So, are you a pretty active person? You get up and run on a daily basis, running about two miles there and back again, and you always bring your water bottle around with you. The only problem? Your water tastes like putrid garbage. If you go home, and pour your water from the tap into a completely see through glass, you see little particles of things that you do not even want to know what they are. All you know is that they look nasty. Well, you...more

The Anglo Saxon considered a good sword to be light, strong and flexible; this can be explained by the fact that the Roman Britain was scarce of iron ore and faced with constant wars; the weapon smiths of the time came up with the technique known as pattern wielding, which was meant to enhance the flexibility and strength of their swords.Pattern wielding is simply the art of hammering then twisting and continued hammering of iron layers (mostly pieces of varied strength) while heating them in red hot charcoal which also increased flexibility of the sword due to the carbon factor. This technique may have resulted from the losses incurred in war as a result of brittle swords.Pattern welded swords show a distinctive interwoven figuring in the steel that imparted particular beauty and visual liveliness to the blade. Twisting, heating, and hammering drives the crystalline structure of the steel to form the wavy, watery pattern which the technique produces.Shaping and grinding the rough blade into finished shape reveals differing levels of the respective layers. Weapon-smiths further emphasized this figuring by acid etching. Some of the materials weapon-smiths had at their disposal for...more

Acting Classess- The Priveledge of Being an Actor Acting Classes-The Priveledge of Being an ActorThe overall goal of any acting class worth its weight, is to remind its participants that being an actor is a wonderful privilege. The best acting classes teach first and foremost, a deep understanding and respect for what it is to be human. Putting oneself into the shoes of another human being is not something to be taken lightly. From the most evil character to the most noble, exploring a character whether real or imagined, is holy ground. This is what every actor must learn again and again, and the best acting class will make every class, in the end, about this. Crafting has become a common phrase in acting classes today but, it is often misunderstood. Crafting is the mastery of the fundamentals of acting, studied in a rigorous way so that those fundamentals become second nature. The acting class should guide actors into listening fully, responding freely yet concentrating deeply in the proper way. While certainly not a simple craft, simplicity is the key to great acting. Achieving this simplicity costs a great deal but, those that pay the price will find themselves acting...more
