text: When some Chinese naval officers crossed the Pacific to visit the Naval War College here on an Atlantic-lapped island, they gazed reverently at a desk used by Capt. Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840-1914). This compliment to America's preeminent naval strategist has scholars here wondering whether Mahan's Chinese readers are taking from him lessons similar to those Theodore Roosevelt derived.

going 2 check out the demo. kinda reminds me of some video game idea i've been thinking of
This game came out on steam and it seems pretty neat. The idea is that it's a co-op game where you are a wizard who can combine elements to cast spells. The catch is that friendly fire is always on and its really easy to kill yourself or your teammates. It sounds bad but it is really hilarious.
One of my favorite things is that the game doesn't take itself too seriously. It's actually pretty funny as you will see in the trailer.
Now the spell combination system seems like a minor bullet point but it really is the defining feature of the game. So you can combine fire and earth to throw a ball of molten rock, or you can get enemies wet and blast them with lightning.
Where it goes wrong is what makes the game fun though. Say you accidentally get yourself wet right as a teammate casts lightning. Now you're fried. Say you fire a beam of arcane light and an antsy team member fires an opposing element your way. The beams collide, causing an explosion that kills everyone.
This RPS article outlines many possible scenarios where you die horribly.
RPS Article:
That being said I haven't bought the game yet because I am broke. But there is a demo you can play, and if anyone likes it we should play co-op once I get it.
going 2 check out the demo. kinda reminds me of some video game idea i've been thinking of
Cool man. Today I killed myself because I threw down a shield and tried to arcane blast through it. But I didnt know that shields reflect beams so I fried myself.
man thats even on the list of waht not to do
why do these goblins gotta keep interrupting my spells. its kind of a dick thing 2 do
Its a good thing I waited on buying this. It seems its in need of patches.
yeah I cut that rope at the start and got flung into a pit of death
also if u buy it before end of january u get a pointy hat dont u
Yeah but Im gonna still be broke even after my next paycheck.
I love the sarcasm in the clip. Actually looks kinda fun, though

Is it possible to modify the .mkext on the install dvd? For convienice sakes, I want to add ATI Sata support and new Realtek1000 1.04 drivers.
Is it possible to modify the .mkext on the install dvd? For convienice sakes, I want to add ATI Sata support and new Realtek1000 1.04 drivers.
xxxxxxxxxxxrun these commands in terminal:
sudo su (enter your password after this line)
mkdir /DVD_Extensions
mkextunpack -d /DVD_Extensions /Volumes/Jas\ OS\ 10.4.7/System/Library/Extensions.mkext
(Your DVD name may be different so replace the "Jas\ OS\ 10.4.7" part with whatever yours is called, noting that the \ after a word is needed in order to put a space in. This will extract all of the extensions in the mkext file into /DVD_Extensions.)
All of the extensions in this folder are flattened meaning that anything that would be in a plugins folder within a kext is now located right next to the kext that would normally contain it. This means that the AppleGenericPCATA.kext that is normally in IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/ is now located in the /DVD_Extensions along with IOATAFamily.kext. This means that if you're adding a new kext that contains plugins, you will need to place each kext into the /DVD_Extensions folder. This shouldn't matter if you're using kexts without plugins.
After you add the kexts you want in the bootup Extension.mkext, run these commands:
chown -R root:wheel /DVD_Extensions
chmod -R 755 /DVD_Extensions
now you'll be able to run the kextcache.
kextcache -m /Extensions.mkext /DVD_Extensions
this will now create a new Extensions.mkext on your root / folder which you can then use transmac or whatever to replace the old one.
If you're in Mac, you can mount the image as readwrite by doing this:
hdiutil attach /"Your Image Name Here" -readwrite
This will let you copy the files directly to the image.
Will give it a shot
be aware that the kexts contained inside the .mkext file doesnt get install. As far as I can tell they are just for booting the DVD and get the installer going. If you want to add those drivers to your installation you would have to create some packages (I use Iceberg), and add those packages to the DVD.....

So I have my phone for about a month now and things were great. it was jailbroken, unlocked with the easy GUI unlocker, I was able to install files, my own ringtones etc.
I purposely kept it at 1.02 until further work was done with the unlockers and jailbbreaks for 1.1.1 so that wasn't an issue.
Then all of a sudden last week, calls started dropping. THe other caller would sometimes go directly to voicemail. The signal would wildly fluctuate between full and none/no service. I couldn't understand what was happening. I put the sim in my treo 650 and used it without a hitch. I put it back in the iphone and within minutes it didn't work as well.
I wanted to take it in to Apple but of course with the unlock, they would say it is a software issue. So now with the new virginizer software I was able to reset the phone to original state and then upgrade to 1.1.1 firmware. I then used an ATT go phone sim to use the phone and I have not had any signal issues as far as I can tell all evening.
Tomorrow I was supposed to go into apple to have them look at it.
My question is : Was this the unlock software that affected the signal? Did anyone else have similar issues? Should I get the phone exchanged and will they do it since there doesn't seem to be a signal issue currently?
any help is appreciated.

The Smurfs 2
Description: In this sequel to Columbia Pictures/Sony Pictures Animation's hybrid live action/animated family blockbuster comedy The Smurfs, the evil wizard Gargamel creates a couple of mischievous Smurf-like creatures called the Naughties that he hopes will let him harness the all-powerful, magical Smurf-essence. But when he discovers that only a real Smurf can give him what he wants, and only a secret spell that Smurfette knows can turn the Naughties into real Smurfs, Gargamel kidnaps Smurfette and brings her to Paris, where he has been winning the adoration of millions as the world¹s greatest sorcerer. It's up to Papa, Clumsy, Grouchy, and Vanity to return to our time, reunite with their human friends Patrick and Grace Winslow, and rescue her!

With a cast of literal heavy hitters that includes Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk and Captain America, plus the more vulnerable Hawkeye and Black Widow, "The Avengers" registers in the red on the Nerdgasmatron.
That's the gist of the message delivered by many of the mostly positive advance reviews of this Marvel Comics all-star assembly. True, the so-called fanboy may have smoke blowing from his ears like a cartoon steam whistle when he sees Scarlett Johansson in skintight leather put the hurt on a computer-generated space alien; but when a movie sells close to $160 million worth of tickets in the U.S. in advance of its opening date, it's time to stop suggesting that "nerds" or "geeks" or "fanboys" are responsible for the supremacy of the superhero at the multiplex.
Clearly, these thrilling yet comforting modern myths of peril and rescue and gods and champions appeal to many, many moviegoers who couldn't tell you that Comic-Con takes place each summer in San Diego, or that the original comic-book lineup of "The Avengers" included a guy named Ant-Man. When Thor's unyielding hammer meets Captain America's mighty shield at the climax of one of the film's impressive fights, the reverberating claaang will summon novitiate and convert alike, by the millions. "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" -- as the superteam was dubbed in the comics -- will earn the nickname by dominating the summer box office, and its uncertain whether even Batman (who returns July 20, in "The Dark Knight Rises") will be able to overpower them.
"Marvel's The Avengers"-the Super Hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and ...
Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action throughout, and a mild drug reference
Length: 142 minutes
Released: May 4, 2012 Nationwide
Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson
Director: Joss Whedon
Writer: Zak Penn, Joss Whedon
"The Avengers" -- or "Marvel's The Avengers," as the title appears onscreen -- will deserve its success. The movie lives up to the hype. Directed and primarily written by "Buffy the Vampie Slayer" creator and professional über-fan Joss Whedon (also the writer of the current horror homage "Cabin in the Woods"), "The Avengers" is a witty, spectacular, action-packed triumph. Unlike many of its genre predecessors, it does everything right; it's entertaining and coherent for newcomers, yet true to the spirit of its source material. It's rich with the superhero angst and personality clashes that were a Marvel innovation, but does not neglect the no-holds-barred hero-vs.-hero throw-downs that were a speciality of the so-called "Marvel Age of Comics."
Yes, True Believer, "The Avengers" gives you Black Widow vs. Hawkeye, Iron Man vs. Captain America and the Hulk vs. Thor. What's most impressive is that Whedon works these set pieces and the other flawlessly executed special-effects highlights into a smart and propulsive narrative, while also managing to fashion memorable scenes and distinctive personalities for every member of the story's large, sometimes green cast of characters. (The depth of the heroes is welcome, but the dimensionality of the 3D process is redundant; the movie works fine "flat.")
The culmination of a Hollywood/Marvel master plan that began in earnest with "Iron Man" (2008) and continued through "Iron Man 2" (2010), "Thor" (2011) and the promotionally titled "Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011), "The Avengers" finds Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), agent of SHIELD -- Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division -- resurrecting the discarded "Avengers Initiative." Fury's action is an attempt to stop the Asgardian, demigod Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who has stolen a powerful energy source to open a gateway in space to enable an alien invasion of Earth; Loki intends to rule our planet, as an act of vengeance against his Earth-loving half-brother, Thor.
When Loki is told the people of Earth have no quarrel with him, he responds: "An ant has no quarrel with a boot." He tells his human foes that they "crave subjugation. You were made to be ruled."
The heroes assembled for the "Avengers Initiative" disagree. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), alias Iron Man, is the wisecracking billionaire playboy industrial genius; Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), aka Captain America, is the man-out-of-time patriot; Dr. Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo, replacing such past Banners as Eric Bana and Edward Norton), is the anguished loner who fears the release of his inner "rage monster," the Hulk; and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is the noble god of thunder with the magic hammer.
Johanssen is the acrobatic Russian former assassin called the Black Widow, while Jeremy Renner is Clint Barton, the master of bow-and-arrow trickery known as Hawkeye (in the comics, if not onscreen: the character's "superhero" name never is uttered). Also back is efficient but un-super SHIELD agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), a relatively gentle and conventional soul among this "handful of freaks." The group spends much of its time aboard a gigantic flying battleship/aircraft carrier that is worthy of such Marvel master artists as Jack Kirby or Jim Steranko.
Kirby -- co-creator of Captain America, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, the X-Men and many others -- was an innovator and a true original. Whedon is a master synthesizer, which is just what a potential interstate pileup of a superhero movie like "The Avengers" needs. (He's also a good comedy writer: The film has some of the best jokes and funniest sight gags of the year, often courtesy of the Hulk.)
One might complain about the immaturity of a culture or even a species that demands such reassuring if elaborate parables of good and evil, and that dreams of guardian angels. One might point out that the global communication surveillance technologies employed by SHIELD are likely illegal and arguably immoral, and ripe for abuse. One also might wonder why the Manhattan zoning commission allowed Tony Stark to trump Trump with a tower that looks like a supervillain magnet.
These are valid topics, but you're unlikelty to hear them being discussed in many theater lobbies after screenings of "The Avengers." Instead, you'll hear kids begging their parents to take them to see the movie again, and the parents offering little resistance.

Jennifer Lopez – Ain't it Funny (Remix) Lyrics
[Ja Rule] [Verse 1]
Murda Inc, ha, ha
It, must, be the ASS - that got me like damn
If they get any fatter
Man the Rule going to have to get at her
And our situation won't matter
I come to make you smile in the freakiest manners
J to the L-O, hello
No, I'm not Lee Harvey Oswald
I'm the Rule and I shot call
"Off the Wall" like MJ in his early days
It's the Inc. and Lopez now
[Jennifer Lopez]
Isn't it funny
It's been awhile since you came around
Now you want to see what's going down
Trying to tell me why you want my time
Trying to tell me how I'm on your mind
See it never had to be this way
You should have never played the games you played
Now I'm seeing that you're kind of lame
Knowing how the situation change
[Chorus] [Jennifer Lopez]
Isn't that funny
Baby that you want me
When you had me
Love is crazy
Now I can smile and say
Isn't that funny
Baby that you want me
When you had me
Love is crazy
I'm glad I can smile and say
Isn't that funny
[Jennifer Lopez] [Verse 2]
I remember how you walked away
Even when I tried to call your name
See at first I didn't understand
Now you're looking like a lonely man
I remember how you did me wrong
And now you're hurting because my love is gone
Everybody gets a chance to burn
You can take it as a lesson learned
[Verse 3]
[Cadillac Tah]
C-A double D, HA!!!
Double dose ma
Fly by, red line, Testa Rossa
Oh I, never been a sucker for chocha
Spit the ism, hit them, get rid of em
And you know That get it gully
And isn't that funny
How they want me see me working with money
But Caddy isn't a dummy
What these brodies want from me
Because all I got is G, J.LO!!!
And Murda I.N.C
[Jennifer Lopez]
I really wish you wouldn't send me gifts
Trying to make me sit and reminisce
Trying to blind me with your blinging bling
Thought I told you love don't cost a thing
Hope you realize that now I'm through
And I don't ever want to hear from you
I had enough of being there for you
Now I'm laughing why you play the fool
[Ja Rul] [Verse 4]
Baby, is that your girlfriend
I got my boyfriend
But maybe we can be friends
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Baby, I've got my boyfriend
Is that your girlfriend
But maybe we can be friends
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

TOPIC: Distinguished Citizen Award
OUR VIEW: Mengel helped many along the way
The past winners of Hardin County's Distinguished Citizen Award have come from different walks of life such as business and the health industry.
Larry Mengel, this year's award winner, has cut his own groove in our county. The retired U.S. Army colonel has been part of various projects with Habitat for Humanity that have turned dozens of lives around for area families.
In many cases, he helped provide a roof over their heads.

Holiday rush as mail deadlines approach
NAPLES — Santa's shipper elves are working hard today.
Monday is the Post Office's busiest day for incoming and outgoing mail, said Richard Barber, Naples' postmaster.
Today is also the last day for priority mail delivery to arrive by Christmas Eve, Barber said. Starting Tuesday, anything that needs to arrive by Christmas Eve will have to be shipped express mail.
"Right now we have a steady line three quarters of the way through the lobby (at the main office on Goodlette-Frank Road) and two full lines for both of our automated postal centers," Barber said. "That's what we're reporting at all our locations in Naples including our nine contract post office units."
A steady stream of cars pulled into the post office parking lot at Creekside Way in Naples at about 4 p.m. Monday. Inside, Christmas carols played on the stereo and a line of people snaked back from the counter.
Skip Lattenhauer, 66, stood at a table, methodically sticking stamps onto red and green envelopes. Most of them were headed to destinations in the United States, and a few to friends in the United Kingdom, he said.
"I got through there pretty quick," he says, motioning toward the line. "I bet you it was less than eight minutes. I thought it would be slammed today."
About five minutes later, he dropped 46 envelopes into the mailing slot and went on his way.
Meanwhile, Jackie Teets, 64, breezed in the door. She wore a red Santa hat on her head with a red spring on top and a jingle bell on the end.
"I'm working today, so when I go into the different businesses people seem to pick up their spirits a bit," she said of her outfit, which also included a Christmas sweater.
Teets was there to mail three last minute packages to her mother in Illinois, her daughter in Indiana and her grandson in Texas. She mailed two other boxes to another daughter and grandkids over the weekend.
"I've always been an out of town grandmother and so I think it's even more important," she said. "It's a little bit of a hassle, but I know they'll get joy out of what they're getting. It shows we put thought into it."
In total, Naples has 13 post offices.
"We have to consider the amount of mail being sent in the mailstream at the last minute and the weather we're running into once we leave the state of Florida," Barber said. "The weather in our hubs throughout the United States has been miserable and it's been tough landing and it's been tough going over the roads with these Christmas gifts, but we're doing it."
He also noted that the automated postal centers at the post offices at 1200 Goodlette-Frank Road, 1130 Creekside Way and 851 Vanderbilt Beach Road are open 24 hours.

Diploma Certificate
Why the Diploma?
The UNH School of Law's Diploma certificate was the first of its kind in the United States to provide legal training in intellectual property for managers as well as lawyers. The Diploma is an interdisciplinary program, designed to meet the needs of working professionals for a career in intellectual property or commerce and technology. The Diploma program incorporates the same course work as the Master's degree, but is designed for students who cannot afford the time or money to attend the one-year Master's program. The program enrolls lawyers, law students, business executives, patent and trademark practitioners, administrators and technology managers and focuses on the acquisition of both substantive knowledge and practical skills through innovative academic coursework.
The Diploma certificate is offered in two concentrations: Intellectual Property and Commerce & Technology.
Admission for the Diploma
Admission for the Diploma program is based on experience in the workplace. Priority will be given to individuals who apply before April 1 for the fall term and November 1 for the spring term. To be considered for a scholarship, applicants must also request a scholarship under the Financial Assistance Section in the application. Federal financial aid is available to US citizens or permanent residents of the United States. Eligible students must complete a FAFSA form online, and a financial aid award letter will be sent to qualified students shortly thereafter.
Requirements for the Diploma
To be recommended for the Diploma all candidates must successfully complete a minimum number of credits, complete the required coursework, meet the school residency requirements, fulfill all financial obligations to UNH law and comply with the UNH Law's Conduct Code.
All Diploma candidates must complete the following required curriculum:
- Introduction to American Legal Systems
- Graduate Program Skills
- E-Commerce (Required for Commerce & Technology students)
- In order to receive the Diploma, all candidates must complete a minimum of 15 credits.
- Diploma candidates must maintain a "Pass" average or higher to be granted the Diploma
I got a Diploma in Intellectual Property in 2001. The learning experience was unique and very helpful, not only because of the knowledge of IP but also the culture of United States of America.

Will Sisk
Hi Jim, I also looked in vain for Will Sisk's grave in Round Rock Cemetery. Not sure if its any help, but there was a William Sisk listed in the lists of Volunteer firefighters in Round Rock in 1916. Not sure if that's in your timeline. Hope someone can find Mr. Sisk's grave or records soon.

RE: Joseph Hamel
Hey Jim. I think I made a mistake. My message was in regards to Rosie not Joseph Hamel. I am new to this. It looked like there were two memorials for Rosie but when I checked again I did not see the second one. I think I made a mistake. I went out this weekend and took pictures of the headstones and added them to the memorial.

The memorial is not wrong. The relationship is what was wrong. You do not need to delete the memorial just the relationship.

RE: Ternes Memorials
Dear Jim,
We are TERNS, not TERNES which is another old Dearborn family. We are related to them but on my grandmother's side.
Peter and his wife Elizabeth (ESPER) are buried at Holy Sepulchre as is my grandfather Joseph Terns with my grandmother Antoinette Rose (Sellman). The other son Jacob and his second wife Christina Stein Esper Terns are buried at H.S. but Jacob's first wife Mary Catherine Esper is buried at St. Al's as is their son Albert George Terns.
There is probably a Peter Ternes running around because the Germans seemed to have very few first names that they used and it gets to be very confusing when cousins and uncles and parents all have the same first name.

Separating the East from the Slightly Less East; more Designated Reads
@martinrickman I vote for a picture of Dianne Wiest since it's the Big Wiest.
— Dan Weiner (@DanWeiner) November 13, 2012
• Let's settle this now. Behold, the divisions of the new Big East: Central Florida, South Florida, Connecticut, Louisville, Cincinnati and Rutgers in the East East, and Boise State, Houston, Memphis, San Diego State, SMU and Temple in the East West. The ease of remembering mostly geographically based divisions aside (lookin' riiiight at you, Increasingly Inaccurately Named Big Ten and ACC), new divisions mean new opportunities for mnemonic acronyms and Lovecraftian anagrams. IMPORTANT NOTE: For reasons relating to not wanting to come up with a bunch of U-words, we're going with Central Florida instead of UCF here, South Florida instead of USF and Connecticut instead of UConn. Thank you for your understanding.
Our best suggestions in the clubhouse thus far:
East: Crooked Stepping Creeping Landscape Creep Rust, Considering Shaken Chosen Lawyer Creator Rake and Change Shrewd Cremini Lump Craze Riot.
West: Blistered High Mockery S'more Stereo Turtle, Blended Holding Minor Sopping Sleepy Tangent and Broad Headache Manic Stiff Solace Toad.
Almost none of these words have anything to do with anything, which is sort of what we get for putting South Florida, Connecticut, Boise and San Diego State in the same conference. Please feel free to leave your own suggestions below.
• "You can basically do whatever you want." Don't miss this piece from Rachel George on the adoption saga of Sharrif Floyd and the ensuing NCAA tangles.
• Roster blotter. Jacoby Brissett will start at quarterback for Florida against Jacksonville State, in place of an injured Jeff Driskel … Rex Burkhead's status is still undecided for the Huskers' game against Minnesota … UNC kicker Casey Barth is done for the year.
• Marquess Wilson update. More on the state of the Washington State locker room at halftime during the Utah game, and what was going on at Cougars practice the day Wilson walked out.
• Coach firin' season! Jeff Tedford is going to get right to the bottom of what is wrong with Jeff Tedford's team, which he might want to do before Sunday.
• "'Every game, everywhere' is still a pipe dream." The Verge on ESPN and the future of streamed sports consumption.
• Tyler Bray, doing Tyler Bray things. Tennessee's media session Tuesday was one for the ages:
Vols QB Tyler Bray said he was the starting QB and punter in HS, and if he didn't want to punt, he just didn't.
— govols247.com (@govols247) November 13, 2012
Bray: "I'm paid to win games." Reporter: "You're paid?" Bray: "I mean … my education. That's what the SEC likes to call 'getting paid.'"
— govols247.com (@govols247) November 13, 2012
• Misc. We have a new fan hero, and his name is "sideline guy" … we have one thought on Bill Hancock being named director of the new college football playoff system, and this is pretty much it … Jason Kirk simulates college football playoffs from 1998 to 2012 … Johnny Football has trademarked Johnny Football … never forget, the internet is forever … and now, skydiving cats set to the music of R Kelly.

Crusaders Continue Play at Mid-Winter Invitational
Recap | Results
Related Links
Saturday, January 14, 2012
For the second straight day, #1 Valparaiso went 3-2 in action Saturday at the Mid-Winter Invitational in Jonesboro, Ark. and will enter Sunday's bracket play in tenth place.
The Crusaders started Saturday's competition, contested in the traditional format, against #6 Vanderbilt and came out with a big win, downing the Commodores 1021-962. Senior Natalie Cortese (Hoffman Estates, Ill./Hoffman Estates [Central Missouri]) paced Valpo in the opener with a 224 game, while sophomore Kaity Galka (Dyer, Ind./Lake Central) rolled a 221 and senior Amanda Cortese (Hoffman Estates, Ill./Hoffman Estates [Central Missouri]) posted a score of 210 as well in the win.
Valpo made it two wins in a row with a 921-837 victory over Jackson State, led by another game of 210 from Amanda Cortese. The Crusaders then earned their second win of the day over a fellow top-10 team, downing #5 Sam Houston State 926-901. Redshirt junior Ashley Busiel (Elk Grove Village, Ill./James B. Conant [Harper College]) led Valpo with a 215 in that contest, while Natalie Cortese rolled a 200.
Despite a 201 from Amanda Cortese in the next match, Valpo would lose for the first time on the day, falling to Elmhurst 981-885. Redshirt freshman Alyssa Alvarez (Antioch, Ill./Antioch) came off the bench to roll a team-high 205 in Saturday's finale, but it was not enough, as the Crusaders lost the closing match to #8 Nebraska by a 985-929 count.
Valparaiso (36-12) closes out play at the Mid-Winter Invitational on Sunday morning starting at 8:30 a.m.

Here is an update of my (Death / thanatos / grim reaper) wip. It's losing it's original idea though so might have to start again and turn this into something else.
Whilst the site has been down I have been posting stuff over at the facebook ca group. Thanks to those that made comments, looked at and "liked" my posts! I have to gulp slightly when I post my crap, so many fantastic artists I feel like I'm being deluded, why do I bother! Well, I am not being deluded, believe me, I know how bad I still am! just trying to be patient, confident and hardworking... maybe one day I will actually make a breakthrough and be able to hold my head up high.
I have also being doing some studies, but holding them back, it's gonna be a surprise, just got to finish them all off first!
Also, I have never been before, but am going to the ballet tomorrow, so did a little photo study as I'm really excited!
Can't wait til everything is in full swing again, I've missed this place so much!!! Thanks admin / mods/ community for all the hardwork, you're the best \o/
Haha it can be rough. Sometimes I look back at my sketchbook and I see a lot of people who comment "Amazing!" "Wow you're so good!" next to these really old and generally terrible pictures. I'm sure I'll feel the same way about the current pages in the future. Just keep working at it man! (haha sorry no real advice, just motivational speak.)
skMOP, haha, yeah I will, thanks.
Upload manager working much better, site seems to be back to it's awesomeself!
A quick environment and my character update for now.
Just a quick sb update (I need to sort out my life drawing / daily sketches before i can post properly). A couple of wips from some challenges that I worked on these past few weeks. I am really trying to control my values, using 100% opacity and solid fill colours with hue, saturation and brightness controls. I think I am making little steps in the right direction... just gonna study more and more til the end of the year and try hit 2013 with some actual original art, well that's the plan!
Love those pencil lifedrawings! The last one especially, it looks really natural, good job.
It's interesting - looks like my last crit here, months and months ago, was that you're looking too soft and airbrushed and losing form... now I'd almost say the opposite, that you need to work on your blending. Some of the stuff you've done lately looks like you're going for a high-contrast comic-book sort of style, but it's not quite working. I like your environment stuff, it's got a nice balance of hard/soft and varying texture that's missing in your figure/character work.
Mostly, if you're painting in colour, stay away from pure black. It flattens things out. If you're aiming for a more graphic style, go all-in on it. =)
Revidescent - thanks for the comments and feedback.
Here is my weeks entry for chow, thanks to kingkostas for the crit and paintovers!
Sick sketchbook! The improvement in here is amazing, you've really been working your butt off. It's definitely paying off, not much to say but keep at it. You're on the right track and super inspirational. I look forward to seeing more!
PS - You've got a knack for environments
My Sketchbook
SSG Peeps
Ok, big update time. A couple of pen sketches, just from photographs. A few dragons, no reference, just doodling. Then life drawings from a couple of sessions. Finally, some value studies from over the last couple of months. Environments, Planes, Portraits and some basic shapes. I am hoping to keep doing these, as part of weekly / monthly exercises but really struggling to balance life, work, and studying... I've been at this daily now all year and need to keep up the momentum (feel like I'm not making much improvements) but work has been really intense since summer. For that reason, gonna back off a little and just play around with the challenges and whatever shiny things grab my attention, then next year I can step it up again!
Forgot to say, thanks twilightmoon, it's nice to get positive feedback! Makes me want to work even harder! Also, here are my ideas for the Environment of the week contest #200. I am going to progress number 1 and 4, and do alternative compositions for them both before choosing which one to work up fully.
Thank you Dayle for visiting my page!
1. I'm really impressed you've improved bucket loads!!! i like the dinosaur landscape!!!
2. more landscapes please
3. your figure drawings are beautiful, a great challenge/trick is to do a few studies/gesture , then many imaginary ones, helps tons when doing chowz
4. Eow 200, i've been sitting on an idea for weeks but i'll do my best to take part, i have to! i like the summit thumb of your the most, i would change the angle tho because it looks likes the figure is crawling at this stage also make the figure way smaller
that would add depth,
how do i keep going / energy? i just think of guys like Marco , Daryl , Sickbrush etc and i think to myself dam why aint i living my dream? Also i consider how much work they put in and i try to chase em down.
i dont post as much any more since thats a bit addictive + counter productive (4 me personally). but i do work tons in the background LOL i always feel lazy to!
keep well man !!!!
Merry christmas all.
Here is a picture I did for my mum, as a present. I am quite happy with the result. Started off in greyscale with a round brush, then controlled the opacity manually with the HSB slider blending with percentage values. It takes awhile but I think it's a good technique as you control exactly where the tones change and it gives a more solid image. I need to be more subtle with my mid tones and stay away from the extreme darks and light tones.
I am inspired by your progress throughout this sketchbook. I need to really practice more studies and such for sure. I have given myself an assignment of at least 1 hour of sketchbook time with graphite to paper a day for the next year. We will see how that goes. Great stuff, def gonna watch your sketchbook for sure!
Palespyder - thanks man. Goodluck to you and keep at it!
Now I enter my third year here. I really need to focus more and work much harder this year! For now, here is my finished character; Thanatos, the greek god of death.
Really glad the site is back up once again, thanks to all keeping this place running.
Here is my current concept for this week(s) chow, Lolth the demon queen of spiders. I have learnt some important things whilst doing this so far, when to scale up, getting a high resolution for detailing and shading. Also not working destructively, i.e. deleting and erasing parts of the image, instead working with layer masks and overlaying new parts. I'm trying to take care with my edges and light sources.
What else can I say other than what's staring me in the eyes directly: Your improvement, like others have said, is really evident. I always liked your IDW designs and don't know why I slept on your sketchbook progressions.
I really like this dino landscape: http://conceptart.org/forums/attachm...1&d=1349355754
The silhouettes and the lighting...nice.
My site:
New World Creation: Designers Wanted Environment of the Week
Vulger - Thanks man! I appreciate the positive feedback. I really love those (all) challenges, it's a great way to produce things and explore ideas that I would otherwise never think of.
Here are my latest life drawing attempts and a little environment sketch I did when I was on the tram the other day.
Here is this weeks character design. The guardian of the stairway to heaven. He is based on a griffin and is bound with the job of stopping stray souls trying to enter the kingdom of heaven through the "secret" stairway, meant for those that are allowed to come and go as they please. The book he holds contains the names of those able to enter through the stairway and the sword acts as a barrier and mirror for those who cannot pass, giving them a final opportunity to reflect on their sins before being cast out.
Also sketch, started tonight, 3hrs so far. I want to use this as an exercise to get better values, edges and control of lighting, I still feel very weak in these areas. Also I am starting to overuse the airbrush and dodge tools so need to get some more tutorials and explainations on how best to blend.
Tonights update. Tried to fix her face. Added some colour, skin tone with warm / cold hues for shadows and light. I will hopefully use the weekend to do some colour / value studies. Gonna make a list of new things to practice.
Here is tonight's study. Starting looking at methods of blending / shading greyscale. Tutorial from Matt Kohr's ctrlpaint. http://www.ctrlpaint.com/brush-technique-blending/ I had to add some colour afterwards... a black and white orange just seemed wrong! I have found tons of useful links, tutorials and websites from conceptart, peoples sketchbooks and general searches and want to start referencing things here for other people to use and so I don't keep losing my links.
Very nice progress in just one year man! I especially like your anatomy sketches they are really becoming PRO! Looking forward to see where you are next year!
Kevinmrn - Thanks man, but it's actually two years! anyway, keep at it and you'll see the improvements in your own stuff, just don't stop... ever!
Tonights exercise was an opportunity to try out two interesting tutorials, and, allow me to work up a little sketch I did over Christmas.
He started off as a snowman, which was what I was thinking about when I drew him. Whilst rendering him up, thought it could be interesting as a child scarecrow. But finished off as a little alien!
Anyway, the important bit. Using basic shapes, but not being bored drawing spheres and boxes, (fyi, when I revisit this, I WILL draw spheres and boxes!) I wanted to practice the rendering technique I was looking at yesterday and start thinking about three really important areas, light, form and colour.
Using the Steven Stahlberg, Jealousy tutorial, I started with my sketch, thought about the light source, created some shapes to establish the direction of light and shadows. I know its very rough but I want to get through a few of these and come back to the ones that I feel work best for me. I find this artists work very impressive and he creates very strong pieces with amazing forms and lighting. link below.
With the colouring (something I am totally battling with everything), I wanted to try using a tutorial I saw on digital artist daily by April Madden. I have been reading about light, hues and colours (not as much as I should have by now) and was interested in trying this one out. Unsuccessful from the outset and I will try again once I get to grips with the blending, saturation and which colours work best for highlights and shadows.
Another link, general reading, but something extremely useful is the android arts tutorial by Arne Niklas Jansson, it manages to be clear, concise, full of information and really entertaining to read.
I was too tired to do any studies tonight but instead of xbox / tv I just started this, from a scribble, no idea where I was going.
I hate it when things don't go to plan... I saw a picture of a castle and had an idea, so spent today doing this. I need to improve my environments so much. wip:

The Agricultural Council of Nevada is seeking farms or ranches that have been in the family for 100 years or more.
The Ag Council is the lead sponsor of Nevada's Centennial Ranch and Farm Awards Program.
Forty-five Nevada families have been inducted into the program since it started in 2004.
"Many of Nevada's Centennial award-winning ranches and farms date back to the 1860s," said Liz Warner, program coordinator. The oldest is the Cushman-Corkill Ranch in Churchill County.
Other long-time ranches include the Snyder Livestock Co. in Mason Valley (1862), the Laura Springs Ranch in Carson Valley (1863), Stewart's Ninety-Six Ranch …

Pirlo: Italian football suffering from lack of quality
Italy midfielder Andrea Pirlo has blamed his country's disappointing World Cup performance on a lack of quality and insisted the Azzurri must "start playing football" if they are to challenge for major honours again at Euro 2012.
Pirlo was out injured for the majority of Italy's disastrous campaign in South Africa, making just a fleeting appearance in the final group game against Slovakia, a 3-2 defeat that saw Marcello Lippi's side exit the competition.
It was an embarassing display at the finals by the then-reigning champions and Pirlo believes that the Azzurri must dramatically improve as they prepare to take on Estonia in their first Euro 2012 qualifier, new coach Cesare Prandelli's first game in charge.
"We need to start playing football," he said. "We have to learn how to play with the ball on the ground and make quick exchanges of play.
"Italian football's problem is that we all have less quality: the players, the fans and the stadiums."

2013 News Releases
EPA Releases Chemical Screening Data on 1,800 Chemicals/Agency improves access to chemical data and announces ToxCast Data Challenges
Release Date: 12/17/2013
Contact Information: Cathy Milbourn firstname.lastname@example.com 202-564-7849 202-564-4355
"EPA's use of cost effective advanced chemical screening techniques has transformed this country's knowledge of the safety of almost 2,000 chemicals currently in use," said Lek Kadeli, acting assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Research and Development. "Today's release marks an important milestone in communicating and improving our understanding of the impact chemicals have on human health and the environment."
As part of this data release, EPA is announcing the ToxCast Data Challenges, a series of challenges inviting the science and technology community to work with the data and provide solutions for how the new chemical screening data can be used to predict potential health effects. Challenge winners will receive awards for their innovative research ideas.
The data were gathered through advanced techniques, including robotics and high-throughput screening, as part of an ongoing federal collaboration to improve chemical screening. The collaboration, Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century (Tox21), is comprised of EPA, the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences/National Toxicology Program, National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences and the Food and Drug Administration.
"Making these data publicly available will help researchers across disciplines to better identify hazardous chemicals, " said Raymond Tice, Ph.D., who heads the Biomolecular Screening Branch at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of NIH. "We are pleased to be a partner in these collaborative efforts and look forward to further enhancing the amount of Tox21 data available to the public."
"Our robotics screening system is an integral part of the Tox21 effort as it provides unparalleled speed, reliability and high-quality reproducible data," said Anton Simeonov, Ph.D., who is the Tox21 lead at the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences. "The public release of Tox21 data is sure to accelerate chemical assessment."
Only a fraction of chemicals in use in the United States have been adequately assessed for potential risk. This information is useful for prioritizing chemicals for potential risk as well as predicting if chemical exposures could lead to adverse health effects.

The explanation seems so simple -- Oregon government is quite adept at spending money foolishly. Fiscal caution and attention are never considered important to those who spend other people's money. In case one hasn't noticed, Oregon has had this attitude for decades.

Software and Tools
Here are some software and tools available for scientific research.
- Synthesizing Biological TheoriesThis tool enables biologists and modelers to construct high-level theories and models of biological systems, capturing biological hypotheses, inferred mechanisms, and experimental results within the same framework. Among the key features of the tool are convenient ways to represent several competing theories and the interactive nature of building and running the models using an intuitive, rigorous scenario-based visual language.
- Stochastic Pi MachineThe Stochastic Pi Machine (SPiM) is a programming language for designing and simulating computer models of biological processes. The language is based on a mathematical formalism known as the pi-calculus, and the simulation algorithm is based on standard kinetic theory of physical chemistry. The language features a simple graphical notation for modelling a range of biological systems, and can be used to model large systems incrementally, by directly composing simpler models of subsystems.
- A programming language for composable DNA circuitsRecently, a range of information-processing circuits have been implemented in DNA by using strand displacement as their main computational mechanism. Examples include digital logic circuits and catalytic signal amplification circuits that function as efficient molecular detectors. As new paradigms for DNA computation emerge, the development of corresponding languages and tools for these paradigms will help to facilitate the design of DNA circuits and their compilation to nucleotide sequences.
- A Programming Language for Genetic Engineering of Living CellsSynthetic biology aims at producing novel biological systems to carry out some desired and well-defined functions. An ultimate dream is to design these systems at a high level of abstraction using engineering-based tools and programming languages, press a button, and have the design translated to DNA sequences that can be synthesised and put to work in living cells.
- Scientific Dataset
Scientific DataSet (SDS) is a managed library for reading, writing and sharing array-oriented scientific data, such as time series, matrices, satellite or medical imagery, and multidimensional numerical grids.
- Disease Model Simulator
This tool enables the user to investigate the theoretical disease model used in the paper "Host-pathogen time series data in wildlife support a transmission function between density and frequency dependence" by Matthew J. Smith, Sandra Telfer, Eva R. Kallio, Sarah Burthe, Alex R. Cook, Xavier Lambin and Michael Begon to be published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (pending acceptance).
- Plant Competition Model Simulator
A Windows Presentation Foundation application that enables a user to experiment with the Crawley-May plant-competition model, a spatially explicit model that investigates the conditions under which two plant species can coexist. At present, this application runs SLOWLY and we will soon rectify the problem.
- WPF Dynamic-Data-Display
A set of WPF components for interactive visualization of scientific data.
- Density-Dependent Dispersal in Cyclic Populations Simulator
This software tool allows the user to view animations of the dynamics illustrated in the paper "The effects of density-dependent dispersal on the spatiotemporal dynamics of cyclic populations." by Smith, Sherratt and Lambin, to appear in Journal of Theoretical Biology (doi: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2008.05.034).
- Lambda-Omega Equations Simulator
This software tool allows the user to view animations of the dynamics illustrated in the paper "Convective and Absolute stability of periodic travelling waves selected by Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions in reaction-diffusion equations of Lambda-Omega type". Smith, Sherratt & Rademacher, in preparation.
- Mobile Wireless Sensor Network Monitoring and Management Tool
Determining the relationship between an animal's behaviour and its environment is fundamental in assessing how it can be effectively protected. Using a combination of wireless sensor networks, GPS tracking and integrative software solutions, we are developing the tools that allow scientists to work at scales, resolutions and ranges that were previously unavailable. This Windows Mobile based control application has been developed to interactively manage and track the status of the sensor network deployed on Skomer Island.
- NetCDF library for .NET
NetCDF (network Common Data Form) is a software library and a standard binary data format supported by Unidata (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/) that enables the creation, access, and network sharing of array-oriented scientific data.
- Environmental Scenario Search Engine (ESSE)
The ESSE search-Engine is a flexible, efficient and easy to use search engine for data mining in environmental data archives. ESSE will help you find useful data even if you don't know exactly what you are looking for.
- ESSE Visualization Plugin for NASA World Wind
ESSE visualization plugins for interactive visualization of scalar fields, vector fields and trajectories on NASA World Wind.
- ScatterWeb .NET SDK
ScatterWeb .NET SDK is a new approach to working with wireless sensor networks. It hides the complexity of embedded programming and makes it easy to handle objects representing wireless sensors.

The Administrator of the account can configure Multi-level approval process for all the forms in the account. Once the approval process is configured, all the records added to the form will go through the approval process. When you add a record to the form for which the approval process is configured, an email notification will be sent to the Approver and other users in the 'To Address' list. Also, the approval record will be displayed under the Approver's queue in their dashboard.
Approval Process
An approval process is an automated process used to approve records or form requests. It neatly visualizes the workflow of the approval process at each step along with the name of the Approvers. You can also check the details of the approval process like when a record is submitted for approval, status of the record - Approved/Rejected, and by whom.
Approval Request
An approval request is an email, notifying the recipient that a record was submitted for approval and that is waiting for his/her approval.
Assigned Approver
The Approver is the user responsible for approving an approval request.
Multi-level approval is a chain of approval process for a particular record. You can customize the approval process for each form as per your organization requirements. We have provided 7 different approval actions. Let's see how each action in the Multi-level approval works.
Reporting To: 'Reporting to' has up to 5 levels of approval process and it depends on your organization hierarchical structure.
Department Lead of Login User: Department Lead is the 'Department Head' of the login user.
Approver based on Role: Approver can be any defined role in your organization. If you choose 'Admin' as the Approver for the form, any employee who has the 'Admin' role can approve the leave request.
Department Head: Your organization may have various departments like Zoho People, Zoho Mail, HR department, Finance Department etc., If you choose Zoho People in the 'Department' field, then only the Zoho People Head/Manager will be able to approve the leave request.
Department Members: Department members are those who belong to the specific department. If you choose HR department as the 'Approver', members who are in the HR department will be able to approve the leave request.
Employee: All the individuals in the organization will be listed. You can choose any individual from the list.
Allow employees to choose the approver when adding a record: When this option is configured, employees are at liberty to choose the approver without any restrictions.
To edit the approval process template, please follow the steps below
To enable/ disable an approval process template, please follow the steps below.
To delete the approval process template, please follow the steps below.
The records that are waiting for approval will be listed under the Approver's Dashboard.
To view the pending requests,
The records submitted for approval will be listed under the Requester's Dashboard.
To view the list of records submitted for approval.
When you create a new record in a form, you can either save the partially filled form as a draft or send it for approval. Generally, when you submit a form record, it immediately goes for approval. However, while creating a form record, you can determine whether the form should be submitted for approval or just saved as a draft.
For example, while adding a record in the 'Employee Form', you might not know all the details of your employees. In that case, you can just save the form in it's current state and send it for approval once when you finish filling out all the details.

Question by Pour La Verite: How can I download the original version of Safari for my eMac?
I downloaded an update for Safari yesterday and I don't like it. The updates have caused Safari to fail, especially when watching videos.
Is their anyway I can go back to my original version of Safari?
Thank you.
Best answer:
Answer by UbiquitousGeek
An older version of Safari will not make it more compatible. Try Firefox for the sites that don't work with Safari. Being that you have an eMac, your system might just be a little slow for the newer Safari and media-rich sites.

Friday, April 25, 2014
By Eric Russell firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
Drug companies have long enlisted doctors to serve as de facto spokespeople for specific products, and have paid them handsomely to do so.
In 2009 and 2010, drugmakers paid Dr. Jeffrey Barkin, above, $114,225 for speaking engagements. He says he didn't write more prescriptions for drugs made by the firms that paid him.
Gordon Chibroski/Staff Photographer
Here's a look at some of the most commonly known drugs associated with leading pharmaceutical companies:
Eli Lilly -- Prozac (depression), Cialis (erectile dysfunction), Cymbalta (anxiety).
Pfizer -- Celebrex (pain, inflammation), Lipitor (cholesterol), Viagra (erectile dysfunction).
Merck -- Claritin (allergies), Levitra (erectile dysfunction), Singulair (allergies).
GlaxoSmithKline -- Avandia (diabetes), Paxil (depression), Advair (asthma).
However, an increase in disclosures by some drug companies in recent years of the amount they pay doctors – disclosures that will be mandatory by next year – appears to be reducing the amount of money those companies are giving doctors in Maine.
From 2010 to 2012, the amount of money paid by drug companies to Maine doctors for speaking engagements dropped by 60 percent, according to data compiled by ProPublica, an investigative journalism website. Money paid to doctors in Maine for research, usually clinical drug trials, increased by 40 percent from 2011 to 2012.
ProPublica launched its Dollars for Docs initiative in 2010 to track the money drug companies spent to test and market their products. The database was recently updated to include disclosures for 2012, including hundreds from Maine.
The list is not comprehensive because not all drug companies are required to disclose the information yet, but it does offer a glimpse into the financial relationships and incentives between pharmaceutical companies and doctors.
Supporters say those relationships are critical for drug companies, to help them generate industry support for new products, but critics say doctors who take that money run the risk of becoming salespeople for those companies, not educators. Although speaking engagements are legal, they also raise ethical questions about whether physicians who take payments to speak about those products are more likely to prescribe them.
Sharon Treat, a Democratic state representative from Hallowell and executive director of the National Legislative Association on Prescription Drug Prices, said she thinks more disclosure about the financial relationship between drug companies and doctors has changed the way doctors behave.
"Some of these relationships certainly look questionable, but disclosing the information lets the public decide," she said. "Patients should be able to ask their provider whether they are being paid a fair amount of money to talk about benefits of a drug and then write prescriptions for that drug."
The health care professionals interviewed for this story did not say what drugs they spoke about or put through clinical trials.
Dr. Jeffrey Barkin, a Portland psychiatrist and president of the Maine Association of Psychiatric Physicians, received the second highest total amount of money for speaking engagements: $63,375 from drugmaker Eli Lilly in 2009; another $31,950 from the same company in 2010; and $18,900 from drugmaker AstraZeneca in 2010.
In an interview with the Press Herald, Barkin said his speaking engagements were never specifically tied to certain drugs. Rather, his talks were about educating other physicians on appropriate diagnoses for psychiatric disorders and about the overlap of physical disease with psychiatric disease and how that can sometimes lead to fragmented care.
Barkin said he has not received any payments from drug companies since 2010, prior to his current employment, and said his feelings about the relationship between doctors and drug companies have evolved.
He said while there are benefits to having doctors, particularly specialists, speaking to other doctors about a particular drug or disease, especially in rural areas, he believes that the cozy relationships often drive up the cost of medications.
Still, even while he was being paid by drug companies to speak, he said he never felt his speaking engagements were a quid pro quo arrangement. "I wasn't writing more prescriptions for those drugs," he said.
Marjorie Powell, senior assistant general counsel for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, said in an email response that a number of factors have affected drug companies' interactions with physicians over the past years, but she did not elaborate on whether there has been an appreciable decrease in the number of paid speaking engagements.
