OPEN DAILY 7:30am - 9:30pm
This seemingly decadent dessert is something all can enjoy: it's gluten-free, raw, vegan, is only lightly sweetened, and it incredibly delicious! Be sure to start the cashews soaking at least six hours before you'd like to serve it.
This meal-sized salad is summer on a plate.
A marinade of yogurt, orange, cumin, and saffron flavor these juicy chicken kebabs. Served with lime wedges and lavash or pita, it's a special but deceptively easy meal.
Classic, cool, and refreshing cucumber salads are a welcome summer side dish, and a nice counter to grilled meats.
This is a really fast, easy dinner, and ideally suited to summer: no cooking required!
Summer squash soaks up the garlic, herbs, and lemon in this marinade like a sponge, and bursts with flavor after a quick turn on the grill. Use the extra marinade (you'll have some leftover) to drizzle over a grain salad, or to grill more vegetables.
Turkish people know how to cook vegetables like no one else, and these incredible zucchini fritters are no exception. Served with an easy salad of sliced tomatoes drizzled in olive oil, this is a perfect summer meal.
Carnitas basically cooks itself. After four hours in the oven with garlic and chilies, it's packed with flavor and makes a great meal served with warm corn tortillas and all the fixings.

It's pretty hard to find AV stuff without ' 1080p ' emblazoned on it in some way. The Samsung HT-TXQ120R is no different. This 5.1 surround-sound system proudly proclaims '1080p upscaling' across the front of the main unit.
But if you have a 1080p screen, are you still in the market for buying a DVD player with a 5.1 decoder and speakers? We suspect you'll probably be enjoying hi-def games or films on Blu-ray or HD DVD rather than relying on your old DVDs. Does the Samsung satisfy those who do still want DVD playback and 5.1 sound with a smattering of upscaling? And does it justify the £700 price tag?
You'll need to love the look of this system before you spend this kind of money on surround sound, and it isn't for everyone. If you like the quirky stand-mounted DVD player, you'll probably think this system would look good in your home.
The main unit is finished in piano black -- no surprise there, really -- and has a large, blue LED-based display. This does mean that in a darkened room, the system can prove distracting.
In terms of connectivity, the main unit has two digital audio inputs -- both of which are optical -- plus one HDMI input and one HDMI out. The inclusion of extra digital audio inputs is a good move, and it means you can hook your games console and other gear up easily.
In total, getting everything unboxed and plugged in took about 45 minutes. If you're using the speaker stands -- it's possible to wall-mount the speakers if you choose -- you'll need to screw the stands together. The same goes for the main unit.
The remote control is confusingly similar to the one you get with Samsung TVs -- we were testing this unit with its new 50-inch plasma , so a few times we picked up the wrong remote control. The good news is the DVD remote can also control a TV, which means you can probably just hide your other controller away.
The Samsung can upscale to 1080p via HDMI, which is an
impressive feature, at least on paper. The reality of upscaling video
to 1080p is that it won't improve the quality. The most important part
of these players is how well they deinterlace video, and we didn't
really have any complaints about how the Samsung handled this.
The Samsung supports a good range of formats, including DivX, XviD, MP3, WMA and even the high-definition audio format SACD. The inclusion of support for SACD is a little confusing. While we always welcome extra playback options, SACD is hardly something with mass-market appeal, and people with SACD collections are more likely to buy a component-based hi-fi system.

Charity Chat
More mingling was on the menu the next night at the annual Two Ten Footwear Foundation dinner, held at the traditional venue, Manhattan's Marriott Marquis. Insider caught up with Titan Industries head, Joe Ouaknine, who said that after the acquisition last week of Penny Loves Kenny, he's not looking for any more brands. "I need to get rid of some!" he said, before quickly adding that he was only kidding. "I have to have too much to do or else I can't focus." Blake Krueger of Wolverine World Wide interrupted a confab with colleagues (including Wolverine and Two Ten chair Tim O'Donovan) to say he was starting to feel a little better about the overall business climate. "We're going to be fine," he said with a smile, "but don't tell that to my employees!" Modern Vintage's Rick Cytrynbaum was missing the company of his favorite collaborator, new mom and BFF Nicole Richie, whose recent bout with pneumonia had left her unable to be at any FFANY-related events. But Cytrynbaum said he was hoping she could make the scene at the next Shoes on Sale. Jay Piccola, head of Puma North America, was feeling great about the Black Friday opening of the brand's newest location, on Chicago's State Street. Piccola said the store had "exceeded expections" for its opening numbers and was holding its own in what he characterized as an "item-driven" holiday season. And The Shoe Mill's Ed Habre also had expansion on the brain, saying he's itching to grow his successful, Portland, Ore.-based, seven-store operation. "It has to be the right space, that's definitely most important, but we have the capital to do it and there is a lot of availability out there." Habre dished that he's currently taking a look at three locations in the region, though no decisions have been made.

The Eaton-Houdon Écorché is my update of the classical anatomy figure by 18th Century sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon. His original l'Écorché sculpture, produced in 1767 during his time in Rome, has been used by artists studying anatomy for centuries. It is celebrated for its balance, gesture and proportions but, to the trained eye, has always contained a handful of anatomical inaccuracies. Combine this with an overall loss of detail resulting from centuries of re-casting and the piece was in need of both an accuracy update and a sharpening of details. The result is shown above.

I recently had the opportunity to collaborate with legendary artist Jeff Koons on one of his projects – a larger than life-sized sculpture of Lady Gaga. After some absurd deadlines and a lot of sculpting, the piece was unveiled in New York at #artRave a huge launch party for Lady Gaga's ARTPOP album.
It is amazing to finally see the piece finished and in public. From what I have seen it looks pretty impressive (if for no other reason than the monumental scale). I am still not sure what it means but I guess that is for Jeff to answer.

The White Horse is finally installed in London. This is the project of artist Mark Wallinger and was originally planned as a towering 50m tall horse (as tall as the Statue of Liberty) to be erected in the countryside of Kent and visible from the Eurostar. But around the big crash, arts budgets downsized and so did the scale of the horse. Now it is only a very average 'life-sized', but it is still striking in its crisp white finish and realism. About a year ago I worked with the team from Sample & Hold to refine the digital version of the horse, based on a scan of Mark's actual horse. I spent time adding anatomical accuracy and life to the head, face, legs, and hooves (at the time my horse skills were primed, having just finished Spielberg's War Horse).
After a bit of massaging the data was sent off for fabrication. Through a combination of 3d printing, CNC machining, and casting, the piece was brought to life – albeit at a scale smaller than originally intended. But if you are in London and want to check it out, it will be on display on the Mall (just off Trafalgar Square) for two years.
I recently contributed to this ambitious visual effects project. If you haven't yet seen the Galaxy chocolate ad with the reincarnated Audrey Hepburn it is worth checking out here. The piece is bound to stir up controversy – bringing a beloved actress back from the dead to flog chocolate bars may not be everyone's idea of good taste. However, the technical achievement is clearly impressive and full credit should be given to the visual effects team at Framestore for pulling it off with very tight deadlines!
Zombies are everywhere this year – WWZ, Plants Versus Zombies (2), the Walking Dead, the Last of Us, and on and on. They are taking over the world and I am partly responsible for this zombie apocalypse as I developed some of the early concept art for World War Z.
Here are a couple of the zombie "studies" I did for the film. Perhaps not to everyone's taste, but as someone commented on my Facebook page, there is touch of Giacometti in them. Yes, I try to bring art to zombies.

I recently gave a talk to some young students and had to dig through my archives to find interesting things to show. This digital excavation unearthed quite a few clips, images and drawings that I don't think have seen the light of day here, so I am starting a new series of 'pastblast' posts – showing older things that are still cool and trying to giving a little bit more background on the original project.
This old guy was an early character sculpt for the film Wrath of the Titans. The script called for three Cyclops – two brothers, and an aged father. Hopefully my design skills are at least good enough that you can tell this one is supposed to be the father!
Here is a work-in-progress image from a collaboration with two old colleagues from my days at the MIT Media Lab. They are conceptual designers working on a project to visualize the effects of zero-gravity on human form. The exhibition will have many aspects but my contribution will be two life-sized 3d-printed heads showing the difference in form between a man raised on earth versus a man raised in space. The image above shows the man raised on earth. The next step is to reverse the effects of gravity and UV exposure, and then get these off to the 3d printer. More images coming soon…
OK, it may or may not be a quality movie but there are decent visual effects in there. The CGChannel website has an article talking about the visual effects behind Wrath of the Titans. I designed and sculpted the three Cyclops in the film and then nurtured them, like giant one-eyed children, through much of the post-production process. My design process is always firmly grounded in the plausibility of the anatomy I am creating and the cycloptic eyes proved an interesting challenge (with mixed success). Below are a couple images of the concept sculptures I create while working up the body types and personalities of the three Cyclops – the aged father and the two brothers.

I have been busy over the past months revising and updating Jean-Antoine Houdon's classic L'Ecorché sculpture for the soon to be released iOS App of the same name. The app is a collaboration between myself and legendary character sculptor Michael Defeo. I will post more on the app, including some behind-the-scenes 'making of' videos, soon.
Until then, please check out the app's Kickstarter project for more information.
The next session of the Digital Figure Sculpture Course is getting ready to start on so I thought I would post this image from the culminating exercise and also talk a little bit more about the philosophy and goals of the course.
Simply, the goal of the course is to teach students how to create more naturalistic figure sculptures. Too often artists struggle to breathe life into their figures and are left scratching their heads as to what went wrong. There are many stages where things can go off track but most often it is inexperience with anatomy, planes, volumes, and proportions. Everyone wants to jump straight in and put muscles onto their sculptures but in their zealousness they forget the critical construction and proportions that hold things together. The course guides artists through the entire process.
Continue reading »
The final week of the course covers the tools and techniques used to refine the figure in ZBrush. This lesson concentrates on refining small forms and plane transitions, but emphasizes correct placement and scale relative to larger forms and proportions. Finally, all good sculptures need to be photographed (rendered) and presented well to look their best so there is a culminating lecture on lighting and rendering outside of ZBrush. In this video Scott talks about the fundamentals of lighting and shows his rendering techniques in Maya and also gives a short preview of Luxion's Keyshot renderer.
This week artists continue their full figure sculptures by sculpting the hands and hair. The techniques for refining the hands are largely a review of the workflows used in Week4's exercise, but sculpting the hair in ZBrush is an entirely new topic. Sculpting hair is a very difficult thing because it requires a level of artistic abstraction to translate the flowing fibrous forms of hair into a tangible sculptural surface. Because the process is so intangible every artist eventually develops their own style for sculpting hair. This week's lessons show Scott's approach to sculpting hair in ZBrush. They cover his tools and techniques for general hair sculpting, how ZSpheres/ZSketch can be used for hair, and also how the new DynaMesh features can be used to create interesting, complex styles. (and yes, the model does have a crazy double ponytail!)
This week students tackle the most difficult task of all – the portrait. Continuing with their posed figures in Zbrush, they learn how to tackle the portrait like a traditional sculptor would: establishing the relationship between critical landmarks on the skull, constructing the features, establishing the profile, and refining the planes. This week's lectures cover the critical aspects of facial anatomy and portraiture and then give an extensive ZBrush walk-through of Scott sculpting the example figure above. The unabridged session shows every stroke that is need to take the face from start to finish.
After a week-long mid-term break, artists are starting their final five-week full-figure sculptures. They begin by proportioning a simple base mesh to match the life model. These proportions are based on a set of measurements taken from the model using calipers, the way a traditional sculptor would approach setting up his armature. Once the proportions are established, we cover how to build a ZSphere rig, a powerful but underused technique in ZBrush for posing a model. From here artists get to choose one of three poses for their final figure sculpture and they use their ZSphere rigs to pose their mesh. The challenge in this early stage of the full-figure sculpture is to establish to correct weight, balance, and gesture on the figure, a task easier said than done.
This week artist explore the forms of the legs. Using reference from a male ballet dancer they build a leg fragment in ZBrush and refine it in a standing position – paying attention to the large masses of the quadriceps, hamstrings, and adductor muscles, and then the bony and tendinous structure of the knee. From here they transpose the knee 90 degrees and re-examine the forms of the leg, paying special attention to the stretching and contraction of opposing muscles groups and the changes in the bony structure of the knee. Lastly, they have fun with Zbrush's DynaMesh feature and chop their leg sculptures into three pieces, whittling down the middle third into the exposed bones of the knee. The goal is give artists a deep understanding of the construction of the knee, one of the hardest joints of the body to understand and depict successfully.
In addition to two hours of video showing Scott executing the exercises above, this week includes Tools & Techniques videos on using ZBrush's Morph Targets and also how Scott uses PolyPainting to maintain consistency in landmarks and muscle flow when posing a figure.
In Week 4 artists investigate the hands in-depth. Hands are one of the most difficult parts of the body to sculpt and demand the utmost attention to construction, proportions, form, and gesture to do successfully. They are second only to the face in expressiveness so we spend the entire week doing a single detailed study of the hands in Zbrush. The lessons learned here will be important to transfer to the full-figure sculptures started in week 6. After a lecture covering the anatomy and proportions of the hands, artists sculpt using the best reference available – their own hands. This week also includes lectures on making hands using Zbrush's flexible and quite useful ZSpheres and reading assignments from George Bridgman and Andrew Loomis.
As many of you already know, the second session of my online Digital Figure Sculpture course is underway. A group of artists are hard at work learning new techniques in ZBrush and studying hard to make great progress as figure sculptors. To give everybody a taste of the types of projects they are working on week-to-week, I have started a blog where I will post updates as the course progresses. If you have an interest in ZBrush and figure sculpture, check it out.
Digital Figure Sculpture Course: Weekly Blog
Weekly Fragments:
During the first half of the course, students complete weekly studies that focus on areas of the body in isolation. These are a few of the ZBrush exercises that students are shown how to complete.
This week artists refine their knowledge of the forms of the upper arm and the forearms. In Zbrush, they start with ZSpheres and build a shoulder "fragment" that is cutoff mid-chest. From here they sculpt the forms of the arm flexed to 90 degrees with the hand supinated (palm-up). Once this sculpture is complete they transpose the forearm from supinated to pronated and adjust the forms and flows of the muscles accordingly (paying special attention to the new alignment of the flexor and extensor muscles of the forearm). One final transpose extends the arm at the elbow, and all the forms of the upper arm – biceps, triceps, brachialis, are modified.
In the second week we continue with the torso, but now focusing on the articulation of the shoulder as the arm is raised. We do a comprehensive investigation of what is known as the "scapulo-humeral rhythm" – the ratio of scapular rotation to arm elevation. Students sculpt a torso with the arms at the side and them modify the sculpture moving the arms through 45, 90, 135, and 180 degrees of rotation. The 0 and 180 extremes are shown above. In ZBrush artists start with a base mesh and use Transpose and masking to rotate the arm and scapula in the correct ratio. Each pose is stored on a ZBrush layer, and the subdivided mesh is sculpted at high resolution to capture all the subtleties of the muscular forms at different articulations. Students are lead through the exercise by a series of videos showing Scott sculpting the torsos in ZBrush.
During the first week of the Digital Figure Sculpture course students concentrate on sculpting one male and one female torso. They work on the torso in isolation in order to focus on the task at hand, without distraction from unfinished areas like arms, hands, and heads. The torsos are created using ZSpheres as a base and then refined using Zbrush's new DynaMesh feature. There are short technical how-to videos that explain the new features of Zbrush and then a comprehensive Working Example showing Scott creating the torso above from start to finish.
Here are a couple images of a digital sculpture that I did for a 'recently released pirate movie'. At the time the film was in early preproduction and this piece was more speculative design than anything concrete for the film, though it is loosely tied to an event in the script. The piece also has thinly veiled references to Damien Hirst's infamous pickled shark sculpture. For more details on how I created the sculpture keep reading below.
The first digital prototype of Scott's iPad docking station has been seen in the wild. For anyone new to the project, find concept sketches here.
"A stylish docking station for syncing, charging and display. An evocative blend of ancient fertility symbolism and modern technology worship. I want one!"

We're still a few weeks away from the big tournament in Brazil, but a mini-World Cup comes to Toyota Soccer Center this weekend with the third-annual MoneyGram Nations Cup.
The MoneyGram Nations Cup was organized in 2012 to promote outreach and unity in the local DFW community through the game of soccer and in 2014 we will celebrate the third year of the tournament. 16 teams have been drawn into four groups in a World Cup-style tournament that will determine the 2014 MoneyGram Nations Cup champion.
All group stage games will take place on Saturday, May 31st throughout the day leading up to the FC Dallas vs. San Jose game, and the knockout round semi-finals and finals will be on Sunday, June 1.
Admission is free to all games and we encourage all FC Dallas fans to come out early on Saturday afternoon to take in a little bit of the soccer carnival atmosphere! There will be plenty of fun for the kids with face painting, balloon artist and a soccer-shaped bounce house as well as pizza from Cici's sno-cones and other treats!
On Field 10, the Ultimate Soccer Experience will be set up with different interactive stations including soccer bowling, soccer basketball and a 1-on-1 competition while an EA Sports FIFA 14 station offers the chance to win bragging rights over your friends.
In addition, everyone who attends the MoneyGram Nations Cup will have the opportunity to win a brand new 2014 FC Dallas jersey by Tweeting your most creative photo from the 2014 Nations Cup using #NationsCup14 and here at FCDallas.com we have a special contest where you can win an FCD prize pack featuring a Raul Fernandez signed ball!

FRISCO - Tomorrow in Lisbon, another UEFA Champions League winner will be crowned and perhaps the biggest Atletico Madrid fan lives right here in Frisco and patrols the midfield for FC Dallas.
Midfielder Peter Luccin, who was back on the bench for FC Dallas in Wednesday's loss in Los Angeles after missing the last six weeks with a leg injury, spent three years with Los Colchoneros from 2004-2007, having played with current Atletico coach Diego "Cholo" Simeone in that first 2004-2005 season.
"I played for years at Atletico Madrid and I can't explain what is happening over there because they have very, very good players," Luccin said after training a couple weeks ago. "But for me it's a team thing and a "Simeone" thing, the coach who does a very good job."
Last Saturday at the historic Nou Camp in Barcelona, Atleti won La Liga for the first time since 1996 with a 1-1 draw against Barcelona and Luccin says a third team infringing on the normal big two of Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spanish soccer is definitely a good thing.
"It's always been just two teams, but it's good for the champoinship because last year it was so easy. It's Real Madrid and Barcelona 20 points ahead," said Luccin. "So now we know and understand there's another team. It's amazing, but Atletico Madrid is a very good and historic team. Now the thing is changing and it's good for the championship."
As for Simeone, currently the toast of European soccer, Luccin says that his teammates always knew the man known as "Cholo" would one day be a manager.
"I played one year with him and he was an aggressive player, a very passionate player and of course I could see he would be a coach one day," said Luccin. "Everyone thought he would be a coach. He does a very very good job…we can see 11 players running 90 minutes and it's not easy. There's good technique, but the fitness is so important with that team."
Looking ahead to Saturday's UEFA Champions League Final, the man who spent a good portion of his life in Madrid says he's happy that both the city's teams are in the final and, surprisingly said he likes both teams. However, there's no question who Luccin is cheering for on Saturday.
"I'm a big, big, big fan. It's a little bit strange to say I like both teams, but I'm happy to see both teams in the final," said Luccin. "It's strange. If you talked to any Atletico fan, it would be hard, but me, I like Madrid. I like the city so I like both teams but I want to see Atletico Madrid win the Champions League

Scott & Daniel break down the biggest talking points in tonight's match vs LA Galaxy with our Toyota Keys to the Match:
MLSsoccer.com's Dan Haiek & Matt Doyle break down the key points of Saturday's game:
Saturday's match against Chivas USA is the second opponent this season that FC Dallas will be seeing for the second time in 2014 after facing Seattle for the second time last week.
Last time out, FC Dallas and Chivas USA played to a physical, rough-and-tumble, 3-1 win for FC Dallas. After a relatively dull first half, the match sprang to life in the second half as Mauro Diaz, Hendry Thomas and Fabian Castillo combined to produce the first goal of the match in the 71st minute.
Just seven minutes later, a trademark pass from Diaz sprang Je-Vaughn Watson free on goal and the Jamaican made no mistake rounding Dan Kennedy and scoring to put Dallas up 2-0. Things got interesting just a few minutes later as Erick "Cubo" Torres pulled Chivas USA within a goal at 2-1, but Michel's late free kick goal sealed all three points for FC Dallas who are 6-2-6 all-time against Chivas USA at home.
Saturday's final visit from Chivas USA kicks off at 7:30PM and tickets can be purchased here(TICKETS - FC Dallas vs Chivas USA - Saturday, May 17, 7:30PM ).

She only has two options at this point, one of which would result in only failure. I don't know how, but somehow she is going to find out about us, and she is going to come for us.Nightmare Moon was a fool to let her go. She had Celestia right in her hoof, but she let her desire for revenge get the better of her. She just wants to toy with her, make her slog through every bit of misery she can conjure up. And it's because she knows Celestia can take it.If anything will be her downfall, it will be letting Celestia live. She thinks she can keep Celestia down forever, but this is foolish. Celestia is a threat to her, and she does not take it seriously.But I do. And I believe that soon I will find out how much of a threat she can be. The path of fate will lead her right to my doorstep.Then I will find out if she is capable of doing what so many others ha

Nopony is to disturb them." the colt firmly stated.She brushed her pure black hoof in the dirt before frowning and turning to leave. As she did the door opened and the head of a pure white alicorn came out. The alicorn looked down and saw the young mare turning to leave."Oh." She looked at the mare. "Hello pony, what are you here for?"The mare turned around at the sound of Celestia' voice. "I wanted to speak to you and Luna regarding the current state of the tribes."Celestia raised her eyebrows. Not many ponies wanted to talk about politics before, let alone someone so young. Celestia looked at the mare, they looked like somepony who had something important they wanted t

What's Your Why?
06/22/2012Nietzsche probably said it best when he declared that "he who has a why to live can bear almost any how". It helps to explain how Viktor Frankl could lose everything, including his family and life's work in a concentration camp to emerge and eventually become a highly influential psychiatrist. It helps us to understand how Nelson Mandela could spend 27 years in prison and still come out to be a leader and world changer. Both of these men had a dream, a purpose and a vision that even the most dire of circumstances couldn't erase. In fact, it could be argued that these dire circumstances...

Reflections on What Meaning Means
06/21/2012One major aspect that makes Existential Psychology stand out from other models of psychology is that we use a different Psychological Currency. What we value is Meaning as the great contributor toward an individual's psychological health. Without meaning in one's life, there is little to help the individual live with vitality. Other psychologies emphasize instincts, thought patterns, stimulus and response patterns, but meaning is our ingredient. Recently, I have begun to ask myself what meaning is. Like most good questions, I have found that this is not an easy question to answer. But I will...

Why Do You Ask?
06/21/2012So much of how we make sense of the world starts with the questions we choose to ask. At the same time, the questions we choose to ask are shaped by the way we make sense of the world. Which came first, the question or the answer? A great example of how one can trace the source of our questions to our frames of reference can be found in Edwin A. Abbot's 1884 novella, Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions. Abbot invented a two-dimensional world populated by various polygons as a satirical commentary on the social hierarchies of Victorian culture. In world of Flatland, the more sides you...

Narrative, Personal Identity, and Method
06/20/2012In addition to teaching Husserlian phenomenology, I work with a number of students whose primary interest is narrative, and in response I've recently turned to works by writers including Paul Ricoeur—in particular, Oneself as Another (1995)—and Donald Spence's (1982) Narrative Truth and Historical Truth: Meaning and Interpretation in Psychoanalysis. What follows are some initial reflections prompted by these writers' complex meditations upon the meaning of "narrative," in response to the needs of my students. Why should we reflect on narrative? Aren't we interested in "narratives," plural? In...

Creating Space: A Critical Aspect of Sustainability
06/20/2012I was recently asked what I was currently working on to support sustainable life on the planet. Over the years, I have been doing my part by recycling, reducing my consumption, reducing carbon usage, and bringing sustainability conversations into my university and other groups in which I participate; however, when I reflected on this question, what I realized I am doing now is creating space in my life and work as a way to sustain my own energy and relationships. My purpose is to both become more creative and effective in all that I do, but to provide others with an experience of space....

Leadership Development and Transformational Change
06/19/2012Even though the study of transformational change in organizations has become a popular research topic in the fields of management and leadership studies, it appears that only one in three change initiatives has been deemed successful, according to studies and publications by McKinsey & Company. Social scientists, psychologists and organizational developers have amassed thousands of volumes about change management and the role of leadership in change initiatives; however, these resources have not altered the success ratio in transformational change since statistics started to appear in the...

Rethinking Treatment Strategies for Suicidal Soldiers
06/18/2012Many veterans and soldiers of combat (around the world) become lost into traumatic experience, never fully returning to what may have been former selves, ways of being, and ultimately, a lost sense of meaning and relatedness. Finding no sense of meaning after having to see comrades die, killing another human being, or even being continually "on guard" in perpetual fear of a threat that cannot always be seen (and often projected upon an image of a certain faces of a culture that is then equated to "enemy"), many soldiers and veterans see their once understood foundation of selfness to break—a...

A Tribute to a Dissertation Chair: Honoring Constance T. Fischer
The relationship between graduate students and University faculty is often a complex and rich one. The dissertation chair plays an especially pivotal role in the final stages of the PhD student's career and in the launching of his or her career. On June 3, I had the opportunity to attend the retirement party for Constance T. Fischer, my own dissertation chair at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. I will share some observations about Connie Fischer's contributions to our understanding of human behavior and just touch on her contributions to my career.

Remembering Paul Fussell 1924 – 2012
06/15/2012Paul Fussell, professor, literary scholar, expert on the First and Second World Wars, social historian, and a critic of popular culture, died on May 23rd at age 88. Words frequently used to describe Paul are curmudgeon and stingingly opinionated—I would agree with these words. Paul was not a person who "suffered fools gladly"—or at least those people he considered to be fools. I experienced Paul as a brilliant thinker who was not afraid to make pronouncements—no matter how controversial or politically incorrect they might be. I was acquainted with Paul Fussell through his wife, Harriette...

Sitting at a picnic table in the gravel parking lot of a seafood shack stuffing a lobster roll in your face is a summer ritual in New England. And while what you mix with the lobster for the filling is the subject of debate, one thing is not: Don't skimp on the lobster! This recipe contains the three most important ingredients for a lobster roll: steamed lobster, real mayo (not that sweet salad dressing), and chopped celery. Piled into a buttered, toasted, top-split hot dog bun and served next to a cup of clam chowder, it's a little taste of "summah" on the Cape in your own backyard.
Special equipment: You will need a seafood cracker for this recipe.
What to buy: If you purchase precooked lobster meat, you will need about 1 cup of chopped meat (about 5 to 6 ounces).
Top-split hot dog buns may be difficult to find outside New England, but they can be purchased online. Alternatively, trim off the outside edges of regular hot dog buns before buttering them.
- 1Fill a large pot with 1 inch of water and stir in the measured salt. Add a steamer rack to the pot. (If you don't have a steamer rack, lightly bunch a long piece of foil so that it looks like a rope. Then make a figure eight out of the foil rope and set it in the pot.)
- 2Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the lobster to the pot head-first, cover with a tightfitting lid, and return the water to a full boil. Reduce the heat and cook at a gentle boil until the lobster is bright red, about 14 minutes from the time it went into the pot. Check its doneness by pulling on an antenna: If the antenna comes out with no resistance, the lobster is done. Remove the lobster to a rimmed baking sheet and let it sit until it's cool enough to handle.
- 3Using your hands, twist and separate the tail from the body. Twist and remove both of the claws where they meet the lobster body; set the claws aside. Discard the head and torso.
- 4Starting with the tail, remove the small, wispy flippers on the underside of the shell. Using a fork, pierce the exposed tail meat and slowly twist and pull it out of the shell in one piece. Rinse any white debris off of the tail meat and set it aside on a cutting board. Discard the shell of the tail.
- 5Twist the claws and separate them from the legs; set the legs aside. Gently wiggle and pull the smaller part of the pincer shell off each claw. Using a seafood cracker, gently crack the claws, remove the meat, and set it aside on the cutting board. Crack the legs, remove the meat, and set it aside on the cutting board.
- 6Check the meat for any cartilage or shell and discard it. Coarsely chop the reserved meat and place it in a medium bowl. (You should have about 1 cup.)
- 7Add the celery and mayonnaise, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 6 hours.
To assemble:
- 1Spread the butter on the outside of the buns. Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat until hot, about 3 minutes.
- 2Place the buns in the pan butter-side down and toast until golden brown, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Flip and toast the second side until golden brown, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Divide the lobster salad between the buns and serve immediately.

if you watch more of parkourdude91's videos you'd realize he's just playing a character and this video is no different
I had trouble falling asleep because I could not stop doing block puzzles in my head after playing way too much Catherine.
I was playing along, staying just ahead of Drew like you, but I found myself enjoying the videos way more than the actual game so I almost decided to quit. What got me into playing it again was actually watching Drew go to Strut F instead of B, and getting the M9 early. I suck at sneaking so the M9 was a necessity for me and I enjoyed the game a lot more after that. I ended up not wanting to stop playing and beat it in two days. Now I can't wait for Drew's reactions to the story in this wonderful game.
Are there any story ties between Chaos;Head and this? I wanted to play Chaos;Head but couldn't get it working, so is it okay to skip it?
I played the PSP game last year and absolutely loved it. I really hope it does well so they'll localize the sequel.

Aeroplane Model - Fieseler V1 Flying Bomb Reg. No: ST 023607
- Summary:
- Aircraft History
Designed by the Gerhard Fieseler Werke, the FZG76 pilotless cruise missile became better known as the V1. Adolf Hitler planned to use the jet-powered V1 and the V2 rocket as 'Vergeltungswaffen' or vengenance weapons against the United Kingdom. The first V1s were launched from 55 metre inclined ramps positioned near the northern French coast and aimed at London. An 850 kilogram explosive charge was carried in the nose cone and power was delivered by an Argus AS 014 impulse duct (pulse jet) engine which used shutters and a screen of fuel nozzles to ignite the fuel and close the shutters about 40-45 times per second to direct the thrust to the rear of the jet pipe which gave out a distinctive rasping noise. Top speed was around 650 kilometers per hour which made it difficult for allied fighters to intercept it in flight. An air driven gyro was used for the flying controls and a normal range of about 240 kilometres It is believed about 10,000 V1s were fired at targets in Britain and Belgium in 1944-45 causing 24,000 casualties. In Britain the V1 was widely known as the 'doodle-bug' or 'buzz-bomb'. In 1944, a concentration camp known as 'Dora' was opened at the site of a massive tunnel complex in the Hartz Mountains where V1 and V2 weapons were made. Around 20,000 slave labourers are believed to have been killed by the Nazis in the course of the program.
Many V1s were shot down by allied aircraft and anti-aircraft guns and due to the loss of launch sites to allied ground forces, an icreasing number of V1s were air-launced from Luftwaffe bombers. An experimental piloted version was also built.One V1 was brought to Australia for the Australian War Memorial where it is now displayed.
Model History
This 1:32 scale model of a V1 was donated to the Museum by the Aeronautical Research Laboratories, Port Melbourne in 1953. - Acquisition Information:

Brielle87 France Show all reviews | Tea for Two by L'Artisan ParfumeurI am an avid tea lover, have teas from the world over, this however dois not tickle my 'taste' buds. It definitely has an aura of nice quality Lapsang Souchong, but the smoky quality is sometimes so overpowering it is disreptive to the overall impression; as if I had enjoyed a cup of tea in a burning tea house, not my favorite way to enjoy a cup of tea;). 22nd January, 2009 |
Brielle87 France Show all reviews | Voleur de Roses by L'Artisan ParfumeurInteresting rose scent. I feel it is far better as a masculine. As a feminine, it is far too medicinal, and astringent for my tastes. 22nd January, 2009 |

Brielle87 France Show all reviews | Vanilia by L'Artisan ParfumeurIt starts off, for me, as an 'imitation vanilla' right out of the spice drawer. Not a wonderful "Williams-Sonoma' type of deluxe vanilla, but rather a generic 'super market' imitation one, in my opinion. I feel that this scent longs to be a vanilla sugar cookie embodiment, but it falls short in many ways; seems someone took the cookies out of the oven too soon, hence the lack of yummy food-like character. 22nd January, 2009 |
Brielle87 France Show all reviews | Riviera Palace by L'Artisan ParfumeurThe name is misleading; this hardly make me think of a palace, nor does it remind me of the Riviera. It makes me think of some quaint, and very prim, ladies dressing-room from another time; all white flowers, with a bit of heaviness, and the requisite powdery finish. For a much nicer white flower composition, without the dressing-room allusions, No. 22 Chanel is so much of a superior scent. It makes one feel happy that RP is now only a memory. 22nd January, 2009 |
Brielle87 France Show all reviews | Coeur de Vahiné by Comptoir Sud PacifiqueI always love this scent on a hot summer day. It is a wonderful floral fruit composition, but not the generic type so guilty of inundating the market, but a well crafted one. 22nd January, 2009 |
TaraYvonne United States Show all reviews | Fleurs d'Oranger by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal ShiseidoIf only cheap air freshener smelled this divine! It would save me a ton of money, but unfortunately this is far too high quality to be compared to anything related to the word cheap. C'mon people! Yes there will be some scents that remind you of this, after all there are a million products out there that try to capture this type of scent because it appeals to the masses. But keep in mind that Fleurs d'Oranger IS a floral with a foody citrus-like edge and there are so many products out there that use this type of scent too. Any fragrance that tries to capture this will be condemned for the same reason. And men should not try this one, I hardly feel this qualifies as a "man" scent. Men please, only review this if you are smelling it on a woman, because that is the only standpoint which would allow you to be fair to this Fragrance. It's girly, of course YOU won't like wearing it! It's rich, it's dripping like so many Serge Lutens creations. I've said it once and I'll say it again, if you like your frags tame then steer clear of this entire line. That way the world won't have to read your misleading thumbs down ratings-which only come from the ones that can't take a potent scent. 22nd January, 2009 |
joxer96 United States Show all reviews | Velvet Gardenia by Tom FordI'm loving this one! No cheese or plastic here either, just a beautifully warm narcotic note with a hint of earthyness that became more prominent as the drydown progressed. Very indolic, that's for sure, but never overpowering. Seven hours into application, and it's still going strong. 22nd January, 2009 |

moltening Thailand Show all reviews | Mogul by Parfums RaffyI tried to visit A List Fragrances' website, which apparently were the ones "responsible" for this.. little abomination. Well, it appears they didn't even bother creating a website, which clearly reflects their level of effort. Seriously though, this is just a more concentrated recreation of various 80's-themed frags.

tanto United States Show all reviews | Soir de Paris / Evening in Paris (new) by BourjoisMy grandmother used this for many years (old version). The new version is pleasant but the old version brings back many fond memories of her. Why do these perfumers change a "good thing"? Even though the fragrance has been updated a bit, the name still remains the same. Of course, people know it is something from days gone bye. Then, why bother to change the original fragrance at all? 22nd January, 2009 |
bbBD United States Show all reviews | Persian Leather by Caswell-MasseyNot leather.... unless Persian Leather is a variety that doesn't smell like any other leather on earth. I found this to be watery and a light smoky fragrance at best. It's somewhat bitter and totally linear. This isn't in the same league as Knize Ten - or any other well established leather - not even close. If you're a leather fan don't even bother because it's not worth it, which is unfortunate because usually C-M puts out good stuff. 22nd January, 2009 |
bbBD United States Show all reviews | Quelques Fleurs Royale by HoubigantA lush and very full floral with rose leading the way. Sweet but not sweet, and not overtly feminine such that a guy couldn't wear it. This is reminiscent of how a full mixed bouquet of flowers smell. Add a touch of liqueur in the background for texture and you've got QFR. Very pretty, very nice. No offense intended to SirSlarty, but I don't get the L'Homme comparison at all. 22nd January, 2009 |
bbBD United States Show all reviews | Jubilation XXV by AmouageA good incense fragrance with thick layers twinged with spices and fruits. There's a nearly creamy texture to XXV. Unfortunately it's just too much and is an example of the phenomena where too many notes creates an overload that just isn't successful. I can recognize why people would like this but I don't like the aroma it creates when wearing it, and I personally wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it anywhere. 22nd January, 2009 |

sketchwars Sweden Show all reviews | Muscs Koublaï Khän by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal ShiseidoThis scent took me on a trip. I purchased a sample six months ago thinking it would be THE musk for me. I love musk and have tried soo many without finding exactly what I'm looking for. This was a dissapointment. First note I got was CUMMIN, lots of it. somehow it mellowed to a plain musk BUT with a dank smell of big dirty stripy hair. YUCK! I locked this in a jewelry box for a couple of months until five days ago when I found it again. Three months ago I quit smoking, i used to smoke half a pack a day so my nose may not have been the greatest of the bunch and my chemestry was obviously messed up! I put some of this on and went to make a cattle of tea. 15 minutes later the most amazing musk appeared. I Love this on me. it is animalic, sexy, romantic, comforting. If I smelled this on the right man he would probably not get rid of me, this is that amazing. Cant stop smelling myself :) 22nd January, 2009 |

text: Slavery decays the humanity of our world, and many people still believe that slavery is no longer a major issue; they say it is only a figment of the past, a problem that has already been abolished, but the truth is the evils of slavery still exist today. A large percentage of Mauritania's population is either considered as slaves or has a relative or friend who suffers from it, and because of this, the country in North Africa is at risk of having a civil war. Their lives are controlled by the ones who have a corrupted sense of judgment. It is imperative that we must take action to put an end to this country's wrongdoings, and set the people of Mauritania free. Many of us have the power to fight against this growing concern, but the nations of this world should choose to push their efforts to persecute the men who create this nightmare such as Colonel Taya and Dictator General Aziz, save the slaves, and create projects that would help prevent it from happening again. Many people are not aware of this problem or just don't care. Now is the time for us to become more aware of this situation and become more active when it comes to abolishing slavery. There is not much time. Human lives are dramatically affected each day, loved ones are lost, human rights are being crushed by authoritative and heartless figures whose primary concern is to profit from human trafficking and take advantage of the powerless. The freedom for this people could be reached, but only if we take charge and work together to fulfill the dreams of these people. Everyone could help make a difference by signing a petition at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/africanslavery/ . This petition is supported by http://www.africanslavery.org , a credible nonprofit organization who is dedicated to stop slavery.
