Drawn to Conclusions
where is the article :S
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! The contents of your article have been in dire need of public digestion for the past decade. In our society of new trends and movements that must be classified and given a catchy name,each new advance ends up being cast as the mortal enemy of its immediate predecessor. As artists we should acknowledge and respect all of the tools at our disposal, and be aware that they are here for us to be creative with- traditional or digital.....
8 years later, I'm proven right: Disney is back doing 2D features with "The Princess and the Frog". Now the box office will tell if they'll do more!
Splendid article.
Regardless of the tools and techniques used, the final output is ultimately an expression of the story in graphic form - and whether the artist's hand is holding a pen, brush, or a mouse and keyboard, it is still performing essentially the same operation: re-creating mental imagery in a physical medium.
i believe that as long as there are children or children at heart, there will always be the need and the desire to see simple and colorful shapes animated on screen, with all the crazy distortions and zany expressions that can only be accomplished by the technique of traditional animation.
When the camera was introduced did we stop painting? No, the advent of photography set artists free from painting portraits and historical accounts to explore new techniques and schools of thought. To say that CGI will ever replace "old school" animation is a short sighted statement.
Have you ever sat in a diner or park to draw, people are drawn to you, they want to see what you are drawing. When I draw in public people approach me with big smiles on their faces and they almost always say "I use to be able to draw, when I was little." 2D animation takes people back to their childhood when they could draw. Every time someone tells me that, I am happy to know that I was able to keep that part of my childhood.
I work in a studio where we use both 2D and 3D animation and both artists are very talented, but most 3D artists tend to over look the benefits that 100 years of production can teach them. One of the most important benefits is timing. 2D animators have timing and lip sinc down to a science, and yet in my experience this is one of the first things overlooked and then struggled with.
Untrained or pooly trained 3D artists seem to be looking for the easy way out, looking for some hardware or software to solve the problems of animation, but in my opinion that is what animation is all about, the process. The bottem line is always time and money, but take the time to enjoy the problems involved in animation and plow throw a stack of drawings or whatever problem is in front of you, that is why I love animation, the process.
One advantige 2D has over 3D, I never worry about the power going out, or file corruption, as long as I can see I can still draw!
Soon CG animated features will cost orders of magnitute less than their hand drawn counterparts to make.
The main driver in which animated movie will be a winner will always be the quality of the story and characters. That having
been said, at the rate hardware and 3D Animation software are improving; soon one or two man/woman teams will be
able to make "Toy Story" quality animations using nothing more than a couple of PC's and off the shelf software, which is an investment well under $10,000.00. No need for armies of animators or programmers to write custom code.
A common mistake when an entirely new art form is born is to compare it to art forms that it seems to resemble. As the years progress it will be evident that Computer Graphics is an art form that far surpasses what traditional animation, film making, and interactive games have done. It will
certainly have elements that can be compared to those fields but it's a much more broader form of expression. The tools of traditional animation or film making have not changed much in the last 100 years when you compare them to the amount of change that's going on in the field of
Computer Graphics. We are in the infancy of this art form. It's like in the 70's they would compare computer chips
and CPU's to the Abecus and mechanical calculators and debate much like we are doing here whether the computer would
eventually replace those calculators. No one could see the impact of the computer in the fields of medicine, automobiles,
space travel, the human genome project, SETI, your ATM cards, music, GPS, Cell phones etc. With Computer Graphics
we are witnessing the birth of an entirely new art form, it will soon stand on it's own two feet and no longer need to be justified or compared to other forms. These arguments are similar to the ones that were presented when photography
was first introduced.
Anyone with half a brain should realize there is no 2D versus 3D. Folks have been trying to stir the pot since the mid 80's of the last century.
The computer is a tool; plain and simple and in the context of animated films - it's an ARTISTIC TOOL. People can fool themselves all they want. They need 2D to do 3D AND they need to draw and develop - it's what the industry wants.
Folks who try to "get over" by depending on their boxes are doomed to reside in them - forever.
CGI will not kill drawn animation for the simple reason that it is only another style of animation. In the same way plasticine (Chiken Run) Cut-outs (South Park), paint on glass (Old Man and the Sea). It has to do more with the script, guest voices and the quality of the artists who work on the film.

Another H&R revolver ID request
It seems as though this is the place to be for help on identifying an old H&R revolver. An older gentleman gave this to me today for helping him out with a few things. He said it doesn't work and wasn't doing him any good. He also mentioned that it belonged to his uncle or great uncle and that he carried it with him during WWI. I thought that was a pretty neat story even it it's not completely true. I have no reason to doubt him but you know how stories change over the years. Anyway, I'd like to get this back in working condition and give it back to him. I'm in need of some parts but need to lock down the ID of this gun first. I'm hoping one of you can help me out.
From what I can gather it's a pre-20th century gun and it looks like a 2nd model 1st variation. Is that correct? I assume this is a black powder gun and not safe to shoot with modern ammunition. The cylinders measure .390 leading me to guess it's a 38. There are no caliber markings at all on the entire gun. I've included some pictures and hope it helps in IDing it. As far as parts go I need to locate the part that I've been calling an ejector actuator. It's the round wasther looking part that should have an arm on it that pushes the ejector upward as you break open the revolver. Not sure of the correct name. I had been thinking of replacing the hammer as well but on second thought I think I may leave it as is so noone tries to shoot this thing. Apparently someone with a dremel and a lot of enthusiasm decided to grind those 2 parts up real good. Needless to say they are both ruined. Any help in where to find these parts would be much appreciated as well. Thanks in advance. |

RIT Hosts News Conference on Economic Impact of Biopharmaceutical Sector Nov. 13
Speakers will include Assemblyman Joseph Morelle and industry representatives
Nov. 11, 2009

Pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies remain an economic force throughout New York, and a new study shows the industry has strong potential for continued long-term growth.
Rochester Institute of Technology's Center for Bioscience Education and Technology will host a press conference at 11 a.m. Nov. 13, highlighting findings from the "Economic Impact of the Biopharmaceutical Sector on New York State." The conference will be held in the lobby of the Center for Bioscience Education and Technology building.
Speakers will include Ed Belkin, vice president of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturing Association of America; Joseph Morelle, New York state assemblyman; Gary Skuse, interim head of the School of Biological and Medical Sciences at RIT; Nathan Tinker, executive director of the New York Biotechnology Association; and Nancy Bergsteinsson, consultant from Archstone Co., which prepared the report.
An analysis of the impact of the biopharmaceutical sector on the economy of New York, using data primarily from 2006, includes the following highlights:
Total employment: The biopharmaceutical industry directly employs 55,546 people and is responsible for a total of 130,464 jobs;
Total output: The biopharmaceutical industry generated $29.1 billion in total output, of which $16.0 billion was generated from direct employment. New York state is responsible for 6.8 percent of all direct biopharmaceutical output nationally;
Tax revenue generated: The industry was responsible for $845.6 million in federal and social security taxes and $121.0 million in state taxes paid due to direct employment;
Clinical trials: In 2008, New York was second in the nation with 5,053 clinical trial sites in the state; and
Top regions: The regions that have the best 'clustering' effect are Long Island, Rochester and Westchester.
The report can be downloaded from Archstone Consulting or NYBA.
Note: The Center for Bioscience Education and Technology at Rochester Institute of Technology is the Rochester region's hub for customized workforce training, education and professional-development services in the biosciences. As a complement to RIT's traditional academic degree programs, the center serves a broad and diverse population of bioscience workers and others whose professions intersect regularly with the bioscience and health-related fields.

A man searching for the truth about his wife's killer learns more than he wanted to know about her own private story in this powerful drama. Harry Cain (John Turturro) works as a security guard at a large shopping mall in Wisconsin. Harry's life takes a sudden and disturbing left turn when his wife, Kate (Deborah Kara Unger), is shot to death in the mall's parking facility. Devastated by his wife's passing, Harry begins combing over every scrap of evidence he can find in hopes of tracking down the gunman and reviewing hours of videotape from the mall's surveillance system. One night, Harry has a vision in which he sees Kate walking out of the house across the street; he breaks into the abandoned home to investigate, and finds some photographs that may lead him to his wife's murderer. However, the more Harry learns about Kate, and as he travels to Montana in search of a possible culprit, Harry begins to learn just how much he never knew about Kate and her life. Renowned novelist Hubert Selby Jr. co-wrote the screenplay for Fear X, while composer and musician Brian Eno contributed to the musical score. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Hubert Selby Jr. was a powerful and influential literary figure whose best-known novels, Last Exit to Brooklyn and Requiem for a Dream, dealt with the dark underside of life in a way that was bleak and often shocking, but also laced with compassion and understanding for the tortured lives of his characters. Selby only completed the eighth grade when he became a merchant marine and contracted a severe case of tuberculosis from infected cattle. While Selby survived thanks to bootleg antibiotics, he lost a lung and had to give up his physically punishing work at sea. Selby took up writing and developed a unique style that helped make his first novel, 1964's Last Exit to Brooklyn, a critical success and a controversial best-seller. However, Selby developed a massive appetite for alcohol and drugs which derailed his career, and by the time he published his second book, 1971's The Room, Selby was all but forgotten. However, Selby's work developed a passionate following in Europe, and was rediscovered in the United States after a successful film adaptation of Last Exit to Brooklyn was released. Hubert Selby Jr.: It/ll Be Better Tomorrow is a documentary which explores the life and work of this unlikely literary icon, and features extensive interviews with Selby as well as his friends and admirers. Interview subjects include Lou Reed, Henry Rollins, Richard Price, Nick Tosches, Ellen Burstyn, Darren Aronofsky, Uli Edel, Amiri Baraka, and Jerry Stahl. Robert Downey Jr. serves as narrator. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Harry is not a happy man but his moods start to improve when he strikes up a friendship with John (Patrick Fierry), a limousine driver who goes hunting with him. At the same time, Anna (Mireille Perrier), a high-class prostitute, is ready to give up her dubious source of income for a life of commitment to Harry; he is obviously changed by her as well. Yet this well-off diplomat who has everything insists on going against the grain and he's not sure why. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Hubert Selby's controversial 1964 cult novel Last Exit To Brooklyn is adapted to the big screen by director Ulrich Edel in this drama. The story is set in the early 1950s in Red Hook, Brooklyn, a blighted waterfront town of boarded-up storefronts and striking factory workers. Harry Black (Stephen Lang), a machinist put in charge of the local union strike office, suddenly finds himself one of the most important men in town. But for all his sudden power, there's something disturbing Harry. He rejects his wife's caresses and discovers himself infatuated with a frail young man who calls himself Georgette (Alexis Arquette), who has a crush on well-muscled hood Vinnie (Peter Dobson). But Harry doesn't confront his problem head-on until he falls head-over-heels in love with Regina (Zette), a local transvestite. As the strike becomes more intense, Harry sinks deeper into an obsessive affair with Regina, using the strike fund to shower him/her with personal gifts. As Harry sinks into obsession, other characters float through the decaying streets. There's the attractive prostitute Tralala (Jennifer Jason Leigh) who falls in love with a sailor about to be shipped overseas. There is also an agreeable young man named Tommy (John Costelloe) who is beaten by his soon-to-be father-in-law Big Joe (Burt Young) for making his daughter Donna (Ricki Lake) pregnant. Everything comes to a tragic conclusion as the workers' strike escalates into a violent confrontation. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Based on the novel by Hubert Selby Jr., this gritty drama concerns four people trapped by their addictions. Harry (Jared Leto), and his best friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans) are impoverished heroin addicts living in Coney Island, NY, while Harry's girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connelly) is a fellow addict trying to distance herself from her wealthy father. Harry dreams of scoring a pound of smack, from which he could make enough money to open a clothing boutique with Marion, but so far he and his friends can barely scrape by supporting their own habits. Meanwhile, Harry's mother Sara (Ellen Burstyn), who spends her days watching television, is told she has the opportunity to appear on her favorite game show; wanting to lose enough weight to fit into her favorite red dress, she visits a sleazy doctor who gives her a prescription for amphetamines. Soon Sara has a drug habit of her own that is spiraling out of control. Requiem for a Dream was directed by Darren Aronofsky, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Selby; it was Aronofsky's second feature, following his acclaimed independent film Pi. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Scotch and Milk
Taking a stylistic cue from the French New Wave and Cassavetes, Adam Goldberg wrote and directed and stars in this black-and-white neo-noir -- with "additional dialogue by the cast." Writer wannabe Jim (Goldberg) lives in a seedy L.A. apartment building where he tries to write and broods over his lost love Ilsa, portrayed by Clea Lewis (who actually is Goldberg's former girlfriend). Jim's drinking buddies make a retro bid for the lifestyles of '50s hipsters. The gang gathers at the Catalina Bar and Grill to catch jazz singer Jimmy Scott perform "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child". A friend cruises into town with a car, enabling the group to go to the beach. Otherwise, they visit hookers, gamble after hours, walk empty streets, and hang around noir-style pre-1957 locations such as the colonnaded Venice, California -- buildings seen in Orson Welles' Touch of Evil. Familiar jazz classics punctuate the soundtrack. Shown at the 1998 L.A. Independent Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

My Profile
Iceland pop experimentalists Múm were formed by Gunnar Örn Tynes, Örvar Þóreyjarson Smárason, and classically trained twin sisters Gyða and Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir. Formed in 1997, the group met while working on a children's play. Smárason found his perception of music changed through hearing Aphex Twin and decided that he would abandon the guitar-based concepts of his prior bands. This was fine and dandy with his bandmates. Following a number of singles and remixes, the full-length Yesterday Was Dramatic -- Today Is OK was released in 2000 through TMT/Thule in Iceland and Tugboat in the U.K. Each of the band's four members was in their late teens when the record was released, hailed for its playful and imaginative use of all things musical and not so musical. 2001 saw the release of Please Smile My Noise Bleed on Morr Music, a compilation of remixes from the likes of isan and Arovane. A second full-length, Finally We Are No One, was released the following year on Fat Cat. Gyða left the band to focus on her studies before Múm's third album, Summer Make Good, arrived in spring 2004; the band rounded out the year with the Dusk Log EP. The next two years found Múm on the road. In 2005, the group collaborated with the National Dutch Chamber Orchestra at Amsterdam's Holland Festival on a piece inspired by the works of composer Iannis Xenakis. Múm returned to the studio the following year, and in the interim released a live album, The Peel Session, which was originally recorded in 2002 by the BBC. For 2007's Go Go Smear the Poison Ivy, the band was down to founding members Tynes and Smárason, who enlisted the help of guitarist/vocalist/violinist Ólöf Arnalds, trumpet/keyboard player Eiríkur Orri Ólafsson, vocalist/cellist Hildur Guðnadóttir, percussionist Samuli Kosminen, and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Mr. Silla. The group recorded their fifth album, 2009's Sing Along to Songs You Don't Know, in Finland and Estonia as well as their native Iceland. Fans had to wait four more years for another new studio album from the band, although they weren't entirely bereft of new product, as a Christmas EP, Gleðileg Jól, was released in 2011, and a compilation of early tracks in 2012 entitled Early Birds. Early in 2013, a track entitled "Whistle" emerged -- a surprise collaboration with none other than Kylie Minogue. That September, Múm released their sixth album, Smilewound, which featured the Kylie track and marked the return to the group of Gyða Valtýsdóttir for the first time in ten years. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

Bjork, Mum, Of Monsters and Men..what CAN'T Iceland do?
Dig it, got glitchy smiles
I'v never herd of Mum, I like it
Mum is a striking enough find to make me pull them up from amongst all the tabs and leave this comment. Good music for someone with a lot to think about.
mum's music tends to make me smile and relax
See what 10 months of winter and darkness do to you? Smoke some meth then get back in the studio.
I was told I would like MUM at a party.. and for months i was hexed I could no re-discover this band that a friend showed me while i was rolling...
Months later I figured it out with allot of hunting on limewire 2008
I can honestly say it is exciting and somewhat magical to have found this group's music.. like somebody said in a prev. comment mushrooms optional :) but.. if you listen to Finally We Are No One ..
since the passing of the synth programer.. the group has lost its luster :(

Mum will probably be my favorite band, forever. i only wish i got to see them live when gy(whatevert h i s l e t t e r i s ) a was still in the band.
clglamfashio n
This stuff is the cats pajamas. Beautiful! everybody should go buy "Yesterday was Dramatic Today was ok" "Finaly we are no one" and "Summer Make Good"....tho s e 3 albums will make your ears cumm ;) thank me later..and if u ever get the chance to see them live....do it!!! mushrooms are optional lol
my favorite.
Sing me to sleep bitter little angels.
this band is highlighted in the Wicker Park film soundtrack- check it out.
sheesh, is iceland the psychedelic candyland of spaced-out happiness or what?! bjork, sigur ros, mum... the list goes on... i was sad when i heard about their economic troubles, but then, that kind of thing is said to breed more artistic activity, so maybe it's for the best in the long run...
Toni likes it
the icelanders have it. beauty, mystical, beats, playful. love them.

K / Half Noise on Finally We Are No One is so good I just cried.
K / Half Noise on Finally We Are No One is so good I just cried.
I leave Pandora humming along in the background, and once every week or so something crawls on up through the background noise and arrests me...the Mum track was one of them, must hear more!
the more i hear, the more i love... a great sense of textures and striking juxtapositio n s . . . . some tracks are a bit repetitive, but there are always uses for those, too (background, zoning out, sleep, etc.)-- and semi-random variations of sounds are beautifully continuous. thank you for bringing something unique to the world.
If you're a fan and ever able to catch a live show of Mum, your absence should be inexcusable. Hearing a live performance sent chills down my back, not to mention being front and center and SO close to them all. Truly amazing...
dragonflames _ 0 0 7
Yea I first heard Mum at my high school's first modern dance show. This troupe came in and played it to one of their sets. The dude said who it was by and i forgot to look them up. years later, my dad asked me if I had heard of them and I said yea, I've only heard one song though. So he introduced me to pandora like a year ago and I made a station, and I'm like yup, Mum rules.
nomoremeplea s e
this is legitimately my favorite band. i saw them a few months ago in philly, and like collapsed to the floor and wept through like 3 songs. see them. you have to!

Southern Tanzania
The southern portion of Tanzania is far less developed, tourists are just discovering this region, but there is access to some of the best game parks in Africa. Southern Tanzania is also an important agricultural area producing large crops of maize, coffee and tea. Selous, Katavi and Ruaha are several of the most popular destinations in this part of the country offering remote, untouched wilderness and abundant wildlife. Selous Game Reserve is a World Heritage site and the largest game reserve in Africa.Southern Tanzania has spectacular natural and cultural highlights with many unique safari opportunities offered.

Selous Game Reserve was named for Captain Frederick Selous, a British conservationist, explorer and hunter who wrote a book about his travels and the region. Captain Selous was President Theodore Roosevelt's escort on a trip in 1909, he was killed during WW I by a German sniper and buried overlooking the Beho Beho River.Selous is the largest game reserve in Africa, established in 1922, it covers 5% of Tanzania's total area. The southern area is a forbidden area that is undeveloped heavily forested and contains a series of steep cliffs. Travelers are limited to the area north of the Rufiji River. This area of the Selous Game Reserve has large open grassland, woodlands, rivers, hills and plains. The best time to visit is July through October.The Rufiji River bisects the Selous Game Reserve and has the largest catchment area of any river in East Africa. The river is an important feature of the reserve providing the opportunity to watch the diverse water-based wildlife. A broad range of game can be found including elephants, hippos and rhinos as well as buffalo, antelope, giraffe, warthog, wildebeest, lion, leopard and cheetah. The diversity of bird life in Selous includes over 350 recorded species.Steigler's Gorge is another impressive part of Selous Game Reserve. It was named for a German explorer who was killed by an elephant in 1907. A cable car spans Stiegler's Gorge for a better view of the rushing waters.
Mikumi National Park
Mikumi National Park borders the Selous Game Reserve. The abundant wildlife, attracted to the lush vegetation, includes lions, eland, zebra, wildebeest, elephant, hippo and giraffe. Eland, the world's largest antelope, are frequently sighted around the Mkata Floodplain. Mikumi is the most reliable destination in Tanzania for viewing the eland. Several observation towers in the park allow visitors to view the entire park.Over 400 bird species have been recorded in Mikumi National Park such as storks, pelicans, herons, ibis, eagles and kites. Many species found in Mikumi are rarely seen in the northern game parks of Tanzania.Mikumi National Park is the location for several educational and research centers such as the ongoing field study of yellow baboons.
Ruaha National Park
Ruaha National Park is the least accessible park in Tanzania and as a result of the remoteness the landscape remains untouched. Birdwatcher's can enjoy over 400 species of bird that are not found in northern Tanzania and the river, spectacular gorges and majestic trees are especially appealing to photographers.As Tanzania's second largest park, Ruaha has large herds of buffalo, elephant and gazelle. The concentration of elephants are some of the largest in Tanzania, they travel in herds led by matriarchs.The Great Ruaha River is the main feature of Ruaha National Park providing magnificent wildlife viewing on the banks. The river also provides much of the electricity to Tanzania through a hydroelectric dam at Kidatu.
Udzungwa Mountains National Park
Udzungwa Mountains National Park is a forested area that is home to several species of primates, including the rare Iringa red colobus and the Sange crested mangabey monkey. Fragments of the Eastern Arc Mountains rise from the Udzungwa rainforest below and views from the peaks allow climbers to see the Selous Game Reserve and the coast of the Indian Ocean.There are many hiking trails in Udzungwa Mountains National Park that wind through various sections of the park. The most popular route is the half-day ramble to Sanje Waterfall.Mountain climbing is a popular activity that draws many visitors. Climbers can follow the trail up to Mwanihana Peak, the second highest point in the park or Luhombero Peak, the most challenging trail.The diverse wildlife includes the forest antelope and vervet monkeys as well as hippos, crocodiles, elephants and leopards. A number of endangered bird species have been recorded in Udzungwa Mountains National Park.
Iringa, Tanzania
Iringa is a small town located at the heart of the tea industry in Tanzania. Maize, vegetables, fruits and tobacco are also grown around Iringa making it an agricultural center and home to a wonderfully colorful market.Many Germans settled in Iringa and left behind a collection of German colonial architecture, which is found in the old Boma, town hall, hospital and post office. Several battles took place in Iringa during the first and second world wars and the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery has graves of the deceased.Northeast of Iringa is the Gangilonga Rock, the legendary spot where Chief Mkwawa met with his tribe to strategize about their fight with the Germans in 1894. The Chief was defeated in 1898 but committed suicide rather than risk being captured.
Isimila Stone Age Site
Isimila Stone Age Site is an Acheulean site where tools, stone artifacts and bones were found in a dry bed that was once a shallow lake. Discovered in 1951 and excavated in 1957, soil erosion exposed many items at Isimila. Tools that were found include axes, cleavers and spherical stones and they are believed to date from 60,000 years ago.Many fossilized bones believed to be those of mammals related to the modern giraffes, but with much shorter necks and an extinct form of hippopotamus with periscope-like eyes that protrude were uncovered.Isimila appears to have been a watering hole and a place to hunt for early hominoids.The area surrounding Isimila Stone Age Site is known as Isimila Gully with pillars of limestone that were left standing by erosion over the millennia. This site is worth the journey and has become a popular picnic spot.
Mbeya, Tanzania
Mbeya, founded in the late 1920's, is the capital of southern Tanzania. The town came about as a supply center when the gold rush hit the Lupa gold mines. Mbeya is ideal as a base for travelers wanting to explore the Southern Highlands of Tanzania.Mbeya offers trout fishing in the mountains to the south, and for hikers, some of the best trekking in the Poroto Mountains. The hills around Mbeya are full of heather and bracken.Excursions from Mbeya could include a visit to Galula, with its imposing Catholic Church built by the French White Fathers and evidence of Iron Age and late Stone Age sites. Southwest of the town is the Mbozi Meteorite, believed to have landed over 1,000 years ago.
Mikindani, Tanzania
Mikindani was named for the young palm trees (mikinda) that grow around the town. The protected lagoon at Mikindani has an admirable harbor that has provided for generations of fishermen and traders. Arabian traders in the 9th and 18th C settled in Mikindani.Mikindani is a fascinating town with winding streets and a blend of thatched mud houses and coral houses influenced by Arabic architecture. Balconies on the upper floor, flat roofs and ornate doorways are evidence of the Arabian influence.Dr. David Livingstone set out from Mikindani on his final expedition in 1866.Mikindani is the perfect location as a base for exploring the surrounding area.
Old Boma
The German Boma was built in 1895 and served as a fort and administrative center. At the time Old Boma was built, Mikindani was one of the most important ports in Tanzania at the time. The Old Boma is located on the side of a hill overlooking the Indian Ocean. This national monument has been restored as a hotel while still retaining its original features. The renovations took over 3 years due to the poor condition of the Boma.The tower at Old Boma is ideal for magnificent views over the town.
Lukwika-Lumesule Game Reserve
Lukwika-Lumesule Game Reserve is the most southerly game reserve in Tanzania and one of the least visited wilderness areas in Africa. The Ruvuma River is the border between Lukwika-Lumesule and Mozambique. Many of the animals wade across, while hippos and crocodiles lounge in the river. Large concentrations of elephants migrate across the river to the southern edge of the Lukwika-Lumesule Game Reserve.Other animals that have been spotted in the dense vegetation include lions, leopards, antelope, elands, greater kudus and plentiful bird species.During the hunting season, July to December, Lukwika-Lumesule Game Reserve is closed to visitors.
Mtwara, Tanzania
Mtwara is a small town located in one of the more remote locations in Tanzania. Mtwara was originally built by the British to take advantage of a groundnut scheme that eventually failed.Mnazi Bay-Ruvuma Estuary Marine Park is nearby Mtwara providing opportunity for tourists to visit some of the most isolated diving sites on the coast.The appeal to tourists is the easy access to Mtwara, the sheltered harbor, and the relaxed atmosphere. Mtwara is close to the Mozambique border so it has become the main entry point from Tanzania.St Paul's Church in Mtwara features Biblical scenes painted by German priests.
Mnazi Bay Marine Reserve
Mnazi Bay Marine Reserve is noted for the miles of white sand, the coral reefs close to the shore, and excellent snorkeling opportunities. Mnazi Bay Marine Reserve is a protected area encompassing 650 square kilometers.Msimbati Beach is a white sandy beach with plenty of swimming available at most times of the day. A coral reef lies just offshore and turtles are common in the area. Msimbati Island has the remains of a deserted house belonging to the self-proclaimed "Sultan of Msimbati", actually he was Leslie Latham Moore, an eccentric Englishman.

The Catholic church castrated children to "cure" them of gayness?
Republican Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler believes that same sex marriage is like an uncle marrying his niece and a 50 year old marrying a 12 year old girl. Yes, she said that. She also believes that it is comparable to a 3 year old driving a car. At least, she didn't compare people to marrying dogs.
Yes, that is an actual argument used by opponents of marriage equality. The level of bigotry towards gays by many in the Republican party and the religious rightwing (often one and the same) is comparable only to the bigotry that the religious rightwing once directed against interracial couples.
I am sure you are well aware of the sex abuse scandals in the Catholic church. Not just here but in Europe. Well, not only were there abuses by priests of young children in the Netherlands, which resulted in priests being shuffled around, but the Catholic church castrated, yes castrated, a number of young boys in the 1950s, to "cure" them of their homosexuality. I wonder if that happened here in the U.S?
The Catholic church isn't as hostile to homosexuality as it once was. It isn't at the level of many evangelical churches in the U.S., in their disdain for gay men and women. In particular men of course. But, to castrate children to "cure" them is disgusting and shameful. The Catholic church needs to come clean on where and how many cases of this, actually happened.

I worked at Paycom full-time for more than a year
Pros – Pay can be very rewarding
You aren't stuck in the office all day
If you get a good manager you will continue to be motivated if you get a bad manager you will hate monday mornings
Cons – Lack of support - as a sales person you have to set the appointment, close the deal, implement the technology, transition the client, train the client - you basically wear 12 hats
12 hour workdays in sales most of the time
They expect you to be a robot
They treat you like a child unless you are way above quota
Advice to Senior Management – Don't promote people to management solely based on the fact that they were a good sales rep, please ENSURE that they will not be a petty immature brat and play favorites
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at Paycom full-time for more than a year
Pros – Decent products offered and a fair and reasonable price. Not sure what else I can say for pros.
Cons – Paycom was a crazy place to work. I was one of 18 reps that had three managers in our region, which got trimmed to 3 sales reps. I did well there, but seeing new people working at the desk next to mine every month was getting old. I love all the other cheerleader posts that give 5 stars and say what an awesome place it is to work. They love that Paycom cool aid!
Advice to Senior Management – Good luck
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at Paycom full-time for more than a year
Pros – The company has a great product that excels in its targeted market. The compensation is very lucrative and the total compensation (salary, commission, benefits, stock options, 401k, President's Club, etc.) is hard to beat. All aspects of the sales role are highly micro-managed. This is not a job for experienced sales professionals. If you are fresh out of college or in your first 1-3 years in the workplace, this is a great company to make great earnings and learn a tremendous amount about professional B2B sales. Warning: the work environment is a pressure cooker. Even when you are over plan you will still feel burdened for not having more deals to bring in. This lends itself to very high turnover. There are very few sales reps that have been with the company more than 2-3 years. Overall, you can make a great living for 1-3 years if you can put up with the stress; not a great place for the development of a long term career.
Cons – Overall pressure cooker in sales. Reps are highly micro-managed and there is very little career trajectory for the vast majority. New reps come in and out on a regular basis.
Advice to Senior Management – The number one reason reps stay at Paycom is the compensation; however there are many other factors to reduce turnover that aren't being explored at all. Focus on developing a better work environment so that your employees feel valued and not like just a YTD number on the leader board.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at Paycom full-time
Pros – *Great pay
*Year-end party
*Special celebrations (payroll week, monthly luncheon, and holiday celebrations)
*Promotion opportunities
*Cheap lunch and health insurance for employee only
Cons – *Long hours at quarter end and year end
*Heavy work load for some employees while other employees have time to socialize all day
*Favoritism, management will choose people that they like and those people will get promoted faster and be able to do whatever they want
Management acts like they value their employees but they really only value the employees who they are friends with and employees who make their whole life their job. Vacation and sick time really is not that good compared to other companies and you only get 5 holidays off, New Years is considered the 6th holiday paid but most people usually have to work it. Just like high school, if you are in the popular crowd you are golden and probably love working there, but if you aren't then you can work really hard and not move up or even get fired. You can move up through the different levels of payroll specialist fairly quickly but you have to take tests and if you don't take the tests you get in trouble. Also, anyone can move up to the highest level of payroll specialist as long as they pass the tests, even if they are not the best employee. Management demands that people are clocked in on time but don't seem to care if people go to get coffee or socialize once they are clocked in. Also, the managers are not always there on time themselves.
Advice to Senior Management – Disburse the work more evenly and if someone is overworked then find a way to remove some of their workload or move some of their clients to another specialists. Hire more specialists and lower the client load. Get a suggestion box and actually listen to your employees. Don't punish employees for being a minute late unless you are willing to punish the employees who clock in on time then spend 10 or 20 minutes getting coffee and socializing. Lead by example, if you want the employees to be clocked in at 8 on the dot then be at your desk at that time and make sure the team leaders are too. Employees get resentful when they are punished for being a minute late but see their team leader or surpervisor stroll in a few minutes late. A huge amount of employees in several departments are very unhappy and they are constantly looking for a new job, several of them are waiting to be vested in units or for the company to go public then they plan on leaving.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Paycom full-time for less than a year
Pros – Great coworkers, above average base pay, decent training
Cons – Be prepared to work long hours and get micromanaged. REPORTS REPORTS REPORTS--wasted time preparing these long reports. Manager never had advice--was a good cheerleading when you were doing well, but no constructive criticism or help if you were having a down month.
Sales reps aren't just required to sell, but see entire transition process through--company spins this as an advantage over competition because there is accountability, but it leaves less time for sales rep to hit quota & are faced with issues only a transition team would be able to answer.
-They are experiencing major growing pains & are going downhill fast.
Advice to Senior Management – Just because someone is good in sales, doesn't necessarily mean they are going to be a good manager--Holly Faurot however truly cares about her employees & is a genuine, great leader
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at Paycom
Pros – Room for growth, nice co-workers, good commission potential, good product, training was done well, i just don't know about the senior management.
Cons – Got FIRED for failing a background check one week after hire. I had a minor possession of alcohol ticket in college and a marijuana pipe conviction when I was 15 as a juvenile. In CO this is a petty offense. Give me a break HR, these are slap on the wrist crimes. People change from when they are 15. This is not the FBI. Senior management does not care about employees and would not even listen to an explanation. Sorry paycom but you missed out on a good employee. BAD senior management and corporate structure that screw you over for NO reason. Also, interview process is horrible, CANVASSING session? horrible.
Advice to Senior Management – Care for your employees as individuals not numbers. Look at how people do canvassing session, not just to see they hit 3 appointments or not. Look past the numbers senior management.

I have been working at Paycom
Pros – Nice office, people are mostly friendly. The benefit package for single people without children is very nice.
Cons – The pay is minimal for college graduates. One can make more money at any retail store without a degree.
Advice to Senior Management – Spend less money on snacks, and more money on employees.

Will Barack Obama's Tax Gambit Work? >
Barack Obama Is Using Tax Cuts to Target Mitt Romney's Wealth
Obama is using Romney and super rich to distract from the economy
July 11, 2012
In proposing a one-year extension of the Bush tax cuts for everyone making $250,000 or less, President Barack Obama sought to put his opponent, Mitt Romney, on defense on what is typically a winning issue for Republicans.
But the Obama team's tax argument is both phony and clever. President Obama agreed to a two-year extension of all of the Bush tax cuts in 2010, signing it Dec. 17, 2010, with five Republicans and 29 Democrats in attendance. At the time, President Obama said the bill would create jobs and boost the struggling economy. Two years later, four months from his own re-election, he has changed his tune.
If it was good policy to extend all of the tax cuts then, it should be now.
But the Obama tax political argument didn't hatch this week. It started early last year when the Obama team embraced the Occupy movement, using the 1 percent language. It continued when Obama repeatedly sought to use Mitt Romney's wealth against him, citing disproven "outsourcing" in ways that fact checkers have called false.
[Check out our editorial cartoons on President Obama.]
On Sunday, in a coordinated attack, the Democratic headliners on all the major tax shows (Robert Gibbs, Gov. Martin O'Malley, Sen. Dick Durbin, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Rep. Xavier Becerra) all recited talking points about Romney's "offshore bank accounts." Then Monday, Obama launched, in an East Room press announcement, his urging of the "middle class" tax cuts to be extended for one year.
As Charles Krauthammer noted, if Obama believes his plan is a good idea, why not extend them permanently, instead of for just one year? Plain and simple: This is a ploy. Make Romney defend wealthy people, like himself.
If this election is waged over Mitt Romney's wealth, Romney will lose. Indeed, the negative attack ads run by Obama against Romney have had an effect. But wealth can be a positive attribute as most people wish to be wealthy and believe it is indeed possible in America.
Every day, the Obama campaign wakes up with one mission: Make this race about anything other than the direction of the economy after three and a half years. The Romney campaign must continue to force each debate, each news cycle back to the central question: Are you better off now than you were four years ago?
Everything else is white noise.

Tucson Mountain Park Rifle and Pistol Range reopens after storm damage repairs
Friday, November 2nd, 2012The Tucson Mountain Park Rifle and Pistol Range reopened to the public today, Nov. 2, after substantial damage caused by a Sept. 6 storm forced its closure.
The Tucson Mountain Park Rifle and Pistol Range is a very popular historic range for recreational public shooting that dates back to the mid-1950s.
On Sept. 6, a very large monsoon dumped more than four inches of rain on the west side of Tucson Mountain Park. Wind and rain caused substantial damage to the shooting range. The road going into the range was washed out, the ramada roof was partially blown off and the berms had significant water and erosion damage. The Pima County Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation Department closed the range for emergency repairs.
The Department thanks shooters for their patience and welcomes them back to the most scenic range in Arizona.
The Tucson Mountain Park Rifle and Pistol Range, approximately 2.5 miles north of Ajo Way on Kinney Road, .3 of a mile from the south Tucson Mountain Park entrance, is open for target shooting only from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, except Pima County holidays.
All shooters must register prior to shooting and abide by the range safety and gun handling rules. Eye and ear protection is required.
The daily fee is $6 per shooter; youth under 16 years of age shoot free (must be accompanied and supervised by an adult).
For more information about Tucson Mountain Park Rifle and Pistol Range or the County's other shooting and archery ranges, please visit http://www.pima.gov/nrpr/shooting/index.htm or call the Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation Department at (520) 877-6000.

(sorry in advance for my poor english)
I've had a lot of hair styles during my life, especially during my teenage.
From the classical punk crest to bleached blonde and many other colours,
to more ordinary styles like very short (2-3 cm) and mid length.
Once upon a time I've also grew my hair for two years to become a rasta poser
(so many joints at the time but at 18 years old it's a natural passage to adult age)
and made my own dirty dreadlocks (with also some leftover bleach blonde wisps).
Naturally, more the years pass, more your style is pushed to become sober,
high school age is not forever, post high school age as well,
and if you're not into music industry ruling a successful punk band,
a red crest is not forever.
Dreadlocks too.
Considering that I've lost 2 years trying to grow them,
and they were by that time an "important" memory of my personal twisted path,
I've decided to take in my hand the electric shaver, cut them, pick them up,
and put it in a plastic bag with over "RASTA HAIR RIP".
After years of hair sobriety,
in the (more or less) two past years I've tried to grow them again,
looking for a more sober long hair style without any dreadlocks or colours.
Folk rock / grunge band singer, if you need references.
My hair is a bit curly so they became not exactly what I've imagined,
not a bush in the head but it was near to look like.
But I liked them.
And we have passed together rock festivals, my graduation,
good and bad stories, snow and sand, and any sort of tales.
But, at least, it arrived the time also for them to be cut,
and brought me back into a more fit-to-be seen status for a designer,
not the lead-singer of a psychedelic folk rock band named "Hypnothalamus"
(I must admit that I didn't look exactly so handsome with them long).
And I've stored them as my old dreadlocks, again.
Now, carrying on this latest wave of typography that has brought me success
and no more ideas except make fonts with everything that pass through my mind,
I've decided, one night that I was really drunk, two or three days after the last cut,
"Ok. let's make a typeface with them."
And here we are. - Besides this funny typographic experiment,that I hope you have liked,create type treatments is my work,and I'm widely open to develope unique typefaces
for advertisiments, editorials, covers etc.
So you're invited to contact me here or at my email
if you're interested.
Best regards to everybody,
see ya next project!!!

Lean EFX and Natural EFX
Got my two bottles of Lean EFX and Natural EFX mail Sunday. I want to thank 02Sixxer and Formutech for this opportunity. This is my first official log for Formutech and plan to make this a great run. I started my workouts yesterday although I'm just getting up this morning. My work schedule is tricky. I work 7/7. 7 days on/7days off. I love it. There are times in my work weeks I can only get to the gym for two days, possibly three. During my off weeks. I can hit hard and sometimes for two a days like yesterday.
I am currently 352lbs, I stand at 6'5", all natural and recomping for the end of summer. I never have taken any AAS, GH or anything close to that for that matter. I only use Test Boosters, aminos, multivitamins, and a multitude of products from companies which post products in GNC. Another words nothing above and beyond what any one has access to. I need to make this clear. I've competing in 13 powerlifting competitions in 2.5 years! I just turned 40. I can hit a contest anytime and put up the same numbers no matter how much time long or short. I haven't competed this year due to my wife being preggers since the beginning of the year. I plan to hit #14 in November if my work schedule allows. I compete in the 100% RAW federation. I only go here now since they will test anybody on the spot. Normally when I hit a contest I'm in a class of my own .I just crossed over from SHW, Submater to SHW, MASTER. Wow.
For this log I am going to be following this training schedule "BluePrint":
Workout Template: Always subject to change:
Day 1 (Monday) Lower Back & Legs
Day 2 (Tuesday) Chest & Triceps
Day 3 (Wednesday) Cardio
Day 4 (Thursday)
Day 5 (Friday) Light Chest/Delts/Arms
Day 6 (Saturday) Off
Day 7 (Sunday) Off
This is how it goes most weeks, but due to work schedule this template will vary. Also, note I currently have a 19 month old and newborn coming in a month. I'm stocked and ready to lean out the best I can prior to him getting here. My cardio can range from hitting the treadmill to work around the house. It's quit a bit. No matter what, diet has to be right for this to be effective. I've geared up to go super high reps and medium weight, with a heavy compound movement to complete the blitz. I've started this serious recomp at the beginning of 2013. I broke it up into 4 phases. Formutech is allowing me to test their product to tie it in.

Lansing business growing due to European meat scare
A Lansing company is seeing a silver lining to the recent horsemeat scare in Europe.
Neogen builds tests to verify the purity of different types of meat.
Business has been growing steadily in the last quarter.
That was when European beef began showing up with horse meat mixed in.
Neogen's Vice President of Food Safety is Ed Bradley.
He says meat processors and grocery chains are now using Neogen's tests to ensure they're getting what they pay for. "The interest in horse meat because of the situation in Europe is by far the largest, but the awareness that something like this could happen has increased the interest in the other tests as well."
He adds that meat processors and grocery chains can be confident they're getting what they pay for in just a half hour. "After you collect your sample, within just a bit over a half hour you can say yes good to go or no I need to reject this product."
Bradley says the tests detect impurities of just 1-percent and require minimal training.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. I just wished for Turnus to have a quick death so that the book would end. Maybe I should re-read it? poetic and lyrical all the way through. the weaving of the words is beautiful and apart. from the story they. The story is inspirsing and heart break. It was a stroke. of genius to give Romans their çreation epic (in copy of the Greeks witheir Homer epics The Iliead & The Odessey....Virgil's Abridge countinues the story of one defeated. Trojan General and prince who was under order orders from the gods to seek his "new kingdom" by the Tiber river in the strategic place perfect for a city to be born and control the Italian peninsula. SO....ONE OF THSE LAST STANDING TROJAN NOBLEMAN IS ANEAS..,.SON OF APHRODITE AND LEGENDARY FOUNDER OF ROME ACCORDING TO THIS EPIC POEM. Rated: B+ Loved Virgil's descriptions of war - comparable to Homer's. Wonderful tale about the remnant of Troy and their jouney to become the founders of Rome. Complex heros and villians with their inter-play with the gods of their day. Following the trials and tribulations of the Trojan warrior Aeneas after the fall of Troy, this story is a great follow-up to reading the Iliad and the Odyssey. The three nearly fit together as a trilogy. Also, I always enjoy a good Greek or Roman story (in translation, of course). Read this rather hurriedly and when lots of other things were going on in my life.

References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (17)Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0679729526, Paperback)Arma virumque cano: "I sing of warfare and a man at war." Long the bane of second-year Latin students thrust into a rhetoric of sweeping, seemingly endless sentences full of difficult verb forms and obscure words, Virgil's Aeneid finds a helpful translator in Robert Fitzgerald, who turns the lines into beautiful, accessible American English. Full of betrayal, heartache, seduction, elation, and violence, the Aeneid is the great founding epic of the Roman empire. Its pages sing of the Roman vision of self, the Roman ideal of what it meant to be a citizen of the world's greatest power. The epic's force carries across the centuries, and remains essential reading.(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:40:46 -0400) A new edition of Virgil's epic work is presented in modern language and endeavors to retain the original work's humanity, as well as its influential blend of poetry and verse.

Summer Jams.
I really have come to love the jazzy instrumentals that Mecca:83 and his international crew come out with on the regular. They're vintage and fresh all rolled into one, he boasts one talented group of artists.
His label FreeForm Records has undergone a facelift with a new message under the name Expansions Collective. Just a reorganization for image sake, I believe these guys were already operating as a passionate collective to begin with. Anyways, check out Mecca:83′s latest mix, Summer Jams, which takes our ears on a journey through his extensive record collection. It's perfect for this break of our extreme heat lately. Sit back and enjoy, download the entire mix here.
