Flying Penguin... I vote for number 4... I like the shape and bearing of the character...
I think I agree with MasterTroglodyte, but I think it's mainly because #4 has the most interesting outfit design out the rest, but I think that #1 has the strongest pose and attitude about him. Maybe a mix of the two is in order?
Flying Penguin - #2 has the most character to me, I like the pose on #1 as well
Victor Q - nice, thorough thumbnails, I really like the silhouettes and how the wisps go in straight lines.
Here's my wip, I might not get much more done but I ended up liking the idea, old swamp hermit has been searching for years and is finally returning the Heart of the Swamp to its rightful owner.
Eh might as well post my revision I'm still figuring out, instead of clunking it with all the previous edits. Plenty of issues I need to work on, but like it so far. Was originally going to use a giant toadstool for a hat.... thought that would be interesting.... ... then realized.... ... .
Toad from mario.... .... .... Then was going to make it a lilypad. Then remembered someone else did that and I don't wanna flat out take that and don't think I'd get it working. Might change his clothes to a robe and make it more asianish due to the hat obviously. Dunno yet.
and for Penguins. Number 1 has my vote, though mainly for the pose and the action of what's going on. He's just getting dinner lol.
Edit: Ros1 made a good point. So some rework. Though not used to just wiping something out then starting fresh but that's a good thing I guess. Needs major work though. Hopefully can do it by the deadline.
I have this issue of when I try to get all realistic and I drop my contours and in general lines. That once I draw a character it feels very out of place. I need to work on this and pick one way or the other instead of getting a shit mix of the two.

Flying Penguin, I saw this and thought of it as a group of four individuals. I'm thinking LEAGUE OF SWAMP JUSTICE.
Update, some work on the old voodoo priest.
Flying Penguin - Great bunch of characters
Update. I always tend to leave the background until very last - perhaps it's a formula worth re-working.
So many great entries, the description captured my imagination.
Some nice ideas around here
JFierce - I think you could show some more of his face, now it's maybe to little for a concept...
FlyingPenguin - Cool bunch of guys Every one of them has some cool features, i really can't decide who i like the most. I guess Cyr was right
MrFrenik - Very nice sketches and color ideas. Also cool touch with an enormous rat
VictorQ - I love your drafts, can't wait to see some next steps
Lionsketch - Nice drawing, but i think that now he looks more like an angler than a hermit. Maybe he's just to clean
Next wip:
Finally got my linux system up and running went with LinuxMint14 - so currently using mainly mypaint & Krita bith reallygood capable open source digital paint apps.
Anyhoooo got some thumbs/sketches done need to decide on one and do a git of character exploration tomorrow night. Thinking of a mix between #2 & #4
first WIP - C&C please
Here's my WIP
started them rendering today, gotta get some refs to push it further, I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable with his legs, waddaya guys say?
I'm still gonna wear down his clothes and put the wisps gimmick, so it's far from done.
Maybe tomorrow or saturday I try out some more individual crits/comments, it's almost 4 am here now X_X
Ros1- Thanks man, loved your design and colors =D
Crits and comments are very welcome
Hello, this is my first time post my pic here
And here is my WIP
VictorQ, the face looks awesome, the feet definitely need more love.
Another WIP:
Mouzi - That's a cool drawing, welcome to the forums!!
hivibe - My only critique is the background, the dark grey, it gives a lifeless feeling to the image for me, are you going to color? Also he could use a little indication of shadow under his feet and the rod to show the ground plane he stands on. Great work on rendering especially the frog and his face.
Wonderful entries in here. SO much character in all of them!
Had to speed this up, there's a great IOW topic I also want to participate in. So here goes:
I will post a smaller one with the proper borders in the finals thread.
I like yours also, but right now the background steals all the attention as it has a lot of the details. I'm sure things will be different once you work more on the character. A trick you might use to quickly filter the image(s) you use for the BG is Filter > Noise > Median if you're in a hurry (quick deadline for ex). And I found this looking through the reference folder I put together for this concept: http://submit.shutterstock.com/forum/files/001_191.jpg It has a similar lighting with yours. Do you plan to go with a hat or just a piece of cloth for the head? http://image.shutterstock.com/displa...a-12679807.jpg
Cool stuff, Benedikt, nice use of textures.
Okay, trying to sketch something a bit more worthwhile - still not sure if I'll finish in time but at least it will serve as practice for SAI
For Benedikt : Great lighting! : D
Pretty busy day today
Developed the character, did a turnaround sheet and started some colour work.
I hooked up a homeless man with some cash the other day, but only because he had the best dreads i've ever seen. These bad boys were touching the ground and in 1 huge clump.
Cray cray.
Here is a late min hermit. This guy probably smells similar to the homeless dude I donated to.
Dayle, hivibe, Ironbyte, JFierce, Marker-Inc, meth, msafs, Partisan, Rob Powell, wuzzle
going to try and finish this guy up tonight, looking great everybody! Bnoch, seriously digging where that one's going.
No time for refinements. Was fun

Of Cars and Cigars
Gary Cowger diverted his dreams of baseball diamond greatness to another field: automobile making.
Paul A. Eisenstein
From the Print Edition:
Edgar Bronfman Jr., Mar/Apr 03
Though he never achieved his childhood ambition of pitching for a professional baseball team there's no question Gary Cowger is playing in the big leagues these days.
Strolling into Detroit's vast Cobo Hall on a chilly January afternoon Cowger surveyed his own field of dreams' the sprawling General Motors exhibit that captured so much attention during the annual North American International Auto Show. With a mix of concept cars and production vehicles GM dominated the annual event something few could have imagined possible when Cowger was named president of the company's long-troubled North American automotive operations. But today as he fast approaches 56 Cowger himself has trouble at times believing the twists and turns his own life has taken since joining the giant automaker as a co-op student back in 1965.
Among those who know him his rapid rise is anything but a surprise. Cowger brings to GM a balanced blend of style and substance a willingness to listen and an ability to convince a love of cars tempered by a levelheaded sense of business basics. He's also a bit of an outsider in GM's clubby corporate atmosphere. That might seem odd for someone who's collected a paycheck from the carmaker for nearly 40 years. Until recently however he hadn't served a stint in Detroit. But along with the time he's spent in the American heartland assignments in Europe and Latin America have made Gary Cowger well aware of the increasingly global nature of the modern auto industry.
"I had in my mind I was this great professional baseball player" Cowger says with a laugh both wistful and self-effacing. Growing up in rural post-war Kansas City listening to scratchy broadcasts of ball games on an AM radio it seemed a perfectly logical goal especially since his father coached a successful local youth team.
When Cowger graduated magna cum laude from high school he wanted to play ball at Kansas State but he wasn't offered a scholarship. One day however an invitation came in the mail from what was then known as the General Motors Institute the automotive equivalent of Harvard. "Don't congratulate me" he recalls telling his family "I want to play baseball." But his father "broke the news to me." The wanna-be ballplayer would be a good pitcher but never a great one. So reluctantly the young man went off to learn about the auto industry. Nearly 40 years later it's a decision Gary Cowger occasionally revisits but one he never really questions.
It wasn't a complete disconnect. Cowger was a car buff as long as he can remember. The first picture he has of himself shows a broadly grinning boy barely old enough to walk sitting in an old metal-pedal car. He grew up learning the words to all the old car songs. And he lost his coverage when the local insurance agent came down the alley and found the teenaged Cowger working on his souped-up Chevy Bel Air.
Better yet while General Motors Institute wasn't exactly a sports powerhouse it provided Cowger a place to shine on its various teams. That was of course when he wasn't working in the school's co-op program which gave him his first taste of what it was like in a car plant. It wasn't always easy. Though the institute had a history of training GM's best-and-brightest it made sure students knew every aspect of the company and every six weeks during the school year' Cowger and the others would leave the classrooms to work as "shop rats" on the assembly line. It was experience that would pay off for a lifetime.
By the time Cowger was ready to graduate "I decided this was pretty much a good thing."
This longtime runner was soon ready for GM's fast track. By 25 he was a shift superintendent at his hometown plant in Kansas City quickly landing a series of more challenging assignments with increasing responsibility. In 1977 he headed to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a GM Sloan Fellow; when he returned Cowger was appointed paint superintendent of the Kansas City plant. He wouldn't stay long.
Word was getting around and in short order Cowger rotated through a series of field assignments. He earned a reputation as something of a fireman the type of guy who could be brought into a troubled plant and make things work. He proved it at Cadillac where he became manufacturing manager in 1987.

The U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration, U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service is organizing a Trade Mission to explore opportunities in the energy, renewable energy, infrastructure and safety and security technology sectors in Cairo, Egypt April 14th – 16th, 2013.
The mission will help participating firms gain market insights, make industry contacts, solidify business strategies, and advance specific projects, with the goal of increasing U.S. exports to Egypt. The mission will include one-on-one business appointments with pre-screened potential buyers, agents, distributors and joint venture partners; meeting with national and regional government officials; and networking events. Participating in an official U.S. industry delegation, rather than traveling to Egypt on their own, will enhance the companies' ability to secure meetings in these countries.
Egypt is strategically located at the gateway of trade for Africa and the Middle East. It is a prime location for the transit of goods, as well as a key destination for American companies seeking to do business in the region. Participants may take advantage of Commercial Service Gold Key Services in nearby countries while they are in the region.
If you have any questions regarding the Egypt trade mission, please contact Anne Novak at 202-482-8178 or firstname.lastname@example.com or Salahuddin Tauhidi at 202-482-1322 or email@example.com.

Mesa Slowly Picking Up OpenGL 3 Support
Published on 31 August 2009 07:15 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
11 Comments
Intel's Ian Romanick has announced on the
Mesa3D development list
that he has made available an
arb_sync branch
of Mesa. As implied by its name, this branch implements support for the GL_ARB_sync extension, which just officially debuted with
OpenGL 3.2
. Initially this GL_ARB_sync support in Mesa is just implemented within the software rasterizer, but it's expected within days that it will receive hardware-accelerated support within Intel's Mesa3D driver. The GL_ARB_sync extension brings the concept of "sync objects", which is described at length within
its specification
This is not the first OpenGL 3 extension to be added to Mesa, but this month support for
, and others have made their way into Mesa too. However, the only hardware driver receiving this support right now has been for Intel.
Ian Romanick explained that over the coming months they hope to add "a bunch of new functionality", but a lot of work is certainly ahead. Intel is also still deciding whether or not they will be switching to a Gallium3D driver once that new infrastructure has matured, because of the work involved with having to rewrite their driver, which is why this code is currently going into the classic Mesa stack.

With familiar characters, drift-racing action, and good-looking graphics, Angry Birds Go! is a fun arcade racer, but repetitive gameplay and freemium limitations are regrettably part of the package.
Pricing not available
While the gameplay has barely evolved, this sequel is just as addictive as ever, and is still a great download for all ages.
Pricing not available
With new birds, new powers, and a ton of new levels to explore in the "Star Wars" universe, Angry Birds Star Wars is a worthy purchase, even if you've played all the previous games.
Pricing not available
The advanced, AI-driven Anki Drive bridges the gap between digital racing games and physical slot cars with a laser tag twist; we just wish there was more than one course to race around.

Angry Birds Epic, due for a soft launch in Canada and Australia this week, takes a sharp turn away from the game's traditional mechanic.
The latest from Rovio brings the Angry Birds to the racetrack for downhill racing fun.
Despite the lack of information about several elements of the game, Stay Alight is pretty fun, with good-looking graphics, good audio, and realistic physics. With a little more info about the story and description of game elements, this could be very good game.
Pricing not available
Angry Birds has long been kind of the sling-shotting, but now it's trying to make a move into racing with Angry Birds Go.
Jolla's Sailfish software reaches commercial readiness -- and you'll be able to try it out as a launcher on your Android phone.
Stella! You might not have thought app developer Rovio had any more angry birds left in its cage, but it's found some for Angry Birds: Stella, due to be released this fall.

How far out do they project?
In two of the bedrooms in our house we had paneling on the walls. The paneling was directly on the drywall. We've removed the paneling and re-finished the drywall. The outlets and light switches now stick out too far because the boxes were installed accounting for the paneling. I cut out a piece of 1/4" oak to fit around the box and put the cover plate on that and it solved the problem but looks terrible.
Does anyone have any suggestions of something I can buy that could go around the box that would look better than what I have done?
How far out do they project?
If you read the posting, it appears to be 1/4" since that is the thickness of the filler she used.
Yes, they are about 1/4" out too far.
They make a template that will work but I wouldn't know where to tell you to find them.
Either way it will look about the same.
Any idea what they are called or what I would search for?
Are these plastic boxes? If so you could trim off 1/4" and I would think you would still have enough depth in the threaded boss to capture the outlet screws. Might have to cut something off these screws. Now this might not be technically legal since I'm sure there is no provision in the electrical code for modifying a listed device.
You could rip the boxes out (carefully). The grey boxes that screw into the stud are great for rework and can be set easily at the correct depth. This would be the cleanest solution and much stronger than using the old-style rework boxes.
Unfortunately, they are metal boxes that are nailed into the studs. I've thought about ripping them out but this won't be easy and will destroy the walls.
I had identical problems all over the house. In most cases we just replaced the drywall and set new boxes at the correct depth. However, I did rip out a half-dozen or so boxes, both plastic and steel, and installed new ones in their place. Oddly, the easiest boxes to replace were the steel ones, and I was blessed by the original electrician, who in many cases didn't staple the wires up tight as required by Code.
Your best friends are a Sawzall, a fine-blade jigsaw, and someone who's good at patching drywall. Keep in mind that's it's just as easy to patch a big hole as a little hole, so you can just saw out a big chunk of drywall from around the box to allow easy access to the wires if you need to. Be careful not to cut wires. Also remember that you can rip out the back of the wall and work from that side if you want to save your newly-finished wall(s).
You should have waited to refinish the drywall until all this was done, of course...
You can buy and install "old work" boxes that have little wings that lock to the drywall and aren't nailed to the stud.
The following is a description of how to fix what you have, but it can be modified to remove the old box and install an "old work" box.
1. Remove the outlet or switch and move the cables away from the side of the box that is fastened to the stud. If you are going to remove the box, loosen or remove the clamps that hold the cables and disconnect any wires that will prevent them from being removed.
2. Using a power drill, drill two holes about 5/8" from the front edge of the box, and about 1/4" from the top and bottom of the box. The holes will necessarily be at a bit of an angle and it will help if you get a long drill. I would use about a 3/16" drill because there will be some risk of breaking the drill. It will also help if you use a center-punch to mark the location of the hole to prevent the drill point from "walking" as you try to start the drill. The holes are near the top and bottom of the box to make them clear from the electrical terminals.
3. Use a large flat-blade screwdriver and hammer to pry the metal box a bit off the stud.
4. Use a Sawzall with thin blade, or a saber-saw, to cut the nails. By tilting the saw you can probably cut the nails without doing much damage to the dry wall. Use a short blade to minimize the danger of hitting the wires.
5. Set the box flush with or or as much as 3/16" recessed behind the face of the drywall and fasten it with two screws. It sometimes helps to put a small shim at the front edge of the box to keep it from "tilting" sideways. You can also use one of the "old work" metal strips that will bend over the box edge and prevent the side away from the stud from sticking out too far.
If you want or need to replace the box, you can usually remove the wire and install an "old work" box.
Thanks for the suggestion...I will give it a try.
Depending on the type of box, they may be simple or a PITA to remove.
If they are nailed, simple. Pull the nails and screw the boxes back in place.
If they are bracket mounted, PITA. sawzall the brackets, screw the boxes back in place and probably patch a little drywall/plaster

If pricing is a concern-get a quote first – I have had my hair colored and styled by Judy she was great! She always told me the correct pricing and never tried to upcharge with the products; she left the salon. I was then given to Julie who quoted me one price and when I got to the check out the price was $75.00 more! OMG, $150.00 to get my roots touched up only around the "halo"? They may do a good job but other salons do an equal job and seem consistant with their charges. You expect to pay more for a senior stylest but I would think the cost for a senior stylest would be the same as it is in all salons, you pay more for more training, but at this salon you pay more depending on the day of the week. They do pamper you but ladies, be clear how much are you willing to pay for a cup of coffee or a glass of lemonade? It is cheaper to drop by Starbucks and go elseware to get your hair done.
Looking for quality service? Salon Estique is the place. – They believe in 100% customer satisfaction- and it's true. I got a phone call about a week after my hair appt to make sure I was happy with the results. From the scalp massage to the water and refreshments, it was the best experience I've ever had.
I will definitely return for future services.
Great Place – I have been a client at Salon Estique for some time now and have always received great haircuts. The staff has treated me with courtesy and professionalism. I'm a very happy customer.
Professional, Friendly and Exciting! – What makes a salon a great experience is the attitude of the Staff - from the cleaning staff - right up to the Stylists and Owners. The sense of Teamwork at Salon Estique was terrific. Watching the young new stylists, observe the Master Stylists with respect and enthusiasm - soaking up every bit of knowledge they could - was amazing. Everyone loved what they were doing which made for an exciting atmosphere. The energy in there was electric! I've been going to Salon's since I was a young girl - the sense of family - the helpful attitude and attention to the client are first rate. You won't just get a great color or cut at Salon Estique you'll walk away feeling like you just spent time at your best friends house. Keep up the great job ladies!
HORRENDOUS!! – This salon has to be the worst salon I have ever been to in my life. Yes, you walk in and they greet you with a smile but if you're new they give you an awkward tour of the salon and constantly bug you to see if you are doing ok or if you need this or that. When I got my hair done I asked for a very small trim and the woman began to tell me how she thought if we did this and that it would look stunning and so on and so forth. The stylists need to learn how to listen and give the client what they want and not try to rob me of my money because they dont do that great of a job. THEN! The manager prances around the salon looking angry and pissed off all the time and to top it off she treats her staff like dogs! I couldnt believe the way she went up to one of the girls in front of her client and interrupted and began to pretty much scold her and say how she needed to come see her later! How completely unprofessional she really just needs to retire. They also need to get rid of that girl up front Adrianne i think her name was. She checked me out and was so completely fake and annoying seems like she could be in a bad mood all the time as well. Over all this salon treats their employees poorly, has terrible customer service, horrible style it really needs to be updated, and should seriously consider finding some new management that would be respectful and professional. All and all they are a greedy bunch.
Great Salon – I looked for 3 winters being a snowbird and finally found Salon Estique..yeah..love the staff..always great work..and very clean for a busy salon...has trainees which are a big turnover..but the best stay a long time..most of the key people have been there 3-15 years which is #1 for me..They are GREAT..
Best Service Salon in Town – I have never been to a salon that guarntees all their services and products 100%. i have gone to several different stylists and have continuly gotten great services and left feeling very special and pretty. I would recommend this salon highly to anyone.
talent and business sense – I love going here because I get compliments on my hair. The staff all works together like I have never seen in a salon. So glad to find you all. It seems from my point of view things run smoothly they have system in place I appreciate that we are all busy.
Faye for Facials – Faye gives awesome facials! She is so knowledgeable and very accomodating. Her touch is fabulous. I should know, I've been using her for years!!!
5 stars for facials with Faye! (but NOT for hair) – I've been getting facials from Faye for a year and a half. I'd tried out other places, but nobody quite took the time to understand my seriously problem skin like Faye does. She listens to my input on how my skin reacts to different treatments and adjusts what she does accordingly. Faye does not push products on me but has suggested a couple that really do work for my skin. Also, she makes sure I get the best deal, letting me know about special promotions and free add-ons. It's always a relaxing experience; I can't wait for my appointment on Friday.
Now, the hair is a whole different issue. The cut and color is okay but nothing spectacular. My color was nice the first time it was done but has devolved to a blah brown and the cut is a very simple. It is not worth the money. In fact, I'm currently looking for a new salon for my hair.

Longworth at the double
Jamie Longworth scored two second-half goals to help Queen's Park earn a 2-2 draw in an entertaining encounter with Annan.
The visitors took the lead in the 21st minute when Martin McNiff's 35-yard strike found the bottom corner of Neil Parry's net.
Queen's Park started the second half strongly and equalised in the 59th minute when Longworth headed the ball high into Alex Mitchell's goal from close range after good work from James Brough.
Alistair Love restored Annan's lead in the 83rd minute when he tapped in from close range, but they were not in front for long.
Longworth secured a point for his side when he added his second goal in the 85th minute from 20 yards out.

MPA Admissions
Keri Ledezma
The traditional approach to the Master in Professional Accounting degree is open to students with a bachelor's degree in any academic discipline. Students with an undergraduate accounting degree often complete the program in 36 hours (fall, spring, and summer). Students without an undergraduate degree in accounting or business normally earn the MPA degree by completing a 42-hour program (summer*, fall, spring, summer).
*Admitted applicants who do not qualify for the ACC 381–Financial Accounting waiver (based on two semesters of Financial Accounting, including one semester of Intermediate Accounting, at the undergraduate level with a grade of B or better) will be required to complete two courses during the second 6-week summer session. Second summer session courses begin in mid-July.
MPA students interact with professionals in the field through the MPA Distinguished Speaker Lyceum, receptions, team competitions, workshops and internships. The program also offers study abroad opportunities to prepare students for the global focus of today's business world.
Texas MPA graduates are heavily recruited by nearly 200 organizations in a wide variety of industries. Most students accept a job offer before graduating.
International**: January 5
U.S. - Final: March 1
Here are the 10 steps you'll need to complete to become a McCombs student in the traditional MPA.
Complete the MPA pre-enrollment requirements prior to applying.
Follow the admissions blog for important admissions updates & application tips. International applicants (not citizens or permanent residents of the United States of America) should be aware that their application deadline differs from those of domestic applicants.
Explore your MPA track. The Texas MPA provides students the opportunity to develop specialized expertise in one of four tracks. Your advisor will discuss your goals with you and help you choose a track; the MPA program also offers an Accounting Careers Exploration Class (ACC 151) that examines several different career areas as they relate to tracks.
Prepare your application materials well before you apply. Confirm the people who will write your letters of recommendation. Make sure your GMAT scores are accessible.
Submit a completed online (ApplyTexas) application and pay the application fee. Applications to the traditional MPA are accepted for the fall semester only. The online application opens in the 1st week of September each year. **An international applicant is defined as a person who is not a citizen or permanent resident of the United States of America.
Upload your supplemental application materials. All application materials, including official test scores, must be received by the final deadline, at the latest. Applications that are completed after the submission deadline are considered on a space-available basis only.
*U.S. applicants with strong credentials (GPA of 3.5 or better and a GMAT score of 600 or better) are encouraged to submit their applications by the early deadline (December 1) if they wish to receive an earlier decision notification. Please note that the admissions committee may decide to admit, deny or place an applicant on a waitlist, depending on the strength of the entire application and applicant pool.
Have your official GMAT and TOEFL (or IELTS) scores sent directly to The University of Texas at Austin. Please review Characteristics of a Strong Application for additional details and UT's institution codes.
Wait for the admissions decision. Once complete, your application is sent to the MPA admissions office for review. The MPA admissions committee will post decisions on the status check site and send out an email with your letter of acceptance or denial within 24 hours of decision. U.S. applications are reviewed on a rolling basis in the order of file completion, beginning with those completed by the early deadline and ending with those completed by the final deadline. All international applications are reviewed after the application deadline rather than on a rolling basis.
Commit to the MPA program. If you are admitted, the MPA program will email you the details of how to formally accept your offer of admission, including how to pay the enrollment deposit. Important information and the next steps will be covered in the website for new students, your week-long mandatory orientation and your initial advising appointment.
If your final goal is to take the CPA Exam your MPA adviser will tailor your academic plan so that you are eligible to sit for the exam by the time you complete the program.

The test is usually done in the hospital. Before the test is done, you may be given a medicine to prevent pain or to calm you (sedative).
If the biopsy is done through the abdominal wall, you will be lying on your back with your right hand under your head. It is important to be as still as possible.
The health care provider will determine the correct spot for the biopsy needle to be inserted into the liver. The skin will be cleansed, and a small needle will be used to to inject medicine to numb the area. A small cut is made, and the biopsy needle is inserted. Ultrasound
is usually used to guide the needle.You will be told to hold your breath while the biopsy is taken. This is to reduce the chance of puncturing the lung or tearing the liver.
The needle is removed quickly. Pressure will be applied to stop the bleeding. A bandage is placed over the insertion site.
The procedure can also be done by inserting a needle into the jugular vein. If the procedure is performed this way, you will lie on your back. X-rays will be used to guide the health care provider to the vein. A special needle and catheter (thin tube) is used to take the biopsy sample.
If you receive sedation for this test, you will need someone to drive you home.
Tell your health care provider about:
You must sign a consent form. Blood tests are sometimes done to test your blood's ability to clot
. You will be told not eat or drink anything for the 8 hours before the test.
For infants and children:
The preparation you can provide for this test depends on your child's age and experience. For specific information regarding how you can prepare your child, see the following:
You will feel a stinging pain from the anesthetic needle and when the anesthetic is injected. The biopsy needle may feel like deep pressure and dull pain. Some people feel this pain in the shoulder.
The biopsy helps diagnose many liver diseases
. The procedure also helps assess the stage (early, advanced) of liver disease. This is especially important in hepatitis C infection.
The biopsy also helps detect:
The liver tissue is normal.
The biopsy may reveal a number of liver diseases, including cirrhosis
, hepatitis
, or infections such as tuberculosis
. It may also indicate cancer.

Highlanders escape Jr. Bucs
By Tim Chambers
JOHNSON CITY — It wasn't a Picasso, but Cloudland's win over University High could turn out to be the masterpiece needed to win the Watauga Valley Conference championship.
The Highlanders brushed University High 44-42 inside of Brooks Gymnasium, bumping the Junior Bucs into a virtual tie for second place with Hampton and Unaka.
The Rangers and Bulldogs lost at UH, which makes the win even bigger. The Highlanders have games remaining with Hampton and North Greene at home and Unaka on the road. They hold a one-game lead over the pair.
"I'm happy with the win, but disappointed that we didn't put them away when we had the big lead, said Cloudland coach Brandon Carpenter. "I felt like some of our older guys got comfortable and let up a little bit, and you can't do that against a team like University High on the road. But it's a win and we'll take it."

I am continually amazed at people's negativity when it comes to change. There is nothing so permanent, except for death that it cannot be changed, and even death changes everyone around you.
Carson City was rated No. 1 in the nation for being hardest hit by the recession. With the freeway already bypassing the downtown corridor, we have lost a lot of traffic. Once the freeway is completed it will remove a lot more, and for most of existing downtown businesses that are struggling, they will be gone, creating a virtual ghost town.
How do we climb …

Saint Francis Xavier
- Apostle to the Far East
- Francisco de Jaso y Azpilicueta
- Franciscus de Xabier
Born to the nobility of the Basque reqion. Studied and taught philosophy at the University of Paris, and planned a career as a professor. Friend of Saint Ignatius of Loyola who convinced him to use his talents to spread the Gospel. One of the founding Jesuits, and the first Jesuit missionary. Priest.
In Goa, India, while waiting to take ship, he preached in the street, worked with the sick, and taught children their catechism. He would walk through the streets ringing a bell to call the children to their studies. Said to have converted the entire city.
He scolded his patron, King John of Portugal, over the slave trade: "You have no right to spread the Catholic faith while you take away all the country's riches. It upsets me to know that at the hour of your death you may be ordered out of paradise."
Tremendously successful missionary for ten years in India, the East Indies, and Japan, baptizing more than 40,000 converts. His epic finds him dining with head hunters, washing the sores of lepers in Venice, teaching catechism to Indian children, baptizing 10,000 in a single month. He tolerated the most appalling conditions on long sea voyages, enduring extremes of heat and cold. Wherever he went he would seek out and help the poor and forgotten. He traveled thousands of miles, most on his bare feet, and he saw the greater part of the Far East. Had the gift of tongues. Miracle worker. Raised people from the dead. Calmed storms. Prophet. Healer.

It is not the actual physical exertion that counts towards a man's progress, nor the nature of the task, but by the spirit of faith with which it is undertaken. - Saint Francis Xavier
The best way to acquire true dignity is to wash one's own clothes and boil one's own pot. - Saint Francis Xavier
We have visited the villages of the new converts who accepted the Christian religion a few years ago. The country is so utterly barren and poor. The native Christians have no priests. They know only that they are Christians. There is nobody to say Mass for them; nobody to teach them the Creed, the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Commandments of God's Law.
I have not stopped since the day I arrived. I conscientiously made the rounds of the villages. I bathed in the sacred waters all the children who had not yet been baptized. This means that I have purified a very large number of children so young that, as the saying goes, they could not tell their right hand from their left. The older children would not let me say my Office or eat or sleep until I taught them one prayer or another. Then I began to understand: "The kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
I could not refuse so devout a request without failing in devotion myself. I taught them, first the confession of faith in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; then the Apostles' Creed, the Our Father, and Hail Mary. I noticed among them persons of great intelligence. If only someone could educate them in the Christian way of life, I have no doubt that they would make excellent Christians.
Many, many people hereabouts are not becoming Christians for one reason only: there is nobody to make them Christians.
I wish the university students would work as hard at converting these people as they do at their books, and so settle their account with God for their learning and the talents entrusted to them.
This thought would certainly stir most of them to meditate on spiritual realities, to listen actively to what God is saying to them. They would forget their own desires, their human affairs, and give themselves over entirely to God's will and his choice.
They would cry out with all their heart: "Lord, I am here! What do you want me to do?" Send me anywhere you like – even to India! - from letters to Saint Ignatius of Loyola from Saint Francis Xavier

Fee: $2,400
Marketers require greater understanding and deeper insights into Millennials than comparisons with previous generations. Certainly not all millennials are alike, but what segments exist among millennials? What are key differences in the Millennial segments?
Through the program's active learning experience, you will obtain a detailed look at the segmentation study from Carnegie Mellon's Integrated Innovation Institute, discover the segments defined based on values and purchase behaviors, and formulate marketing plans for your specific Millennial segments of interest. Offered in partnership with the Integrated Innovation Institute.
Despite the prevalent generalizations and observations of the Millennial's behavior, typically focused on how they differ from previous generations, there is not much clarity about how Millennials differ from one another.
To identify and understand consumer segments within the Millennial generation, Carnegie Mellon's Integrated Innovation Institute conducted a survey of U.S. Millennials spanning economic brackets, racial demographics, and all 50 states. The results yield insights on Millennial segments, how they differ in purchase behavior and motivations, offering participants a powerful tool to help their companies gain a lucid understanding of their youngest consumers.
Understanding and Marketing to Millennials, jointly offered by Tepper School of Business Executive Education and Carnegie Mellon's Integrated Innovation Institute is intended for:
Marketing professionals from a broad variety of branded product and service firms:
Advertising and PR Professionals:

Uruguay 3-2 Argentina
Uruguay must play a two-legged play-off tie with Jordan after finishing outside the automatic qualification places for next year's World Cup despite edging out Argentina 3-2 in a thrilling encounter at the Estadio Centenario.
Oscar Tabarez's men finished alongside fourth-placed Ecuador on 25 points in the CONMEBOL table, but it is La Tri who booked their spot at Brazil 2014 by virtue of a better goal difference.
Los Charruas will at least enter their play-off encounter in high spirits following a morale-boosting win over an Argentina side that were missing several key players but were already guaranteed to finish top of the standings.
The hosts twice took the lead through Christian Rodriguez and Luis Suarez's penalty, only to be pulled back on both occasions by former Liverpool forward Maxi Rodriguez, before Edinson Cavani sealed victory just after half-time.
Uruguay began the day three points behind third-placed Chile and Ecuador, while an inferior goal difference to both teams also seriously hindered their chances of clinching one of the two remaining automatic qualification berths.
Yet they made an ideal start as the deadlock was broken as early as the fifth minute when Suarez's free-kick was flicked on by Diego Lugano to Christian Rodriguez to slot home.
Argentina did not take too long to level, however, with Maxi Rodriguez applying the finishing touch after Augusto Fernandez had chested down a Rodrigo Palacio cross from the left nine minutes later.
Suarez put Uruguay ahead once again in the 33rd minute, with a penalty that Argentina goalkeeper Sergio Romero was very close to saving.
But La Albiceleste, despite missing key players such as Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain and Javier Mascherano, pulled level once again through their stand-in captain Rodriguez, who cut in from the right and drilled past Fernando Muslera with a left-foot shot four minutes before half-time.
With their automatic qualification hopes all but over, Cavani did at least ensure victory for Uruguay in the 49th minute after converting from Suarez's pass in the 48th minute.
Uruguay needed another four goals to avoid the play-off tie, following Chile's 2-1 win over Ecuador, but they could not find a way past Romero again.
Cavani expressed his frustration after the match, saying: ``Uruguay have always suffered. It seems we like suffering.''
``We were hopeful that Chile could win (against Ecuador) and we wanted to score a lot of goals, as many as possible.''
Ahead of the tie with Jordan, which will see the Asian side play the first leg as hosts, Cavani told Argentinian TV Channel TyC Sports: ``We've done our job quite well so far and we hope we can win both games.''
``It is an advantage for us to play the first leg in Jordan.''

Rescue workers carry a student wounded by soldiers at Lycée Adoum Dalla high school in Moundou, Chad. Djasnabeye Mbaindo
MCC partner reports human rights violations in Chad
June 10, 2008
AKRON, Pa. – Chadian Association for Nonviolence, a partner organization of Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), has reported that government soldiers killed eight students during attacks on high schools in Moundou, a town in southern Chad.
Soldiers stormed the town's Lycée Adoum Dalla high school while classes were in session on April 23 and attempted to arrest a student. The student and several classmates resisted the arrest, and the soldiers barricaded the exits and started shooting indiscriminately, killing four students and wounding more than 30, according to information provided by Chadian Association for Nonviolence.
Djasnabeye Mbaindo, a communications officer for Chadian Association for Nonviolence, was at the association's headquarters in Moundou on April 23 when he heard the shootings begin at the nearby Lycée Adoum Dalla high school. He and other staff members ferried wounded students to a hospital as the shootings continued for several hours.
"We took our vehicle up to the school to go and transport some students," Mbaindo said. "... The students were trying to escape from the firing."
The following day, soldiers attacked students at several other high schools in Moundou during student demonstrations against the violence. The soldiers killed four students and wounded at least 10, according to information provided by Chadian Association for Nonviolence.
Two MCC workers, Daniel and Kathryn Smith Derksen of Shoreline, Wash., are serving with Chadian Association for Nonviolence as peace and reconciliation capacity building associates. The association leads training sessions on nonviolent conflict resolution for people from different ethnic communities in southern Chad, and MCC also supports this work financially.
Chad, a central African nation of about 10 million people, is troubled by a variety of conflicts. On a national level, rebels are fighting to overthrow the president and most recently attacked the capital, N'Djamena, in February in an attempted coup d'état. On a local level, Chad's farming and livestock-herding communities often come into conflict over land issues.
"A lot of people are armed, and the military are very quick to pull out their weapons," Kathryn Smith Derksen said.
However, Mbaindo said that none of the students in Moundou were armed, and the soldiers' actions were a clear violation of human rights.
"Those soldiers, because of maybe ignorance, they don't know anything about, maybe, the respect of human rights," Mbaindo said. "I think that the main problem is ignorance."
Chad's central government sent a delegation to Moundou in the aftermath of the shootings. The delegation paid some compensation to victims and their families, and the central government removed military officers who were responsible for the attacks, but no criminal charges have been filed in the killings of the students, Mbaindo said.

PLAYERS: Robert Griffin III
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, Washington Redskins
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, Washington Redskins
At 9-3, the Ravens are the only AFC division leader not currently guaranteed a playoff birth, and looking at their schedule, it's conceivable that they could still be overtaken by the Pittsburgh Steelers as the AFC North's top team. In case you're now scratching your head, hear me out. The Ravens have a remarkably tough road ahead to round out the 2012 regular season. Baltimore goes to Washington, then host the Broncos and Giants before finally heading to Cincinnati to end the season. Considering their recent offensive woes, there's not a single "should win" game on the schedule. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a somewhat more manageable schedule, but it's still not an easy road. Pittsburgh hosts San Diego, travels to Dallas, hosts the Bengals, and rounds out their against the Browns in Pittsburgh. The Redskins are a team on the rise, and they'll almost certainly give the Ravens fits with Robert Griffin III taking snaps. He's...

Adult Sex Toys
Adult Toys is a softer name for sex toys. Another related name is marital aids, often used as a euphemism for Adult Toys, although marital aid is broader as it can also be applied to devices and herbal aphrodisiacs which increases sexual desire or prolong sex.
An Adult Toy is any object or device that is primarily used in facilitating human sexual pleasure. The most popular Adult Toys are designed to resemble human genitals and can be vibrating or non-vibrating.
The most popular adult toys vibrators and dildos are primarily used by women. Medically, very little research has been done on sexual issues among women in the past, although this appears to be changing. Yet women experience sexual dysfunction at a much greater rate then men. Many women's issues regarding sexual satisfaction can be traced back to foreplay or being prepared. Women simply take longer to reach peak arousal than men. Many of the adult toys today are designed to enhance foreplay, or bring about a woman's arousal more quickly.
Women are, indeed, the main buyers and users of sex toys, but that doens't mean that toys are for women only During partner sex, many couples play with vibrators, dildos, and other toys and enjoy it immensely. In addition, toys for men can enhance sex for him and you.
Many women enjoy sex toys because they can extend foreplay and allow more time to warm up to sex and become fully aroused. In general, men become aroused more quickly than women. But not always. If men feel stressed, or distracted, or preocupied with other things, they may take a while to switch gears and become fully aroused. In addition, as men age, the instant erections of youth become slower-rising erections of life after 40. Sex toys allow men to play their way into full arousal, rather than fretting about it.
Toys for men can also enhance women's experience of sex. Toys encourage sexual playfulness and creativity. Many women complain that men lack these qualities and want to move too quickly into intercourse. But when men use sex toys, they generally become more playful and less preoccupied with intercourse Products targeted to men can make your time in bed more fun and less stressful.
Sex Toys are purchased and used worldwide by a wide range of open minded sexual people - women and men; sexy singles and couples; gay,lesbians, straight, transgendered and bi-sexual.

Those hospitalizations represented 16.5 percent of all the state's hospital admissions in 2001, up from 14.7 percent in 1997. The highest rates were for African-Americans, admitted for diabetes, kidney disease and amputations.

If you look at the history of payroll you will see that the Red Sox who were win-less in 80 years tried to buy a championship around 2000.
It was then that the Yankees payroll jumped. They spent FROM their success--not to attain it. They were not going to let the Sox buy the division. Since then, the Phillies, Rangers, Sox, and Tigers and now Dodgers have been trying to buy success. Although the dodgers at least had some past success.
It was always a misnomer, jumping to conclusions, lazy analysis, and just not putting all the fact on the blackboard that led to the thought that the yankees were buying their success. If the greatest franchise in the history of sports cannot spend FROM their success--who can?
The Yanks had a effective payroll of 75m this year with 100m injured on the bench and had 85 wins. So they must be excluded form this years analysis in the way its being used.

It is not, truly speaking, the labor that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men --broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.

John Ruskin (February 8, 1819 January 20, 1900) was an English author, poet and artist, although more famous for his work as art critic and social critic. Ruskin's thinking on art and architecture became the thinking of the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

Rated 4 out of 5 by bbenn good purchase the calls sound weird at first but once you figure out how to use your hands to manipulate them, they sound very good! February 14, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by SpeedyKill Not so good.... I bought this setup about a month ago. I have taken the cottontail distress call to the field several times. EVERY time I get ONE setup out of this. Your breath condensates near the reed area and it absolutely will not work. Only problem is, it sounds so good, I take it every hunt because you get one good set out of it. I would not drop $20.00 on this again or recommend. I just bought the Primos Double Cottontail and it was EXCELLENT. Sounded the same for a 3 hour hunt in 20 degree weather. February 11, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by JACKKM Great Call I love the call I am still trying to figure out how to get the jackrabbit/cottontail to work but I am sure with time I will get it going. Also when you get it it is VERY hard to use as an open reed call but if you soak it in warm soapy water it will separate. And you can always push it back in when you are done. February 9, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by BigEIndiana Nice Calls I like the sound of the calls all though I haven't had any success with them yet. The electronic call doesn't quite work like it should all the time when you push the buttons. January 21, 2011
