30 SepWindow Cleaning Tips and Tools From a Window Cleaner Number 11, Part 1

When doing a big residential window cleaning job, there is a certain order of operations that I follow. When I say a big job, I mean just that, a 5,000 to 20,000 square foot home. We sometimes call these homes multimillion dollar homes.

The point is they are big and everything in the home is usually worth alot of money. Take it from me- You don’t want to have to replace items because of someone breaking something. Usually the bigger jobs do need to be well supervised. You need to be ready to be able to take your time and allow your crew plenty of time. Otherwise, something could get damaged of broken.

Using de-ionized water fed poles will help eliminate some time and work for the outside of the home. The only down side to water fed poles is they cannot be used in the inside of the home. Screens can sometimes be taken off from the inside of the home, but in some cases they come off from the outside and this means they will have to be accessed by ladders.

If the home has tinting on the windows, the tinting must be inspected for bubbles.

You have to inspect for bubbles in the tinting because these areas are damaged and the tinting can be pulled away from the window during the process of cleaning, causing further damage to the tinting. These types of windows have to be cleaned by hand with a micro fiber cloth.

24 JunTips on Proper Coupon Usage

Tip Number 1: Read the fine print. You should always read your manufacturers coupons carefully because there might be some details there that you might otherwise have missed. For example, some coupons may have expiration dates, and when that day arrives, you can no longer use those coupons. Thus, you need to take note of these dates; otherwise, a time might come when you go to the grocery store and then you suddenly find out that you can not use your coupon anymore. This scenario might be a little bit embarrassing, especially if it is the cashier who will point it out to you.

Some of your manufacturers coupons might also require you to buy something else before you make use of the coupon. For example, before you can get a off from a bottle of shampoo, you would need to buy their one of their soaps first. Another scenario might be that your manufacturers coupon says that you can get a discount when you eat at a certain restaurant, but then, it also says that provided you consume and pay for at least worth of food.
 
If you do not normally eat at that restaurant or you are not really interested in it, do not force yourself to eat there just because you can get off. The same goes for the first scenario. If you do not really use the soap that the coupon is requiring you to buy, then do not buy one just for the sake of being able to use your coupon.
 
Tip Number 2: Do not buy a product that you are not going to use. Even if your printable manufacturers coupons is offering a huge discount, do not buy the product if you know for a fact that you have no need for it, or that you will most likely not be using it anyway. Just because you have a coupon does not mean that you should always have to purchase the product that your coupon is offering to you. Otherwise, you might just be wasting money instead of saving.
 
Tip Number 3: Compare all costs and savings. When using your printable manufacturers coupons, you should make sure that you will really be able to save money. For example, if the printable manufacturers coupons require you to go to a certain place for you to be able to avail of your coupon’s discount, do not go if it is out of the way and if your cost of going there would be even more than the discount that you would be getting from the coupon. In effect, you are not really getting a discount at all because you are still paying for it in other ways, like for your gas.

18 MayWeb Hosting Guide – How to Use FTP



There are 2 most common way how can web hosting customers upload their websites to the server. Beginners use very often online file manager because it is very easy solution for them. They don’t need to set up any connection to the server. They only need to know their user name and password to log in the control panel. More experienced users prefer FTP connection – using this way require some knowledge about the connection setup. But when this step is done then uploading files using this method is many times quicker and more comfortable. In this article I am going to explain step by step how to use the FTP.

FTP means File Transfer Protocol. To connect to your web hosting account using FTP you will need to download and install some of many FTP managers. Personally, I recommend to use Total Commander. The first reason why I recommend this software is the fact that there is a big chance you have already this program in your computer. Total Commander is not only FTP manager but also file manager like Windows Explorer. But comparing with Windows Explorer it is more user friendly. Total Commander 30 days trial can be downloaded for free. After 30 days it will continue to work without any restrictions but regarding the license you should buy it if you are going to use it after one month. If you decide to use another file manager the next steps will be not exactly same but if you will understand the principles you should be able to use any FTP software of your choice.

So, when you installed Total Commander double-click its icon on the desktop. You will see the dialog asking you to press a number (1, 2 or 3). Click the correct number and you will be able to start using the program. In the next step we will setup the connection to your web hosting account. You will see a few icons in the top. Click the FTP icon and on the right menu click New Connection. The first row is called Session. You can fill in this field anything you want – it will be the name of your FTP connection. If you will create more connections the session name will help you to orientate yourself.

To fill in next 3 lines you will need to log in you web hosting control panel. There should be a link called like FTP accounts or FTP access. Under this link you will find the values for host name, user name and password. It is also possible that you will need to create the FTP account first.

The next fields are optional and you will probably not need deal with them. Only using Remote Dir field may be useful time from time because you can save your time by using it. If your files are stored e. g. at public_html folder, fill in public_html there and anytime you will connect to your server you will jump instantly to this folder instead of the root. It is also recommended to check the Use passive mode for transfers like a WWW browser.

Now click OK button and connect to your web server by double-clicking the connection name you have created. Now you can work with files stored in your web hosting storage in the same way how you work with files in your hard drives. Your storage will appear as another drive. Use F5 to upload or download files and F8 to delete them.

05 MarOnline Animation School Animation Mentor

AA: Where did your love of animation come from and how old were you when you decided you wanted to become an animator?

BB: My love for animation came from my passion for exciting special effects movies like Star Wars. When I was young my mom used to take me out of school when a cool new movie was coming out so we could be the first to see it. 3D Models That really helped create a “special magic” around movies for me from an early age.

When I decided I wanted to be an animator I was 23 years old. AA: You attended the Academy of Art College now the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, can you tell us about your experience at the Academy?

BB: I did not learn much about animation when I was there; mostly I read books on animation and tried to make sense of it all.

I was only there for about a-year-and-a-half. What I did find there was some of my best friends on the planet and my number 1 best friend and partner, my wife! I’ve heard the program has improved since I attended back in the mid 90′s.

AA: If you could do it all over again is there anything you would change about your experience in art school?

BB: As far as the friends go I’d say no. If I had to do it all over again I think I would have like to have found a mentor in the industry who could have taught me the art and craft of animation so that I would learn exactly the things I needed to become a successful animator.

AA: How important is it for aspiring animators to attend College/Art School? Do formally trained animators have an advantage over self taught animators?

BB: Absolutely not. A recruiter at one of the large studios told me, “If someone graduates from a 4 year college something must be wrong. If they are a great animator they should be plucked out before they ever finish.” I know that may not be a popular belief, but it is one that I’ve always believed in. This industry measures people on two things:

1. skill and…
2. personality

People are learning animation faster than ever. There are so many resources out there to look at, read from and be inspired by that it’s not uncommon for students to “get it” quicker these days.

AA: How did you get your first paying job as an animator and how old were you?

BB: I was 24 when I got my first animation job. My first animation job was at a game studio in San Francisco.

I had put all my little animation tests onto a VHS tape, I guess you could call it a demo reel, but I didn’t plan on sending it out. My girlfriend (now my wife) gave the tape to her friend who worked for a game studio looking for an animator.

You can imagine the shock/excitement when I got the call that they wanted to interview me. The interview went very well and I was lucky enough to get the job. I was so thrilled and gave many hugs to my sweet girl for helping me get my start in the industry. The timing was perfect and it was exactly what I needed at that time.

AA: Did art school fully prepare you for your first job as an animator or did you experience a lot of growing pains?

BB: My schooling experience did not prepare me for the industry in any way. I think most art schools do not. Usually you turn in your work, you get a grade and that is that. In the industry if the director doesn’t like something they will tell you to start over, and over until you get it right, or worse, they’ll take it away and give it to someone else.

I remember sitting in dailies, where your work is shown to the team in a screening room for review each morning at Tippett Studio when Phil Tippett stood up in front of the whole crew and confronted me about the shot I was working on and said, “What the F@$ k were you thinking?!” Phil had given me specific direction before I started my shot and I had “a better idea” and did my own thing. He reamed me in front of the entire team teaching me a valuable lesson the hard way: “Your director is #1 and you must always listen to them first.”

In art school I did not learn that at all. The industry is both tough and fun. When you nail a shot it feels like the greatest thing, when you struggle you question your ability, always.

Also, I did not learn about getting and giving feedback. Feedback is such a critical component of this industry. You have to do away with being a perfectionist and your ego and know that your work will change many times before it is completed. Not even the best animators get it right the first time.

AA: You’ve worked for two of the companies that many aspiring animators consider The Holy Grail of animation studios Disney and Pixar, can you tell us how you landed a job at both Disney and Pixar?

BB: Disney happened by “accident.” I was working at Tippett Studio when my girlfriend (now wife) got her first job in animation in LA. I was in the San Francisco Bay Area and she was going to Los Angeles. I was super supportive and was excited for her opportunity. We flew back and forth every-other weekend for several months. At one point I felt we were beginning to drift apart and I knew I loved this girl and wanted to be with her for the rest of my life. So, I went to work one day and told Phil Tippett that I had to leave. I was going to LA to be with my girl. Phil put his hands around my neck and pretended to strangle me. We were in between projects so the timing was perfect. He told me that when I got to LA that I would have an interview with Disney! He made some calls and made it happen for me. When I got to LA I got the job and was super happy!

The project I was on at Disney (Dinosaur) was coming to an end and so was my girlfriend’s project. We decided that after we rolled off our projects that we’d move back to the Bay Area to be with our friends and my family. I put my reel together and sent it to several studios. Pixar gave me a call and I went for the interview and got the job as an animator on Toy Story 2! It was a dream come true.

AA: What do animation studios look for when hiring an animator?

BB: First and foremost they look for a solid demo reel that shows them you are capable of doing the job at hand. If you are applying to be an animator at a place like Pixar, DreamWorks, Sony, Blue Sky, etc. they care very little about your ability to model, texture, light etc.3D Models They want you to be an “expert” at making characters act convincingly. That’s what you would do on the job and that’s what they care about. Your reel should be full of pieces that show characters acting in situations that communicate the emotions, acting and beats clearly. If it fails to do this they will pass. If it does this to a level that “catches their eye” you’ve made it to the next phase.

The next phase is usually the interview. This is almost as important, if not more, than your actual demo reel. If they like you and get a good feeling for you as a person then your chances of getting hired are pretty good.

Here are some of my tips for interviews. Do not be overtly confident. This can often be perceived the wrong way. Explain how you are looking to improve yourself and your abilities. Be respectful and know the work they’ve done and research the company so that you know intimate details in case they ask. Also, do not be the “ultimate animator geek” who watches Disney movies all day and night.3D Models I’ve seen studios pass on candidates whose only thing in life wa
