Schedule Issues
The most common problem that people experience is not being able to see available games. Click on "SCHEDULE" in the upper left column on this page, then click on "SELF ASSIGN." Remember to change the "date" settings and "sport/level" for the date and division you wish to referee then click on "search." You should see all available games for your level of certification.
Another potential issue is your contact information. Arbiter uses your home address and zip code to view available games. This information is private and cannot be seen by other users.
If you made a mistake or need to make a change to a game or cancel a game you have selected, email our scheduler, Leslie Cravitz (email@example.com) your request immediately.
Since the game schedule is set by 7:00 pm on Friday evenings, please contact Anna Winningham before then, so that the schedules are as set as can be for the following morning.
If you are still looking for games, check back frequently to ArbiterSports.com. Schedule changes for occur every day; causing games slots to open up and open games to get filled. However, please do not self-assign for Saturday morning after 7 pm Friday night. If you would like to take a slot that appears to be open after this time, contact Anna Winningham to inquire if the referee slot has been filled.

We are an online community of wine enthusiasts committed to taking the hassle, guesswork
and pretentiousness out of enjoying a great bottle of wine at a reasonable price.
For far too long buying wine has been a one-way street with experts using overblown
wine jargon to tell people what to drink.
Our mission is to transform choosing wine into an ongoing conversation between our
curators and your personal tastes. Wine is not about being told what to drink, it's
about the experience of discovering what you like. It's time for choosing and buying
wine to catch up with the simple, personal pleasure of drinking it.
For more details about how all of this works, please see our how it works page or join
now to get started.

Due to a main break on North Red Bank Road the Evansville Water Utility (IN5282002), is issuing a precautionary boil advisory.
The following areas are included:
While the potential for contamination of the drinking water is unlikely, the Evansville Water Utility is advising customers in the affected area to bring all cooking and drinking water to a complete boil for five (5) minutes before using. Please continue to boil all cooking and drinking water until we notify you that it is no longer necessary.
The Evansville Water Utility is implementing this precautionary boil advisory based upon information within the Water Supply Industry regarding additional precautionary steps that may safeguard the health of public water supply system customers.
The conditions regarding this issue and the magnitude of the affected area warrant these additional precautionary measures. We will notify you when the precautionary boil advisory will be lifted.
Further information regarding this issue may be obtained by calling the Water Department/Allens Lane at 812-421-2130.

Nobody will know the opposition better than Dutch youth international Nathan Ake when Chelsea take on Ajax in the NextGen Series at Aldershot tonight.
Ake (pictured left), an arrival from Feyenoord in the summer of 2011, is a Dutch team-mate of several members of the Ajax side, and believes we face a tough test despite being the home side.
'It's a big night for me because they're a Dutch team and I know almost all their players. A lot of them play for the Dutch national team, so I definitely want to win,' said the 17-year-old, who has been fielded increasingly more regularly as a holding midfielder, rather than his usual defensive slot, in recent weeks.
'I am close with some of them and know their games well, and I'm looking forward to playing against them. Ajax has some very good players and I know it will be very tough for us to play against them.
'People still think of Ajax as the biggest team and they have a great Academy, which teaches them to play good football, the way Chelsea like to also.
'We play them away in January, but the game on Wednesday is important because we have home advantage. We know it will be difficult but we hope to win this game.'
If we are to guarantee progress into the knockout stages in our first entry into the NextGen, then we will need to get the better of the Amsterdam club over the two forthcoming games, with an away date yet to be confirmed post-Christmas.
For the developing players who hope to be the stars of tomorrow, the competition has provided a taste of what European tests are to come at senior level.
'The tournament gives a great occasion and there are some good teams in it, so it's interesting to see the level of our team against teams in other countries,' Ake explained.
'It's a little different from the FA Youth Cup, which is just on one day and if you lose you are out, so that has more pressure, but this is a big tournament as well and we definitely want to go through to the next round.'
You can see Dermot Drummy's Under-19s take their first steps to qualification at the EBB Stadium tonight. Entry is £5 for adults and £1 concessions. Kick-off is 7pm, with updates to come from the official Chelsea Twitter feed.

I recently wrote about my new oxalis obsession elsewhere on the site, including a wide view of this particular plant, 'Burgundy Bliss,' in its pot. Then a friend sent me a link to this blog featuring a collection of phenomenal oxalis plants.
Look at Oxalis obtusa 'Coral', and the thin lines of colour through the petals. Or the way that Oxalis versicolor's petals unfurl in a spiral to reveal a strip of colour along the edges.
I am done for.

Rachel Maddow notes that support for marriage equality in Maryland has surged among African-Americans since President Barack Obama declared his support for equality.
Gay marriage opponents in Maryland said Tuesday they've handed in more than double the signatures required to hold a ballot referendum to squash the state's new same-sex marriage law.
Thursday is the deadline to submit to election officials at least one-third of the 56,000 signatures needed to get the referendum on the November ballot. But Maryland Marriage Alliance, which supports defining marriage as between a man and a woman, said it handed in some 122,000 later Tuesday.
The final deadline for all signatures, which the state Board of Elections has to count and verify, is June 30. Derek McCoy, executive director of Maryland Marriage Alliance, told msnbc.com that he was confident they now had the signatures to get on the ballot but they would still continue to collect them.
"What we're finding is that people are just engaged and passionate about this, even after Obama and the NAACP came out" in support of gay marriage," McCoy said. "Anybody that was on the fence is no longer on the fence."
A similar effort is under way in Washington state, where legislation approving same-sex marriage was signed into law by the governor earlier this year. Six states and the District of Columbia allow same-sex marriage, while 31 states have constitutional amendments that effectively ban gay marriage (this tally does not include California, where federal judges have ruled the amendment unconstitutional though further appeals are expected).
In mid-May, North Carolina became the most recent state to ban same-sex marriage. The day after that vote, President Barack Obama said he supported same-sex marriage, becoming the first American president to do so.
Obama who? Gay marriage foes seek to extend gains
Obama: 'I think same-sex couples should be able to get married'
In North Carolina gay marriage vote, it's Bill Clinton versus Billy Graham
Since then, a survey of Maryland voters has shown a "significant" uptick for support of gay marriage among African-Americans, according to results released last Thursday by Public Policy Polling, which said it did the poll on behalf of Marylanders for Marriage Equality -- the group campaigning to keep the same-sex marriage law on the books.
Some 57 percent of the state's voters say they would support the law in November, compared to 37 percent who are opposed. Meanwhile, 56 percent of African-Americans say they'll back the new law, with 39 percent opposed, almost a complete reversal from earlier numbers, said the polling firm.
The survey's overall margin of error was plus or minus 3.4 percent, and for the African-American sample it was plus or minus 4.9 percent.
Nationwide, a Gallup poll released in May revealed closer numbers, with 50 percent of Americans saying same-sex marriage should be legal, compared to 48 percent opposed. Support for gay marriage fell slightly in that poll from a record high of 53 percent in 2011, the first time a majority of Americans favored gay marriage. Opposition was 45 percent in that poll.
Kevin Nix, a spokesman for Marylanders for Marriage Equality, said his group expected opponents to get the required signatures since it was a "low bar" to cross.
"We're all planning on this going to a referendum," he said.

Ian, I just had 3 installed in a client's house. 2 of them on the second floor. No walls torn. The difference between a pro and DIY is that my electrical contractor sub can fish all the wiring from the 2nd floor to the basement without tearing up any walls.

Other than my most recent pumpkin seeds recipe, it's been a little while since my guy's given any of my kitchen creations a grunt, let alone two. I know he tends to be a bit stingy with his grunts – they're reserved for only what his dude-ly palate finds the best of the best. Still, I was starting to get a little pouty – give something a grunt already, man!
So when he gave Applesauce Pancakes with Apple Cider Syrup not just one, but two grunts up, I felt like I'd won a little prize.
Hey, it's the little things.
These surprisingly fluffy little pancakes have a nice subtle apple flavor enhanced by cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg. The syrup, on the other hand, packs a serious apple wallop with caramel-like overtones. Together: Apple breakfast nirvana, worth a coveted Two Grunts Up. Victory is mine, and I didn't even have to put bacon in it!
- Syrup
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1 or 2 cinnamon sticks
- Pancakes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (substitute another cup of all-purpose flour if you want)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon (or a hefty pinch) ground nutmeg
- 1¼ cups milk
- 2 eggs
- ⅔ cup applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- Make the syrup. Over medium heat in a medium saucepan, combine the cider and brown sugar, then add the cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes until the mixture is reduced by about ⅔. Remove from heat and let cool (it will thicken as it cools).
- Make the pancakes. In a large bowl, mix together the flours, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, applesauce, and vanilla. Stir in the melted butter.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, just until well-incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter by ¼ cupfuls onto a griddle heated to 350 degrees (or a pan on the stove on medium to medium-high heat). The batter will be somewhat thick – you may have to spread it around a bit with the measuring cup after you pour it. Don't fret if they're not perfect circles – rustic is always good! Cook until browned by both sides, and pancake is cooked through.
- Serve with Apple Cider Syrup.

Poedit is a gettext translation (.po file) editor for Unix, Windows, and OS X. It aims to provide translators with a simple, easy to use user interface with all the essential tools such as spellchecker or translation memory. It can also be used to manage translations for small projects.
Traditional vi is derived from the 4BSD source and includes support for modern operating systems, 8-bit input, multi-byte character encodings like UTF-8, and features demanded by POSIX.2. It contains few additions beyond this, so it is of interest for those who look for a small but well-defined vi implementation close to that of most commercial Unix systems. It also has some features to cope with primitive terminals or slow connections.
Encdec encodes and decodes C objects such as integers, IEEE754 float and double values, times, and internationalized strings to and from popular binary formats and a wide variety of character encodings as they might appear in various file formats or network messages. It is compiled directly against the libiconv sources.
The libmba package is a collection of mostly independent C modules potentially useful to any project. There are the usual ADTs including a linkedlist, hashmap, pool, stack, and varray, a flexible memory allocator, CSV parser, path canonicalization routine, I18N text abstraction, configuration file module, portable semaphores, condition variables, and more. The code is designed so that individual modules can be integrated into existing codebases rather than requiring the user to commit to the entire library. The code has no typedefs, few comments, and extensive man pages and HTML documentation.
Eigenbase Resource Generator (ResGen) generates wrapper classes for Java resource bundles. The generated classes contain a 'get' method for every resource string, with parameters appropriate to the parameters embedded in the resource string. If the resource is some kind of exception, it also generates a 'new' method to create an instance of that exception. C++ generation is also supported.
Envolution is a Content Management System which allows easy management and publication of information from a simple Web browser.

Violinist Aleksey Igudesman and pianist Hyung-ki Joo believe that classical music should be fun. That's why they subvert it whenever they appear on stage.
Igudesman and Joo are professional musicians who kick the stuffing out of music. They use every means at their disposal to find a laugh — combining elements of serious music with pop songs, playing instruments with unorthodox devices and generally cutting up on stage. Their YouTube videos — (beginning with one called "Rachmaninov Had Big Hands") have garnered over 20 million hits. Igudesman and Joo have been touring the US and stopped by NPR to play — in both senses of the word.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"It was really easy to personalise our names and colour specifications. All our guests have commented on how great the save the date looks and the idea of it being a magnet means it won't get lost on a shelf after al the time and effort that goes into choosing the perfect item. Our product arrived less than a week after ordering (only 2 days after approving the proof)- what great service."
"I ordered these save the dates as a magnet, and they are gorgeous! I chose a purple color to match my wedding, and it is exactly as expected. Our wedding has a vintage feel, so these totally fit the bill. Plus, I thought the fact that it was a magnet made it feel more special, and personalized. I was originally missing a couple envelopes with my order. When I contacted them they resolved the problem immediately, and had the envelopes (and extra save the dates) to me within days. Awesome customer service!"
"Much larger than I thought, which made it very easy to read. Beautiful detail & color quality. Very well made, they look much more expensive than they were. I know my guests will keep it on their fridge long after our wedding because they are just simply stunning! A must buy for your special event!"
"I used this template as a magnet. My family and I were pleasantly surprised how great the magnets looked and the quality of the product. I used the additional blank cards available to suggest accommodation and transportation as we are holding our wedding in a busy period for the area we are getting married. The cards are also beautiful! I wanted a vintage look and I feel I achieved this perfectly. Wedding Paper Divas shipped to Australia very quickly. I don't know how they create and ship so quick!"
"I was concerned with ordering my save the dates on line but they were so inexpensive i thought why not, They arrived a week early and were beautiful! Thick, high quality resolution and exactly a promised. I could not be happier with these cards."

why can't I do :
strncpy (str2,NULL,5);
This is a discussion on strncpy problem within the C Programming forums, part of the General Programming Boards category; why can't I do : strncpy (str2,NULL,5);...
why can't I do :
strncpy (str2,NULL,5);
Why? Because NULL is not a string.
Where is strncpy supposed to read the data (the source) to copy into the destination?
For information on how to enable C++11 on your compiler, look here.
よく聞くがいい!私は天才だからね! ^_^
so what do I do to assign str2 to NULL?
If str2 is an array:
If str2 is a pointer:Code:str2[0] = '\0';
Code:str2 = NULL;
For information on how to enable C++11 on your compiler, look here.
よく聞くがいい!私は天才だからね! ^_^
or if the string contains something sensitive like passwords, and you want to be extra secure, you can wipe the whole string like this:
Of course sizeof will only work if str2 is an array; if it's a pointer you need to know the actual size...Code:memset( str2, '\0', sizeof( str2 ) );
In most cases though, I'd just set the first character to NUL like Elysia showed.

Southern California environment news and trends
Washington State to impose $100 tax on electric car drivers
Bryan Mitchell, Getty Images
The Nissan Leaf prototype electric car.
Electric vehicles are definitely on the rise. With the market continuing to expand from the Volkswagon Electric E-Bugster to the much discussed Neon Leaf, it could be argued that EV's are the current belle of the auto industry ball.
With the State of California setting "clean car" rules to further reduce auto emissions, all signs are pointing to an overall healthier environment for everyone.
The state of Washington, however, seems to have missed the memo. Just last week, the Washington state senate passed a new law that charges owners of electric vehicles $100 to make up for lost gasoline tax. Senator Mary Margaret Haugen (D) sponsored the bill, and commented on its passage in a press release:
"We think the purchase of electric vehicles is great for the environment, but we also need to maintain our roads, which is why we have the gas tax," she stated in the release. "Electric vehicles put just as much wear and tear on our roads as gas vehicles. This simply ensures that they contribute their fair share to the upkeep of our roads."

422 S Main St, Grapevine, TX | Directions 7605132.936870 -97.078694
Best place in the DFW metro area to get wedding invitations! – I recently had my wedding invitations done with this store and they were amazing!!! The store has a very friendly staff and always available to answer my questions. The price was very good, much less than I anticipated paying for custom wedding invitations. The owner who is very nice is in the store most of the time but offered me her cell phone in the event that I needed to talk to her after hours. Not only did I do my invitations but I also did my programs, napkins, guest book and thank you notes. I love this place and I would suggest them to any and all of my friends!

I hate doing presentations
I have some stuff that must become finished in the works too. I just do many studies D= (or for mee it is many, I do not know when it's many or less)
I will post something finished soon. I promise!
For now:

Oh and pipes stuff.
Oh and that weird thing you won't recognize is my bracelet around my arm

I should go off.
Yaaay presentations are done!
I finally get back to finishing things (oh and I updated my self-portraits thread too).
Here are the updates...
1. Gundam Strike Noir portrait. I am so done with painting this... I just do not know what to add anymore.
2. Photostudy of my little hamster. I took the picture and did a study of it.
3, 4, 5, 6: drawing my classmates/people in trains etc + some lost zoo sketches
The guys are all standing that way because there were presentations. It is quite remarkable but they all stand like that except the one who is presenting at that time.
Just have to say that I love the way you just draw from life ..Also love your characters :).
You seem to be progressing with each page. Keep up the studies.
@Steveland: Thanks!
Here is today's new stuff, not so much v_v
Photostudy and some hands.
I do like your still life drawings/observations - it's your images that make me want to grab a sketchpad and draw what I see around me - (which I did after reading your posts yesterday), although all I drew on were post it notes..When I look at your SB, I just get the ethos and feeling of 'Observe and Draw'.
The lab picture, I get the impression that the girl was hard at work and the guy next to her was maybe resting for a bit or wondering what she was up too.
@Steveland: You mean this picture: http://attachments.conceptart.org/fo...1&d=1309202595 ?
The guy and girl are no way related in real life (though the sketch may suggest something else haha). The girl was sitting in the train and I drew that guy at school. xD
I am glad my drawings motivate you. :)
I will have less of that observational work the coming months since I do not have to go to school for a while. I will get back to them a lot when school starts again...
First some highlights from my self-portraits thread:
Inspirational music:
For today's updates, check my next post, attachment manager went wack
Hey Sushy, keep the good pace up! There is some wonderful stuff here - are you still a computer engineering major as you said you were on the first page?
Those self portraits look good. It's great to see you experimenting with different mediums and styles. :)
There seems to be problems with rest of the works. I for one can't see them. :(
@Kerah: Thanks! Yeah I sadly still am studying Computer Engineering. I hate it with more passion now. I sometimes dream of going back to art schools and such.
@Ville_S: Yeah I see it! They just disappeared, must be something wrong. I reupload them in this post.
Something went wrong so here are the images/updates again:
1. I finished an experimental acrylic painting. It is a still life... xD I plan on exploring this technique some more.
2. I doodled some romantic furries and coloured it.
3. Photostudy of my little hamster (I took a photo of him and painted it, my hamster moves too quick to draw from life).
I gave up my formal scientific degree pursuit (math) and now concentrating on art only, you know, trying to live up to the saying of 'do what you love'. Maybe you can do it too, but perhaps for some it's too drastic of a measure *shrug*
@Kerah: well I first have to get this degree so that my parents stop whining. After this degree it will be free range. I might try to get in an art school, do some courses or just freelance away.
Not much to show for today's updates...
I released a new page for my web comic: http://fantasypower.net
1. Loomis studies
2. Vanderpoel studies
3. something that started out as a doodle.
This PSD went thruogh some nasty stuff. My computer got stuck saving it and placed the End of File at the wrong place. I find this very weird, if my computer got stuck saving it, when was that EOF placed then? Or is it some emergency measurement like "if a process hangs, place the EOF right away"? Maybe Windows 7 isn't that logical xD
Or maybe Photoshop places EOFs not at the end? LOL
Or maybe Photoshop gives incorrect errors... When programming I worry the least about error handling as well haha
Anyway, Photoshop could not open the PSD anymore because the EOF was at the wrong place. I managed to get this PSD recovered thanks to some online tool...
Oh gosh most painful moment of the day.
Even though this psd was a doodle at first, I really started to like it. :(
But anyway, here is it so far. It is not finished yet. And everytime I hit "Save" I am scared it gets stuck again xD
Why do I even rant about this
Today's updates are only some studies from life.
First some studies of my feet...
This afternoon I did a session with my "models": two guinea pigs, a rabbit and a
The other images show the results of that. It was hard because the guinea pigs kept moving.
And the rabbit was sitting somewhere where I couldn't really see him well (it was sunny and he was sitting in the shadow while I was in the sun)
Last one is a quick mosquito sketch from a photo.
And more!
First some contours of fruit (from life), then some cars from photos and then I wanted to draw some cars from life. So I went outside and picked some cars from a street.
And some Pokemon fan art XD
Liking the pokemon stuff - haven't seen that in years. The feet studies look great.
The jaguar car looks really good, perhaps slightly tilted to one side, or is it just me?
You're updating regularly, I can't imagine how hard it is keeping up with a busy degree and drawing so much. Or is it summer vacation for you already? :)
@Steveland: Thanks! :D Yeah I used to be a pokemonfan. ^^
@Kerah: Yeah there is something wrong with that Jag, most of my car drawings are out of proportion I have noticed. I just need to practice them more! D=
Yeah I have vacation now. It can be very frustrating to keep up with that degree when all I want is drawing... It is drawing that keep me going. If my day only consisted of my school stuff I probably would go mad.
I should be way more productive during this vacation, but that does not seem the case o_0
Anyway, today's updates:
Loomis studies and a photostudy.
And oh noes I have to go to the dentist today! One of my worst fears.........
Even if I don't reply I'm still keeping tabs on your thread !
Keep rocking' Sushy =)
@Shad: Yaay thanks! :D I sure will try to keep rocking! :rocker:
I have been slacking off again (oh noes, vacations are for drawing more MORE than when I went to school)...
And here are today's updates:
1. Hand studies
2. A photostudy of a bird.
3. A house (from life)
4. Commissioned work.
Daily update again :anime:
sort of self-portrait (but without ref)
And I discovered sewing! I am not very good at it, but I found it really fun. Next time I make sure the wires are ... in ... the ... right ... way... I have no idea how to say that LOL
Anyway, I tried to make a fish plush.
Other than that I did some Loomis studies...
More stuff... I get slow with scanning again D=
First three are from my sketchbook, the other one is a doodle out of frustration and feeling ill etc etc.
Oh and I did a crappy environment study:
And here is more... I think I am getting sick... Strange head-ache won't go away, makes it hard to focus D=
study of my new shoe!

and more studies...
Attachment 1276011
Oh and I finally finally discovered how to add attachments correctly. Isn't that awesome?
Hey Sushy! I can definitely see some improvement here compared to the first page. Your studies are quite nice, but the creative stuff is lacking. Perhaps you can combine the two by using references as you come up with your own things. Take for instance the Pokemon playing baseball- while it may be a cartoon character, you could find references of batters online to help with the pose. The same goes for the the Dark angel character. At the moment he looks very rigid and flat. With references of anatomy and wings, you could have drawn him looking more natural and believable. That's not to say you can't still stylize things, of course!
@AmandaMyers: Thanks, yeah I really should combine that. I have thought about it several times but I did not do it yet xD
I changed the thumbnail of this sketchbook! Shocking!
Here is something I should have posted yesterday:

Commissioned work (without ref):
Attachment 1277512
*blows nose* this is not the right time for a cold... GAH...
Liking the "sketches", shows that you're really working well to keep things dynamic and proportional in your work.
Didn't notice it, but I do like the must learn anatomy cartoon.
The self portrait looks great - have to say that art folder looks huge!
@Steveland: haha that cartoon was drawn very quickly XD I tend to do random stuff next to my Loomis studies...
Yeah that art folder is quite big. That illustration is a portrait of me when I went to art school... I had to take that folder with me at least two days a week (and sometimes even more). We had to work on rather big surfaces (A2).
Another commission (for the same person but still, it's a commission):
Attachment 1278399
Crappy still life done during Creusa's livestream XD
Attachment 1278400
Attachment 1278401
Attachment 1278406
Attachment 1278407
Attachment 1278408
Some inspiration :D
Daily updates time...
Here is an update on that imagination self-portrait thing (more in my self-portraits thread):
Then... Environments for the study group.
^ that one is without ref.
And furthermore [attached] some hands studies and a croissant.
I drew that croissant today because I was mad at myself for not being as productive as I planned this summer.
hey sushy :)
Don't be mad with yourself about productivity, just draw! What a terrible advice giver, huh?
Anycat, how about splashing in more details in those landscape studies? I don't know how easily you handle them, but more details would probably help make you better at those.
The Loomis studies look good, how about some more? What are you concentrating on right now? Or are you just practicing whatever you wish?
Oh, and thanks for drawing that portrait of mine that was really cool, I appreciate the initiative! :)
Stay strong, enjoy the summer, down some beers and draw some cool stuff!
@Kerah: Thanks :D Well maybe the "just draw" advice is the best advice given ever XD
The landscape studies were quite lowres so I found it hard to add more details (which is weird, I mean I could always have made pixel art of it D= )
I guess I try better next time. ^^;
I am not really concentrating on something, I just try to fill a sketchbook with Loomis studies because I want to have it full within two weeks (weird reason I know... xD).
Well well here are today's updates... I have to go to the docter and I am nervous about it so I am posting here for distraction!
First of all, some sketching...
First sketch:
Attachment 1280565
Second sketch:
Attachment 1280566
In the second sketch I wanted to make the first sketch, but bigger and more sophisticated but for some reason I cannot achieve the same gesture for the creature. So the first sketch is better (in my opinion) but I am frustrated that I cannot sketch it bigger and better and will have to stick with the first one! D=
(and it was done on scrap paper, rather unintended)
Further... More Loomis (trying to get that sketchbook full).
I like the monster sketch. Especially the first. Not because of the gesture- they're a bit too similar for me to really tell a difference... No, I like the first one because it has other characters. Perhaps try doing some 30 second gesture drawings to loosen yourself up a bit. Both sketches seem stiff. Understandable since you were nervous about your doctor's visit!
Also, don't forget about references! Maybe even take a picture of yourself doing the pose. I imagine the creature's body would be turning a bit to try and pull harder on his bonds. At the very least, his arms would be swinging to the left.

Last weekend my family went on an adventure to gather wild artichoke blooms. We snipped an entire wagonload of the wild purple artichoke flowers, and I just love the color palette. Leave it up to Mother Nature to take my least favorite color, purple, and make it look fabulous. Who knew that mixing shades of purple, from lilac to deep aubergine, pairing it with artichoke green would be so beautiful? I'd love to see an interior designer take this palette and apply it to a dramatic dining room. It's hard to show on screen, but the purple of the soft flowers is super bright—almost fluorescent. Bumblebees love them (spot one in the photo!). Mom is working on some arrangements using the blooms and I'll share them with you soon.

Hello, I have this iATKOS V7 disk which fell out of the sky on my desk, and I'm currently running Windows Vista, I've got 3 partitions, one for Vista, one for random stuff, and a 17gb for iATKOS... From what I've read if I install it now, I won't be able to boot Vista any more because my boot file will be messed up. So how will I avoid this, or how will I be able to fix it before messing it up for good. Do I have to backup something before I start installing IATKOS?
Some explanation would be appreciated

Where are D&I Advocates in the Social Media Movement?
by Andrés T. Tapia —
I was about two months in as president of Diversity Best Practices and talking with several colleagues about expanding the company's reach and its social media presence: the page on Facebook and the new Twitter strategy.
That's when it hit me.
The most powerful technology ever that can enable inclusion is in the palm of our hands, yet too many of us who understand the power of inclusion–particularly D&I practitioners–are MIA in its use.
Social media has become a ubiquitous part of everyday life. Last year, 3 of 10 Internet sessions included a visit to Facebook, according to ComScore. What's more, visitors to Twitter increased 89% in 2010—and that's not including those who accessed the site through third-party mobile apps. LinkedIn is blossoming as well, experiencing a 30% boost in visitors between December 2009 and December 2010.
Given the myriad means of accessing social media, it is indeed the most inclusive technology in history. The implications of this are huge. As a child growing up under an oppressive dictatorship in Peru, I lived in a country where the government controlled the flow of information. Those in power determined what messages were disseminated and who had the right to do so. Today, social media provides anyone—regardless of race, gender, religion, physical or mental ability, sexual orientation or socio-economic status—with a virtually uncensored forum to reach the masses.
Recent world events have illustrated the global impact of this all-access technology. Following the earthquake and tsunami that ravaged Japan, people were able to find out the status of loved ones through updates on sites like Facebook and YouTube. Fundraising efforts launched almost immediately, allowing people around the globe to donate money for relief aid. Messages posted on social media outlets prompted young adults in Egypt to gather in protest—a monumental effort that culminated in President Hosni Mubarak abdicating power after a 30-year reign. And, in the United States, we may not have had our first African-American president if it weren't for the grassroots campaigns that germinated online.
Carlos Dominquez, a self-described nowist and a Senior Vice President in Cisco System's Office of the Chairman of the Board and CEO, has described the rise of social media as "one of the greatest transformations in the history of mankind." He contends that companies that leverage these tools will gain a significant competitive advantage, while those that don't will not be long for the business world.
A good number of companies have recognized this and are harnessing the power that lies within social media. In 2010, 60% of Fortune 500 companies had a corporate Twitter account—a jump from just 35% the previous year, according to a study by the Center for Marketing Research at the University of Massachusetts. Of these companies, 56% were on Facebook and 23% had a public-facing corporate blog.
So far, companies seem to be focused on social media as a means of supporting their marketing and customer service efforts. Diversity practitioners have yet to join the revolution and are missing out on a true inclusion opportunity.
From widening a company's diversity recruiting net to tapping into trends in globalization to spreading the word about a company's commitment to diversity and inclusion, opportunities abound for diversity professionals to engage an inclusive medium that reaches people from all walks of life inside and outside the organization. The growth and impact of this technology show no signs of stopping. In fact, it is going to continue to accelerate exponentially.
Like the companies for which they work, diversity professionals who don't friend social media now will find themselves wondering what happened. So link up and link in, book some face time, Twitter, YouTube, Digg, Flickr or whatever is just over the horizon. We can't afford to be missing in action in social media.

I was recently approached by the cosmetics brand Carrefour to write a song for their new range. This was the first time that I was asked to write music for an advert but luckily my partner in crime, Mallum, knew just what was needed and the music was accepted. "L'amour et le soutien que j'ai reçu de la française a été surprenant et le plus apprécié"
So here it is…the song Auriol Hays – Beside You Master
A music video off the new album CALL IT LOVE, Anima Sola. The song is called OVER MY SHOULDERS. The new album deals with the vulnerability we all feel within a relationship.

EDMONTON - As the world buzzes over the scandalous disappearance of perhaps $375 million US worth of Bitcoins in the closure of the Tokyo-based Mt. Gox exchange, the virtual currency is coming to West Edmonton Mall.
Edmonton-based BitNational is opening a Bitcoin exchange service at 2 p.m. Thursday at Entrance 50 in the mall. Their Robocoin Kiosk will be connected to the global market and will allow users to buy or sell Bitcoins at market value. Bitcoin had reached a high of more than $1,240 US in late November. On Wednesday, just days after the closure of Mt. Gox, Bitwat.ch pegged the value at $579 US.
BitNational co-CEO Drew Glover said users of his fledgling company's kiosk can be assured of its security.
"We're utilizing a Canadian-based exchange which provides stability, for sure."
The Robocoin Kiosk operates in an ATM-like fashion. Cash or Bitcoin is inserted and the opposite is dispensed. BitNational said its kiosk is one of the first 25 automated exchange services in the world. There are also automated exchanges operated by various companies in Ottawa, Vancouver, Montreal, Winnipeg, Toronto, Boston, Albuquerque, N.M. and Austin, Tex.
A BitNational release said the company will have a representative stationed at the kiosk to provide information.
"We believe that providing Bitcoin with a central location gives people the chance to come learn and develop their own opinion on this new technology that has the whole planet buzzing."
Glover also said it is his hope that stores in WEM will begin accepting Bitcoins as payment. Currently, none do.

Commitment to diversityThe partnership with Pride at Work Canada established in early 2009 has accelerated TELUS' journey to create a fully inclusive workplace and be an employer that models respect, openness and equitable opportunity for its team members, customers and communities alike.
TELUS has a long-standing commitment to diversity and inclusiveness and is honoured to be named, for the third straight year, one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers. This year's list pays tribute to 45 organizations in Canada that have developed exceptional diversity initiatives to promote inclusiveness, such as Spectrum, TELUS' LGBTQ employee resource group.
Vision for the futureOur world is rich with diversity. At TELUS we believe the diversity of our team is a significant competitive advantage and we value the contribution and worth of each and every team member.
We work together, unified by our respect for each other, the TELUS values, and the pursuit of our business strategy. Diversity and inclusiveness thrive when we honour and leverage the traditions, beliefs, lifestyles, abilities and perspectives of all members of our team.
I am proud to work for an organization that is deeply committed to the LGBTQ community – internally and externally. For example, Spectrum has grown dramatically in the last two years, thanks in large part to the support of TELUS leaders, our team members and our Diversity & Inclusiveness Office and Council. Today, we have four chapters and over 320 members across Canada.
In 2010, TELUS launched Caya, two communications and entertainment technology stores in downtown Vancouver that welcome everyone while being tailored to the LGBTQ community and its allies.
Learn more about Caya and please take a moment to watch this video to learn more about our support for LGBTQ youth.

"I've received this stickers in four days; although, I wasn't expecting them till a week or so. But love the shipping since it was fast. I'm going to use this as part of my daughter's 1st birthday favors and the quality and the way it looks is perfect!"
"I gave this to my daughter entering High School as a Freshman as a little back to school gift. I put her name and her school name on it (just the acronym due to lack of space) She loved it! I wish TinyPrints would offer more sitckers that allow this. It was hard to find the right one."
"These gift tages / labels were a perfect idea for all of our back to school labeling. My son put them on his folders, in his books, on his binder. Good quality and really cute design!"
"I have ordered this product now twice for my son's birthday parties. I have received many compliments on it. It is easy and you don't have to spend $2-3 dollars every time for a card which gets thrown away anyways."
"The personalized stickers arrived within the time promised and were exactly the way I ordered them. I put them on cupcake boxes and they fit perfectly!"

Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
- Special Interests Heavily Involved in Farm Bill ManeuveringJanuary 30, 2014 11:14 AM
A five-year farm bill has finally -- after three years of congressional bickering -- passed the House, and could get final approval from the Senate as soon as today. Crop insurance came out the big winner in terms of increased funding.
- Agribusiness and the Farm Bill: Wayward Dems Benefit from ContributionsJuly 16, 2013 12:29 PM
In the days leading up to the defeat of the original farm bill, Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) proposed an amendment that would have reduced crop insurance funding to avoid cuts to the food stamps program. A largely party-line vote ensured the amendment's defeat. But it wasn't just the GOP that sank the measure: Eight Democrats joined the Republican majority and helped reject it. It turns out that many of these Dems have received significant political contributions from agricultural organizations that benefit from crop insurance subsidies, according to an OpenSecrets.org analysis.
- Crop Insurance Figured as Key Issue in Farm Bill DebateJune 21, 2013 1:30 PM
The debate over the farm bill roiled the House this week, and crop insurance -- the new way to get money into farmers' pockets as direct payments are phased out -- figured as a key issue in the proceedings. Like the program or not, there's no denying that crop insurance firms have ramped up their political activity in recent years.
- Through Thick and Thin, Blue Dog Money Follows Blue Dog MembersMay 1, 2013 3:13 PM
It's been said if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. Just make sure it's blue. Members of the House Blue Dog Coalition contribute to other Blue Dogs to an unusual degree.
- Leadership PAC Funds Often Give Little to Other Candidates April 9, 2013 4:28 PM
Leadership PACs are an extension of a politician's brand. Set up as auxiliaries to traditional campaign committees, they're traditionally thought of as ways for politicians to earn goodwill by passing campaign cash on to other party members -- bestowing gifts on up-and-comers in exchange for loyalty down the road, or offering tribute to party higher-ups. But in an analysis of leadership PACs, OpenSecrets.org found that of the 25 leadership PACs that spent more than $1 million in the last election cycle, just five of them gave more than 50 percent of their money to other candidates.
- Farm Bill Still Hanging: More Than 70 Groups Lobby on Food StampsDecember 3, 2012 1:33 PM
This year's Farm Bill, including its food stamp provisions, stalled in the House before the election. But the program has a big constituency, and it's not just poor people -- something lawmakers looking for budget cuts might want to keep in mind.
- Monsanto's Deep Roots In WashingtonMay 9, 2012 3:57 PM
It's planting season, which brings to mind one of the most ubiquitous names in agribusiness: Monsanto. Love it or hate it -- and there are plenty of people on either side -- the company's formidable Washington presence makes it a tough competitor.
- Blue Dog Fundraising Climbs as Coalition Fights ExtinctionMarch 20, 2012 12:41 PM
Blue Dog Democrats are an endangered species on Capitol Hill, but their fundraising suggests they may be clawing their way back with a little help from Democratic leadership PACs, among others.
- Blue Dog Democrats Ramp Up Fund-Raising for 2012 ElectionJuly 20, 2011 5:05 PM
After nearly half the coalition was wiped out in the 2010 elections, Blue Dog Democrats are becoming more and more of an endangered species. Just 25 Blue Dogs remain in office. But if money is any indication, those Blue Dogs that remain appear ready to put up a tough fight in 2012.
- Koch Industries Solicited by Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee for Campaign CashJuly 8, 2011 3:55 PM
Koch Industries has not taken kindly to a request from Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) to contribute money to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which Murray chairs. Koch Industries, an oil and gas industry giant, primarily supports the Republican Party, but Murray was correct in noting past support from the company.
- Business Targets Campaigns of Key Committee MembersApril 13, 2011 4:45 PM
It's no secret that corporations and special interest groups that dominate lobbying in the nation's capital routinely shower campaign cash on congressional committees directly affecting affect their business interests. But a study by the Center for Responsive Politics and The Fiscal Times found that special interests routinely target members of Congress who can do them the most good.
- Unions to Flex Political Muscles, Sarah Palin Links Obama to BP Money and More in Capital Eye Opener: May 25May 25, 2010 10:00 AM
UNIONS PLAN TO FLEX MUSCLES: Two major unions plan to spend $100 million to influence the upcoming elections, The Hill reports. The American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) intends to invest $67 million and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) will spend $44 million.
- Campaigns of Few House Incumbents Fueled by the 'Small Donors'May 18, 2010 1:00 PM
Reps. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) and Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) don't agree on health care reform. They don't agree on energy legislation, nor do they agree on immigration. Politically, they may not agree on much at all. However, they do share one distinction. Both have received nearly two-thirds of their campaign contributions from donors who contribute $200 or less, the Federal Election Commission's threshold for itemized disclosure. By comparison, the average House member only received 7 percent of their contributions from such "small donors."
- Democrats Aligned with Abortion-Rights Opponents Receive Money From Them July 22, 2009 4:29 PM
Although abortion-rights opponents have given Republicans 95 percent of their $6.9 million in campaign contributions since 1989, several Democrats are among those pushing for an abortion funding ban in the health care bill. Many of the Democrats involved have collected money from pro-life groups but not pro-choice organizations, the CRP has found.
- Ethanol Producers Fueled By Oil and Gas CompaniesMay 28, 2009 12:04 PM
As biofuel companies and oil and gas companies form an unlikely--though perhaps inevitable--alliance, the smaller biofuels are benefiting both by the capital and the backing of an industry with longstanding influence over the federal government.
- Mystery PACs Put Under the Magnifying GlassJuly 23, 2008 12:30 PM
We watchdogs can let our guard down just a little now that the Federal Election Commission has started to require leadership PACs to disclose their affiliations with politicians on their electronic filing forms. With your help, CRP previously identified dozens of Mystery PACs, revealing the political action committees that nearly got away with hiding such affiliations.
- Florida Sweetens the Deal for SugarJuly 2, 2008 9:45 AM
The Sunshine State is planning to buy out the U.S. Sugar Corp. for the hefty price of $1.75 billion, and give the 187,000 acres of land currently inhabited by sugar cane back to the alligators and pelicans of the Florida Everglades. But this isn't the first time that money has passed between government and the sugar industry.
- Crops Compete for Scarce Resources (Part of the "Cultivating Support in Washington" Series)July 12, 2007 6:22 PM
Wheat, citrus and sugar producers have their own wish lists for the 2007 farm bill.

It depends on who you ask.
Some people have said it was in response to something Millie Kirkham did vocally, but I think that's an assumption based on his saying, "Sing it, baby!" I think that was simply in reference to the fact that he's up there cracking up and she's still singing flawlessly as if there's nothing funny going on.
Others say he just cracked himself up over the "gaze at your bald head..." line and couldn't ever get over it.
Then there is the story that in response to Elvis singing that, a guy in the audience lifted the toupee' off his head to acknowledge that the question did apply to him, and that's what put him over the edge.
Whatever it was, it sure makes for an entertaining listen.

I really hate when people post comments just to say the artist of the shirt ripped off another shirt. Nothing is 100% original even if you don't try to rip others off. Anyways, it's a great shirt, stop focusing on a different shirt. It depresses me sometimes to even read the comments section. Like, to the point where I didn't buy a shirt because of it.

Panera, with locations in Westfield and Springfield, offered this appetizer recipe:
Jean's Kentucky Bourbon Fig Compote:
- 1 1/2 cup whole or halved walnuts or pecans
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 3/4 cup Kentucky bourbon (Jim Beam Black® is best)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 cups diced dried Mission figs (or other combination of dried fruit)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or Limoncello
- Pinch sea salt
- 1 package (.4 ounces) fruit pectin (about 4 1/2 teaspoons)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, Brie, or Stilton, softened or at room temperature
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread nuts on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 6 to 8 minutes until lightly toasted and fragrant. Shake the pan every minute or two, so the nuts do not burn. Remove them from the oven and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, melt butter, sugar, and bourbon in a saucepan on low heat; then add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, and stir well.
3. Add figs (or other dried fruit), vanilla extract, lemon juice or Limoncello, and salt. Let mixture steep for about 10 to 15 minutes, until the fruit is plump and soft.
4. Sprinkle pectin over fruit. Stir well and turn up heat to medium. Cook until bubbly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5. Toast bread, if using, and cut into triangles; slice bagels, if using, toast and cut each half into four to eight pieces.
6. Pour warm compote over cheese and scatter nuts on top. Serve with assorted toasted Panera® breads and bagels, such as French, Whole Grain, and Honey Wheat Breads or Cinnamon Crunch, Cinnamon Swirl & Raisin, or French Toast Bagels.
TIP: If you prefer, use a combination of golden raisins, dried cranberries, or diced dried apricots in place of some or all of the figs. Just make sure your final amount is 2 cups total.

This Apple and Cranberry Galette recipe comes courtesy of Williams-Sonoma, with a store on Central Avenue in Westfield.
This beautiful open-faced pastry, with scarlet cranberries nestled among golden apple slices, is a gorgeous finale for a holiday meal. Because the fruit filling has been simmered before it goes into the oven, the galette bakes quickly and evenly. This recipe makes 2 galettes—each one will serve 5 or 6 people.
For the pastry:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 Tbs. white cornmeal
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 12 Tbs. (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 6 Tbs. sour cream
- 1/2 cup ice-cold water
For the filling:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 Tbs. honey
- 3 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 8 large Granny Smith apples, about 4 lb. total, peeled, cored and sliced
- 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
- 2 Tbs. unsalted butter, cut into thin slices
- Sugar for dusting (optional)
- Crème fraîche for serving (optional)
To make the pastry, in a food processor, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt. Scatter the chunks of butter over the top and pulse for a few seconds until the butter pieces are the size of small peas. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and ice water. Drizzle the mixture over the dough and pulse until the dough is smooth and clings together. Pat the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, to make the filling, in a large fry pan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, honey, lemon juice and cinnamon and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the apple slices and simmer until the apples begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the apple slices to a bowl.
Add the cranberries to the liquid in the fry pan and simmer until they start to pop, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cranberries to the bowl with the apples. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil the liquid until reduced slightly, then spoon over the fruit.
Position 2 racks in the middle of an oven and preheat to 400°F.
Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each half into a round about 12 inches in diameter and transfer to separate baking sheets. Divide the fruit filling equally between the pastry rounds and spread it in an even layer, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border uncovered. Fold the border over the fruit, pleating the edges to form a rim. Lay the butter slices over the exposed fruit. Dust the pastry rims with sugar.
Bake the galettes, rotating them 180 degrees at the midway point, until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer the pans to wire racks and let the galettes cool completely on the pans. Serve with crème fraîche. Makes two 9-inch galettes; serves 10 to 12.
