Hi All. I am feeling somewhat discouraged. Halfway through and I've only lost a few pounds, and an inch each on both hips and waist. I know it's progress, but there is that inclination to feel as though "It's not working." I've been trying to cling to the notion of the 8 week miracle, but I really thought I'd see bigger changes by now.
Perhaps someone will have some encouragement for me. I won't quit, but I do feel my confidence slipping, and that usually leads to missing workouts and getting lax with the diet.
I have not missed a work out, even on week 4 when my back went out. I continued on with less intensity, and then bumped it back up the next week, when I was feeling better. My food intake has been correct, I think. Usually under 1200 calories a day, with balanced protein and carbs, fat grams under 30. One day per week, I jump the caloric intake up to 1400-1500, just to shake things up a bit.
A little about me: I am 51, and have about 30 pounds to lose from the day I started. I know things slow down when you're older. I've not had any thyroid tests, but I suppose that could be an issue.
I do have difficulty drinking all the water. Most days, I can only manage to drink 8 rather than the recommended 10.
My biggest frustration is seeing people on other programs, such as WW or Atkins boasting 10-15 lbs lost by this time. I'm here working my butt off, and not losing much of anything.
Any helpful encouragement? Please?
Greetings flygirl, By all means don't give up the ship yet. Many more dramatic results in losses and gains of muscle sometimes will not appear until t he 8th week or later. The scale is just one of many tools for measurement in this matter, the fact that your clothes fit differently is a definate plus in this way. Drinking the water is tough, but necessary to flush the system and provide a more full feeling before and at mealtimes, it know that it is difficult but you have to try to get those additional two glasses in somehow , even if you have to put a no cal flavoring into them. Also remember that while you are losing body fat you are probably gaining some muscle which weighs much more than the fat which is something some of the other programs may not be doing for their participants. Keep MOving Forward and have faith!!!
Thank you WPBill. I don't have a natural thirst, but if you think the water is that important, I will make it happen. ANYthing, to get things moving forward.
Hang in there. I'm a 50-ish ;-) guy and just 3 weeks in and I don't see any difference. I tend not to ever weigh myself which is good and bad. I don't know if I'm making progress weight wise. But I'm not discouraged either b/c I feel better and I'm enjoying the workouts so my weight is of no consequence.
Make sure you have a bottle of water during your workout and and take a drink after every rep. That's likely 16-24 ounces right there. I keep one by my bed as well - when I'm reading at night I'll take some sips. And in the morning it's right there and I drink some immediately when I wake.
Just keep picturing how good you'l look on the beach this summer - that's what I'm doing.
To My One And Only Teammate,
The 1st thing I want to tell you is about Atkins. I have done it and had great success losing weight. In fact, I lost about 60lbs two years ago doing Atkins. However.... When I stopped doing Atkins and resumed eating normally (because I felt so bad) I gained back 70lbs. Also, from being in ketosis for so long I got kidney stones. Also.... My doctor had to put me on cholesterol medication because of all the meat and cheese and high fat foods I was eating. So... It is effective for weight loss, but is the long term cost worth it. Not for me. This time I'm doing this right and getting my Body For Life!
Look at the before and after pics of the people doing WW and Atkins. Compare those to the before and after pics you see on the BFL website. Which ones look better? I think the BFL pics are better hands down! We are doing the right things here. This is the healthy way. It is going to work for you. Just keep up the good work and you will have the transformation that you want. Even if it doesn't happen right away I'm sure if you keep up with the program it WILL happen.
Also, someone else can correct me if I'm wrong, but being under 1200 calories seems a little too low. That could be the problem. Your body may think it's starving and be unwilling to give up the fat.
You are showing progress. Don't give up!
Thanks Threadstone. The beach is one of my biggest motivators!! We live in a beautiful little town that sits on Lake Michigan. Gorgeous beaches here, and one of my very favorite places to be. I'll try harder with the water, and see if it helps.
Justin, thanks for the boost. My BIL did Atkins a couple times and it really grossed me out watching him mow down plates of bacon. Even after losing the weight, and he lost it quickly, he still looked pasty. He's since gained it all back and more. I never had much interest in that program.
I've done WW, and it does work, but I have yet to see someone who doesn't gain it all back. Many people gain more than before. Just feeling a little jealous of progress.
The reason I wanted to do BFL is because it is only 12 weeks, and I can do anything for only 12 weeks, but if something doesn't happen soon, I'll be extending that 12 weeks. Also, I wanted to get ripped!!! That doesn't happen on WW.
Fortunately, I love lifting weights. I just have to believe the results will come..................
I don't know about the 1200 calories??? Anyone else want to comment on that? (I'm freaking out as it is, can't imagine eating more food.)
I don't really count calories, but my meals are around 250-300, and so I would estimate daily intake about 1800 calories. 1200 does seem low to me.
Please don't lose hope, the results will come. I just finished week six, and I have been feeling discouraged about lack of weight loss too. But....I remind myself I felt the same way during my last challenge, and that turned out pretty well :) In fact, I only lost 10 lbs of scale weight last time, my body just completely changed shape, like slowly being shrink wrapped (went from size 12 to size 8). Keep in mind, the 30 lbs you want to lose WILL NOT translate to 30lbs on the scale with BFL.
The last third of the challenge is where most of the physical and mental changes take place, and it is so worth the wait!

Stay true to the schedule! It's common when somone gets discouraged to miss a workout here or there and cheat a little on the eating. Don't do it. Stay consistent and keep pushing hard, good things will happen. The 1200 calories is pretty low depending on your height. You don't want your metabolism slowing down because you're not eating enough. Forget the calories and concentrate on 6 meals with good foods and correct portion sizes. You can do this!
If my calories are too low, what will happen if I increase ? Won't I gain weight?
BTW thanks very much to Melissa and Dave. I pay attention to every tidbit and I will keep trying.
Maybe I need to try to work out harder. I thought I was doing enough, but maybe I could bump it up a little.
No problem! Do you feel like you are really hitting your "10s" in your workouts? I think that is the most important. When I lift, I definitely hit muscle failure, and with cardio, I describe 10 as "running from zombies" intensity lol. I think you are on the right track, just stay the course. And also, you have to ingest 3500 calories more than you use to gain 1 lb, so bumping up your intake by a few hundred calories of clean food would be unlikely to make you gain, in my opinion.
Yeah my first thought was that 1200 calories just isn't nearly enough. I know it is scary to take in more, I have been there. But until you take in the fuel your body needs, you will feel like you're on a crash diet and not get the full body for life experience. Eventually your hunger will take over and avoiding a calorie overload will be almost impossible to resist. Try upping the food intake gradually over a week, it will soften the bloated hangover feeling from eating more all of a sudden.
Honestly I did gain weight when I ate the normal healthy amount after restricting calories. But it is coming off really fast because my body is fueled enough to max out every workout. I feel so much happier and have more energy. I tried to workout while eating less and I just couldn't push as hard as I felt I should be capable of, I just lost the physical stamina too quickly. The 10 I felt then was like "omg I have no more energy left to go on". The 10 I feel today is surged with energy while I am hitting a limit that I truly thought was impossible.
You can do this, just don't be afraid if you gain a little weight from eating more. I promise it will be very short lived and by the end you will lose more than you would by going on with less calories. I don't count the calories, I just eat exactly like the sample meal plans in the book. I crave more water by eating this way too. I thought it would be hard o drink that much h20 but I really feel like I need that much. Its a good indicator that I am following it the way it was meant, too.
Okay, I sure appreciate the support. I took the weekend off. I didn't intend to, but my husband and I were attending business conferences over the weekend. I carefully planned to take my free day on Saturday, and then Sunday, do cardio in the hotel gym. However, with the time change, we overslept and there wasn't time. So I took a second free day even tho I should have just stuck to the food program. BUT I think it was a blessing in disguise!
By Sunday night I felt awful and was craving the light food and exercise on my program. During the busyness of the conferences, I got dehydrated too. The entire weekend left me anxious to get back to my routine! One more thing, I could actually see a difference in my hips this weekend. I don't know if it was different clothes or why it wasn't evident to me before, but I could really notice it this weekend. It gave me some confidence that I haven't had for awhile.
So I have a renewed spirit, and I kept your words in my mind all weekend. My upper body workout felt so good today, and I worked it harder than I thought I could. Melissa's words"muscle failure" kept resounding in my head, and after the workout my arms were pretty shaky. But I felt sure that I had reached a 10.
I'm doing this! And after only a weekend without it, I know I can make this my routine for life!
Thanks so much for the support!!
Oh and also, I will be drinking ALL the water too. I'm increasing my calories a little each day, altho that makes me nervous! But I'm trying it to see what happens.
Don't get discouraged. And your calories are not low. It is a myth that the body will start holding on to fat if you are eating low calories. This only happens when you are extremily lean like under 6% for guys and 12% for women. The body will still continue to lose fat, but you are in real danger of losing lean body mass. If you have 30lbs to lose then you are in no way going to run in to this problem. In fact, it has been shown in recent research that you could stop eating for many days and you will not lose any lbm or have any detrimental effects. If you are not losing weight, then you are eating too much there is no way around that. Often times we eat more than we think we are. I would say weigh everything and enter it in to a food database for a while, until you can get a firm grasp on how many calories you are eating. According to Bill Philips a portion is roughly 100-150 calories. So if you have a portion of carbs and a portion of protein then you are eating 200-300 calories a meal which is 1200-1800 calories for the day. A woman with small hands would be closer to the 1200 calorie mark.
Some people will argue that you need to eat more. This can work, only because you may find yourself with more energy and therefore more active which burns more calories. However, if you are eating low calories and are not feeling lethargic and are able to get through your workouts, then stay at the low calories or eat a little lower. Your have to tap in to your fat stores in order to lose weight. If you are not losing weight, then you are eating at maintanance and you have to go a little lower. Just listen to your body.
Drink lots of water and that will help with hunger if that becomes an issue.

Thought Of The Day – 5/27/13
May 27th, 2013 08:20 AM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
Tags: Hey Jude, Memorial Day, SEC, Wilson Pickett
Good Monday morning. Hope all of you out there have a happy, safe Memorial Day. We'll be bringing you some headlines shortly and then we'll kick off our own partial day off.
The rest of this week we'll be talking about the SEC meetings in Destin, league payouts, permanent rivalries and nine-game schedules. Also, we'll go ahead and bet that we'll be able to quote Mike Slive as saying, "The First Amendment is alive and well in the SEC," at least once.
But before we get to all that, here's your thought/lyric of the day. You know it from the classic Beatles song "Hey Jude," but the MrSEC iPod kicked out a soulful, wild, horn-filled version by Wilson Pickett this morning. If you haven't heard it, check it out. It's not easy to cover the Beatles. But Pickett nailed this one by changing it enough to make it his own.
"The minute you let her under your skin then you begin to make it better."

Oregon becoming a hub for international development 2.0
By Dexter Gauntlett
You can meet other international development professionals at Green Empowerment's monthly Development Drinks get together.
Oregon Rep. Earl Blumenauer's leadership in promoting the Water for The World Act is a major opportunity for the growing hub of organizations and companies in Oregon that are moving the needle in improving international development effectiveness.
The international development industry refers to non-profits, government agencies, coalitions, and companies that seek to eradicate poverty in developing countries, and create pathways for long-term sustainable and equitable development. This specifically means access to potable water, sanitation and hygiene facilities, education, clean air, food and economic opportunities.
The traditional model of international development can be summed up as "aid" or "charity" and has been dragged through the mud so many times now — sometimes with good reason — that it carries negative connotations.
International Development 2.0 has been underway for the better part of the past decade and seems to have finally reached a tipping point. Several trends contribute to this including the ubiquity of information technology, innovation in remote instrumentation, cost reductions of clean technologies and the growth of social entrepreneurialism as a development philosophy.
Big-name donors such as Gates Foundation have also put their money where their mouth is and adopted a scientific approach to improvements in global health. Other innovators, including dot-com high rollers, corporate philanthropists and the major development institutions have placed increased scrutiny on aid projects, better aligned their shared goals, and require a more sophisticated implementing agency than ever before.

Congress can be bipartisan when it wants to, and it wants to avoid the political embarrassment of a pre-election government shutdown caused by lack of agreement in funding for the coming year.
On Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid and President Barack Obama quietly and without fanfare agreed to a deal that would keep the government running at its current spending level — $1.047 trillion a year — for six months after the fiscal year ends Sept. 30.
The bill, known as a continuing resolution, will be voted on in September when the lawmakers return from their five-week August recess. The bill is certain to pass because if the funding isn't in place for the start of the federal fiscal year on Oct. 1, the government — all but defense and emergency services — will begin shutting down.
The party seen as responsible — in this case, the House Republicans — takes the blame and generally suffers accordingly at the polls.
To get the agreement, Boehner had to override the Tea Party faction in the House that wanted to use the threatened shutdown to force $19 billion in cuts beyond those agreed to in the Budget Control Act last August and to extract $8 billion from other domestic spending to soften coming Pentagon budget cuts. The Tea Party caucus also had hoped to use the prospect of a shutdown to force Congress to begin defunding Obamacare.
The six-month extension means the spending issues don't have to be resolved in what promises to be a hectic lame-duck session. If the votes on the dozen funding bills that run the government are pushed into the new year, they could — depending on how the fall elections turn out — become the problems of President Mitt Romney and a Senate newly controlled by the Republicans. A shutdown would have considerably lessened the prospects of that coming to pass.
Even without today's hyper-partisanship, Congress annually fails to get its work done on time. Continuing resolutions, some of them renewed many times, have become a fact of legislative life.
The Boehner-Reid six-month budget extension was the responsible compromise solution to a problem in which all the alternatives were worse and, had they resulted in an extended shutdown, ruinous.

It's official. With the shutdown of Hostess, not only will you have trouble finding Twinkies or Ding Dongs. More than 18,000 workers across the country – including hundreds in Philadelphia – will be out of jobs.
Twinkies, Ho Hos, and Wonder Bread are just some of the products that have only a short time left on the shelves.
Demand for these products wasn't the reason for the closing of the plants. The company says it was the employees who baked them.
FOX 29's Stephanie Salvatore was live outside the Northeast Philadelphia plant with more in this video report Friday night.
Folks in Northeast are stocking up on their favorite Hostess products while they still can.
"I knew it was right up the street from the job, and I wanted to make sure I capitalized," one man said.
Another said, "My wife is in there now getting some because we didn't know whether it was still open. But we heard it was closing."
But while stores like this one are selling out fast, it's the nearly 19,000 folks baking the famous brands across the nation who are hurting.
"They make it seem like it's the union people that's shutting this down," said Wayne Walker.
He's one of nearly 400 workers now unemployed. But he does not regret his decision to stand for what he believed in.
"You see all these people willing to be out of work rather than to stay in there and stand for that," Walker said. "You know, we all got bills, we all got families, we all got mortgages, but we would rather be out on the street than to be in there and get taken advantage of."
Union employees tell us they were told about a cut in pay, changes to their medical benefits, and a freeze in pension funds. Workers went on strike to show solidarity against the proposal, and the brand – unable to produce and deliver products – decided to close all 34 of their plants.
But the local union refuses to be blamed for the outcome.
"This company has done a great job of making the workers the guilty party," said Local 6 Union President Barry Fields. "There's people more concerned about not having a Twinkie than what about people's jobs."
But behind the picket lines and the demise of these popular snack cakes are the real victims, families now struggling with a drastic cut in income.
"You have to do what's in the best interest of your family," said Elisa Walker, whose husband is now out of a job. "Because eventually you have to stand for something or fall for anything."
The best-case scenario would be for another bakery to come in and buy the plant.
In the meantime, the local union is in the process of finding state programs to help these employees find new jobs and also help with the gap in pay, Salvatore reported.

Mythology for Teens: Classic Myths for Today's Worldby Zachary Hamby
Mythology for Teens: Classic Myths in Today's World takes classical mythology to a new level by relating ancient stories to the culture, history, art, and literature of today. By looking at topics instrumental to both mythology and modern culture, teens are encouraged to question topics such as the repercussions of war, vanity and greed, the workings of fate, the nature of love, the roles of women in society, revenge and forgiveness, the meaning of life, and national identity. The majority of high school humanities and Advanced Placement courses teach classical mythology by simply retelling myths. By using teen-friendly reader?s theater scripts to tell the legends, in combination with activities, discussion questions, and exercises that help students apply what they've learned to real life, Mythology for Teens takes the classic myths taught in school and turns them into an engaging, interesting, and fresh way of looking at old material.

In 2010, CHKD added a staff of 15 certified athletic trainers (ATC) to its sports medicine department.
The ATCs work primarily in the Chesapeake Public Schools, providing medical coverage for sporting events and practices year-round for all of the middle schools and six of the seven high schools.
There are also two ATCs assigned to provide medical coverage for sporting events that take place at the Virginia Beach Sportsplex and Field Hockey Center, so you can rest assured that your child will be taken care of while participating in a camp or athletic event at those facilities.
A certified athletic trainer is an allied health professional who has earned a four-year bachelor's degree from a college or university that offers an accredited athletic training program and has passed the Board of Certification national certification exam.
In addition, many athletic trainers complete a master's degree in either athletic training or a related discipline such as exercise science, exercise physiology, secondary education or health and wellness. In order to use the ATC credential professionally in the state of Virginia, an individual must be licensed by the Virginia Board of Medicine, just like doctors, pharmacists, and physical therapists must be licensed.
The ATCs employed by CHKD work in the interscholastic athletics setting. Their focus is primarily on athletes playing middle school and high school sports. Each day, the ATCs provide the following services:
The ATCs also maintain the ability to provide emergency management of severe injuries that occur during practices and games. In addition, they play a key role in a student-athlete's concussion management team by monitoring athletes on a daily basis and acting as the liaison between physicians, teachers, and coaches during the recovery process. You can read more about CHKD's concussion management program and the Chesapeake Public School's concussion policy.
The athletic trainers at CHKD support the Hampton Roads community by providing medical coverage for athletic events that are held in the area, in addition to working in the schools. If you or your child has participated in the CHKD RunWalk for the Kids, Girls on the Run 5k, Challenger Baseball World Festival, SkatePark Event, or the Chesapeake Sheriff's football camp, then you have probably met a CHKD athletic trainer.
Improving health literacy in the community is important to CHKD. ATCs take part in this effort by teaching American Heart Association HeartSaver CPR/AED classes to students and coaches within the Chesapeake Public Schools system as well as other groups in the community. The ATCs have also been featured on WVEC's 13 News at Noon to discuss current issues in sports medicine and give educational talks on general sports injury prevention, care and nutrition to kids' sport camps and athletic clubs as requested. If you are interested in having a CHKD athletic trainer speak at your camp or club meeting, please contact Mitchell Callis, MSEd, ATC at 757-373-7427.

Just in, here are some brand new spy shots of the BMW Lightweight E90 M3 said to be called M3 EVO. Back in April, BMW teased us with a first surprise appearance of this car in Garching. Thanks to Klier and rususlikwho caught this car at the Nürburgring, we can now share another glimpse at this car.
Unlike the earlier spotting, this test car looks exactly like what has been presented in Garching. Dedicated front spoiler lip and rear spoiler supposedly made from some lightweight material, 6-piston lightweight brakes (more info), and a unique color what we suppose is a non-metallic Interlagos Blue.
The M3 EVO is said to sit between a regular E9x M3 and the extreme M3 GTS, meaning the M3 EVO will retain to seat … CONTINUED
We've reported before about the M Festival taking place at the Nürburgring from June 23rd through June 26th 2011. It's a four day event comprising of many highlights like the M Night on Thursday evening, an M parade on the Ring on Friday and of course the Nürburgring 24h race on Saturday and Sunday.
What caught our attention in a recent interview about the M Festival is an announcement that they "will be taking the opportunity to exclusively present two brand-new M automobiles for the very first time" at the M Night. We already know, as previously announced, that one of the M cars will be the lightweight M3 sedan which is supposed to be called M3 EVO. The only other M car we could speculate as … CONTINUED
We had a chance to sit down and interview the gracious Matt Russell, M Brand and Alpina Manager for the US, at the 2011 New York International Auto Show. Like us, Matt is a BMW enthusiast through and through. He races BMWs and describes himself as the biggest manual transmission purist he knows. We posed to Matt some commonly asked questions among our forums and members, and are able to share with you the following insights.
If Auto Motor Und Sport is to believed, the lightweight E90 M3 will also receive the "GTS" moniker, like the E92 M3 GTS coupe. AMS claims the power output will be 440hp, 10 less than the 450hp GTS coupe. This would be consistent with BMW's acknowledgement that the GTS sedan would have more power than the standard M3, but less than the GTS coupe. AMS also says that the M3 GTS sedan will utilize the 7-speed DCT transmission and feature a lightened interior with lightweight components in the center console and door panels, recaro seats, M3 steering wheel, and 6-point safety belts – similar to the GTS coupe interior.
The GTS sedan also features 19″ wheels wrapped in 255/35 front tires and 285/30 rear tires with … CONTINUED
The exciting lightweight M3 sedan concept which we were given a preview at the special M event in Garching, Munich (photos and info here) last week has now been spotted in testing for the first time!
The lightweight M3 will slot in between the standard M3 and the M3 GTS in terms of weight and power. Some of the weight reduction may come in the form of CFRP hood and seats. If you look carefully at the photos, it appears that the driver seat in the test prototype is a lightweight version, which could very well be the carbon fiber seats mentioned in the directly preceding link. This is unlikely to be the BMW Performance seat as that only comes in alcantara material.
Not much more info has … CONTINUED
Once a year BMW holds a "Technology Day", a showcase of new technology and developments BMW has recently introduced, is about to introduce, or is looking into to make cars better. This year's press release on the matter has quite some interesting bits about BMW's technology, and one of the hottest things they mention is the progress they made in processing CFRP, short for carbon fiber reinforced plastic. The developments made for the BMW i models will be used across the BMW group sooner or later.
To demonstrate some possibilites, BMW shows a prototype of an E9x M3 bonnet in CFRP. According to BMW, "The lid consists of two carbon layers enclosing either a Nomex plastic or a recycled-paper honeycomb.". It doesn't stop there as a new … CONTINUED
Ok more LIVE coverage from the BMW M event in Germany! Moving on from the M3 Pick-up, BMW has now shown off a new M3 concept car based on the E90 M3 Sedan. This particular concept is destined for the recently announced Nurburgring M Festival later in the year.
The main idea behind this concept is lightweight. The sedan is stripped out, but BMW has not given us any details yet on what the car's weight is or other specifics. They did say that the concept is intended to slot in between the standard M3 and the focused M3 GTS.

Photos taken with a dirty sensor, really takes away some of the magic.
These Flipbooks are awesome. Have to ask ING what is with the Globe/Surfing advertorials every time they do an Ad shoot or Ad trip? Someone needs to tell them that we have seen the flapping dress shirt while you surf too many times already. Dion has worn that look for how many years and ING keeps running the photos. The beard?!….I didn't know the Taliban look was in fashion these days. How does that work going thru customs? Can you say cavity search.
Nice Flip Book just should of had your lensmen clean their sensors or maybe Jimmicane could of used photoshop on those dust spots all over the images….

College Readiness in Kentucky
The adult student learner population on any campus consists of a variety of students. The population may include military veterans, married couples, single parents, any older adult over age 25, commuters, students who have "stopped out", etc. The students often face different obstacles to obtaining their higher education goals than those of a traditional student. There are also students that come straight out of high school into college but may face other obstacles related to lower socio-economic status. Statistics show these students often receive less guidance and help at home to ensure they are college ready upon graduation from high school.
The following programs and services are available through Western Kentucky University to assist non-traditional students in overcoming obstacles to accomplishing their higher education goals. These programs are part of Western Kentucky University's mission to prepare all students to be productive, engaged, and socially responsible citizen leaders of a global society. Each provides research, service and lifelong learning opportunities for it's constituents as part of our stewardship in support of a higher quality of life for those within it's reach.
Programs available through WKU to non-traditional students:

Hostile Work Environment Brings Life to Roleplaying Games
Aug 01, 2012 (05:08 PM EDT)
SEATTLE, Aug. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- There is a new company launching today which is solely dedicated to roleplaying games and the core of what makes them so enduring, the craft of storytelling. Peter D. Adkison, former CEO of Wizards of the Coast, Inc., and owner of Gen Con, LLC, America's biggest tabletop games convention, is pleased to announce the formation of his new multi-media company, Hostile Work Environment™. Through a variety of media formats, Hostile Work Environment will bring life to roleplaying games, not by publishing them, but by filming, narrating, and illustrating them online, engaging and interacting with audiences worldwide.
"I couldn't be more excited about Hostile Work Environment! Roleplaying games are my passion and through my new company, I'm creating ways for people to experience RPGs that will resonate with long-time players and new audiences alike," said Peter D. Adkison, founder and CEO of Hostile Work Environment.
The first production for Hostile Work Environment will be a web series dedicated to a Dungeons & Dragons campaign titled The First Paladin, which is set in Adkison's fantasy world of Chaldea.
"The launch of The First Paladin web series is just the first step in what I expect will be many opportunities to explore ways to both interact with gamers dynamically in shaping stories, and to create entertainment across a variety of platforms including producing short and feature films for this specific genre market," adds Peter.
Hostile Work Environment brings together a highly experienced team of industry professionals, which gives it the clear vision necessary to make it a leading contender in the industry. CEO Peter D. Adkison founded Wizards of the Coast, Inc., and grew it to a multimillion-dollar company before selling it to Hasbro in 1999. Under his leadership, Wizards of the Coast created an entirely new genre of games with the release of the world's first trading card game, Magic: The Gathering®, and salvaged the Dungeons & Dragons® franchise through a business turnaround and publication of the wildly-successful 3rd Edition.
Joining Adkison at Hostile Work Environment is Kim Voynar, who will serve as producer on HWE's The First Paladin web series and website. Based in Seattle, Voynar previously produced "White Knights," directed by Joe Shapiro, and produced, wrote and directed "Bunker" via her Catawampus! Production company. Since 2004, she has been a leading voice in the world of film journalism, as managing editor and film critic at AOL's Cinematical, and features editor and film critic for Movie City News.

Ray Chambers & Bob Sicular Set for San Jose Rep's BILL W. AND DR. BOB; Full Cast Announced
A talented cast energizes the critically acclaimed play, Bill W. and Dr. Bob, by Samuel Shem and Janet Surrey, to close the highly successful 2011-2012 season for San Jose Rep. Directed by Richard Seer, the work is a quick-witted and honest docu-drama following two dynamic and dedicated men who, in the midst of their battle with acute and debilitating alcoholism, formed a formidable and historic alliance to help each other and others combat the same addiction.
In 1929, successful New York stockbroker Bill Wilson, played by Ray Chambers, crashes with the stock market and turns to drinking. Dr. Bob Smith, played by Bob Sicular, is a surgeon from Ohio who has also been an alcoholic for thirty years, often going into the operating room with a hangover.
Through an astonishing series of events, Bill W. and Dr. Bob meet and form a relationship, each helping to keep the other sober. This is the amazing and often humorous story of the two men who pioneered Alcoholics Anonymous, as well as the story of their wives, who founded Al Anon. These four people were the starting point for all the 12-step-oriented recovery programs that are now implemented all over the world, for issues ranging from alcohol to food to sex to gambling to shopping. The story of how they discovered how to help each other live without the thing they are addicted to is intriguing, moving, and inspiring.
The production runs from June 21 to July 15, 2012 with Press Opening Night on Wednesday, June 27 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are available at the San Jose Rep Box Office at 101 Paseo de San Antonio or can be purchased online at www.SJRep.com or by calling 408.367.7255. Approximate Performance Run Time: 2 hours with one 20-minute intermission.
While this work does not imply affiliation with or endorsement from Alcoholics Anonymous World Service, Inc., it tells an incredible story of hope and healing through real human connection. The journey that Bill W. and Dr. Bob took together has become a beacon of hope in the dark for so many people around the world.
Ray Chambers (BILL W.) is appearing on the San Jose Rep stage for the first time. He was last seen in the Alan Ayckbourn play The Life of Riley at The Old Globe where previous productions include Macbeth, Hamlet, Love's Labour's Lost, Coriolanus, The School for Scandal, Antony and Cleopatra, and The Comedy of Errors. As an associate artist for the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, some of Mr. Chambers' leading credits are The Count of Monte Cristo, Coriolanus, Henry V, The Winter's Tale, Hamlet, A Doll's House, Tartuffe, The Importance of Being Earnest, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Ghosts, and Saint Joan. Mr. Chambers has been seen in theaters across the country such as Syracuse Stage, Studio Arena Theater, Arizona Theatre Company, and Two River Theater Company in New Jersey. He is currently Head of Acting with The Old Globe/University of San Diego Graduate Theatre.
Robert Sicular (DR. BOB) is delighted to return to San Jose Rep where he has previously appeared in The Weir, The 1940's Radio Hour, and On the Verge. Mr. Sicular's regional credits include performances with Denver Center Theatre Company, South Coast Repertory, Seattle Repertory Theatre, Actors Theatre of Louisville, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Shakespeare in Santa Fe, and The Shakespeare Theatre in Washington, DC. In the Bay Area, he has appeared at American Conservatory Theater, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, the California and San Francisco Shakespeare Festivals, Marin Theatre Company, PlayGround, Traveling Jewish Theatre, and The Christmas Revels. Film and television credits include General Hospital, The Young and the Restless, Never Die Twice, Dil Pardesi Ho Gaya, and Love & Taxes. Mr. Sicular is a native of Berkeley and a graduate of the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

Thumbs up Clock.
thank. I hope to use the barbarian in some story in the future (a story I finish).
Soon, new images (spoil: its gonna be a archer).
I like it, although I think the angle of the axe and hammer should be much more defined.
it's good for the 3rd and 4th pose but not for the 1st and 2nd picture, even if it's faced side ways, there should always be a little bit trace of it's shape, well for the hammer atleast.
yeah I know.
The thing that happened with the weapons is that I design them and after I scan it I chose to change them (because I didn't like the design) and making the changes digitally is what blew everything with the weapons -.-
I'm still trying to making a good axe and mace design, it's pretty hard, because I don't want to make a WOW weapon, but neither simple realism as a normal axe and a warhammer.
Finally done. I'm still working on the bow design and the collar.
I really like her whole design. The detail is done well, and you're really good with the perspective. Only thing I can think of, and I might be wrong--could just be the angle. In the full body pic where she's stepping forward, she looks a little off balanced, like she's tipping slightly to the right. But, maybe it's just me. She looks fine otherwise.

You are right. It's actually a good point, hard to notice, because a body walking is already unbalanced, but I went to far.

SO I SEEZ TAT U UZE MOAR TAN 1 LAYER n00b!
^ Elitist thread hangover. Joking aside, the thing that pulls me into your art is the solid, crisp line work. The simple, bold coloring complements it well. My only critique isn't even about the art itself: in the first picture (the comic), the text in/above the second panel is pretty hard to read due to the spooky-type font.
I still lol'd at it. And your logo owns.
Damn layers!
In Skeptical I'm going to try to be more clear in the text (yeah, it's pretty noisy and I think giving more space between letters might help the text and not force me to change it completely) and I will improve that and the photoshop (some day). In any other thing I might gonna use some Font, to prevent the noise in the texts. Thanks by the point.
Yeah the logo is pretty cool, I pretty much love it a lot.
In the next upload (I don't know if I might upload this or not) a comic (I'm done with the script and the story board). It might take a while (draw, scan, clean, paint), but I have hopes in this story.

The bathroom has a bath with an overhead shower attachment and a glazed shower panel. There is lift access to all levels, including the underground garage and the communal solarium. The apartment faces out from the complex, (not poolside) so it avoids noise disturbance coming up from the pool. There is on street parking in front of the apartment or we can reserve you a space in the underground car park. We provide towels for use in the apartment and can provide older towels for outdoor use (towels for outdoor use must be requested in advance of your stay).Because this apartment is on a corner, the bedroom, lounge and kitchen all face out from the building. This means our apartment doesn't suffer from having any rooms whose windows look into a dark and dingy mosquito infested central well.____________________________________________________________________________________Residencial Las Brisas has ......... a 25 metre pool with sunbathing terraces, poolside showers, toilets and changing facilities. The pool is maintained for year round use, has a segregated section for children and a lifeguard in high season..... a telephone entry system and lift access to all levels, including the pool and a small communal rooftop solarium.____________________________________________________________________________________ Las Brisas is located ......... 10 minutes stroll to the beach and .... .... 5 minutes stroll to supermarkets restaurants cafes with wi-fi access bars banks indoor bowling alley, gym and bar go kart track Puerto's open-air Sunday market The nearest free wi-fi access is about 300 metres away, at the Hotel La Cumbre's bar.To see the location, click on the orange coloured tab labelled 'Location', towards the top of this page.____________________________________________________________________________________ Puerto de Mazarron ..... The Costa Calida is one of Spain´s best places to holiday, having a gentle warm winter and long hot summer days. A holiday in Puerto de Mazarron suits couples and families looking for a traditional Spanish seaside holiday with a choice of busy beaches or deserted coves, away from package holiday crowds and with plenty to do both day and night. Puerto has great diving, snorkelling, sailing, windsurfing and fishing. The beaches and small bays slope gently into crystal clear waters. Beach-side villages and miles of countryside surround the 32 km bay of Mazarron. The coastal areas of Mazarron and Puerto de Mazarron boast some of the finest beaches in Spain and the untouched nature of the coastline and countryside appeals to those who seek a tranquil environment for their holidays. Puerto de Mazarron is a popular resort for Spanish families and in the peak season (July and August) the population swells to capacity. At other times of the year it can be very quiet which makes Puerto ideal for that quiet "get away from it all" style holiday. The area is ideal for walking holidays, with a variety of marked walks to suit all abilities. Puerto has an attractive new marina, a variety of restaurants, tapas bars, evening entertainment bars, cultural activities including an open air summer cinema, indoor and outdoor sports facilities including ten pin bowling, sports hall, kart track, an uncovered Roman salt factory museum and a Phonecian boat information centre. Puerto is one of the most important tourist centres for marine and sub-aquatic activities in Spain. The frequency of prevailing winds throughout the year in the Bay of Mazarron means sailing instruction and practice can be undertaken at any time of the year. The clear waters and rich flora and fauna offer the enthusiast some highly interesting dives. The council regularly provides free beach concerts and has theme beaches with facilities for different ages with a variety of free sports and relaxation facilities - even designated nudist beaches. In summer, Puerto de Mazarron has a couple of night clubs and two open-air out of town summer clubs which start very late and continue until sunrise.____________________________________________________________________________________Out & About .....Camposol golf course is about 10 minutes by car, with La Manga only 40 minutes away.

It is easy to get to by train or road and has a historical centre with a cathedral, casino, churches and lots of interesting architecture, cafes, taps bars and some quality restaurants. Whilst in the area, a visit to the beautiful Sierra Espuña National Park, to the north of Mazarron, through Totana or Alhama is a must. The drive and views are spectacular. On the journey and in the park there are local Spanish bars and restaurants serving good quality, reasonably priced food, or you can take your own food to cook on the outdoor barbecues in the designated picnic areas. The park has a visitor centre and signposted walks with amazing views.
