I read with interest your story on Katie Worsky ["Little girl lost: Remembering Katie Worksy after 25 years," July 12] not because I knew the Worskys, although I feel as if I did, but because, as Chief DeK Bowen stated, it was a very personal case to the police department. It became very personal to the families of the police involved as well.
I will submit one correction to your story. The detective you mentioned briefly, Bill Gates, was not Bill Gates but Bill Davis. He was my father, and he did indeed pass away last year.
But even as late as last year, prior to his death, this case was still on his mind. He never stopped thinking of Katie Worsky and her family. We did not see much of my father that summer as he was always working on the case, and even when he was home, he was not really there. He never talked of it at home, but we knew it was of utmost importance to him. He had three daughters of his own, and that may have contributed to his drive to find Katie.


Jeff and Charla had a lovley wedding at the Inn at Craigs Place. The couple had 25 of their closest friends and family join in the celebration. The coral roses and accents popped agains the traditional building.
After the union they cople shad a small but gorgus wedding cake and shared in the merriement of their guest. The couple left the Inn under a show of coral rose petals after they changed in to something a little more fun!
We are so happy yo have been apart of Charla and Jeffs special day, congratulations!

Archetypal Character Arcs, Pt. 20: The Flat Archetype of the Elder
Within a Positive-Change Arc, an Impact Character is the character (or characters) who represents the thematic Truth and its potential to "impact" and change the protagonist. However, within a Flat Arc, the protagonist is the Impact Character. As we delve deeper into the Flat archetypes of the life cycle's Third Act, we begin to see more and more definitely how "impactful" the archetypes of old age can be.
Indeed, we are most familiar with the Flat archetypes of Elder and Mentor for the very reason that they commonly appear in younger Change Arcs as important Impact Characters. We are most likely to recognize the Mentor as a staple within the Hero's Journey, but the preceding Elder archetype is no less viable or important, even though it may be a bit more prosaic.
The Elder is the "resting" archetype that lives in between the tremendously transformative Change Arcs of the King—which concluded the cycle's Second Act as the final "mature" or "adult" arc—and the Crone—which as the first of the two "elder" or "old-age" archetypes in the Third Act will signify the character's graduation into true elderhood. While the subsequent Mentor may be more proactive in guiding the young up-and-coming protagonists into the next generational cycle, the Elder is no less influential in providing crucial guidance and enacting important change in surrounding characters.
The Elder: Making Peace With Death
Previous Arc: King
Subsequent Arc: Crone
Subsequent Possible negative Archetypes: Hermit (passive); Wicked Witch (active)
Essentially, the Elder is the "resting" form of the Crone. As such, this character is in a state of integration after the tremendous trials and sacrifices of the previous King Arc, which ended with a self-sacrificial "retreat" into the "elder realm."
We can clearly see the Elder in the beginning of the Crone's First Act when the Elder is yet undecided about whether to answer the next Call to Adventure and embark upon a further transformation. In this period, and the entire resting stage prior to it, the Crone, and therefore the Elder, can be seen to have retreated from the world.
Symbolically, the Elder lives apart from the Kingdom, in a secluded Hut in the woods. More prosaically, this is a character who has retired from the hustle-bustle of commercial, political, or social concerns. Again symbolically, the character is withered, perhaps physically infirm or limited. He or she is no longer at the center of the whirling challenges of power and relationship.
Assuming this character has successfully and willingly completed the previous King Arc, then this current state is one to which he or she is at least partially reconciled. It is, however, totally possible for a character to simply be "dumped" into this phase by the inevitable encroachment of old age. Either way, the character is understandably in a phase of grief, recovery, and integration.
Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes (affiliate link)
But within this character—as the subsequent Change Arcs of Crone and Mage shall ripely prove—there is, perhaps not-so-surprisingly, what Clarissa Pinkola Estés refers to in Women Who Run With the Wolves as "fecundity."
The queen mother/crone … figure represents many things, among them fecundity, the vast authority to see into the tricks of the predator, and the ability to soften curses. The word fecundity, which sounds like drum talk when said aloud, means more than fertile, it means pregnable, the way soil is pregnable. She is that black soil glittering with mica, black hairy roots, and all the life that has gone before, broken down into a fragrant sludge of humus. The word fertility has behind it the sense of seeds, eggs, beings, ideas. Fecundity is the basal matter in which seeds are laid, prepared, warmed, incubated, saved. This is why the old mother is often called by her oldest names—Mother Dust, Mother Earth, Mam, and Ma—for she is the muck that makes ideas happen.
This deep black soil is the treasure of a life's work. However changed the Elder's circumstances—from Palace to Hut—this is a character who has lived a full and good life. This is a character who has seen and met many challenges—and, if he or she is a true Elder, has overcome those challenges with grace, courage, and wisdom.
In short, this is a character with a lot to teach just about everyone else. In no small part, it is in this teaching—this ability to impact the coming generation—that the Elder will find personal healing and the strength to embark on the tremendous Change Arcs of the Third Act.
The Elder's Normal World
We see the Elder in the seemingly scary old woman—the Baba Yaga—who lives in a hut deep in the woods and hangs dead cats and other horrors outside her house. The children dare each other to look through her window, convincing themselves she is a witch. And she may play along, in part as jest, in part as unspoken test, and in part because she's not so sure she wouldn't just rather be alone.
Estés writes evocatively:
She is outside the seeming happy families of the villages, outside the warm room and out in the cold; that is her life now. This becomes the living metaphor for women on the journey. We begin somehow not to feel a part of the life that carnivals about us. The calliope seems far away, the barkers, the hucksters, the whole magnificent circus of outer life wobbles and then falls to dust as we descend farther into the underworld.
We can see this in many stories about the brave young person—the budding Maiden or Hero—who dares to keep coming back to visit the grumpy oldster, as in Shirley MacLaine's The Last Word and Bill Murray's St. Vincent, among many others.
It isn't, of course, strictly necessary that the Elder live alone or even apart from society. This is merely a symbolic representation of how the Third Act of life is separated from the previous two acts in definite but sometimes vague ways. It is totally possible that the Elder character lives with the children or grandchildren or other relatives.
A good example is found in Truman Capote's autobiographical stories, such as "A Christmas Memory," about his childhood friendship with an elderly cousin while both were living with and dependent upon other "less understanding" relatives. In these stories, the cousin isn't stereotypically "grumpy." But she is clearly removed from the bustle of "grown-up life," just as she has also clearly not taken her next transformation into the profound understanding that comes with the following Crone Arc.
If you are to tell a Flat-Arc story about an Elder, what is important is that the character's (probably self-imposed) isolation or separation is breached in some way. Other characters, after all, have to "get in" in order to be transformed by the Elder's wisdom. (If the story is about an older protagonist on a lonely quest—such as in David Guterson's novel East of the Mountains-–then it is probably not a Flat Elder story, but rather a Crone's Change Arc.)
The Elder's Relationship to the Thematic Truth
Why is it that the Elder has different or more thematic Truths to teach than the previous Flat archetypes of Parent and Ruler? Although, obviously, the Elder has lived longer and inevitably picked up a few more clues along the way, the real difference is that the Truths of the Third Act are of a different caliber than those of the previous two acts, however much they may be related.
Estés speaks of the paradigmatic difference:
In the topside world, all is interpreted in the light of simple gains and losses. In the underworld or other world, all is interpreted in light of the mysteries of true sight, right action, and the development of becoming a person of intense inner strength and knowing.
Having just completed the King Arc, the Elder has most recently assimilated a Truth that might be phrased as: "Spiritual strength and physical strength are not always the same. Indeed, sometimes one must be willing to sacrifice the latter for the former."
More than that, however, the thematic Truth presented in an Elder story will largely depend on whatever it is the younger Change-Arc character needs to learn. At this point, the Elder has done it all (or almost all), at least archetypally speaking. Whatever practical or relational problem the younger character is struggling with will be one the Elder knows the answer to, if only by dint of time and experience.
Even in stories such as St. Vincent, in which the character has clearly not aced all his previous arcs and is in many ways a seeming failure, he still knows what the young Change-Arc character needs in order to advance.
How the Elder Creates Change in Supporting Characters
In many ways, the Elder is an obvious archetype. The idea of the old mentoring the young is familiar to us all. And yet in other ways, the profundity of this archetype has largely faded from modern (or at least Western) culture. Elders are no longer revered as they once were—and I daresay this is largely because few elders are truly Elders, in the archetypal sense of someone who has completed all the initiations and arcs up to this point in the life cycle.
Wherever we encounter true Elder energy, we encounter something very special. We encounter the presence of a person who has the ability to not just guide or teach the younger generation, but to act as the very initiatory force that allows these younger characters to embark upon and complete their own journeys. (It is no accident that it is often, and most significantly, the subsequent impact archetype of the Mentor who "calls" the Hero to the Quest.)
Many of our current Elder stories feature protagonists, such as Bill Murray's Vincent, who have not fully reached this stage archetypally and who therefore can offer only limited guidance and mentorship to their youngsters. Usually they are still trying to sort through their own unfinished business from their Second-Act arcs. These stories certainly have their place, since they reflect reality and indeed may help us process our current struggles with initiatory arcs. However, a true Elder story is one in which the Elder possesses more than just common-sense advice gleaned from a life's experience, but more specifically a wisdom so deep it is in fact a latent power.
The Hero With a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (affiliate link)
In The Hero With a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell recounts the beautiful Irish tale of four brothers who tried to convince an old hag to give them water from her well. The three older brothers fail her tests because they fail to understand or respect the simple truth of her well-earned magnificence. Only the youngest brother, Niall, succeeds and earns the right to be initiated by this true Elder:
Olioll, Brian, Fiches [the older brothers], likewise, went on the quest and equally attained to the identical well. Each solicited the old thing for water, but denied her the kiss [she requested as payment].
Finally, it was Niall who went, and he came to the very well, "Let me have water, woman!" he cried. "I will give it," said she, "and bestow on me a kiss." He answered: "forby giving thee a kiss, I will even hug thee!" Then he bends to embrace her, and gives her a kiss. Which operation ended, and when he looked at her, in the whole world was not a young woman of gait more graceful, in universal semblance fairer than she: to be likened to the last-fallen snow lying in trenches every portion of her was, from crown to sole; plump and queenly forearms, fingers long and taper, straight legs of a lovely hue she had; two sandals of the white bronze betwixt her smooth and soft white feet and the earth; about her was an ample mantle of the choicest fleece, pure crimson, and in a garment a brooch of white silver; she had lustrous teeth of pearl, great regal eyes, mouth red as a rowanberry. "Here, woman, is a galaxy of charms," said the young man. "That is true indeed." "And who art thou?"' he pursued. "Royal Rule am I," she answered, and uttered this:
"King of Tara! I am Royal Rule…
"Go now," she said, "to thy brethren, and take with thee water moreover, thine and thy children's for ever the kingdom and supreme power shall be…. And as at the first thou hast seen me ugly, brutish, loathly—in the end, beautiful—even so is royal rule: for without battles, without fierce conflict, it may not be won; but in the result, he that is king of no matter what shows comely and handsome forth."
Types of Story That Feature an Elder Protagonist
As with all of the Third-Act archetypes, it becomes more and more difficult to find well-executed examples that feature these characters as protagonists. We are much more likely to find them showing up as supporting Impact Characters in a younger protagonist's story.
These stories can span the gamut of possibilities, depending upon the type of change the younger character is undergoing. Most often, we find the Elder interacting with a Child (who as a fellow Flat archetype may also ingenuously offer certain truths to the Elder, which will aid the older character in the necessary healing and integration before the new trials of the Crone Arc), a Maiden, a Lover, a Parent, or a Queen.
The Elder isn't likely to interact with a Ruler or King, simply because the Elder is so recently and traumatically graduated from these archetypes. To get involved with figures of power would likely cause a regression. The Elder has just left the Palace; the Hut is where the Elder needs to be for the time.
The Elder also isn't likely to interact with the Hero, since a Hero showing up at her door often signifies the Elder's own Call to Adventure within the Crone Arc. As we've seen, the Hero will very often accompany the Crone on her descent to the Underworld (such as in Pixar's Up).
As with most of the Flat archetypes, the Elder is likely to feature in a "domestic" story. Unlike the Change Arcs, which are at least symbolically about threats to the Kingdom (i.e., the "threat" of impending and necessary change), the Flat archetypes represent characters dealing with the mundane, if no less dramatic, trials of daily life.
Indeed, some of our Elders' most potent work is not even that of undergoing their own remaining transformation arcs, but also simply offering back all they have earned and learned to guide the transitions of the younger arcs who follow in their footsteps.
Examples of the Elder:
Examples of the Elder archetype include the following.
John Jarndyce in Bleak House
Ninny Threadgoode in Fried Green Tomatoes
Aunt Trotwood in David Copperfield
Vincent in St. Vincent
Harriet in The Last Word
Sook in "A Christmas Memory"
Stay Tuned: Next week, we will finish our exploration of the Flat archetypes with the Mentor.

Katie, I love all these series!! My question is not necessarily related to archetypal character arc, but—in your opinion, what comes first: outline, story structure, character arc . . . What should the first step be in beginning to work with a story? When to add the other elements? Thank you so much!!
I see outlining as a comprehensive process that begins with brainstorming–and therefore includes work on structure and character arcs–and only then moves on to scene lists. The structure of plot and character arc are intrinsically linked, so it's important to work on them in tandem. I talk about that some in this post: https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/how-to-outline-for-nanowrimo-weaving-story-pieces/
Pat says
I love your statement: "Elders are no longer revered as they once were—and I daresay this is largely because few elders are truly Elders, in the archetypal sense of someone who has completed all the initiations and arcs up to this point in the life cycle." I wonder why? Did the former elders grow weary in training up the younger generations? Did the younger generations give up on the hard work of passing initiations into maturity? Or is it the Western fascination with youth?
I wonder if Guinan (in Star Trek: Next Generation) would be an Elder or a Mentor? As she counsels the captain, she deals less with the day-to-day and more with big principle, almost spiritual in nature.
Or how about Galadriel (in Lord of the Rings)? After she passes her king test and chooses to diminish and go into the west.
And this is a crazy suggestion… I even wonder about Origami Yoda. The wisdom that come from that finger puppet raises all the middle schoolers who listen into more mature young people, even, eventually, the original villain of the series. Or would OY be more in the ruler or parent role in training up these middle schoolers in the Maiden roles?
This is where I wonder about the difference between the Act 2 mentors and the Act 3 mentors. Is it that Act 2 mentors prepare the maidens/heroes for worldly battle while the Act 3 mentors prepare maidens/heroes for spiritual battle?
I'm not familiar with most of these characters, so can't comment. But they all sound interesting!
And, yes, I think you're on to something interesting with the distinction between Mentors as Impact Characters for protagonists in the different "acts" of life.
In the comments on the Child Flat Arc post, there were several who spoke about the difficulty of writing a good Child character. In the Origami Yoda Files, by Tom Angleberger, he nails the middle school mind in all its complexity and variety. Some of his characters are still in the Child arc. Others are moving through the Maiden arc, and some have graduated into the Lover. Anyone wanting to have a quick, fun read while looking at how someone really captured normal kids, I highly recommend this series.
Just looked. it up. Great title!
Thanks again. I have to confess that I perhaps resemble this one too much to be as excited by it, though I don't feel particularly fecund most days. The example I came up with is the Henry Fonda (Grandpa) character in "On Golden Pond". I think grandparents in general likely fall into this category when they're not acting as foster parents, though Catherine Hepburn (Grandma) acted as more of a mentor to the daughter character.
I agree with the previous writer, Whoopi Goldman probably acted as this in Start Trek Next Generation. Arguably all the elf elders fit this in LOTR.
Yes to LOTR!
I have to wonder why true elders are so rare in our culture? Have we fetishized youth too much? Are people unwilling to move to the next stage because of that idealized sense that life is only good when we are still under forty?
Actually, that sounds correct to me. Plus, it seems like children don't have as much respect of adults as they used to. Then that attitude carries over when those children become adults.
I think there's truth to all that's mentioned here. I also think it's part of a vicious cycle. When there are no Elders to initiate the younger generations, it becomes ever more difficult for the young to initiate themselves and authentically graduate to the Second- and Third-Act archetypes.
In terms of why elders are rarer, I'm going to speak in stereotypes of the premodern era and hope these stereotypes show some truth. So in days gone by, it wasn't that unusual for families to be large and living in the same home as grandma/grandpa, so they wound up having lots if interactions with children. We're also talking in a pre-broadcast media era, so there wasn't so much distracting entertainment, meaning people spent more time talking to each other (or lord forbid reading books). Also the rate of change (technical, cultural, …) wasn't as great, so grandma's and grandpa's knowledge held up a little better. Lastly, I don't think dementia was the problem it is today, though that's probably because people died for other reasons sooner. Regardless, these days many elderly people require a great deal of care and I think that somewhat cuts into the wise elder persona.
So, it's likely true we do not value our elders as much as in the past, but there are some pretty complex reasons for that and I don't see these as anyone's fault.
"Also the rate of change (technical, cultural, …) wasn't as great, so grandma's and grandpa's knowledge held up a little better."
I had never thought about that before. Thanks very much for sharing!
I really like the imagery of the elder as fertile soil. The idea of generations of growth and decay enriching it is really powerful.
Of course it indicates that when people say someone is old as dirt they are telling the truth.
"The idea of generations of growth and decay enriching it is really powerful."
Yes! I hadn't even thought of this bit.
RKPersaud says
Can it be said the Child, Parent and Elders roles are guidance roles who aid other characters transition through life, while the Lover, Ruler and Mentor roles are gateway roles who control access to new worlds and usher younger characters through?
Interesting. I like that a lot! I was sensing a differentiation there, but hadn't thought it through. Thanks very much!
jjpkatz says
Another really great post.
One idea I have is that the Elder might be an Impact Character in some cases through their *absence* rather than through their *presence*. Interacting with someone who is physically or materially weakened, who is withdrawn or in mourning may in of itself offer other characters the chance to reflect on the role of "non-action" in life and how things can be happening even when they don't seem to be happening. It can also challenge them to appreciate others and parts of themselves that are not "contributing" and "producing" in some obvious way. But the Elder might demonstrate this less by openly explaining it than embodying it, if that makes any sense.
I agree. This would be an interesting challenge in characterization.
I think the Elder is probably one of those flat characters trying to avoid being changed by the world, instead of trying to change the world himself. The World keeps creeping in, trying to get him involved in all the old politics and social games, and the Elder is not having it. Their flat arc journey is about seeing whether they'll resist that temptation to be lured back or not. For example, a Gandhi-like character that teaches non-violent resistance. Throughout the story the Elder would be learning new techniques to deploy even when forced to take action, but refuses to use the old ways a Hero or King might use, that accomplishes the goal without sacrificing their separation from the old political/social world.
invalidname says
I'm catching up from a few weeks behind, but that may be a good thing, as I was able to listen to the elder and mentor episodes back-to-back and compare/contrast them.
One fairly mainstream Elder I'd like to nominate is Bruce Wayne as he appears in the cartoon Batman Beyond. This series is set decades after Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League Unlimited, with a badly-aged Bruce Wayne living as a hermit (ding ding ding!), after age has forced him to give up the Batman costume. In one flashback, we see his lowest moment, when Batman is overwhelmed fighting a minor group of thugs and is forced to draw a gun on them, violating his most sacred oath. Bruce withdraws from the world after this, becoming an ill-tempered and menacing recluse, drawn out only when new protagonist Terry McGinnis breaks into his mansion in an effort to find out who murdered his father — the killers are connected to Bruce's business partner — and unwittingly stumbles into the Batcave. In time, Terry will become the new Batman, with Bruce lending him technical and strategic assistance, based on his years of experience as the original Batman.
Danielle Waldrup says
This is on the grounds that we never truly know what's going on with a story until we arrive at the completion. In any case what has preceded, the completion gives the last editorial. The closure is the thing that shows whether the creator discovers this present story's series of occasions to be disastrous, comedic, victorious, amusing, or even indistinct.


If you liked my workflow and want to learn more, check out my new training series, Photoshop for Photographers.
That was awesome and very informative! Thanks for sharing man!
Very nice! I was wondering if you have any techniques you use if you have people on a photo.
Wonderful…. nice to get an insight.
The only difference I have in my workflow is that I don't save the PSD file anywhere. I usually flatten the image (to limit file size) and then just save it. So the final would popup in Aperture as well.
Now I swapped to Lightroom because of the presets. And a pluging to pixelpost, so I save a lot of time. Which comes in handy when you have 2 kids running around…..
Great demo, Thanks for sharing!
I'm just starting out as hobbyist photographer. I'm using the GIMP to edit photos ('cause it's free and works on Linux). Just wondering if you've ever tried GIMP or have any comments about it.
It reminds me that I need to get Photoshop for my MacBook. And then learn how to use it.
How does using curves differ from messing with the color balance dialog? i used to use alot of curves but lately i've found the color balance dialog a little more helpful.
Great vids btw, keep em coming!
really helpful, thanks man. that was an education, thanks for spreading your knowhow.
You just blew my mind with that blue curves in the black thing. Awesome.
I never really thought about the difference in blacks across film and digital, definitely was a d'oh moment! Great tip and I'm going to try that on some photos soon.
Is there a tablet involved? Always handy for photo retouch, even the tiny small cheap ones so long as they have pressure sensitivity.
@Bu, with Curves you're adjusting the overall light within the RGB image (or each channel if you wish to do so), therefore changing lightness and shadow, i.e., white and black. In Color Balance you're merely adjusting the color of the various ranges (shadows, midtones, highlights). Now, I don't use Color Balance much, but it seems like you can't select this range, whereas in Curves you have control over which part of the entire range of the image you want to affect (note the histogram). Also, and I think Curves is the only effect like this, it creates a smooth rolloff around the your adjustments, whereas in Levels it's more linear (though I'm sure some sort of interpolation is going on, but you can't control it as you can with Curves).
@aris, he is using a tablet, I noticed that ubiquitous Wacom pen at the end. They're really great tools and make everything easier.
Yeah – loved that tutorial. Always fun to see how creative people do things – !!!
and do you have your favourite recommendation for tv screen and home cinema speakers?
This is my first time viewing your site. I dig the format and topics of your videos, good job! Just wondering, what kind of camera do you shoot with and what is your favorite lens that you use?
Lastly, your motion pieces are off the hook! I'm just starting out in AE and I'm really stoked that I found your site. So far, I've seen 3 casts and picked up some solid information. Keep up the good work!
The Magic is gone. humph.
you are getting the groove of the camera .. get a job at cnet or be an online art teacher.
Very cool, like so many, i love seeing others work flow and style…nice "show" man!
any chance we'll get to see some quick AE work flows / tutorials etc..?? I know that can be a bit more difficult and time consuming, could be cool though…just a thought.
Nick – very cool idea [the GSG casts] and thanks for sharing a bit of workflow. I figured you'd be doing almost everything in Aperture! I might've said this before, but the only time I go outside of Lightroom to PS anymore is to do retouching for clients with the tablet.
Jasper and Xavier: I will definitely do a "portrait" tutorial soon. Good idea!
Andrew: Thanks for answering Bu and aris's Questions for me!
Keith: I use a D700 and and assortment of lenses. Check the about page for more technical details.
Vit: I have a Quad Mac Pro with a 23″ Apple Cinema Display.
gus gavino: AE tuts are sure to come as I get more comfortable in front of the camera. So excited.
Thanks everyone for such great comments!
thanks for the nice insight in your workflow.
Could you make a list, what your favourite mac programms are?
Wow, that is a really nice tutorial, thanks for sharing Nick! I really wanted to see some tutorials about motion graphics 🙂 Looking forward to your next tutorial!!
Hey Nick! nice tutorial, btw this is my first time on your site.
Hi Nick, thank you for this very useful tut.
To move the workspace like I did you first must be in the right framing mode. Hit "f" until the screen is full of the background. Then, hold the spacebar and click and drag to move the image around.
Hello, great work from you specially those photos from the staff of DK!
By the way, I don't know if matters to you but I think that you accidentally revealed your user and pass when logging in to your website in this video.
My website has some bugs, wait a bit for it to load I yet don't know how to build a loading bar.
Miguel: Thats the best part about ScreenFlow. It knew I was typing my password and blocked it out. Thanks for your concern though.
I was in my work just getting out from a long night shift from 4.00 am to 11:30 in the morning. Those missing hours of sleep sure make quite a damage.
Looking forward to see more from you.
I use http://haveamint.com/ to track my stats.
Nice tutorial, the black coloring was a new one for me !
This tutorial is a great service to beginners. You describe in 10 minutes what I spent 10 years teaching myself (using non-destructive tools, the subtleties of film, directing the viewer's eye). You should drop the Aperture and Pixelpost stuff and put this out as a short introduction to Photoshop image correction. Awesome.
First, thanks for doing this site. I have watched and continue to search for new sites all the time. I love your non scripted tutorials keep that side of the site up. I watched your lines to cube tut last week and it was very helpful. You touched on one thing, that I have always struggled with, but you didn't finish it. Which is the transition between two AE comps. Meaning, on the lines tut you had the lines come towards the camera. Then the next comp. you had the lines make the circle comp. My question is how did you make the lines match from one scene to the next? Transitions, no site have I found does a work flow on transitions.
The transition is just an edit. I rendered out different camera angles in after effects and then edited them together to make the entire piece. No special transitions required. Hope that made sense. Thanks for watching!
How do you go about choosing your photo size for web? You mentioned that you resize to a width of 980px in Photoshop. Is there a logic for that size, or does it happen to be a certain % of the original size?
I'm also shooting a D700, so my images start at the same resolution, and I often export directly from Aperture, skipping the Photoshop stage.
I don't even know how I ended up right here, but I believed this submit used to be great. I don't understand who you might be but definitely you are going to a well-known blogger in the event you aren't already. Cheers!
Many many thanks for sharing with us the great tutorial. Waiting for another fantastic post.

There are so many fun things to do with Instagram pictures.
Need some new or original art for your walls?
Bumblejax prints and mounts your Instagram (or any digital pic) on cool mediums like bamboo, Plexiglass, aluminum or foam. Real expensive looking artwork right from your iPhone!
Maybe your fridge is a little dull?
How about a teeny spiral-bound mini-book?
Too busy to deal with buying post card stamps? Postagram will create a real post card (not digital) from your Instagram, iPhone or Facebook library and send it through the USPS. All you do is snap the picture.
How 'bout an iPhone case with your own pictures instead of some designers?
Or maybe you'd like to re-tile your bathtub or shower?
These teeny stickers are great for car windows, second quarter earnings reports and bathroom stalls (especially at the office).
Think the world should be wholly covered with your phone camera awesomeness? You can plaster virtually every surface with your i-phone pics using Instamaker. T-shirts, mugs and pillows are all possibilities.
Not interested in turning something digital into something physical?


The Somatics | Did You Ever Love Me?
The Somatics - Did You Ever Love Me?
This is a review of "Did You Ever Love Me?" recorded by The Somatics. The review was written by John Hepworth in 2004.
A phone call from a middleman brought about a nocturnal meeting at The Somatics' Attic Studio on the high ground of west Leeds, where three levels of concrete stairway led to a warm welcome, and to brief but wide-ranging conversation (Gershwin, the Borderline, King Crimson, the Summer weather of 1928). I left carrying a wrapped, sealed and undiscussed copy of the new product, and now one day later, feel surprised at how my convictions have moved away from favouring the third track 'Waiting' - which has more than half the CD's 12min 28 - to the two brisker rowdier numbers that precede it.
The old factory yard I'd passed through to reach the studio, the graffiti speckled former Post Office van that looked familiar from various music venues, the hurtling rat fleeing my headlights, have become a sort of interior video to the alienated indoor/outdoor world of that first song 'Did You Ever Love Me?' with its carefully built tinny-ness over a much richer texture. If a commissioning overlord had demanded the sound of Del Shannon manifest with a touch of Smiths (Patti as well as The), the Somatics could offer the title track of this three item single with confidence, and the rest of us can take that as a recommendation.
Raving vocal claustrophobia from Stephanie bounces round in 'We Never Loved You', bursting into a smile-inducing synth-like solo (which, bearing in mind Richard's aptitude for defining boundaries and then pushing at them, could actually be clever guitar). I wouldn't like to think the song's sentiments are yet another duffing up for the Who's poor old Tommy Walker; but even if that were so, Bruce's drums put noteworthy style and identity into the procedure.
'Waiting' opens lightly before an oppressive windowless or even subterranean feeling develops. A sense of uniformed authority arrives with a military rattle of snare drum, and semi-intelligible Lennonesque vocals suggest an unfocused state of anxiety.
When a listener (such as the one writing this) expresses views too much by comparison with other artists, it can mean the music is only just beginning to reveal itself, and there's still a way to go before meeting it on its own terms. Inferior stuff wearies the attention before a fuller understanding is approached. Little danger of that with The Somatics, who in this single and elsewhere are likely to stir up interest for some time to come.

Biographie
Milada Vavrdová, née Milada Dvořáková, est née le 25 avril 1938 à Prague, dans la famille d'Arnošt Dvořák, architecte et géophysicien. Son grand-père est l'architecte et homme politique Josef Záruba-Pfeffermann, qui possédait un domaine à Cholín où la famille séjournait souvent. En 1945 elle vit la libération de la ville par l'Armée rouge. Après la guerre, elle rejoint les scouts, ce qui changea de façon déterminante sa vision du monde et confirma sa relation très étroite avec la nature.

Elle étudie ensuite la géologie et est diplômée de la faculté des sciences de l'Université Charles. Depuis 1961, elle travaille à l'Institut géologique de l'Académie tchèque des sciences à Prague. Elle travaille trois mois en Inde en 1966, une expérience bouleversante pour elle. De 1967 à 1972, elle vécut avec son mari, Ivo Vavrda, en Zambie, où ils mènent des recherches géologiques et cartographient des gisements minéraux. Au Geological Survey of Zambia, elle a étudié les sédiments de l'île de Mutondwe dans le lac Tanganyika, dans la province de Luapula. Avec le professeur P.E. Isaacson, elle a décrit des microfossiles végétaux provenant de sites d'Amérique du Sud (Isla del Sol, Madre de Díos, lac Titicaca), de Bolivie et du Pérou. La vie en Zambie est difficile, entre manque de confort, criminalité, et départ des Britanniques à la suite de la décolonisation. Le troisième enfant du couple nait en Afrique. Ivo Vavrda meurt dans un accident de voiture aux circonstances encore troubles, peu avant, après qu'il a décidé de rentrer en Tchécoslovaquie.

Ces dernières années, Milada Vavrdová étudie les traces de revêtements microbiens dans les roches du Barrandien déposées il y a 600 millions d'années. Pendant son temps libre, elle prend des photos et écrit des poèmes.

'Some Corner of a Foreign Field'
1st June 2015 | 1914-1918
Since the centenary of the outbreak of the Great War, the Chronicle has recounted the experiences of local men who served their country. Some, like Maynard Ward and Len Capell, returned safely, though changed forever. Others, such as Harold Kirk and Tom Brutnell, did not return. Their families mourned them then and their loss is still felt today. Accounts of journeys to find out what grandfathers or great-uncles endured and where they are buried are often very poignant. As one writer says "The effects of war are like everlasting ripples in a pond. As the generations pass we will remember John and the sacrifice he made."
Over the months, the Chronicle will record some of these journeys. Here, Glyn Hatfield writes about his brother's discovery in France of the headstone of Harry Holyoak, one of the very first volunteers from Kibworth.
Comrades in Arms
We are commemorating the centenary of the events of the First World War, when German hostilities were directed towards this country. Many heart-rending reminiscences have been recorded since that time highlighting the tragedies that befell so many families throughout the British Empire, including our own Royal Family, when the armies of first cousins, King George V and Kaiser Wilhelm II, met on the battlefields of Europe.
Harry Holyoak's headstone in the British War Cemetery in Croisilles, France (Glyn Hatfield)
A few years ago, my brother Neil and sister-in-law Marian, were travelling through France when they decided to try and locate the grave of Marian's maternal great uncle, Robert Brown, who was sadly killed in action in the Great War, aged 20, at Croisilles. Robert had joined the 9th Battalion, the Leicestershire Regiment and after a period of training in Aldershot, he was sent to fight in France. He was killed during one of the battles near Arras on 15 June 1917, along with several comrades on that day. His grave was located in the British War Cemetery in Croisilles, where it was noted that each of the headstones were placed closer together than usual. It transpired that a total of 28 soldiers from his and other battalions of the Leicestershire Regiment were killed between 8 and 18 June and they were all subsequently laid to rest in a grave where their arms were linked together as a show of comradeship even in death.
My brother took a photograph of Robert Brown's grave for the family archives but then noticed, a few headstones along, there was one for a John Harry Holyoak, who died on the same day as Robert, aged 24, both belonging to the same regiment. My brother was aware that a couple of Holyoaks were mentioned on the War Memorial in Kibworth so, whilst there, he decided to take a further photograph of this other headstone, in the hope it would match up with one of the inscriptions. After some research, I established that it did and John Harry Holyoak, known as Harry, was indeed a Kibworthian. He signed attestation papers in Market Harborough in September 1914, along with 13 other volunteers from Kibworth.
So many young lives were lost during this period in our history and I remember an old friend of the family, Miss Winifred Vann, once telling me that every man from her street in Leicester (Elbow Lane) joined the Leicestershire Regiment and all but one were killed in action. The one who did return, however, suffered the effects of gas poisoning and sadly didn't live long enough to celebrate the Armistice being signed. Thankfully, my two great uncles, William and Cecil Hatfield, also belonging to the Leicestershire Regiment, returned home safe and well from the conflict.
As we commemorate this centenary, let us remember the bravery shown by so many of our predecessors, enduring those terrible conditions in the trenches and elsewhere and also the heartache suffered at home by the families of loved ones who perished, for the freedom we enjoy today. We are indebted to those brave service men and women who volunteered to fight for their King and Country 100 years ago and who came from all corners of the Empire, including Kibworth and other surrounding villages, as can be seen from the inscriptions on the many War Memorials up and down the country and throughout the Commonwealth.

Structural neuroimaging of social cognition in progressive non-fluent aphasia and behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia.
Couto JB, Manes F, Montañes P, Matallana D, Reyes P, Velásquez MM, Yoris A, Báez S, Ibanez A.
Social cognition impairments are pervasive in the frontotemporal dementias (FTD). These deficits would be triggered by (a) basic emotion and face recognition processes as well as by (b) higher level social cognition (e.g., theory of mind, ToM). Both emotional processing and social cognition impairments have been previously reported in the behavioral variant of FTD (bvFTD) and also in other versions of FTDs, including primary progressive aphasia. However, no neuroanatomic comparison between different FTD variants has been performed. We report selective behavioral impairments of face recognition, emotion recognition, and ToM in patients with bvFTD and progressive non-fluent aphasia (PNFA) when compared to controls. Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) shows a classical impairment of mainly orbitofrontal (OFC), anterior cingulate (ACC), insula and lateral temporal cortices in patients. Comparative analysis of regional gray matter related to social cognition deficits (VBM) reveals a differential pattern of fronto-insulo-temporal atrophy in bvFTD and an insulo-temporal involvement in PNFA group. Results suggest that in spite of similar social cognition impairments reported in bvFTD and PNFA, the former represents an inherent ToM affectation whereas in the PNFA these deficits could be related to more basic processes of face and emotion recognition. These results are interpreted in the frame of the fronto-insulo-temporal social context network model (SCNM).
En este trabajo comparamos la asociación de los patrones de atrofia de la social context network model (SCNM, que involucra áreas fronto-insulo-temporales) con en reconocimiento facial (RF), emocional (RE) y la teoría de la mente (TM) en las versiones conductuales (bvFTD) y temporales (PNFA) de la demencia frontotemporal mediante volumetría de resonancia magnética. Los resultados de neuroimágenes sugieren que a pesar de las similitudes que presentan las dos versiones de la demencia respecto a la cognición social, la bvFTD presenta una afectación inherente de áreas asociadas a TM de la SCNM, mientras que la PNFA presenta déficits más básicos de RF y RE a la base del déficit de TM.

Q: MSSQL - Use hierarchical query result as subquery i want to use  hierarchical query result as subquery but i get some errors:
My hierarchical query:

                JOIN tree parent on parent.Oid = child.ParentCompany where child.GCRecord is null ) SELECT Oid FROM tree) t

And my problematic query as below:
select  *from DeliverySchedule where Company in (

We all know that breastfeeding has many nutritional benefits to mom and baby. What we don't always know is that sometimes breastfeeding your baby does not always happen so easily.
Some moms and babies have a rough start. Some run into problems a few days in. Some struggle for weeks. We all deserve help, and a lactation professional is a go-to expert in these matters.
Here are 5 questions you can ask to help you find the right lactation consultant for your situation.
1. Are you an IBCLC?
After finding out if she is an IBCLC, this should be your next question. Location is a key factor in deciding who to use. There is no point in connecting with someone who lives too far from you. Traveling long distances with a new baby can be quite tiring. If you had a difficult birth and cannot travel or do not want to travel, you will want to find an IBCLC that offers home visits.
3. What happens during the consult?
You can ask what is covered during your lactation consult. A comprehensive consultation should cover an assessment of you and your babies anatomy. Your IBCLC should be using a scale during consults, weigh your baby before and after a feeding, observe a full feeding, make suggestions towards resolving your challenges and provide you with a care plan to refer to once you are home.
4. What is offered in terms of follow-up care?
Most moms will need to be followed up and will want a method that works well for them. Be sure there are convenient ways for you to follow up with your IBCLC. Some IBCLCs offer texting as a means of following up. If you are uncomfortable with this method because of a confidentiality concern, find out if phone calls or email is offered. Follow up is important as it allows you to provide feedback after the consult and continue to receive help until your problem is solved. Two weeks follow-up is the average time frame.
5. Do you know of anyone else who has used this IBCLC?
Having a referral from a healthcare provider, friend or family member who has seen this IBCLC is always optimal. If this is not doable, checking out her website, what she offers. Testimonials are all helpful in your decision making. Having a short conversation on the phone will likely help you make the final decision if this person is right for you.

What Does a CDMA iPhone Mean for Apple? A 500 Million People New Market
Tech pundits, blogs and media have been discussing about a Verizon iPhone for years. Since 2007, actually, when the first iPhone came out. According to the latest rumors we heard earlier this week, though, Apple is not working on a Verizon iPhone: it's working on a CDMA iPhone that, among others, will support Verizon.
CDMA is a technology that's deeply used in the US, not that much in Europe (do we have any CDMA providers here, fellow Europeans?) - an awful lot in Asia. Of course a Verizon iPhone would mean another huge round of possibilities and success for Apple in the US (the Verizon iPhone is now some sort of a myth), but what about other countries? If you think about it, it would make perfect sense for Apple to release an updated version of the iPhone 4 in January (together with an iPad 2 announcement, perhaps) to work on all international CDMA carriers, and not just Verizon.
So how big is this market?
Asymco's Horace Dediu did some research: a CDMA-enabled iPhone would increase Apple's addressable market by 16 percent. Or, 500 million people.
To be exact, it's 543 million CDMA subscribers according to Dediu. That's quite a big market. Think about it again: it makes sense for Apple to release a CDMA iPhone. I think this time we're really months away from the truth.
