Report: Best-paying jobs with no college degree
- Subway operators top the list%2C but employees work weekends and holidays
- Pilots don%27t need a college degree but certifications%2C on-the-job training is mandatory
Close to a third of the adult U.S. population has a college degree. While it no longer necessarily guarantees a job, as it once did, graduating from college is a prerequisite for the vast majority of high-paying jobs.
Of the job categories that earned a median of at least $60,000 in 2012, just a handful did not require at least some college education. The top-paying job categories all required a bachelor's degree, and in many cases, a master's or doctoral degree.
But for those who cannot go to college, there are still hundreds of thousands of high-paying jobs that only require a high school diploma. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed 2012 occupational profiles from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to identify the jobs that pay the most money and generally do not require any more formal education than a high school diploma.
Very few of these positions, however, are instantly accessible to a person fresh out of high school. Some of these positions do not require a bachelor's degree, but do involve a great deal of additional on-the-job training or certification. Most require years of work at lower positions before workers can move up the ranks.
Many of these jobs are compensated well because of the dangerous or unfavorable conditions associated with them. Subway operators, paid a median of nearly $63,000 a year, spend long hours underground. Elevator repairers and nuclear power plant operators work in potentially life-threatening positions and are paid more, accordingly.
In order to identify the high-paying jobs you can get with a high-school degree, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed wage and employment data from the BLS Occupational Employment Statistics database and job descriptions from the agency's Occupational Outlook Handbook. The jobs that made the list had a median annual salary of at least $60,000 and did not require formal education beyond a high school diploma, according to the BLS.
Here are the best-paying jobs you can get with no more than a high school diploma:
1. Subway and street car operators
-- Median annual income: $62,730
-- Total number of people employed: 8,750
In 2012, subway and streetcar operators were paid an annual median wage of $62,730. The pay for this occupation is good, likely due to the flexibility of schedules required, since public transit is often open on weekends, holidays and most (if not all) hours. Additionally, operators take on the responsibility of keeping a large group of people safe. There is little room for raises, however, with the top 10% of workers making more than $73,590 in 2012, not substantially higher than the median annual wage for the job category. Subways travel on their own right-of-way, usually underground, and many are driven by a computer. Subway operators must be capable of driving the train manually, but usually only control the vehicle's speed and when it starts and stops. The movements of trains are largely organized by visual and auditory signals, so operators must have extremely good observation skills. Unlike subway operators, streetcar drivers must obey traffic laws, collect fares and regularly interact with passengers.
2. Fashion designers
-- Median annual income: $62,860
-- Total number of people employed: 16,560
The gaps in income between fashion designers can be quite large: The top 10% of designers last year made more than $126,290, while the bottom 10% made less than $34,110. It is becoming more common for fashion designers to pursue formal education as the work increasingly involves use of computer-aided design technology. Education in a related field, such as merchandising, is also valuable, although a college degree is not necessary. Creativity, however, is the most important quality for this occupation. The most successful fashion designers often will have their own businesses or retail stores. A beginning designer usually undergoes an apprenticeship or is employed as an assistant.
3. Power distributors and dispatchers
-- Median annual income: $71,690
-- Total number of people employed: 11,590
Power distributors and dispatchers are responsible for monitoring the movement of electricity from generating stations through to its eventual lines of distribution. In the event of needed repairs or emergencies, the distributor or dispatcher must reroute the transmission of electricity and organize maintenance. These jobs require workers to be attentive and careful, especially as they potentially can shock or burn themselves. Like the nuclear power operator, this occupation requires extensive on-the-job training and licensing, in addition to a high-school diploma. In 2012, the annual median wage was $71,690.

Texas Rangers Fantasy Report
This has to be considered a season of progress for the Rangers, and if not for a horrible swoon in late-April, this club could be right in the thick of the AL Wild Card race. After a modest 5-4 start, the team went into a 2-12 tailspin, dropping to a season worst 7-16 as of April 24 – essentially burying themselves early. However, Texas rebounded and went a very impressive 51-38 between then and August 5 to move to a season-best 60-54. Competing in the AL West with the blazing Angels would have taken much more than that, but unfortunately, the Rangers' Wild Card chances have slipped away since thanks to a 2-9 skid.
Offense sure hasn't been an issue. Texas leads the AL in runs (695), slugging (.456) and OPS. But, as usual, the pitching staff has let this team down. The Rangers are dead last in the Junior Circuit in ERA, BAA (.290), OPS against (829), WHIP (1.60) and quality starts (40).
Dustin Nippert has received a modicum of fantasy attention in AL-only leagues as he got a start Sunday, but it appears that this was just a spot start and even if more rotation time was a possibility, he did his best to ensure he won't get another chance. To call Nippert horribly inconsistent almost seems like praise. After looking so impressive last week with four shutout innings against the Red Sox, he got tattooed by the Rays Sunday, suffering the loss. Nippert looked to be finding his groove in middle relief last season, but his awful command has rendered him lost this year.
Brandon Boggs has picked up the pace a bit lately, and has driven in runs in the last two games, but without more at bats, he's not worth owning at this time unless you're in an extremely deep AL-only league. Because of the fragile nature of several of the Ranger outfielders, Boggs could be looking at more PT at any time and given that he's a switch hitter, he is not affected by platoons. However, he really hasn't hit lefties or righties particularly well, although he's at least shown decent pop against southpaws.
New daddy Josh Hamilton returned to the lineup Friday, and hit in all three weekend games, driving in another two runs Sunday. Talk about respect – the Rays opted to intentionally walk Hamilton with two outs and the bases loaded in the ninth inning. He could have tied the game with a long ball, but instead plated one run with the free pass, leaving Marlon Byrd to end the game with a whiff. Hamilton hasn't quite maintained his pre-All-Star break pace, but he's not far off and seems to have picked things up a bit so far this month, at least in terms of getting on base. At any rate, he's definitely not suffering from any Home Run Derby letdown, a la Bobby Abreu a couple of years ago.
There's good news from down on the farm, where Brandon McCarthy, who has missed the entire season with a forearm injury, looks just about ready to rejoin the Ranger rotation. He put up seven goose eggs for Triple-A Oklahoma Sunday for his second straight superb start. Last season, McCarthy's first in Texas and first as a full-time starter, didn't exactly go swimmingly, but it's way too early to write him off. True, his excellent recent work has been against weaker teams in the PCL, so the Rangers may opt to see how he fares against a better hitting team (he'll get the Iowa Cubs next) before bringing him up. There remains a chance he will take the hill for the Rangers on Saturday if they do promote him. Those seeking some late-season pitching help would be wise to monitor the McCarthy situation.
Ian Kinsler had to come out early Sunday with a groin injury. He'll be evaluated today, so let's keep our fingers crossed here, because this is the type of injury that tends to linger. It's awful timing, as Kinsler had been putting his early-August slump in the rear view mirror in recent games, hitting in eight straight and nine of his last ten games. This dude is on pace for 215 freaking hits this season. To put that in perspective, he totaled 248 hits in his first two campaigns.
If Kinsler is going to miss time, who the hell is going to play second for Texas? German Duran would be the likeliest candidate, but he tore a ligament in his thumb last month and won't be back until late-September if at all. Ramon Vazquez has only played five games at second this year, and right now – until Hank Blalock gets back, anyways – he's needed at third base. So should Kinsler be sidelined for some time, Joaquin Arias might get his chance. Arias lost almost all of 2007 because of injuries, but he's made up for it this year, batting .296 with good speed at Oklahoma. He's batting .316 since the break, but isn't running as much as he did. Still, if Arias gets the call, he could provide you with a decent BA and some cheap steals.
Speaking of Blalock, he's getting ready to come off the DL, but will not be returning to the hot corner. Instead, he's going to man first base and the team will shift Chris Davis from first to third, with Vazquez going to the bench. Blalock's shoulder woes and inability to consistently make the throw from third to first will present Davis with a chance to impress the team brass enough so that he'll be in the mix for the starting third baseman job in 2009. At the very least, Davis will have an opportunity to entrench himself as the key corner infield backup. In the meantime, if Davis can wow the team, Texas could look to deal Blalock this offseason. And of course, giving Blalock PT between now and the end of the season will be necessary to showcase him, so those of you that feel like taking a chance on him can rest assured that until he gets hurt again, he'll be in the lineup every day.

Glass elver eel. (Photo: New Zealand Goverment)
Japanese elvers' feeding no longer a mystery
Monday, November 26, 2012, 01:30 (GMT + 9)
Japanese researchers may have opened the door to large-scale, commercial eel farming: they discovered that after hatching, Japanese elvers probably feed on dead zooplankton and phytoplankton.
The study's findings on these larvae, called leptocephali, near the Mariana Trench were published in a recent issue of Biology Letters, a journal of Britain's Royal Society.
"Further research on the development of better feed and an effective farming system is needed," Katsumi Tsukamoto, a professor at the University of Tokyo, said. "If the production of young Japanese eels becomes commercially viable, we can protect wild eels."
The latest discovery by researchers at the University of Tokyo's Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology and the national eel farming research organisation Irago Institute, used a method developed in 2009 by Naohiko Okochi, a programme director at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, to approximate the trophic levels of organisms in food chains, Jiji Press reports.
Okochi's method calculated the nitrogen isotopic composition of two amino acids in the larvae of eels both wild and cultivated at the Irago Institute to determine what they ate.
The researchers also figured out that the ideal temperature for dead microscopic animals and plants is about 25 °C, at about 100-150m in depth, forming "marine snow" as they sink toward the seabed. This zone makes for a good feeding ground for young eels.
This latest finding could help make eel farming a reality in Japan. In 2010, Japan's Fisheries Research Agency set up the world's first completely artificial eel farm, where it raised adult eels using eggs from adult eels raised at the institution -- but the feed, including shark eggs and krill extract, did not bode well for successfully raising adult eels.
Another challenge faced by the budding industry is the need to have water circulate constantly in the tank, as otherwise the elvers float to the surface and die. The water must also be changed regularly to avoid the spread of bacteria from the feed.

As 30 Rock begins its seventh and final season Thursday on NBC (8/7c), Alec Baldwin (Jack Donaghy) says the cast is in a reflective mood. "Everybody's got very mixed feelings," says the actor, who recently filmed Woody Allen's latest untitled feature in New York. "I think mostly people are very sad, because it's been a great experience and we'll never be able to duplicate this again. I'll also never have as good a job as this — ever."
Tina Fey Gets Ready for the End of 30 Rock
The two-time Emmy-winner says the cast and crew have had plenty of time to prepare. "We've known from the beginning that it was going to end sooner than later. After Seasons 5 and 6 they would advise us — [people said], 'We're going to get the word any day now that it's run its course.' Now they told us this year would be it."
Currently serving as Honorary Chairman of the 20th annual Hamptons International Film Festival (held Oct. 4-8), Baldwin says he's curious about what's out there for the cast in an industry that's "changed so much in the past six years." Yet he's most intrigued about the future of his onscreen employee and off-screen boss, Tina Fey. "The most compelling thing I think about is what's going to happen to Tina, because she'll be able to do whatever she wants to do," he says. (Fey recently signed a deal with Universal Television to develop projects over the next four years and possibly star in one of them.)
"She's such a fertile writer that there are so many things she can do," Baldwin adds. "People say she's going to be like [the late] Nora Ephron or Nancy Meyers, but she may end up being like Woody, where she writes, produces, directs and acts in films as well. I know there are a lot of great things ahead for Tina, especially."

While divorced women seem to be more independent than widows when making financial decisions, widows are almost two times more likely to describe themselves as financially conservative, the Spectrem Group reported this week.
But both groups are more likely than men to work with a financial advisor, according to the Chicagoland-based wealth researcher's report, "Women in Transition."
Only 16% of divorced women in Spectrem's study describe themselves as advisor-dependent, compared with 20% of widows.
Meanwhile, widows are nearly two times more likely than divorcees to call themselves financially conservative, with about 31% of widows describing themselves as conservative investors versus just 17% of divorcees.
"At the other extreme, 6% of widows and 14% of divorcees describe themselves as aggressive investors," Spectrem reported. "In comparison, 22% of men say they are aggressive."
As for working with a financial advisor, Spectrem said that more than 20% of widows participating in the study described themselves as "advisor-dependent," compared with 16% of divorced women.
"What's more, 44% of divorcees say they like investing, compared to 39% of widows," Spectrem reported. "Both groups strongly prefer to work with a full-service broker, but a widow is more likely than a divorcee to work with an independent financial planner."
For advisors seeking more information about working with widows, the Alliance of Cambridge Advisors (ACA), a Highland, Mich., nonprofit group of fee-only financial planners, has published Moving Forward on Your Own: A Financial Guidebook for Widows, by Kathleen Rehl, Ph.D., CFP.
The guidebook, which won a 2012 International Book Awards prize in the Women's Issues category and was named a finalist in the Business: Personal Finance category, integrates basic financial information with self-reflective exercises to encourage self-confidence about money issues. The format it is intended to serve as a catalyst to help women make progress after a spouse's death.

MenOver30 Video: Counter Intuitive
This week we have a friendly face to our sites by the name of Tony D. Tony made his debut with us about a year ago when he got to tap Trent Diesel's hot ass. That's definitely one hell of a welcome and we're glad to have him back and all to ourselves. Tony D is now 33 and it turns out he's originally from Ecuador. Tony's been hitting the gym and his body is coming along nicely. He's admits his first experience with porn was finding his older cousin's Hustler. He's come a long way since then. When it comes to his sexual identity, Tony D considers himself tri-sexual. He's willing to try anything once. Hmmm. His most memorable sexual encounter was a threesome he had with 2 Brazilian girls that made him feel like the King. We asked him what his ideal sexual partner would be. Black hair, silky smooth skin with full lips. He loves a nice ass, the tits don't have to be big but he really gets turned on by hourglass figures which really get him going. We're assuming those are the girls he's into. lolTony is looking at some porn on his handheld as his cock starts to come to life. He sits back and starts to tug on it through his jeans. It isn't long before he needs to give his cock more room. He stands and starts to play with his pecs and abs before zeroing in on that cock that's straining for more room. He flexes for the camera for a few before dropping his drawers to show off his hard cock. His dick is aching by the time he gets to it and Tony quickly starts to jack it off. He smacks his dick as it bounces like a trampoline. He teases it until his knob starts to ooze precum. Tony licks his lips as he gets into stroking himself off. Tony's a bit of an exhibitionist so he has no problem showing off all his goodies. He sits up on the counter top, spreads his legs and continues giving that cock the attention it deserves. His smooth balls bounce just below his cock as he pounds away at it with his lubed fist. He lies back on the counter, making himself comfortable, as his cock throbs at full mast. Tony D is NOW served. Eat up boys cuz there's plenty to go around. Tony then goes face down and ass up as he shows off that ass of his. He pushes his hard cock back to give us the full effect. By now his cock can't take much more without getting some release. He flips around and jacks that cock off until he blows. He moans as he lets out blast after massive blast of thick cum spraying all over the oriental carpet below.

Hill and swale: How green can this valley stay?
ADDRESS: 6311 Blackwell's Hollow Road
SIZE: 1548 fin. sq. ft.
NEIGHBORHOOD: Brown's Cove
CURB APPEAL: 5 out of a possible 10
LISTED BY: Tim McKeon of Real Estate III-West 979-0174
White Hall's sleepy little country aura draws many admirers. A little further on, the sexily named Sugar Hollow also beckons with promises of sweet seclusion. Houses rise with numbing regularity, but as yet no developer has managed to get a foothold in the wide and hilly expanses.
Driving along Route 810 past all this drops one immediately into a landscape of breathtaking beauty. The few houses that can be seen are not the $10 million whims of a couple deciding after only a few years that they don't like Charlottesville, but modest, manageable homes. The Doyle's River meanders alongside the ever-narrowing and wavy road. A few cars whiz past, causing another kind of breath-taking that would probably become second nature if you lived here.
Six miles through hill and dale end at the four-wheel drive access to this house. The ride was short and sweet, a good thing since it was as bouncy as an inflatable kiddy moon bounces.
Built into a hill, the house/barn/stable has been sitting empty for a while, and it shows. But the bones are unusual. The "front" looks like a barn, with three large stalls at ground level. All three have concrete floors; in the middle one, wall-to-wall shelving and some other mystery containers give evidence that this room was used as a pantry and cold storage. A ladder and what looks like a fireman's pole provide access to a trap-door in the floor in the living quarters above.
Around back, paradoxically at the entrance (on the second level), the house has seen much better days. A barely screened-in porch must be navigated to get to the door. But the deterioration is the result of disuse, not abuse. The interior layout is just that, all laid out with no walls. Not one squeak or dip in the handiwork mars the solid pine floors and staircase. Fully functional casement windows add a modern touch. Upstairs, two spaces sectioned off only by the stairs render privacy an impossibility.
The kitchen, actually just a bar in the middle of the downstairs room, has no appeal except that behind it, double barn doors could swing open onto the aforementioned screened porch to enable alfresco dining like that pictured in upscale shelter magazines. (Of course, this takes a bit of imagination considering the current general dilapidation of the place.)
The two full bathrooms, with everything necessary except space, will need a little elbow grease to become useable by folks with modern sanitary standards.
The real value of this property is the land. An official land survey has never been done, so the acreage could vary from 45 to the 63 acres being claimed by the sellers. In the old days, boundaries were described by metes and bounds such as, "Beginning at the mouth of a branch at an ash stump thence up the creek south 20 poles to a small walnut in Arnett's line, thence north 50 east 80 poles to a linn hickory dogwood in said line."
Wise potential purchasers will buy a survey to find out exactly what they're getting. Since the advertised 10 division rights are undoubtedly part of the justification for the asking price, professionals need to be consulted. As we trekked along fire roads and makeshift fences, the land stretched on into unspoiled wilderness, making it even more sensible to find out exactly what's what out here.
An array of animal hutches and outbuildings dots the hillsides, providing a clue to the preoccupations of the original owners. Homesteading and homegrown food (including rabbits) may have been what they were after.
Unfortunately, almost all that's left is now run-down and neglected. At this point in our tour, a rather large and ornery burro appeared over one ridge, his loud brays resembling something between a foghorn and an oncoming train. Fortunately, the neighbors have been feeding and, one assumes, caring for– it.
When the property sells, the jackass conveys.

I've been trying to find payed work for about half a year and have had little success and I think it might have to do with my current skill level I have been trying to do as much work as possible which includes photo studies and personal pieces, but lately with the studies I'm doing I don't feel like I'm learning anything from them. I've just been copying photos without understanding and I don't know what I need to focus on. I'm having trouble figuring out what exercises/studies I should be doing to improve my work so I thought I'd ask you guys what has worked for you in understanding how to create environments. Are you able to clearly say what you have learned from each study or is it more of a subconscious thing and the lessons are learned after many studies? Anyway, I would really appreciate any advice on improving and starting out as a professional artist. You can see my work on my site at www.artofhowie.com Thank you very much! Back to top TomasismemberMember #Joined: 19 Apr 2002Posts: 813Location: Sweden Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2011 4:33 am My first thoughts are lack of details and flat light that needed to be addressed but when I checked your blog, your last three ones look quite good. Smooth, fluid surfaces. Add some details and voila! If you make the whole portfolio that look like that, you can go far. I know that doing environment poses another bigger challenge and it requires patience. I like your first two pieces from environment section, if you work more on those, it will be good start for more competitive portfolio. Think about what companies expect to see from works so they can add that in games, movies or so. I think you should continue to work as you do, there are no secrets except hard work. It takes time. You should put more time on single piece like 1 week or more to learn how to be more efficient under so many hours and raise the limit bar all time. I really like your vision, motives in your works. Some of your works look as fine-art. But for concept art, it maybe needs more attention on industrialism, "cold rendering" mixed with thrilling light. I see that you're good at composition already Good luck with it!_________________out Back to top SumalethAdministratorMember #Joined: 30 Oct 1999Posts: 2898Location: Australia Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2011 6:04 am There's some very nice work on your site, but here are some thoughts: If that website is your work-seeking portfolio, it should only contain your very best work. I'd remove the "studies" section for example -- nothing there will get you work, and all of them could lose a project for you. That's not to say they're not worth doing (more of this below), just that they lower the average impression of someone looking at your website with a job in mind. You need to cultivate an eye for seeing when an image brings that average down. This is a completely different skill to composition, or rendering ability, or theme, and so on. And it's equal in importance to anything else. The self portrait, for example, doesn't look "quite right". The eyes and nose are in the wrong place, perspective isn't consistent, etc. Sometimes you'll only see the problems after you've been away from an image for a bit -- fresh eyes see things that accustomed eyes don't. It's worth going back to old images, identifying problems, and working it some more. Then take another break, come back and work it some more. Really learn to see problems, and learn how to fix them. You need to practice these skills, to grow them. Materials is an area you have a lot of room to grow in. Perhaps it's a stylistic choice, and if that's the case you're heading more towards a fine-arts career than an illustrative or design one, but in most of your images everything is rendered in the same "material". That means the same value range, the same reflective qualities, the same use of brush strokes. If you look at a Mullins image you see fantastic contrasts. He really knows how to make wood look like wood, and a cobbled road look like a cobbled road. And efficiently too -- he's not drawing each grain or stone, he has simply studied and practices enough that he can imply a surface with a minimum of fuss. Perspective is an area you need to work on. Doing it by eye is fine if you can do it by eye, but until that time you should be doing the old horizon-line-plus-vanishing-points one two step, or pre-vising it in something like SketchUp. The quality of your work will leap with that simple change. Look at the concept art from any project you can find concept art for (assuming concept art is an area you're interested in), and study their form. So where the camera is located, are they distant shots of something or close examinations, perspective or front/side-on. Once you see what is being used in your intended field, you can push your work that way. Last thing for now: values. All the best artists know the way light applies to objects and scenes, and, like perspective, nailing values is one of those things that can make the quality of your work take a sudden leap. Think of those old white-cube-on-white-ground projects that Mullins and Lemens ran here all those years ago. Texture and color can confuse the issue, which is why learning that stuff with white-on-white was so informative. Anyway, there's some thoughts._________________Art Links Archive -- Artists and Tutorials Back to top HowiememberMember #Joined: 31 Oct 2006Posts: 229 Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2011 11:58 am I can't thank you guys enough, I really appreciate the help. I should have more clearly stated that I want to work as a concept artist specializing in environments but I think you guys figured that out after looking at my work. I definitely agree that materials are a weak point in my work, I'll have to focus on some more life studies with contrasting materials to really nail down the differences. I think your totally right about the studies section on my site Sumaleth and I think today I'm going to go through everything and take out that section along with some of my weaker work. I feel like I can do a photo study pretty successfully but a lot of that success is lost when I go to work from imagination, I'm kind of clueless as to where to put my light sources and how to properly lay out my perspective. Anyway thank you again Sumaleth and Tomasis, means a lot! Back to top Simon GustafssonmemberMember #Joined: 04 Jun 2000Posts: 249Location: London, UK Posted: Sat Nov 19, 2011 5:49 pm I agree with what Sumaleth and Tomasis are saying, theres great potential in your work but there are some more things that I think you should consider. Firstly, draw and paint from life. There is nothing wrong with copying photos and if you do alot of it Im sure it will expand your 'visual library' eventually. There is a risk however, that when you copy photos you fall in to this mindless shape copying habit and it doesent feel like you learn much. Ive tried it, and at first its exciting that you get a nice and shiny result but after a while it gets boring. If you paint something from life its very difficult to do it mindlessly. You have to pay attention otherwise standing out there freezing in the forest, or wherever it is youre painting, feels pretty pointless. If you want to get in to environment design you need to sharpen up your perspective skills. Dont worry about brush economy or fancy texturing tricks in photoshop. Looking at your stuff its pretty clear you have a good understanding of the software and digital painting techniques so try to focus more on drawing. When I get stuck I sometimes try to make a lesson for myself, create some limitations so I can focus on something that dosnt seem impossible to grasp. It can be something really simple like going out to study how trees come out of the ground. Trying to capture their weight and the feeling that they have grown out of the ground rather than just beeing an object resting on top of a surface. Also, one suggestion I have for you is to go outside with the intention of studying scale. Draw a scene where you have subjects at varying distances. It can be houses, trees, rocks, lamp-posts or whatever, but make sure you measure their relative size before you put them down on the paper. Practising this will definitely help you with perspective and give you a better sense of depth when you create imaginary scenes. Secondly, if you want to use photographs, i strongly recommend learning about photography as a photographer would. I got really into photography a couple of years ago, learned lots about the kit and how different lenses work, learned what kind of pictures you get from using different lenses, what a limited value range cameras have etc etc. (You dont have to buy expencive gear to understand how it all works) Its really fun and it has helped me loads when Im trying to create scenes from imagination. Plus my holiday pictures looks much better now! =D Anyways I hope some of my ranting makes sense. Keep practising and keep drawing from life!_________________www.karlsimon.com http://karlsimon.blogspot.com/ Back to top HowiememberMember #Joined: 31 Oct 2006Posts: 229 Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2011 12:33 am Thank you Simon that really helped a lot. I definitely feel like I got into the shape copying groove with the photo studies and you're right it's boring and I don't feel like I'm making a lot of progress with them. I recently have been setting up still lifes next to my monitor to paint from but you can't really learn how to paint atmospheric perspective and scale when your looking at something that close. I really need to go outside and paint environments from life to get a better understanding of different lighting scenarios. Thanks again for the help, really appreciate it!

Back to top ReturnermemberMember #Joined: 01 Oct 2000Posts: 350Location: Sweden, Stockholm Posted: Thu Nov 08, 2012 2:13 pm Hi. I've just started painting and can't give you any critique on that but I suggest you do life drawings like Simon says. Buy paint and get out and paint and also paint from a model. I'd suggest going to some art school which focus on realistic art. They'll supply a model and a teacher but YOU still have to do the hard work. If you paint for say 2-3 hours a day and sketch for an hour or two you'll get results quickly it's all about what you put into it. I'm taking art classes once a week and be starting at a school next semester. And also maybe fine art is something for u? Nice site btw u clearly have some talent, good luck!

LPL Financial (LPLA) said Tuesday that about 340 of its employees supported projects across the country in May as part of its Serve Days initiative. The 23 projects focused on teaching financial literacy to students, helping women prepare for new careers, landscaping homes in low-income neighborhoods and providing nutritious meals to veterans.
Earlier this month, Baird announced that about 1,300 of its advisors and other associates gave time for volunteer projects in mid-May. And, as part of the firm's 50th anniversary, Raymond James (RJF) says that it will expand its Raymond James Cares program.
"It was great to see LPL Financial volunteers giving back and working together to make an impact in our community," said President & COO Robert Moore, who volunteered in San Diego, in a press release. "The camaraderie and spirit shared at the event was a reminder of how good it feels to come together to make a difference in the lives of others."
LPL also says that it began its Lift People Locally employee-volunteer program during April's National Volunteer Month in its home-office cities—San Diego, Boston, Cleveland and Charlotte, N.C. In addition, the firm recently launched an Employee Volunteer Center web portal so that employees can sign up for volunteer projects online.
Along with some other firms in the broker-dealer field, LPL Financial has a Volunteer Time Off program, which provides paid time off for employees who volunteer for charitable organizations in their local communities.
The company's 2,700 employees can participate in the LPL Financial Charitable Foundation, while the 12,900 advisors affiliated with LPL Financial can join the efforts of Invest in Others, a separate charitable group that encourages advisors to give back to their local communities.
Baird Gives Back
Milwaukee-based Baird, which is privately owned and has about 2,700 advisors and staff members, says that its advisors and their family members donated 3,700 hours in mid-May to help some 100 nonprofit organizations during Baird Gives Back Week. Launched three years ago, this effort now includes advisors and others in nearly 50 Baird offices, both in the United States and overseas.
In May, associates helped with projects such as preparing and serving food, tutoring and mentoring students, working with seniors, building homes, cleaning up parks, performing indoor/outdoor maintenance, and assisting with event coordination. Associates received two paid days off to perform volunteer service through the Baird Cares program.
"When our communities do well, we do well, both as a business and as individuals seeking balance in our work and personal lives," said Baird Chairman, President & CEO Paul E. Purcell, in a statement.
"It is very inspiring that so many of our associates across the firm chose to participate in Baird Gives Back Week, an annual event that celebrates our firm's longstanding tradition of giving back to the communities in which we live and work, as well as our associates who are passionate about making a difference," Purcell explained.
Raymond James' Plans
Gearing up for its golden anniversary, Raymond James is encouraging advisors and staff members to participate in community-service activities during the month of August. It is making T-shirts, hats, water bottles and other materials available for these efforts.
A pilot version of Raymond James Cares was created in May 2011 through the leadership of Raymond James & Associates Private Client Group President Tash Elwyn, then-head of the Atlantic division of RJ&A. Close to 300 advisors and volunteers from more than 15 offices contributed 1,000 hours to their respective communities.

The podium is the following
Jan De Smit
Nicolas Farcy
Loic timmermans
John Thomas
Jerome Deboeck
Jurgen Lis
Michael Timmermans
Raphael Fernandez
The podium I had predicted was : 1st Nico Farcy ; 2nd Loic Timmermans ; 3rd Me.
Well I got my objective right as I wanted to be on the podium, and knew third place was the most likely reachable for me.
Lest know analyse what happened. There were four blocs, 2of them were in overhangs walls, including one with a dyno(although some didn't climb it that way) and the two others were on almost vertical walls, with mantles.
I did the first problem onsight without any problem, as well as Nico Farcy and Jan de Smit. Loic sent too but second try.
The second one was looking rather hard, it involved a big wooden feature with a left heel hook on a rather sloppy pinch. I knew this one was going to be the one to send but only Nico Farcy sent it.
I made a big mistake thinking I could skip the bonus hold to directly dyno the next hold which was a jug. I felt a bit unconfident with my left heel-hook, and tried to jump but couldn't take the swing.
I think I made there a big mistake thinking I still had the strength to do such a move.
I would probably have been possible a year before but not this time and I over estimated myself.
|Second problem.
Third bloc was a dyno that I sent pretty fast, as well as many other including Nico. At that point, Nico is the only one with 3blocs sent. Then follows Loic with two blocs and one Zone ex-aequo with Jan and then me with two tops. The last bloc would decide who would win, a perfect situation for the suspense...It looked pretty hard on the observation but I though no one could send it except Nico.
Surprisingly, Jurgen sent it as I heard the roar of the crowd. At that point I think that many would then send, especially when Jan also sends it.
At that point, I don't know it but Jan is first, Nico must absolutely send it to win, and I know that if he don't, I'll have to go for the title. When I understand he didn't do it, I know it's coming down on me, like last year, I can win if I top the last problem. I tried hard but found it really hard, not really understanding how the others climbed it but I know they somehow boycotted it but I can't figure how and thus climb it.
It's only after that Jan told me he went straight, skipping the whole problem by topping it out to the right, A mistake for the setting team but a mistake everyone could have taken advantage of, which only two people had the guts to. Jan announced he would go that way, I didn't understand what he meant when he told me, by winning his first big title, he proved guts was part of the experience and the key assets the rest of us missed that night. I'm glad I could finish 3rd anyway after almost a year of non-climbing due to an injury (with go worse after the comp though) but I am also disappointed as I made two big mistakes, each one of them if not made could have granted me the title.
I'm happy for Jan as he climbed really well, proving you can still win ahead of youngsters at 36. I'm disappointed for Nico who was clearly the strongest during the competition but missed the title for the second year whereas being very close to it.
Anyway, it's not that bad, I still feel capable of winning although my lack of training, my injury and sleep troubles so it's all positive. Although, I think I injured myself in the second bloc, trying to hold the swing with my right arm(the injured one) and now it hurts kinda badly...
I'm off for two weeks off now. I hope it'll get better as I'm really getting tired of climbing at 50%.
If not, I will slowly quit the sport to focus on something else, maybe something more intellectual.

Update June 16 - 09:47 UTC : One injured woman died in hospital on June 14th.
Update June 3 - 09:42 UTC : One more fatality in Taiwan. 3 people have been killed by rockfall and a 4th was buried by a landslide. New NFA reports are also saying that 19 people sustained serious injuries (number of seriously injured people is in conflict with other reports).
The backpack and the fishing gear of the missing person has been found in the meantime.
- A lot of school buildings have sustained damage
- no precise indications of other material damage so far
Update June 3 - 07:48 UTC : We are sad to report that the Taiwan earthquake death toll has increased again. It has caused 3 fatalities, one missing and three people seriously injured, 17 had minor injuries.
Update 15:12 UTC : A second person was confirmed killed by the authorities. One person is still missing. Number of injured rises to 21, 3 of them seriously injured. Most of this persons were wounded by the rockfalls and landslides which were triggered by the quake. The cause of both fatalities was also rockfall. 3 persons suffered minor injuries by broken glass.
Update 10:58 UTC : Number of injuries rises to 19. 3 of them are seriously injured.
Update 10:12 UTC : 1 killed, 2 seriously injured and 16 slightly injured persons are reported now.
Update 08:48 UTC : And yet another video recorded in Nantou (not so close to the epicenter we think), but nevertheless showing the shaking.
Update 08:43 UTC : The well informed Chinanews reports that at least 17 people have been slightly injured, 1 seriously injured and 1 killed during this earthquake.
Update 08:39 UTC : Another private video showing the damage at a house in Nantou county. Most of the houses in Taiwan have been build according to strict seismic building rules and we see in almost every important earthquake that the damage is after all limited. The house/building structure has a lot of resistance. The damage part is at the end of the video.
Update 08:20 UTC : Some of the stranded tourists are being injured
Update 08:08 UTC : We are searching for more details but most of the reports are to vague to be printed here
Update 07:59 UTC : 3 aftershocks so far respectively M3.1, M3.6 and M3.8
Update 07:58 UTC : Luckily no more fatalities at this point (lets hope it remains like this). At least 7 climbers injured by rockfall. A woman was hit by a landslide while driving with her car, she was severely injured.
Update 07:54 UTC : We talk a lot about reported rockfall. Hard to imagine what it looks like? Check the image below from one of the scenes
Update 07:44 UTC : Taiwan's "Defense Ministry" has requested to complete the first five combat zone troops preparedness, disaster relief initiative to help the public. We have various reports of collapsed walls in houses.
Update 07:42 UTC : more than 1000 tourists are trapped on a mountain platform, because the cable railway was destroyed by landslide
Update 07:40 UTC : Taiwanese police reports that many people have been slightly injured by debris from ceilings.
Sunday afternoon in Taiwan means that many people enjoyed the mountain scene, which is in part the reason that so many people are trapped in these areas.
Update 07:30 UTC : Euronews reports that at least 1 person has been killed in Taiwan due to the earthquake. The killed person was a mountain climber who was killed by rockfall.
Update 07:24 UTC : these are the landslides which happened in many places in Taiwan. Hopefully you are not on the path of the slide
Update 07:24 UTC : USGS revised shaking map (now increased to VII MMI = very strong shaking)
Update 07:20 UTC : More than 1000 tourists are trapped in Nantou county due to many landslides. Power is off in some areas. Cable car service is suspended.
Update 07:17 UTC : We get reports of many injuries in the Central Part of Taiwan due to rockfall. Rescue teams are being send to these locations.
Update 07:13 UTC : CWB (Central Weather Bureau Taiwan Intensity values) :
CWB 6 : Caoling, Yunlin County
CWB 5 : Sun Moon Lake, Nantou County, Puli, Nantou County, Ershui, Changhua County, Alishan, Chiayi County, Gukeng, Yunlin County, Changhua City, Changhua County, Dadu, Taichung City, Chiayi City, Sihu, Yunlin County, Mingjian, Nantou County and Tainan City
CWB 4 : Yuchi, Nantou County, Wufeng, Taichung City, Hehuanshan, Nantou County, Yuanlin, Changhua County, Deji, Taichung City, Xilin, Hualien County, Dongshi, Taichung City, Douliu City, Yunlin County, Shoufeng, Hualien County, Guangfu, Hualien County, Yanliao, Hualien County, Waipu, Taichung City, Hualien City, Hualien County, Sanyi, Miaoli County, Caoshan, Chiayi County, Dacheng, Changhua County, Changbin, Taitung County, Liujiao, Chiayi County, Nanxi, Tainan City, Heping, Hualien County, Taichung City, Yongkang, Tainan City, Nantou City, Nantou County
Update 07:06 UTC : people were injured by falling rocks in Alishan Township
Update 07:02 UTC : USGS has changed his earthquake data seriously and now reports a Mw Magnitude of 6.2 at a depth of 20 km, the best data so far today. Focal mechanism is still reverse and shows a subduction type of earthquake (1 plate subducts the continental plate)
Update 07:00 UTC : For your information only : The Chinese Seismological Agency reports a Magnitude of 6.7 at a depth of 9 km. China is rather close to Taiwan and sees the island as part of China. Shaking in Taiwan in often also felt in the coastal provinces of China.
Update 06:55 UTC : Central Taiwan High Speed Rail service has been suspended. 2 big gas explosions are reported from an area near the epicenter but we are not certain that these explosions can be linked to earthquake itself.
Update 06:51 UTC : The Taiwanese Prime Minister told reporters that this earthquake "was the largest this year in Taiwan"
Update 06:47 UTC : We are getting more reports of (so far slight) damage in Nantou county
Update 06:45 UTC : We have reports of a big landslide in Nantou Chuan
Update 06:43UTC : We have currently some server problems and are trying to repair them.
Update 06:11 UTC : Focal mechanism of this earthquake (preliminary FM from CPPGeophysics). reverse faulting (earthquake occurred mainly because 2 sides of a fault pushing towards each other).
Update 06:11 UTC : Local seismological agency CWB is reporting a Magnitude of 6.3 at a depth of 10 km. We fear however the shaking values from CWB as these are a lot higher than USGS.
Caoling county would have a 6 CWB shaking. CWB has another scale and this means very strong shaking, probably damaging.
Update 06:11 UTC : We expect also landslides to occur in this very mountainous area and even more after recent rainfall.
Update 06:06 UTC : USGS has also changed the depth to 14 km, still very shallow. The Maximum shaking now reported by USGS is V or moderate shaking. This means that according to USGS no important damage or injuries can be expected. They are maintaining however there Magnitude at Mw 6.5
Update 06:03 UTC : USGS has changed the location of his epicenter which looks a lot better now than before but we call it still dangerous for damage and injuries. USGS gives also a higher Magnitude than the other agencies : M6.5
25km (16mi) SE of Buli, Taiwan
39km (24mi) E of Lugu, Taiwan
49km (30mi) ESE of Nantou, Taiwan
49km (30mi) ESE of Zhongxing New Village, Taiwan
734km (456mi) ENE of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Update 06:02 UTC : The earthquake occurred in the central mountains area but was very shallow and close to a number of villages at the western side of the mountains.
Very shallow dangerous earthquake close to Buli, Taiwan
4km (2mi) NE of Buli, Taiwan
32km (20mi) E of Zhongxing New Village, Taiwan

An overhead view of Standoff. Symmetry not in motion.
Once, nearby telescopes listened for a message from the stars. Now these silos contain our prepared response. Standoff, a serene valley boasting symmetrical bases on both sides is an ideal map for nearly all player counts. Despite not actually being large in size, like say, Valhalla, Standoff's rock configurations and broad width allow plenty of space and plenty of cover for temporary residents.
Three of Standoff's (open-at-default) entryways are visible here. Not pictured: The back door.
Each of the bases boasts three entrances from the outset, but the flip of a switch will open some windows and a lower exit, a fourth entrance/exit to protect. In Objective games, where Standoff really shines, commandeering and triggering that fourth entrance can be critical.
There's a significant armament within and atop each base. By default there are no Sniper Rifles on Standoff, so the stationary (and of course, removable turrets) become determining factors in defending your base, while simultaneously, keeping enemy actions around their base under control. The ensured remedy to the respective Turret problem waits in the center of the map – the Spartan Laser.
The differences between the bases are subtle. Notice the red UNSC insignia on the exterior. Decorations on each base's interiors offer other clues as to whether or not you are inside Red or Blue base.
The Spartan Laser is also ideal for dealing with the Warthog parked in front of each base. If the Spartan Laser is dry and grenade spamming doesn't work – each base has a Rocket Launcher, but instead of the usual four rockets, Standoff's Rocket Launchers only have two. There's a pair of Needlers bookending the valley cradling the Spartan Laser. Just in front of each base's main entrance/exit is a Shotgun, ideal for defending the precious interior.
Quick Tips:
Suggested Gametype:
Sniper/Swords: Team Slayer with starting weapons being Sniper Rifle and Sword. The mixture of long play and close up melee attack yields surprisingly few sword "clangs" and makes for a tense yet frenetic Slayer variant that works well with almost any team size.
Straight down the tunnel at the center of the above image is the Rocket Launcher -- and alleway players are funneled into for carnage.
After the orbital elevator fell, supply warehouses sending munitions to space were soon abandoned. Foundry an, empty-able shipping warehouse, is a collection of Halo staples: boxes, crates and ramps. Designed with customization in mind via the Forge, the Foundry's default layout is symmetrical, but the "bases" are actually on the same side of the map. There's a large structural divide between the two bases, funneling players into the map's open and volatile center.
The Sniper Rifle sure is positioned at the corner of two long hallways. That's a hint from design, folks.
A Shotgun spawns in the center of the map in the Carnage Alley that players must navigate in order to get to the other team's base in Objective gametypes. Just above the Shotgun and a bit further back sits the Rocket Launcher. Each team has a Sniper Rifle at the opposite end of their base, from each base, getting to the Sniper Rifle requires crossing Carnage Alley.
The Power Drainer sits atop a crate directly above and across from the Shotgun, with a perfectly timed crouch jump (where players click to crouch while they are in mid-air) from the lip of the Power Drainer spawn players can leap over the horror below and grab the Rocket Launcher.
Grifball. Empty map with "goals" at either end – basically Bomb Plant spots from Assault. Two teams of four play single Bomb Assault and try to run the Bomb into the endzone. Everyone has swords and hammers. The Bomb carrier runs at 150% speed and damage is increased for hammers. Teams spawn PLAY BALL! (We'll have much more on this gametype and chat with its creator, Burnie Burns from Red vs. Blue soon)
Rat's Nest
Side by side comparison shots of Rat's Nest's two bases. Not-so-subtle coloring distinguishes the two bookends to the battlezone.
Snowmelt from Kilimanjaro feeds reservoirs every bit as vital as the fuel and ammunition stores. Rat's Nest is a map meeting the spatial criteria for a Big Team Battle Map, with all of the tight corridors and interesting interiors for smaller matches.
Perspective is somewhat distorting this corner around the racetrack.
A "racetrack" circles the map, running from base to base for surgical or hilariously disaster-filled attempts at quick Flag captures or Territory claiming. If taking a vehicle around the "loop" doesn't fit your play style there are a number of connected rooms running through the center of the map to get from one base to the other.
Those rooms, of course, have openings that lead to the "racetrack" but also connect to hallways that run all the way behind the respective bases and deposit players behind the respective flag placements. Each base has two Warthogs and two Mongooses as default vehicles and a lone Ghost sits near Territory four. Territory four is in the middle of one of the "racetrack" straightaway segments and also holds a Sniper Rifle. Territory Three is straight across the "racetrack" along the broken portion of the base looking at the Pelican.
The hallway between Territory three and four, a massive collection of treats at your disposal.
There's a Gravity Hammer and Invisibility along the pathway between these two territories at the heart of Rat's Nest. The connecting center rooms include a variety of weapons, including a bunch of Battle Rifles, some Maulers, Needlers, Shotguns and Brute Shots.
Quick Tips:
Save One Bullet. One of the built-in Infection modes. You have a limited ammo supply and cannot pick up weapons. Works great with at least eight players and better with 16.

So, yeah, This week's Double EXP Weekend is running a little behind. I blame Ninja 0n Fire. (He tells me that some fairly large updates are being deployed and as a result, we'll likely not see the Double EXP Weekend go live until tomorrow, or, *gulp* "later").
When it is ready to go, we'll let you know.

ESTRACK - ESA tracking station network profile
- Video Online only
- Title ESTRACK - ESA tracking station network profile
- Released: 14/12/2012
- Length 00:14:03
- Language English
- Footage Type Documentary
- Copyright ESA
- Description
Linking spacecraft with people at the frontiers of human knowledge: ESA's Estrack ground station network communicates each day over hundreds of millions of kilometres with deep-space missions, or with Earth observation missions just a few hundred kilometres up. The network returns precious scientific data to scientists on Earth and transmits commands from satellite controllers, all via remote control from ESOC, ESA's European Space Operations Centre, Darmstadt, Germany.
With nine stations in seven countries, Estrack also includes ESA's trio of deep-space antenna (DSA) stations – massive, 35 m-diameter dish stations that provide global coverage and seamlessly interconnect with networks operated by NASA and other space agencies.
Estrack stations also gather radiometric data to help mission controllers know the location, trajectory and speed of their spacecraft. On a typical day, the stations are tasked to search for and acquire new spacecraft, provide auto-track coverage of current missions, provide frequency and timing control using atomic clocks, and gather atmospheric and weather data.
Some stations are also equipped with GPS receivers connected to our GPS Tracking and Data Analysis Facility at ESOC, enabling highly precise orbit and geophysical calculations.

When faced with a menu decision, many people believe a salad is the healthiest option. This is not always the case, as salads can be loaded with even more calories and fat than other entrees. A lot depends on the ingredients.
For example, Corner Bakery's Santa Fe Ranch salad contains 820 calories, 49 grams of fat and 1,500 mg of sodium (1,500 is the maximum the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends for most adults per day).
Panera is known for its "hand-tossed and freshly prepared" salads. Its Fuji Apple with Chicken Salad does better in most categories, with 560 calories, 34 grams of fat and 670 mg of sodium, but it also packs in 21 grams of sugar. Add the baguette that's served on the side, and you've got another 140 or 150 calories.
Some of the worst offenders are from popular sit-down chains. The Carolina Chicken Salad at Ruby Tuesday contains a whopping 1,106 calories, 47 grams of fat and 1,182 mg of sodium. And the Quesadilla Explosion Salad at Chili's must be one of the unhealthiest salads out there, with 1,430 calories, 96 grams of fat (28 grams of saturated fat), and 3,090 mg of sodium.
So how do you make sure your restaurant salad is good for you?
Dressings are often a calorie culprit. Ask your server for your dressing on the side. Then you can control how much you use, or leave it out altogether. Instead, try adding lemon or lime juice to enhance the flavor and provide moisture without the saturated fat, sugar, sodium and calories in most restaurant dressings. Fresh garlic, onions or herbs also help to add flavor.
And remember, fat-free or reduced-fat dressing doesn't always mean low in calories, as it could still be high in sugar.
Order once, enjoy twice! This really can go for any menu item, but some restaurants' supersized salads are more than you really need in a given meal. If you are a member of the clean-plate club, ask your server to package up half the salad before you eat so you can take some home for another meal. If you do this, make sure you ask for the dressing on the side so the salad does not get soggy.
If a restaurant allows substitutions, or if you're at a salad bar, there are lots of ways to make smart menu decisions. Replace cheese with avocado for a more healthful creamy texture. Or opt for grated cheese, which helps distribute flavor lightly throughout the salad. You can also go for more healthful cheeses, such as low-fat feta. Ask for your cheese on the side so you can control how much you are eating. In a fruity salad, swap dried fruit for fresh to avoid extra calories and sugar.
Watch out for red-flag items. Things to look out for in general: nuts that are "candied," protein that is "breaded" or "crispy" and dressings that are "creamy."
At home, you are in complete control. Try these tips for a more healthful homemade salad.
Go for dark leafy greens: There is more out there than iceberg lettuce. Try adding antioxidant-rich romaine (seven times more Vitamin A and C than iceberg), spinach (an excellent source of folate, Vitamin A, iron and Vitamin K) or kale (a go-to for calcium and the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which have been shown to promote eye health) to your salad for amazing health benefits. The darker the greens the better.
Load up on fresh veggies and fruit. Salads are an excellent way to meet your daily recommendation. The nutrients in fruits and vegetables vary with the type and color, so explore the rainbow: tomatoes (red), carrots (orange), yellow bell peppers, cucumbers (green), blueberries (blue) or beets (purple/red).
Top your salad with heart-healthy nuts such as walnuts or almonds for added fiber, protein and healthful fat. Sunflower and pumpkin seeds are also good options.
Make your own salad dressing to control fat, calories, sugar and sodium. Citrus and vinegars make great bases, and low-calorie flavor can be found in onions, shallots, garlic, herbs and mustards. A light spray of olive oil adds healthful fats and helps nutrient absorption. If you prefer creamy dressings, try avocados or fat-free Greek yogurt.
Add fiber and lean protein: Sprinkle flax or chia seeds for added fiber and nutrients. And add a lean protein (fish, beans, chickpeas or skinless chicken or turkey) to make your salad more satisfying.
What to toss from so-called 'healthy' salad
When faced with a menu decision, many people believe a salad is the healthiest option. This is not always the case, as salads can be loaded with even more calories and fat than other entrees. A lot depends on the ingredients.

Woo, doggie! It's good to be back! I hope you all thoroughly enjoyed your π Day; I know I certainly did
So much to talk about! First, Conquer Club has finally put their partnership with SOS Africa into action! See that "Just Giving" widget on the left side of your screen? Well, Conquer Club is raising money to sponsor a child's education in Africa - a girl named Kelebogile! If and when the community donates a total of ₤600 (about $950 USD), we get a brand new Africa map! For more information, click here to view the announcement.
Second, the Cartography Assistants have issued a North America contest and the voting has started! With over 100 votes, Map 3 seems to be pulling well in front, but it is by no means all wrapped up! The CAs have also designed a special Round 2 judging process by them, AndyDufresne, and various Foundry regulars. Who do you think will win? Click here to cast your vote!
Third, it seems our dear Conqueror, Gen.LeeGettinhed, is getting a bit more than just that. Reports of "ranching" in the Cheating & Abuse forum have risen against the highest-scoring player. The webmaster himself, lackattack, openly agreed with the large majority of the community on the matter, saying,
However, it has repeatedly been stated that ranching is not against the rules, due to the difficulty of enforcing it (i.e. where do you draw the line?). In the most recent report against Gen.LeeGettinhed, support administrator, king achilles, stated,lackattack wrote:I don't like it either when our Conqueror gets his points from cheap tactics. We just don't have a solution yet.
king achilles wrote:As for these Ranching reports, we are aware of this issue and we are also thinking of solutions in addressing this subject just so you know. And as what deathcomesrippin said, it still boils down to the fact that even though his tactics may be considered not of the "highest quality", they are still legal.

Hello again my friends, and welcome to your favorite part of the Newsletter, "War Games", where you can find information about CC Tournaments!
Well, after the gargantuan effort that we put into Issue 66, most of my team elected to take a break this time around, so this will be a brief edition of War Games.

Especially if you've been waiting to see our interviews with MudPuppy, greenoaks, or koontz1973, I suggest you check it out.)
The news in the Tournaments world right now are the pretty new tags in the Create/Join forum. I haven't gotten used to them yet, but most people are delighted with them.
