will share some of the best ways to do this that i have learnt.
Now, with sticky taping a source to a screen. For images that are simple and of one or two colours, you print it out in fast draft (cheaper to print), edit the image to be either in only light colours or all dark colours (one or the other) because if it is only light colours, you can apply dark shapes in the editor that you can see through the paper, with dark images, you can see light shapes underneath (i hope that doesnt confuse anyone).
For images that are complex and/or complex in the colour scheme, how you tackle those is up to your imagination. You can print it out in smaller section, you can edit the image to be simpler on pc before hand to then reprint, though the easiest way if not wanting to modify your source, is simply to create the dot scheme (or similar that highlights points of interest) described in glassmans original post. Only trace some parts, the key features you need or have trouble doing by eye. What you get left with, will look rough, or be a dotty mess but that is when you take the source guide off, zoom in and let your creativity flow in turning it into something you like, having a very strong guide to where everything needs to be.
My personal preference for anything complex using a taped guide, is to draw it first by hand and on pc. I use both a digital pen and a paint editing program (paint.net i use, its free as well) and i draw how i want it to look. In doing this, i can simplify areas i know i have trouble with and it also gives me a much better idea (having hand drawn the shapes) how i will transfer the image into the forza editor.
With the image i have drawn in the pc, i do two prints, the first i print uncoloured in only black ink, this is the main one i use to trace over to get it into the editor. The second is a coloured version, this one i use as my colour guide that i only put near the screen when i need to colour match sections. Getting to this stage feels great, as the guide i am using at this point is something i have drawn by hand and is in a format that is very easy to reproduce in the editor.
As long as the source you have printed is in one colour, regular a4 paper should do ok (you will see your shapes underneath). This way, your source image should only cost about a cent to have the guide. You can go all out and trace it by hand on tracing paper and then tape tracing paper to the screen, it does make things easier but then your image guides start to sit around 20 or 30 cents a page.
I hope this post doesnt look too long (if you want me to shorten it glassman i can edit it) and i have described some more information on the techniques i use that can help other artists. Esentially, these are all methods to recreate,copy,trace a source. However you want to call it, these techniques help, they can be very powerful and what you do with them as an artist is up to you.
I'd like to also note, that these source guides do open up a lot of creativity. If you try tracing something complex, sure you can get it perfect, if you want to spend 30 hours to trace a small vinyl that is. I can guarantee after trying that depth of detail once, your imagination and creativity will take over and you will only use it as intended, a guide to help you get the proportions and curves a bit more acurate. That way you can use that 30 hours to work on your layouts instead haha.
Anyways, good luck to all and hope to chat to some of you someday in a race with our favourite paints to show off.
Glass, brilliant tutorial & thanx for taking the time once again
The dot method is new to me, makes sense though & i'll have to give it a try. . . only for photoreal as i'm confident enough with cartoon images to do them by eye. I like the tips on resizing to 200 or 400% & also placing an X to keep the grid position isn't something i would've thought of. Oh yeah, kudos on the tip about loading the grid from My Vinyl Groups rather than Create Vinyl Group - i had to check, LoL
GlassMan NZ:
Use the community shape 2-5 and put it on the editor. It will be positioned 0.00 x 0.00. Size it so the width is 10.0
I'm probably going to embarrass myself here but this is the only thing i didn't quite understand. . . to get my grid lines looking anywhere near yours i used x = 0.25 Feel free to point out any glaring mistake i might've made (i'm sure i used the correct shape though, LoL) i'm going to have to dig out my old printer at some point & see if i can put yours & Timmy's advice to good use.
skilled inc.
First; please don't shorten your post. In fact, thank you for taking the time to write out such a detailed description of your methods. As I posted before, there is no right way or wrong way to paint on Forza, and what matters is what works for you, The whole idea of a tutorial is to offer people who are interested in learning, as many options as possible, and I'm sure every single painter on these forums does things differently. Either slightly or completely.
On the light side, my TV cost about $1,000, and my wife visibly pales every time the grandkids come round and put their sticky little fingers on the screen. In the interest of our marriage, I don't think it would be wise for me to be sticking bits of tape on it. lol. But I have heard that that method works very well.

Sorry, that's a typo on my side. The width should be x = 0.10.
A note on that; that's probably the minimum width. You can make it thicker and that's why 0.25 works for you. If the width is set below 0.10, the completed grid tends to disappear while a shape is moved over the editor fast using the stick. It re appears when you stop moving. but you're a bit blind till you stop, making achieving the mark a hit or miss affair. The grid doesn't disappear when moving a shape using the directional pad, but that's too slow for larger distances.
Hope that helps. Let me know if it's still as clear as mud. lol.
Oh yeah, don't forget. You don't really need a printer. As with Timmy, a set square and pencil will do the same job, just a bit slower.
CPT JPMorgan: This makes things much easier for a complete novice like myself. Thank you! Quick question though... how do you resize the drawing/zoom in to 200% or so like you were saying? And what is the max size you can make a vinyl? Is it better to make it as large as possible, then shrink it when you add to the car, etc? I'm just wondering if what your talking about is making the image larger against a smaller grid so you can get more detail or what. Sorry, like I said... Im a complete noob. (This is actually the first picture I've attemped)
To zoom in 200%, go to 'edit selected layers' by choosing a layer and pressing 'A'. Choose 'highlight all layers. Go back to 'edit selected layers' again and choose 'position highlighted layers'. Move over to the 'size' menu. The size will / should read 1.00. Increase it to 2.00 for a zoom of 200% and 4.00 for a zoom pf 400%.
So, when you're zooming in, keep the grid with the drawing. Everything will expand and that keeps the ratios together.
The lager your drawing is on the editor, the more accurate your layers will line up.
Size = 4.00 is really the largest you need and anything above that makes shrinking the drawing back to the size editor grid almost impossible, unless you're a scientist working on the Hedron Accelerator.
Size = 2.00 is the handiest for me.
Note; It's very easy to reset the size of groups. Simply un grouping a group, then re grouping it will re set the size to 1.00. When you are working on a drawing that's been zoomed 200% (size 2.00), the size will be re set to 1.00 when you highlight all layers. To bring it back to original size it needs to be resized to size = 0.50.
It's OK to save a drawing at this size, as it's the default size on the editor. When applied to a car, the vinyl group will have to be reduced. If you need it small on the car, it might be better to do the final save at size = 0.50. That way you have more control when getting down to small sizes on the car. The smaller a vinyl group on the car, the less definition it will have.
OK, I think I am over examining this, or something.
I have been trying to do a design for my Fairlady, but I am not sure if I have done this right.
I am also a perfectionist, and want it to look right the first time. If I PM you the source pic GlassMan, could you help me out? I am using Photoshop, CS5 if that helps.

When You Lose a Job
When you are doing a regular job, it is pretty easy to recognize if you are fired. In that case the outcome is easily visible. One fine day you may reach you work place and your college or the boss tell you that you are fired. But that is not the case with freelancers. In a freelance job you are never told that you have been fired rather you have to wait for a lot of time to know about it.
Actually it depends on how much time have you spend working for that client and after what interval you work for him. If you work for him on daily basis then you will get to know about it after a week or so. But if you work for him after a week interval, you will face the reality after a month. Read more →

I think this was a residential hotel turned into a "boutique" hotel. Hallways and lobby are a bit off-putting with fluorescent lights and pipes running through the hallway ceilings. Since there are many rooms with shared baths, there is a bit of an institutional feel (doors marked "shower #3, etc.). There was a community kitchen on my floor right off the elevator. So it felt very hostel like. That being said, once in the room it was quiet and comfortable, if a bit spartan.
Location was fabulous. La Boulange was close to the hotel, and its a wonderful place for coffee, snacks and desserts. Internet worked fine in the hotel.
Lot of street noise made sleep difficult.
The first view of the exterior gives one initial hope that one is about to stay in a quaint boutique hotel. Soon disappointment ensured. We did like the sound the old time sliding metal grill of the vintage elevator. And, the men who worked shifts behind the front desk were genuinely pleasant and helpful. The location is great!
The tiny, featureless and dimly lit room had a sink in the corner, a chair, a bed and a television. Their were pillows on the bed, but they were virtually two dimensional. The scratchy blanket was of a material that had certainly absorbed bodily fluids of previous guests. The room was stuffy, so we thought to open the window, but paused when we noticed what appeared to be the belongings of an absent homeless person stored on the fire escape. The shared toilet, in a tiny room off the hallway, lacked a sink.
Location is good and price competitive. Staff is helpful
Old building and facilities. Toilet in the room was constantly clogged. A lot of noise on the floor during the night.
great location, friendly staff, room was clean
common toilet was blocked, room was small
Location perferc. Staff very good
Usually I dont write reviews. Usually I simply fill out few questions because I consider it sufficient...well in case of park hotel, I have to add some infos...well, definitely one of the very worst places we have ever been to. It is a junky den. My wife found (in a dusgusting stinky dirty shared bathroom with no wahbasin) used styringe (which was luckily on the very last day of our stray). The place is dirty, smells bad, has old stained carpet, on the second day we moved to another room on 5th floor becasue our washbasin was plugged..well, not a good move at all. At appr. 2 am in the room right next to us sex marathon had started and appr at 4 am great rap music was on. What a show. Next day we accept the idea of plugged drain and moved back to 3rd floor for the rest of the time. For 3 nights we paid 370 usd which is considerable amount of money for such a place but unfortunately reasonable price for san fran on the other hand. Next time, if there is next time (san fran amazing city with tons of homeless and weird psycho people probably on lsd talking to themselves and intimidating the others includind tourists), I will gather some extra money and pick something more comfortable, more safe.
One block from Union Square, amazing city central location. Very friendly and accommodating staff.
Crazy front office hours, make arrangements with them early if you need a strange check in/out time.
Smells bad Comunity bathroom & toilet Got 1 night via booking at the same day for 105$ Window view is a wall! Will not return!
There was nothing that we liked about this hotel
Upon arrival I thought I don't know about this place but after arriving in our room I could not wait to leave. The room was dreary with paint peeling and cracks in the walls. The toilet and bathroom you could not swing a cat in and the room and hallway smelt disgusting. We decided that there was no way we were going to spend any time there and quickly managed to find somewhere else to stay. The only good thing about the whole experience is that they did give us a full refund.
Location was really good for Downtown San Francisco. Fine if you are expecting a hostel.
There weren't any hand basins in the bathrooms to wash your hands. The maids were really noisy in the morning banging in the kitchen and when they came to clean our room they asked us to leave as we had popped back during the day. Expensive for a hostel despite the location.
Price Friendly staff Close to union square
It was old
Is has a great location.
Sink is outside in the bedroom. It doesn't have air conditioning. Cleanliness cool be better.
Park Hotel was cheap and clean and in the middle of the city where I wanted to be.
The atmosphere is hostel like- I got the feeling that people were quasi living there.
Nothing....we went to anther hotel!!!!!!
Pic is not correct rooms were bad and it stinks
Location, clean room and bathroom, very helpful staff, comparatively low rate in expensive city.
On the front it's noisy, the curtaining is not good so allows light and noise in the room. The elevator operation is unnecessarily difficult particularly when trying to manoeuvre baggage.
Excellent location, close to the financial district. Clean room. It has a laundry and a kitchen that come quite handy.
The bed had seen better days. Our room was facing to a noisy back alley.
I basically needed a place for one night, so I didn't need a lot of frills. For the price, the Park Hotel was a great value; near the BART. Appreciated the in-room fridge.
Layout of sink and bathroom was a little awkward, no in-room iron, and few outlets.
The location is perfect and so affordable. The room was very basic but that was all I needed. My bed was comfortable and clean and I had a friend stay with me so they kindly put in another bed and didn't charge me extra as it was my birthday! The staff were friendly and helpful and I would stay here again! Thank you!
Very central, quiet place, nice staff
Shower loud like an alarm by puting on the water! Little old
Location. Front desk staff very helpful.
No a /c so could not close windows. Very noisy. Linens could use an upgrade. Strange smell in lift and hallways. Limited channels in television. No telephones in rooms.
The room was very basic, but clean and tidy. Shared bathroom and shower room were clean as well. Very friendly stuff, safe environment.
The windows are very old and so there's noise coming from the street all night long, even if I was on the 5th and last floor. The hotel overall smells a bit moldy, but nothing unbearable.
Location , personal , good service
Very good location
No Internet connection In case that you come with car, you have to calculate additional cost for parking your car in close garage- ca.34 USD/day

It's Leap Day! That magical day that comes only once every four years, when we get to make up for the fact that it actually takes the Earth 365 and a quarter days to revolve around the sun by tacking a whole extra day onto the end of February. (Happy birthday, Jerry Gergich!)
In keeping with Leap Day tradition, we here at Workman are celebrating by:
- taking leaps—i.e. doing things we wouldn't usually do.
- taking leaps—i.e. jumping over one another like frogs.
But—sorry—we're not about to show you footage of us leap frogging around the office. So instead, check out these champion Leap Froggers! Eric and Ryan Buffet of Aiken, South Carolina, broke the world record for Most Tandem Leap Frogs in 30 Seconds. The previous record, set by two unknown jumpers at Burning Man, was 25. We think Leap Day William would be proud!
To read about more amazing records, pick up a copy of The Record Setter Book of World Records. And to find more records that are just itching to be broken, visit RecordSetter.com.

I've heard so much lately about new vaccines coming on the market, but I'm reluctant to get my son any shots that he doesn't really need. How do I know which ones he really should get? - Graham
To protect them from a number of potentially serious diseases, kids should receive all the vaccinations recommended for them by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and other immunization authorities.
Some parents choose not to vaccinate or only partially vaccinate their children — sometimes for safety concerns and other times for financial reasons. But new vaccines are licensed and recommended only after being thoroughly studied. And safety monitoring continues even after a vaccine has been approved.
If cost is an issue, kids can receive inexpensive or free vaccines through local public health clinics or community health centers. Prior to the start of school, state regulations differ regarding which vaccines are required.
If you have questions or concerns about which vaccines your son should receive, talk to your doctor.

I think I have carpal tunnel in my R wrist and lately it has been acting up.
how does climbing affect this? anyone have carpal tunnel & climb? any tips?
I have the keyboard tray and have started using the mouse w left hand already a while ago. Still flares up.
I need to just quit my job I think.
reboyles wrote:Every time I start feeling too much wear and tear from any single activity I switch to something new that uses other parts of my body. As an example, I used to run but now I only walk (hike). I biked (both mountain and road) until my wrists couldn't take it anymore, gave it up and took up ice skating of all things. I never climb indoors anymore, only in the mountains. I figure if I'm wearing parts out I'm not going to waste them practicing. I'd much rather burn myself out on a real climb than on some indoor wall.
I've used all of the exercises mentioned above and they really help as long as I don't over do it. When that happens it feels like someone is poking a hot metal rod in my wrists for a couple of days along with numbness. Nothing but stopping whatever it is I'm doing will help at that point.

Subaru Rally Team USA's David Higgins and Craig Drew are off to a phenomenal start in their 2012 Subaru WRX STI at the Sno*Drift Rally. Unseasonably warm daytime temperatures exacerbated the difficulty imposed by the already icy roads. Sand and slush on top of ice forced teams to take a cautious approach or risk damage in the unforgiving road edges, which are lacking their usual snowy cushion.
After the first leg of five stages, SRT USA #75 had an early 1 minute and 47 second lead over rivals Antoine L'Estage and Nathalie Richard. As testament to the severity of the road conditions, Higgins explained, "we had two spins on the last stage and probably lost about 25-30 seconds overall. It's just so slippy—unbelievable really." While the spins on SS9 stripped a bit of time away from their lead, Higgins and Drew won nine of twelve stages and ended the day comfortably, a minute and a half ahead of the competition.
With 70 stage miles remaining, teams still have over half of the rally to go. The weather forecast is predicting an inch or two of precipitation overnight, which may improve grip. Regardless of any slight traction increase, the roads will be very slippery and drivers will be exercising extreme caution. With the incredible performance the team achieved on their BFGoodrich tires today, it is apparent that SRT USA is equipped to deal with whatever conditions they'll face tomorrow.

Daily deals: a dream or a nightmare?
As a daily deal addicted, I think it was about time to write about it.
Lately, I've been reading many articles about companies that offer daily discounts like Groupon or Living Social. I have to say that I have purchased a few coupons myself and I love my discounts!
However, a great opportunity for a small business to leverage the online world can become a nightmare.
Recently, I purchased a coupon to get a massage (I need to relax from time to time) and when I call to booked my appointment, I got an anxious assistant on the phone confirming that they were fully booked until January!
When I check the deal page I realized that they had sold more than 300 coupons. 300 for an hour massage. That means 300 hours of work plus the appointments they already had in their agenda.
Let's do the maths: they open 8 hours a day, 6 days a week = 48 hours a week = 192 hours a month + extra appointments – holidays = I'm fully booked for almost 3 months!
What are the consequences? A frustrated potential customer that will probably forget about the coupon after a couple of months. If you lose that customer once, you may lose him/her forever plus the retail selling opportunity (all the extra things you can sell to the customers when they visit).
And I haven't finished… what about those 3 months of intense, unexpected and unorganized activity?
And what about your social reputation?? What's is going to happen when all these discount seekers visit you, obtain a bad service and they post a terrible review in Yelp, Urbanspoon or any other site?
I could read this words in The Globe & Mail a few days ago:
"Researchers found offering a Groupon correlated with a bump in business for most companies and also an increase in Yelp reviews. But they also found a company's star rating declined after it offered a Groupon. In general, those companies with reviews that mentioned the words "Groupon" or "coupon" had star ratings 10 per cent lower, on average, than those that did not."
So what's the conclusion?
If you're a business owner, go ahead and use the discount sites to promote your business. But please, be reasonable. You can participate almost as often as you want so the first time you try don't go crazy and offer only what you can really handle! Remember that you need to continue to offer an amazing customer service. Don't ever forget about that.
If you're a discount seeker, enjoy the discount!

Lynn University Invites Tweeters To "Lounge" Around During Debate
Lynn University students are rolling out the digital red carpet for political watchers in advance of the last Presidential Debate of 2012.
The small Boca Raton university is hosting the final face-off between President Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney on Monday, October 22nd.
Lynn spokesman Joshua Glanzer says the university enlisted a core group of student volunteers to interact with Twitter and Facebook users within the school's new Social Media Lounge.
"That will be a nearly 24-hour operation from Friday to Tuesday of people focusing just on social media," says Glanzer. " And making sure that they reach out to students or anyone else who's engaged on the platforms around the debate."
Lynn University student volunteers are also harnessing Tumblr, Foursquare, Instagram and Google + as a way of engaging debate audiences.
And WLRN is taking the Florida Roundup to Lynn University the Friday before the debate, for a Presidential Debate Special, hosted by Phil Latzman. That's this coming Friday, October 19th. You can reserve a seat for the Florida Roundup debate special at Lynn now.

A regular expression (or RE) specifies a set of strings that matches it; the functions in this module let you check if a particular string matches a given regular expression (or if a given regular expression matches a particular string, which comes down to the same thing).
Regular expressions can be concatenated to form new regular expressions; if A and B are both regular expressions, then AB is also an regular expression. If a string p matches A and another string q matches B, the string pq will match AB. Thus, complex expressions can easily be constructed from simpler ones like the primitives described here. For details of the theory and implementation of regular expressions, consult almost any textbook about compiler construction.
A brief explanation of the format of regular expressions follows.
Regular expressions can contain both special and ordinary characters. Ordinary characters, like 'A', 'a', or '0', are the simplest regular expressions; they simply match themselves. You can concatenate ordinary characters, so 'last' matches the characters 'last'. (In the rest of this section, we'll write RE's in this special font, usually without quotes, and strings to be matched 'in single quotes'.)
Special characters either stand for classes of ordinary characters, or affect how the regular expressions around them are interpreted.
The special characters are:
If you want to include a ] inside a set, it must be the first character of the set; to include a -, place it as the first or last character.
Characters not within a range can be matched by including a ^ as the first character of the set; ^ elsewhere will simply match the '^' character.
The special sequences consist of '\' and a character from the list below. If the ordinary character is not on the list, then the resulting RE will match the second character. For example, \$ matches the character '$'. Ones where the backslash should be doubled in string literals are indicated.
