How does one get into the animation field?
I want to be able to create my own cartoons eventually. I love the unique worlds such as Cowboy Bebop, or Aeon Flux… and I want to know how to get a job like that.

I graduated from art college several years ago. AAC in the bayarea. If you don’t know anyone who’s in animation field, you can try to present your idea and art work to the teachers in art school. Most of teachers in my school are not professional educator but professional artist. Such as most teachers who is teaching animation may from the big film company. Some of them fly from LA to give us class everyweek.
I thought you may start from their if you go some good stuff. But if you really got some great stuff, be careful with who you deal with. We had sign the contract that all our works belong to school when we were. I have known there some teachers keep student’s idea become their own…

If you have the love and obviously talent you can!
Good animation takes countless time and effort.
Be consistant do not drift in to other things in that area
You can professionalize abything if you just keep on keeping on!

Goodluck, animation is good fun work
bringin life to a character is certainlya great feeling of giving birth.

what are and where are all the wolfquest extras?
on wolf quest 2, slough creek, there are human impacts along with some other hidden objects.
I would like to have a list of all of them, and if you can, a description of where they are.
also, I’d like to know all the exp points extras, what all of them are and how many exp points you need to obtain them.
any other info you can think of would be helpful too.

---

The prizes you can gain with exp are as follows:

Naming your puppies. (750 points)
Unlock the Slough Creek den, on the right side of the map underneath the slough creek. (25 000 exp points)
The strength of your territory marking ability increases.
Being able to have a white pup from a far back ancestor.

(With the last two the specific amount is not mentioned, but im guessing it would most probably be alot more than 25,000exp)

~

These are the pictures of all the extras put into the game (there not mine):

"bex665 wrote:
Using Jazzmans map I managed to find these.

Just to give everyone pics of the places from this map:

1: Sign: http://i48.tinypic.com/2hgtenr.jpg

2: FirePlace: http://i48.tinypic.com/2yxrcy8.jpg

3: Wheel: http://i49.tinypic.com/qn1c3t.jpg

8: DonerFace Rock: http://i46.tinypic.com/kapoug.jpg

9: Cattle Ranch: It didn’t allow me to take a screenshot of that."

OK so (all according to the map):

1) The sign is on the outskirts of the douglas fir slopes on the right hand side.
2) The fireplace is close to the wheel, but closer to the forest.
3) The wheel is on the outskirts (or a bit further) of the douglas fir slopes near the left hand side.
4) The boots are to the right of the words on the map saying canyon cliffs. Their in the bushes somewhere just beside the river.
5) The second fireplace is just above (up) little butte and the weird hooked shape river on the sand bank.
6) The footprints are above the words the sandbar crossing, at the small curve im between the end of the U shaped stream part and the stream going off NE. Their also on a sandbank.
7) The second pair of footprints are on the right side of the water curve at old OxBow, they are on the sandbank.
Im not exactly sure where the rock is, I havnt heard much of it, but im pretty sure its around the Aspen Heights den (sorry)
9) To find the cattle ranch just look on the mini map and find the fence, then run towards it. I dont know if its in a specific spot, I thought it might have been but then I got to it in a total different place.

~

Some other info I have includes how much experience points animals ect. gives you:

Hunting and killing hares. Each hare you kill gives you 10 points. (And a snack!)
Killing coyotes gives you 25 points.
Hunting and killing cow elk gets you 100 points.
Hunting and killing Bull elk gets 475 points.
Chasing off a Grizzly is very hard, so you’de probably get lots of points for that (but im not certain you do)

Chasing off stranger wolves depends on the wolf:

At Amethyst Mountain:
Specimen Male (Black) is worth 750 points once you chase it off.
Specimen Female is worth 750 points.
Specimen Male (Gray) is worth 700 points.

At Soda Butte Vista:
Driud Male is worth 1,200 points.
Druid Female is worth 1,114 points.

At Grassy Plains:
Slough Female is worth 650 points.
Slough Male (Black) is worth 650 points.
Slough Male (Brown) is worth 650 points.
Slough Male (Gray) is worth 650 points.
(PS. the lighter the colour, the easier to get rid off, Oh, and running away or killing the wolf gets you 0 points)

Hope this helped. =)

Ok there are several things you can find in wolfquest slough creek. First of all there is a pair of boots, they are located at the bottom of the left furthest elk hunting area in some bushes, they are pretty close to the water so if you walk past you should notice them.

There are two fire pits, one is near lone tree, if you travel directly left from the tree you will eventually get into elk hunting territory, the first sandy bank(its fairly big) you come accross (if you look at the map and read it as straight up as north then the bank should be on the south side of the river) should be where the fire pit is.

the second fire pit is located in the same area as the wooden wheel which right next to the douglas fir forest, if you look at the map ingame you should see the words douglas fir slopes, if you travel to the beginning of the word and travel up until you reach the edge of the forest you should come accross both the fire pit and wheel in that general area.

The first of the two footprint locations is on the right side of the old oxbow, its on the outside of the horse shoe shaped water way. the second one is located near the sand bar crossing, its on the left side of the river nearest to the right elk hunting area. if you start at the ‘U’ turn at the river and travel up the left part, you keep walking until you reach a turn in the river which starts heading North East and on the left side of the turn there should be some footprints.

Ther is a sign for a walking track on the edge of the douglas fir slopes, if you walk along the edge of the forest near the wolf territoy at the bottom right corner of the map it should be somewhere there.

there is a ranch in the game and can be accessed when you walk directly north from where is says slough creek on the map, youll be given an option some where in that area if you would like to visist the ranch.

There is a secret den site directly under the slough creek sign on the map and can only be accessed when you have over 25 000 experience points, and you can only name your pups once you reach 750 experience. The more experience points you get the better you can mark your territory and if you have a certain amount of experience points(no one knows how much exactly) you can get a white pup from distant ancestor wolf but getting it is purely chance.

the bad thing about having the secret territory is that it glitches a lot so if you are not planning to finish the whole game in one go without going out of the game or reloading the game then i wouldnt get that den place, some glitches include not being able to mark your territory and not seeing the territory marker thing at the bottom of the screen, your pups not staying at your den, your mate following around and never doing anything including help bring pups back and feeding them, and the weight of your pups do not change once you try to get their weight up for the last mission. Though it has lots of food close to the den i wouldnt choose it unless you really were going to finish the game in one go.

Follow this link to a picture of the map with place i have circled to have secret stuff etc.

http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt262 /Vampress8888/HELPMAP.png

Things circled in yellow are footprints, things circled in red are fire pits, the pink circled area is the walking track sign, the thing circled in light blue is the place with boots, the place circled in pruple is the wagon wheel, the den place crossed with red is the secret den area, the large area circled in dark blue is the area which you can access the ranch.

Sorry its so long lol =P

1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rinse the breasts in cold water, and place in baking dish. Splash with vermouth, then season with salt; set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine orange zest, orange juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, garlic and soy sauce. Season with mustard and caraway. Pour glaze over breasts in baking dish.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until no longer pink and juices run clear. Baste at least twice during baking.

Preheat a smoker for medium heat, about 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). If you do not have a smoker, prepare a grill for indirect heat. Once the coals are ready, throw a handful of the soaked hickory wood chips on to create smoke.
Place the goose breasts on the grate. Brush occasionally with the marinade for the first 30 minutes, then discard any unused marinade. Continue to cook until the juices run clear and reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 10 to 15 minutes longer.

Here’s one from a vintage French cookbook.

Oie a la Moutarde (Goose with Mustard)
———————————————————
Chop the goose liver with shallots, bay leaf, parsley, chives, thyme and basil (or as large a selection of fresh herbs as available); season, and use as part of your stuffing. Stuff the prepared goose, prick the skin all over with a fork and roast the bird on a rack in a roasting pan in a 350 degree oven for 20 mins. per pound. Spoon off the fat in the pan fro time to time during cooking.

Fifteen mins. before completion, transfer 2 tblsp. fat from the pan to a saucepan and set asside; pour off all remaining fat. Stir 1 heaping tbsp Dijon mustard into the pan juices and smear the goose thoroughly; sprinkle with soft bread crumbs and return to finish cooking. Turn up the heat to help brown it.

Stir one heaping tbsp. flour into the reserved fat to make a roux. Cook to slightly brown, then add 1-2 tbsp lemon juice, 1-2 tbsp Dijon mustard and 1 cup skimmed chicken stock. Use this sauce on the side.
Leann C | Oct 09, 2009

My take is that it might’ve been to your advantage to have "plucked" them as the skin acts as a great flavoring agent (high fat content = "self basting" helping it to prevent the bird from drying out during the roasting process. Well, no matter done is done and you’ll have wonderful geese on your table in no time.

What you can do is to try using the French technique known as a "Confit" (Pronounced: "con-fee"). It’s really great and well worth the efforts. Here’s a link to some background info & a recipe (item #2 in the Reference section: How to make confit…) Note that the recipe calls for 8 C. of rendered duck fat but you can use rendered goose fat. Both items can be found in gourmet grocery stores. And if all else fails, a good extra virgin olive oil can yield some good results in a pinch. Enjoy.

The "silver bullet" of budgets?
Listening to many Republicans, it seems as though the best way to fix our trillion plus budget deficit is to cut taxes. According to their reasoning, tax cuts enable private enterprise to grow at an accelerated rate by "getting government out of the way." In turn, the resultant increase in economic activity (on the supply-side, mostly) brings in higher tax revenues because growth is so much higher than before the tax cuts. In this way, they say, tax cuts pay for themselves while acting as economic stimulus.

Now, assuming Democrats want to be reelected, and assuming that plugging our nation’s budget holes will result in their reelection, why would they not take advantage of a silver bullet like this? If the theory is correct, they would increase the amount of revenues coming in, thus enabling them to spend more on government programs (the goal of liberalism, I’m told).

So what’s going on? I’d say that either the liberals are idiots, or that or they know this theory is yet another form of economic snake oil. Which do you think it is? I’m leaning towards the latter. Why would politicians wanting to stay in power not make use of every trick to get the economy fixed?

---

Liberals do not want to fix the economy. A weak economy leads to more dependence on government which leads to more power for liberals.

Cut taxes AND reduce spending.
Thedude27 | Jan 26, 2010

---

It’s often explained that when you cut taxes the economy takes off. It’s not entirely true, but it is true that relieving tax burden does create a better atmosphere for economic growth.

So you might think we could grow our economy such that our ability to pay down our debt gets better every year, but I’m pretty certain a wide range of economists have stated this is impossible.

"Now, assuming Democrats want to be reelected, and assuming that plugging our nation’s budget holes will result in their reelection, why would they not take advantage of a silver bullet like this?"

First assumption is a given, the second is not. You could claim "I balanced the budget" or "I paid down the deficit", but the truth is you get more political mileage by starting a new social program and claiming you’re helping the people. In order to achieve budget surpluses and paying down the debt, you’d have to cut a lot of social programs, which is political suicide for Democrats. Even Republicans don’t cut social programs, it is political suicide.

Conservative make that claim without checking the facts. Reagan cut taxes in 1981 and unemployment continue to raise. He raised taxes in 1982 and unemployment fail after wards. Please review link for more details.
