Started over 3 years ago, Quintessence is my first, and main, RM project. Unlike traditional RPGs, it has a primary focus on story-telling and atmosphere, delivering a unique experience as a narrative-driven "interactive show".
As my first project, it also marks my personal progression into the world of RM and story-telling. This is unfortunately shown through its lesser impact of the first few chapters; mainly in the aspect of story and pacing. It is a problem that I am planning to gradually tend to through the course of its completion - but for now, I hope you could give it a chance for a patient development.
With an award winning original soundtrack comprised of over 60 songs composed by James Q. Zhang and Kan "Reives" Gao, music is not only an essential component of not only Quintessence's atmosphere, but also the plot itself. The opening and ending themes feature performances by the talented Laura Shigihara and Adam Mussell.

The genre of the story is adventure, drama, and fantasy. Instead of a synopsis, here is the opening of the written version of the game's story. While the scene is not directly implemented in-game, the events surrounding it are.
Act I
1327, 3rd month, day 5
Second hour and seventeen minutes past midnight
The vase met the ground with a loud clash as the young man dashed by. With trembling hands, he reached under his grass-sewn bed sheet and retrieved a notebook, a quill pen and a bottle of clear, oily liquid. Dampening the quill in the bottle, he flipped to the blank page, fleetly trotting down the words as sweat dripped down onto the tawny pages.
1327, Month 3, day 5
I knew something was out of place, but not like this. . .
What does it mean? No, I cannot state this here, for it is not safe.
But it is still her. In either case, it has been this way for who knows how long now, and nothing has yet happened. Perhaps I still have time.
Perhaps, just perhaps, I still have a chance.
He took a deep breath and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Redampening the quill in the chipped bottle, he signed briefly at the bottom of the page as the rough handwriting gradually faded into the thin air.
Reivier Wirt
The exhausted figure pushed himself up and darted through the opening of the leathery tent. He paused for a moment and stared into the dim lit night, only to hear the wind whistling through the trebled leaves. Dim, silvery moonlight sprayed upon the rustling branches, brushing gently against the autumn night's air. With another sigh, he began to saunter silently onward, but the sound of soft footsteps upon the grass made him stop in his track and turn around.
Turn around to face the familiar figure that was now a stranger.
"Why are you still up at this nightly hour?" The figure spoke softly, with a tone that Reivier had embraced countless times. "Do you not wish to have a restful sleep?" It added after a brief pause.
Reivier's brows lowered as he took a small step back. His trembling hand instinctively reached behind his belt for his hunting knife, but it was too late.
Under the cloaking shadows, the figure swiftly lashed out something colorless, shimmering in the reflection of the guiding moonlight.
Powders, perhaps.
But that was the last thing he saw.
Being an interactive show, game-play is delivered in a relatively limited quantity. However, it offers a wide variety of gameplay through puzzles, mini-games and its evented real-time battle system.
And there ends my WIP sales pitch; many thanks for your time reading.

Four Reasons Why Lucy Liu Won't Sink Elementary
By Guest Contributor Kendra James
Here's the thing about Elementary: whether or not you like it isn't going to have everything to do with Lucy Liu's playing Dr. Watson.
It would be a disservice to Liu to rave about the show just because she's in it. So let's keep it real: when it comes down to it this show is nothing more than your average CBS procedural. That said, I like CBS procedurals, and I also happen to like Sherlock Holmes adaptations, so I can easily give you a few reasons why the pilot of Elementary is worth checking out on CBS.com.
1. Chill out. Watson's being portrayed by an Asian woman doesn't change the character of Watson as much as you've convinced yourself it does. Both Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller) and Joan keep their traditionally adapted traits and personalities. Sherlock remains the standoffish (a-holeish, if you will) observant genius, while Watson is the former doctor and the only one who seems to be able to tolerate Sherlock's abrasive mannerisms. They both remain highly educated and of an equal social status, if the clues dropped in the pilot are to be believed. If anything, the changes to Watson's race and gender work to make certain scenes more poignant. Particularly, I was struck by a moment late in the episode where Sherlock delivers a direct, sincere apology to Joan for the way he's treated her over the past hour. A white male who acknowledges his poor treatment of a woman of color? That's more of a novelty on television than a female Watson.
2. Elementary's New York City actually looks like New York City. This isn't the whitewashed New York of How I Met Your Mother or 2 Broke Girl's stereotyped city. Joan and Sherlock walk around an appropriately diverse city where they're not just sandwiched between other minorities on subways, but also interact with them on a continuous professional level (check out Manny Perez as Detective Abreu, who will soon be joined by Anika Noni Rose). Personally, I've never understood why CBS can "get" gender and racial diversity when it comes to their procedural shows but manages to fail time and time again in the sitcom department.
3. The original Sherlock Holmes novels employ tropes and Chinese stereotypes that were, perhaps, typical of the time. Either way, centered mostly around opium dens, the lives of Chinese immigrants in London were portrayed through a short racist lens. Modern adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle's novels seem to have problems with this as well. Whether the producers of the show realize it or not, casting a Chinese-American woman as one of the series' lead characters, washing Watson's hands clean of any drug use or connection immediately in the pilot, and proceeding to write her as a fully fleshed-out person is too wonderful of an ironic public kiss-off to the problematic source material for me to not watch each and every week.
4. Overall, it's familiar and–when you're promoting a cast of diverse faces–that can be a good thing. The procedural is a tried-and-true formula that CBS consistently wins the night with (consider NCIS' 20.16 million viewer premiere). In five years Elementary will be that syndicated show on TNT that you can jump into at a moment's notice in the middle of Season 2.
I plead with the show's naysayers (mostly pressed Sherlock fans, but who's counting?) to consider what the show is, and then ask themselves the following questions: Do you like CBS procedurals? Do you like Criminal Minds, NCIS, Hawaii Five-0, or any one of the six million CSIs? Do you like Big-Bads-Of-The-Week and slightly-above-average season-long story arcs? Do you not take issue with the standard beautiful-woman-in-peril-and-lots-of-blood storylines that CBS procedurals see as their bread and butter?
If you answered "ye's to more than one of those questions, then it's likely that you'll enjoy casually viewing Elementary. If not, well, then this just isn't the show for you, and that's fine. But it's not Lucy Liu's fault.

"Do you like CBS procedurals?"
Though I'm loath to admit it in a public forum, yes, yes I do.
I'm also a fan of the Sherlock stories (the handful that I've read anyway), and I like Lucy Liu, so her casting as Watson (my favorite character from the stories) was always going to be win-win-win for me.
I watched the pilot, and I'm sad to say that I was underwhelmed. Not by the leads. I thought they worked well as individuals and as a team. I even enjoyed the supporting characters (especially Det. Abreu's snark toward Sherlock). However, I found the plot to be exceedingly meh. But I am not giving up on the show. It was a pilot, and, with few exceptions, such episodes are usually pretty tepid. I will stick around for the next few episodes and pray CBS gives this show a chance.

Thank you for this post. I agree with you 100%. Well, aside from the fact that I -don't- like standard CBS procedurals, and therefore didn't like the pilot. I'll give it one or two more episodes – I LOVE both JLM and LL, but was so so disappointed in the show. Not for any of the reasons you listed above – those are reasons I WANTED to love it! – but because I am just generally not much of a fan of what US Network Television gives us. I just hope that in future episodes they're given better material to work with within the larger framework of the show.

I've never been a huge fan of Lucy acting wise but it would be silly of me to think that her mere presence in this show would some how make it bad. That said I used to love CSI: Las Vegas but really lost interest post season six.
If you're saying that Elementary is on par with Season 1-5 of CSI then I'm in! Otherwise it might not be the show for me. However I'm glad it's good and that other people like it and that it has a really diverse cast (something the BBC can learn from tbh) since that is rare.
It makes me really sad how this whole Elementary debacle has made the Sherlock fandom look though. Just because some fans are acting like racist idiots doesn't mean all Sherlock fans are.
I didn't like the show because I didn't like it. But I think #2 is true because they really do film in NYC, I don't think those other shows you mentioned actually film here.

I thought it wasn't bad for a pilot, but it was a totally generic US crime show with totally generic lead characters and I just couldn't see any reason for calling the leads Holmes and Watson other than to cash in on the BBC!Sherlock hype. They could have been called Jones and Smith and it wouldn't have changed a thing.

Saw ELEMENTARY last night and tried to tape it (I didn't check to make sure it wouldn't run out and it did,dammit!). It was okay (cool to see an old fave actor of mine, Aidan Quinn as the lead detective) and it did seem boring at first, but actually picked up and got more interesting toward the end, when Sherlock was closer to solving the mystery. Honestly,though, after having seen the British series on PBS, it was kind of hard for me not to watch ELEMENTARY without doing some major comparing between the two, since Benedict Cummerbach absolutely nailed it as Sherlock. That being said, it was good to see both Liu and Jonny Lee Miller (whom I remember from TRAINSPOTTING, that classic '90′s Scottish drug flick) back on TV again—-seeing as I don't see either one of them in a lot of things anymore. Hopefully, it'll get better and Liu as Watson will be given more to do besides putting up with Sherlock's messed-up attitudes.
That being said, what's gonna happen to PERSON OF INTEREST? I'm kind of surprised there haven't been that many articles on the show,considering one of the main leads is a black woman–which is the main reason I started watching it in the first place, and I love it—I think it deserves the hype and such and all of that.

THANK YOU for a thoughtful and concise analysis. I, too, found it jarring that while Joan Watson is a strong female character, the show still chose to have violence against women as their first case. Ick.
Lucy Liu doesn't ruin Elementary. Frankly, she's the only reason I'm watching it in the first place.
"A white male who acknowledges his poor treatment of a woman of color?
That's more of a novelty on television than a female Watson."I loved that part, I won't even lie. It was a huge breath of fresh air to see a man apologize so sincerely to a woman, and one of colour at that. That particular scene points to what I'm especially digging so far about Elementary: equality. I can respect that. Besides the "beautiful woman in danger!" shtick, I didn't wince at Elementary's handling of race or women. That's more than I can say for certain other recent adaptions. Ahem.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next one!
I want to like it, and I'm pretty sure that once I get over my hang-ups I will like it. But I'm still annoyed that in every adaption that I've watched where Watson is a woman, that the character's army background gets dropped. I mean, it makes sense when you're doing victorian era, but there's no reason why a modern female Watson couldn't have been in the army.
Not a fan of CBS procedurals, and yes! you named that tune so well. Thank you for providing the context in which Liu's casting is so damn appropriate.

I enjoyed Elementary. It was a nice take on Sherlock Holmes and Watson.
I like Jonny Lee Miller's Sherlock because yes he is clever but unlike other Sherlocks he seems vulnerable, which is something that I have never ever picked up or felt from other Sherlock portrayals be the traditional Victorian Britain or contemporary Britain.
I like Lucy Lui's Watson because I think that she is and will give Watson a refreshing new take, and it is about time that a woman of colour is played as an equal.
I am going to enjoy this show because I do like CBS procedural shows, I like that it looks and feels like New York, I like that the show is New York based, I like how it so far feels inclusive.
I will watch. I am a fan. And Lucy and Jonny will do a fine job of it I think. -
I agree with all of this, and am perfectly fine with Watson being a) non-White and b) a woman, and will check it out, BUT: I hate it when Americans relocate stories to the US. That is 'story appropriation' tbh. Both Asians and women and even more so Asian women are underrepresented in media, the location "USA" and more concretely "New York" are not. The idea that while the rest of the world can emphasize with an American location, while Americans apparently in the mind of media execs can't be arsed to do the same for a non-American location bothers me.

"Personally, I've never understood why CBS can "get" gender and racial
diversity when it comes to their procedural shows but manages to fail
time and time again in the sitcom department"I think it boils down to the differences in "knowing" people, especially if they don't share all the same ethnic or cultural characteristics. They may "know" a PoC well enough from work to say that they know them to another person (or, disappointingly, claim them as their "[insert group] friend") but not "know" them well enough to have them over for dinner. Workplace diversity is largely out of the control of most people so they're forced to accept seeing all manner of people in a range of positions. It's not a stretch to see them on a procedural show and the lack of deep probing of those characters as human beings with lives doesn't bother them because they don't see that in real life anyway. Their coworkers only exist while they're on the clock.
One of the draws of the sitcom is being able to say or feel you "know" or have met the types being shown on screen.* Individuals have control over the diversity of their personal lives in most cases. That kind of control means you get to pick and choose whom you know intimately, which is where most of the conflict in sitcoms comes from. That weird thing they do with their teeth that drives you crazy? An inability to keep their libido under control that often results in hilarious stories the next week? A freak accident or miscommunication that initially caused a lot of stress but worked out in a funny way? One of those Very Special Episode moments where you experience profound loss and need to lean on your friends? This is what you talk about when you know someone personally.
If you don't genuinely know PoC (or genders beyond of a rigid binary with all the attendant normative baggage) outside of your work (procedural) life, how are you going to do any justice to them on a show largely about personal life (sitcom)?
* I refused to watch the Big Bang Theory for a very long time because I do "know " all those people from school (secondary and post-secondary) and what many people find charming or quirky reminds me of why I took a break from science and stayed away from openly declaring my interest in many things for a very long time.
Many thanks for this review – I will definitely check it out.
I think this has more to do with writing what you know and also the consideration of their audience (CBS is, after all, an American company.) It would cost a lot more to move shooting anywhere else outside the US. (As for why New York and not some other city in the USA, well, that's where the writers live and work.)
I am a member of the BBC Sherlock fandom, but I thankfully missed this debacle over CBS's adaptation. I love Jonny Lee Miller, and I don't like or dislike Lucy Liu; I love the idea of Watson being a WOC, and perhaps the show tackling some of the unappealing Orientalism of the original Holmes stories (one would hope). I'm with Kat though; I hate when distinctly British shows are transplanted to the U.S. It just seems lazy and unnecessary. It saddens (though doesn't surprise) me that some members of the Sherlock fandom acted a fool over this casting, but I think the show's biggest Achilles heel will certainly not be Lucy Liu (although I find her acting ability limited), but the fact that it is derivative and too similar to others of its ilk on CBS, and just doesn't measure up to the BBC version.
Pingback: It's Elementary « Speaker's Corner in the ATX (scATX)
It would've been revolutionary if he hadn't said the sexist/racist things in the first place and she didn't act so flattered like he apologized, like a schoolgirl who'd just gotten approval from Daddy. It made me feel queasy tbh. It also would've been nice if Miller's character's apology meant something and he didn't just go right back to saying and acting sexist in the second episode too. I'm not going to give the show a third chance, clearly all it's interested in is propping up the same old tired stereotypes where the white character gives crap to the WOC but she takes it because it's her job to support him. They also seem to shoving all the personal soap opera onto Liu's character so Jonny Lee Miller can investigate the crimes when Holmes and Watson are supposed to be partners (crimes where the women get to be victims or, like in the second episode, they're evil manipulators of poor men). As with everything on CBS that's not The Good Wife, this show fails at diversity and gender roles. Someone will probably write a kickass female Watson who's still an Army vet, can shoot a gun and is a great doctor, and that will be awesome, but this show fails on all counts.

Thank you Marsh for your encouraging comments. I was experimenting with the coloured pencils and the paper. It did hold the medium but still seems to be showing through. It might have been better with a darker background. Always lots to learn.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Bonnie, your colored pencil picture of the mother waiting at home is charming. Even if her head is a little bit large, she has such a welcoming expressing on her face and you captured the cinder block home with the large pots and plants just perfectly.
Marsha, I like both versions of the one-room schoolhouse and can't choose a favorite. But, I think the red door is a great addition! Plus, I think you did a great job of portraying what is really counter-intuitive - the disproportionately large cupola.
Comments and critiques are welcomed and appreciated.
Hi all, The bears had a day off yesterday cause Ruthie and me went drinking and dancing but their back learning today
Blue Ridge Mountains Art Center

Thank you Alex. I thought at first I was messing it up with the size of the cupola, that is why I called it a church... its bigger than the front door. must have a lot of bells in the bellfry...... tee hee... or bats....
Bonnie, sometimes I use colored paper for my background so it can show through and become part of my medium value, it works for pastel as well. I will post an example on Chatter as it the subject doesn't have anything to do with school...
Pastel Teachers' hands are usually chalk-full. (by Marsha Ross)
C & C Always Welcome
Hi all, WOW It's happening 11x14 watercolor with gesso and gel using mostly patette knife
Thank you Alex for you very nice comments.
Fred, love your bears with the sheep. The white sheep look very good with the black bears. Very nice.
Hi all, These will be the last of my Bears in college series
Life is Like A Box of Crayon's.....comes in all shapes,sizes,colors,melt,can be used by all, breakable and creative. 5 x 7 watercolor abstract. I love this group and have missed not being a part of it.
HELLO Susanrae... you have been missed... I JUST LOVE THE CREATIVITY OF THIS.... you really had your thinking cap on. I recently made my own heat glass to try out something, and accidently left a colored pencil sitting on it and when I came back I saw the tip melted onto the glass..... I should have thought of it as a happy accident, but instead I was upset that I mess up my pencil.... I love what you did with this one. did you use crayons or what indeed melt them? GREAT JOB!
Thanks Marsha, I hesitated to post my crayons, a bit to wild.! I honestly tried to copy the challenge photo but just couldn't, abstract took over ;o) I love the paintings that has been posted, IMPRESSIVE group of artist here.
Jen C & C's always welcome
Jen, you are so very talented, Thank you and I hope that I can return and be a part. I love this forum and have not been able to participate in past few months. Take care.
Hi all I am final back. I have been t Friendship, In. all last week running a shooting range at the national muzzle loading championships. It wore me out. I see everybody has been busy. Fred got his bears through college. They must be smart bears. I recall that it took me a little longer than that. Marshas has ben giving Alex a little tutoring and Alex has picked up on it very well.
Asusanrac I have said before I don't care much for abstract works. Yours I like because it has familiar objects, a lot of color and interesting angels. Well done
Bonnie your mother waiting shows how motherhood is the same in all cultures.
Marsha your Water soluble graphite has worked out nice the red door really makes it.
C and C always welcomed
Jen, I missed commenting on your "king of the class" drawing. He has such a sweet, hopeful expression on his face.
Fred, the "bears go to school" is one of your most endearing series. And, I like that you got some current social commentary in about education funding. I do apologize - just realized that I've sometimes called Minnie Ruthie by mistake!
Susan Rae, so nice to see you and your charming, whimsical painting of the crayons. I love the way you applied the water colors thickly so they resembled melted crayons.

text: Calpe is located in the north of the Costa Blanca it is about an hours drive from Alicante Airport and roughly 25 minutes drive from Benidorm . The resort Like all coastal towns has grown up from a small fishing village into a large tourist area, Calpe however has had the fortune not to spring up overnight and whilst there is a built up high rise centre to the town there is also a working harbour and an old town and the resort spreads out along both sides of the isthmus. Dominated by the spectacular rock of Ifach(penon de Ifach) which stretches out to sea for almost a kilometre. It looks like ideal rock climbing territory, the rock is actually a protected natural reserve but tours are available. The town was traditionally a popular resort with German tourists, but like the rest of the coast travellers are now moving around more and now tourist areas rarely have a distinctive nationality other than Spanish. The old harbour now plays neighbour to a modern marina which gives the town a very international feel. The choice of food is superb with excellent fish restaurants around the harbour area. Calpe is a lively bustling town and there is plenty of nightlife but definitely not a party town for 18-30s ,so its a resort that the family can enjoy. There are three main beaches in the area Passeo Maritimo, Levante o la fossa and La calagla. They are all excellent blue flag beaches, although the white sands of Levante is our favourite. If you fancy a wild night out there are regular buses to Benidorm which is less than 30 minutes away, or if you want to see some fantastic sites on your travels then explore the narrow gauge railway that runs from Alicante to Denia.

Title: | Tour de Gauzlin |
Caption: | View from west of the Tour de Gauzlin, named for the abbot who commissioned it, at Saint-Benoit-sur-Loire Abbey. The west "porch-tower" was begun in 1020, but was probably not completed until around 1070. The lower level serves as a porch for the west entrance, while the taller upper level houses the Chapel of St. Michael (not accessible to the public). There was once a third level, but this was removed in 1525 and replaced by the present unusual roof in the 17th century. With three portals on each side, the tower is a model of the New Jerusalem as described in Revelation 21: "And it had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates... on the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates." The bottom level is open and divided into nine squares by pillars and transverse arches. The columns are decorated with narrative capitals of c.1070-80, including scenes from Revelation. |

Exploration step one: Equip yourself with reliable equipment. A beacon, probe, and shovel are essential, while the rest of this gear will make life much easier—and safer. Step two (here's the important part): Educate yourself. Ski with partners you trust, and make levelheaded decisions. The backcountry requires some prep work.
October 6, 2010
This ski doesn't pretend to be accessible to lower-level skiers, and that's why our expert women loved it. Like the Enforcer, it returns revamped with mild rocker, which makes it easier to initiate and a bit more maneuverable. But it hasn't lost its tenacious edge grip or preference for high speeds and wide-open spaces. It's a Western ski, no doubt, but Eastern transplants accustomed to tipping skis and trusting edges will feel right at home—and it skis powder much better than the skinny boards they're used to.
October 6, 2010
Like the Gotama, the Kiku employs rocker throughout its length, which translates to nimble handling in trees and chutes and nice planing capability for powder and chop. Absolutely unflappable at speed, this women's big-mountain ski is smooth and stable charging wide-open bowls or straightlining tracked-up powder. Testers all preferred the 170-centimeter model over the less nimble 178, and stronger women who weigh more than 130 pounds liked it most. Another great example of a rockered ski that performs admirably on groomed snow.
October 6, 2010
Here's a women's ski for women who don't typically buy women's skis—those powerful skiers who straightline chop and charge wide-open bowls. If you're a pack-leader type, the 108 provides controlled, fluid skiing in any conditions. Mild tip rocker makes for easy initiation and surfs the ski's front section calmly over crud and powder. Our testers couldn't find its speed limit. It's not for the faint of leg or heart, but if you like to air, stomp, smear, and carve, the MX108 does too.
July 7, 2010
Here's a sneak peak at a 2010-2011 women's ski from Black Diamond called the Starlet. We had a chance to test this women's early-rise, lightweight powder ski during an early morning backcountry tour in Utah's Little Cottonwood Canyon.
April 26, 2010
A lightweight carbon-fiber helmet. A glove that can pick up a sewing needle. Swedish sunglasses. Kids' rockered skis. Start saving now: You're going to want some of this new gear for next winter's ski season.

After watching a video about Magic in Technology I was thinking of how it could have been fake. The first video was about the Magic in IPods. He kept moving the IPods to make it look like different images. I don't know how he did it but it was really neat! The second video was this big type screen and there was a person on it! I think the did it with a projecter to make it all work! The guy preted to draw on the screen but really I think it was worked by the projecter! So here is the first video with the IPods.

Forty years is a monumental amount of time for any band to be together, but for Kansas guitarist Richard Williams, the milestone event seems pretty normal.

Bach's Herd of Harpsichords IV
La Follia offers this fourth installment in this enormously popular series, featuring the quintessential baroque instrument: the harpsichord, backed by the full La Follia chamber orchestra.
We begin with a fine Bach concerto for solo harpsichord. Then we turn our attention to works written for harpsichord and orchestra from the 20th century by Argento, Heggie, Leigh, and Rutter. Don't worry! This is not "stiff stuff", but highly listenable, very enjoyable music which will surprise and delight you. JiMin Kim and Jeffrey-Jones Ragona join director Keith Womer on harpsichord. David Stevens, tenor, and Marcus McGuff, flute, also guest star.

La Follia performs music from the Kroměříž collection. The collection represents religious and secular music composed by over 100 composers from 1664-1695, collected by Karl II von Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn during his tenure as Prince-Bishop of Olomouc (Olmütz) in the Czech Republic. Guest violinist and Kroměříž scholar Mimi Mitchell joins La Follia in presenting music by Vejvanovsky, Kerll, Biber, Bertali, Ritter and others.
Earlier in the week, La Follia will perform this concert for the Annual Meeting of the Society for Seventeenth-Century Music in San Antonio. We are eager to share this wondrous music with Austin audiences.

Improving Skin with Cosmetic Acupuncture
By: Katie Schaefer, Cosmetics & Toiletries magazine
Posted: September 29, 2009, from the October 2009 issue of Cosmetics & Toiletries.
Cosmetic acupuncture is as old as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and was combined with Chinese herbs when practiced by Imperial concubines and empresses for the attention of the emperor, according to Michelle O'Shaughnessy, DOM, esthetician and founder of the Aesthetic Acupuncture Clinic in Orlando, Fla., USA. Cosmetic acupuncture is said to address skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, dryness, sagging and wrinkles. However, only in recent years has the practice become popular worldwide.
There are three forms of cosmetic acupuncture: Meizen cosmetic acupuncture, facial rejuvenation acupuncture and the acupuncture facelift. These treatments are focused on the principles of TCM, where qi is the vital energy flow in the body. In her book on TCM,1 O'Shaughnessy adds that, "using TCM, signs of deficiency or excess can be found by analyzing different aspects of the body, including the face, the tongue and the paths of energy that travel through the body (meridians). TCM uses treatments like acupuncture, Chinese herbs and dietary recommendations to bring the body back to harmony."
Yin and Yang Theory
O'Shaughnessy described how skin conditions are addressed through acupuncture points on the body. The body's meridians are classified as either yin or yang. While yang meridians are connected to hollow organs like the stomach and intestines, yin meridians are associated with solid organs like the liver, spleen or heart.
The locations chosen for needle application depend upon the individual's skin concern. "Dry skin is a yin deficiency," said O'Shaughnessy, who added, "yin is responsible for the fluid while yang is responsible for the function of the organs."
According to O'Shaughnessy, yin dries up with age, resulting in wrinkles, rosacea, dry skin and hyperpigmentation. Conversely, yang deficiency results in pale skin, clogged pores and sagging around the neck and eyelids. "To address the yin deficiency of dry skin, I would target Spleen 6, which is a spot three inches above the ankle, to begin producing fluid in the body," said O'Shaughnessy, who targets a number of other body points.

08-20-2012, 05:12 PM #2The "Iron Duke", this I4 engine has an iron block; and, I think the addition of a sleeve is normal repair for this engine (of course, that depends upon the size of the crack you are trying to fix.
The sleeve needs to go in from the deck (top of block) and is held in place with a grove cut into the top of the boreRay

it's just a hair line crack about middle way's in the number 1 cylinder. and I'm worried that is where the water is getting in to my oil at but i'm not sure unless i can find someone to test and see how bad the crack is.
08-20-2012, 11:02 PM #4It's possible to do, I havent heard of a shop that does this type work in a long time, its not economical to do any more most shops just replace the block.
But I'm sure if you spend a little time searching you'll find a quality shop that can do the job.
In one of its old versions that engine block was sleeved from the factory to cut down the displacement, dont remember what vehicle it was used on anymore though.

08-23-2012, 03:31 PM #7Most shops don't wanna mess with a cracked block any more. It's to labor intensive, meaning expensive, to do. Especially when there clean, rebuildable blocks littering wreaking yards all over the country.

All these years you've been picking your own characters. But nobody got to choose their own life.
"I want to be a cute red-head with a black-belt in five martial arts!" "You're a homely brunette with weak knees, but you can sing."
So you're going to make characters and PM them to me, then I'm going to swap them around. (This idea came from this roleplay, which was never created.) That way you get your life handed to you (with the power to change it, of course. Dye your hair red in the first post if you like.) without the GM having too much power.
Just plan character swapping isn't interesting enough for me, so they all get superpowers too. And these will be swapped to someone who didn't suggest them and didn't get the character suggested by the suggestor, so I get to swap more.
As to how these people got their powers...
The setting is a small town (so I don't have to keep track of a bunch of NPCs; think Mayberry) in the Mojave desert, near the Nevada Test Site. The radiation affected pregnant women, though they didn't know it. When they gave birth their babies seemed normal, but when the children hit puberty strange things happened to them, as if the new hormones activated a hidden element.
Since the last bombing was in September of 1992, None of our characters can have a birthday after June of 1993. So if it's set at the current time, the youngest would be 21. That's okay, but it would also be okay for it to be set as far back as the Bush years. Up to you.
I haven't decided that villain/catastrophic event/political dilemma/social unrest to use to push the story forward and am open to all suggestions.
Anyone like this concept?

I know that post workout you want to take simple carbs to replenish your glucose levels and force this into your muslce to become glycogen (or something like that)
normally how long do you insulin levels stay elevated so you can utilize this simple carbs post workout...I was under the impression it was immidietly to up till maybe an hour post workout...
however my friend was telling me that if u start post workout, and keep a sustained/constant level of simple carbs and protein going into your system you can keep your insulin levels elevated for 3+ hrs thus utilizing the insulin spike to store additional glycogen in your muslce cells. . .
