Frequently Asked Questions
How do you make these?
The 3D stuff (with shadows and such) was created using the excellent, free raytracer POV-Ray.
The rest were created using a custom-made PHP library that uses GD for graphics. The library adds a whole lot of functionality that isn't present in GD or PHP: drawing anything with alpha blending, geometry and math primitives, 2D and 3D rotations (including quaternions), better anti-aliasing, object-oriented interface, etc.
Wait, what? PHP?!
Yes. I'm aware it is not what you'd expect. I just haven't found a better system for this yet given the circumstances. PHP just kinda works out of the box, and I managed to find my way around GD's limitations.
I've looked elsewhere (Python, Processing, C++, etc.). They always failed me on some important aspect, or I failed to get things working due to some stupid limitation.
For instance, Python with PIL is very limited and low-level. I'd have to rewrite all the features I need, starting from an even more basic level than I did with GD. I'd rather move to something that won't require me a lot of work to get to the feature set I currently have on PHP. Cairo isn't bitmap-based so it invalidates some of my rendering tricks. I'm still trying to get some version of ImageMagick to work for me, but people seem to be mostly interested in image processing, not drawing. So those features are missing in several ImageMagick libraries.
Processing is too focused on real-time. I need the liberty of taking as long as I need to render a frame and dumping it into a PNG. C++ has a few great libraries, but developing C++ under Windows is horrible. I'm not going to bother with it.
Sadly, I'm a bit stuck with my current software and hardware for the time being, but I'll keep on looking for alternatives. I hope I find something soon.
Can't you just use some existing math software, like matplotlib?
These don't give me the artistic freedom I want. For example, most existing software renders 3D surfaces as triangle meshes. When these are partially transparent, different layers tend to mix in visually ambiguous ways. I try to avoid this sort of thing.
I'm better off with a raw drawing API. I know how to get around with some bare bones drawing tools, and I can have total control.
Can you release the source code?
I release the source for all the complicated POV-Ray animations.
As for the rest, things are a little bit trickier. For one, the animations are created using a custom library that's ever changing, so compatibility is often broken with time. While I am trying to publish the library sometime in the future, I'm not terribly enthusiastic about it because I'm probably the only person who would use such a thing for PHP.
Additionally, my code renders a series of PNG frames that need to be assembled and timed, and text must be added on top of it, etc. I use several different programs to achieve all of that.
This is because dealing with typography using code just doesn't work. Also, the GIF support of most software is horrible, and the color optimization is pathetic at best. I go through a lot of hoops to ensure the highest quality possible on the GIF files. It's hard work, but it pays off to have smaller files and super crisp images.
Can you make an animation about [some topic]?
Maybe. I'm always looking for cool ideas and topics.
Send me a request through my Wikipedia talk page or through the tumblr form. I cannot guarantee I'll be able to make the animation, due to time, complexity and knowledge constraints. But I will think about it.

An accident involving my son Jake, the morning paper, a precariously placed glass of orange juice, a cereal bowl and a mad rush to get to school on time rather than clean up the mess led to the discovery of the very cool fact that wet newspaper, when molded over something (like a bowl), retains that form after it dries. It sparked us to try a slightly more controlled experiment with water and newspaper, which in turn led to some fairly radical (and less sticky) headgear.
A bowl that fits on your child's head
10 sheets of newspaper (in this case, one sheet equals just the left or right side; you don't need the big square spread)
Paint (tempera paint works well)
2 paper cups
Construction paper
Glue stick
1. Turn the bowl upside down on the table. Wet one sheet of newspaper in the sink, making sure it gets soaked. Lay it over the bowl and press down firmly along the edges. Then repeat the procedure with seven more sheets, alternating the direction of the paper each time you lay down a sheet over the bowl. Let it dry overnight. In the morning, you can lift off the newspaper, and it will retain the shape of the bowl.
2. Use scissors to trim the edge of the newspaper into points. Don't trim points into the front; this part will become the dragon's snout.
3. Fold the points to the inside of the hat and tape. To make the snout, roll the brim to the outside and tape it to the front of the hat (use loops of tape so it won't show).
4. Paint the entire hat green (or whatever color you like).
5. Accessorize. Here are some key body parts we added--but why limit yourself? Use the same basic bowl shape with different decorations to create a lion, a cat, a dog, a unicorn, you name it.
EYES: Cut the top inch or so (depending on how much you want the eyes to bulge!) off a paper cup. Cut tabs and fold them back. Repeat on the second cup. Paint the cups green. When dry, glue construction paper circles (eyeballs) to the cups and glue the eyes onto the hat using the tabs.
TAIL: Fold a double layer of newspaper (the last two sheets) into a long, triangular shape. Paint it green and let dry. Attach it to the inside back of the hat with tape so that the point runs down your child's back.
SPIKES: Each spike is made from two triangles of construction paper glued together. Leave the bottom unglued and fold back so that they'll attach easily to the hat.
TEETH AND TONGUE: Cut teeth and tongue from construction paper. Curl the tongue around a pencil before attaching it to the inside of the hat with tape.

Lancaster University invests in Imagination
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Lancaster University has invested in a major new creative research lab which will drive interdisciplinary research to explore places, products and systems for the future.
The £2.5m Laboratory called Imagination@Lancaster was officially launched on 24 October at the Design Museum in London. Speakers included Lord Triesman , Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills, the Chairman of SONYBMG UK and Ireland Ged Doherty, Tony Cann CBE from the Bowland Charitable Trust and Wayne Hemingway MBE, fashion designer, co-founder of company Red or Dead and Chairman of Building for Life, a CABE (Commission for Architecture and The Built Environment) funded organization that promotes excellence in the quality of design of new housing.
A new team of eight academics have joined Lancaster University to take this major project forward. The team has expertise that ranges from industrial design and new technologies to service design and urban environments that fuses art and science. This lab is led by professors of design Rachel Cooper and Stuart Walker.
Professor Walker says: "New ways of doing things are emerging - with communication technologies people are connecting up, sharing ideas, breaking down conventional hierarchies and power systems and collaborating in new ways that foster the emergence of new ideas based on interdisciplinary perspectives- and this is precisely what Imagination@Lancaster is all about."
Imagination@Lancaster will build on internal links across the university, including InfoLab21 on emergent technologies in product development and the built environment, and the Lancaster Environment Centre on sustainable design, the Management School on design in organisations.
The lab will use creative thinking and design skills and work with other universities, industry, public and NGOs to develop new creative approaches to living and working environments, how we interact and travel, the objects we use,and even the clothes we wear.
Professor Cooper said: "The conception, production, management and use of our 'material world' increasingly relies on the convergence of science, technology, social sciences, arts and humanities.
"Nanotechnology, intelligent materials, ambient, mobile, ubiquitous and visualisation technologies all provide new opportunities new concerns for how we develop our world."
"To create this material world we must have the visualisation and creative skills to access and combine the technologies, but also an understanding of the interrelated social, economic, and environmental factors, as well as insights into the production, management and historical contexts."

The eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 have reopened at 43rd Avenue after a man fleeing law enforcement on foot was hit by a car.
The extent of the man's injuries is not known.
All traffic was detoured off the freeway at 43rd Avenue at around 3:30 p.m., the Arizona Department of Transportation said.
The victim had been pulled over a short time earlier in a DPS-initiated traffic stop. The officer saw what was described as "a criminal element" in the vehicle. That's when the man took off running.

Todd Gardenhire, left, and Andraé McGary are seeking the 10th District Senate seat.Photo by Staff File Photo /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
In the second debate between state Senate Democratic nominee Andraé McGary and his Republican opponent Todd Gardenhire, the men highlighted their differences in fixing failing schools and creating more local jobs.
To a small group of locals at the Cleveland State Community College, Gardenhire argued in favor of school vouchers Monday night, saying parents need to be empowered to pull their kids out of a failing school and move them somewhere else.
"We have basically a voucher system with [higher education] grants, students get and they can chose any college they want to go to," he said. "If it works for higher education, why can't it work for lower education?"
But McGary, who is a Chattanooga city councilman for District 8, said while he pulled his own daughter out of a failing school and put her in a private school, he is against school vouchers and wants to see more money put into the current system.
"We recognize choice is very important here," he said. "But ultimately I'm not for a voucher system because I believe it short-skirts the issue, and the issue is we have to fund education."
Gardenhire and McGary are campaigning to represent Senate District 10, which includes portions of Bradley and Hamilton counties.
State Sen. Andy Berke, D-Chattanooga, isn't seeking re-election so he can run for Chattanooga mayor.
Both men also disagreed on how to bring more jobs to the area, McGary arguing local leaders need to work together to bring business to the region and not think of what only benefits a specific county.
Gardenhire debated how he believes the real question isn't jobs but "careers, careers, careers."
He argued the state needs to partner with local community colleges to train young people for local jobs so businesses will hire locally and not bring in qualified employees from other states.
But McGary argued several times in the debate that Gardenhire's answers weren't based in reality.
He corrected Gardenhire, saying bringing large companies to the region is overall beneficial.
Gardenhire also threw jabs at the councilman for opposing the latest gun legislation that would allow employees to leave their guns in their vehicles at work.
McGary argued that he is against the bill because it takes the rights of the employer away, and he also accused the National Rifle Association of going too far in their lobbying at the capitol.
"The NRA has raged war against our legislatures," he said.
Gardenhire snapped back that every law abiding citizen should have the right to tote their weapon to work if they please.

10 Clever Ideas for Mason Jars
We've all seen lots of uses for mason jars, and most of us have at least one set. Just because we can't have enough ways to repurpose these little guys, here's a list of 10 more original and creative uses for the ubiquitous jars.
1. DIY Chalkboard Jars, Wit and Whistle.
2. BNTO Canning Jar Lunchbox Adaptor, $8.99, Cuppow.
3. Pour Over Coffee Attachment, $32, Kickstarter.
4. Mason Jar Speaker, $65, Trashamps.
5. Mason Jar Hanger, $25, Kickstarter.
6. Wooden Mounted Wall Caddy, $74, UncommonGoods.
7. DIY Lids, Gina Michele.
8. French Press, $125, CrowdSupply.
9. Sharpener Jar, $30, Ckie.
10. DIY Floating Candle in a Jar, Nest of Posies.
And, for color lovers, they also come in blue!

Also excellent are lightning jars: old-style canning jars with glass tops and bail-wire handles that clamp down. They make good canisters for dry beans, rice, etc. and can be found in country yard sales and junk shops.
The DIY chalkboard jars and photo are actually from Wit and Whistle... I realize The Drifter and Gypsy mentions that in her blog, but it just seems like the credit should go to the original maker.
Here is another great Mason jar idea:
Mason jars are great for pantry storage, yes, but their two-part lids are not. The lid may forma light seal that makes it hard to remove, and the band is an extra component to fiddle with.
I buy aftermarket plastic or metal one-year lids which are so much easier to use.
Incidentally, the green lid from the parmesan cheese jar fits a Mason jar if you want a sprinkle/pour lid.
Hi Jeoffry...you can still buy these types of jars with teh glass tops and bail-wire handles. Ikea has a form of them as well as Marshalls, Ross and Target. (I'm in California-Marshalls and Ross are discount stores.)
What are "one-year lids?"
Cool on the lunchbox adaptor.
At least two of the items listed are not available.
These are so cool! I love the lunchbox adaptor!
a ceramic dripper will fit over a mason jar without any trouble, for coffee.
love the candle idea!
Whenever you guys post product, I do a search for the product on Amazon because most likely Amazon sells it. If you look up the CANNING JAR LUNCHBOX the majority of the reviews for this product are negative. It's just a cheap piece of plastic. Same goes with the doggie blanket you all posted a few days ago. Before buying these products, we should all find out if others who've bought and actually used the product think. I mean that insert is really just a piece of cheap plastic that costs almost $10.

In The Hobbit, how does Bilbo's character change from the beginning of the book to the end?
2 Answers | Add Yours
Three ways that Bilbo Baggins changes from the beginning of The Hobbit to the end of the book are his understanding of the world around him, his sense of adventure, and his desire to live a comfortable life without thought for others.
At the beginning of the book, Bilbo cares nothing for he world outside of the Shire or outside of his small hobbit home. But by the end of the book, his eyes have been opened to the world outside of the Shire, and he has an understanding of different parts of the world as well as different people (elves, dwarves, dragons, to name a few) in the world.
Also, his sense of adventure grows throughout the book. At the beginning, Gandalf pretty much has to trick Bilbo into going on this adventure, but by the end of the book, Bilbo is much more courageous and willing adventure out on his own, as evidenced by his willingness to confront Smaug.
Finally, although Bilbo is a hobbit who will always love his hobbit hole and his six meals a day, he has learned how to make sacrifices and how to live without these comforts if he must. He even puts himself in danger when rescuing the dwarves from the Spiders and the Wood Elves and sacrifices his own comfort to ensure their safety.
Throughout Bilbo's adventure he goes from being unheroic to couragous,fierce,confident and heroic, example when he fight off the Great Spider to save his friends (dwarfs) he names the sword he uses to fend off the Spider "Sting" and he says that he himself feels more confident and fierce, from there he just progress to become stronger and at the end Gandalf says to Bilbo,"Something is the matter with you! You are not the hobbit that you were." from that you can tell that Gandalf has seen the changes,most of the changes come from the ways he saves everyone and it also starts when he finds the ring because in in beggining he doesn't want to be an adventurer just to stay at home but at the end he's (Bilbo) glad he did stay and do this treasure hunting adventure.

- Tales of Innocence R 2 is out in demo form as of just a short while ago, on the PSN store for the Vita. I'm kinda caught off-guard by this but we do need to start working on resource pages related to this -new- game (fuck you Namcot for this unending Tales Cycle). Give it a couple of days before starting any comprehensive arte lists, unless someone on the TSF gets to it first.

Focus on Food Security
Since 2007, we've conducted focus groups with hundreds of food bank clients in different communities across Washington and shared their stories with our coalitions, legislators and others who help fight hunger through policy work. Our annual focus group reports seek to amplify the voices of those we serve.
Clients join our facilitators for conversation about their experiences of hunger and securing enough food to feed themselves and their families. In each community, the value of people talking together about their common struggles is evident. Participants learn from each other and share information about community resources.
We learn a great deal from clients and hope you will also learn from their first-hand experiences through our focus group reports. The latest report was released in January 2014. We will share the results with our coalitions, legislators and others who can help fight hunger through policy work.

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is probably the most anticipated update to Google's mobile operating system yet, and all this excitement has put considerable pressure on manufacturers to get the new version out as quickly as possible.
It was back in November last year that Sony – then Sony Ericsson – announced its entire current Xperia range would be upgraded, but didn't say exactly when it would do so, leaving us all hoping for an early-2012 release.
As is obviously the case, this wasn't to be, but just before the weekend, Sony decided to update us about the update, providing reassurance that yes, it's still on its way.
Owners of the Xperia Arc S, Xperia Neo V and the Xperia Ray are first on Sony's list of priorities, and these phones will be seeing Ice Cream Sandwich from mid-April onwards, with the rollout taking between four and six weeks.
Next up, it's the turn of the Xperia Play, Xperia Arc, Xperia Neo, Xperia Active, Xperia Mini/Mini Pro and the Live with Walkman phones. Android 4.0 will start appearing from the end of May/beginning of June. Finally, the Xperia S will also be upgraded around the same time.
Sony has also warned that ICS won't be an over-the-air update, and will require your phone to be connected to your computer to install the new OS.
This gives us a couple of weeks to go before the first set of updates go live, but Sony do warn that the delivery time will vary depending on location and 'carrier requirements,' meaning that although they've quoted approximate dates, take them as being extremely approximate.

In all fairness Zim did beat India before they downed SA, but given that SA had already qualified and what we know now the latter sticks in the throat a little.
In all fairness Zim did beat India before they downed SA, but given that SA had already qualified and what we know now the latter sticks in the throat a little.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"as much a news event as an actual footballer, a worthy stop-start centre forward, but an all-time hyper-galactico when it comes to doing funny things with cars and hats, a player whose signing proves once again that the Premier League is still undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to doing things with cars and hats."
- Barney Ronay on Mario Balotelli
Rooting for South Africa here. Like I've said several times already, no-one from the other group should have an easy game in the quarters.
Bangladesh have won 10 out of the last 13 ODI at home, not exactly a bad record.
I really want Bangladesh to win, but it's soured a bit by being a dead rubber for SA.
Personally I would much prefer to see Australia play Bangladesh in the quarters than the West Indies or New Zealand. Obviously they're a decent team at home and capable of a big performance on their day but they have been thoroughly average for most of the WC and are much more likely to just capitulate into a huge loss.
In terms of capability they are a significant challenge but they're by far the most unreliable of all the test nations.
I know a place where a royal flush
Can never beat a pair
Amla is such a gun. The ease at which he plays. No power, just pure timing and still scoring more than run a ball. What a player.!!
this is pretty dire from Bangladesh so far, no intensity, their body language seems to say they think it's over for them, need a wicket then another one, then another one
It was funny to hear Athar Ali khan cribbing about the wicket on commentary. Apparently he wanted a slow and low wicket. This is a WC match, FFS.
They have no plan B. South Africa knew it would be 40 overs of spin and have played it well so far. Target the quicks and just take it easy against the spinners, lay down 250+, game over.
Shakib may have to bowl a lot of overs in a row here. They need a wicket pretty badly. Should have kept Shafiul on, goes for a few but can always buy a wicket.

For you parents of students, with the end of the school year approaching, it can be a tough time to keep your child focused on school. An Atlanta high school teacher says she knows how to keep our kids on track.
Franchesca Lane-Warren teaches English at South Atlanta High School. She says towards the end of the school year, students try to check out early. Warren says to keep your child's interest you need to keep them engaged."Discuss what's happening on the news. Read something together, and ask them what do you think about it. So reading is fundamental for a child's success," said Warren.Reading with your child every night not only supports their academic success, it gives you an indication of their comprehension level. For a more specific picture of the progress, Warren says have a clear line communication with your children's teachers."Parents need to make sure that they are in contact with their child's teacher. That just means a simple phone call or an email, stopping by the school. Just to let them know that you're available and you are there to help your child," Warren said.Though the end of the year is fast approaching, it's not too late. Warren says now is a good time to have a frank conversation about what your child must to do to pass or catch up. Teachers mean the world to a child's success, but parents mean more."And I think when we understand that, kids will be a lot more successful, because every child wants their parent to care about school," said Warren.
A long-time educator, Warren has written a book for teachers on avoiding burnout. For more information, click here!

Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC) Studentships 2011-12
17 February 2011
Having won a coveted place in the national network of training centres accredited by the ESRC, the Wales Doctoral Training Centre (Wales-DTC) is awarding a number of ESRC-funded postgraduate research studentships to support doctoral research and training in the social sciences at the Cardiff School of Social Sciences.
Cardiff School of Social Sciences has an international reputation for its research in the areas of:
- Crime and Justice;
- Culture and Identities;
- Health and Social Welfare;
- Innovations in Social Research;
- Knowledge, Science and Technology;
- Work, Education and Globalisation.
We expect to have approximately 13 ESRC funded PhD Studentships available for the 2011/12 academic year and welcome applications in these subject areas: Criminology, Education, Science and Technology Studies, Social Policy, Social Work and Social Care, and Sociology.
The School also welcomes Interdisciplinary applications and Advanced Quantitative Methods applications.
Awards are available on either a 1+3 or +3 basis. A 1+3 studentship provides funding for four years, completing the Msc in Social Science Research Methods in the 1st year, followed by 3 years funding for a PhD. A +3 studentship provides funding for the three years only, and assumes that the applicant will already have had research training from an ESRC Research Training recognised MSc degree (please see ESRC guidance on this).
Studentships will commence in September 2011 and will cover your tuition fees as well as a maintenance grant and an additional Research Training Support Grant (RTSG) for three years for full-time students. In 2010-11 the maintenance grant for full-time students was £13,590 and the RTSG was £750, but the award levels for 2011-12 have yet to be published by the ESRC.
ESRC studentships are available from the Wales DTC for UK and EU students who meet residency requirements set out by the ESRC. Please consult the ESRC Postgraduate Funding Guide for full details on residential eligibility requirements.
ESRC studentship funding is highly competitive. In view of the limited number of awards and the very high standard of applications received, successful applicants are likely to have a very good first degree (a first or upper second class BA or BSc Honours or equivalent), and/or an appropriate Masters degree (with an average mark of at least 65).
How to Apply
pplicants must complete and submit the following documentation by the deadline of 12.00pm, 25th March 2011. Note that the deadline is absolute and applications received after this specified time and date will not be accepted.
- A completed application form for admission to doctoral study in the School of Social Sciences – submitted to the Academic Registry via the online admissions portal: http://cf.ac.uk/regis/general/applyonline/index.html.(Please make an application to the PhD in Social Sciences regardless of whether you are applying for a 1+3 or +3 studentship)
- Academic References – all admissions applications require two references to be submitted in support. Please ensure that your chosen referees are aware of the funding deadline, as we will be using these to help us evaluate your ESRC studentship application.
- Academic Transcripts – where applicable, academic transcripts must be submitted with the online admissions application by the funding deadline. We will be using these to verify your academic qualifications.
- Wales DTC ESRC Doctoral Studentship extended proposal form – applicants must submit a copy of this form which is available here as an emailed attachment to email@example.com by the deadline above.
We recommend that applicants approach academic staff to be potential supervisors before submitting their application (research profiles can be found on the School's website under the various Research Themes). If you have not secured a supervisor then this can be done by the Graduate Office during the initial vetting process.
If you have any queries or concerns about the ESRC studentship application process, they should be directed to Vicky Parkin at email@example.com
How Applications will be Assessed
Applications will first be assessed against the School's PhD admissions criteria. Successful candidates will then be put forward to the School's ESRC assessment panel which is made up of senior academic staff drawn from across the School. Further details of this will be forwarded to applicants after they have submitted their application form.
Applications will be allocated to an appropriate research theme supported by the Wales-DTC in the broad areas of Sociology, Social Policy, Criminology, Social Work and Social Care, Education, and Science and Technology Studies. The panel will make collective academic judgements of quality based on:
i) evidence of the candidate's research potential, as provided by academic references; academic transcripts, degree results, and other credentials such as prizes, academic awards; and, where applicable, professional qualifications and/or relevant experience;
ii) the quality and impact of the proposed doctoral research;
iii) relevance in regard to the School's research themes.
Selection panel recommendations will be ratified by the Wales-DTC, and its judgements are final.
We anticipate that the selection process will be completed by early to mid May. Applicants will then be notified if their studentship application has been successful, or if they have been placed on a waiting list or rejected. Successful applicants will be asked to provide a letter of acceptance or decline by a given deadline. If a successful candidate fails to respond by the deadline or declines the offer, their award will automatically be transferred to the reserve candidate who is next on the list.

It was not dancing shoes that caught attention at the Coaches Versus Cancer "Basket-ball," it was the tennis shoes.
Notre Dame Men's basketball coach Mike Brey and his wife Tish hosted the second annual banquet Saturday night.
ESPN radio host Mike Golic served as the MC at the Palais Royale in downtown South Bend.
Since 2000, the Brey's have helped raise close to a million dollars for Coaches Versus Cancer.

The latest episode of the famous Jay Leno Garage show brings another cool model to the front page, a 570 horsepower supercharged Dodge Challenger SRT8 specially developed by Hurst Performance Vehicles. Along with Jay Leno, you will see Ron Flint, president of Hurt Performance Vehicles, who is offering a few more details on this amazing car.
Hurst equipped a standard Dodge Challenger SRT8 with a Vortec supercharger that increases the car's power up to 570 horsepower and 525 pound-feet of torque, a huge increase from the standard 425 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque.
Along with the engine upgrade, the Challenger has also received a set of Hurst gold and chrome alloy wheels and an Eibach coilover suspension setup. Hurst is only offering two exterior color combinations: white and gold — the one reviewed by Jay Leno — or black and gold.
Watch the video and let us know what you think about this amazing Hurst Challenger .

It's been some time since we talked about Oscar Klefbom, but there's a little news on the Oilers defense prospect today.
Klefbom has a "damaged joint capsule in the shaft" when we run this article through google translate and it sounds like we're looking at the end of the month for return:
- In exactly two weeks, it is thought that he will be back in the normal exercise again.
He trains with the puck on his own before going on the ice. November 21 is the date for him but it will take probably until the end of the month before he's back feeling and the timing, explains the club's training Leif Carlsson. He's currently working on getting up flåset again using the skating and cycle.
The Oilers prospect blue has been hit hard with injuries again this season:
- Oscar Klefbom: shoulder.
- Martin Gernat: shoulder surgery.
- Alex Plante: suspected issues from concussions (based on performance)
- Brandon Davidson: cancer.
- Kyle Bigos: lower body injury.
Since 2009, the Oilers have drafted 11 defensemen, and 4 of them (all but Plante) have been derailed in one way or another this season. I remain convinced that another of the 11–Jeremie Blain–should have been signed in the summer.
Defensemen get injured, and some of those injuries end possible NHL careers. The Oilers went to all the trouble of drafting Blain, he covered the bet, and they should have signed him.

This little beauty was just linked to us:
To the Olympics 2012 committee,
We wish for you to consider David Tennant as the official Lighter of the Olympic Flame. David portrays the Tenth Doctor on Doctor Who, a programme which has been part of our national consciousness for almost half a century and of which it can be said, captures the heart of being British more than an other piece of popular culture on television today.
David, as the Doctor, was seen lighting the Flame in an episode called Fear Her which featured the 2012 Olympics. We feel it would be entirely appropriate for him to be given this honour for real.
Awww <3 Jawn Pooh <3<3<3
((Doctor Who ref I never got as a kid. ))
it all makes sense now

Things I didn't notice before.
Sketch I've been working on for an hour or so.
Everything's probably messed up and there's probably a lot of mistakes in it, but I'm posting it anyways.EDIT: What I meant to say is, if you want me to, I can finish this.
YOU SHOULD FINISH IT! The poses look in very in character (broody-John haha) - perhaps you can just adjust the heights of Moran and Jim a bit to match Sherlock and John's. BUT IT LOOKS FANTASTIC. GO ON - CONFIDENCEEEEE!
Well that's the sketch done 8D
Will most likely colour this when I get photoshop at the beginning of january

#british men trapped in corridors
This isn't funny.
I am British, and this is a serious problem.
Many a time I have walked down a corridor, only to find a poor man standing there, staring, just staring, in oddly patterened shirts and jeans.
Our government is doing it's best, but sometimes it seems nothing can be done.
I've heard of cases where they've actually had to knock down the walls to get them out, and that's very risky, as you can see as they are attracted to the walls and lean on them…
Millie keep an eye on Mike he could be next
So many of my friends have died from bad shirts and small confined spaces. :/ When will the Conservatives do something about this problem.
I mean you can try putting up signs but sometimes it's not even known how they're getting in there or why the british male attempts to make its home in brick corridors. They are delicate, mysterious creatures, and I hope the EPA steps in soon.
This is just so sad. Reblogging because I have a heart.
We can't just close our eyes to the plight of British men trapped in corridors in peculiar shirts. Don't just scroll past this, reblog. It won't make your blog look ugly.
Such a tragedy…

Best BB Regardless of Price!
Let me start by saying this my 4th BB cream and will be the last. I have tried everything from an $8 drugstore version to a $60 prestige BB and this is HANDS DOWN the best BB. The texture is amazing, the color match incredible, and it's a great value because it takes half as much as other brands. Do yourself a favor and make this your FIRST BB Cream. :-)
I have super dry skin so the last thing I expected from a bb cream was to look so greasy, This was the worst bb cream I have tried, the coverage is non-exsistant, it doesnt cover anything! Not to mention this broke my skin out really bad. It moisturizes a little too well and even with a setting powder I was overly dewy looking. This is not a product I would repurchase or recommend.
I Love This!
This was my first attempt at a BB cream and I loved it. It gives me a beautiful glow, great, light coverage, and stays put longer than a tinted moisturizer. It blends really well. I use with a primer underneath and dust on top with a baked mixed shade powder. Will continue to buy.
This product was heavy to me. I have combo/oily skin, and I bought it because I heard it was a matte finish. However, this finish wasn't matte at all. It left me with a dewy glow and left my skin feeling covered up and heavy. I didn't like this. A positive point for this product is that it has SPF and isn't made with too many harmful ingredients. The skin tone was a bit dark for my skin also. I don't think it was worth the price of $32. Better alternatives include Boscia BB Cream for a more natural and lighter finish/coverage.
"Asian BB Creams are the best." Yes, we've heard that. However, we are not in Asia and sometimes people can't get their hands on them because of the shipping prices and what not. So, we have Too Faced! This one is definitely the best of al the ones I have tried, and I've tried quite a few. It is better than the drug-store brand ones and even better than some high-end ones. Even the price is reasonable for being a more expensive product! It gives an even coverage and actually provides some type of coverage. It feels good on the skin and leaves a glowy effect. If you're worried about it not providing enough coverage, especially on your blemishes, just use concealer then! If you still feel it's not enough, then set it with a light powder. You might end up covering the nice glow it has with a powder, but at least it won't feel as heavy as foundation, especially in the Summer or all year long if you have oily skin all year long.
My new favorite tinted moisturizer
Check out my video review I did on this product. It really moisturizes your face and has added benefits, like SPF, light reflecting pigments that give your skin a glow and it is oil free. Four shades to choose from and you can wear it alone for a sheer coverage or under makeup as a primer. http://blog.alelizabeth.com/2012/03/too-faced-tinted-beauty-balm-review.html
I absolutely LOVE LOVE this product! It made my skin look so radiant and evened out my skin tone perfectly. This product is good for anyone looking to get light to medium coverage. It does not cover blemishes or acne that well (if you are looking for heavy coverage), but this product is meant more to be used if you want a light, natural, every day look. It does not clog pores, works good with sensitive skin, and is also good for dry skin as well. Since I have dry skin, I used this as a dual moisturizer and beauty balm. I have also used this on some of my clients and they love it as well.
My new everyday go to face product.
I absolutely love this product! It's lightweight and has a beautiful dewy finish. I just apply a small amount of product in one hand and rub my hands together to warm it up then apply it to my face. It's very moisturizing with spf 20 and retin-a for anti - aging. I just add a little bronzer and I'm good to go for the day. I have very acne prone sensitive skin and this works beautifully with my skin.
Wonderful product!
This is a great BB! It's really moisturizing but still light enough to wear in the summer. A little goes a long way and the tube is huge so it lasts forever! I love when I apply it I feel like it gives my skin a really nice glow, without looking greasy :) plus it has SPF which is always great. I purchased this at sephora. Before I bought it I asked for a free sample which I definitely suggest doing so, because they give you a lot in the sample container and you can test it to find if it's right for your skin type and you can find the perfect shade.
Great part of my everyday routine!!
I've tried a few BB creams and this one is definitely my favorite. It lasts all day, and I have noticed improvement in my overall skin health. I put a very light amount on before I put my foundation and concealer. I think it helps to make everything last all day long. It's smooth, not oily or sticky, and a little goes a long way.

As the Puerto Rican legislature prepares to eliminate LGBT-specific categories from the island's hate crimes law, the island's governor is registering his opposition to the measure. Gov. Luis Fortuño indicated "that he supports the island's current hate crimes law that includes sexual orientation and gender identity and expression," the blog Boy in Bushwick reports. The bill to eliminate LGBT-specific categories has passed the senate and will soon be taken up by the house.

text: SEATTLE (AP) - The National Weather Service says there's a high wildfire danger from Friday afternoon through Sunday evening across much of Western and Eastern Washington. Forecasters say the risk comes from dry lightning strikes as thunderstorms move across the state. Because of dry conditions, the red flag warning area includes the western Cascades and Puget Sound area south into Oregon. The red flag warming also covers the southeast corner of Washington, eastern Oregon and parts of Idaho. Expected thunderstorms also raise the possibility of flash flooding on the east slopes of the Cascades. Forecasters say the summer pattern of morning clouds and afternoon sunshine will likely return next week.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

2012 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor
In 2012, Malawi made a moderate advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The Government published its list of hazardous work, convened the first meeting of the Child Labor National Steering Committee, and continued to support social programs to address child labor, particularly in the tobacco sector. However, the Government has not finalized or fully implemented either key legislation or policies protecting children from the worst forms of child labor, including the Tenancy Bill, the Child Labor Policy, and the Child Protection Policy. In addition, the country continues to lack a compulsory education law. Children continue to engage in the worst forms of child labor in Malawi, particularly in dangerous activities in agriculture and fishing.

Parents, if you haven't found just the right summer camp for your child, fear not. We've checked around and found some affordable camps with openings. Better yet, these camps give your child a chance to sharpen specific skills.You have options when it comes to choosing a summer camp for your kids. But if you choose Young Masterminds of Atlanta, be warned – it's not all play."We're very honest with parents, and tell them this is not a day camp, they're not playing all summer," said Archie McEachern of Young Masterminds of Atlanta.McEachern and Shatavia Elder, the founders of Young Masterminds, say they'll have a ball. It's a specialty camp. Instead of providing a day long agenda of general activities, kids will spend the day concentrating on a specific set of skills."We teach entrepreneurship as well as financial literacy, communicative protocol and personal development. So every youngster that comes in our hands will have an opportunity to open a small business from beginning to end," said Elder.Honing a specific skill is something the city of Atlanta believes in also."At Adams Park, we have our basketball camp. At Central Park we have our all sports camp. At Coen park we have our special needs camp," said Jennifer Ogunsola with the City of Atlanta.At Washington Park, it's swimming, tennis and golf. The city says it's all an effort to expose kids to a variety of different activities.While camps can be an expensive proposition, these camps are affordable. Young Masterminds ranges from $100 to $150 a week. The city's camps are $35 a week for residents and $110 for non- residents."They have a good time because they're learning these different things. What kid doesn't love money," said Elder.
In addition to shirts and field trips, most specialty camps also include snacks and lunch. For more information on specialty camps, click the links below:

Our backyard is like an insect vacation spot apparently. We can hardly go out there without getting attacked. I have a plan though, I am going to survive by getting rid of those pesky bugs naturally. One way to do that is by making my own citronella candles. I first read about this idea on Positively Splendid, I love how she frosted the jars and made them extra decorative, be sure to check out her website for those details.
Today, I'm going to show off my homemade citronella candles and teach you how to make them too!
{Make Your Own Citronella Candle}
Candle Wax (You can use soy wax too but I just used plain candle wax from Hobby Lobby)
Long Candle Wicks
Citronella Essential Oil (NOT fragrance oil-get essential oils at a health food store)
Any glass jars or old candle containers
Directions: First, position your wick in the jar you are going to use. You can hot glue the wick to the bottom of the jar if you'd like. I used a pencil to keep the wick straight at the top. You can see in the picture below how the wick stays up while I poured in the wax. All you need to do for step one though is secure the wick to the bottom and wrap it around a pencil.
Next, melt the wax in a double boiler. I simply used a pot of boiling water and placed one of my mixing bowls on top of that (inside the pot with room for it to breathe) and melted the wax that way.
Keep stirring constantly, the wax will melt quickly. Once melted, add in your essential oils. You'll only need about 5 drops or so of Citronella. You do control the scent though so if you feel that you need more then you can add it.
Positively Splendid mentioned in her post that she colors the candle by throwing in broken pieces of crayon!! How cool is that? I threw in yellow and it came out great. Just stir until completely melted.
Once all the wax, color and scent have been mixed and melted, simply pour into your prepared jar or container. It will need to sit awhile to cool and harden up again. It will end up looking like this candle below:
How easy is that? Positively Splendid also mentioned you can make any scented candle this way too so if you want to skip citronella and do another oil, you can do it!

At North Park since: 1989
Dr. Terree Shofner-Emrich came to North Park because she was given the opportunity, she says. "However, I continue to stay here because it is a thriving, nurturing community. I care for and respect my colleagues, and the students are our number one asset!"
She teaches courses and lessons predominately in piano and collaborative piano, but also works with the School of Music's Opera Workshop and accompanies and coaches graduate students in Opera, Oratorio, and Art Song courses. She, along with her colleagues, enjoys the small class sizes and community atmosphere of the School. "We are a faculty of accomplished professionals who love to teach. Most of us have active performing lives in Chicago and can bring that experience into the classroom," she says.
"We are small so that enables us to give personal attention to our students. We care about the entire person, not just the part we educate," she adds.
Dr. Shofner-Emrich's own career as a pianist, conductor, teacher, and coach spans a wide swath of the music world. She is a pianist for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Symphony Chorus, where she has worked with many of the world's leading conductors, and is Music of the Baroque's regular accompanist. She has performed extensively in the Midwest, South, Southeast, England, France, and Italy. She coaches professional singers, directed the Chicago Redhots, an a cappella close-harmony male sextet, and coached pop/rock musician Sting for a day. She made her operatic conducting debut in Chicago in 1998 conducting Ralph Vaughan Williams' Riders to the Sea and the world-premiere of Philip Seward's Spreading the News.

OAKLAND — Oakland police have squandered nearly $2 million over the past five years on technology systems that were never used or underutilized, a city auditor's report has found.
The report, which is being released Wednesday, faults the department for not performing due diligence before purchasing technology systems and for not adequately managing or tracking the systems after buying them.

Image from Pentax UK.
A couple of days ago, Pentax threw down the gauntlet to the other medium format digital camera makers in the form of the 645Z. It uses the same ~50MP 44x33mm CMOS as the Hasselblad H5D-50C and Phase One IQ250, but with one critical difference: unlike the Hasselblad and Phase One, it's feasibly within the reach of a whole load more people. And it isn't just the shocking price – $8,500 plays $29,000 (Hasselblad) or $37,000 (Phase) – it's the UI and operating gestalt, too. I think what we've just seen is an early game changer.

A few months ago, I learned of the stunning archival holdings at the University of South Carolina's Moving Image Research Collections. Thanks to the invaluable help of Production Manager Ben Singleton, I had the chance to review some amazing baseball footage, part of the Fox Movietone News outtakes that were donated to USC back in the early 1980s.
When you think about it, this collection of footage is doubly rare. Certainly, very few people have seen the film today. But, since this footage didn't make the cut for the original Movietone News reels shot in the 1920s and '30s, it is likely that few beyond a handful of editors actually saw this footage back in the day.
Given my interest in baseball history, I was entranced by most every frame I viewed, but I was especially fascinated by some footage marked A7378 to A7382. The date associated with the footage was noted as June 1, 1925, but my experience researching some other footage in the collection taught me that these dates did not necessarily correspond with the date the film was shot. For example, different footage (A4510) marked "November 7, 1924" clearly showed Babe Ruth at Washington Park in Los Angeles. But Ruth's appearance there was on October 27, not November 7, 1924.
There's no question about the identity of the man with the bat. His powerful upper body, his grip at the very end of the bat (unusual for the time), his distinctive stance and swing. It's clearly Babe Ruth. The Babe is wearing Yankee pinstripes, so going on the tentative assumption that action is from June 1, 1925, this would imply the game took place at Yankee Stadium.
...That afternoon, just two innings after the Ruth ground out captured on film, Gehrig was sent to pinch-hit for shortstop Pee Wee Wanninger. Lou flied out to Goose Goslin in left field. But more importantly, it was the first game in which he had participated in four days. The next day, Gehrig started at first base, went 3-for-5 at the plate, and didn't take another day off until May 2, 1939.
In short, not only does the footage capture Ruth's return to the Yanks in 1925, but it also gives us a glimpse of Lou Gehrig on the very day he began his famous streak of 2,130 straight games played, a mark that remained unbroken for well over half a century. In hindsight, some very fortunate footage shot by a very lucky Fox Movietone cameraman.
Thanks to Marv.

How come Gehrig was allowed to use his cell phone in the dugout?
I am not sure if it's the camera angle but it appears that the catcher has a less crouched stance when receiving the ball than what I see from catchers today.
I am not sure if it's the camera angle but it appears that the catcher has a less crouched stance when receiving the ball than what I see from catchers today.
The Babe did not cheat himself when swinging the bat.
As I recall Ruth was injured and missed a number of games in 1925.
Does anyone know the nature of his injury/illness?
He almost looks like a slow pitch softball player. Not his body shape, but the way he totally commits to the swing and moves his entire body forward.
As the sporting industry exploded in the 1920s, athletic trainers and their charges immediately saw the possibilities of using his research. Even the Big Bambino himself, Babe Ruth, injected himself with extract from a sheep's testicles, hoping for increased power at the plate (and in the bedroom). He attempted this only once, and it made him incredibly ill; the Yankees covered the story by telling the press that the Babe just had one of his famous bellyaches. Even though the Yankees tend to celebrate all things Babe Ruth, they have never, to my knowledge, had "Sheep Testicles Day" at the stadium.
Some people believe Babe was ill from injecting sheep testicle extract. I'm being 100% serious when I post this.
Sean, that story has been mentioned in about 5,000 steroids threads here over the past 10 years.
That was the year that he suffered from "The Bellyache Heard 'Round the World", which caused him to faint and convulse a few times.
He attempted this only once, and it made him incredibly ill
seeing this footage really emphasizes just what a huge sonofabitch he really was compared to other players of his time.
Unless he wasn't yet wholly recovered?

One of my favorite spaces in the library is the media room, nestled in the southwestern corner of the lower level. The room is dominated by a 46" flat-screen monitor, a DVD/VHS combo-player, and hookups and cables allowing you to connect most any computer or audiovisual device to the screen. Four comfy chairs surround a rolling table, whose surface is just the right height to take notes or rest mugs of tea. Reserve this room online and have your own private screening room for anywhere from half an hour to three hours. Contact the Tech Desk if you need help setting anything up. Fully equipped and private, it's a perfect spot for you and some friends to screen class projects, view assigned media, or watch that Polish art-film loaned from Summit you've been dying to see. Happy viewing!
